A/N: Sorry sorry sorry. I meant to write this all week but I've been really busy and my computer has been screwy.

Thanks so much to everybody that reviewed, I reached my goal of 15. Yippee. Keep it up.

Here it is, chapter 19, enjoy!

Renesmee's Point of View

I was afraid of the consequences that I would get when I walked through the door of the Cullen house. I saw Emmett looking at me in the rearview mirror like he wanted to say something but instead he just thought about it and a goofy grin was on his face the entire ride home. The ride didn't take as long as I wanted it to. I wanted to sit in the safe confines of the jeep with Emmett and Rosalie because I would rather deal with Emmett any day then the out lash that my father was sure going to give me. I just sat in the backseat looking down out my feet. When we pulled up to the house I heard everybody get out of their cars and go into the house. I was still trying to get up the courage to get out and join them inside.

I sat in the jeep for a few minutes, not moving an inch from the position that I was comfortable in. I knew that everybody was impatiently waiting for me in the house and that bothered me. I looked up and got out of the car, dragging my bag by my side like a lost little girl. Perhaps I would be after this conversation.

I slowly turned the handle on the door and saw what I was dreading. My entire family including my grandparents, my aunts, my uncles, my parents and all of my new extended family were sitting in the living room awaiting my arrival. They all stared at me as I entered the room and sat in the chair that I'm sure that they reserved for me. My mom was sitting on my father's lap next to Jasper and Emmett, with Alice and Rosalie sitting on the floor in front of them. Alex and Ann were on the loveseat with her legs thrown over his lap and Carrie and John were sitting on the chair adjacent to mine. Esme and Carlisle stood behind the couch were my parents were sitting and my chair was in the middle of the expansive room like the police were interrogating me. My grandpa Charlie would have loved this.

I didn't have the strength to look up at my family because I knew that they were all waiting for me to say something. Nobody wanted to be the first one to say anything but I knew what they were all thinking. I didn't need to be a mind reader to figure that one out.

"Say what you want to say dad," I said in a mere whisper. I couldn't look him in the eyes, I just couldn't. I felt like I had disappointed my father.

"You haven't disappointed me," he said. Damn! "I just want to know what the hell you are thinking?"

"I honestly don't know. I just like the way that he makes me feel. He seems to be interested in me for who I am, not what I look like. He seems genuine."

"Nessie do you realize all of the complications that go with this?"

"Of course I do," I yelled and looked up at him. "You don't think that I have thought about that at all. That's what I am worried about. I'm afraid to touch him. I don't want to hurt him, I don't want him to feel how warm my skin is, I don't want him to know that you guys are my real parents and most of all I don't want him to know that I'm half-vampire. I never thought that I would think of somebody like this, I thought there was something was wrong with me. With Jacob and the whole imprinting thing, he is supposed to be my soul mate. He is supposed to be the one that I fall in love with and blah blah. I just never had those feelings for him, I never will. I thought that there was something wrong with me, that I couldn't just love the one person that is perfect for me, so to speak. And I'm not saying that I am in love with Ross, we haven't talked that much yet. I just know that I feel something different for him then I have for any other person before. Dad, you have to understand where I am coming from, especially considering how you and mom met. You can't hold this against me."

"Renesmee," he said softly. He had his fingers holding the bridge of his nose like he was thinking really hard. "You need to take this slowly."

"I am."

"Then what the hell was the hug thing," he asked raising his voice to me.

"He hugged me dad, it's just the way that he is. He wasn't trying to get in my pants. I could at least feel that. It was inviting and it was nice. I hate to break it to you but I liked it. And I know that you are my father and that you care a lot about me but this is my decision. I don't need it on parade for everybody in this family to interject their opinion into the situation. I don't know what I am feeling right now. All I do know is that when I see him I can't stop smiling, I get this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach trying to figure out what he is thinking or analyzing every little movement that he makes."

"Honey," my mother said in a calming voice. "We are not putting you on trial here. We are just trying to figure out what is going on so that we can better understand it. I know that your father tends to overreact a little bit. I know that more than anybody but you just need to take things slowly. Be careful."

"I know mom, I know. I'm not going to go jump into his bed or anything and I'm not going to show him my gifts or blurt out the wrong thing. I have been going over it again and again, trying to figure out what I am feeling. I don't know but I'm not going to ignore him."

Everybody sat in silence. It was deafening. I didn't know what everybody was thinking and I wanted to know. Yet again I was wishing that I had my father's powers. The room was silent for what felt like hours but it was only a few minutes.

"Nessie's got a boyfriend, Nessie's got a boyfriend," Emmett chanted over and over again. I bet he had been holding that one in all day. I glared at him and stormed out of the room and ran outside into the New York afternoon. I made my way into the woods and started tearing apart the forest that was in my way.

Apparently anger fueled my abilities more than I had thought. If we were going to fight I was going to have to be antagonized before hand. Emmett's little wise cracks were normally funny but that was not the time or place to be making jokes.

The rest of the day I barely talked to anybody as we practiced in the backyard and in the woods. John helped me with my abilities, having me focus more and more on making my abilities more powerful. He really was a great teacher, being very patient with me even when I got tired. The rest of my family basically stayed out of my way for the most part. Around bed time my mom and I sat in my room after I had taken a shower.

"I wanted to talk to you alone," she said to me sitting at the bottom of my bed with her legs crossed looking at me lying underneath the covers. I propped myself up with some pillows and looked at her, edging her to continue. "I know that you are confused right now and that you are sick of being watched like a hawk. But I just wanted you to know I used to feel the same way as you do."

"You did?"

"Your father did that to me when I was a human. The way that your stomach is flipping and you don't know anything except for the fact that you want him around. I know that you are young and you haven't been alive for very long but sometimes love comes around quickly and it's something that even if you don't want it to happen it is going to happen anyways. I just want you to know that I support you in every way, no matter what you choose to do or who you do it with. Ross is welcome here anytime and as for your father I will keep him in check."

"Really," I screeched jumping across the bed and landing on top of her giving her a hug. "You support me?"

"Of course I do. Ross seems like a descent guy and although your dad wants to think badly about him he has nothing but good thoughts about you."

"Speaking of, would you mind telling me what was so funny at lunch today?"

"Edward was listening to his thoughts as he watched you eat the piece of pizza and he thought that it looked like you just drank blood."

I looked at my mother for a moment before I busted out laughing. I lifted myself off of her and curled back up under my blankets still laughing.

"Now you see why were laughing so hard."

"Yeah. Little does he know that it's the exact opposite."

"And it's going to stay that way."

"Of course. I wanted to run something by you."

"Okay."

"Well you said that he was welcome here anytime and I kind of mentioned to him today that if he needed help with Spanish that I would help him and we kind of made plans to hang out this weekend. Do you think that he could come over here for the day?"

"I'm sure that won't be a problem."

"Is there any way that we could get everybody out of here."

"Renesmee Carlie Cullen, you will not be alone in a house with a boy," she spoke with an intimidating voice.

"I know that but I just don't want dad here or Emmett or Jasper or anybody."

"Who could you deal with?"

I pondered over it for a minute and I would have chosen Ann and Alex except for the fact that Ross thought that we just met at school and there would be no reason for them to be at my house all day. My dad was out of the question and any of my uncles. Basically it left me with Rosalie, Alice, Esme and Carlisle. If it was Rose and Alice then it might have resulted in Ross getting an unexpected makeover.

"Grandma and grandpa. I figure that parents being home on the weekends isn't such a crazy idea."

"No worries honey. I will organize something for all of us to do to get us out of the house without there being any troubles."

"Thank you mom," I said while yawning. "I guess I'm always going to be busy between school, practice and homework."

"And add a boy into that equation. Now you know how we all used to feel."

"Fine, I'm tired."

"Sweet dreams sweetheart," she said quietly giving me a kiss on the forehead and tucking in the covers around my body. "I love you."

"I love you too mom, thank you."

"You're welcome."

I heard my mother escape upstairs and I was asleep before I heard her walk up the stairs to go to her bedroom.

Bella's Point of View

I can't believe I just allowed Nessie to have a boy over this weekend. I knew that she wasn't stupid but I would never be brave enough to have a guy come over to this house, knowing that the Cullens would all be in the woods using their super hearing to listen to everything that was being said and Edward would be listening to their thoughts. Now was going to be the hard part, convincing Edward that it would be a good idea. That will go over well.

"Hey," I said entering the room to see Edward lying on our massive bed with his arm across his face. "Are you alright?"

"Is it possible for a vampire to get a headache," he mumbled towards me.

"I don't know but I've asked myself the same thing before." I walked over to our bed and lay down next to him. "What are you thinking about that's giving you such a headache?"

"It's not what I'm thinking, it's what they're thinking." I looked over to him and sighed. I didn't know what to do and I didn't think that now was the best time to ask him about what to do this weekend. I was thinking over all of the different situations and outcomes that were possible. No matter how I would decide to talk to him about it he would still freak out. I would understand where he was coming from because he just cared about his daughter and didn't want to see her get hurt. But fathers aren't supposed to protect their daughters forever. We were going to have to let her grow up eventually and while I thought about it I just decided to come right out with it. "So I was thinking that we could go away for the weekend."

"Who?"

"Us and Alice and Jasper and Rosalie and Emmett, I think that it would be fun," I said trying to sound enthusiastic about it hoping that he wouldn't even question me. But if he didn't then he would be the Edward that I knew.

"What about Nessie," he asked taking his arm off of his face and looking at me. I was perched up on my side looking at him intently.

"I think that she would love to have the house to herself."

"Why," he asked even though he probably already knew exactly what I was getting at. I just didn't want to tell him out loud, I wanted him to say it.

"I really don't want to tell you."

"Why?"

"Because I already promised her that we would all get out of the house this weekend."

"So that Ross could come over?" His face didn't change at all and neither did his eyes. I thought that at least his eyes would be pissed off but he just looked like he was frustrated.

"Kind of," I said kind of ashamed with myself. "I just want her to feel comfortable and I know that if all of us are home then she won't feel comfortable."

"So you want me to leave our daughter home alone with some hormonal teenage boy."

"No. Carlisle and Esme will be home. I think that they are the best members of this family for Ross to meet first. They won't hover like we would or make fun of them like Emmett would and Alice wouldn't be taking his measurements. I just want both of them to feel comfortable, like I said. Please Edward, she wouldn't do anything that you and I wouldn't do when we first started dating."

"And we were married less then 2 years later."

"And we are perfectly fine aren't we?"

"Yeah but…she's my daughter."

"I know and we have to let her grow up."

"But I don't want her to get hurt."

"Well lucky for us if Ross hurts her then he will have to deal with this entire family and that's down right scary." I chuckled a little bit but his expression didn't change at all. "She's going to have to learn from mistakes if this is one. Let her make her own decisions. Besides we don't even know what's going to happen with this."

"I know but…"

"But nothing. We are all getting out of the house this weekend so that she can have Ross over."

"I still don't feel comfortable with this."

"Esme and Carlisle will be home all weekend so there is nothing to worry about. They are working on Spanish, how romantic can that be?"

"Very."

"Well from what I understand he doesn't get any of it so it's not like he is going to serenade her in Spanish."

"Fine."

I looked at him and his arm went back over his eyes. Great, I got to deal with pissy Edward all night. That was going to be loads of fun. I got up and he touched my arm.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Absolutely positive. Now relax."

"Where are you going?"

"I have to talk to Carlisle and Esme."

"Will you back soon?"

"Of course."

"I just miss you."

I looked at him and sighed jumping back onto the bed and giving him a kiss on the forehead. "I will be right back, I promise."

I looked at him and saw him smile before I walked out of the room. When I was at the end of the hall, I booked it down the stairs and into the basement. I wanted to tell Renesmee that everything was set but when I saw her sleeping I decided that it could wait until morning. On my way back up to my room I spoke to Esme and she said that she would be fine sitting at home this weekend, maybe doing some yard work. The yard was already starting to become out of control and soon the leaves would be changing.

Renesmee's Point of View

Nothing was really special this morning. I didn't have anyone bouncing up and down on my bed having my cloths laid out on the bed for me to wear. It actually made me a little sad to not have any help this morning but I knew that I would be able to do it on my own. I took a shower and left my hair down to dry before getting dressed in a pair of skinny jeans with a white t-shirt and a black vest covering it, matching it with a pair of black boots. Only 2 inch heels today. I looked at myself and realized that this was as good as it was going to get. While I was putting my books into my messenger bag, my mom came down the stairs.

"Have you changed your mind," I asked her.

"No but I did talk to your dad about it last night."

"Great," I said slamming my last book into my bag. "Now Ross is never going to be able to come over here."

"Honey your dad said it was fine."

"Really?" That really wasn't what I had expected him to say. I didn't think that my dad gave in that easily but I guess whatever my mother wanted she got.

"Yes but if Ross hurts you in any way he will have to deal with the entire family."

"I already knew that." A smile was creeping across my face as I just realized what might be able to happen this weekend and I was excited to get to school again. I really must be going insane. When I walked up the stairs everybody was already waiting outside in the cars. Ann took off down the driveway and Jasper sped off after her. A race, I wanted to do that. Racing cars, I thought, would be a lot of fun. Another idea for the family to do and it was something that we would all enjoy doing. Emmett took his time getting to school and when we showed up Ann was dancing around her car and taunting Jasper.

"I didn't want to crack up Edward's car," he yelled at her. Uncle Jasper being furious was something that I had never seen before and I thought that it was absolutely hilarious. Alex grabbed onto Ann and lifted her over his shoulder.

"Put me down," she yelled hitting his back with her fists.

"Are you going to stop," he asked trying to look at her face. "It's not good to be a sore winner. Nobody is ever going to want to challenge you in anything."

"What can I say, I'm competitive and Jasper drives like a grandma."

"No he drives like a human. Now would you stop, you've been gloating for 5 minutes now."

"Fine," she said and Alex slowly put her down on the ground in front of him and grabbed her shoulders. She stuck her tongue out at him and pouted.

"I love you too," he said kissing her forehead. I smiled at them and everybody around me. I did have to admit that I felt a little bit out of place. I had noticed it before but not until now did it hold the meaning that it did now. I was lonely and I didn't want to admit it. Everybody had somebody and I was the odd-man out. They all tried to include me in things but there was part of me that couldn't get over the fact that they were all in pairs and I was the odd one out. It made a little depressed coming to this realization and it made gym class not as enjoyable as it had been the past few days. I just mopped around not wanting to do anything or talk to anybody. The only thing that I was looking forward to was standing at my locker and waiting for Ross to join me.

I waited for him to show up and he came a little bit later than yesterday. But seeing him instantly sent chills through my body and the butterflies were floundering around in my stomach.

"Hey, are you alright," he asked. Apparently he was very observant too.

"Yeah I guess."

"What's wrong?"

"Just some family issues."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

Yes. "No, I'll be okay, just one of those days I guess."

"Your hair looks nice today."

"Thanks," I said subconsciously touching the back of my head. "It's all natural today."

"Maybe that's why I like it." I smiled at him and he brushed my arm. I felt a burning sensation on my bare arm where our arms connected. But he apparently didn't freak out at the temperature of my arm.

"Thanks. So do you think that you will need help with your homework this weekend," I asked him. I guess that was the only way to get it out into the open and if I was going to be denied I would rather it would be now. "My family is going camping and my mom and dad are going to be the only ones home so the house will be very quiet."

"Are you sure that you don't want that opportunity to have the peace and quiet to yourself?"

"I get it when I go for walks and stuff. Besides I don't want you failing this class because of me."

"I guess that would be cool."

I smiled at myself.

"Saturday it is then."

"Okay."

We walked in silence to class and snuck peeks at each other all through class. Today I sat with him again and Alice came up a little bit earlier this time so that she could actually talk to him.

"Hi Alice," he said looking away from me for a moment. He remembered her name, which was quite impressive. I wouldn't be able to tell you many people's names here. I just wasn't very good with remembering names.

"How was your lunch," she asked giggling to herself.

"Better than yesterdays."

"Yeah," Ross said. "I should have warned you about how gross the pepperoni was but I figured that I should let you learn for yourself." I put my hands on my hips and made a sad face at him. "You are so cute when you do that." I instantly blushed. Damn my mother, again. "That look will get you anything."

"I wish," I said quietly under my breath so that I could only hear it, although Alice probably did too.

"We should get to class," Alice said touching my shoulder. "I'll talk to you later Ross."

"Bye Alice."

She skipped off to the door and waited for me.

"I guess that I should go," I said getting up from the table. He got up with me and took my tray and I walked with him over to the trash. "Thanks."

"No problem."

"So…"

"I'll meet you at your locker after school so I can walk you to the parking lot again."

"Alright."

"Because I can't hug you here. Your family seems like they are trying to burn a hole through me."

"Like I said they are a little over protective."

He leaned down and whispered into my ear. "Then it's probably a good thing they won't be home this weekend." His breath was hot on my ear and his lips seemed to linger there a little too long. When he pulled away, I put my hand to his shoulder and walked over to where Alice was waiting for me. She put her arm around me and smiled.

"What," I asked her.

"I can't see Ross' future anymore."

"What," I yelled. "Why?"

"Because I think that he finally made a decision."

She smiled at me and we walked to our class.

A/N: Let me know if you still want me to talk this much about Ross and Nessie.
