I do not own Twilight (although I wish I did)

We were in the car and almost home. I couldn't wait to see my daughter. There was a welcoming home party for us when we pulled into the driveway. I didn't wait for the car to stop. I flew the passenger side door open and ran towards my daughter.

"Mom!" she yelled as I swooped her up into my arms, "I missed you so much! How did you shopping trip go?" I set her down.

"Great, we found everything we were looking for. Oh Renesmee, you are going to love your wedding."

"Can I see everything?"

"No, sorry sweetie, but Alice wants to run this her way."

"Aw, this is no fair, so Jake and I are going to be the ones who don't know what our wedding's going to look like?"

"Actually, Jake knows too."

"What?!"

"Sorry, he's the Alpha and has to tell his pack and other packs what's happening and no matter how hard you try he won't tell you."

"I'll get him to tell me."

"Believe me, if he enjoys living then he won't tell you."

"Ugh, this is so unfair." She knew she lost this argument and went off to talk to Jake, more like yell at him, almost like a married couple. Next to come and hug me was Esme.

"Oh, I'm so glad you guys are home and safe," She kissed Edward too, who was standing next to me, our hands intertwined, "It seems like it's been forever since you guys left."

"I know we've missed you guys too" I said, looking from her eyes to Edward's. Carlisle was next in line of my family members.

"Did you have fun?" he asked.

"Yeah, Paris was great. I hope we can go back sometime. We got the shopping that we wanted done and it was an all around amazing time."

"Well, I'm glad you guys had fun." he said and went to hug Alice. Next were Rosalie and Emmett. We got a hug from each of them, although Emmett's hug felt more like the strongest hug he could give and he did it on purpose. Then, there was no one else to hug, since Jasper seemed to be with Alice, so Edward and I went into the house. It felt good to finally be home, everything here smelled perfect, just the way it should. We could hear Renesmee screaming at Jake when we walked in.

"How could you Jake? Whose side are you on?" she yelled.

"Alright children, break it up." Edward said playfully. Renesmee glared at him.

"C'mon Ness, it's my job. I love you." Jake said sincerely. Jake really loved her and that's all that mattered to her. She cooled down a bit.

"I love you too." she whispered as she hugged him, "You don't know what the dresses and tuxedos look like thought, right?"

"No, of course not. I'll be just as surprised as you will be, well maybe a little less, because I know where it is…" he stopped. Renesmee was getting angry, "but I promise you'll look beautiful. You always do." That sentence would have made what he said have a lot more meaning if it wasn't there. Not that I didn't agree, just that when he said it, it sounded wrong. I would have to get used to it, they were going to be married and living in our cottage.

"So, Jake, did your pack see any action while we were gone?" It was Edward who broke the silence.

"No, actually, not really, we have a new member from the town, but that's it."

"Babe, who is it?" Renesmee asked.

"Her name's Hannah, she's Quil's sister."

"You never mentioned Quil having a sister."

"I know, well I didn't think it was relevant at the time."

"Poor girl." I thought out loud.

"She actually thinks it's awesome and Leah's happy there's another girl in the pack, they get along great."

"Has she fought?" I asked

"No, but I have a feeling that when she does she'll get a taste of reality." he commented sourly.

"Are we going to see her sometime?" Renesmee asked.

"Aw Ness, don't tell me you're jealous." Jake complained. Renesmee blushed, "Renesmee Cullen, I will never love anyone more than the way I love you." The way he said my daughter's name even made my heart melt. Their embrace was adorable when you set aside the fact that it was Renesmee, but I could get used to it.

"Bella, why don't we leave these two alone?" Edward whispered in my ear.

"Sure, why not?" I said as he dragged me out of the house. When we got outside everyone was gone. Our whole welcoming home party had vanished. So, we decided to run around in the woods and get some fighting practice in. We kept running until we got to our meadow. This was my favorite place to be, as my human memories reminded me. I turned around and Edward was there.

"I really don't want to do this, but you have to know and I couldn't bear to see you fight anyone else. Do you promise to tell me if I hurt you?" he said almost in a whisper.

"Yes and same for you." I answered.

"Ok, first we'll work on defense. I will attack and you will come up with various ways to protect yourself, clear?"

"Crystal"

"Ok then, let's begin." He was gone, to the far end of the meadow. There was a complicated look on his face, like he didn't know what to do. Then, he was gone, to where, I didn't know. He was behind me, I lunged at him, but he was faster. I could feel his lips on my throat as he whispered, "You think too much about it, love. Just leave it to your senses. You could even fight with your eyes closed if you have to." So, I closed my eyes and just listened. I could hear where he was. He made a lunge for me and I moved out of the way. I heard him try again, so I moved and took this opportunity to take offense and lunge at him. I found his throat and pinned him to the ground. I opened me eyes and whispered in his ear.

"Gotcha!" I smiled as we both got up off the ground. I hugged him; he looked a little startled, "I'm sorry did I hurt you?"

"No, no, I'm fine." he insisted. We started to run back home, but he was slower than usual and he looked like he was limping. I stopped and so did he.

"I really did hurt you, didn't I?" I asked.

"No, it's nothing I feel fine."

"C'mon we're taking you to go see Carlisle." I motioned for him to get up on my back. He didn't argue. When he did, his weight felt nothing on me. When we got back everyone knew there was something wrong. Why else would I carry Edward home, when he can obviously walk? I went up into Carlisle's study. Carlisle got out of his chair.

"What's wrong?" he looked worried as I set Edward on the ground. It was Edward who answered.

"It's my leg, Carlisle. I think it's broken." He winced as he put weight on it.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Bella and I were practicing fighting in the meadow. She's pretty good, so I tried attacking her, but she pinned me to the ground in a really awkward position and my leg snapped."

"She must be pretty strong to make vampire bones break. Lay down on this table Edward and I'll look at your leg." Edward jumped onto the table like he was told. I went and sat by his side.

"I'm so sorry." I told him. I took his hand and kissed it. Carlisle explained that the leg wasn't healing back correctly. He re-broke it and Edward screamed. I felt so bad I couldn't stand it. I covered up my face for the rest of the time while Carlisle put a cast on him. I couldn't look at him when he got off the table, I was too ashamed. I felt his warm hands take mine off my face. He lifted me up and cradled me like a baby.

"See all better," he said to me, "What's wrong?"

"I hurt you; I can't live with that now, to know that I've hurt you."

"If you remember back to your human life I have hurt you or you have been hurt because of what I am." Well, there was James, my birthday party, the newborns, Isle Esme and the Volturi. I guess he was right he had to go through this more times than I have.

"I love you." I managed to say to him.

"I love you too." Together we walked downstairs; Edward had to sit on the couch with his leg up for an hour before it would heal, so I sat next to him. Emmett walked through the door; he cracked up when he saw Edward's leg. I knew he was attempting to hold back a sexual comment. I gave him credit for that.

"What…happened…Edward?" Emmett managed to say between laughs.

"Bella and I were fighting and she broke my leg." he replied. Emmett looked really surprised.

"Whoa, Bella! I didn't know you had the ability to fight someone. Did you get in a few good swipes in for your older brother?" he teased. I crossed my arms over my chest and pouted.

"Emmett," Edward pleaded, "please she's feeling bad enough."

"Well, in that case." He got in my face, "I'll bug you all I want." I was so angry. I took a swipe at his nose, "Ow Bella that hurt!" He looked appalled. It worked, he walked out of the room and left me alone, probably to go complain to Rosalie about his nose. I wanted to laugh, but I knew it was wrong, so I curled up into Edward's chest and hid my face from view. Edward wrapped his arms around me like a human being would and we sat there for the hour until Edward had to go to Carlisle to get his cast off.

A/N: I'm sorry this chapter is a little short. I just haven't felt motivated enough to finish this story and I don't feel like anyone wants me to. I'm not going to post the next chapter until I get at least 10 reviews.
