Author's note - Ending to the last chapter wasn't very clear if your mind doesn't live in the gutter like mine... i'd change it but i'm kinda lazy so just throwing it out there
"Come on, love, Byron will be up soon," Bella said through a giggle as Edward nuzzled her neck. "He can't see us like this."
Edward sighed, "You're right, love, come on."
They got ready to take Byron back to his parents.
Byron woke up and walked out of his room still somewhat drearily. "Good morning gramma and grampa," Byron said through a yawn. "What do you guys do since you don't need sleep?"
If Bella could still blush, she would have, but Edward saved her by embarrassment by saying, "We... Exercise." Edward turned to Bella and winked.
"But vampires don't need to exercise..." Byron said, still drowsily.
"We don't need it but its fun," Edward said, "Really fun."
"So how do you guys exercise?" Byron asked, "I mean, I've never seen any exercise equipment here..."
Edward said with a grin, "Well, I like to do push ups, and you grandmother li-"
"I'm pretty sure Byron doesn't need to know our exercise routine, Dear," Bella said looking critically at Edward, though the effect was slightly ruined by suppressing her laughter. "God, you are worse than Emmett," She added quietly enough that only Edward would hear.
Edward just grinned and said, "Come on big guy, lets getchya home."
Edward picked up Byron and started running with Bella quickly following him and they didn't stop until they reached Jacob and Renesmee's house on the Quileute reservation.
Renesmee and Jacob were outside waiting for Byron. "Hey kiddo, why don't you grab your backpack and get ready for school. Only get one last day of fifth grade... We just need to talk with your grandparents about something really quick and I'll drive you to school..." Jacob said in carefully measured tones.
Byron was immediately suspicious, and nodded. He went inside the house, and went down into the cellar so he could enter the crawlspace under the front porch that everyone was standing on and eavesdrop. He had missed the first part of the conversation, but could easily guess what it was about from where he picked up again.
"We don't like the fact that every time he is upset about anything, you just open your arms and say 'come here, its okay, you can come back here whenever you want, feel free.' it under mines our authority, and it sends him mixed signals," Renesmee said. "Look, you can still let him stay over if he wants to if you will let him, but if its because we were disciplining him then you need to discipline him as well."
"We don't discipline him because we can get through to him in a way that you can't," Bella replied somewhat heatedly, "and if you knew your son better we wouldn't need to be letting him use our house as a haven."
"You know what? I think you are being hypocritical... You know that?" Renesmee said. "You feel bad for keeping such a tight leash on me, and hate how I kept on being more and more defiant and you just don't want to see my son end up like me, but he is my child and not yours."
"You have no right to speak to your parents like that," Edward said calmly. "You are just upset because you feel like we are showing more of an interest in Byron than we have shown in you... That is an unfair conclusion seeing as how you were always running off with this mutt." Edward finished with a gesture towards Jacob.
There was a sharp smack that Byron guessed was his mother slapping his grandfather. 'I have to get out of here' Byron thought, 'But where should I go?'
