Chapter 2: Arrival

Nessie's POV

I bundled up my son ahead of time. Jacob thinks I went a little overboard but I didn't care. I heard that it was going to be cold over there and I did not want him to get sick. Yes, he had vampire in him and there was a chance that he would never get sick but that wasn't a risk that I was willing to take. Yes I was the extremely overprotective type.

Jacob came down with the remainder of our bags just as my father was arriving. We ran out to the car to meet them.

It was strange to look at my dad, at both of my parents actually, and physically be the same age as both of them. In reality I'm only nine years old. Even though I was married and had a kid of my own I was a total daddy's girl. I always would be and he knew that.

As soon as my mother saw us she insisted on holding my son. In the month since he's been born my mother has already given him like 100 gifts. Actually, the gift giving started before he was born.

Two words: Baby Shower.

Aunt Alice would never pass up the chance to throw a party and a baby was the perfect opportunity for that. She invited just about every single woman that she knew. Which is, well, a lot. Way too many for even me to count. Needless to say my son got a lot of gifts that day. My mother though, took it to extremes and got him the most out of everyone.

I tried, unsuccessfully, to get my mother to return most of the gifts but she wouldn't hear it. I was never a big fan of gifts. I didn't want people to spend money on me. My dad says it's a trait I inherited from my mother. Sometimes I find that hard to believe.

"Mom can I have Aidan back? I think I should buckle him in the car seat" I said.

"No, let me do it" she begged.

"Okay fine" It was pointless to argue against my mother. She always won. Not even my father stood a chance against her. He never did.

My dad laughed.

"What's so funny?" mom asked him.

"Oh nothing. Just Nessie's thoughts. That's all"

Mom gave me a questioning look but I just shrugged. We finished loading the car with all of our luggage and then we were on our way.

We were going to meet everyone at the airport. We had already arranged for our cars to be shipped to National City. Hey I owned a brand new Mercedes. I was not about to give it away so quickly!

My grandparents, aunts and uncles were waiting for us when we got to the airport. We went through security rather quickly. That was a true blessing. I hated airport security with a passion. I understand it's meant to prevent another 9/11 situation from happening again but it's still really inconvenient.

I fell asleep on the airplane. I didn't wake up until we started to land. Thankfully I had thought ahead of time to pump my milk so that Aidan would have food on the plane.

We had already arranged our rides home ahead of time so that was already taken care of. The house was further out from the main part of the city where there would be less humans around. The house looked a lot like the one we used to have back when we lived in Forks. I missed Forks. I had lived their for the first four years of my life before we were forced to move to Chicago. Thanks to a some humans and their crazy wild imaginations we had no choice but to move earlier then we normally would've.

We decided on a brand new place this time. National City.

We set everything up in record time and I was itching to head out into the city. Jacob was so exhausted that he basically passed out on the couch.

The rest of my family had an urgent need to go hunting. Being forced to be around humans for so many hours didn't exactly do wonders for their thirst.

So I had no choice but to take my son with me if I wanted to go out. I made sure that he was nice and bundled up still. He was.

I ran at an inhuman pace until I reached the city. There was definitely a lot of people in this city. I happened to see a newspaper and on the front of it was a young woman wearing a cape and what looked like a giant S on it.

I shook my head. Pure lunacy in my opinion. Why would anyone dress like that? Aunt Alice would have a fit for sure.

I heard a text come in. It was Jacob asking me where I was. As I was texting him back I tripped but someone caught me just in time.

When I saw the person that caught me I nearly died of shock right then and there.

"Are you okay ma'am?" he asked me.

I looked at him. There was no way that this could be possible.

"Ma'am are you okay?" he asked me again.

Oh god his voice even sounded exactly the same!

"Yy-ess" I stuttered. "Wh-ho are yyou?"

"I'm Maxwell Lord but you can just call me Max. Might I say that your are an extremely beautiful woman-"

"Renesmee Cullen. Most people just call me Nessie"

"Oh Cullen? Your father must be Carlisle then, right? I've never met him but I hear he is an excellent Doctor. He's going to work at one of the hospitals I own"

Grandpa Carlisle would certainly be in for the shock of a lifetime.
