All characters are not created by me but the amazing Stephenine Meyer. I only made the story line :)

Chapter One - Girls Only

I sat on Alice's bed as she rushed around the room like a cartoon character. Rosalie,Alice and my Mom, Bella were kidnapping me for the weekend on a 'Girls Only' trip. This usually involved lots of shopping with my Mom getting annoyed which led to us coming home early, it worked this way all then time. Alice was like a machine the way she powered through her wardrobe every now and again Rosalie would pop in with a pair of shoes or new handbag to pack, we were going for three days and Rosalie insisted on taking twenty-two pairs of shoes.

"Oooo red stilletos, defo not anywhere rocky or snowy." I laughed poking at the seven inch stillettos sitting on the top of one of the cases.

"Stop guessing Nessie you will have fun no matter where we go." Rosalie laughed hitting me on the back on my head with another handbag. So it wasn't just an Emmett thing then.

"Ouch! That hurt Aunt Rosie, save it for Uncle Em." I giggled back pulling my bottom lip down and rubbing the back of my head. The six cases on the bed were full already and only accessories had been packed...

"This isn't all going to fit, I think we should just pack an overnight bag and go shopping when we get there." Alice sighed staring at the heap of clothes left to pack and the already overflowing suitcases.

"So somewhere where there are decent shops?" I mused and dodged another swipe from Rosalie, we all giggled. Alice dissappeared back into her wardrobe and reappread two moments later clutching three small weekend bags, Rose looked at it with disgust.

"Just the basics, we will shop when we get there." Alice laughed. I noticed there were only three.

"Alice there are only three bags here, there are four of us going." I said confused and Alice sighed.

"Your mother is coming to ask you whether she can stay here, she doesn't want to do the shopping scene." Alice sighed and grimaced. Sure enough my mother knocked on the door then, I was sure she heard our conversation.

"I thought I felt my ears burning Alice Cullen!" she said loudly as she walked into the room. Alice gave her a sheepish smile and I sighed.

"Nessie, you pretty much know what I am getting at but would you come for a walk with me please?" she asked smiling at me.

"Sure thing Mom." I said jumping off the bed and pulling her from the room. A minute later we were walking around a lake not far from the house. It was quiet and peaceful, I don't think many people knew about it.

"So Nessie, you know why I want to talk to you." Mom said quietly.

"It's fine Mom you can stay, you don't like shopping and I do, plus you'd miss dad." I shrugged, it really didn't bother me, in fact I was thrilled because I wanted to go to Victoria Secret...

"And you wouldn't miss Jacob?" she teased playing with a lock of my hair. I sighed as I thought about it, every since Jake and I had expressed our love we had been inseperable. She had me there.

"Sure, but it's shopping, and I want to look at wedding stuff..." I started

"In that case I am coming." she announced. Mom felt that even though she hated shopping and big parties she had to have an input because she was my Mother, I didn't want her to be uncomfortable so I usually planned my wedding with Rose and Alice.

"Mom, i'm not on about dresses i'm kind of, you know...on about somthing else." I said blushing and staring at my feet, she instantly got what I meant at this she laughed. My Mom was too perceptive.

"Oh and you don't want your Mom there." she laughed.

"Not really, it's embarressing enough with my Aunties looking for underwear." I laughed

"Thats actually why your father really wants me to go, he's scared you'll come back with loads of slutty lingerie, he still thinks of you as his little girl." she said softly placing a lock of loose hair behind my ears. Man, my father could be a pain in the butt somtimes, I was eighteen NOT eight.

"I know" I moaned chucking my head back and sighing in exasperation. "Mom, I think you should stay."

"Ok me and your father haven't actually spent any time alone in a while..." she started

"Eww Mom no, it's weird talking to you about sex." I said disgusted and embarressed. This was not the conversation I wanted to have with her. Responsibility yadda yadda yadda...

"Sweety, you may still me able to get pregnant, we haven't actually had the sex talk. Anyway me and your father don't have to be intimate to spend time alone" she giggled embarressed as well I assumed.

"Mom, my body has stopped changing, I am stuck like this like you forever." I said softly, it was quiet for a few moment.

I decided it was time to change the topic.

"I'm going to spend some time with Billy after the trip." I said

"Thats nice, Billy is a really nice guy, he was Charlie's best friend." she said quietly he broke broke at 'Charlie', way to go Renesmee! Make your mother upset again, i'd rather sit through the sex talk. Right change the subject again.

"Umm, so do you have any idea where they are taking me?" I asked laughing softly

"Not a clue darling, but I am sure you will have alot of fun wherever you go. Right so I do think that we should have that talk now Nessie." she replied sitting on a bench and patting the seat next to her. I sighed and grimaced but then I thought about my father giving me the talk instead and surrendered straight away.

"Right lets get this over with, I know about it Mom I don't think it's changed that much since you gave me the books six years ago." I said hoping to get this over and done with.

"But you and Jacob were never intimate before, and you are now or will become." she smiled a weak smile at me and I exhaled. My hands balled into fist and I could feel the blood rushing to mhy cheeks.

"Mom, I get it now can we please get back to the house, I kind of want to get going." I said standing up and Mom mimicked me.

"Yes, I suppose you are right, lets get home." she said taking my hand. I was glad she had given up on trying to give me the talk. As we ran through the forests I picked up the scent of my Jacob and set off in that direction, I needed to see him. Being away from him for the next three days will be hard. As I came through the large trees he sat on the grass arms open waiting for me and without a second thought I ran staright into the arms of my strong protector.
