Hearing her father's voice brought Renesmee back to reality, severely embarrassing her. In her excitement and joy, she had forgotten her father's ability to read thoughts. This was time she wished she were her mother, who was the one person who was immune to her father's gift.
Crap, she thought, hoping her heard.
"Sorry," she muttered as she and Jacob moved back towards the family.
Being the youngest in the family had it's perks, but then again there were the drawbacks. She knew that they would be watching her like a hawk for a while, so alone time with Jacob would be sparse and hard to come by. While she understood their want to spend time with her, she also wanted to just be alone with Jacob.
Just to spite her dad, she began to sing a Japanese pop song in her head, knowing that it would drive him insane, a little trick she picked up from her beloved Aunt Alice. Renesmee loved her father dearly and their relationship was strong. However, sometimes they just liked to irritate each other. Her mother had put up with it for the last thirty years with the utmost patience, which should have made her a saint by any rights.
Again, while thinking of the pop song so her father could not hear her thoughts, she tried to make plans with Jacob.
"Meet me on the back porch in one hour. I'll excuse myself to go fix something, then you follow ten minutes later," she whispered.

Uh oh. Am I late? Edward, Bella, Renesmee! She ran inside. Renesmee! How much you've grown! And Bella, you look the same as you did when I last saw you!

Edward heard Nessie start singing in her head and knew that she was trying to block him. He laughed at her, I know what she wants, I was like her after being away from Bella for any length of time. He would let her think that she was fooling him. He smiled at her with his loving father smile. "Okay, Nessie, you can stop singing in Japanese now." He said to her just as Esme enter the house.
Esme was still upset over him leaving. "Yes mom I am listening and I promise I won't leave again for so long." He said to her as he reached out to hug her. He had actually missed he mom very much. He wanted to give her something, so as he put her down he moved out of the kitchen. He went to the piano and started playing her favorite song. He followed it with Bella's lullaby.

Rose was overjoyed that Emmett was happy and proud of her. When he kissed her, she forgot about the others, until Bella spoke to Em. She was trying to not be self-centered that meant that she had to leave Emmett alone until later. She heard Esme come though the door and laughed as she scolded Ed. Rose watched as Ed moved to the piano. As the music filled the house she was overwhelmed. She could play but not like Edward could. The music that he played was like heaven. She took Emmett's hand and pulled him the the living room floor where they started dancing. "That is beautiful Edward, we have missed your playing." She said to her brother.

Renesmee's train of thought was interrupted by two things; the first being her father telling her she could stop singing in Japanese and the second, more important of the two was Esme, her mami Esme walking into the house. Eagerly, she let go of Jacob and ran to greet her.
"Oh, mami! I have missed you so much!" She hugged Esme tightly after her father was finished.
It was then she noticed her father going towards the piano. Nearly months had passed since she last heard him play, but this was a happy occasion so he played. Both of the songs she easily recognized as Esme's favorite and her mother's lullaby. No one else knew it, but he had also composed a lullaby for her when she was young. A father/daughter song meant to put her to sleep at night when she could not fall asleep on her own. Not even her mother knew about it. She kept it safe on her music player and listened to it almost every night, although she preferred it when her father played it live.
As she listened to her father play the piano, she returned to Jacob's side and just was content to be in that moment with her family. The only one missing now was Carlisle, whom she was sure would make his appearance in due time. After all, he was a doctor saving lives at the hospital.
Listening to her father play, Renesmee's heartstrings were slightly pulling. She missed playing herself. It had been almost a year since she last played and now that she was happy again, inspiration was tugging at her heart. Her father had taught her to play the piano when she was just over a year old, although she looked physically around the age of six. Those memories were happy; of sitting on the piano bench, watching her father play the melodies and repeating them while he watched on proudly. That was just before they moved to London.
I love you daddy, she thought.

Edward had heard Nessie say that she loved him and he respond. "I love you to Nessie, why don't you come sit be me and we can play together. He said to her. He loved to play the duet that he wrote for them to play together and since he wrote is in London the others hadn't heard it yet. He was almost finished with Bella's lullaby.

Emmett laughed on Rosalie's expression. He knew that she wasn't trying to be self-centered and all. He heard Esme, making him smile even more. Okay, only Esme is here. Where is Carlisle? He thought as Rosalie took his hand and led him to the living room where Edward was playing the piano and danced with Rosalie. "Edward, everyone is happy that you're back home." He said as he twirled Rosalie.

You will never leave again Edward but I still love you. Thank you for playing my favorite song. Bella, I have something for you. I am sorry I spent money on you but 30 years is a long time. You must have changed a little! Esme held out her hand, the hand that was holding the diamond necklace. This necklace looks beautiful Bella Esme said as she put it on her. She laughed as she watched Bella's expression. It is okay Bella, I didn't get you anything else but I am pretty sure the others did. Edward, I am sorry I didn't get you anything. But I know, my love is always enough for you. and my lovely gand-daughter Ness- I mean Renesmee. You will never need anything to help you look as beautiful as you do now. Esme went over to Renesmee and hugged her once more.

Kate watched the family reuniting happily before she really joined in. "Okay, I've scene enough of everyone else hugging, don't I get anything?" She said jokingly as she held her arms wide open for someone to come into. She tried to keep a straight face, but she couldn't, thirty years was a long time, even for a vampire, to not see loved ones.

Renesmee heard her father invite her to come play and she gladly went to sit next to him at the piano bench. Once he finished her mother's lullaby, he bridged into the duet that they had wrote together. Playing the piano for her family was something that brought Renesmee great joy. She loved playing music, especially the pieces that she wrote or that her father wrote. Secretly, over the last year, she had been writing a song for Jacob as well that she wanted to play for him privately at some point.
As they played, she watched her family. Emmett and Rosalie were dancing in the middle of the floor. Jacob was just watching her play. She knew that he was thinking something just because it was Jacob and she knew him better than that.
Once they stopped, she placed her hand on the side of her father's face and gave him a memory. One when she was young and learning to play the piano, a very tender moment between the two of them as father and daughter. She had just began to learn and was a little frustrated and he had taken her by the hand, kissing her forehead softly and encouraging her softly to try again.
When the memory was over, she hugged her father. "Thank you daddy."

Bella looked at the necklace Esme had given her. It was absolutely beautiful. While she did not really like receiving expensive gifts, she could tell that Esme put a lot of thought into the gift.
"Thank you Esme," she said, hugging her adoptive mother.
She then turned her attention to her husband and daughter playing their piano duet. The two of them shared a love of music that Bella could not help but admire. For years, they had wrote music separately and together. Their duet was one they had written when Renesmee was very young. Bella was proud of their accomplishments together.
Over the years she had come to love piano, starting when Edward wrote her lullaby so many years ago. And now it was a full-love of the music itself. Edward had exposed her to so many kinds of music over the years that she appreciated so many more types of music than she did in her human life.
As their duet ended, she saw a touching scene of Renesmee giving Edward a memory, as was her special talent, and their hug afterward. This was her family and she was totally in love with it.

Edward looked it when Nessie used her gift to show him things. After they finished playing together and she showed him that scene from long ago, he hugged her. "Your welcome, my daughter." He said to her. He looked at Bella and smiled that crooked smile that he loved so much. He reached for her hand as he stood from the piano. "I am so glad that we are home with our family, my love." He said as he leaned in to kiss her.

As Edward got up from the piano, he flashed the same crooked smile Bella fell in love with so many years ago. Set against his golden eyes, she could not refuse him.
"I am so glad that we are home with our family, my love," he said.
With that, he leaned in and kissed her. It was their first kiss since coming home to Forks and it felt right. Bella's mind flashed back to the very first time Edward ever kissed her, while she was still human. Back then, he had held back so much because she was so fragile. But now she was not as breakable, so he did not hold back anything. Sometimes it almost felt indecent how passionately they kissed, but everyone around them was family, so it did not matter.
Upon their kiss ending, Bella noticed that Renesmee was immediately back at Jacob's side.
Those two are as inseparable as Edward and I, she laughed silently.

Jacob just stood back out of the way when Edward and Nessie played piano, He mind was running through his past trying to figure out what he could tell her about his past thirty with out her by his side. But he did did not want to tell her any of his sad memories of feeling alone after his father died and Charlie, when they both died he felt like he was loosing his past and Renesmee was slipping away form him.. Jacob quickly shook his head clearing his mind If Edward was paying attention he would knew what he was thinking about. Jacob did not want Edward to hear. The new person entering the room distracted him mind and so did Renesmee returning to his Side "Ness, That was wonderful" Jacob said softly.

Edward could hardly control himself when Bella allowed him to see her thoughts. He saw their first kiss and he was lost in his memory of the time. Edward was used to not being able to hear Bella's thoughts but on those rare occasions that she let him hear, it always over powered every thing else. He kissed her harder. Knowing that they were not alone but not caring. As the kiss ended, she was laughing to herself. "What is it that you find so funny, my love?"
Edward knew that he was going to have to talk to Jake soon, but he didn't want to do it tonight. Tonight he wanted to be with his family. He did however want Jake to stay here, other than the pack there wasn't anything to hold Jake to the reservation any more. "Jake, would you be terrible adverse to staying her at the mansion for a while? You could stay in the stare room on the third floor. I know that you really don't have any family left at the reservation and we are your family too. At least I hope that after all these years you think of us as family." Edward said to Jake. He knew that this would make Nessie happy as well.
