A/N: We are back in Forks! I hope you all enjoyed the holiday chapters.

Chapter 38: Home is Wherever I’m With You

Renesmee POV:

We came back home by the crack of dawn and I felt eternally grateful that we took the plane back instead of driving.  I just don't think I could deal with Chloë’s potty breaks every thirty minutes and tending to a small baby inside of a car. As promised, our cars were parked in the driveway and we didn't waste any time on hitting the snooze button. I swear we didn't get out of bed until ten, and for our family, that's a pretty late morning. Of course, Aria was the the first one to wake up for a feeding and after we were done with that I put her in her baby swing for her morning nap while I started up breakfast.

It would be a pretty big feast since Jake’s family would be joining us around eleven. As soon as I got the French toast casserole in the oven, I would get Jake and the kids up to get ready.  Today I would be making the French toast casserole, fluffy buttermilk pancakes, plenty of bacon, fruit salad, and eggs Benedict. I'd probably stick to the bacon and eggs Benedict but Paul and Jacob loved to eat and I wanted everyone to have plenty of options.

I never knew how much I missed our family here until we came back. I couldn't wait to sit around the big table and talk about the holidays with them. After I put the casserole in the oven I washed my hands and went into our bedroom to wake up Jake. He yawned a little bit and did that cute pout I see our son often doing when he wakes up. I couldn't resist giving him a quick peck and was happy that it earned me his sweet smile.

“Morning.” he pulled me into his chest for squeeze.

“Can you get the kids ready? I'm cooking a lot for breakfast.” I showered his neck and cheeks with kisses.

He gave me a quick nod and sat up, messing with his bed hair, “No biggie.”

I gave him one more squeeze for good measure and quickly headed back into the kitchen. I quickly put the Canadian bacon over a skillet to fry it and boiled some water so I can poach the eggs whenever i felt ready. I wanted to get the fruit salad out of the way so I chopped up some honeydew, strawberries, and melons and threw it into a bowl with Greek yogurt and blueberries. After a quick stir I put it in the fridge and flipped the bacon over. Gordon Ramsey would be so proud with how fast I am in the kitchen. The hollandaise sauce was pretty simple to make and I wanted to get it out the way before I started on the pancakes. Before I got the ingredients out to make the pancakes, I preheated the oven to cook the regular bacon and I took the Canadian bacon off the burner.

Both Edward and Chloë were up now and Jake put on Paw Patrol for them to watch while he picked out their outfits and got their baths ready.  I got a quick peek at my sleeping angel and she stirred a little bit to get more comfortable. So darn cute! After I arranged the bacon in the foil lined tray, I put in the oven and started to stir up the pancake batter. Soon enough, breakfast was finally done and I had just half an hour to get ready. Jake managed to get the kids ready in time and was brushing his teeth while I changed into my outfit for the day. I just kept it laid back and wore the cute pale purple sweater Grandma Esme gave to me and some blue jeans to match. Not wanting to deal with my hair today, I just threw it on a bun and brushed my teeth while Jake got himself dressed.

I heard two cars roll up into the driveway and I knew they were here. When Chloë and Jay finally caught a whiff of their cousins they squealed and ran to the entrance. That startled my poor Aria and she started to cry.

“Hold onto the railing!” I called out to the both of them.

“Kay!” they said in unison.
