Chapter one: Unbelievable
Bella's POV
It has been almost a month, A month since the Volturi made the decision to come to Forks, A decision that split my family up- but made us stronger than we ever thought we'd be.
"What are you thinking about?" My husband asked from behind me I turned around and looked at him
"I was thinking-" My sentence was interrupted by a cry, the cry of my daughter. Renesmee "Nessie" Carlie Cullen. Both Edward and I went to see what was wrong
She was curled up on her bed with her arms wrapped around her knees. She looked about physically five but Carlisle thought her growing rate was slowing which meant a longer childhood for her than we had originally thought. Tears were streaming down her face
"Aw. Ness honey what's wrong?" I asked sitting beside her and pulling her up into my lap.
"She had the dream again" Edward answered for our daughter taking her out of my lap and into my arms. Over the past few weeks Nessie and Edward had formed a special bond that really I never expected. A lot of girls stay distant to their fathers- I know I did. But I had a feeling Nessie wouldn't at all. "Honey its fine, they are not coming back for you okay?" He asked kissing her cheek and putting her back into her bed. "Go to sleep sweetheart" I said getting up . She turned on her side "Goodnight" She whispered and we walked out of her room
The next morning we were over at the main house. Everyone was having a typical morning. Nessie was sitting on Rosalie's lap laughing about a story Emmett had told her. Jasper was sitting in the corner reading a book. Alice was sketching- what's new there?- Esme was cooking and Carlisle had taken a shift at the hospital. There was one person missing though
"Momma where is Jacob?" Came a voice from over in the corner. Nessie had relocated over to Jasper now and he was taking her up in his arms
"I don't know sweetie" I answered honestly it was unusual Jacob was not around. He practically lived here now. "Morning all!" Called a cheery voice well now I knew where Jacob was he came into the room with a cut of pair of shorts and a grey t-shirt
I laughed "There he is Ness" I said answering her question. Nessie launched herself from Jaspers lap and into Jacob's arms for a hug. I saw the look of sadness on Jazz's face. Poor Jasper Nessie pretty much chose Jacob over everyone except Edward and I.
Jacob and Nessie took off to hunt and I sat next to Jasper. "I never thought I'd want a child Bella, but strangely I do. Look at Edward. That little girl has given him so much happiness it flows off him like a river-I want that- I want to feel my own happiness not somebody else's" He whispered. I understood. I never really put Jasper or Emmett into the fatherly category but then again I didn't put Edward into that category either, but he was an amazing father.
"Why don't you and Alice go away for a while sort things out?" I asked
"We have already been away long enough have we not?" He smiled at me
"Yes but that was for Nessie you need to look out for you and Alice too" I objected. She was his only real family
"Maybe your right Bella, Maybe your right" Jasper said and stood up he walked over to Alice and offered her his hand. She took it confused and they flew up the stairs.
"No you didn't Jake just drop it!" Nessie teased coming in the door laughing
"Ok little Ness" He joked poking her
"Ugh" Nessie moaned and flopped on the coach next to me
It had been two weeks since the conversation with Jasper. Alice and Jazz left for a honeymoon in Sydney two days later They still hadn't returned but we knew they would this time
"Jeez Ness Alice leaves for two weeks and your dressing like a hobo" Emmett commented in a girly American accent. Nessie had gotten her way with her clothes and- sigh- her hair since Alice had left. Nessie had cut her hair into a bob style and she had now permanent plans to change her do'. Now she looked physically six or so but Carlisle said the rate of growth had slowed immensely which meant Ness would grow like a normal child except for huge growth spurts. He thought his theory would start soon and I hoped it would more of a childhood for her.
The phone rang bringing me out of my trance. I went and answered it
"Bella" Jasper's voice came down the phone
"Jazz I'm here is something wrong"
"We're not- I mean I thought- I never expected" He was panicked not his usual calm self
"Its Alice" He whispered
