Chapter 1: Salt And Pepper

Bella

I am married to a wonderful Edward, with a beautiful daughter Renesmee, and I couldn't be happier, most of the time. I don't know what it is but the past couple of years have changed me. I feel complacent, bored not excited or riveted like I used to be and I don't really know how to fix it. Like I said I have an amazing husband a wonderful daughter but it seems so mundane. After all that we have been through, it seems like my family and I have drifted. My daughter and I are extremely close and when I spend time with her I am never bored but other than that there is nothing. No excitement, no adventure, and just no spice.

We do the same things everyday and it only changes every couple of months when we decide to go on vacation and even then it's not exciting. Now five years ago if you asked me about my life I would have told it was the most exciting most scary time of my life. I was just married to my soul mate and ended up pregnant with a hybrid vampire slash human. But now it's just blah.

Our everyday is this, we get Renesmee up for her lessons, go for a hunt (most days), read some books, tell Renesmee it is getting late and that Jake has to leave, and then she stays at the main house while Edward and I head off to our cottage and make love, well I don't think you can rightly call it that anymore because it's always the same it's more like just having sex, there is no spark.

So again here I was reading another freakin' book that holds nothing that I don't already know and Edward is sitting across from me thumbing through yet another medical journal. Yeah, what a flippin' surprise. Now don't get me wrong I was glad nothing was going wrong but nothing was new anymore.

The only entertainment i had was pulling different pranks on Emmett. Which was also getting old. I didn't know what to do about it. I thought about it almost everyday now. Edward was more distant then when I was a human, I could strip naked in the middle of our house and he would just stick to the task at hand, be it a book or a conversation. I tried lingerie, toys, even masturbation and it's like nothing worked.

The only person I talked to about it was Jasper he was my only real friend around here. He never made me do things he wanted to do and he never made me talk about things I didn't want to. He was my escape, he even treated Renesmee perfectly. If Edward had said she couldn't or shouldn't do something he would talk to her about it and if it was something she desperately wanted to do he would let her behind Edward's back because like me he knew she had to make her own mistake. I know I should probably be on my husband's side but come on he wanted me to have all of my own human experiences before he changed me and I want her to have her own life and not be controlled by Alice and Edward like I am. It's like I can't even put on a pair of underwear without her having to pick it out and with Edward I can't even make a decision about what Renesmee should be learning without him breathing down my neck.

As I was reading my book I thought of all this and just got madder and madder before I heard Jas growl and decided I should go out for a hunt. I turned and walked towards Edward giving him a kiss and heading out the door I wouldn't be gone long and God forbid if I go somewhere for more then two hours at a time.

I made my downstairs at a human pace. I tried to keep things as normal as possible for Renesmee because I wanted her to have a sense of normalcy in her life amongst all the crazy. As I entered the living room I could hear Jasper and Alice arguing over her shopping yet again. They always seemed to be doing that anymore. I went towards the noise and found them in the kitchen.

"Alice this is getting ridiculous, I do not want to go on another one of your idiotic shopping trips!" Jasper yelled.

"Well, then you can stay home and I will ask someone else if they want to go." She simply replied, as I walked into the room. She eyed me intently like she was gonna ask me to go with her. I shook my head at her and she frowned. I rolled my eyes and continued into the kitchen.

"Where is my gorgeous daughter today?" I asked. I knew she wouldn't go anywhere that one of the family members didn't know about.

"She went to the reservation with Jacob." Alice replied.

"Alright, did she have her phone?" I asked.

"Yep." She replied. Popping the p. I swear sometimes I just wanted to rip her damn head off because of her antics. I just smiled.

"Well, I am going out to hunt for awhile if anyone would like to accompany me?" I said. Jasper nodded.

"Well, since neither of you like to shop I know Edward will go so Bella do you care if I ask him?" She asked. I told her she could and then me and Jasper were on our way outside.

After we both had our fill we sat down near the stream at the back of the Cullens' property. I could feel his frustration projecting and politely asked him to stop.

"Sorry Bella it's just that shopping is all Ali seems to want to do anymore." he frowned and looked at the ground.

"I know exactly what you mean. All Edward wants to do is read or teach Renesmee something new" I said.

"Yeah I guess we are kind of in the same boat, huh?"

"Kindred spirits, Jas, we need to fix it somehow."

"I know but how" I could almost see the wheels in his head turning as we sat there.

A/n: Well there it is my first chapter hope you all like it.
