Bella's pov
The cottage was a place of perfect peace in the silver blue night. We carried Nessie to her bed and gently tucked her in. She smiled as she slept. I took Aro's gift from around my neck and tossed it lightly into the corner of her room. She could play with it if she wished; she liked sparkly things. Edward and I walked slowly to our room, swinging our arms between us.
"A night for celebrations." He murmured, and he put his hand under my chin to lift my lips to his.
"Wait," I hesitated, pulling away.
He looked at me in confusion. As a general rule, I didn't pull away. Okay more than a general rule. This was a first.
"I want to try something," I informed him, smiling slightly at his bewildered expression.
I put my hands on both side of his face and closed my eyes in concentration.
I hadn't done very well with this when Zafrina had tried to teach me before, but I knew my shield better now. I understood the part that fought against separation from me, the automatic instinct to protect self above all else. It still wasn't anywhere near as easy as shielding other people along with myself. I felt the elastic recoil again as my shield fought to protect me. I had to strain to push it entirely away from me; it took all of my focus.
"Bella!" Edward whispered in shock
I knew it was working then, so I concentrated even harder, dredging up the specific memories I'd saved for this moment, letting them flood my mind, and hopefully his as well.
We stood there for hours reliving every moment of our time together, with a new intensity, a new deeper love between us, that only this moment could bring.
We only remembered the outside world once more when Renesmee, alerting us to the fact that it was morning once again called out to us wondering where we were.
"Momma, Daddy?" she said her words pealing out from her mouth in a symphony of bells, the only sound that could wake me from this moment.
"Yes darling I'm just coming" I said arriving in her room just as I finished the sentence rendering it effectively useless.
I gazed dumbstruck at her face, once again shocked by her impossible beauty almost jealous, before remembering that the impossible had happened and I plain clumsy old Bella looked just like that now.
"Do you want to go over to see the others now darling?" I asked
Her face lit up as she relied "Yes I want to see Jakey!"
I was pleased to see her so happy even though I still found it hard to accept just how much she loved Jake albeit just as a playmate for now.
"Okay darling" I said pleased that none of my internal turmoil showed in my voice. "Get dressed and we'll head over. I think Alice has a surprise for you."
Five minutes later we met Edward in the living room all ready to head over. He looked ridiculously handsome in his blue jeans and grey sweater. If I had still been human I knew that my heart would have increased in its beating by at least five hundred times.
"He looked at me and without me even having to push my shield away from my mind he instantly new exactly what I was thinking.
"Yes I must say that is the one thing that I miss."He paused."That and the blushing."
With that he turned around swiftly and said come one Nessie let's see if you can beat me yet."
They ran off into the trees both intent on getting the first. I followed at a more leisurely pace sure that Edward was going to win. Renesmee was getting faster but it would be a while before she was anywhere as near as fast as my remarkable husband. Edward was very fast even for a vampire.
When we reached the house Alice was at the door with Charlie by her side. I enveloped him into a huge hug I hadn't known that he was coming and I was oh so glad to see him. I was so completely taken aback by this surprise that I hadn't noticed the worried expressions on my family's faces. It was only when I came out of the hug and saw their faces that I wondered what was going on.
It was Alice who enlightened me, in as voice that was overhung with fear she said."It's your mother she found out. She's coming to visit."
So what do you think, how did Renee find out? All questions will be answered shortly.
