Okay, so here goes my first fanfiction here. I've had a few before on quizilla, but they sucked. Yeah, I know the title is a little lame. Reviews, please? Oh and I mispelled reletivly, I have no idea how to spell it, and neither does my spell check =(.
Bella's POV
"It's finished!" Carlisle exclaimed. Edward and I were sitting on the couch together, with Rensemee in our laps. Alice was on the other end, and suprisingly intrigued in "The Lion King". It was storming outside, and the lights were low. Everything was slightly Frankensienesque. There I go making up imaginary words again.
"Ahh!" Alice jumped. Everything was reletivly quiet for the past 52 minutes and 3 seconds, according to the DVD player. We all looked at each other, and I put Nessie down on the floor. We all ran up to Carlisle's office. In the corner of my eye, I saw Rensemee get back up on the couch without taking her eyes off the screen.
You see, we've been living in Forks too long. Too long to pull off being human any longer. In fact, we've pretty much been hiding out for almost a year now. I am supposed to be in college, along with Edward and Alice. Carlisle has supposedly "retired". Renesmee isn't supposed to exist, even though she is nearly two years old. (But she looks around 6.)
The inconvientent part is that the Cullen family has already lived in most dreary places. So, one day the made a suggestion. "The only thing preventing us from living somewhere sunny, is the fact our skin sparkles in the light,sooo….," I thought for a moment, and continued,"Why not we make something to cover that up, like makeup or something like that? It will make our skin tone far more believable too." Naturally, everyone thought that was such a good idea. Carlisle kissed me on the head, and I got pats on the back. I seriously thought I would get a "We tried that," or a "Well, that's not such a….great idea." Nope, for once I, Bella, had a good idea.
First, we experimented with makeup you buy at the store, but it looked very unrealistic. We weren't about the give up. Carlisle set out on making a concoction to conceal our identities as vampires, for Esme had already bought a beautiful home in Pennsylvania. Carlisle had already gotten a great job offering. Jacob was now a legal adult, so he could come aswell.
"So, does it work?" I asked Carlisle.
"Well, I don't know yet, its raining outside, so I can't tell." said Carlisle, "But, it blends in with my skin, and makes it a tone or two darker, See?" he finished, showing me his hand.
"It will work," Alice replied, "Well, one of your concoctions will." We all smiled with satisfaction, for Alice can see the future. "Oh, and it will be sunny tomarrow," she beamed.
She was right, the next morning the sun came up and shone bright. I watched Renesmee sleep as Edward fixed her breakfast.
"You attempting human food on her again?" I asked. Nessie can drink blood, and Carlisle says she can eat human food aswell, but she wants none of it.
"Yeah, I mean, someone's gotta eat whatever the Mutt doesn't."
"Hey, don't call Jake a mutt, Daddy!" Renesmee was awake.
"Sorry, sweetie," Edward made a cutesy voice, "Do you want to try some human food for breakfast?" Edward put down a plate of eggs with ketchup and pepper on the table. Nessie sat down.
"What is it?" she asked curiously.
"Eggs, I should've thought to give these to you first," he said, and I knew why he'd given them to her, "When you were inside Mommy's tummy, she always wanted to eat eggs, and that might have been you in there, asking for eggs."
Renesmee shrugged, and picked up the fork. She put some eggs on the fork and cautiously put it into her mouth. Her face lit up.
"Yummy! This is almost as good as Grizzly!" she exclaimed as she chewed.
"That's great, Nessie, but make sure you don't talk when you chew, it's impolite," Edward chuckled.
Renesmee reached out to her father and touched his arm. "It's okay," Edward replied.
After breakfast Jacob knocked at the cottage door. Renesmee got up and ran over to answer it. Jake was there with both of his huge hands over his face. "Peek-a-boo!", he boomed as he removed his hands from his face. He scooped up Renesmee and tickled her. Rensemee giggled hysterically. Edward coughed, and Jacob put her down. "Sorry, I just haven't seen her in 3 days!"
I don't see what the big deal is. For some reason, Edward still wasn't completely cool with Jacob and Renesmee being soul mates and all, even though Jacob is only like a big brother at this point.
"I'm glad you're here, we're going hunting, and we're also going to try out the concoction Carlisle made." I said.
"He finished that?" asked Jacob. I nodded. "That's cool, I heard Pennsylvania's kind of sunny."
"It's average," I replied. With that, I left Nessie with Jacob, and Edward and I headed to the main house. Edward's glorious skin sparkled in the sun, and he had a serious look on his face.
"What's wrong?" I asked, curious.
"Nothing…" he started, but I could see where this was going.
"Nothing but the way Jacob looks at Rensemee. Edward, you have to be serious. They were made for each other. They are compatable in all ways." It was always the same thing with him. He nodded.
We arrived at the main house, and Emmett was sitting on the couch, playing video games.
"Where's Carlisle?" Edward asked.
"Umm, upstairs.." Emmett waved us off. We headed up stairs.
"YES!" Emmett hollered, "High Score, Oh yeah!" I laughed, but Edward didn't.
"Can you hear Carlisles thoughts?" I asked.
"I hear Old Mc Donald Had a Farm," he shook his head, "He's hiding his thoughts from me."
When we got upstairs Carlisle was grinning.
"It works?" I guessed.
"Here, apply this to your skin," he gave me a large make-up sponge he'd probably stolen from Rosalie. I did as he told, and so had Edward. Carlisle handed me a small hand mirror. I looked like I did when I was human, maybe even a bit tanner. The only difference was that I wasn't blushing.
"Wow," was the only word I could say.
"I know," said Carlisle, "And, Look!" He pulled up the blinds in his office and shut off the lamp. Sunlight streamed onto my skin, but I did not sparkle. Not even a little glistening.
With that we were packing the next day, and a week later we were on our way to Pennsylvania.
It was a Thursday, and we all had a flight to Philidelphia.
"Mommy, have you've ever been on a plane before?" Rensemsee was very excited.
"Yes, dear." I replied, monotone. Rensemee was sitting in her booster seat in the back of Edward's Volvo on our way to the airport. I was staring out the window in the front seat. I'd miss the almost constant rain.
"Mommy, what was it like? Was it fun? Did you get sick? How long did it take? Mommy? Mommy!!!!" Rensemee whined.
"Rensemee, could you stop asking questions for at least 5 minutes, we are almost to the airport." Edward asked her.
"But Daddy…" Renesmee objected.
"No buts, young lady, you don't want the Tickle Monster to come pay you a visit." Nessie's eyes widend.
"No." she said quietly. Edward chuckled and his mouth twisted into my favorite crooked smile.
The flight took 4 and half hours, luckily Rensemee slept almost the whole way there. When she was awake she stared out the window, obviously fanscinated by the scenery below.
When we arrived in Philidelphia, we still had a long ways to drive. Edward led the way in our rental car, and Emmett followed in the moving truck. Alice, Jasper, Carlisle, and Esme were all driving our cars to the house. Usually, this would take the average person several days, but they were there by midnight.
The house was just as beautiful as the last. It wasn't the same though. It would never be the same. I would miss Forks, I would miss Charlie, but most of the people I care about will be right here.
The house was in the middle of a 100 acre forest in Columbia county. In about 3 weeks summer vacation will be over, and we will be attending Southern Columbia High School. Edward said that I didn't have to, if I wasn't comfortable being around humans still. I am comfortable, and I will.
After a week in our new house, we were settled. The house wasn't much different than the one in Forks. Emse intentionally searched for a house with a similar set up. The only difference was that here, we could walk out in the sun. It felt nice.
Everyone in the neighborhood was kind and accepting of our large family. Our story was pretty much the same, except here Carlisle had two more adopted children, Rensemee being his youngest. Nessie loved the idea of pretending to be my little sister.
Little did I know, instead of 7 children, it would soon be 8. Alice must've seen this coming.
