Chapter1:A Rude Awakening

Dawn. Not that it made any difference to me or my family for the exception of one. My daughter was the most unusual person in the entire world to normal people but in my world she was simply Nessie. A lot had changed in the past 10 years since I had given birth to Nessie. She and Jacob had got married and now live only a few miles away from Edward and me. I had decided to come out of hiding and finally face the world.

"Wow," a lot of people had said who I had previously known in my human life. I got up in a daze, not that I was asleep, but because sometimes I like to lie in my bedroom and just think about my life and how wonderful it is. As I got dressed in my huge wardrobe I heard someone come in the door.

"Mom," Nessie called.

"I'm in here."

"Mom, what are you wearing?" Nes said as she came in through the double doors into my closet.

"What's wrong with what I'm wearing?" I said. I had picked simply a pair of old jeans and a nice floral top I knew Edward liked.

"We're going shopping, not going to visit grandpa," she said nearly laughing at the state I was in. I swear she is spending too much time with Alice. Charlie was getting on great. I had tried to convince him to retire recently but he was having none of it.

"Honestly Bells, how old do you think I am," he had said. It's not that I think he's old, I just think that he's worked long enough, not to mention that he doesn't need to work with all the money us Cullen's have. But Charlie isn't a very persuasive person so I just let it be. We visit him every two weeks now. Edward, Nes, Jacob and I and occasionally Alice.

"Fine," I said just giving up the fight. It was no use trying to win with Nessie; Alice had taught her all the tricks in the book.

"Great! Meet me and Alice in the car. Bye"

"Bye." I grumpily shouted after her.

I hate it when she wins; after all I am supposed to be her mother. I changed into a skirt but kept the top and ran to the house. Edward and Emmet were inside having a fight about who was hotter: Rosalie or me. As I came in the door I heard Edward say, "Come on Emmet look at my wife she is absolutely the most beautiful person you have seen in your entire life," I smiled as I walked into the room and did a little twirl just for Edward.

"To you yes, but to me she looks like plain old Bella Cullen, my sister actually," Emmet said as I walked toward Edward and sat on his knee which I always did.

"Ok, boys it's a tie, both me and Rosalie are equally as beautiful to both of you," I said. I noticed that I smiled as I said it because it felt like not so long ago I was afraid to be in the same room as Rosalie because I was terrified Edward was suddenly going to realise how beautiful she is compared to me who was only a human at the time. So it felt so good to say that I was beautiful.

"I'm going shopping with Nes and Alice for a while so I'll be back soon ok?" I said to Edward who looked into my eyes and if I had had a heart it would have melted.

"Okay honey bunny no problem," said Emmet just before he let out a boisterous laugh.

"Ha-ha Emmet, very funny," Edward said before looking back at me. "Okay no problem. I love you."

"I love you too," I said before kissing him gently on the cheek and then bouncing out of the room toward the garage. Nes wanted to take the Volvo and so did I so we decided to take it. Alice flitted back to the house to get the keys and then we were off.

"Where is Rosalie and Jasper, Alice?" I asked because I had noticed they weren't at the house.

"They went hunting because Rosalie was thirsty and Emmet didn't want to go."

"Oh, ok and Jacob, Nes?"

"He's over at Billy's. There's a big game on and I think Grandpa went to watch it too."

I was silent the rest of the trip just listening to Edwards music that we always played no matter where we were going. When we arrived in Port Angeles, we parked in the nearest parking space to the shops and got ready to hit the shops but as we passed a restaurant, I saw two very familiar people: Jessica and Mike standing frozen on the opposite side of the street. I immediately stopped walking and pushed my shield out to Alice.

"Alice, help! There's Jessica and Mike. What will I do?"

"It's too late now Bella we will just have to do what we practiced." She said and I was really terrified.

Mike couldn't keep his eyes off me and I almost felt like I was going to blush even though I couldn't.

"What happened to you?" Jessica asked me when she and Mike had crossed the street purposely to see us.

"I just grew up, I guess and started wearing make-up," was simply the answer I gave with a nervous laugh. Damn it, I thought why isn't Jasper here to calm me down. But Jessica and Mike (although he was still staring) just believed my answer and we were able to move on then.

"We haven't seen you in so long Bella. Oh I'm sorry who's this?" I knew who she was talking about but it was still hard to get the words out.

"This is, this is," I stammered but I knew I wouldn't be able to lie.

"This is Katie, my cousin from Alaska," Alice stepped in as I mouthed a thank-you.

"Hi," Nessie said so easily I was jealous. Even as a vampire I still wasn't as smooth as my family.

"Hey. I'm Jessica and this is Mike." Jessica replied to Nessie pointing to both her and Mike.

"Well, it was lovely to see you again but we really must be getting on," Alice said.

"Ok. Bye Bella, Alice, Katie. It was lovely to see and meet you," Jessica replied and I noticed that Mike had not said one word the whole conversation.

"That was weird," Nessie said as we walked away without looking back.

"We'll explain when we get home," I said to her because I knew she would want to know everything. On the way home I was contemplating whether or not to tell Nessie everything about Mike and Jessica or just selective parts. I decided to ask Edward to help me with my decision. As soon as we got home Edward was right there at the front door tapping his fingers on the frame. Oh no, not this again I thought.

"What the hell was that Bella?" He shouted at me so loudly he would've deafened me had I not been a vampire.

"Edward what was I supposed to do, walk on past and pretend they were not there," I replied very calmly as I continued up the stairs into the living where Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmet and Jasper sat looking at me and Edward as we came in through the door.

"I'm not talking about you speaking to them; I'm talking about how Mike drooled over you!"

"How did you know about that?" I asked confused because I'm sure I was the only one who had noticed that and my shield was very much down right now.

"You know, just because I can't read your thoughts, doesn't mean I can't read everyone else's." He replied nodding toward Alice and Nessie standing silently at the door.

"I'm sorry Mom, I just couldn't stop thinking about it," Nes said and I couldn't blame her. I'm sure she was interested to know who Mike and Jessica were.

"Hey guys," Jacob said as he bounded in the door giving Nes a kiss on the cheek as he passed. Jacob had been very good and careful with Nes when he was around Edward and I. He knew how to keep his thoughts to himself and wouldn't show anymore than kissing toward her.

"Maybe we should take this somewhere quieter," I projected to Edward through my shield.

"Absolutely, after you," Edward hissed with his eyes fixed firmly on mine.

I wasn't prepared to have an argument with my husband over someone silly like Mike so as we ran to the cottage I was thinking of ways to settle him and calmly explain what happened. But of course as soon as we were in the cottage he was already ranting about it before I could get a word in.

"I mean do you have to be so god damn beautiful all the time!" he nearly screamed as me. I knew he was very jealous. I mean this was ridiculous I thought. How could he think that there would be anyone other than him especially Mike Newton?

"Why are you so jealous, it is Mike Newton for goodness sake. He was in love with me even before I was a vampire and you know that I never ever liked him!" I shouted back just to prove my point and try to calm him down.

"I know but you should have seen the look on his face in Nessie's mind," he said. He looked shaken up about this and I honestly didn't know why.

"She was probably exaggerating," a lot, I though to myself but didn't say to Edward because I knew that she wasn't. "Edward, listen to me" I said as I put my hands on his cool face. Not that I noticed anymore because mine were exactly the same.

"You know there is no one else in this entire world, the entire universe that could ever come even a fraction close to how much you mean to me excluding Nes of course."

I could see his face calming a bit so I continued on. "You are my life now. I believe that's something I heard from someone who I love more than anyone ok?"

"Alright, I know. But you have to be fair. I need to be more careful about where I let you go without me. Some people would die when they saw how beautiful you are especially today," he smiled my favourite crooked smile.

"Did you do something different with your hair?"

"Alice," I mumbled.

"Ah," was all he said as he lifted me off my feet and carried me into the bedroom, closing the door behind him.
