Life After Breaking Dawn
Bella's POV.
We were all in the Cullen's house. And I had to smile as I watched Jasper rubbing his tumbles as he and Alice played chess. What with Alice predicting Jaspers moves and so making sure she blocked him from making that move, leaving Jasper stuck. Emmett was starting to once again build his monumental house of cards, which Rosalie had knocked down four times already. Whilst Esme and Carlisle where discussing how much longer we would be able to stay in the town of Forks. Edward was sitting at his piano, worrying, as he always did when Renesmee went with Jake to the reservation. He was worried that something was going to happen between them. You see Renesmee was eight, but of course she had a body of a sixteen year old. And Jake was seventeen and would be seventeen until he exited his wolf. To add to the worry of course he had already imprinted on Renesmee, when she was a baby he just wanted her to be happy. However now they were of similar age. Edward considered Jacob as his friend now, of course, that would change in an instant if he started dating Renesmee.
"Bella, What about this one?" Rose asked. She was looking through a fashion magazine, whilst wrecking Emmett's house of cards, her and Alice were planning a big surprise birthday for Renesmee and of course they wanted me to wear a dress.
"Wow, Rose that's gorgeous." It was a dark blue dress strapless, that stopped mid thigh.
"I know and blue is Edwards favourite colour on you. It will be perfect."
I smiled glancing at towards the piano. Edward was smiling.
"So I will order it for you?" She smiled, getting excited.
"Yeah."
"Yay, okay one down four to go."
Jacob and Renesmee must be back because there was a revolting dog smell, it got better after a few minutes but at first, urgh. I stood up and walked over to the front door, Edward was behind me in a second, watching Jake and Renesmee climb out of the Rabbit. I smiled and opened the door. Edwrad was glaring at Jake so I don't know what was going on in their thoughts.
"Hey Bells!" He grinned.
"Hi Jake." He pulled me into a hug that would have been bone crushing if I was a human.
"Okay, dad, before you flip on me let me explain." Renesmee said.
Edward just continued glaring at Jake.
"Okay, Jake and I are dating, I'm old enough now dad."
I wasn't happy about but I took a deep breath to calm myself down.
"What?" Edward screamed.
"Dad, please." she shouted.
"You will not date him Renesmee." he shouted back.
"But dad." Renesmee pleaded.
"No Renesmee. Not another word."
"Okay! Well here's three! I HATE YOU." Renesmee screamed and then ran upstairs.
"You will not date my daughter." Edward said coldly to Jake.
"Edward, come on. She's old enough to make her own decisions."
"I don't care," he said through gritted teeth. "You will stay away from here."
"You know I can't do that man." Jake pleaded.
"NO! I will not allow it." Edward screamed.
"Edward calm down, please." I said quietly.
He turned on me then and got right close to my face. "Calm down. The boy who loved you, has just told you he is now dating your 8 year old daughter and you are telling me to calm down." he screamed at me.
If I could cry at this point a would be he had never shouted at me like that before. I backed away and just looked at him. "Edward please we can sort thi-"
"Whatever! You sort it out then. Just fucking leave me alone Bella. Just fuck off!" he shouted as he stormed out the house.
I took a deep breath as two arms wrapped around me. I turned around as Esme held me tight, I started sobbing tearless sobs.
"Sweetie," she said stroking my hair. "Are you okay?"
I shook my head. "He has never talked to me like that before, even when he is mad. Maybe he doesn't love me anymore."
Esme led me to the couch. "Bella, sweetie, don't be silly, of course he loves you, he's just upset at the moment, and unfortunately he took it out on you." she kissed my hair.
"I am so sorry, Bells." Jake said quietly.
"Don't worry about it, I'll talk to them both but for now, just go home." I said.
"Okay and I am truly sorry." and with that he turned and walked out the door.
I took a deep breath. "I had better go and speak to Renesmee, she shouldn't have said that to Edward, she's been raised better than that."
"Okay, sweetie."
I stood up going upstairs to find her, she was lying on the bed in her room here at the Cullen's house. I knocked on the door. "Renesmee. May I speak with you please?"
She looked up at me. "Mom, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that to dad. I was just upset. Where is he? I need to apologize."
I sighed. "I don't know where he is," I looked down. "He stormed out after you ran up here."
"Mom, did you two get into a fight?" she asked wrapping her arms around me.
This was the way it always was with Renee, I was the Mom and she was the child I always comforted here. It was weird for that to be role reversal, Renesmee was comforting me.
"Not really Renesmee, but, hey, don't worry about that." I said quietly.
"Okay …" she said hesitantly.
"Now, I'm not going to say that you cannot date Jake because that really wouldn't help this situation, but I suggest your not all over him when Edward is around. I will talk to him for you, but just give him some time to come to terms with it, you're his only little girl, he is just trying to protect you, he doesn't want to see you hurt." I said softly.
"Can I sleep her tonight, Mom?" she asked.
"Yeah, of course. I'll stay her as well, give you farther some time to cool off." I said. "Now it's getting late, go to sleep Sweetie."
"Okay goodnight Mommy, I'm sorry, I love you."
"Love you too Honey. Goodnight." I said walking back downstairs.
When I got down there I had 6 pair of eyes looking at me. "Hey, I hope it's okay, but she wants to sleep her tonight, is that alright?" I asked.
"Of course it is Bella." Esme said.
"Would it be alright if I stay here tonight. I think it would be a good idea to let Edward cool off." I looked down.
"Bella, you know you are always welcome here," Carlisle told me. "and I am sure Edward didn't mean what he said. He shouldn't have talked to you like that, he was raised so much better."
"Don't worry Carlisle. He's just worried about Renesmee." I said.
"I know, but still, he shouldn't have spoke to you like that." He repeated.
"I know." I walked over to sit by Alice and she wrapped her arms around me.
"Don't worry Hunny, it will all turn out fine." she smiled and I had to smile back, she could she my future and his and it was still as one.
The next morning there was still no sign of Edward. I sighed I better go back to the cottage and talk to him.
"Alice," I asked. "Could you and Rose possible look after Renesmee, while I go find Edward?"
"Yeah of course." Alice replied.
With that I walked out of the door and jumped over the river running back to the cottage. I opened the door an walked in hesitantly.
"Bella!" Edward said jumping up from the couch. He came over to me and put his hands on my waist. "I am so sorry. I should have never had said that to you." I just looked at him. "I was just mad and you were there and unfortunately happened to get the horrible and of the stick. But that is still no excuse because I should not under any circumstances talk to you like that. Will you please I am begging you, forgive me?"
"Okay, Edward look. I'm not happy exactly thrilled that Renesmee is dating Jake but I am going to allow it. We will however have to sort out the whole Jake loving me now loving our child situation. But Edward, you need to just think of something for a minute, it was the same with Charlie, he didn't want me to go out with you, but he still let me. Now you need to take a leaf out of Charlie's book and trust your daughter. You can still keep an eye on them, and you have an even bigger advantage because you can read their minds. But not allowing Renesmee isn't going to help, because you know that she will probably go behind your back, since she is just like you and you know that she will not give up. Renesmee is really sorry for what she said! She wanted to talk to you but you weren't there. You may want to go and talk to her?"
"Okay I will." he said. "But first there is something slightly more important than giving that dog my permission!" I looked at him. "Will you forgive me? I don't want you to leave me alone." he plead.
"I forgive you, I know you are just worrying about Renesmee." I smiled. He lent down and kissed me. I pulled away slowly, biting my lip. "We really should go talk to Renesmee." he took my hand and we ran back to the main house. As we walked in the door Esme and Carlisle were the first to greet us.
"Edward!" Carlisle said sternly.
"I'm sorry for my behaviour yesterday, dad." Edward said sincerely. "I should not have talked to Bella like that."
"No you shouldn't have." Esme chastened. "Bella deserves a big apology."
"I know Mom. I am sorry, I really am." Edward said looking at me. I just nodded. "Well I should probably go and talk to Renesmee."
"I'll come with you." I said, I didn't want anymore fighting and I needed Renesmee to see that her father and I weren't fighting.
Edward knocked on Renesmee door. "Come in." she called. "Oh Hey Dad."
"Renesmee I think you deserve an apology off me. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that you couldn't date Jake. That was wrong of me."
"Don't worry about it Dad. That was only fair. I mean I am only 8 theoretically. I shouldn't have said that I hated you. That was wrong of me. You and Mom have brought me up better than that and I could never hate you."
"Will you forgive me Renesmee?" Edward asked.
"Of course, Daddy. Will you forgive me?" Renesmee asked.
"Yes Sweetie I forgive you." Edward told her.
"Mom?" Renesmee asked quietly.
"Yeah." I asked.
"Are you and Dad fighting still?" she asked.
I looked at Edward then back to Renesmee. "We were never fighting Ness."
"Yes you were I saw, Daddy shouted at you." Renesmee said quietly.
I looked at Edward for help. "We just had a misunderstanding, but don't worry, everything is fine now. We aren't fighting." Edward said.
And that was how Nessie finally told us she was dating Jake. Three months later and Jake and Renesmee are still going strong.
Three Months Later.
Jake came running up to the house so I stood up to greet him, the rest of the Cullens stood up to welcome him formally. I don't know why they still did that.
"Hi Jake."
"Hey Bells!" He grinned.
"JAKE!" Renesmee yelled running into Jake's arms.
He lifted her off the ground spinning her around. I started to back away. Shaking my head. Edward then came u behind me wrapping his arms around me. I turned slightly in his arms and smiled at him, he smiled back, then lent down and softly kissed me.
"Seriously," Alice said looking at Jack and Nessie. "You two act like you haven't seen each other in ages, you seen each other like 12 hours ago." Alice said, rolling her eyes.
"Hey," Jack whined. "You guys should be used to it. These two" he gestured at me and Edward "had to be worse then us."
Alice pursed her lips. "Your probably right."
I look at Alice raising my eyebrow, she just shrugged. I shook my head at her giggling.
Jake took Renesmee's chin in his hand and leaned in, Edward and I hissed. Nessie huffed and looked at us.
"Mom! Dad! We have been dating for three months now. When are you finally going to let us kiss around you?" Renesmee whined.
Edward chuckled and pulled me tight against him, "Well, one I never kissed Bella in front of her Mom or Dad or my Mom or Dad actually." Alice was about to interrupt. "Except at the wedding." he added quickly throwing a glare at Alice. "And, two when you finally accept this," he said putting his hands around my waist I reached up wrapping my arms around his neck closing my eyes.
"EW!" Nessie shouted before Edward could kiss me.
I looked at her to see her covering her eyes. Edward laughed and leant in to kiss me.
"I CAN STILL HEAR YOU GUYS YOU KNOW!" She shouted again. Everyone laughed and Edward slowly pulled away.
"Yano Ness, you're lucky that you are to young to remember when they first got married." Jasper spoke.
Nessie and Jake gagged.
Alice continued for Jasper. "Yeah they were always going to the cottage to ha-"
"ALICE!" Edward growled.
I looked down, embarrassed.
"What?" Alice asked innocently. "I was just gonna say hang out."
Nessie sighed grabbing Jakes hand. "Let's go Jake."
"Erm, Renesmee. Going where?" I asked, suspicious.
"The pack are having a bon-fire at La Push."
"Renesmee, I d-", Edward sighed.
"Don't start, Dad." She hissed. "I will be safe in La Push all the pack will be there, so therefore the will be perfectly safe. We won't do anything we will regret. I promise."
Edward chuckled. "You sound like your mother."
"Please Dad?"
He looked at me then, I just shrugged. Edward nodded at Nessie.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you like a million times!" Renesmee squealed jumping into Edwards arms. Edward kissed her forehead. Nessie hugged me.
"Jacob, I am correct in saying that I can trust you with my daughter, right?" Edward asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Absolutely," Jacob nodded.
"Good, and well … uh…have fun." He said with mock enthusiasm. I started laughing he sounded exactly like Charlie. Edward looked at me.
"Sorry, you just really sounded like Charlie then."
Emmett shook his head. "Don't worry Ness, she's just still a little tipsy from the fun her and you father had la-"
"Right, I'm Leaving!" Renesmee shouted, grabbing Jacob's hand and running out.
"Oh come on Ness, just admit it," Emmett yelled. We all knew she could hear. "YOU'RE PARENTS HAVE SEX….A LOT!"
I shook my head looking down.
"EWWWWWWWW!" Renesmee screamed, jumping into the Rabbit, shaking her head.
