A/N: This is my new story, it's going to mostly be from Bella's POV but depending on how nicely you ask; I might change it. I'm going to be writing this story a lot slower then The Amazing Race.
If you have any ideas I'd love to hear them & I'll do my best to add them in.
Thank you. Please R&R!!
Bella's POV
I was hunting when I got the call. Unfortunately, I didn't answer it. It didn't come up as any of the Cullen's, anybody from La Push or even Charlie. So, I did what any vampire that was in the middle of hunting did. I ignored it.
After half a minute of ringing, my phone fell silent. I sniffed the air, now focused completely. Less then a kilometer away, I could smell deer. With the irruption in the back of my mind, I took off after them; I was hungry.
I lent against a tree, satisfied. After feasting on three of the five deer I'd chased down, I was full. As full as I ever could be without killing innocent people that is. Looking down, I noticed that I only had gotten a couple of drops of blood on my clothes. Clothes that would now have to be replaced by Alice because she didn't believe in re-wearing the same clothes. I smiled ruefully, she'd brought me these clothes almost two months ago, and I'd just never really taken a fancy to them till now.
While enjoying the smells and sounds around me, I decided that it was time to go home, back to my Edward, Renesme, I scowled, and Jacob. Three days ago Jacob had decided without telling me or Edward that Renesme should learn how to ride a motorbike, my motorbike. Just the memory of when Edward found out Jacob had let her drive such a thing made me smile.
Edward completely freaked out, later Alice had told me that if I hadn't stopped him he would have broken Jacob's nose. I only partially regret stopping Edward, but I know that Renesmee would have been upset if she'd seen her father break her Jacobs' nose. However, between me and Edward we'd decided that Jacob would no longer be able to look after Renesme by himself. He had to have one vampire with him and Renesme at all times.
My phone started to ring again, interrupting my thoughts. Looking at the caller ID I noticed that it was the same caller that had rung earlier. 5 minutes earlier. Wow. I thought to myself, must be something urgent. Either way I was curious to know who the caller was. I flipped open my phone and answered.
Bella: Bella Cullen here. (I loved being able to call myself that.)
Jessica: Bella! *squeal* I have some amazing news!
Bella: Jessica?! Is that you? I knew that it was, but I was still shocked.
Jessica: duh. Who else would it be Bella?! Anyway, I really need you to come over to my house with Renesme. And if Alice is free, could you ask her to come over as well?
Bella: Um. Sure. When do you want us over?
Jessica: Now! Thanks so much Bella. Bye!
I stood in the middle of the clearing, where I'd caught up with the deer, frozen with shock. What the hell was that about? I hadn't talked to Jess in ages, and even then; it was just because we'd bumped into each other while at the petrol station in Forks. But that was over two months ago.
And what did she want with Renesme? She'd met her almost a year ago, while at a Christmas party; something that Alice had dragged our whole family too. Alice. Of course, she'd know what was going on. Quickly gathering myself together, I set off for home.
It took me just over ten minutes to get back home, when I was coming over the lake I heard my lullaby playing softly from the house. I smiled and ran even faster, Edward must have known I was on the way home, and this was his way of welcoming me back. Alice's welcoming was a bit more straight-forward.
I hadn't been in Edward's arms for a minute when came rushing out of the house yelling for me.
"Bella! You need to hurry, Jessica is expecting us over at her house in half an hour; and you still need to get ready!" she sighed expectantly
"I don't even know why Jessica want's us there Alice! Can you tell me?" I hadn't even finished my question and Alice was shaking her head.
"There is no way I'm spoiling this surprise for you. It took me completely my surprise so there is no way you are going to guess either." Alice smirked at me. I'd been planning to start guessing the surprise as we drove over. "Anyway, we need to get over to the cottage so I can show you which clothes would be best suited and help get Renesme ready."
Edward, who I was still holding, growled at Alice. "Do you think it is possible to let Bella chose her own clothing? If Jessica doesn't like what she's wearing then she should've told Bella what was going on." Alice just poked out her tongue at him and ran off towards the cottage.
"I'd better go" I commented lamely.
"You don't have to go anywhere Bella, but because I know how curious you are; I agree." Edward kissed me lightly. "Besides, Emmett wants somebody wants to renew his marriage license after marring us, he seems to think that being a priest is the reason he's here." From inside the house we heard Emmett start yelling loudly, "Just because you think that you're the best at everything Eddie doesn't mean that I can't have another hobby which I naturally am better then you at."
Edward growled and turned back to me. "Don't worry, I'll be home soon." I promised him and with a quick kiss I ran off towards the cottage; mine, Edwards and Renesme home for the last four years.
I arrived at the cottage in good timing, another to see Alice doing Renesmes' hair. She'd dressed her up nicely in a winter dress and had done her hair into two French braids.
Gracefully, I went into room and then through to my walk-in-robe. Alice had placed another design outfit together in the middle of the room. Not wanting Alice to come and help me change – as she usually did when I agreed to go shopping with her, a rare event in its self. – I quickly changed out of the clothes I'd hunted in and into these new clothes that I swore had not been in my wardrobe this morning.
Walking over to my mirror and dressing table, I quickly touched up my make-up – only basics – and redid my hair so that it was sitting stylishly up.
"Thank god Bella! You know, I thought you'd be a disappointment but you've actually managed to let me dress you without kicking up a fuss." Alice commented as she walked in the room, wearing a new outfit herself. "Renesmee's waiting at the door and we're both ready to go."
"Thanks Alice, I actually do like this outfit; these jeans are comfy." I grabbed my handbag and together we walked to the front door.
"Mum you look beautiful! So do you Aunt Alice!" I knew that Renesme meant it so I picked her up and cuddled her.
"And so do you! You always do." Renesme smiled and touched my cheek. It showed a picture of the three of us running through the woods back to the main house.
I smiled and nodded. "We're going now, don't worry." After closing up the cottage, both Alice and I ran back to the house. Renesme could run pretty fast but as neither of us knew the secret of this unexpected trip, she'd asked if I could just piggy-back her. She knew that I loved the feeling over her sitting on my back so whenever she asked for one there was no way I could resist her.
It didn't take long to get back, even in heels. Not bothering to go inside, Alice steered me into the garage where I could smell Edward's scent inside; Jasper's too. Slowing down we walked through the garage door and saw that both Edward and Jasper were sitting on various surfaces waiting for us.
I went straight over to Edward, who immediately took Renesme off my back and into his arms. The two of them could have mental conversations without anybody noticing, but there was no need to doubt because my daughter began to laugh and clap with joy. Not understanding, I turned to Edward.
Edward smiled at me and said, "Renesme found out what the surprise is, she's going to be a very excited girl in a few months."
I growled with annoyance, "You mean that I'm the only one that doesn't know what's going on?" Sensing my annoyance, Edward flashed me my favourite crooked smile.
"No." I frowned. "You and Carlisle. He hasn't come home from the hospital yet for us to tell him." Edward pulled me into a hug, and kissed me.
"Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough."I kissed again and smiled.
"Come on Bella!" Alice whinged from inside her Porsche. I rolled my eyes, and pulled Renesme back from Edward's arms.
"Talk about annoying," I whispered to Edward, knowing that Alice would hear anyway. With a final kiss to my husband, I placed Renesme in the spare sit and slide myself in next to Alice.
She didn't bother with any goodbyes, reversing out of the garage and spinning around and taking off down the drive way – all in which she did at a speed that would've broken most of the speed laws in Forks.
It didn't take long to reach Jess's house, she lived the opposite way from the high school and from the Cullen's house. She had a nice, country home that was reached by a wide driveway that ended in a roundabout, garden in the centre and along the entrance of the driveway.
When we reached the house, I noticed that there were several other cars parked outside Jess's home. Some of the cars I recognised; Angela's, Lauren's and what surprised me the most, Mike's car. He's was the closet to the house and looking at how it was parked, he'd arrived first. What was going on?
A/N: What do you think? Love/hate? Do you think I should continue.
Please Review and tell me what you think! Thanks!
