Bella's POV
I looked at my family gathered around the table. Emmett was studying the pattern of the ceiling. Rosalie, who was sitting next to him, was admiring her pale red nail polish. Esme was anxiously examining a scratch in the table. Jasper and Alice had identical "I'm in deep thought right, now" looks while there hands were clasped together on top of the table. I giggled, and pointed them out to Edward, and he smiled amusingly. Rennesmee, was on my lap, and fiddling with three pieces of yarn that she was skillfully braiding.
Carlisle gracefully walked to the table and took a seat at the head of the table, but next to Esme, and they're hands joined together under the table.
" I have something to ask everyone." he said with a bit of sadness in his voice that he was obviously trying to hide. Everyone immediately gave their full attention to him. "I think it may be time that we moved on to another location." he continued. Sadness immediately hit me, but I knew we would have to eventually do this. Everyone looked at each other with sad faces. This is where me and Edward met, where Renesmee was born, where we encountered James, Laurent, and Victoria, this is where we had our lives for about the last 5 years.
5 years, that's all long time for a group of people not to age, it would make sense to leave, pretty soon people would become suspicious. Charlie. I would have to say goodbye to Charlie, my dad. I could probably still talk to him over the phone, but it wouldn't be the sameā¦
"I agree" said Esme, looking like she was on the verge of tears, if that were possible.
"Us, too." Alice and Jasper said together, while Alice and me shared a sad look. She had told me she always got emotional when they had to move.
"Yeah," I said and Edward, Emmett and Rosalie nodded.
"Where are we going, everyboty?" Rennesmee said hiding behind my hair looking scared. Everybody looked at her with big eyes and sad faces.
"Uhhh, Rennesmee, honey, probably Alaska or somewhere else in Washington." Carlisle said.
"Oh." Rennesmee replied and continued with her braiding but she a crease in her forehead telling me that she was thinking really hard. "Is Jake coming, wit us?" she asked looking directly at me. The seconds ticked away as I thought about that question. Would Jake be able to come with us? Would it be necessary? Could he leave his pack? Just when she was about to repeat her question Jake flew open the door and jokingly said
"I'M HOME!" Nessie giggled as Jake walked up to the table and picked her up and put her on his shoulders.
"great" I heard Edward mumble sarcastically.
"What's up, everybody?" he asked. Everyone was silent because no one knew how exactly to explain the situation to him.
"Granpa said that we have to move soon" Rennesmee said being braver than 8 full grown vampires.
"Oh" Jake said sounding almost exactly like Nessie earlier. He grabbed a seat and also had a crease in his forehead. "Where?" he asked me.
"Alaska or maybe somewhere else in Washington?" I said, but it came out as a question.
"I'll have to work something out with the pack and my dad" he said and Nessie replied
"Your coming with us?!"
" I'll try" Jake said with a smile and it was obvious that made Nessie happier, and that lightened up the room. Everyone relaxed a little, but you could still feel that it felt a little awkward and sad knowing that we would have to leave Forks soon.
