Chapter 1
POV: Bella
I suppose I should start off by catching you up on everything that has happened to us in the past 15 years. Well as you know I'm Bella Cullen. I still can't help the smile that spreads across my face when I say that. Edward and I are happily married (as I'm sure you know) and Renesmee is now 15 and has the body of a teenager which she will be keeping for the rest of her existence. She and Jake are still a couple, Jake keeping up with his morphing so that he can pass to be the same age of Renesmee. Jasper, Alice, Emmett, Rosalie, Carlisle, and Esme are still with us. Though we have some new family as well, Seth, Embry, and Jake have been living and moving around with us for the past 15 years, Jake refusing to leave Renesmee, and his friends sticking by him all the way.
We now live in the wonderful place of rainy Tutunendo, Colombia. Carlisle is taking place as a highly respected doctor in the hospital here, and we have all posed as freshmen. Today is that start of our second week at Tutunendo High School. We've gotten a couple of weird stares but, Embry suggested that we try to make more friends, that way people won't be as suspicious. I told him I didn't want to get attached to friends I was going to have to leave. Embry then agreed to be an outcast. I was jumping for joy on the first day of school at being an official Cullen outcast. To make our relationship public Edward switched over to being a Hale for a while, with Rosalie and Jasper. We agreed to take turns alternating between being Cullen and Hale at each new school. Jake, Seth, and Embry are all Blacks.
Now that you're all sped up….
"Being the new kids is always fun, don't you think Bella?" Alice asked me. We were making our way to lunch and getting quite a few stares.
"I wouldn't know Alice, this is my first time being the new kid, besides back at Forks, and there I hated being the new kid." Alice nodded her head remembering "I bet it'll get better as it goes on." We entered the Cafeteria and saw Edward and Jasper sitting at our table talking about our next – hopefully soon – baseball game.
Edward's face lit up when I walked toward him. "Bella how was class?" I sat down next to him, as Alice did to Jasper, and he wrapped his arm around my waist.
"Boring, though I'm glad Alice is there with me. I don't what I would do if we weren't able to pass notes." Edward smirked and dazzled me, which I was never able to get over.
I heard someone laugh as they were walking up to us, and by the smell I could tell it was wolf. I turned my head to see Embry walking toward us with a girl on his arm. I looked over at Edward and his jaw tightened. "What's she thinking?" I whispered so low that only the Vampires in the room could hear.
"She likes him, it seems like it's just a crush…" Edward paused to gather more thoughts "She's scared of coming over here and sitting with us."
Great, so now Embry planned to have her sit with us. Sometimes I just don't understand what's going through that boy's head! He had agreed to lay low. The expression on my face must have reflected my thought when Edward said "He doesn't plan to give anything away, he just wants to have fun and date. He never got much time to do that back in Forks. I think maybe he's right, we should have some fun, take a little break. After all, we've been so tense for the past few years. We all need to relax."
Embry, and the girl he was with reached our table. I put on a smile, not wanting to scare the girl, and tried my best to act friendly. "Bella, Edward, Jasper, Alice, this is Tina. Tina, this is Alice, Jasper, Edward, and Bella." Tina smiled and waved. Embry looked pleased. Maybe he should have some fun, Edward was right we all needed it.
Alice was the first to speak up "Tina, that's a kool name. Do you like to shop?" Tina nodded her head furiously "Oh. My. Gosh." Alice pulled Tina down next to her and Embry followed next to Tina.
I smiled up at Edward as it started to thunder. "Alice?" She turned her head and raised an eyebrow. "Do you think we'll be able to play some ball tonight?" It turned out I still wasn't any good at baseball, even as a vampire. So, I was in charge of making sure it was a fair game.
Jasper immediately looked out at the sky and smirked. "If so, you're going down Edward."
Alice, to any human would seem to be deep in thought, but we all knew she was having a vision. "Tonight will be perfect. But you better watch out for Jake." Alice's visions have adjusted to having Wolves around. We all laughed. Tina really didn't know what we were talking about and, I felt bad that she wasn't included. I knew she couldn't go to the game, but I tried to elaborate a little bit.
"Jake is a known cheater, seeing as how he's so competitive." Tina seemed to get it and laughed a little.
Emmett entered the cafeteria and laughed when he noticed Tina sitting with us. "Got a girlfriend Embry?" He said after sitting down next to me.
Tina blushed and Emmett and I busted out laughing. It was an inside thing between us. Every time we saw someone blush Emmett would always say to me 'Remember those human years?' and we would always laugh.
"Emmett, Bella, why do you two laugh at that?" Embry wasn't in on the joke and we couldn't tell him with Tina right there.
Emmett responded first "Nothing, just it reminds me of Bella when people blush. You remember how the littlest thing could make her so red." Embry seemed to be drifting back down memory lane "Then Edward would always look at her and smirk. Those were the days."
"You can relive your glory days later Emmett, when we're playing baseball" Alice commented pulling Tina back in to their earlier conversation about dresses for the upcoming dance.
"BASEBALL?!?" Emmett exclaimed rather loudly, receiving stares from other kids in the room. "Tonight," he looked at the sky and smiled a huge smile "is definitely a good night for baseball. Remember way back when, we were playing, and then-"
He was cut off by Edward "Yeah, we all remember and that's not going to happen again." I could only assume Emmett was thinking about the thing that started, pretty much everything, James, Laurent, and Victoria.
The bell rang for lunch to end and we all got up from our seats and went to our next classes. Mine was with Emmett in Spanish. I don't know why he's taking it again seeing as he took it back in Forks. Then again, it has been 15 years, he probably forgot with everything going on.
"Bella, can I ask you a question?" Emmett said to me while we were walking to class. A lot of girls were looking up at him and smiling flirtatiously.
"Of course Emmett, anything you need." He looked down at his shoes as we were walking. I could tell he was embarrassed and that only made me scared. There are very little things that can embarrass Emmett.
"Well, see, Rose has been dressing up for certain occasions…" I didn't really get what he was hinting at so, I raised an eyebrow at him "for when we're um….getting it on." Ohhhh… "I was wondering if I should, you know, follow suit."
"First off Emmett, I have officially learned way too much about your personal life. Second of all, I think I can help. Only because, you're my brother and I owe you." Emmett smiled and I continued "What were you thinking of dressing up as?"
"Well, I was thinking you could help me figure out something that would turn her on." We reached the door to Spanish and continued our conversation when we got inside, not caring if we were speaking English and not Spanish.
"Yeah, I can help you with that. Just keep in mind that you owe me BIG TIME for this. That means, playing fair tonight. Also…Keeping an eye on Jake and Nessie for a month." I still hated that nickname but, I gave in to it anyways.
"Yes, of course! Thank you Bella! You have no idea what this means to me!" He hugged me and I hugged him back. As strange as this favor was I had a feeling it could be fun.
Class started, and we tried to pay attention but, that was a failed attempt. My mind kept filtering back to Edward. I don't think I'll ever get enough of him. He and Nessie had History right now. I hope he tells her about the baseball game.
Spanish was our last class of the day so we all met u at the cars in the parking lot. When I saw Nessie I gave her a hug. I hated not being able to be with her all day. I was used to being around her all the time. It's so hard to pose as her sister.
"Mom, how was your day? Dad told me about the baseball game tonight. I really hope we get to play. Can I be on Jake's team?" As shocking as it may seem, Nessie has turned into a chatterbox, with normal 15 year old wants. It over joys me to see her like that, having a semi-normal life, and having regular teenage thoughts, it really is amazing. I think she learned most of it from Alice.
"It was good sweetie, how was yours? I really don't know though, it depends on who's playing and what not." Nessie took that as a yes and smiled. She climbed into Jakes truck with Seth and Embry. I don't understand how she can bare the smell of three wolves in a confined space.
Rosalie, Alice and Jasper all got in the very expensive convertible. I still feel weird about how much money we all have. Emmett and Rose are in a little disagreement. I have yet to find out what it's about, but I have a feeling that the favor I'm doing for Emmett may have something to do with it.
When the three of us got into the car Emmett sat in the driver's seat, Edward sat shot gun, and I sat in the back. "Emmett, what's the deal with you and Rose?" I had to ask.
"Do you remember that favor I asked you earlier?" I nodded my head and he saw it in the rear view mirror "Well, she thinks that our sex-life is dull. So I need a way to turn her on."
Edward started shivering and got a weird look on his face "Emmett, enough with the thoughts, not kool man, not kool at all." I started laughing. Poor Edward was faced with having to see all of that. He'll be scared for life.
I looked out the window and saw we were pulling up to the hospital. "Why are we at the hospital?" I inquired.
"Carlisle 'sent' me a thought and told me to get everyone here." Edward responded. I shrugged and got out of the car. Edward put his arm around my waist and we walked into the hospital. We went straight to Carlisle's office and saw Esme, Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Nessie, Jake, Seth, and Embry spread out across the office. Carlisle was sitting at his desk with his head in his hands.
Edward and I sat down next to Alice and Jasper on the couch. Carlisle stood up from his place at his desk and started to speak. "Everyone, we have a problem."
