Chapter Two: Falling Asleep and Waking Up

How long does it take to buy groceries? Renesmee and Jacob had been at Vons for five hours now. We were all back at the house. Carlisle was getting the equipment I used to deliver Renesmee, just in case. Alice was waiting for our future to disappear which meant they had made the decision to come home.

"Alice," I asked anxiously.

"Our future is still very clear," Alice said smiling.

Edward was over in the corner, stuck in a fetal position sucking his thumb muttering, "no matter how far I run I can't escape their thoughts…"

Emmet and Rosalie were cracking jokes, bad jokes while Jasper had his hand on my back. He'd tried to calm Edward too but it didn't work.

Esme was planning the baby shower. At this rate I'd be a grandmother of ocutplets.

Edward was now muttering, "In a deep, dark, roomy, supply closet where no one can hear them…"

If Jasper weren't calming me I'd be going over to Vons and ripping off Jacob's throat. Then again, I don't really want to see Jacob or Renesmee right now. My shield can't reach them so Edward has to suffer.

"Bella do you think it will be a boy or girl," asked Esme.

"At this rate they'll be boys and girls," I snapped.

"Oh my God here they come," Alice screamed. We all cheered.

"Oh never mind," Alice said sighing. We all groaned.

October, November, December, January……..

Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does, even for me.

"Here they come," Alice screamed. We all jumped up as Jake and Nessie walked through the door, Nessie's stomach was huge.

"Did you get the groceries," Esme asked eyes huge.

"No we left them in the supply closet, or what's left of them at least," Renesmee explained.

"How could you two do this," Edward screamed.

"I'm sorry," Renesmee shouted. "I'm late for school!"

"Yeah four fucking months late," Edward yelled.
