Chapter 2: Worries.
"Did you like my dream?,, Nessie asked for the 10th time.
"I loved it sweetheart.,, I said. I had my shield down, and had private conversation with Edward. I didn't know how Renesmee could have a dream about Isle Esme, which looked exactly like it, when she hadn't even seen it.
"I don't know love. Ask her.,, he whispered, at my thought. We were headed for the main house, where they were discussing our move to New Hampshire. I remembered the day we had told Jacob that we were moving.
"WHAT? You are moving, and you thought you would keep me out of it, until it was absolutely necessary right?,,
"Of course not Jake, I-,, I started to say but he cut me off.
"You know what, I thought you cared for me Bella.,, Jacob said.
"I do, but if you would just let me finish my senten-,, but he cut me off again.
"Then why the heck, are you taking Nessie away from me? HUH?,, he yelled at me.
"Jake, SHUT UP!,, I yelled back. "Let me finish.,,
"But-,,he started
"Aah-aah, keep your mouth shut.,, I warned him.
I tried again. "Jake, we are moving to new Hampshire, because, 1: everyone here in Forks are getting suspicious and 2: Edward, Alice; Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett and I are starting on Dartmouth.,, I said. "We actually wanted to ask you if you, Seth, Leah, Quil and Embry wanted to come, but you kinda look like you aren't that thrilled about the thought of moving so-,, I trailed off.
Jacobs whole face lit up, as soon as I said wanted to ask if you….
"Oh, really?,, he yelled, this time with excitement.
"Uhm, yeah.,, I said.
"Really? That's just fantastic! Oh my gosh this is so nice of you! Thank you so much Bella. I can't believe it, you actually want me to go with you guys?,,
Then we had heard a little snort from upstairs. Rosalie.
"Oh, thanks Blondie!,, Jake yelled to her.
A higher snort.
Well I guess something never changes.
"I can't wait to tell the others. Thanks again Bella, this really means a lot to me. But now you have to excuse me, I gotta phase. His whole face was glowing with the smile of excitement.
"Just remember to say that this is a free offer. If they don't want to go with us, they can stay here.,, I actually only thought of one whom might didn't want to go- Leah.
Jake knew my face well. "Don't worry about Leah.,, he said. "She knows she is free to do what she want.,,
Edward's velvet voice made me come back to reality.
"You are far away, love!,, he said.
"Oh, just like you were this morning?,, I teased.
"Haha yah probably.,, he grinned.
"I was actually just thinking about the day we told Jake that we are moving.,, I said with a huge smile on my face at the memory.
"Hah, yah he kind of did look funny.,, he smiled with me.
We were now at the main house, and Alice stood in front of the door, her whole pixie face sparkling with happiness. "Bella, finally you have learned how to use your closet.,, She ran to me, and hugged me tightly. "Yeah, thank you again for the cloths.,, I said, with real feeling this time.
"Auntie Alice!,, Nessie always sounded happy when she saw her aunt.
"Hi Nessie, what's up?,, Alice asked.
"Not so much. Can I have some bloodcakes please?,, she asked and her eyes sparkled with pleading.
Bloodcakes were something Edward and I once had tried to make her eat. To our big surprise, she just loved it. It was a pancake recipe, only with blood instead of milk. This way, she got what she needed. Even though she didn't like it very much, she had to have human food to survive. She couldn't only live on liquid food. So we thought of bloodcakes to make her see that you actually could mix the donated blood with human food.
It was only a plus, that she liked bloodcakes so much.
Alice grinned. "Of course Nessie, I'll go make it for you.,, she said. I just smiled.
Inside, everyone was doing something. Rosalie and Emmett had a "fight" about which TV-show to watch. Jasper just sauntered around, humming to himself. Carlisle sat at the dinner table, making something about our move. Esme had her head bowed over some drawings of our new houses. Now and then she, Alice, Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper would go to New Hampshire to build or renovate on the houses we were going to live in. It would be a nice place.
We had a little surprise for Renesmee, we would build a pool in the back yard, for her (and the rest of us for that matter, but mostly for her) to play in, and Edward and I were going to teach her how to swim. We would be living about 40 miles away from Dartmouth, but it wasn't going to be a problem, when we had fast cars and didn't tolerate slowness as vampires.
But even though I looked forward to live there, I had some fears for my daughter as well as myself and my family. What if someone knew we were not humans? Or what if someone found out that we weren't? Or if someone would try to make a move on me, then how would Edward take it? Of course there'd be no competition AT ALL, but still, I knew what kind of affect vampires had on humans. We all looked, well, GORGEUS to them. And even worse what if some girl, tried to make a move on Edward? How would I handle it? Would I lose my self-control and rip the poor girl's head of? Or would I some other way reveal what we were? I had no experienced on that hand, and I was afraid, that I would ruin our move because of my lack of experience.
Jasper eyed me. "What's wrong Bella?,, he asked. "Oh, I was just thinking about our move, that's all.,, I said. "You were totally filled with different feelings, it sort of confused me how much you felt at once.,, he half laughed. I smiled. "It's my first move, and I don't know what to expect.,, I explained. "Aaah,, he said. "Don't worry about it, it will be fine,, he reassured me.
Edward leaned down and kissed my hair. Alice then entered the room, with Nessie's bloodcakes. "Here you go honey.,, she sang. And Renesmee happily went on board the plate.
"Hey Bella, you wanna come with us to new Hampshire this evening to see things?,, Alice asked.
"Uhm, sure,, I answered. I looked forward to the move, and seeing things before it were done would be fantastic. It would be fun to watch vampires work on something in very inhuman speed, and see a building rise from the ground on no time.
As the day went by, we had nothing to do. Carlisle had gone to work, after receiving an emergency-call from the hospital. He would work on the hospital in New Hampshire, so that wouldn't be a problem.
Esme would be working in a renovate-company, and the rest of us would go to school, Nessie would be home with Jake since he's soon going to graduate from high school in La Push. He was a great Nanny!
Emmett was bored and asked me to arm-wrestle with him. Just to keep him happy and entertained I said yes, and followed him to our arm-wrestle-place, where he would lose. Again! Since I'm still a new born with all its benefits, I would easily take him down. I enjoyed this really much, because he is such a bad loser. So after I beat his ass –again- we decided to fight. We circled around each other playfully and tried to read each other's next move. There was just one thing, Emmett didn't know, and that was that I had trained a little if we would ever face the volturi again. See I searched on the internet and found this interesting website. There were a lot of things I could use. I even asked Jasper for help. When I told him, it was for me to take down Emmett easier he was all in for it.
So I trained secretly and all Emmett knew, was that I only had my new born strength, that wouldn't last forever. All I could say was that I think he was wrong about that.
So I searched the woods for something that might be able to be used to my benefit. Behind Emmett some trees stood, and I might be able to hide for a while and then jump up in the tree, and surprise him by pin him down as I jumped down on him. That probably would work.
When we had half circled around again, and Emmett stood with his back to the trees, I crouched and zoomed around him. My move took him by surprise, so he just stood still for a moment.
"Aww, come on Bella. I thought you'd like to have an opportunity to test your strength. Don't stop the game now, it has just gotten fun.,, he sounded regretful. I half giggled, and when he heard that he whirled around, and I jumped up in the tree before he would notice me. He started walking towards my hiding-place and when he was near enough I threw myself at him. That he didn't expect, so when I hit him, and pinned him to the ground his eyes were bugging wide with surprise. I laughed hardly at his expression, but didn't loosen my grip. He would have to wrestle himself free. And that was just the way he wanted it. He couldn't take it when I let him win.
"You really think I'd give up that easily? Especially when I'm still stronger than you?,, I playfully growled at him. I heard him mutter: "Stronger than me, HA,, under his breath. But there was no way he could get around it; I was stronger than him.
I let him wrestle for another couple of minutes, until I got a little bored. I let him go, and to my big joy, he complained and said: "Aww come on, I nearly had you!,,
"HA, yeah right, you were NO where near to get me down.,, I laughed at him.
He scowled at me. "Rematch, tomorrow.,,
"Fine by me, get ready to lose, AGAIN!, haha!,, I laughed even harder.
When we got inside, everybody was laughing and stared at me in amazement.
"Wow Bella, I never seen a trick like that before.,, Jasper said. I smiled and when Emmett just starting muttering stuff like: "Ha, 'get ready to lose' she can only wait for it, I'll get her down!,, The others just rolled around on the floor howling with laughter. Jacob then entered the room, and asked what is so funny, then Edward explained Emmett's defeat, and he too was rolling on the floor laughing his ass off!
Emmett was in a tricky mood the rest of the day, and kept making stupid jokes about Edward and me. At the end I just asked Edward: "Honey, is it possible for vampires to lose their memory?,,
"Because I think Emmett must have forgot the deal we made when I First kicked his ass in arm-wrestling! Or maybe I was too harsh with him today,, I laid a pressure on the word 'first' and 'harsh'. That he laughed at.
"Maybe I should refresh his memory.,, And then I asked Renesmee to show her uncle Emmett my first arm-wrestling-match with him, in every detail. I couldn't help laugh at his expression when he saw, what I had told Nessie to show him. It was like a dark shadow covered his face at the reminder.
"Thanks for the help, sweetie,, I said to her.
"Any time, mom,, she answered. Smiling a big tooth-showing smile.
So when Emmett didn't have any other choices than sitting scowling all day, play cards with Alice (and there was no way he would do that, since she always won) and watching a boring baseball game he chose the TV and screamed a little at it with Jake.
By the time 2 or 3 matches were done Jacob said he had to go home and study, since his exam was just about 2 weeks from now.
When he left, it was time for Renesmee to have some food. So I made her meatloaf and gave her a cup of donated blood aside. She might didn't like human food, but when it were meat, it went down a little easier.
When Nessie was tucked in, Alice came to me, asking if I still wanted to go.
"Yeah of course,, I said and I really looked forward to it.
We took the cars, since it would be faster than running, since a big part of the way was a freeway so there weren't any forest to hide in. If we had ran we would have to take a major detour. Not fun!
When we got to the houses, I couldn't help it: I had to gasp. It was a very beautiful, magical but HUGE meadow, absolutely adorable. They already had 2 houses finished and waiting for someone to move in it. I didn't know what to do or how to do it, so I just sat on the ground until Rose and Alice came to me.
"What are you doing? Why are you just sitting there on the ground, doing nothing? We didn't bring you here so you could just relax!,, Alice said sourly, but I could see that she was just teasing.
Then Rosalie spoke: "Wouldn't you like to help us?,, she asked.
"Yeah, but I don't know how to?,, my uncertainty made it a question.
"You know, it's kind of easy, when you have Esme as a director.,, Alice comforted. But I knew that Alice also had a BIG part in what was done here. I got to my feet, and let them lead me to the construction site. Esme said that I could help her since I didn't know what to do. She was always so helpful and sweet to me. I smiled at her.
When we first got moving, it became very fun actually. We worked on the main house that would be in the middle of the meadow. It would have 2 stories and it would be here Carlisle and Esme would stay as they did in Forks. We made the whole first story before the moon slowly went down, and the sun started to rise. I got in my Ferrari, Emmett and Rosalie was with me too. Even though I loved Emmett as the caring big brother he was, I had to say, he was every bit as annoying as a big brother would be. Maybe even worse. All the way home –even with me driving almost the fastest the car could manage, he had a ton of jokes to say. It was stuff like: "too bad you missed a whole night of study with Edward,, and "I thought you were supposed to be wild since you're still a new born.,, Oh my God was he annoying! I would have to give him another reminder. Damn! I chose to stay calm and quiet and ignoring him, just like Rose did. It lasted all the way home, and I was proud of me not ripping his head off. I would have to give him the reminder and a good hiding. I went straight to cottage because Renesmee wouldn't be up in another couple of hours. Edward was waiting with a huge grin on his face on the bed.
"So how was it? The new house?,, he asked while kissing me, as I already laid next to him.
"It was amazing. And kind of fun.,, I said. I knew my concentration wouldn't last that much longer. "We worked on Carlisle and Esme's house, the main house! We got the first story all fixed up. And there is so beautiful there.,, that was it, now I lost it, and the rest of the morning there weren't any talking.
