Never in my recent memory could I recall have I seen Jacob so petrified to see Edward. He was staring down at his feet which wasn't a action that he regularly identified with. He cleared his throat and I pulled my guard down for Edward to hear my thoughts. "Oh this is gonna be good, I am actually excited to listen to this explanation." I thought with amusement. Sometimes I wondered what my thoughts sounded like to him.
Suddenly all of our attention was diverted to the front door being swung open.
"Alice what are you doing here? I thought you and Rose were in NYC picking up your new Chanel handbags?" I asked genuinely shocked to see my sister in law.
" We were Rose is dropping them off at our houses. I on the other hand had a vision and hell and high water could not keep me from seeing Edwards reaction to this in person." She had the whitest and brightest smile on her face.
"Really Alice…..you are such a smart ass" It was very few and far between when Edward would swear but normally when he did Alice or Emmett were on the other end of it. It also usually came out as more of a term of endearment then explicative.
"Well anywho, forget me get on with the show!" Her voice rang out. "It's times like these I wish I were human so I could eat some popcorn and watch it play out like a movie." She chimed in one last time directing her statement to Ness.
With that it seemed we all put our focus back on the issue at hand.
"So care to explain all the rule breaking that seems to be going on tonight" I said with a light heartedness that didn't quit match my hard expression.
"Mom you have to understand…..I mean you cant be mad at me. Be mad at Jake he was the one that caused all of this to happen by imprinting on me when I was a baby."
"Are you serious?" Jake said looking absolutely astounded that she would say such a thing.
"Well she does bring up a good case for herself with that one, and even I didn't see that one coming. Score 1 to nothing Nessie." Edward and I both shot Alice a look that could kill for her comment
"Enough peanut gallery" Edward shot back.
" Ok listen I'm speaking for myself here but all I know is that I got a call from her telling me that she can feel the power of us and that she needs me in ways she had never thought before. The minute I heard that I was here. She told me I couldn't come up to her room because of the rules. But really Bella, you and Edward had sleepovers in your room for over a year and Charlie never knew."
It really pissed me off to know that Jacob felt he could use my past to get out of this "indiscretion."
"I wanna know why you feel you have a right to go against mine and Edwards wishes. That's what I wanna know. I don't care what I did or what you think is right. I have a half a mind to show you how irritated and pissed off that made me." Edward grabbed my hand to hold me back. As if that could stop me. I was still the strongest in the family, a theory Emmett and I test out on a weekly basis.
" Bella don't be irrational about this"
"You know what you keep talking Alice and I will have to rethink you being my favorite sister in law."
"There is no need to be mean." She harrumphed.
"Listen mom I love him." Nessie glanced at Jacob and smiled. " I do. He was so patient waiting for me to come around and see it. You all knew for years that one day I would realize just what this man means to me and I finally have. I just wish you and dad could be happy for me because honestly I couldn't be happier. Please don't ruin this for me because he is my first love and only love. I wouldn't change that for the world."
She seemed so dead set in her feelings for him and all it took was her glace that she stole with him to know that this was it for her. It was the same way that I still look at Edward, and a love that strong and powerful is something that I can whole heartedly understand. Taking a quick peak at my husband it seemed that he might be thinking that same thing.
" Well I don't think you we can argue with that." with that statement from Edward her face lit up. "However, we expect that the two of you will use your digression and enter into this new relationship slowly. Lastly please keep your thoughts in check. I am a father and no matter how you feel about each other I am not going to sit idle while you to have thoughts that could make me wanna turn you into a nun."
With that he nodded at the two of them waiting for a response.
"I appreciate your giving us a chance together and we will try very hard to respect your wishes." It was amazing how Jacob was finally speaking like the man he was.
"Well this is boring" Alice said with a fake yawn. "I think I am gonna head home and coordinate some new outfits for the next months. Just to get a jump on things because that cant be nearly as boring as this fight was." She stopped and thought for a moment. She seemed genuinely frustrated. Sensing my thoughts she spoke up. "I just thought that this fight would be so much more entertaining. I'm really let down. God, it was so much better in my head."
"Alice that's because you're a drama queen and probably saw what you wanted to see in your head." Edward spat.
"Since I am not appreciated here and some people" glancing at Edward "feel the need to be rude I am really gonna leave. Congrats Nessie." With that she was gone.
I looked up from the floor to give the last of my instruction before heading to mine and Edwards wing of the house. " Listen we are gonna allow this but you are not permitted to sleep over yet Jacob. You will need to earn mine and Edwards trust for that since this is a new territory for all of us. Lastly should you try anything funny over night I will have you neutered."
With that I grabbed Edwards hand and led to way to the stair case. I smiled and kissed him knowing that it was gonna be a long and exciting night for us, especially with all this pent up aggression. "We will deal with this tomorrow ok? For tonight its just you and me."
"God I love you" He smiled and spoke as he rushed off to our wing of the upstairs.
