Chapter 2 – So Far A Good Trip
Renesmee's POV
I am so happy to finally meet my grandma Renee. I've waited for so long to meet her since I was born. I hated how my family thinks it's best that grandma sees me until I am the age I look (curse my rapid aging). At least she knows she has a granddaughter but she has no idea about what we are like grandpa Charlie does. Well not exactly, he just knows we're different. He just wants the need to know basis little by little.
Anyway, I can't wait to spend time and get to know her and I can tell that she feels the same. I'm already loving her. She acts more like a teenager than an adult. I can see what mom meant how she mostly takes care of grandma despite the age she was. Right now, we are in the passenger vans where they are taking us to grandma's house where my step-grandfather Phil is waiting for us.
"I'm sorry if there isn't enough room at our place for all of you guys to stay." Grandma Renee said from the passenger seat as she turned to us during the drive on the highway.
"Don't worry about it Renee." Grandpa Carlisle said from the back seat with mom and dad. "We already got us reservations in at a hotel near your place. We'll be staying there while Edward, Bella, Nessie and Jacob will stay with you and Phil." Grandma Renee then turned her head to me as if she picked up something and saw my hand joined with Jacob's.
"Um, Renesmee," She said.
"You can call me Nessie." I smiled.
"Right Nessie, are you and Jacob together?" Grandma Renee asked slowly.
"Yes we are!" I said happily causing Renee's eyes to go in shock.
"But isn't he like thirty?" She asked. Of course she would know that Jake is mom's best friend.
"Thirty-five actually." Jacob smiled.
"Renee, surely you know that age is nothing but a number." Grandma Esme, who is sitting on my other side, said with a smile. "I married Carlisle and I'm three years older than him." Physically. I thought.
"And mom, you married Phil and he's younger than you." Mom said with a small laugh.
"That's different though." Grandma Renee said.
"How would she react to hear that I'm eighty-six years older than your mother?" I heard daddy say to me in my head as he chuckled.
"Renee, you have to understand that Nessie and Jacob have a special connection that can't be broken no matter what and that Jacob would never do anything to hurt her. If he did, I'd kill him myself." Dad said and I turned to see him smirk.
"Yeah thanks for your support daddy." I thought sarcastically to him causing him to chuckle again.
"I get it," I turned to see Grandma Renee smiling at me and Jacob. "It's like love at first sight and you two can't bear to be away from one another." Well she's only half right unaware that Jacob imprinted on me since birth since it's a wolf thing. "I hope you two are happy together."
"We are, thanks grandma!" I smiled. Wow she took it a lot better than how Grandpa Charlie reacted.
Flashback
Renesmee at age 6 in a sixteen year old body
Jacob was driving over to Grandpa Charlie's house. Jake said that we have to tell him about us being together. I was concerned when he said for that reason is because that Charlie would find out soon. He seemed hesitant when I asked, like he was searching for an answer. Weird. When we were finally in Forks, Jake stopped in front of the little yellow house. Charlie was waiting at the porch.
"Hey, kid!" He called.
"Chief Swan!" I called him, smiling and running to hug him, in human speed. Charlie loves it when I called him that.
"Hey, Jake," Charlie said over my shoulder. Jacob just waved.
"What's wrong?" He asked as we entered the house. I gave Charlie the 'You ask him' look and pointed at Jacob. Charlie laughed at my expression.
"We, um, have to… tell you something Charlie." Jacob said. Charlie was horrified and surprised at the same time so he just nodded. "Is Sue here?" He asked and Charlie shook his head. It sounded like a relief to Jacob because I heard him let out a low sigh of relief.
"Well, –" I heard Jacob's heart beating fast. Is he okay? I just stood by his side and took his hand causing Charlie to eye us suspiciously. "Nessie and I are together… as a couple I mean."
Charlie's face went from normal to white to red then finally green which I have to comment was pretty amusing to watch but back to the reaction now. He was totally mad and felt sick. I was surprised when once he calmed down, he came by my side and took me away from Jake and held me like I was being threatened or about to get hurt.
"What, grandpa?" I asked in confusion. He looked at me and then at Jacob accusingly.
"What are you thinking?" He yelled. That's something I wasn't expecting to see. I can see where momma gets her rage when she heard Jake imprinted on me when I was a baby. "She's six and you're like, twenty-three!"
"Grandpa, do I look like I'm six?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"Well you are though and that's not even close to being legal! I may want the 'need to know' basis but not something like… something like this!" Charlie said.
"Charlie, we love each other and we're happy. Isn't that enough?" Jacob finally spoke. Charlie sighed.
"I don't know if I'll ever accept this." He muttered.
"You're not the only one who's having a hard time." Jacob said giving a small smile. "It took awhile to convince Edward not to rip my head off." I chuckled at Jake's statement.
"For once, Edward and I agree on something." Charlie muttered in amazement.
"Anyway grandpa, we just felt the need to tell you, okay? Nothing's wrong and momma and daddy are cool with it along with everyone else. So please don't be mad at us." I told him gently. He accepted it, reluctantly though, at last.
End of Flashbacks
An hour later, we soon arrived at a nice looking white house where the vans pulled over on its driveway. Everyone in our van got out and just as we did, Aunt Alice was the first one out of the other van and she has an amuse look on her face. Daddy started laughing for some reason and my unasked question was answered when Aunt Alice opened the sliding door of the van and Uncle Emmett and Uncle Jasper rolled out of the van and ending up on the ground fighting. I started laughing as I watch my two uncles wrestle around on the green grass. Soon, Lucas came out followed by Krystal, Tiffany, Lucina and Rosalie. Lucas sighed and went up to Jasper and Emmett where he stuck two fingers in his mouth and stick them in their ears causing them both to cry out in disgust from the wet willies and stop the fight.
"I am getting old breaking up idiotic fights." Lucas said in annoyance.
"But its fun watching you do that Lucas!" Lucina said with a giggle. "And for the record, being twenty-eight is not old."
"It is to me." Lucas said.
"You don't look like you're twenty-eight." Grandma Renee said to Lucas while examining his eighteen year old body.
"I get it from my mom. I'm older than how I look despite my youth appearance." Lucas lied smoothly.
"What would I give to have that?" Grandma Renee said. "I'm really not ready for these grey hairs." She said showing some strands where some grey are showing.
"What were you guys fighting about this time anyways?" Mom asked looking at Emmett and Jasper.
"You don't wanna know." Krystal said. Okay, no I don't.
"I'm telling you, Emmett and Jasper remind me a lot like Matt and Cooper in the old days." Tiffany laughed.
"Funny how Emmett and Cooper are alike in many ways." Lucas said.
"Just for the record, Jasper started it!" Emmett said as he and Jasper got up.
"Oh so it's my fault that you lost another bet with me?" Jasper asked in amusement and that's when Emmett tackled Jasper to the ground and started fighting again and Lucas decided to give up.
"And that's what you don't want to know about." Krystal said as daddy started laughing even harder. If it has something to do with Uncle Em then I really don't want to know.
"Well then, shall we all go inside?" Grandma Renee asked happily once everyone got their belongings out of the vans before they left. Once we got inside Renee's beautiful home, we were welcomed by a man who must be none other than my step grandfather Phil. He's a nice guy and fun too when he takes us to the backyard big enough to play baseball. It would be more fun if my family and I were able to use our vampire speed and power but you know how it is.
Staying over at Grandma Renee's place was fun. The only problem was eating. Luckily for us, Jake, Lucina and I can still eat (partially for us hybrids while Jacob gobbles the grub) while mom, dad and Tiffany say they're on a diet which makes sense to Renee but just so that she buys it, they took a bite of those mud. Everyone else say that wanna travel around and have lunch and dinner and such to each other on dates.
Other than that, the things we did in New York were fun. After 'exploring' for college, the whole family and I went to Central Park where we took lots and lots of pictures of us on miniature trains (I laughed at how Jake and Emmett managed to get on it), dancing to the music played by some street performers, riding a merry-go-round and more street performers where I got to juggle. My favorite photo is the one where a lot of little kids tried to climb on Emmett and Jacob due to their giant size. It's just too funny.
Anyways, after that, we went to an ice rink at Rockefeller Center where we did ice skating which is so easy to do. What's funny is seeing Jacob or Renee and Phil fall down… a lot while they struggle to stay on the ice. Renee never understood how my family and I move around so gracefully. Jacob just complains. By nightfall, we went to Times Square which is amazingly beautiful. At that place, we, Aunt Alice cough cough, did some shopping… okay, a lot of shopping, people-watching and of course watching the live performance of Katy Perry.
It was amazing but not as amazing as being with my family and of course Jacob! Jake has always been a part of my family even if we're not married although I wish we were. Renesmee Black has a nice ring to it. Oh well, a girl can dream but what matters is that Jake loves me… but not as much as I love him. This has truly been the best trip ever!
Bella's POV
The trip in New York was good and it was nice to see my mom again after so long. It's too bad that I have to say goodbye again. I sighed at the moment of hearing it. It was Sunday afternoon and we are now at the airport accompanied by Renee and Phil where they are about to see us off to return home to Forks. They walked with me and my family through the airport terminal and they walked us as far as they could go without a ticket.
"It was so great to see you again Bella." Renee cried as she pulled me into a hug.
"It was great to see you too mom." I said hugging her back. "I miss you so much."
"I miss you too Bella!" Renee said. "I love you so much." She released me and gave Edward a hug and soon did the same with everyone until she came to Nessie last.
"And I love you too Nessie!" Renee said when she and my daughter hugged each other.
"I love you too grandma!" Nessie cried as she hugged Renee even tighter, where again Renee didn't even bother with it. I saw her eyes pricking with tears and she quickly try to blink them away. Renee let go of Nessie and then went to hug me again not that I'm complaining about it.
"We hope to see you soon." I said to Renee. "You'll come for Nessie's graduation right?"
"I wouldn't miss it." Renee answered. "I will definitely see you guys soon in two weeks." I nodded and then released her. After going through goodbyes, it was time for us to get on board. We walked up to the gate and I turned to see Renee and Phil who both smiled and waved at us. I waved back and turned to board our plane. I can't wait to see her again.
"Well that was a fun trip." Jacob said as we sat down in first class again joining Edward and me with Nessie in our seats.
"I was hoping some real fun like cliff diving off the Statue of Liberty. OW!" Emmett cried when Rosalie smacked him in the head before she sat down next to him.
"One of these days Emmett, I will knock some sense into you." She teased as she kissed Emmett on the cheek.
"I wish we could've stayed longer." Nessie said sadly.
"I know you do Nessie but you have school tomorrow and Carlisle and Tiffany has work as well." Esme said.
"Yeah, I have big plans for my students." Tiffany said.
"And I need to get back to the shop. I have so much to do there plus I have to make up for patrol when we get home." Jake said.
"Yeah, we need to get some new parts, order some more motor oil, get my car an update and then have one person's car ready by tomorrow." Lucas said.
"Don't forget about Nathan and Leah's baby shower today." Krystal said.
Yeah, Leah found out she is pregnant. We were just as surprised as she was. I guess after settling her temper with the help from Nathan and not being able to phase for a few months, she regained her ability to have children. She's not the only one. Carly and Seth already has a son who is eight months old and Danielle and Embry have a daughter who was born three months ago and are now expecting baby number two.
"Don't worry Nessie. You'll see Renee very soon at graduation." Carlisle said to her making Nessie smile.
The plane soon started taking off and we were soon in the air deep in the blue cloudy skies and according to Alice, we should be having a smooth flight home. An hour has passed and all of us just sat back and relax as we wait for our arrival.
"How much longer?" Emmett complained ignoring Rosalie's slap in the head.
"Emmett, we just left the state." I said irritably.
"You kept asking that question every five minutes." Jasper said.
"Not to mention every thirty seconds in your head." Edward said in annoyance as he rubbed his temples in circles.
"Well excuse me if there's nothing to do on this plane." Emmett said.
"Does he always have to complain?" Lucina asked.
"Not all the time," Krystal said and then smirked. "He mostly complains because there's no one to pick a fight with."
"What is it with you and fighting Emmett?" Tiffany asked.
"It makes it more exciting." Emmett said.
"You want entertainment? I can give you one." Lucas said. "How about I shoot some aura spheres at your head? You did admit that they're fun."
"You wouldn't dare." Emmett said.
"I believe he would." Rosalie said with a laugh.
"May we remind you about when Lucas kicked your ass ten years ago?" Edward said and all of us minus Emmett started laughing.
"Guys, let's not cause a commotion that might risk exposing us." Carlisle calmly said so low for us to hear.
"Hey, he started it!" Emmett pointed to Lucas.
"You're the one who's complaining about nothing to do!" Lucas said to him and once again, they started arguing causing everyone to join in. Some things never change. Just then during our flight, we all stopped what we were doing when we heard Alice gasp. We all turned to see her in a familiar blank expression. Sure enough to know she's having a vision.
"Alice, what is it?" Jasper asked as Edward was startled from what he saw. That can't be good.
"Everyone, brace yourselves!" Alice said and at that moment, a loud boom struck and something caused the plane to shake.
"What's going on?" Esme asked as she held on to Carlisle and even he was surprised at what's happening. I held on tight to Edward as he did the same for me while took hold of my daughter's hand.
"What's happening?" Lucina asked in fear as Tiffany held her tightly.
"Attention, all passengers! We have experience a major difficulty to our flight due to an unexpected event! Prepare yourselves for crash landing!
I can hear all the humans in the back screaming along with an alarm going off as I could feel the plane descending very fast with each increasing speed. I closed my eyes and held on tight to await the impact of our flight landing. I know that we're immortal but I hope we will survive.
Oh boy, that wasn't part of the plan now was it? What will happen to them now? Please review.
