The next morning, we had our weekend planned. Carlisle and Esme were going stay in London, Carlisle's birth town and Esme's favorite place to visit. Alice and Jasper had planned to go to Las Vegas. Jasper loves to gamble, and Alice would be there to make sure they brought home a few bucks. Emmett and Rosalie were already on their way to another honeymoon, in Peru.
The first thing I did was call my father. He would obviously know all the Cullen's were leaving town, and would want to have a reason .
"We're all going to LA." I explained. "Esme found this beautiful mountain, and we're all going camping"
"Good for you guys" Charlie said, in a good mood. "Sue and I are going to Niagara Falls, so we wouldn't be around anyway"
"That's great! I hope you have a good time"
Charlie chuckled "We will. Hey, have you talked to your mom recently"
I froze "Not since January. Why?"
"Um….uh…." Charlie stuttered. "I was just curious."
This reminded my of the last problem I had. The problem I would be forced to face when I returned. My mother.
I had not seen Renee since the wedding, and I had not spoken to her since new years. Although the distance made my happy because she was safe, the feeling wasn't mutual. Renee had been very concerned about the distance, but I assured her everything was okay. I would love to see her again, to know that she was happy. But I just can't see her being overjoyed about the new me, and with a granddaughter included, even worse. I was worried about her reactions. What she would think, how she would feel. She could never keep up with the supernatural like Charlie could.
The gossip about the Cullen's leaving town spread. Sam eventually, found out, and asked to speak with us. I went with Jacob to represent my family.
"We're just going to Brazil on a family vacation" I assured Sam. "We won't be gone long, just for the weekend. We're visiting some old friends."
Sam could obviously tell I wasn't telling him something. "And you plan to take Jacob with you as well?"
"Yes. For Renesmee's safety"
"Alright. Will you need anyone to flank you?"
"No. I think we're all set"
"Your pack will be assigned a vacation while you're gone" Sam said to Jacob.
Sam offered his hand. I shook it.
Jacob's pack was excited. He had been training the new members, who were still very young. They weren't considered members of his pack yet, because they were still in training. I thought it was very sweet of Jacob to volunteer to help the little ones.
"Vacation? No way!"
"It's about time"
"Thanks Jake!"
"Who will protect the tribe?"
"How long will you be gone?"
"Sam's got it all taken care of" Jacob said "And I'll only be gone just for the weekend."
"We'll miss you" One of the youngest members said
"He'll be back soon, guys" I told them "I promise"
They all stared at me with wide eyes, some full of wonder, some full of terror. As we went back into the house to gather our things, Edward heard Jacob's thoughts.
"They really had a reaction to Bella, didn't they?" Edward asked.
Jacob chuckled "You had to be there. She was all sweet, trying to reassure them and their all like whoa!"
"I think their afraid of me" I chuckled. The three of us burst into laughter.
Then Renesmee came out of her room with the most adorable pink suitcase.
"Ready, sweetie?" I asked her. She nodded.
We proceeded out the door and into the Volvo. Edward darted out to me when my hand was about to about the door
"Where are you going?" He asked as if I was being stupid.
"In the car, so we can go to the airport?"
"That's right! I forgot to tell you. We're not going to the airport"
"Then how are we going to get to Brazil?"
"By that." Edward pointed to the sky.
He pointed at a jet in the air that was about to land in the middle of woods. I gasped, surprised.
"You guys have your own private jet?" Jacob asked, excited.
"Amazing, isn't it?" Edward winked
"Wow" Renesmee said.
Emmett wooed. As the plane landed, Carlisle jumped out.
"We thought you'd like to travel a different way" He said with a grin.
We all froze. Alice jumped out. "What are you waiting for? Come inside!"
I held Renesmee's hand as we headed inside. The exterior was a shiny, pearl white with a blue outline and glossy, clean windows. The Cullen's were extremely luxurious when it came to extravagant needs.
But this time they really went overboard.
The interior was decked out in brown leather. Recliners overcrowded the first half of the jet, while couches crowded the next. The third half included a table, couch, and a plasma screen that had to be more than 40 inches. On the ceiling were bright circle lights. Pillows were placed on each piece of furniture. In the back was a small door that led to a bedroom with a full size bed, two more recliners, and a small storage place. To the right of the storage place was a small restroom.
"Oh my gosh! This is incredible!" was all I could squeal
"It's beautiful!" Renesmee said
"You guys like it?" Alice asked
"How could someone not like this?" Jacob explained
Alice and Edward smiled. Emmett sat by the table, watching the flat screen. Jasper was reading a book on the recliner, with Esme and Rosalie across from him. They all smiled.
"We saved the room in the back just for you" Emmett teased. I glared back
"Come on. Now's not the time to hasty….Emmett!" Alice growled.
"Hey, whatever it takes"
Edward interrupted us "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for flying air Cullen this beautiful day..." He said in the microphone. "Please relax, take a seat so we can get in the air!"
Renesmee, Jacob and I took a seat on one of the couches. Esme and Alice came to sit across from us. Renesmee giggled. Rosalie and Esme smiled at us.
Then we heard loud gushes of wind. Then we realized we were now in the air. Renesmee watched out the window with excitement in her eyes. This was her first time on any kind of plane.
We all wooed. Emmett and Edward laughed at my silliness.
"Whatever it takes, right Emmett?" I said sarcastically.
He rolled his eyes. Before we knew it, we could see the entire city of Forks.
"Momma, look!" Renesmee screamed. "It's Grandpa's house!"
"Isn't it cool?!" I asked her. I was so glad she was having fun.
"There's La Push" Jacob said.
"And there's Seattle" Renesmee told him
As they were pointing out places, I couldn't stop looking at Edward. He was in the seat next to Carlisle, who was flying the plane with him. In that moment, it all hit me.
Edward had more money than any Hollywood actor. He could run faster than any of the Cullen's. He had the ability to read everyone's thoughts but mine. He left me just to make sure I was safe and to try to give me a better life. He chose to be the good guy. He chose me even when I was a weak, fragile human. He was always there for me, whether I was in danger, or sick, or pregnant or just fine. He gave me immortality, he gave me his love, and best of all, he gave me a daughter.
There was nobody in the world that could compete with Edward. He was too smart, too beautiful, and he was all mine.
He smiled back at me. I then realized that Edward was the reason why I was here right now. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here. He made me happy. He made my eyes fill with love every time I looked at him. He made me who I am.
