Chapter 2
Ok basically I have writers block really badly right now so this chapter could be quite bad but I don't know cos I don't know what all you people think……………………….anyway, hopefully it should be quite funny.
Edwards POV
"Ooooooooh! A surprise! YAY!" Alice squealed
"Eh?" Emmett said
"What are we going to do?" Bella asked. She always did want to know exactly what was going on.
"We're going camping. In Alaska." Carlisle said
're going Camping. Ugh.
I quickly scanned through Alice's mind, but she was already too busy thinking about which clothes to wear. Typical. Rose was not much different. Jacob was already thinking about the different kind of foods you could eat there, and Emmett wasn't really thinking, which didn't surprise me much either, after the 30 cans of beer he drank. I don't know why he wanted to drink that, as he was just going to have to bring it up later to avoid a very painful belly, but apparently he enjoyed getting drunk a lot.
"Nice." Alice said half – heartedly
"Woo." Rose said sarcastically, not even trying to hide her disappointment.
"We're all going to carry all the things we want ourselves, like a tent, beds, chairs and all that kind of thing, for a trek through the forests there."
"Is there any possible way we can just run it all and go back home in a few hours?" Rosalie suggested
"No. we're all going to walk it as we're going to see the Denali coven. Though it's been about ten years since Irini died, they're still mourning so I felt we should go over there and see how they're doing. I hear Eleazar and Kate really want to see you again now that you're all grown up, Renesmee." Carlisle said
"I've told you so many times before, it's NESSIE!" she said
Jacob grinned at Nessie forcing Carlisle to use her nickname. I didn't mind her using that nickname any more and neither did Bella, as we'd all accepted Jacob into the family now and gotten over our past arguments. He definitely still stinks very badly though.
"Ok, ok Nessie. But the last time they saw you was when you were only still a few months old, and they haven't seen you since." Carlisle said
"I don't even remember them so that could be quite interesting……….." Nessie trailed off.
"Don't worry. They should probably realise that." Jacob said comfortingly
"Ok then kids; pack your bags and everything. Remember, it will be quite cold weather. I know you won't really feel it, but I don't want people in the airport or fellow hikers staring at us because you're wearing clothes suitable for Caribbean temperatures. I want you back here and ready in 2 hours." Carlisle said
"Only two hours! I can't pack bags in that time!" Alice complained
"Well you have to. And if you don't, you're going to have to hike around with no tent or anything, as we're leaving at two to Mike's shop to get some tents and equipment." Carlisle replied
"Fine then." Alice grumbled
I looked through Jacob's head, and saw some incoherent thoughts about Nessie that I didn't really want to look at much longer. I knew they were just as passionately in love as the rest of us, but she was still my daughter.
"Jacob, will you please not think things like that about my daughter when I'm here." I said angrily
"Well it's not my fault you can see inside my head. I bet you think about your wife in that way sometimes too, and I can't do anything about the fact that you go around sneaking into people's minds." He replied
Unfortunately I just couldn't get out of his head now, and he sneaked an evil grin at me and started thinking even more graphic thoughts about things he could do with Nessie in a tent………………
"Jesus Christ man! What's your problem!" I said even more angrily
Thankfully Bella slipped her shield around Jacob's head, a talent which she had now completely mastered. She could even completely take it off herself and put it around someone else with almost no effort at all, and I was very thankful for it today.
"Thank you darling." I said, and started kissing her
"Well, you should probably all go and pack your bags now." Esme rudely interrupted. I was pissed that I couldn't kiss Bella, but it was true that we had to go and pack our bags.
"Well, let's go then." Bella said
"Sure." I said, and we ran back to our cottage. We got the packing done fairly quickly, which surprised me a lot as Alice had converted her almost immediately to her clothes – obsessed ways.
"Well, we're all done." I said
"Hmmm. We've got so many coats and jumpers and things like that. Can't we bring some dresses? Or maybe shorts or something like that?"
"I preferred you so much when you were human and didn't care about how you looked." I teased.
"I guess that's a no then. I've got to say this jumper is very nice. And that coat is GORGEOUS!" She said
"You're so shallow. I was kind of looking forward having one woman I the house who wasn't completely obsessed." I said
"Well, you're just going to have to live with it."
I looked into Alice's head, where she was have a mental battle on whether to bring her Dolce & Gabbana coat or her Prada coat.
"Take the one from Prada, Alice." I shouted to the house
"Thanks Edward!" She shouted back
She sent me a mental image of 3 full bags, all packed with stuff, and then took me through what was in all of them
"That's a lot of stuff Alice. You do know you're going to have to carry all that with you as well as a tent and all that stuff." I shouted
"Yeah. It's fine." She shouted
"It's been two hours. We should probably get back now." Bella pointed out. We ran back to the house where everyone was waiting.
"I haven't seen Mike since High School. I wonder if he still remembers us." Esme said
"Yeah, he does. He sent us an invite for his wedding, remember." Rose said
"Well. Let's go." Carlisle said
We had to take the cars to Forks, as it would be a bit weird if we showed up with no cars, and a lot of camping gear to carry. We finally arrived after about 10 minutes that felt like hours compared to the usual 30 seconds it took us to get there when we ran.
"We're finally here." Rose said in here extremely shallow way
We walked inside Mike's shop, and he stared at us for a long time.
"H h hey guys! I haven't seen you in ages!" He stuttered. I looked through his head, and he was amazed to see that Jacob had joined the family, and how pale Bella was. The thing he was staring at the most though was Nessie.
"So Jacob! I didn't know you had a wife!"
"Actually that's my daughter." Bella said
"Wow! Congratulations! I had no idea!" Mike said, with a blush starting to show on his face. I peeked into his mind, and saw that he was very embarrassed that he didn't know anything about me and Bella.
"Oh hey darling!" Mike said to Jessica, with an extremely pregnant belly.
"Oh wow you're pregnant!" Alice exclaimed
"Yeah. We're going to name her Grace." Jessica said softly
"When's she due?" Alice asked
"Around the time of our 3rd anniversary." Mike replied
Alice got that blank look on her face that we had all seen so many times, and then she thought to me
She's going to be born exactly on their anniversary
"Wouldn't it be such a coincidence if she was born on your anniversary!" I said
"It would be great, but a little bit scary too. I mean, she's going to be giving us presents and we're going to be giving her presents as well!" Jessica said
"Well, why are you here anyway?" Mike asked
"Another of our regular camping trips. Unfortunately most of our tents are a little worn down and we need proper snow and cold weather equipment as we're going to Alaska this time." Carlisle explained
"Sure. What kind of things do you need?" Mike asked
"Well, we need, let's see, a tent for every two people so that will be 5 tents please, a cold – weather sleeping bag and mattress for everybody so that will be ten, and whatever you think we should bring for camping in the snow." Carlisle said
"Sure. Can you go and get some tents and sleeping bags from the storeroom in the back please Jessica?" Mike asked
"Well, you'll probably need a pair of snowshoes each, and space – heaters. I take it you already have the other things like gas lights, tables, chairs and that kind of stuff." Mike said
"Great. We'll take anything you think we'll need for the cold weather." Carlisle said
An hour later, we arrived back home with snowshoes, tents, sleeping bags, mattresses, space heaters that we didn't need, snow shovels, a very big tarp to spread over our camp – site and a variety of other things.
"Well I guess we're all set then. Let's get this packed up and we'll go to the airport. Our flight's in about 3 hours." Carlisle said
"We're flying!" Rose said incredulously
"Yes we are. Don't you think some people might get suspicious if they see people running at breakneck speed with an amazing amount of luggage (And looked purposefully at Alice when he said that)? Cos I sure would." Carlisle said
"You're right, you're right." Rose admitted
As always
She added in her head to me. I smirked.
"Rosalie, what did you just think to Edward!" Carlisle scolded
"Oh, nothing." She said
"Edward?" He asked sceptically
"She didn't say anything. I just thought it would be funny seeing Alice carrying all those bags around." I said
"I so believe that. How come you told on me but not on Rose?!" Emmett said
"I guess life just works that way, Emmett." I said
"Well, I'm not going to feel the weight so I might as well take it if I can." Alice said
"Come on kids, we have to go soon." Carlisle said, and we all got to wotk packing the bags.
So, what did you think? Tell me if you have any ideas about what you think should happen next, and please tell me what you thought, even if it's bad, cos I'm just trying to improve my writing. Adios!
