Nessie, Edward, Bella, Alice

I can't believe what Renesmee is doing with Jacob...but there really isn't anything we can do about it.

Not really...although Carlisle gave her something for birth control.

I heard something about that.

Would you all feel better if I told you that nothing more has happened?

Not really.

Nope...although...Alice? Should we tell her?

I want to see her reaction when we get there.

Yeah. It'd be a nice surprise.

She'd figure it out.......-sigh- Fine. When do we leave?

Can't I at least have a hint?

What would be the fun in that?

We'll leave on Tuesday and stay for a week.

Errr.......how about we leave tonight and leave Renesmee alone for a day or so there?

??????????

Edward, even I don't know what the heck you're talking about.

What? OMG AND LEAVE JACOB THERE TOO? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

-sigh- Fine...

So, then, when are we leaving?

Well, it was going to be Tuesday, but that plan clearly changed.

How about we just leave Tuesday?!

??? Why Tuesday??? -realization- Oh. Don't you think we have enough time today?

...let me rephrase. When am I leaving?

I don't think anyone knows now.

JUST TUESDAY BECAUSE IT'S OUR NEXT CLASS AND EVERYONE WILL GO THEN!

Uh...I think today would be better.

I'm curious...can I go today?

I don't see why not.

Yeah, you and Jacob could go today. Carlisle can take you there and drop you off.

Do the words "Isle Esme" mean anything to you?

Yes. I asked this morning if that's where we were going, and I was told no. -realization- Wait...does this mean what I think it means?

Depends on what you think it means.

Okay, this is confuddling...you and Jacob are going to leave a day early even though I don't like it...

Renesmee...Carlisle says yes...-braces for impact-

Seriously? No joke?

That's the plan.

God no! The Volturi will find out! Please don't! Oh God no...

I okayed it with Aro. He is... "interested"...-shudder-

Would they try to hurt the baby?

Knowing them, probably.

Obviously they would! They wanted to kill you! Please, at least wait till you're 18.

No...they just want to see its "powers"...-shudders-

But would it even have any? There's no way to know for sure.

What if it turned out to be a vampire-wolf? They would definitely want to see it then.

How about we WAIT to find out?

Well...you're a vampire-human who can "show" people things, and Jacob is a werewolf. Something's bound to happen.

Well, technically, wouldn't it be a mixture of the three species? I've got vamp and human in me, and, like Dad said, Jake is a werewolf...yeah, I suppose that having two "supernatural" creatures in its blood, it would get something...Does Grandpa Carlisle have any idea how fast it would grow? I grew fast, and so does Jake...

This sounds really dangerous to me...

I agree with Alice. Have you seen anything?

She wouldn't. Jacob is a werewolf. Carlisle says we'll artificially incubate the child to avoid incidents like what happened to Bella.

Sorry about that, Mom...so, what, once it's started growing, Grandpa's going to take it out and put it somewhere to continue growing?

That just sounds like something unsafe...

Yes. I'm still very unsure about this.

You doubt Carlisle? He's been researching for weeks. The whole "incubation" process is actually safer than a human birth in a hospital.

Really? Hmm...I'm fine with it as long as it won't hurt the baby.

Okay...when did you become so supportive of Nessie having a child, Edward? You were completely against it before.

Yeah!

She hit me with a guilt trip...I'd rather not have my daughter hate me.

You know I wouldn't hate you.

Edward, you're such a push-over.

No one's hitting ME with a guilt trip.

-growl- Push-over? Choose your words carefully, Alice...

Later...Socials...

I REALLY don't think you should get pregnant.

Why? Just because it doesn't seem safe? Or another reason?

Well, I'm just really worried about the unknown. I mean, what if having three species in it causes deformities? Or if it's not accepted among anyone outside the family? What if Rose doesn't like it because it's part wolf? Or the worst possibility, what if the Volturi get a hold of it and turn it into one of them?

...the other vampires seem to like me, so I think they'd be fairly supportive...at least, I hope they would be. -sigh- I suppose that, since it would be a mixture of me and Jake, you wouldn't really be able to see it when it's born, and it would be difficult to know for sure how the others will react. But as long as we do for the child what you guys did for me, and protect it from the Volturi coming to convert it, I'm sure we'll be fine.

But you're 7! 17 in physical years! Do you really think you're ready to have a child?

Grandpa Carlisle says it's okay. If something happens I can't totally handle, I've got lots of support from the family. Right?

I think you're looking at this unrealistically.

Maybe I am. Maybe I'm blinded by the desire to be a mother.

But you have forever to become one. Why do you have to rush into it? Babies are life-changing.

-sigh- Well, I suppose I don't have to have a baby right now. But I don't think that means Jake and I can't take advantage of the time on Isle Esme, does it? I mean, I can use what Grandpa Carlisle gave me if it would make you feel better.

I know I can't stop you , but PLEASE don't do anything stupid.

Okay. I won't. I promise.

Thank you.

So, do you plan to do anything aside from the obvious while you're there?

Um...I don't know. Mom says the coral reefs are nice, and I'm sure it will be easy to find other things to do. I hear it's a beautiful place.

Yeah, it is.

What about you? Is Uncle Jasper coming, too, so you can do "the obvious"?

Do we really have to talk about this?

I suppose not.

...

Read any good books lately?

...-shrugs- Nothing of much importance. You?

Not really...

Maybe we should be good girls and do our work now.

I guess so.

There you have it! So Nessie's NOT getting pregnant! Okay...I'm done for tonight...now it's time for you guys to review! Please? Hopefully I'll get more reviews than just from Sean...sigh...ah well. Maybe I'll take a break until Friday...depends on how many reviews I get. Tell you what; five or more reviews (from different people) gets you an update Friday.
