REACTIONS

(Renesmee's POV)

HA! That was easy! Well I guess they don't call me the miracle hybrid for nothing. Never would I have thought this is what Grandpa was calling a family meeting for. I can't believe he could even fix his mind to include Jacob and me in this.

ME! Renesmee Carlie Cullen Black working…..some stupid job? The thought of me made me want to hurl. Or maybe it was the other issue that made me feel like that. He should have known that my dad wouldn't want his precious daughter working.

I have to admit that I was a bit surprised to hear that my dad didn't put up much of a fight for mom. What kind of man was he? Then again, Jacob didn't protest to me getting a job either. That idiot werewolf husband of mine. SMACK! "OUCH!!"Oh wait….. maybe he was to busy trying to keep his overprotective father-in-law out his head. I immediately felt sorry for smacking him and began rubbing the spot where I hit him.

Everyone began getting up and dispersing throughout the house. I grabbed Jacob's hand to pull him towards the door. "Come on Jakey, let's go back home……Daddy….mom….we're leaving!" I yelled hoping they wouldn't try to catch me. They are so clingy sometimes. "Goodnight, sweetheart." They said in unison. "We'll stop by in the morning before school."

"Nessie! Wait." I heard just as we were about to close the door behind us. Damn it! Well at least it wasn't my dad, but sometimes feeling emotions were just as bad as reading minds.

"Yes, Uncle Jazzy?" I said trying to sound innocent.

"Is everything okay? I couldn't help but feel a lot of different strong emotions coming from you." He asked.

UGH! Sometimes I wish the only thing he could feel from me is pain. "Oh yeah…I was just a bit….um….surprised….yeah that's it surprised….um about what the meeting was about……and um, and um…….a little scared that I….um…..might have to get a job……and then….um….sick…yeah that's the word I was looking for. Sick at the thought of ending up in some kind of greasy fast food place. That's all Uncle Jazzy…No need to worry about me." I said trying to convince myself of the lie I just told him. "I'm really tired, so I will see you all tomorrow." I said goodnight and hurried out the door so that know one else tried to stop me from leaving this wretched house.

I tripped as we were walking down the steps and saw the ground coming towards my face…fast, but Jacob caught me before I could hit the ground. "It's about time you did something right for a change. I almost thought that the ground was stupid enough to touch me!" I spat.

"Ahh Nessie. Give me a break. I caught you didn't I?" Jake asked as he phased and I jumped on his back for the quick run back to the cottage.

"And Jake, how come you didn't protest to me having to get a job?" I asked him in my most menacing voice.

"Well, you're a big girl Ness and you speak up for yourself pretty damn well. And also, I want to get a job. I get tired of staying cooped up in the cottage all day. We haven't been out in the last two months, Ness. I am going to start going crazy soon if I don't start interacting with live people soon." He complained.

"You what?! It sounds like you already are crazy Jacob Black! What am I supposed to do while you are working? I swear, Jacob…..if you leave me to fend for myself everyday then you won't get any for the next seven months!!!! And as for living people…I have a beating heart just like you do!!!"

"Well jeez Renesmee……I went 27 years without sex….and you haven't let me touch you in the past two, so I'm pretty sure I can last another seven. But I am getting a job and you are not going to stop me. I Love you Ness and as much as it hurts me to be away from you, I still have to get out sometimes. I would really like to support on my own, baby. Pleeaassee, baby, pleeaassee, let me get a job?" Jacob begged.

We ran in silence another minute or two before we were back at the cottage. Enough time for me to think about what he was saying. I climbed his back and he phased back into human form, grabbing me a pulling me towards him. "Okay, Jakey….if that's what you really want." I mumbled as a tear ran down my cheek. He started nibbling on my ear and we stumbled to bed.

(Edward's POV)

Well, that was different. I so was not expecting him to tell us all to get jobs. I was wondering why my father kept picturing my mother naked. Obviously to keep me out of his mind. He should have known that wouldn't work because the moment he stopped changing his mind, Alice would know what was going on and I could read hers. Which I did, of course, quick enough that she didn't have the chance to think of her and Jasper or sing some stupid song to keep me out her mind, also.

My mind was spinning. Spinning too fast to try and concentrate on what was going on in everyone else's mind. I didn't know what to think. Nessie didn't have to work, but I knew it was useless of trying to get Bella out of it. The only thing I could do now was to find Bell's job for her. A nice, quiet, peaceful job away from most of the perverted men in this town. It takes a lot for me not to rip a someone's head off when I hear the dirty thoughts going through their head of what they would like to do with my wife.

"Bella, love, what are you thinking? You haven't said much since the meeting. How do you feel about all of this?" I asked her.

"Well, I really don't have a problem with me getting a job. Remember, I have had a job before. It's all of you that I am worried about. My poor spoiled rotten husband and siblings." She said sarcastically as we walked through the door of our bedroom and plopped down on our king sized bed. "And I can't believe you and Carlisle fell for that little charade that Renesmee put on. It's bad enough that I know we have all created a monster, but the worse part is that none of you can see through her. I guess its just mother's intuition. If you ask me, I think she is the only truly spoiled one in the family. So tell me Edward, what book was she reciting in her head tonight to keep her dear, gullible father out?"

I rolled my eyes trying to sound as honest as possible, "I have no idea what you are talking about, love." However, I knew exactly what she was talking about because it happened almost every time I was in the room with Nessie.

"Oh don't give me that, Edward. I saw the confusion all over your face whenever you looked at her. It was the same expression you get when you know someone is trying to keep you out of their head. Or wait, maybe it wasn't a book this time…..it had to be a song…..I'm right this time aren't I…..so spill it." She threatened.

My wife knew me way to well. There was no lying to her. "Disturbia…….I just don't understand her. How can a father not know his own daughter? Sometimes it feels like she doesn't even like us……"I started. "Or that she thinks she is better than us." Bella finished.

She just had to grow up to fast and sometimes I feel like it is just punishment for the way I felt about her when we first found out Bella was pregnant. Of course, no one ever told Nessie how most of us felt in the beginning. That would be a different story though if she ever decided to ask. No one could refuse Nessie and no one ever really tried. It was just something about her that made it uncontrollably difficult to tell her 'no'.

I sat there with my head in my hands while Bella tried to soothe me by rubbing my back. I have to admit that it was more 'exciting' than 'soothing'. "Well, anyway, I am not too happy about you having to get a job. Maybe I can talk Carlisle out of you getting one if I tell him I will get two."

"No, Edward. I want to get a job and it might be fun. And you never know….you might actually enjoy it. We should start looking as soon as we get out of school tomorrow." She said with a grin on her face.

"Well…..I guess it's settled then. The job hunts start tomorrow." I said as I pulled Bella closer to me and began nibbling on her earlobe. Little did she know was that I already had the perfect job in mind for her and I think she is going to like it.

(Alice's POV)

"Ooohhh, Jazz this is going to be so much fun! I love my new job. I can absolutely say this is going to be a dream come true. I can also see that Bella will be satisfied with hers." I told Jasper while trying to keep myself from jumping up and down from all of the excitement.

"You already know where we all will be working?" Jasper asked while looking nauseated. Probably motion sickness from all of the bouncing I was causing on the bed.

"Of course not silly. Only mine because I have made up my mind and Bella's because Edward has made up hers." I replied and then I saw a worried look spread across my husband's beautiful face. "Don't worry Jasper, Bella will like the job her husband has chosen for her. However, don't ask me where because I rather wait until I actually get the job first and it is not my place to tell Bella's."

"That's not what I am worried about. I'm worried about Nessie and Jake. Other than Nessie's normal attitude and emotions, I also feel a lot of extra hostility from her that she is taking out on Jake. Jacob is panicking and also seems that he may be terrified. He was really pissed off when when Nessie got the both of them out of getting a job, too." Jasper replied looking even more worried before.

"Damn it!" I shouted. Not being able to see Jacob and Renesmee in my visions still hit a soft spot after all these years. Nessie had seemed a little more distant and stressed lately. Maybe I can take on a shopping trip to get her to open up if not cheer her up a little bit.

"Jasper, do you have any idea of where you might try to find work?" I asked quickly trying to change the subject.

"Not really. I mean I have tons of degrees in Psychology and counseling, but obviously don't see anyone giving a 17 year old a job in that field." He mumbled with a soft chuckle. "I guess I'll just follow you tomorrow and maybe I'll see something interesting while you're searching."

I couldn't believe how excited I was over this. Never would I have thought in a million centuries that Carlisle would make us all get jobs and I absolutely adored the idea.

Jasper fell back on the bed as he pulled me toward him and I had no problem seeing exactly what he was going to do next.

(Emmett's POV)

"Ouch! Aw man Rose. Baby please stop hitting me. I swear I didn't doing anything to make Carlisle mad and the Power wheel didn't even cost that much. It was only twelve hundred bucks!" I pleaded with Rose even though I knew she knew it wasn't my fault and just really needed someone to lash out at. I always ended up as the target when she got mad. I also noticed, with us being the last ones to go upstairs, that she had rubbed off on our little niece….a lot. Poor Jacob had it no better than I did. If not worse because he was still human.

"NO, no, no, no, NO! I will not, can not get a job. Who does he think he is? I'm the good one. ARGH! Why me, why always me?" Rosalie kept ranting.

"Baby, just calm down. What do you mean who does he think he is? I mean he is our father. Duh, Rose….even I knew that." I asked while pushing my hands up the back of her skirt grabbing both of her cheeks in my hands. This usually helped calm her down and I just couldn't help myself. She is just so sexy when she is angry.

"Calm Down, Calm Down! I, your beloved wife, am being forced to get a job and all you can say is calm down! And get your hands off my ASS, Emmett McCurtey Cullen! This is no time to be trying to feel me up!" she screamed in my ever so sensitive ears as I tried to quickly put my hands over them.

I had to think fast to get her to clam down before she hit me again. I knew that if she wasn't happy me or my 'mini me' weren't going to be happy either. That's when the thought popped into my head. Seem like I had more than just a pea brain after all.

"Rose, baby….what if I made it as easy for you as possible. I mean it's obviously clear that Carlisle is not going to allow any of us to back out of this. So what if I found you the easiest job possible. The best part about this is that you won't even have to lift a finger to get a job and then when I do find you the perfect job, all you will have to do is show up everyday and look beautiful." I said hoping that it would calm her.

That did the trick. The frown left her face. She didn't smile, but that was good enough for me. I smiled at her as she straddled across my lap wrapping her arms around the back of my neck.

"Oh Emmett. Do you really mean it? It would mean so much to me. I mean of course I wouldn't mind working on some cars, but I rather save that for home." She replied.

"Oh yeah baby. Anything for you. And just think……the workplace is one of the only places that we have never had one our hot and bothered moments…..well our very own workplace, that is." I said as I saw the most beautiful smile in the world break across her face. And at that moment, I knew I had my work cut out for me. Me and my big mouth.

"And you will start tomorrow as soon as school lets out?" She said in a way that I wasn't sure was a question or a command.

She removed my shirt and began rubbing my chest as we climbed into bed and under the covers as I nodded my head with a grin on my face making feel like the Cheshire cat.

Well there goes Ch.4. I hope you guys like it. Please R&R. I do know what jobs they are getting, but I am not sure whether it's going to come out in 5 or 6, but most definitely in one or the other.
