Together Again, Maybe?
We just landed and my daughter was jumping in her seat. "ITALY!" She screamed, over and over again. The boys chuckled silently, but Renesmee didn't noticed. "Lets GO!" She said when the door opened. She dragged me and Edward off the place while Anthony was sweet enough to stay behind to bring down our carry-on bags. Edward and I laughed at our daughter's eagerness. She pulled us all the way to the baggage claim before stopping to wait for our bags. She stood in front of it, while having her hands on her hips, while we waited for Anthony.
We waited a few moments before we saw him. We all laughed when he stood next to us holding nearly seven bags. Renesmee then came up to us dragging all our bags on a cart. Edward took over for her and we all went outside. Edward's Volvo was out front and waiting for us. Edward put all the bags in back while the kids and I got in. Edward's sent was all over the car, it was like heaven. Edward then came through the door and drove away from the airport.
People on the streets began to watch us as we drove by. Most were women and girls, trying to see Edward and Anthony. I growled, Edward chuckled and took my hand in his. I calmed down a bit, but still glared at anyone who looked at the car. Edward did the same thing when men and boys began to look at Renesmee and me. We were both overprotective of each other, even the kids were growling at them. When you boyfriend and son can both read minds, nothing is hidden well. And the women, their eyes glowed with lust, it disgusted Renesmee and myself.
We finally can to the hotel were staying at for about three days. Italy is nice but its not safe to stay long, the Vultouri would find us. It's not the fact that they'd hurt us, it's the fact that they don't know about what my daughter and son are. It could mean a lot of things if we are found.
"Bella." Edward said.
I blinked, he and the kids were already outside the car and our stuff. I had hadn't heard them get out. "Is everything all right love?" Edward asked, a worried expression on his face. "I'm fine Edward. I was just thinking and didn't hear you get out." I responded. He looked unsure of my answer but excepted it, taking my hand to help me out of the car.
Men in uniforms soon came out as soon as I had walked out of the car (with Edward's help). They took our large bags and asked if we wanted to carry the smaller ones or have them taken on the rack, we took them. I don't know about some people but I like to keep my stuff under lock and key. They took our bag inside while we checked in. The hotel had over a thousand rooms and we were on the top, in a special family sweet they put together for us.
It was sort of a coastal hotel because it's right by a beach. We went right up to our room and waited for Edward to walk up to the door with the keys to room 1,000. He opened the door to a cream colored set of rooms. It had a calming and relaxing feeling to it. The kids grabbed their things off the cart and ran to the other room.
Our room that we were standing in had one king-size bed to our right, across from it was a plasma screen TV. The room was so big, there was about ten to fifteen feet between the bed and the TV. Over in the far left corner was a mini kitchen, next to it a door, I opened it to find a indoor hot tub. A sunset golden color to the room, it made it seem more romantic. I came out of the hot tub room, next to the kitchen was a large long window that over looks the beach, and in front of it was a mini dinning room. Next to the dinning room was the door that led to Anthony and Renesmee's room. A nightstand to place belongs on top and clothes in were on both sides of the bed. We didn't even bother to unpack, since we were only here for three days.
I took some new clothes and went to the bathroom to change. It had an ocean color to it. I changed into a pair of indigo shorts and a dark blue spaghetti strap shirt. I came out of the bathroom to find my family changed and talking on our bed. Renesmee was dressed the same way as me, but her shirt was dark pink. The boys both were wearing light blue jean shorts, as for the shirts, Edward's was emerald green and Anthony's was golden yellow.
"Alright." I said. "Now that we are all changed and settled in, where do we want to go first? Or do we want to have a relax day and stay in the hotel?" Everyone looked at each other. Renesmee stood up. "I think we should go to see some of the ancient coliseum and other historical places first. I promised Uncle Jazz that I would write down some of those facts in a journal for us to debate on with Krystal." She said. "Then tomorrow we can have a relax day and spend it in the hotel and on the outside beach, then on our last day we should go out to some parks during the day then go out to eat in the evening." I nodded. It sounded like a good plan.
"That sounds like a good plan Res, is there anything that you boys want to do here?"
"We still have to do a little shopping Mom." Anthony said. "Well, at least I have to. I promised the family I'd bring back something for all of them. Especially Aunty Alice, I promised her to be the shopper since you and Dad won't do it." I felt extremely sorry for my son, but when it comes to Alice, no one can help.
"And I'd like to take you somewhere tonight if that's alright." Edward said. That cursed blush would have been on my face if I was still human.
"Daddy, where are you taking Mommy?" Renesmee asked.
Edward smiled back at her, "It's a secret." He said, I groaned. Another surprise, lovely. The boys and Res laughed as I pouted. "Edward you know I don't like surprises, I let the plane slide because it was the first one you had given me in years but now I feel like you never left. Those surprises still get on my nerves when you by very expensive stuff for me." I said. He laughed and came over, pulling me into his embrace. "But you love my surprises in the end, don't you." It wasn't a question, it was a statement.
I laughed and he kissed me on the check. Edward and Anthony pulled out a backpack for us each. Mine and Edward's was green, while the kid's was orange. Edward and I packed my laptop, books, and a few maps in our bag while the kids packed notebooks three times the size of Emmett's head, a few maps, food and water.
We locked up our room and headed for the car. Since Rome was the capital city and a popular tourist attraction, it took longer then we had hoped to get there.
We finally pulled up to a side parking lot that led to the coliseum. Edward and Anthony pulled on the backpacks and I slipped my laptop case around my shoulder. We finally came in sight of the coliseum I pulled Edward back by the backpack, pulling out my camera. Renesmee did the same thing with Anthony, pulling out her notebook and pencils, and began to draw and write. She then ran off to get some facts about the coliseum, Anthony following her at her heels. Edward and I stayed close, I took pictures and he told me facts about it that he had read off of signs Renesmee had already written and passed by.
We soon made it to the end of the trip. Renesmee had been through out the old place (even places she was not allowed to go, but could thanks to being a vampire), made a picture of the room, wall, or side of the place, and gotten facts. She and Anthony were now in the gift shop, Renesmee grabbed a snow globe of the coliseum in a sandstorm.
Anthony was looking at and picking out some historical and medical books for Jasper and Carlisle. Part of the shopping for presents deal.
Nothing in the store interested Edward and I so we left and waited outside for the kids. They came out a few minutes later, a few bags in their hands. We all climb into the Volvo and Edward drove us back to the hotel. I hadn't even really looked at the time until I looked at the car clock, 6:49, and I saw it was getting dark.
Stars were in the sky when we got back. Edward still wouldn't tell me where he was taking me, damn. We got back to our rooms and he told me to wear formal clothes. I choose a midnight blue dress that had a 'v' line in the front, my dress went all the way down to my knees. I curled my hair and did my makeup. The kids were waiting for me outside the bathroom door, but Edward wasn't there.
"He's in our room changing Mom." Anthony said when I noticed Edward's absence. I nodded and sat on the bed to wait for him.
I didn't have to wait long, Edward walk through the door, wearing a dark blue dress shirt and black dress pants, then handing me a bouquet of red roses. "These are beautiful Edward!" I said before kissing his lips. He smiled. "Let me put them in some water and then we'll go." I quickly put the flowers in a vase and placed it on my nightstand. He held out his hand for me, which I gladly took. I saw the kids in the doorway, Res was crying and Anthony was holding back tears. "Why are you two crying?" I asked them. Edward chuckled, probably read their minds.
"Our Mom is happy again, that's why. You've never been this happy before Mom." Res said softly. Anthony rubbed her arm gently while staring at Edward. "Have you and Mom back by at least midnight Dad, if you plan on staying out later call us so we don't worry and call the police for kidnap." Anthony said. We laughed and Edward pulled me out the door.
"Sometimes I think that they act more like the parents then I ever did." I said once we were far enough away from the kids. Edward nodded his head, then laughed.
"You should have heard what Res said in her head, 'My Mom's finally all grown up. There is so much light in her eyes now that I didn't see before Dad came. Now she is dating Dad and possibly soon to be married to him.'" He mimicked her voice almost perfectly. We laughed as we went outside.
We made it to the Volvo and climb in, but before Edward started the car he pulled out a blindfold. "Why do I have to wear a blindfold Edward?" I whined, using the puppy dog pout. He composed himself from my outburst then proceeded to put the blindfold on.
"Because love, I don't want you to see where we're going. Now please don't use the pout or I'll kiss the living daylights out of you." He teasingly threatened. I sighed in frustration and slipped down in my seat. When I was human this was a routine. I would first get upset that he wont tell me, then I get mad at him for spending money on me, the I enjoy the date, then I come back happy and don't talk to him about it. Tonight was no different, I couldn't take away his fun.
Once I had the blindfold, Edward turned on the car and drove. At least Edward didn't think to put the window up, now I could smell where we were going!
For the first half-hour I could smell only the city, but then after a while I began to smell a forest. I felt Edward park the car and come around to get me. He opened my door and picked me up bridle style, carrying me into the woods.
I then smelled something within the woods, a faint smell of blood, Mt. Loin blood to be exact, but it was hidden behind the smell of glass. "Edward why do I smell animal blood here?" I asked. I felt him chuckle and set me down. Then he removed the blindfold. I gasped.
I was a meadow, just like our meadow, but a few different flowers and trees. In the center of the field was a table. Apon it was midnight blue candles that smelled of blueberries, a bottle of, I think it was the blood I smelled, and two wineglasses. Edward pulled me to the table and pulled out my chair for me. I sat and thanked him, then he sat and began to pour our glasses of animal blood.
For hours into the night we just sat there and talked about funny things that happened in our lives, like when Emmett did stuff, Em and Jazz playing on the wii, Emmett doing stuff, Alice and Rose doing prank calls, Emmett doing stuff, I think we had talked more about Emmett more then anyone!
Then I heard music, Claire de Lune. Edward got up and pulled mw with him. We danced together. My arms around his neck and my head on his shoulder. His arms constricted around my waist and would kiss my forehead ever few minutes.
We finally decided to go home before the kids called the Italian Police. Edward placed all the stuff in the back of his car and then we drove off.
Within the next hour we got home to the hotel just a few minutes before midnight. We walked up to our sweet, and opened the door to see the place clean. I thought the kids would have trashed it while waiting for us. We walked to their door and found out why ours was clean. Their room was worst then their rooms at home! Trash was everywhere and the kids were right in the middle of it. I kissed both of their heads and placed a note on the nightstand saying we got back at about midnight like they said.
We walked back to our room and I noticed the hot tub room was open. I then tried to be really bold. "Edward." I called him. He looked up from his bag of clothes.
"I really want to try the hot tub right now. Do things in there that aren't G-rated." Realization hit his face and if I was still human, my face would have created a whole new red color for blush.
I walked up to Edward and slowly pulled him into the hot tub room. I strip both of us of our clothes and there we stood, before each other. I walked up to him and kissed him. I calmed him and he nodded to me, he knew that I needed this now. He slowly got in the water, before pulling me in with him. Kissing me as soon as I was near him.
Then he pulled us under the surface.
Author note: Wow, what did you think of that! I really sorry that I have to go away for a week people but I'll post another chapter in about 2 weeks when I get back, and still send reviews!
