A/N: Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know, it looks like I'll only be able to update twice a week until I get back home. It turns out we don't have wireless internet, so six people have to share one computer. :( Luckily, I can still write the chapters on my laptop, so I only have to upload them from my flashdrive. And I'm only able to check my email once a day, so if you don't get an immediate response to a review alert or message, don't worry. I will get to it eventually.

And one more thing. As I said before, I found a solution to the sparkling-vampires-being-on-a-cruise-ship dilemma. It comes up in this chapter. If anyone else has a better idea as to what could explain them being on the ship, feel free to PM me your idea or put it in a review!

Enjoy!

Chapter 7: Waterworks

BPOV

"Wh-what…did you…just say?" Jenna looked at me, slightly confused at my stuttering.

"Can I still control the water?" My head shot to Carlisle, but he was just as shocked as I was. I looked over at Edward, but he was just staring at her. None of us knew what to say, but it seemed brilliant when Edward asked her to show us what she was talking about.

Jenna let go of me and went into the kitchen. She came back out with a cup of water and sat on the floor in the middle of the room. All of us leaned forward, trying to get as close as we could without sitting on top of her. She gracefully waved her hand over the top of the glass, stopping directly over the center, and then flicking her had up at the wrist. We all gasped.

A small circle of water rose out of the glass and hovered in the air, seeming to wait for a command. The edges rippled every now and then as we stared at it.

Jenna waved her hand and the drop stretched out, performing her exact movements. All of us sat there, awed, as she continued to move her hand around and the water followed, a liquid line floating in the air. Eventually, she let the water fall back into the cup and looked up at each of us, slowly becoming more confused as she took in our expressions.

"What? Somethin' wrong?" I cleared my throat and looked at Jenna.

"How long have you been able to do this?" She thought for a second before answering.

"I don't know. It was in the baftub before we came here."

"Was it when I started putting that stuff in your food so you could eat it?" She nodded.

"Mommy, what was dat stuff?" My head shot to Carlisle, a worried look on my face. He nodded for me to answer her.

"It…was the same stuff Edward gave you last night, except not as strong. It's blood, baby. Animal blood." Her eyes widened and she looked at everyone, trying to see if I was kidding. Her eyes landed back on me and she seemed to grow confused.

"But mommy, I thought vampires only drink human bwood. How come they drink animal bwood?" I looked at Edward and he went and sat on the floor with Jenna. She turned her gaze to him.

"We don't think it's fair we don't like to, and we don't want to have to live with the fact that we would be taking a life to keep ourselves alive. We don't like killing the animals, either, but there are a lot more of them getting hit by cars or being hunted and stuffed than what we kill. We only take what we need." She leaned forward as he was talking, taking in everything he was saying.

"So…you guys are good vampires?" she asked. Edward tilted his head to the side, contemplating her question.

"I guess so. I mean, we don't kill people like others do, so I guess that's what we are." She smiled and launched herself at him, knocking over the cup of water in the process. Edward grabbed the cup before all of it spilled out, and managed to catch Jenna at the same time. He set the cup down on the floor and I went to get a towel.

"Wait, momma! I get it."

She leaned towards the wet spot in the rug from her place in Edward's lap and waved her hand above it. She flicked her wrist up like she did before and the water came up in a small sphere. She waved her hand in the direction of the cup and it plopped down into the cup, leaving the carpet dry. Then she looked at me, not a second thought to what she had just done.

"Momma, can we go to the pool? I wanna play!" I shook my head and looked up from the once-wet spot on the floor.

"Yeah, baby, we can go to the pool." I looked around to everyone else, a question popping into my head. I whipped around and faced Carlisle, serious confusion written all over my face.

"Carlisle," I began slowly, "how are you guys on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean with the sun almost always out when you sparkle in sunlight?" My head slowly turned as I finished my question. He laughed when he realized what I was asking and smiled at me.

"We don't sparkle as much anymore. I started experimenting in my free time and found that if we don't kill the animals we drink from, we aren't as recognizable as what we truly are. It's kind of like the human versus animal blood. We stopped drinking human blood and switched to animals, taking away the redness in our eyes. Now, we stopped killing all together, and it's allowed us to go out in sunlight without becoming living glitter. We still sparkle, but it's easily passed off as really healthy skin," he finished, almost sheepish. I just nodded my head.

Jenna got up and ran to the closet, pulling out her one piece again. I took out a bikini that I had bought before the trip and turned around.

"Um, do you want to go in, too? I think it's you guys she's wanting to play with." A faint "yes!" sounded from the bathroom and we all laughed.

Alice shot up from her seat and dragged Jasper out the door. I looked back at everyone else and they had surprised looks on their faces. Then they shrugged and stood up to leave. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked back to find Edward standing behind me.

"We'll come. How about you come to our room when you're ready and we'll all head down together?" I nodded and he followed his family out. Jenna came out of the bathroom and her face fell when she realized everyone had left.

"They just went to change, baby. We're going to go to their room when we're ready and go down together." Her face immediately broke out into another smile and she started jumping on the bed.

I went into the bathroom and changed. I came back out and Jenna jumped off the bed. She grabbed my hand and dragged me out the door. As soon as we stopped outside their door, it opened and Alice ran out.

"Oh, Bella! I love what you did with your sense of style! You actually got yourself one!" She hugged me and I hugged her back, rolling my eyes at Jasper, who was laughing silently.

Everyone else came out and we made our way down to the pool. Jenna had hold of one of my hands and Edward's hand in her other, swinging them back and forth in time with her steps. I looked down at her and she was smiling like she had won the lottery.

"Jenna, you know you can't move the water in front of people we don't know, right? They can't know you can do that. I don't care if you do, just don't let anyone know you're doing it without touching the water, okay?" She looked up at me and nodded.

"Okay, mommy."

We reached the doors at the end of the hall and walked onto the deck. Surprisingly, no one was in the pool. They were probably watching a show, or something.

The sun reflected brightly off the water in the pool. There wasn't even a ripple from the movement of the ship. Jenna ran over to the steps and stuck her foot in, before running back.

"It's not cold, momma!" She ran to the edge of the pool before I could answer and jumped in.

I walked over to the stairs and walked in. Emmett, being who he is, threw off his shirt, ran to the deepest end of the pool, and cannonballed in, followed by Jasper and Edward. Carlisle and Esme went and sat in the chairs alongside the pool. Alice and Rose sat on the edge and just put their feet in.

I dove under the water towards Jenna and grabbed her around the waist. I stood up with her in my arms and collapsed back into the water with her. She screamed between her fits of laughter, yelling at me to let her go.

We fell back and I let her go, pushing her up to the top before I swam away. I came up out of the water laughing when I noticed her scowling at me. She started swimming towards me and I turned, diving under the water again towards the deep end. I turned around and started swimming backwards so that I could watch her coming.

I felt the water swirl around me and my back slammed ended up slamming into something, knocking the breath from my lungs. I felt arms wrap around my waist and lift me out of the water. I coughed up water once my head broke the surface, an arm leaving my waist and going under my legs.

I opened my eyes to see Edward bringing me over to the edge of the pool and he set me down, looking at me worriedly. I tried smiling at him, but my coughing may have made it more of a grimace. He brushed the hair back from my face and continued to look at me as my coughing slowed down. I felt hands patting my back and turned slightly to see Jenna behind me. She had a really sorry look on her face and I tried to smile reassuringly.

"I- I…didn't mean it, momma. I was just trying to catch you and then the water moved and you were in it and he was comin' and I couldn't stop the water in time and you ran into him and-" She had started crying and babbling hysterically, but I put my hand on the side of her face to stop her. She buried her face in my hands and I pulled her onto my lap.

Edward was still standing in front of me and rubbed her back as I rocked her side to side. He put his other hand on my knee and I looked at him. He still had a worried look on his face, and I nodded that I was fine. He nodded, but still didn't seem convinced.

Jenna had stopped crying, and I kissed the top of her head. She looked up at me and new tears formed in her eyes. I quickly wiped away the old ones and shook my head at her.

"Don't cry anymore, baby. It was an accident and I'm fine. Now you know to be careful when it comes to your powers, though, don't you?" She nodded her head frantically and I sighed.

"Do you still want to play? I'm sure Edward would play with you." She looked at him and he smiled at her. She looked back at me hesitantly.

"You can't hurt him, Jenna. You can't hurt any of them. They might even help you practice if you ask." She shook her head repeatedly when I said that.

"I wanna play, but I don't wanna pwactice." I nodded and she slipped off my lap into the water. She took Edward's hand and they went to where Emmett and Jasper were standing. I sat there with my hands holding the side of the pool when I saw Alice and Rose sit down next to me in the reflection from the water.

"Are you really okay?" Alice asked leaning forward so she could see me clearly. I nodded slowly.

"Yeah, I'm fine. She didn't do anything wrong. It's all new to her." I looked out across the pool to where Jenna was sitting on Edward's shoulders and using her feet to kick water at Emmett, who looked like he was trying to tickle her.

"Is it just me, or did she seem almost…scared when I mentioned her powers before?" I asked. Alice and Rose were quiet for a few seconds, thinking.

"She very well might have been. They got away from her for a second, causing you, her mother, harm, no matter how slight it was," Rose answered.

"It might have caused her to think about who else she may hurt while using this power. It's probably very likely that she won't use them again for a while, until she thinks it's safe or needed. She didn't let you know about them before, and now that you know, you got hurt because of them. In her mind, that would make them bad." I felt her put a hand on my shoulder and squeeze it.

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong?" I looked at her and nodded again, smiling.

We sat there for a few hours, just watching them enjoy themselves, before Jenna made her way back over to me, hand in hand with Edward. Her eyes were drooping and she yawned. I smiled at her and Edward put her on my lap. She leaned her head on my shoulder and closed her eyes. Alice and Rose helped me up while I was holding her and we made our way back to our rooms. The sun was about half way down, but not changing the colors of the sky just yet.

I opened the door to my room, Jenna tucking her arms under herself and laying her head on my shoulder, leaving me with a free hand. Alice and Rose followed me in and closed the door behind them. I layed Jenna down on the bed and got her pajamas from the closet, as wells as my own. I threw mine near the bathroom and changed Jenna into hers. I went and changed into my own and laid down under the covers with her. Alice and Rose sat down on the bed facing me.

"What are you going to do about Edward?" Alice asked, getting right to the point, as usual. I looked down at Jenna and shook my head.

"I don't know. I'm certainly not going to push him away, especially since Jenna seems to have bonded with him, but I'm not just going to go back to the way we were before. At least, not right away. I think he's sincere when he says how sorry he is, and he's definitely trying to make up for it. The way he accepted Jenna, and then helped her yesterday, and then today when he played with her, I know he cares for her. I'm not going to drag her away from him just because I don't want to jump back into his arms." I heard Rose sigh from my left and looked up.

"I know what happened and I've heard how you feel, but I also know what everything did to him. I know that his level of pain just caused us more. I don't know why you are being so awkward around him, but I only have one thing to ask of you. Please, please don't push him away. He would comply, but I know it would kill him inside. I don't want to see him hurt like that again." I nodded.

"I understand, Rose. Believe me, I wouldn't think of pushing him away. It would kill me, as well. No, for Jenna's sake as well as mine, I'm going to give him a second chance. And I already know he will take full advantage of it." They both smiled and laughed lightly. Alice and Rose stood up to leave.

"Spend the day with him tomorrow, Bella. I know it will do the both of you good." Alice winked at me and I smiled, nodding. They walked over to the door and waved, closing it behind them.

I laid in bed with Jenna in my arms for a while before I finally fell asleep, topaz eyes and bronze hair swirling through my mind. I knew it wouldn't be long before we were back to normal, and I knew the Cullens wouldn't let us fall apart again.

A/N: I am SOOO sorry it took so long to get this up. I've been working on it little by little, but I hope it will be enough for now, since I don't know when I'll be able to update again.

So, there is one thing I would like you to keep in mind while you read the next few chapters. I don't want to give anything away, but I want to stick with much of what actually happened. Some of you may know that the Titanic sank only 5 days after it left port. Well, that fact is not going to change. I know it will seem a little rushed, but it just seems right. Plus, those should be the action-y chapters. They may also be shorter to keep it good. Anyway,

Please review, vote on my poll, and check out my other stories! ;p
