Chapter 8
Edward's POV-
"Oh!" I breathed through my mouth. In the cupboard there was... nothing completely nothing. Why was it empty? Was this just a cover up?"Uh, who wants to investigate?" Emmett asked, knowing what I knew. We all looked at each other, me and Emmett shook our heads but Jasper nodded. "All go." He smiled. He walked in, but nothing happened
Bella's POV
"Mum you might want to hear this!" Renesmee stormed through the door, red faced. "Not right now, honey." I waved a hand dismissively at her. I focused on Sam. Jake stood their deciding if she should shape shift. "Sam. Please, don't! My daughters right behind me. And Alice, sweet little Alice, you just can't harm her. Jake's your friend. Would you really?" I tried reasoning with him. But he snarled. "Mum really, you need to hear this." Nessie whined impatiently. "What is it Nessie," I sighed not really paying attention. "Sam was talking to Charlie, saying that you were a big threat to humans since your husband changed you, and he wants us all to leave... or he will attack."
Rosalie's POV-
I was a bit jealous, in many ways. Bella has a baby. And so does Alice. And I've always wanted one. And I was so, so close. I was in the middle of my thoughts when Jacob, how I despised him sometimes, rang. "Hello?" I sighed in my angelic voice. A grunt came from the other end. "And here I was hoping for someone else. Anyway. We need your help. NOW!" He rushed the sentence, it must be important. "I'm on my way." I told him.
Alice's POV-
"Okay, Sam. We'll leave. But you have to give us a while." I made a reasonable deal. He snarled. I glared at him, while Nessie, Bella, Rose and Jake stared at me. "Please Sam? Change into your normal form, so we can discuss this." I begged, and he followed, surprisingly. Sam's face was a picture of anger, and nothing else. "Okay, how long?" He spat, through gritted teeth. I thought in my head for a sensible date. "When I've had my baby." I said calmly, hoping he would burst. His face turned confused. "But I thought you couldn't get pregnant?" He asked the same question as Quill. This brought in another thought. Would they come with us? Would Charlie. I knew that would break Bella's heart. But if that's what it took to protect us, I would do it. "That's what we thought. We were wrong." I muttered. Maybe he would change his mind. Maybe. But then his face changed, back to the sour look he had before. "How long will it take?" He said in a stern voice. I looked at Bella, but she shrugged. "Well, if it's the same as Bella's pregnancy, then round about two months. And the speed can back that up." I pointed to my stomach. He looked at it, with a thoughtful expression. "Alright, you have yourself a deal. A week after the baby's born you move out. Fair?" He raised his eyebrow. I nodded, and walked outside, the rest, except Sam, followed. "Charlie. We're... leaving... in two months. After I've had my baby." I told him, then realising I hadn't explained. I gave him the short details after he asked.
Jake's POV-
"Will you be coming Jake?" Bella asked. I didn't want to hurt her. I bit my lip until it bleed. "I'm sorry Bella, but my father, my friends." I looked at her. Her expression was hurt. "I'll come and visit though." I added, defending myself. The car ride was silent. As we walked into the house, I heard Nessie sob silently. "Hey Ness. What's up?" I asked her, putting my arm around her. The tears soaked my broad chest. "I don't know what I want to do." She whispered raggedly. I heaved a sigh. "What do you mean?" I looked down at her, as she looked up at me. She shook her head unwillingly. "I want to go with mum and dad. But I also want to stay with you." She muttered sheepishly. An agonised look crossed my face. If she left with Bella, would I ever see her again? If she stayed with me, would she ever see her mum again? The decision could be heart breaking either way. If she left, she would be leaving Charlie, me, Embry, Quill, Seth and... Well Leah. But if she stayed, she would be leaving her family. "I don't know, that's up to you and you're mum" I sighed, squeezing her shoulder.
Emmett's POV-
The closet was empty. Nothing but walls, a floor and a door. "Well, Jasper. Looks like Carlisle just bolted it shut to annoy us." I sighed angrily. A whole waste of fun was put into uncovering what was in this cupboard, to expect nothing. "That's a pain." He agreed, as we both sat on the couch looking at the TV. I heard the other guys come in. Nessie was crying.
Alice's POV-
"Guys!" I called into the big house, knowing they would hear. "We need to talk." I added as they all arrived in the living room. The whole family -including Darrel and Caddie- and the small werewolf pack were there. "What is it Alice?" Carlisle asked pleasantly. I smiled weakly; I know that the happy expressions on their face would be replaced by shock in a matter of 1 minute. "Here's the thing. Sam was at Charlie's. And he wants us to leave the town... or he'll attack. I said that would be fine, if we would be aloud time for me to have my baby." I looked around the room, their faces were blank. "He agreed, and a week after having the baby, we move." I looked at the ground not willing myself to look at their faces, I knew that wouldn't help. And before anyone could speak, Nessie spoke. "I have something to say." She muttered under her breath, Jake's arm was still tight around her. I frowned what does she want to speak about? "Go ahead." I nodded in encouragement. She looked down at the ground like I had. "I'm going to stay here... with Jacob." All the room turned to face her.
