CHAPTER 7
Carlie and Renesmee's eyes shone with happiness. At last, they met their family. Well, some of it really. Still, this was new to them so I smiled back at them and kissed their cheeks.
"Awesome! So I'm an uncle now! This is so great. Hey Bells, can I hold 'em?" Emmett asked enthusiastically as he moved towards us. The twins slightly flinched away from him and I laughed.
Momma, he's so big. Nessie said through her thoughts.
And scary. Carlie added. I laughed again.
"Aww. Don't be like that. He's your uncle. He won't hurt you." The twins glanced back at the grinning Emmet and immediately looked back when they saw him looking. I giggled.
"Ha! You're scary looking Emmett that these little girls can't even look at you! Here, let me see my nieces closely…" Alice said. She neatly dodged out of Emmett's reach when he tried to muzzle her hair and she flicked her tongue out to him. Alice stopped directly at me and smiled.
"May I?"
"Uh… sure…?" I said though it sounded like I asked. I looked at my daughters.
She seems… nice…
Yep. And pretty. And she wears clothes like Aunt Heidi. I like her. Nessie said, taking a direct look at Alice and smiled at her. Alice beamed.
"See, Emmett? Renesmee likes me already!" Emmett pouted.
"It's just because you're smaller…"
"Shut up." Alice glared at him. Then Rosalie went to stand beside her.
"They really look beautiful… I'm sorry about that earlier, Bella. But can we hold them?"
I nodded and handed them my twins. Nessie immediately went to Alice. Carlie shyly went to Rose's arms and smiled.
"You look like an angel." She commented and Rosalie smiled.
"Thank you. You look like one, too."
"Yeah, she looks like an angel 'cause she's my angel." Emmett said as he went beside Rosalie and put an arm around her. Jasper did the same to Alice as she chatted with Nessie. They already seems so close to each other.
"Okay, I hate to break this small reunion but I think it's best if we continue this at home." Carlisle said as he and Esme went closer to our group.
"Oh, that's right. Uhm… will it be okay if we stay with you guys? I could look for an apartment tomorrow or something after."
"No need, dear. Of course you can stay with us. We already prepared the guest room which we hope will be officially your room soon." She smiled at me and I smiled gratefully at her. "For now, let's head home, shall we?"
Seems like everything will be okay….
The Cullens brought two cars with them to pick us up – the Mercedes and a yellow car that I'm not sure what is.
"It's a Porshe. Alice's Porshe." Jasper answered.
"Alice got a car?"
"Yes. She just recently bought that when she saw it in TV then she had a vision of her riding in it. She's ecstatic." He smirked. Alice stuck out her tongue at him which made him chuckle.
"Well it looks great. And expensive."
"Still haven't change, eh, Bella?" I glared at him mockingly. He chuckled again.
Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, and Rosalie took up the Mercedes while we ride with Alice and Jasper. Once inside, the twins went up to sit on my lap and put their hands on both my cheeks.
Where are we going, momma?
"We're going to the Cullen's place. It's somewhere near the little town of Forks where my dad lives."
They looked at me with huge eyes.
Dad? Who's he?
"The Charlie that Carlisle mentioned earlier. But things changed and… well… things happened. But he's still my dad and I love him."
The twins noticed my sadness and hugged me. Nessie can't resist asking, though.
Are we going to meet him someday?
"Maybe. I can't promise anything, though, sorry." I looked at them sadly.
It's okay, momma, we understand. I hugged them both.
The surroundings looked similar the last time I've been here. The darker surroundings that is caused by the lack of sunlight though it didn't hindered my eyesight. I can also tell that everything is beautiful… and green.
Then we were turning now into a way between trees. After a few seconds, we can now see the Cullen's wide yard. I can also hear the river nearby more clearly. Of course, I wouldn't miss the open house.
"Wow." Carlie said as she took in her surroundings.
"It's pretty, momma. Is this where we going to leave?" Nessie asked. Alice beat me to it.
"Yup. And as soon as everything is settled, I'm going to take you two shopping!" She said as she parked in what I think was the huge garage. The Mercedes was already there and I heard the others talking inside already.
"Isn't it a little too early for shopping? We just got here you know." I said as the girls and I stepped out the house.
"Not gonna work, Bella." Jasper said. I sighed.
"Of course not. Still Alice, maybe you can go shopping tomorrow."
"Hmm… Lemme think…" She pretended to think for two seconds and I rolled my eyes. "Nope. Fat chance. Besides, we can do early bonding. You can come too if you want. Rosalie will come, too." She and Jasper went inside the house. Someone tugged my jeans.
"Momma?"
"Oh, yeah, sorry. Your Aunt Alice asked me if she and your Aunt Rosalie can take you two shopping. Do you want to?" I picked them up and walked to the house.
Will you come, too? Carlie asked me.
I nodded. "If you want." They both smiled at me.
"Sure then."
"Yey!" Alice said as she bounced in front of us. "We'll leave in three hours, though. Carlisle and the family still wanted to talk and you'll take your rest first. Emmett brought your luggage to your room already. Third floor last door to the left of the hall."
Wait a minute…
"Isn't that across – "
"Yeah. Your okay with that, right? Or do you want to move closer to his room?"
"We're good." I started going to the stairs but stopped when I saw Carlisle and Esme cuddling on the love seat. "Carlisle, Esme, thank you again for allowing us here."
They went closer and hugged me and my twins. "You're always welcome, Bella. Anything you need, okay? Just don't hesitate to ask. We're family now."
I smiled again. "Okay. Thanks again. I'll just clean up the room and make this two take their naps." Both of the twins frowned and Carlisle & Esme looked curious. "They sleep," I looked at the two, "and take their naps, too."
Both of them groaned. Their grandparents laughed.
"You two should take your rests, your mommy's right." Esme said then she turned to me. "Would you need help in arranging things?"
"It's okay, Esme. We'll see you later."
The room is big – smaller than our chamber in Volterra but it's still spacious and light. There's a big queen size bed at the right corner where our luggage was placed. I set the twins down.
"Is this going to be our room?" Nessie said as she and Carlie walked and plopped down to the bed. "This bed is so comfy!"
I chuckled. "Yep this is going to be our room. And you two should take your nap now-no more stalling. I'll clean up here."
They both sighed. "Yes, momma."
When they were both situated on the bed, Nessie sat up. "We're still going shopping, right?"
I heard Alice laugh and said, "She's so different from Bella in that sense. Fortunately!"
"Yes, yes. We're still going later. Now go sleep or else we're not going."
She quickly snuggled close to Carlie and closed her eyes like her twin. I can't help smiling. They look so alike yet so different.
As I was closing the door, I looked across the hall to see his bedroom door closed and the pain in my heart made itself known again.
Yes, we're here with the family. Still, he's not here. What am I going to do when he showed up?
I don't know, really. I just wished that he'll meet the twins someday. And accept. I don't wish for him to love me because I know he won't. He don't. And there's no sense in hanging onto it.
Unfortunately, I still do.
I sighed as I close the door and went back to arrange our stuffs to our new home.
Don't you just love me for stalling? LOL. Sorry if I seem like I do. Still, bonding time next chapter. I'll try to do this on other's POV. I just hope I can. REVIEW PLEASE! 3
love lots ~
