Chapter 9
BPOV
Renesmee was sleeping by the time that we got back to the apartment. I laid her down in her bed and laid down with her and read. Jacob came home soon after. He came into the room to see if we were home yet. I put up a finger in front of my mouth, signaling for him to sat quiet. Getting up from the bed I grabbed his hand and pulled him into the living room.
"So how did it go?" Jake asked
"It went well. Edward and Nessie could barely let each other go. She finally let go so that she could go play with the other kids." I smiled at how well that the day did go.
I told Jake about Nessie and Edwards hug when we first arrived. I told him the things that I told Edward and about how much pride I could see in his eyes as I told him about his daughter. I told him that Edward invited us out to his house after Nessie woke up from her nap.
Jake was happy that Edward go along with Nessie and told me he hopes everything works out for us. I think that he is worried that he is going to lose us. He needn't worry hew was like a brother to me and he is Nessie's uncle. He would be forever be part of our lives. No matter what happened between Edward and I, Jake would always be part of my family.
A while later Nessie woke up and I called Edward to come get us. We figured it would just be easier for him to come get us then for him to give me directions which were kind of hard to follow he said. Nessie was bouncing off the walls by the time that Edward finally arrived to take us to his home.
While sitting in the car on the way to his house I began to get really nervous. I hadn't seen his family in four years. What if they were mad at me for the way I acted back then? They would have every right to be mad at the way I acted towards them after the fight with Victoria. I wouldn't blame them if they didn't like me any more. Edward noticed my worrying and grabbed my hand and entwined his fingers with mine giving them a slight squeeze.
"What's wrong Love?" My heart picked up its beat double time as I heard his old nickname for me. I felt that with him by my side that I could do anything. But it didn't take the worry away.
"Are they mad at me?" I asked in a small voice biting my lip waiting for his answer.
"Why would they be mad at you Bella? They love you, you know that." He threw a smile my way.
"Because of how I acted after the fight with Victoria. I ignored you guys and would flinch away from you all. I treated you guys horribly then." I told him honestly.
"Bella none of us are mad, angry or anything like that. We're just happy that you are better and happy again. If anyone should be mad it's you. We left you again after we promised never to leave you again." He picked up our entwined hands and kissed the back of my hand. I tried to give him a smile to try to fool him that I wasn't worried any more but I don't think it worked.
After some time we were pulling up in front of his house. Nessie was bouncing around in her booster seat eager to get out and meet the rest of her family. Climbing out of the car I opened the back door to help Nessie out of her seat. Holding her in my arms almost like she could shield me from what was about to come. I turned towards the house with Edward by my side.
It was then that I noticed his family all standing on the wrap around porch waiting for us. They all had huge smiles on their faces. Seeing them standing there with smiles on their faces made all my worries disappear. I smiled back as we approached them. Alice came running at me and smashing me and Nessie in a hug.
"Okay Alice it's nice to see you to but I kind of need to breath and your smashing Nessie." I said laughing at Alice's antics at seeing me again after so many years. She let go and smiled at me again before frowning and shaking her head.
"You still don't know how to dress yourself Bella. I swear you're still wearing the same clothes from four years ago. But I see you know how to dress Renesmee."
My face was bright red by the end of her little speech. It was true. Most of my clothes were from four years ago. When you have rent, bills, food to buy, and other miscellaneous things, not to mention a kid you had to buy clothes and things for you don't really have a lot of money left over for yourself.
"Mommy lets me pick out my own clothes." Nessie replied proudly. Everyone laughed at that. They all knew how I liked to dress and how I hated shopping. Nothing had changed about that either. Nessie and Alice would get along great. They were both hyper and loved all of the same things.
"Alright Alice lets leave Bella alone. There's nothing wrong with the way that Bella dresses." Esme came to my defense and saved me from the evil little pixie picking on my clothing.
"Thanks Esme." I replied truly grateful that Alice picking at me had been put to a stop.
"No problem Bella. Now come here I want to hug my daughter and my grandchild." I laughed at that and hugged her and Carlisle. I finished hugging them and Nessie asked for Esme so I handed her over. Just as I let go of her Emmett came up behind me and spun me around and gave me one of his famous bear hugs.
"Can't... Breathe... Emmett." I gasped out trying to get air into my now deprived lungs. Nessie jumped from Esme's arms and started to yell and hit Emmett. Trying to get him to leave me alone and quit hurting me.
"You're hurting my Mommy! Let her go you over sized giant." Nessie didn't pay attention to the adult standing around laughing at her antics to try to get Emmett to let me go. It was quite funny seeing a three and a half feet little girl try to beat up a giant like Emmett. Emmett let me go so that he could scoop up Nessie. He tickled her belly to make her laugh. After getting a few giggles out of her he said that he was sorry for hurting me. Which made Nessie happy and she went to Edward to be picked up.
After their little exchange we went into the house t sit in the living room and talk. I sat on the love seat next to Edward with Nessie in his lap. While the rest of the family sat on the remaining furniture.
"So Bella may I ask how you came up with the name Renesmee? I've never heard it before." Esme asked after everyone was seated.
I laughed lightly. "Her full name is Renesmee Carlie Cullen. I wanted her to have a part of all her grandparents and of course her fathers last name. Renesmee stands for Renee and Esme put together. Then Carlie is part of Carlisles name and Charlies. But she also goes by Nessie or Ness." I was smiling at the stunned looks on everyones faces.
"What?" I asked
"We're just surprised that's all." Esme said.
Nessie was the hit of the day. She had captured everyones hearts even Rosalie's who at first wasn't to happy about the fact that Edward and I had a child together. I didn't blame her I had something that she could never have and that she had always wanted.
Jasper loved her emotions and energy that Nessie gave off. Plus the fact that she made everyone happy. Alice loved her the fact that Nessie loved dressing up and shopping. They were right now in Alice's room looking at her closet full of clothes.
Carlisle and Esme loved how happy and care free that Nessie was. They were happy to have the chance to be grandparents to her. They loved the fact that she made Edward happy and the rest of they're adopted children too.
They were also proud of me. They were proud that even though I had gotten pregnant I had decided to still go to college. They knew that it had to have been hard to be new mom and taking a full schedule of classes and working while taking care of a child. But all in all they were just happy that I was back in their lives along with Nessie.
Before long it was getting dark and I told them that it was time for us to get going. I had school in the morning and it was time for Nessie's dinner and bed time.
Esme asked if she could come and get Ness in the morning and I said yes if that is what Nessie wanted to do. Jake could spend the day getting caught up on school work or hang out with Lizzie. He didn't really get to spend a lot of time with her without Nessie tagging along.
After everyone's good byes and hugs we left. Edward drove us back to our apartment and I invited him in to help get Nessie to bed and so I could spend more time with him. I didn't want him to go yet. I never wanted to be apart from him again.
