Chapter 9

They were back to the house in less than ten seconds. Everyone was still in the same spots as they had been in when Bella and Renee has left. Edward and Carlisle opened their mouths to speak at the same time. That made Bella think they were probably going to say the same thing. Renee saw the looks and knew what they were going to say.
"Let's leave the phone calls for tomorrow, shall we? There's really no one to call anyway. Just those Quileutes on the reservation down in La Push. That's it. And, maybe I should call Phil. Just to let him know," she told them all in a short speech.
"Okay. We'll do that first thing in the morning." Carlisle agreed softly.
*I WISH I COULD SLEEP.* Bella thought to herself. Jasper could feel it.
"There's no way to make that possible, Bella."
"I know that. But, every girl can dream, can't she? Even if she's a vampire?"
"I suppose that's true. In the not so literal sense of the word." Jasper agreed.
"Yes." Edward looked at his wife curiously.
"It's nothing, Edward. Don't worry about it."
"Okay, love."
"So, when does my punishment start?" Emmett asked.
"We'll go shopping tomorrow. The six of us girls."
"Okay." The rest of the day went by pretty quietly and uneventfully. Bella mostly stayed wrapped in Edward's arms on the couch in the living room.

Everyone had just gathered in the kitchen when Renee had announced that she was hungry and wondered if she could make dinner. While they were sitting there, Renesmee asked a sudden question.
"Mommy? Daddy?"
"Yes, Nessie?" They answered at the same time.
"Where do humans go when they die?"
"They go to a wonderful place called heaven, where they get to see all their family members again who have gone there."
"And, did Grandpa go to heaven?"
"Yes." Bella had frozen slightly and Edward took over answering all the questions from here. Bella stopped breathing.
"Oh. Do vampires go to heaven to, if they die?"
"I think they do, Nessie."
"Oh. Who do you think Grandpa's with in heaven?"
"A lot of people. But, you've never met any of them."
"Oh. Why did Grandpa have to die and go to heaven? It's not fair. Now we'll never get to see him again."
"Renesmee Carlie, that's enough! We can talk about it another time." Edward spoke in an authoritative voice. Renesmee fell silent immediately.
"Sorry, Daddy." Bella tried to ignore the urge to get up and run. She remained in her seat and tried to force everything out of her body so that she wouldn't be feeling it. Renee finished eating with the room in a strained silence. Renesmee didn't say another word for the next hour after being yelled at by her father. She knew better than to cross him after she's already been yelled at for the first time. But, after that hour, Edward picked her up into his arms and kissed her forehead. He held her tightly. She put her hand to his cheek and showed him how sorry she was.
"It's all right, Nessie. I love you, baby."
"I love you too, Daddy." She asked him where Bella had gone, using her mind.
"I think she went out to the cottage. I'm not sure though."
"Is Mommy mad at me?" she asked.
"No. Renesmee, of course not. She's just sat that Grandpa died. She was getting pretty close with her dad before he died. She wasn't expecting him to have that stroke. Just ease up on the questions. Okay, Nessie?" She nodded and Edward put her down.
"Now, why don't you go find Aunt Alice or Uncle Jasper or someone and play for a little while so Mommy and Daddy can have some privacy in the cottage. If someone asks something of you, do what they ask, and don't leave the house alone."
"Okay, Daddy. I'll see you later." She went up the stairs. Edward watched her go and then went out to the cottage to find his wife. She wasn't there, but she had left a fresh trail with her scent that he could easily follow.
