Eternally together
Chapter 9-Proper Introductions
Edwards POV
Robert ran Harmony back into the house where the family was all gathered in the main entrance of the house in a long line. Robert then made his way between Renesmee and Jacob as soon as they arrived. Harmony's mind was going a million miles a second. 'Will they like me, am I going to attack them, will a human walk by and I kill them, ooo look at the beautiful reflections on the ceiling.' I had to hold back a giggle at the last thought. Harmony's mind was so comical to me.
"Hello" her quiet voice mumbled. It sounded so soothing, like flute, or a violin.
"Hello Harmony, I see we have ourselves an extremely well behaved new born on our hands" Carlisle stated. I could see Rosalie scolding everyone with her eyes, she was furious that we made another human a vampire- knowing that she would die without the intervention she was still enraged. Harmony was no exception to her harsh gaze. Not only that but Rosalie couldn't get the jealousy out of her head 'I am much prettier, Emmett is so going to pay for that wolf whistle, I'll set the werewolves on him; that's what I'll do!'
"Harmony, I am Edward as I have already introduced myself. I haven't heard much about you; though I did nit pick Alice quite a bit" I smirked holding out my hand. She raced over to my side and shook my hand. "Ah" I winced. She sure was strong, nearly crushed my hand. Perhaps it would be excellent if the Volturi visited sooner rather then later? I could already hear the apology and shock in Harmony's mind.
"Oh my, I'm so sorry Edward, I keep forgetting, I've only been like this less then an hour I am eternally sorry I just…"
"Not a problem, no blood no foul." I grinned. She seemed repentant enough. Bella was squirming next to be, no doubt her cheeks would be flushed if her heart allowed it.
"Bella" she smiled weakly holding out her hand. Harmony was more cautious in accepting her hand. 'Will I crush her too, gees how do I react lightly, oh my, Edward can probably hear me, please, please don't tell everyone how much of a wreck I am'. She flustered. I smiled and nodded extremely subtly. She managed to shake Bella's hand gently enough.
"So sorry for not being here the last three days, precautions, you just were too, irresistible for me. I hope you don't mind" Bella said looking down and then meeting her gaze. I do wish I knew for sure what was running through her head right then, though I am pretty sure I can guess with startling accuracy after 200 years. Sometimes she does still manage to surprise me.
"Not a problem, I understand. I mean I don't really, but. Yeah" 'shut up you mess!' Harmony shouted internally at herself I held in a smile.
Alice held out her hand. 'She stained my white and red floral dress with blood, ahh well I should have known of all people!' Alice thought. I grinned, it was true.
"Pleased to meet you" she giggled. They had been inseparable as she continued to reel over the thoughts of the last few days, then suddenly as Robert flashed in her mind she began to replay the lines in Romeo and Juliet. I immediately shifted my gaze to her. She concentrated tremendously hard at her lines. She was hiding something to do with Robert from me.
"Alice?" I questioned
"I'm going to get something" she mumbled as she sprinted out the house and far away.
"Excuse her" Jasper said holding out his hand for a shake also. Harmony smiled and shook his hand. Jasper was almost as impressed as when Bella was a new born vampire, perhaps even more so. Harmony walked down the line and shook Rosalie's hand, when she met her torturous gaze Harmony's heart thumped twice in a row.
'Oh my God she hates me, she is going to tear me apart in my sleep, oh man, she is soooo beautiful'. I decided to help the girl out a bit.
"Harmony I don't think she is that beautiful" I spat out. Rosalie lost her line of thought which was along the lines of 'this little new comer, so stupid, she should have stayed a human, I hate my family they always do this, and I hope you don't think your prettier then me because I will scrape your face off and…'. And changed her tune to a more' damn straight you do'.
"Emmett" he stated as he held out his hand to her, she took it and shook it as gently as she could. He was a little disappointed at the lack of effort.
"Carlisle" he introduced smiling warmly. She shook his hand and he brought her in for a hug. Her smile went from ear to ear.
"Esme" she held out her hand. 'This is so unnecessary I already know all your names ten times over, It feels so formal, I hate this spot light, I hope I don't screw up'. Her mind was so similar to Bella's, I intently focused on her thoughts. Though a little more centered on herself. She followed to shake Jacobs hand and then Renesmee. Robert must have moved to the end of the line. She then reached out to shake Robert's hand. Her heart thumped twice yet again. We all shot her a look.
'Oh shoot, why are they all looking at me? So what-my heart thumped? Wait what does that mean? Are they over analyzing that, smile Harmony, smile. Oh man, what does that mean? Man Rob's eyes are so dreamy, I love it when they are green, get a grip!' She muttered. And then my thoughts were confirmed. She liked my grandson. Even if she didn't quite know it yet.
