Chapter 11
A week has gone by since Char and Peter has been here with no casualties except with Peter and Emmett. They were play fighting, like you know, when you fool around; however, it got a little too serious and Jasper and Carlisle had to step in and break it up before anything bad happened. Other than that, everything has been fine. Jasper has been catching up with Peter while Alice chatted with Char about who knows what. I've also had a few calls from my dad, although, even though it kills me, I just keep on lying about the Cullens, but my life couldn't be any better.
Glancing up, I smiled at Edward who was playing with my hair and once and a while kissing my head and whispering sweet non-sense in my ears so nobody else could hear. My eyes were beginning to become blurry and I was about to doze off when I felt my phone vibrate. Reluctantly, I sighed while Edward unwrapped his arms from around me.
As soon as I was outside, I answered on the third ring. "Hello?"
"Hi darling, are you ok?" dad questioned.
"Yeah dad, I was just about asleep when you called. So I'm just tired that's all," I replied.
"Ok, I won't be long then. I just want to tell you a surprise."
Uh-Oh.
"Really… what is it?" I nervously asked, unsure.
"Well I, your uncles, and some of the guard are going to be down south dealing with the wars that are starting up again. So we thought it would be good to come up and see you!" he excitedly replies.
Only one thought zoomed over in my mind: Oh. My. God! This could not be happening! When they come, they'll smell the Cullens all over me and get suspicious.
I was rabbling inside my head when I got brought out of my sputtering.
"Bells are you there?" dad asks, worried.
"Sorry dad I was just in shock! Of course that would be a great idea; I miss you guys so much!" I gushed out a laugh.
"Ok great, so we have to go to the south in a week and then we will call you when we are half way to Washington," he explains.
"Ok dad, can't wait!" I fake enthusiasm.
"Ok Hun, bye," he said before hanging up.
Then it was silent as I stood there, still shocked out of my mind. I just couldn't believe that they were coming. Standing there, I was freaking out. It seemed hours went by before someone's hands rested on my shoulders, shaking me slightly. Faintly, I heard a voice call my name. Shaking my head, I looked up with panicked eyes to see Edward.
"Love, what's the matter?" he questioned as I started balling my eyes out, throwing myself into his embrace.
"Family… coming…week…trouble" I gasped out, still tears streaking down my cheeks and shudders racking my body.
Edward sighed and picked me up before walking me to a chair and sitting me on his lap. Sniffling, I gazed down to the ground to see another pair of feet. Tears suddenly came to my eyes as I looked up to Carlisle before quickly looking back down so he wouldn't see my tears.
"Bella, Carlisle is going to take a look at you ok?" Edward asked as I nodded.
I felt finger underneath my chin making me look up at Carlisle.
"Ok Bella, I want you to look at me and take deep breaths, just calm down," he instructed quietly.
I did as he said and was starting to come out of my hysterics.
"Ok Bella, now that you are calmed down, can you tell us what you were trying to say?" I nodded and took a deep breath.
"Ok...that was my dad on the phone-and- he said that they had a problem something about the wars starting up again in the south. He said that once they were finished that they were coming up here to see me," I explained before bursting out crying once again.
"Why is that a bad thing sweetie? Don't you want to see your dad and family?" Carlisle questioned softly
"I do, but they're going to smell you all over me and then they are going to get mad then something very, very bad is going to happen!" I cried and hugged Edward closer to me. He picked me up again and carried me inside the house. We went to the living room and sat down where everyone else was.
"Bells remember what I said, that if they come and they want to hurt us it won't happen because we will kick some serious ass," Emmett said as everybody nodded in agreement, but Esme was looking disapproving at him for his language. I had to hold back a laugh, but couldn't as a giggle escape my lips. Everybody smiled when they heard and Edward started tickling my sides.
"You find that funny that Emmett is about in trouble for using bad language do you?" he chuckled.
I couldn't form a sentence, so I nodded while laughing hysterically, squirming under his hands. I was just about to die from laughing.
"St…st…Edward! Please stop!" I giggled.
After a couple minutes of him tickling me to the ends of the earth, Edward finally stopped and bent down to kiss my neck. Once that was over, everyone went back to what we were doing, but one thing was different. Peter was glaring at Edward and Edward was staring intently back. After some time went by, I felt Edward nod and shifted me so I was on the couch instead of his lap. He went to get up, but I grabbed his arm before he could.
"Its ok love, I'll be right back. Peter and I are just going to talk about something." He explained, smiling softly, and then placing a kiss on my lips. I sighed and leaned around him to send a glare at Peter that said, 'hurt him and you're dead'. He nodded and got up, following Edward out the door. Once the door was closed, I started worrying about what Peter was going to do to Edward.
I felt calming waves come and sooth me. I looked over to Jasper who was across from me. He got up and sat beside me, putting an arm around me and pulling me closer.
"Bella, you have no reason to worry. I think Peter is just going to have a talk with Edward about his intentions are with you and all that stuff. You have to remember that he sees you as a daughter. So he thinks it's his responsibility to give the boys the 'if you hurt her, ill hurt you' talk." Jasper smiled down at me.
"Are you sure?" I whispered and looked up at him.
"I am one hundred percent positive," he replied seriously.
I nodded and relaxed into his side as I gently leaned my head on his chest and fell asleep. Next thing I know, Jasper is nudging me awake.
"Darlin' their back," he whispered in my ear.
At that, I jumped up and looked towards the door to see Peter's arm on Edwards shoulder while they laughing at something. I don't know how big my smile was, but it was huge. Edward and Peter finished laughing, then they went their separate ways; Edward came over to me.
"Hey love," Edward said and took Jaspers spot beside me, pulling me to his lap again.
I looked up at him about to ask what they talked about, but he silenced me with his lips.
"It's nothing you need to worry about," he said after pulling away from kissing me.
I looked over to the clock, reading it: eleven o'clock at night. I was starting to get tired. I tried to stifle a yawn, but Edward noticed how tired I was and he started picking me up as I tried to protest; however, it wasn't happening.
"Its bed time for the vampire/ human hybrid," he jokily said.
I huffed and hid my face in his chest as he just chuckled. Everyone said night to me while I grumbled back to them, making them laugh. Next thing I knew, I was in the bed, passed out with Edward next to me.
I woke by the sun shining in my face. I groaned and pulled the cover up over my head to attempt to stop the evil sun rays waking me up even more than I was. I heard a little chuckle beside me.
"Shut up, stupid sun woke me up." I sighed before poking my head out of the covers and looked at the god beside me.
"Mornin' love," he simply said, kiss me.
I just groaned again and rolled over so I was right beside and up against his side, sighing in bliss. I was so comfortable in the moment I could have lied there forever. Then the incidents from yesterday came back to me. Dad calling, them coming to visit in a week, and Peter taking to Edward.
"Why don't you get ready? Esme is making some breakfast for you down stairs."
I jumped out of bed and headed to Edward's closet was and where Alice has put some of my clothes. I went in and got a pair of sweats and then I couldn't decide on what shirt, so I grabbed one of Edward's sweat shirts and slid it on.
I walked out of the closet to find Edward slipping on one of his t-shirts over his head. When he saw me he smiled and walked over to me, wrapping his arms around my waist as he bent down to kiss my forehead. We stood there for a while and just stayed in the moment. He then looked down at me and whispered, "I love how you're wearing my clothes. It shows people that you're with me."
He smiled while I blushed crimson.
"I love your blush to," He informed me in a quiet smooth voice that made me blush even more.
Edward just shook his head and steered me out of the room down stairs to the kitchen, to where Esme was cooking bacon and it looked like Emmett was attempting to make toast with a pile that was burnt beside him. I sat down in a stool at the counter.
"Hello dear, did you sleep well?" Esme asked.
"Yes I did. Thanks Esme, but you didn't have to do all this, I could have done it on my own," I said hastily.
"Dear, it was no problem! I love to cook."
She smiled motherly at me, than turned back to the stove, turning it down so the bacon sizzled.
"AHH!" I jumped three feet in the air.
"Emmett! Why did you have to yell at this time in the morning?" I yelled
"This stupid toaster thing keeps turning the bread black," he yelled back.
I sighed and walked over to see the toaster. He had the heat all the way up. I sighed and turned it down
"Emmett, next time check the heat. Now try it," I laughed and walked back to the stool. Edward sat beside me laughing.
"Edward be nice! At least he is trying!" I scolded him.
He looked down like he was scared in what I was going to say to him next. I leaned over the counter and put my head down and smiled so no one could see.
"Ohh! Eddies in trouble," Emmett taunted.
"Emmett shut up!" I and Edward yelled at the same time.
"Jeez! Sorry, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed," he said quieter.
I picked up the closest thing near me, which ended up being a wooden spoon and whipped it at his head with my actual strength. It flew through the air fast and he wasn't expecting it so when it hit his head and broke, he screamed and jumped like a girl. It went silent, though I started laughing so loud that fell off the chair, then everybody started to join me. I even saw Esmes shoulders shaking in quieted laughter.
"Mommy! She hit me with a spoon!" Emmett whined.
"Sorry dear, I didn't see anything, so I can't punish anyone. Also I'm sure you deserved it," Esme said while caring a plate with eggs and bacon on it over to me, setting it in front of me.
"But…but she hit me with a spoon!" He stuttered.
I just grinned at him, stuffing food in my mouth.
"Snooze you lose Em!" I cackled.
He huffed and walked out of the room, muttering something about his Rosie will believe him.
"Bella, I know he deserved it, but still it's not nice to hit people with my spoons and break them," Esme said sternly while smiling. "But I will let you get off it just this once," she said while kissing me on my forehead.
"Thank you Esme and if you want a new spoon, I'll buy one for you," I replied.
"No problem dear," she laughed and walked out of the kitchen to leave me and Edward alone.
"You know, he's planning his revenge on you right," Edward laughed.
"Yeah, I kinda figured he would, but I have an advantage," I said while I started eating again.
"Oh really and what would that be?" he questioned, quirking his eyebrow.
"I have a future seeing pixie on my side." I turned to him and smiled.
"Are you sure you aren't related to any of us?" he grinned.
"Oh god, I hope not!" I widened my eyes and swiped my hand across my forehead in 'phew' gesture.
"Oh my Bella, I love you," he said while leaning over and kissing me. "That was a bad idea," he laughed.
"What? Why?" I said in disbelieve.
"Because I just got the dreading taste of eggs and bacon," he laughed while looking a bit green.
"You ass! I thought you didn't want to kiss me! Never do that again!" I laughed, while hitting on the harm playfully.
"Sorry love, that just tasted really bad," he apologized.
"Well, not to me," I stated and took another bite.
Edward scrunched up his face in disgust.
"I don't know how you eat this stuff. It smells like dirt to me," he said while holding his nose shut.
"Easy, I put some on a fork and put some in my mouth, then chew and swallow," I explained to him like a five year old while showing him.
He just shook his head at my silliness. Although, with how everything is going so well, I couldn't ignore the thought in the back of my head that my family was coming in a week and it could either turn out very terrible or really fantastic. Definitely since I might just have to choose a side and there are millions of questions zooming through my mind, but the one biggest, most important question is...
What side will I choose in the end?
