A/N the second update today.
As we walked through the forest, Alice suddenly stopped.
"Ky, take Sarahbella." I was about to protest, but then Kylie snatched Sarahbella from me and Alice scrambled onto my back and covered my eyes before I could.
"Hey! What are you doing?!" I asked, trying to squirm free. She held on tightly.
"Making sure you can't see. We did this with Bella once. She reacted the same." Alice told me.
"Imagine that." I heard Jacob say sarcastically.
"Just lead her forward!" Alice ordered. Jacob took my hand in one of his own and led me forward, carefully steering me so I didn't hit anything.
"Okay, stop!" Alice gave another order. I stopped as Jacob did.
"And you can open your eyes." Alice hopped off my back and uncovered my eyes. I had to blink a couple times to let my eyes adjust again. Then I saw it. A cottage, no bigger than the one mom, dad and Masen lived in. It was set in a small meadow. Roses bloomed in the yard, a cobblestone path leading up to the front door, painted a rosy red.
"Do you like it?!" Kylie asked excitedly from beside me. She was gently bouncing Sarahbella up and down.
"I… I love it!" I said in shock, unable to take my eyes off it. Alice hugged me around the waist.
"I knew you would! Okay, we should leave them for some family time." She said the last part to Kylie. Kylie frowned.
"Fine. But I get to see my niece tomorrow." She said, reluctantly handing Sarahbella back to me. I automatically cradled my daughter to my chest.
"Technically, you aren't Renesmee's sister, you're her cousin." Alice reminded her. Kylie frowned again.
"Hmm….Second cousin then?" They left, discussing loudly about how Kylie was related to Sarahbella and William. Jacob smiled from the other side of me. He was holding William, who had fallen asleep again. I looked down at Sarahbella. She was awake and smiling at me. I smiled back at her.
"Let's go inside." He told me, holding up a key. We walked up to the door and Jacob unlocked it. He swung the door open and we walked in. The living room was small, but big enough that Jacob didn't bang his head on anything. The floor was slick hardwood. There was a black leather couch, facing the fireplace that glowed with orange flames. A dark red chair sat closer to the fireplace with a matching, low ottoman in front of it. I crossed the room into the dinning room, where a dark table was set with two height-chairs for Sarahbella and William and two regular chairs for Jacob and me. A small kitchen was off that. I followed Jacob down the hallway, the walls of which were covered pictures of my family.
"Alice, Rosalie and Esme had to work fast to get Sarahbella and William's bedrooms ready. Especially since they were always coming back here for 'breaks' to see them." Jacob told me. I smiled.
"Sounds like them." I agreed. I ducked into the room with the pink door, knowing it was Sarahbella's. Inside was a large, frilly, pink bassinet. Stuffed animals lined the floor and shelves on the wall. The floor changed from dark wood floors to a soft, pink carpeted one. There was a closet, open just enough for me to see it was almost as big as the room itself and stocked with frilly baby clothes.
"Want to see William's?" Jacob asked quietly. I nodded once. I gently set Sarahbella down in her bassinet. She was drifting off to sleep. Once she was in her comfy bassinet, she fell completely asleep. I followed Jacob into William's room. He had a dark wood cradle, as much stuffed animals as Sarahbella and his closet was just as big and stocked the same. His floor turned into blue carpet.
"They did this in just one day?" I asked as Jacob put William down in his cradle. He nodded.
"They work fast." He took my hand and led me into the master bedroom. The bed was huge and white, with a thin canopy around it. The walls were painted a dark tan.
"Wow." Was all I could say.
"Yeah. Wow." Jacob agreed. I turned around and kissed him.
"This is perfect."
