Back To Forks- Chapter 12- The Parent Cards

****Renesmee POV****

"Wake up sleepy heads." I heard my mom say quietly by my ear. I could feel her shaking me lightly. We must have fallen asleep during the movie.

"Huh? What?" I opened my eyes and lifted up my head from Jacob's chest. "What is it? What's wrong?"

"Nothing, honey, you fell asleep during Eclipse. The movies are over. It's midnight. You should go back to your apartment."

"Aw man! I can't believe we were asleep for that long!"

"Oh trust me you can. I remember when your mom got home from going to Italy, after I- well you know. But anyway, after we got home she slept for like 14 hours." My dad was standing behind my mom. I laughed.

I started to shake Jake. He didn't flinch. I shook harder but all he did was grunt and snuggle deeper into the couch. I decided to try a different tactic. I leaned down and kissed him roughly. His eyes snapped open. I leaned away.

"Finally," I laughed quietly. "Jake, It's midnight sweetie. We fell asleep on the couch. We should get back to our apartment."

"Oh geez, we really fell asleep didn't we. " Jacob said groggily.

I stood up, rubbed my eyes and stretched a little. Jacob sat up on the couch. He stretched out his arms and legs. He reached a hand in my direction and asked, "Help me up?" I put my hand in his and pulled hard. He wobbled a little but he didn't fall back down.

"Oh, Jake. It's so good to see you upright on your own." I smiled big and put my arms around his waist and squeezed, I buried my face into his chest. I felt him kiss the top of my head.

"C'mon. Let's get back. I'm still exhausted." He chuckled and pulled me toward the back door. He didn't take the minute to take his clothes off to phase. He just phased ripping his clothes to shreds around him. I could hear Carlisle let out a sigh of relief and I realized that he had told Jacob not to phase for 24 hours. I laughed and climbed onto his back and we ran into the forest towards our small home.

****Edward's POV****

Bella came over and leaned against me as Renesmee and Jacob ran away. I wrapped my arms around her and laid my head on the top of her head.

"Edward, go after them and make sure they are sleeping." Bella said looking up into my face after they were out of sight.

"Why? They're beat; they are not going to stay up." I said confused on why she would ask me of this. We both knew they weren't that stupid.

"Well, I wouldn't be half surprised if they did. They almost lost each other, do you think they are NOT going to 'celebrate'?"

"Oh, dang, your right. I slipped out from her arms and into the cold night air. I followed their combined scent. Jacob's didn't bother me anymore, I was used to it. I was at their apartment quickly, and I peered into their bedroom window. I had to look away, I couldn't see my daughter like this.

Bella was right. Dammit.

I didn't know what to do. I can't just barge in there. That would just give me a pass to see things I didn't want to. But, I can't let Renesmee, my daughter, be hurt like that again. I rapped loudly on their window and as they looked up startled and pulled the blanket around themselves quickly, Iran into their house through the front and into their bedroom. To see two very angry, annoyed, and embarrassed faces.

Always here at the wrong times. I now see why everyone says they hate their parents. I heard Renesmee think angrily. I know it is supposed to be like this between parents but it still hurt. Bad.

"Well I guess you're going to hate me even more." I said pointedly to Renesmee, and then demanded, " Jacob, Renesmee? How could you?!" They tried to interject. But, I ignored them and continued, "Jacob do you want to tear up my daughter like that again?! Do you want to see her like that? And Renesmee, do you want to feel like that again? Do you want that to happen to you? And have Jacob have to go through that? Do you want to almost lose Jacob again?" I was yelling. Renesmee had tears streaming down her face. I felt bad, but my anger overtook me.

"You know I don't want that to happen, Edward." Jacob tried to protest.

"Oh, what is it now? I can't help it? Or even it's hard to change our schedule? Or It's hard to seclude our love for each other?"

"Daddy," Renesmee whimpered. Jacob hugged her to his chest.

"Hasn't she been through enough?" Jacob hissed at me.

"No, haven't YOU put her through enough. You know you could be in a very bad condition if you don't get enough sleep right? Did you know that?"

"Not really. And tell me after you almost lost Bella all those times that you didn't want this." Jacob spat back. That was a low blow.

"You know we couldn't then. You know it wasn't safe."

"I just asked if you wanted to."

Bella appeared. She must have known I had been taking too long and come to the rescue.

"Edward, Jake, Calm down! I know your mad Edward, and I am too. And Jake I know how you feel, I have been there. But, if I come back and see you not sleeping again, you will see my wrath, and see how some parents are to their kids. But, right now we are going to leave, and you ARE going to go to sleep. Now." Bella started off yelling and her voice became quieter, but still had the same amount of threat and anger in it. She pulled me out of their bedroom and out of their house.

"You're so sexy when you're angry." I said looking towards her. She ran a little closer to me.

"Thanks. It must suck that I'm not that angry that often."

"It, truly does." I said sarcastically, and then added seriously, "You're always beautiful. You're just sexy when you're angry. I wouldn't have been surprised if your hair turned to snakes like medusa ."

"Ha Ha. And thanks again." She said kissing me on the cheek.

We ran into the main house to see everyone else in the same place as they were before.

"So, were they...you know…" Emmett asked when we collapsed out of stress of what we just did on the couch.

"Yes, they were." I replied curtly.

"I hate it when I have to pull out my mom card. Especially when Jacob is my best friend and Renesmee being so old now." Bella sighed and laid her head on my shoulder.

"Yeah, I know, I hate to pull out my crazy over-protective, dad card too." I pulled my legs up to lay them on the couch and Bella did the same on top of mine. I put my arms around her, and she laid her hand on my chest.
