I do not own Twilight
Chapter Twelve
I stepped down on the gas pedal, speeding up the highway towards Seattle in Edward's Volvo. There was a light rain today that was softly hitting against my windshield. It was the only sound I could hear as I drove in silence with a million thoughts racing through my head. It's impossible, but right now I think I'm getting a vampire migraine.
I couldn't believe I was doing this. I didn't even bring it up with Rosalie or Emmett yet. I didn't even want to mention a thing to Edward. In fact, no one knows what I am planning.
Luckily I've been able to avoid Alice's visions due to being able to trick her after years of living with her. I know Aro will be mostly focused on her, and I don't think Alice knowing this information will be safe for anyone.
I feel like if I do tell anyone, Rose might be the safest to tell. I'll have to wait until I can get her alone though. I know it is wrong of me to be making decisions like this when Emalie isn't even my child, but I know Rose might want these if she wants her daughter to escape unharmed.
Today was the perfect day for the pick-up. Edward was too occupied with the others at the Cullen home, Alice went with Jasper on a hunt, and Rosalie took me, Renesmee, Jacob, Seth, and Emalie to visit her father to decorate his Christmas tree.
Seth's sister, Leah, and Rosalie's twin brothers are there as well. I met them all briefly before I had to leave, and they seemed like nice people.
Rose's father, Henry, seemed very nice. He is the divorced police chief here in Forks. I think his kids all got his looks because they all have the same blonde hair and violet blue eyes. He reminds me of Santa Claus with his jolly attitude, rosy cheeks, and hardy laugh.
Henry adores Rose and his granddaughter. I think they are the two most important girls in his life. Emalie also adores Henry just like he adores her. The moment we pulled up to the house Emalie didn't waste time as she ran straight into Henry's open arms.
Rosalie's twin brothers, Brandon and George, seemed like characters. Out of the two, Brandon was the more reserved twin. George is still single and a complete and utter goofball. I heard him and Emmett get along just fine.
Brandon is Rose's twin brother that was imprinted on by Leah, and the two are madly in love with each other. From the moment I met them they didn't leave one another's side. Rose mentioned that both have been hurt in the past by ex-lovers, so they didn't like to be apart from one another. I think it also has to do with the imprinting. Their desire for one another was multiplied from their bond.
The twins are best friends with Seth. I learn that's how the Clearwater's became close to the Hale family. Leah and Rose are close too, but not as close as Seth and the Hale twins.
I ended up telling the Hale family and the others that I couldn't stay long because I had to run a few errands in Seattle, which didn't seem to phase anyone. Something tells me only Renesmee knew I was lying, but I think she knows to stay out of it. I rarely lie to anyone, and somehow Renesmee always seems to know when I am.
I think Jasper knows something is up as well since I asked him for J's number. He seemed a bit confused, but reluctantly gave it to me.
I was going to be meeting Jason Jenks at his office here in Seattle. I know the order must be ready, he's never been late with an order and neither has his late partner.
I haven't seen J in over ten years. I called him late the other night after Alice's vision when I could get alone. I told Edward I needed to go on a quick hunt alone to clear my thoughts. He was apprehensive at first, and tried to let me go with him, but I was able to convince him otherwise.
It was in the middle of the woods that I called J and made sure we could meet up with one another at his office. I'm pretty lucky that he still lives in Seattle. It'll make this process much more easier and more secretive.
I park the Volvo in the parking lot of J's firm. To cover up his other business he works as a lawyer. I guess that's how he's been able to get all the forged documents all these years.
I enter the firm to see it hasn't changed since the last time Jasper took me with him. I noticed a little old woman was at the front desk and there was only one door leading to J's office.
"Hello, dear," The lady said to me. "How may I help you?"
"I'm looking for Mr. Jenks. I have an appointment with him," I answer her. She nods and then rings J to come in.
He smiles when he see's me and goes to approach me with a friendly hug. J always liked me compared to Jasper. I was the nice one. I didn't scare J as much as Jasper scared him. You see, Jasper and I had this whole good cop, bad cop thing we used against J to get documents quickly. That's one of the reasons why we've been able to maintain a business with him. He's too scared to tell anyone we're well preserved.
"Hello Miss Swan, nice to see you again. It's been awhile," He said. I nod in agreement.
"It has been," I agree.
"I take it Mr. Jasper isn't here," he said, looking to see Jasper was nowhere near me.
"Yes...in fact he doesn't know I'm here. I need to make a private order," I said to him. My voice was quiet, but it's tone was firm.
J nods as he then looks towards his secretary. "We'll be in the back room," he told her. She nods as he brings me into his office and closes the door behind me.
He pulls the chair out for me, acting like a gentleman, but I knew J was acting like this because he's still scared of me even though I am the good cop.
"So I take it you have the delivery?" I asked formally. He nods as he goes to hand me the envelope. I carefully open it to see four birth certificates and four past ports.
I have Renesmee down as Vanessa Wolfe and Emalie as Emily Wolfe. I also had Jacob and Seth down as Jacob Wolfe and Seth Wolfe. If this wasn't a life or death situation, I could picture my daughter getting a kick out of the names.
"So might I ask, what is this order for?" J asked me, curiously, peering over the desk. I slip the documents into the envelope and tuck it into my jacket.
"I need to protect some people in my family. Thank you J," I tell him curtly.
"No problem, Miss Swan," he said.
I noticed he seemed a bit anxious still as I then left the office with the envelope secure in my jacket pocket. Form there I buy four tickets for them to go to Brazil, where our home in jungle is. Renesmee should know how to get back to our Amazon home from the from there they'll be able to figure out what to do next.
They should be safe at our home. It was secluded in the Amazonian jungles and no one has ever found us there in all of my years, and I doubt any tracker could figure out where we are located. There are so many scents in the Amazon of passing vampires and animals that it could throw them off for a good period of time.
Once I'm done I drive back to Rose's dad's white home at the edge of Forks. I noticed Rose saw me when I pulled up to house and decided to greet me first. Renesmee seemed busy in the house as she leaned in Jacob while they helped Emalie put on the ornaments on the tree. George was making everyone laugh with some joke, so hey were too occupied to hear the following conversation I was going to have with Rose.
I decided that Rose should be the first to hear about this. She is Emalie's mother, and even though I trust my brother with my life, I feel like Rose is the one I need to tell first. She knows where I'm coming from. She's a fellow mother, and a strong woman that is searching for ways to save her daughter from the possible wrath of the Volturi. I wasn't going to go into detail about what the passports say or what where they're destination is going to be. That is only going to be known by me, and only me.
"Hey, Bella," Rose greeted me as she approached the car.
"Hey," I greet her back as I lean against the Volvo. "Rose..I need to talk to you about something."
"What?" she asked curiously, her eyebrows furrowed together as she looked at me with soft topaz eyes.
"It's about the fight, and a way to protect Emalie and Renesmee. The thing is it's only safe with me because my thoughts cannot be read and it's safe in my mind from Aro."
"What is it?" she asked me, her tone anxious.
"Look, I made some um documents that'll help them be able to leave the country from an old friend of Jasper and me. I can't tell you where, but if it comes down to our doom I have a back up plan." I explained to her. She seemed a bit surprised, but I continued, " I hope you're not mad...I know I'm not Emalie's mother but this is for Renesmee too. I do not want her in the battle as much as you don't want Emalie there, and I know if it does come down to a battle and we do all...you know..at least Renesmee could take care of Emalie with Jacob and Seth. This is only if they have to run."
I look closely at Rosalie's face as I finish up. She looked at me for a few moments before she threw her arms around me in a bone crushing hug that could give Emmett or Alice a run for their money.
Though, I was completely taken surprised by her actions. Rose never seemed like the hugging type of person or one to show many emotions. She is kind, but she keeps her true feelings locked up most of the time.
This was the soft and kind side of Rose that I don't think she reveals to many people outside of her family. When I first met her she was like a stone wall, but as I got closer to her she warmed up. I got to see a side of Rose I don't think many people see.
"Thank you," she told me, her voice was almost a whisper. "I can never be mad at you, Bella. You just found a way to protect my baby. My reason for living. I had no clue what I was going to do if it came down to that, but thanks. You are her aunt anyway, it's only natural for you to care for Emalie like this as well," She said, pulling away from me. I could see the venom was pooling up in her eyes and there was a soft smile on her face.
"I mean, look at George and Brandon. Emalie has them wrapped around her tiny little finger," she teased, lightening up the mood. I chuckled with her as we looked up towards the window where the others were.
"Are you going to tell the others?" she asked me.
"At one point, yes. For now, I'm just telling you. I don't feel like many people should know this. Anyway I'm the only one who is going to know what the passports say and where the plane goes. That's all safe up here," I said to her, pointing at my head.
"Good," she said. We stared at our family for a few moments before she broke the silence. "You think it'll come down to that though? The battle, them running away, our...doom."
"I hope not, but something tells me the Volturi want us gone...if they chose to end us...then so be it. At least we'll fight till the end," I said, my tone quiet as I looked down towards my feet. Rose nods in agreement as she places a hand on my shoulder.
"Come on, the others want you to join. It'll be fun," Rose said motioning to her house, a friendly grin appearing on her lips.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, come on," she encouraged me, tugging at my arm.
"Alright," I agree, letting her drag me into the home with a triumphing smile.
When I entered I smiled automatically at the kindness from the Hale family. Renesmee, Jacob, Seth, and Emalie seemed to be having a good time as they decorated the tree with Henry, George, Leah, and Brandon. I decided to talk to Rose during this time as we watched them enjoy the time they had with one another.
Though Edward was on my mind for the rest of the day. I couldn't wait to get back home so I could be in his arms. It feels like it's been forever since I was wrapped up in his strong arms.
The time finally came to leave as I drove home with the others. I automatically heard Edward's music fill my ears as I pulled the car up to the Cullen home. Looks like he was playing for me.
I knew the melody he was playing instantly. It was my lullaby. He use to hum it for me when I was a human.
Renesmee heads with Jacob, Seth, Emalie, and Rose to the living room while I follow the sound of Edward's angelic notes.
I kept walking until I found him right beside a grand piano. Something about this image made my dead heart soar. He looked so perfect as his fingers hit each key right. His hair was perfectly tousled and his face shone with love. He seemed to be so gentle as he hit each key. It was like he was tapping them oh so lightly, causing the house to be filled with the sound of a beautiful melody.
I slowly approached him from behind and quietly went to sit down on the bench next to him. The beautiful notes filled my ears as I closed my eyes for a bit. I relax to the sound and let myself feel like I'm floating around the room. I just thought about Edward, our love, and everything I want with him.
At one point the melody stopped and I didn't open up my eyes until I felt a pair of familiar muscular arms wrap around my small frame.
"You know that's your lullaby," Edward whispered into my ear. I grinned as I turned around so my eyes so meet with his beautiful liquid topaz eyes.
"I know...and I missed it," I said softly as I reached up to kiss his lips.
He wraps his hands around my torso and pulls me closer to him. I climb onto his lap and let our kisses become more heated. I felt myself beginning to undo the buttons of his shirt and he is slowly trying to shrug off my sweater.
"Shouldn't we head somewhere more private, the home is filled with a bunch of vampires. Emmett will yell at us, along with the others," I panted. He shrugged.
"I don't care...I missed you," he whispered as he went to kiss up my neck. I moan at his gentle touch on my stone hard skin. His touch felt light as a feather and his kisses seemed to heat up my cool body.
"Get a room!" I heard Emmett yell far off in the house. "I better not hear any noises in the next five minutes or I'm gonna beak it up!"
"Told you." I giggle as Edward and I pull apart. He had a goofy smile forming on his perfectly chiseled face.
"You want to go into the woods?" I whispered to him. He nods as I take his hand and dragged him into the woods. When we were a good mile in I frantically pin him up against a tree. My lips touched his in an instant and they automatically molded to his.
"I waited over sixty years to do this again," I said softly as I unbuttoned his shirt.
"You and me both," He whispered into my ear. I grin as I kiss him once more. I grip to his bronze hair and his firm hands were running up and down my torso. Soon everything became heightened and all that was on my mind was Edward.
Just Edward.
Pure Bliss.
Edward and I ran back to the house after a good few hours and decided to move to his couch. Renesmee probably won't ever want to sit on this couch again, but at least she wasn't sleeping on it anymore. Edward ordered her a bed the other day, so the couch was all ours.
I knew the others were out right now, feeding or enjoying their own mates somewhere in a secluded part of Forks. I knew Rosalie and Emmett retreated to the small little cottage they owned while Alice and Jasper were getting heated in a closet.
Jacob and Seth decided to take Emalie and Renesmee to La Push and they even let Nahuel tag along. I know Jacob isn't a big fan of him, but the two have gotten along for Renesmee's sake.
"I missed this," I confessed as I laid my head against Edward's stone chest. "I know we only got to experience this once, but I missed it. I really missed it."
"I know, love," Edward said as he stroked my hair. "I missed having you in my life, I missed giving you love, I missed your love, I missed everything about you."
"Edward?"
"Hmmm?"
"Do you miss me being human?" I asked as I turned around so I could face him. He sighs as his hand reaches up to stroke my cheek.
"Not really, I'll love you no matter what you are. Even though I was against you becoming a vampire, I'm just glad I have you in my arms again. I needed you Bella. Leaving you was the most stupidest thing I ever did. When I left you, I felt like I left a part of my heart," He said to me sincerely. His voice was raw and I could hear the sadness in it.
I stroke his cheek and gently place a kiss on it.
"But I take it that it's whole again," I tease with him. He nods as a playful smirk comes onto his Adonis face.
"I know the feeling. I felt the same when I saw you again. I felt like I was finally me again, like everything in my life was complete...Edward you have had my heart for the past sixty years and you always will," I whispered. He goes to places his hand on my chest, right over my still heart. I touch the hand he has on my chest and plant a kiss on it.
"As much as I love the home I've created with Renesmee, Alice, and Jasper...my home has always been here," I said as I placed my own hand on the spot right above his dead heart. He smiles softly at me before reaching up and gently letting his fingers run through my hair.
"You know I don't miss much about you being a human. I do admit I miss your blush." He goes to crease his hand against my cheek. "I do miss your clumsiness. I loved catching you...I miss the sound of your heart beat. But you as a vampire, I've never met a vampire as strong as you. I feel like I can conquer anything with you at my side, Bella. You are strong, selfless, quick thinking, a wonderful mother, and you are still the sweet and caring girl I knew. And you are still mine."I smile as I place a gentle kiss on his lips.
"We're going to get through this," I whispered to him. "Somehow, I know it. We are going to be a family and then we'll get married. Edward we will have a forever together, whether the Volturi like it or not."
I go to kiss his lips once again as he pulls me closer to him. Soon our bodies intwined with each other and were perfectly modeled to each other. Our love seemed to grow even more.
He was my forever and I wasn't going to let go of him ever again.
A/N: Hey guys! So, how did you like it? I know it's a bit similar to Breaking Dawn, but that's kind of the course it's going for a little bit.
