Chapter 12 (Let's Get Egg Crazy!)

BPOV (Bella's)

The night was long and if even possible more boring then the day, I sat by my bedroom window watching the sky change. For once I could understand how Edward felt all those lonely years, I didn't envy him, not one bit. I didn't like being left with my thoughts because they only brought pain; I missed my family more than anything.

At one I decided to see if Alice had packed anything for this occasion she had, a bunch of paperback novels including a recently purchased Withering Heights. I smiled at the memories this book brought back, the ones of Edward teasing me over my old, very beaten up copy.

As soon as I opened the book James cried but to my surprise Mike was the one who went to his son. Feeling slightly guilty but just as much curious I followed hiding in the shadows. I jumped out my window and ran around the house to James' room.

I sat there in the window watching, Mike enter the room tiredly switching on the over head light. Walking over to the crib, he pulled out his son cradling him in his arms looking down at James in awe. Perhaps he did have some father instincts I thought.

I watched as Mike cleaned James and fed and prepared a hot bottle of milk, at that moment I felt my maternal instincts kicking in and all I wanted to do was go back to those few days when Rennesme was just a tiny baby. I regretted being out at that time of her life, because as soon as I woke she had become a tiny tot growing quickly and steadily.

I envied everyone who had been able to hold her most importantly Jacob who was able to snatch a piece of her heart the first time their eyes had met. I knew then, though I didn't want to- that they would last as long and be just as strong as Edward and I. I knew now that part of my baby was growing a childish crush on the boy just as Claire was with Quil. And I knew in only at the most a few short months or even worse a few weeks she would fall deeply in love with him.

I knew Rennesme's radical growth had slowed down and she now appeared as a twelve year old. I wondered if Jessica would notice the changes if she did the Cullen's would pretend it was Rennesme's birthday. She was literally growing so fast I wondered if she would leave us when she was older and live like Emily, with the pack.

James fell asleep in his father's arms; I smiled at this bonding moment if only it were on film. My eyes scanned the room for the first time I saw cameras on the ceiling. They must have been installed specifically for the show I thought. That made me question if they had seen the fight earlier I was praying they had, Jessica needed to see that moment and this tender one between her husband and son.

Mike left after giving his son a small peck on the cheek, turning off the light he exited James' nursery and headed back to bed. I sat there in the window for a few seconds before heading back to my room

Hours seemed to drag on in the never ending night, how had Edward survived so many lonely nights? I wondered I had already finished Withering Heights and two romantic novels. I counted the rest of the books Alice had brought, there were only five more how did she expect me to only need five books for two weeks? I questioned.

I turned to the window the sun was slowly rising in the west, the sky a mix of oranges and reds. I decided to go downstairs and pretend to have breakfast.

After walking gracefully down the stairs I headed into the small kitchen, I turned slowly in a circle looking for the camera. I found two one above the cabinet and another hidden in the clock, then I put on the act. Walking over to the fridge I found some eggs, remembering them as one of the only human things I craved during my pregnancy. Turning on the stove, I looked for a saucepan in the cabinet underneath.

I successfully found one and filled it with water putting it on top of the warm stove top, remembering that eggs went well with sausage I found a few links in the freezer.

"Something smells good," Mike said heading downstairs

"Eggs and sausage," I said looking at the instructions on the sausage links. I wasn't the cook I used to be, Rennesme preferred blood over human food and on the off chance she wanted real food either Esme or Rosalie would make it. Rosalie enjoyed being an aunt, I was glad we were now on equal terms or I would have been afraid she would steal Rennesme from me.

"Need help?" he asked, he sounded sincere but I shook my head

"Its fine," I told him, "when's work?" I asked

"I need to leave in thirty minutes," he answered

The water began boiling I put the eggs in there, and found a tomato shaped timer in the drawer setting it for ten minutes. I believed it was right I knew if I got it wrong I would be fine after all the food is going in the same place, right back up. But I might make Mike sick and that wouldn't be good.

Feeling too embarrassed to ask I left the timer to ten minutes hoping I wasn't going to make Mike ill, then put the sausage in the microwave for said time. At least those will be cooked I thought, I headed to the table and sat across from Mike.

"Did you sleep ok last night?" he asked

"Yeah, fine," I lied playing with my wedding ring. It was all part of te act

"Look I'm sorry about last night, you just kept pushing some subjects that I'm not ready to talk about," he said.

"Its fine you're right, I was just talking to Angela yesterday and she helped put some thoughts into my mind," I said, I didn't really want to bring Angela into this but I felt I had no choose.

"Oh," Mike replied the microwave beeped and I took the sausages out and put them to the side. I stared down at them they didn't look one bit appetizing but I guess I would have to suck it up.

"Smells good," I lied

"Yeah," Mike said typing on his lap top I hadn't even noticed him plug it in. I could see he was in work mode, I had seen the same with Carlisle but at least Carlisle had the decency not to bring his work home usually…

"Did you take care of James last night?" I asked

"Yeah," he answered just as the egg timer went off I grabbed a clean plate and put the boiled egg and sausage on a plate. "Thanks," he said grabbing his plate

I nodded; I couldn't understand why Mike was so distant this morning had I upset that much last night? I wondered, I had expected him to be all over me but maybe he got over me. It wasn't like I wanted to have him crushing on me I thought to myself.

"It's good," Mike said finishing his plate I hadn't even touched mine yet, all my food had been pushed around. I know Mike hadn't noticed but the camera would so I poked a slice of the sausage with my fork and put it in my mouth, I swallowed it after a few chewing motions then moved to the egg. It tasted horrible worse than the sausage and it took all my vampire strength not to throw it right up. Later I kept thinking, yes later I would walk into the forest and throw everything up but my thought was interrupted by James cry.

"Could you get that? I have to get to work," Mike said getting up not even moving his plate. He called James a 'that' like he wasn't even human, was this the same fatherly man from this morning? I questioned.

"Sure," I said smiling sweetly I know I was putting the act too thick but I was struggling with the food in my stomach all of a sudden I was thirsty I knew my eyes were turning black. I turned away from Mike so he wouldn't notice and ran slowly out of the room to my bedroom followed by the cameraman who must have just appeared.

"I heard I missed a good fight yesterday," he said

"Yeah," was my reply I scavenged through my bag I had to slow down I knew that but James kept crying.

"Aren't you going to the baby?" he asked

"Yeah in a second can you give me a moment?" I asked sweetly I didn't have to look up to know the camera man was easily convinced. I hated to use my vampire charms but this was a moment I needed to. When he was gone I went to full vampire speed sticking my contacts in my eyes, this will last a few hours I thought to myself then headed out the room to James' room.

I picked him up cradling him in my arms I hated to think this small innocent baby was associated with James the vampire but every time I saw the baby's face it was replaced with James the lethal killer. I cringed at the memories that ran through my mind. I quickly checked his diaper after associating the foul smell he gave off was a soiled diaper.

Then I let him crawl around on the floor I knew I couldn't throw up until at least he was asleep and the cameraman was gone I sat down on the floor beside James and hoped the day would fly by.
