Carlisle's POV
The next morning...
I sat at the dinning room table, doing research on my tablet. Trying to figure out the logistics of both Renesmee and Nicole at the same time. Emmett sat next to me reading a newspaper article. Jacob was standing at the window, eating a sandwich, watching Rosalie play with Renesmee. Bella and Edward walked in.
"Wow. Done already?' Emmett asked, clearly amused. Bella ignored him and looked around,
"Where's Renesmee?" she asked.
"Blondie stole her." Jacob said, looking out the window.
"Break a lot of stuff?" Emmett asked. Jacob smiled.
"Emmett." Bella warned. "No.". Everyone in the room chuckled. But Emmett shut up. I resumed typing until the phone rang. we all looked at it but it was Bella who spoke first,
"Is that Charlie?" she asked,
"He's been calling twice a day," Edward said from behind her. the phone rang again,
"he's in pretty rough shape," Jacob said, managing to tear his eyes from Renesmee,
"Eventually we'll have to tell him you didn't make it," I said. Edward spoke again,
"He needs to mourn Bella," . Jacob nodded,
"Ok." She said, " We'll do it tomorrow,"
Emmett stood up, "I'm gonna miss this place,"
"We'll come back. We always do" I said, focusing on my work.
Wait. Nobody said anything about leaving," Jacob said, turning to face us,
"Once people believe Bella's dead, we can't risk anyone seeing her," I told him. Jake turned to Bella,
"So you just...Disappear."
"Jacob, We don't have another choice." Edward said. Jacob got a strange look in his face,
"I've gotta go," he said, and then ran out.
Esme's POV
Jacob had disappeared and was now back. I heard him talking outside with Bella and Edward,
"You were leaving. What did you expect me to do?" Jacob asked. I turned to Carlisle.
"What did he do?" I asked my husband who was again doing more research.
"Jacob phased in front of Charlie," he told me. I became panicked,
"Oh my gosh, is Charlie ok?"
"Yes, he's fine," Carlisle said. I continued to listen in on the conversation,
"Jacob, don't try and pretend your doing this for anyone but yourself," Edward said,
"Well, I'm sorry you feel that way, because he'll be here in 10 minutes," Jacob said.
"What?" Bella yelled at him with disbelief.
The three of them came inside, and everyone gathered in the family room. Alice rushed upstairs to get a pair of contacts. Bella sat down as Alice came back.
"These will irritate your eyes at first," She said, putting the contacts in Bella's eye's and then standing back. Carlisle took a step forward,
"The main thing is not to move to fast,". I joined my husband, standing at his side. Nicole moved to stand next to me.
"Try taking a seat. Crossing your legs," I suggested. Bella stood up and eyed the chair on the far side of the room. Her newborn instincts took over and she sped at top speed to ward the chair. The force slammed the chair against the wall and into a painting. Then she awkwardly crossed her legs. "Maybe a tad slower, Hmm" I suggested lightly. Carlisle nodded, holding up to fingers, making 'a little' sign with them. Then Alice chimed in,
"And blink at least three times a minute," Bella tried it, blinking quickly, "Good" Alice added,
"For a cartoon character," Jacob commented,
"Hold your breath. It will help with the thirst," Carlisle said,
"Just don't forget to move your shoulders so it looks like you breathing," Edward added on. We all demonstrated. Then Rosalie spoke up,
"And don't sit so straight. Humans don't do that". Bella awkwardly slouched over, and then stood up,
"Ok I got it. Move around, blink, slouch." she said. Then we all turned our heads toward the driveway as a car pulled up.
"Good luck." I said, as Alice, and Carlisle turned to leave the room. I nudged Nikki to tell her to go as well. Rosalie followed us. We all left to go sit in the other room, Emmett was on the floor chasing Renesmee as she crawled around. I laughed. Emmett could be misleading sometimes, given his size and attitude, but he had a soft spot for Renesmee. All of us laughed as we watched Renesmee squeal with delight. Then Edward came in and scooped her up.
"Hey?" Emmett protested.
"I'm taking her to see Charlie," he said and left again. We all sat there and listened until jasper and Emmett left to see Charlie out. They came back minutes later ranting on about some arm wrestling competition in the backyard. We all cleared out and gathered around a huge rock, Emmett had set down for a table.
"Don't hurt yourself Emmett," Edward playfully warned. He chuckled and got ready. I stood next to Carlisle, laughing at what was about to happen. He looked over at me and had a huge grin on his face,
"All right. On 3. " Jasper said, "1..2..3". They began and I could soon start to see Emmett struggling. He forced himself, but in the end Bella won, Breaking the rock in the process. Nicole stood next to me, with a huge smile on he face. Everyone else was laughing. This was the kind of things I loved seeing my children do. We returned inside.
