Chapter14; Return to reality

When I regained consciousness, I had no idea whether two days had passed or two seconds…I was only aware that a beautiful little girl was kneeling by my side. Her face was very familiar but I couldn't pin my finger on it. Her eyes were full of tears and she was saying something. I tried to hear her desperate words through the buzzing in my ears.

"Momma, wake up…please! Momma it's me Nessie…oh momma!"

With that all the memories came rushing back. Our trip to town, my inflexible wish, the days spent in the past, the trip to the Volturi. Everything. I sat up in one fluid motion and hugged Renesmee. My sweet innocent daughter had had to go through all that with me.

I looked around to see where I was and found myself in the most unexpected place…the book shop where I had made my first wish. A shop employee stood behind Nessie, looking relieved. Ought to be…a customer of her shop had just passed out right in front of her eyes…wait a minute.

"Nessie how did we get here and where are we…past or present? What's going on? What does the human know?" I whispered in her ear. She pulled back to give me a questioning stare. "What's wrong?"

"Momma, we came here on our way back home from shopping, remember? And what do you mean past or present…y-you fainted while I was looking at some books and you were so still for such a long time that I…I—" Here she broke into sobs again.

I brought her close to me and hugged her again. So it was all a dream? But how can that be when everything had been so vivid and realistic. Now was not the time to think about that anyway. It probably had all been a dream and my family was probably sitting at home waiting for me.

"It's okay, Nessie. Everything's alright. See? Momma's just fine. Come on let's go home. Okay?" She nodded into my shoulder and whispered a feeble 'okay'.

It was raining when we exited the shop and Edward's Volvo stood exactly where I had left it.

The trip back to Forks was uneventful and neither of us spoke. Nessie would occasionally ask me if I was feeling alright or that maybe we should call Edward. I drove faster than I had ever done my entire life…eager to get to the one person my heart ached to see.

In less than an hour, I parked in front of the Cullen house, knowing as I did before that Edward would be waiting for me here. It was pretty late. Almost three, I think. I picked up Renesmee and rushed in not caring whether the car was locked or not. I had just set Renesmee down on the porch steps, when Edward wrapped his arms around me and held me close.

I stood on my toes and tilted my head upwards, eager for the rush of emotions kissing him always brought. I was not disappointed. He leaned towards me and brushed his lips gently with mine. Any other day, that might have been enough considering eight other people were witnessing this…one of them being our daughter. But not tonight.

I had accepted that the whole thing had been a dream but it hadn't seemed like a dream. To me, I had just spent weeks being distant from him. Keeping far way, not daring to come too close. And there was just so much a girl could take. So I deepened the kiss and he responded, a low moan in his throat. The sound sent the electric current running through my body into a nearfrenzy.

My hands tangled up in his hair and while one of his hand stayed on my waist, the other moved up to the back of my head, not allowing the kiss to break. For a while everything else seemed to fade and it was just us. It was just me and Edward standing on the porch with our lips interlocked and the rain lashing all around us.

After what seemed mere seconds I heard someone clear their throat and Edward pulled away. He beamed down at me and I was caught in his gaze. "Seems like somebody missed me," he said when I made no attempt to move out of his arms.

Reluctantly, he let me go satisfying himself with just my hand and I turned around to see Emmett grinning sheepishly at us from the doorway. "Oh no! He's not going to let this one go." I murmured to Edward.

Edward squeezed my hand. "Then let's go home."

I smiled at him. "Sure. Just one second though, I have something to give Alice." Alice was already in the doorway so I opened my purse to give her the bracelet I'd bought for her when I saw it. It was the letter I was supposed to give to Edward in Volterra. The one that explained my unduly trip there.

But that had been a dream, hadn't it?

Okay, so what do you make of that??!!!!

Surely something that leaves you thinking and that's what i wanted as the end!!! my mission has succeeded!!! =)

So on to the trivia that most of you got right: the answer was 'Masen'

Today's trivia is gonna be a li'l more difficult than the others 'cuz it's the last one and here's ur question: why had Nahuel been looking so closely at Bella and Renesmee after the scene with the Volturi in 'Breaking Dawn'?

Good luck to everyone!!!
