Chapter 25

POV: Renesmee

I waited for Lue to wake up. I kissed her forehead. I missed her. Running my fingers through her hair. She woke up.

"Why are you playing with my hair?" Lue asked.

"Because it is pretty" I told her. I sniffed the air smelling pancakes. "They are making pancakes!" I hopped over her and ran out into the main room.

"Pancakes!" I screamed running around the living room. Mom tried to catch me. I ran past her ducking under her arm. "You can't catch me!" I giggled.

"Renesmee you need to put your little butt in the kitchen chair" My mom said. It would have been a lot more serious if she did not laugh.

Her laugh gave me the energy and permission I needed

to continue the chase. I ran into mom and dad's bedroom climbed up on the bed and started jumping. Mom hopped up on the bed and joined me in jumping. Dad came walking in. He had flour on his face. "Both my girl's are jumping on the bed" Dad laughed.

I was suddenly in his arms as he walked back to the kitchen. Dang it my dad was fast. He placed me in my chair. I laughed. Jake and Seth are already sitting at the table eating pancakes. Dad placed a pile of stacked pancakes in front of me. I took a huge bite. Feeling the syrup roll down my chin.

Aunty Rosalie picked up a napkin and wiped my face. Then I was syrup free. "Ugh" I groaned as she wiped my face.

"Good morning Lue" Seth said cheerfully.

I turned around in my seat to see Lue walking slowly out of my room. "Come sit next to me!" I called to her.

"No. You are too awake right now" Lue commented.

"Fine." I turned back to stuff more pancakes into my face.

Dad put two pancakes on a plate without syrup. "Dad who does not want syrup?" I asked. "Who is the monster!" I glared at Jacob, Seth and Lue.

"I do not like syrup" Lue commented.

"You are a monster. How dare you insult the syrup" I commented mouth full of syrup coated pancakes.

"Do not make me bite you" Lue said.

I laughed "not if I bite you first."

I looked around Jacob and Lue were the only two in the room that did not look very concerned. Mom and dad's eyes were wide. Aunty Rosalie and Uncle Emmett both had their mouths open. Seth had his hands ready to break us up from a fight.

I laughed harder "Why is everyone looking like this?"

"This is a lot of attention" Lue whispered.

"I know right. Do you think they will stay frozen as we flee this" I moved my hands to gesture to the flozen faces of my family.

"We can try" Lue stated.

We both jumped down from the table and ran. Lue made it to the front door opening it I grabbed her and carried her out the door.

"Where are we going?" Lue asked.

"This way" I yelled. We almost made it to the forest before my dad scooped us both up.

We were plopped back in out seats.

"Well we tried" Lue said. Eating her pancakes.

"We failed. We need to plan for better results next time" I told Lue.

"Better results than pancakes?" Lue asked

"Better results than your pancakes you no syrup eater" I pointed my syrup covered fork at her.

Esme came walking in. "Did I miss it?" She sat next to Lue.

"Did you miss what Grandma?" I asked.

"I totally missed it." Esme said "Oh well I will catch it tomorrow. I will see you later" She got up and walked out the door.

Dad was laughing. I was confused.

"What was that about?" Aunty Rosalie said.

"She wanted to come and see the girls morning fight." Dad said smiling. "She considers it payback for the amount of fights she had to break up of ours."

Everyone in the room except Lue and I laughed.

We finished eating as the adults in the room enjoyed the the joke. I did not understand it. I also refused to ask what the joke truly was because that would mean that I was not smart enough to get it.

"Can I be excused?" I asked my mom.

She nodded still laughing.

"Lue. Do you want to go build a treehouse? I asked.

"Sure." Lue popped down from her chair and we walked outside.

"The adults are planning something." I whispered to her.

"Are they?" She asked.

"Is it not obvious. They are planning a family meeting." I told her. "We need to infiltrate. Figure out what the adults are planning."

"So why are we building a treehouse?" Lue asked.

"Because they will have a debrief and send out the easiest target" I told her. Uncle Emmett came walking out of the house. "Told you" I whispered.

"Told you what kiddo?" Uncle Emmett asked.

"She told me that we might need to find a bigger tree to build a treehouse." Lue told him

Uncle Emmett looked at her in a strange way.

"Lue can you start clearing out the area under this tree?" I asked her.

"Of course." Lue said and started that task.

"Uncle Emmett can you help me grab paper and colours from my room please?" I asked him.

"Sure." He walked with me back to the house. Turning to go to the front door.

I grabbed his hand. "No we are going through my window." I whispered.

Uncle Emmett laughed. Helping me through my window. I listened carefully.

I heard Seth say "I just want her to be happy"

Mom answered "We understand that but she might be happier if she had a mom and dad."

"So I am supposed to just give her up because I am not a bloodsucker?" Jacob said.

I climbed out of my rooms widow leaving the paper and crayons. I ran past Uncle Emmett. I grabbed Lue by the back of her shoulders, turned her to face me and hugged her.

"I knew it." I told Lue "My parents do not want me to see Jacob anymore" I sobbed onto Lues shoulder.

"What? No. That is not the case" Lue told me. "That is not possible."

"It is. I am now an orphan" I cried. "We will now have to live on the run. Again"

"Or we could live here" Lue suggested.

"Are you not listening. They do not want me they are happier without children." I cried harder.

"Then I am going to go ask" Lue sounded mad. "Wait here. If you are right I can drive us away"

Lue broke off our hug.

"Whats up with her" Uncle Emmett asked.

Lue ignored him climbing through my window. I sat on the ground and cried.

Dad picked me up moments later. "Honey how did you get that in your head?"

"You are going to take me away from Jake because you want to get me a new mommy and daddy. I do not want a new mommy and daddy!" I cried.

"Sometimes I forget how little you still are. You are not yet one. Your mom and I are not getting rid of your" Dad said.

"Then why are we having a family meeting?" I cried "The last family meeting we had was when we all almost died!"

"Oh honey. I forgot. No. We are going to be your mom and dad forever. You can still hang out with Jacob we are going to go back to normal." Mom rubbed my back as she told me.

I wiped my eyes "than what is the secret talking all about?" I asked mom.

"I think we should call our family meeting now" Aunty Rosalie said.

"Okay let's go" Dad said.

We all started walking out of the backyard. "What is Lue, Jake, and Seth going to do?" I asked.

"They are going to come with us" Dad told me.

"Why are we going?" Lue asked Jacob.

"You will see" Jacob told her.

Grandma, Grandpa, Aunty Alice, and Uncle Jasper where all sitting at the dining table. We all sat around the table. Aunty Rosalie and Uncle Emmett sat on the same side of the table as Grandma. Grandpa, Alice and Jasper. The rest of us sat on the other side.

"Okay. To prevent any misunderstandings let us just get everything out." Mom suggested.

"Lue. We are going to talk about your living situation" Jacob said to her.

"What situation?" I asked. "She can just live with me."

"We are wondering if Lue would like to have a mom and dad" Dad told me

Lue just looked confused. "I do not understand."

"Honey. Would you like to be adopted?" Seth asked her

"What? Adopted?" Lue asked

"It means that you will be accepted into the cullens family and get a mom and dad" Jacob told her.

"Jake are you going to be her dad?" I asked

"No. I am not responsible enough for that." Jake told me

"Then who?" Lue asked sounding scared.

"If you would like. Emmett and I would be your mom and dad" Aunty Rosalie said.

"What does that mean?" Lue asked

"It means that you will have what Nessie has. A mom and dad to love and protect you" Uncle Emmett said.

"You would be my cousin!" I said. I am officially excited.

"Maybe" Lue said.

"What if we try. Just for a temporary time? Then if it works out we can make it last forever." Aunty Rosalie said.

"Okay." Lue agreed. "Can I still spend time with Seth?"

"Of course you can! Seth is a cool kid" Uncle Emmett said.

"Yay your my cousin! Can we go play now?" I asked dad.

"Sure" dad answered.

I grabbed Lues hand guiding her to the toy bin in the other room.

I heard Uncle Jasper say "her emotions say she is excited about having a mom and dad" before we were out of earshot.

I hugged Lue. Now you are really apart of my family!
