Pizza
"Momma can we have pizza?"
"Mason why don't you ask what the others want?"
"Okay momma. Leah what do you and Seth want to eat?"
"We don't mind Mason. If you want pizza we will have pizza."
"What do you want Lizzie?"
"I will eat anything I'm so hungry."
"Elizabeth if you don't calm down and stop complaining you won't get anything."
"Sorry momma."
"It's okay baby. You just need to learn to be patient."
"I will."
I smiled back at my little girl as she smiled brightly at me.
"Nessie what do you want?"
"What did you just call her?"
"Nessie."
"Oh no Jacob you are not naming my daughter after the Loch ness monster until she gets a say."
"But Bella she doesn't mind. The others agree with me and think it's a cute nickname. Don't you guys?"
They looked out the windows an anxious look on their face as they started mumbling.
"I guess it's kind of cute."
"Well Seth wouldn't you love it if I called you Pup. That's a cute nickname don't you think?"
He looked terrified at the thought of me calling him that.
I decided to try out little Lizzie's power by letting Renesmee's thoughts enter my mind.
'I don't mind being called Nessie. I wish Momma could understand that and not shout at Jakey.'
"I'm sorry baby. I won't shout at Jakey anymore."
'Thanks momma.'
I looked at Jacob who looked horrified at what I called him. Leah and Seth started laughing.
"I don't get why you two are laughing. It's not very nice Sethy and LeeLee."
"Elizabeth Emmalie Ally Ava Swan. I thought you said you wouldn't tell anyone."
"Oh she didn't Seth. Don't forget I can read minds if I wish. Now apologise to my daughter for shouting at her and full naming her. Only I can do that."
"Sorry Lizzie. I thought you betrayed me."
"It's okay Sethy. I still love you.
"Shall we go get some pizza then?"
"Renesmee says that's fine."
"Alright then, we will go get you all some pizza then take some home for Charlie."
I drove to the nicest pizza parlour in Port Angeles. We were all seated at a round table in one corner when none other than Jessica Stanley and Lauren Malory walked in. Here we go. I thought.
"What's wrong momma?"
"Nothing baby. There are just some bad girls here that aren't very nice. Just ignore them though. They don't deserve to know someone as great as you."
"Okay momma."
"Baby when we are out you can't call me momma any more but I will always be your momma."
"Why?"
"Because of how magnificent you are. Remember no one knew I was having three amazing children and if they find out I did they will start to wonder. Don't forget that no one can know about us being vampires."
"Okay. I can do that but you will always be my momma no matter what I call you."
"Thank you baby. That means so much to me."
Jessica and Lauren hadn't noticed us yet and I prayed that they wouldn't.
"Hello, what can I get you?"
"We'll have small peperoni pizzas and a margarita. What do you guys want?"
"I'll have the house salad."
"I'll have a large margarita."
"Can I have the Hawaiian?"
"Can we get a meat feast to take away as well?"
"Certainly. They will be about ten minutes."
"Thank you."
The waitress disappeared.
"So guys. Tomorrow when we get to Alaska we need to go check into the B&B we will be staying in then go shopping for some new clothes. If you hadn't noticed my babies are already starting to look five months, by tomorrow they should be around nine months. Friday they should look almost a year. If we get some clothes for each of them in a range of sizes we should be good for a week. Hopefully they will slow down with their aging. I'm guessing that when they look seventeen maybe eighteen they will stop aging because that's when me and Edward were changed."
"If it's alright with you Bella, Seth and I will pass on the shopping. We will go see a movie or something."
"That's fine Jacob. I'm not going to force you to do something were you will just complain the whole time. Any way it will be nice to spend some time with Leah without you two hanging round."
"Hey we're not that bad."
"Yes you are Seth. I've had to grow up with you then when you joined the pack I had you in my mind constantly. I think I deserve time away from you."
"LeeLee I thought you loved me."
"You won't ever call me that or you will found at the bottom of the ocean."
"Sorry."
"You had better be."
We started chuckling at their sibling banter, before an irritating voice invaded my mind.
'Is that Bella Swan? I think it is. Who is that baby she is holding? Was she pregnant?'
"Hey Lauren, look at the table in the corner."
Everyone at our table froze as she turned her head to look at us.
"It's Bella. Why does she have a baby in her arms?"
"I don't remember her being pregnant. Maybe she was during the summer holiday."
"Probably. I bet Edward knocked her up then when she gave birth convinced his family to leave."
"I can't wait to tell everyone at school."
"I know."
They both stood still gossiping and inventing elaborate stories they would tell everyone at school. I couldn't care less. People could believe what they liked I had my family and friends and I couldn't ask for more.
"Momma shouldn't you tell them to stop."
"Baby I can't. They wouldn't understand. It doesn't matter what they say because I love all my babies and have the best family ever. I don't care what they tell people as long as those I care about love me and you."
"Okay momma. You're the best momma ever."
"Thank you baby."
The waitress arrived with the pizza soon after. They all tucked into their pizza as I fed Nessie. Okay. I admit it Nessie is a cute nickname but I wouldn't ever let Jacob hear me admit it.
By the time Nessie was half way through her pizza the rest had finished.
'Momma I don't want anymore.'
'Okay Nessie. Shall I give it to your brother and sister?'
I thought to her.
'Yes momma. Thanks for calling me Nessie.'
"You're welcome baby girl."
I kissed her cheek before turning to Mason and Elizabeth.
"Would you two like to share the rest of your sister's pizza."
"Yes please Momma."
"Thanks Momma."
"You don't have to thank me, thank your sister."
"Thank you Nessie."
They both said. I smiled at my children. For being less than a day old they were as smart as a fourteen year old and politer than one. I couldn't have asked for better children.
When they were all done, the waitress brought a pizza box and the bill out to me. I paid for the food even though Leah and Jacob protested. They said that because I hadn't eaten it wasn't fair for me to pay. When I said that my children had half the pizzas Seth jumped in and suggested I paid half and the others would pay for theirs. I sighed and gave in seeing that I wouldn't win the argument.
We were soon on the road again heading back to Forks.
