Bella's POV

"Ooh. Did Jessica figure us out?" I asked Edward, miserable. How did I not realize it? How did-

"How did we not know she was coming? How did I NOT SEE HER?" Alice exclaimed. She seemed to be naming herself the world's worst clairvoyant-gifted vampire. Alice started pacing faster and faster around Esme's poor antique table, every step she was took shaking the floor. Jasper tried to catch up with her trying to soothe her.

"Well, Aunt Alice, the future changes all the time. If I hadn't gone over to the Newton's, Jessica," Renesmee caught my eye. "Er, I mean, Mrs. Newton might not have put down her handbag. Don't humans get easily tired when they are stressed?"

"She's got a point there," mumbled Jacob. Renesmee flung her hair and glared at Jacob.

Edward frowned. I was momentarily distracted from my thoughts. What? What happened? I pushed my shield away. Edward, what's going on?

Edward started to cough and lift his hand to put in next to my ear.

"Um, well, our daughter is mad at Jacob because he won't tell her about the time when Jacob *cough* hated *cough* you." I opened my mouth wide open, totally shocked and angry.

"Nooooo." I looked at Edward, dreading the confirmation his eyes held.

"Did... Jessica also happen to cause this little problem?" I asked, clenching my jaw.

"Well, sweetheart, she didn't mean to. She just realized from looking at Jacob and hearing his name... Their reminders from her past." Edward said, frowning slightly. His lips were in a tight line.

I sighed and put my hands up to my forehead.

"Renesmee, come over here." I said. Renesmee, still a little mad, bit her lips and came over.

"Momma, why isn't Jacob telling me anything?" She closed her eyes, pouting. Her eyes suddenly widened. "Di-di-d something ACTUALLY happen between you two?"

I got defensive. "Now, you know I loved your father and ONLY your father!" I looked at Renesmee's face. I broke down. I mean, how couldn't you? Looking at the girl all down because the person she was destined to be with just happened not to tell her his past relationships got MY defenses down.

"Okay, Renesmee, where do yo-" I was suddenly attacked by a burning warm hand that covered my mouth.

"Now now, Bella, let's not get to carried away." Jacob said, his eyes holding worry. Oh. Jacob was worried about Renesmee being mad at him. Ooh. Jacob is a total sucker then. I started chuckling a little when I thought about Jacob on his knees begging me not to tell.

Whoa. Am I becoming like Emmett? I glared at Emmett who was as usual, checking out the things we stole, er, borrowed from the raffle.

Ow! I pushed Jacob's hand away. "Blech! I think you've actually burned my vampire skin off." I said, raising an eyebrow at Jacob.

Renesmee looked at us for a long time without saying anything until finally she got up and went into the guest room.

"You know Jacob, it would be better if you just told her. If you really want to escape from Renesmee's wrath, and I should tell you her temper is more like 'blondie' over there," said Edward, putting in quotation marks around "blondie". Rosalie gave Jacob a very scary look, smiling. Jacob widened his eyes. "You might want to skip out all the parts where you and Bella shared some physical contact." Edward clenched his fist for a brief millisecond.

I went over to him and hugged him. Edward smiled. "It's okay love. It was all in the past. And also there is that thing about Renesmee technically being part of you."

"Oh, don't understand me like that. I feel even more guilty then." I said, looking down.

"Okay, you lovebirds go have your conversation later but right now, I'm talking with Edward, Bella." Jacob gave me a stern look.

"Okay, since you don't and can't lie to Nessie, then I guess you should just tell her the whole truth." Edward looked at Alice, who managed to get one of the chairs falling onto the floor. "And Emmett don't even think about doing a wrestling jump onto the chair. Esme will get mad and her patience is at its end."

"Well, Edward, I'm busy! I have to think about where I messed up." Alice said frowning.

Rosalie was spinning one of the coke can she had brought home after she flattened it with her foot when Emmett and she were at the auditorium. Some girls had come over to talk to Emmett but Rosalie would have none of that....

"Well, Alice, I think we couldn't tell because of our niece. Also, because of the fact that it was water. The scent is all hidden by water. Or it was significantly hidden. Either ways."

"Ah..." Alice frowned still. She looked like she was doubting Rosalie's theory.

"Alice."

"Yes, Edward. Okay then, um, well, if Jacob told Renesmee the whole truth like he's planning to now, then he will most likely be left alone for at least 2 months." Alice stopped. Rosalie mummured "I like this outcome. That means no smell for two months."

Alice gave a sneaky grin. "Of course, maybe if he acted like there was something still going on with Bella, Renesmee might not care."

Jacob looked immensely confused. Alice chuckled looking at his face. "Let me explain. If you two pretended somethign was going on and succeeded in making Renesmee think something that's a lot worse than the past you two share then, you could tell Renesmee later when you explain why you did what you did and your past and Renesmee might not care about it at all... Of course, you are going to have to be able to blame it on something. Maybe a big event. Like Renesmee's birthday. "

There was silence. Even Rosalie stopped spinning her flattened coke bottle.

"I like this idea." Emmett said.

"Um, I don't." I said. "I think Renesmee should know the truth flat out. It'll be worse if you don't, Jacob." I threw him a look. "And also, don't we have to worry about JESSICA more than anything else right now? What if she tells on us?"

"Psh, it's not that big of a deal. We'd just move." Rosalie said.

"And hide for the next 50 years?" I said.

"Nah, probably 10 years tops would be enough for the people who remember us to die." Rosalie said.

"Rosalie." A voice said sternly. We all turned around. It was Esme and Carlisle who were holding a wet umbrella. "It was raining outside and our clothes dried out while we ran." Carlisle explained to a curious Jasper.

"I think you guys forgot to factor in the Volturi. Now, I don't think you guys want any trouble with them." Carlisle said, smiling a little.

"Oh."

"Anyways, Jacob, go up there right now and tell Renesmee. Dont' traumatize the girl any further." I said. "Besides, the faster you tell her the faster she'll forgive you." I montioned towards Edward. "You might need Edward too. He can explain all the technical stuff." I pushed Edward towards Jacob.

"It looks like we have to team up again." Jacob said, looking at Edward.

"Yes."

The two went up the steps.

"Now, what happened between Jacob and Renesmee??" asked Esme, who interrogated us rather urgently.

Jessica's POV

I walked out towards Mike, who was waiting rather impatiently. A droplet fell into my hand. I looked up. Ah, it looked like it was going to rain.

"Let's go. It's going to rain." I ran towards the car which Todd had parked, waiting, right in front of us.

When we got home, I gave Todd a good talk. Quite an earful.

"Todd, could you get me my yearbook?"

"Which one? One when I was in middle school or-"

"Aren't you one self-centered guy?" I ruffled his hair. "I mean the yearbook of Forks High School when your grandmother graduated with your grandfather. I want you to do some simple math. I graduated when I was 18."

Todd stopped moving and looked up, tapping his finger. "Aw, grandma, that's too complicated! And my head hurts from all the yapp- talking you've given me."

"Oooh, fine, i'll get it myself." I got down from my chair and bent down. " Ah, here it is."

I searched up Cullen. And then Swan. It couldn't be... Bella was too different from this Bella, even though they seemed to share something in common...

I looked at Edward Cullen one more time. Hmph, he would have been much better with me. Edward looked a lot similar like the Edward I briefly met today.

I groaned. Why was our school so cheap that they didn't even do the yearbook in color??

I looked at Bella's picture one more time. "You know, you didn't actually deserve Edward. I don't understand how all the guys happened to like you. You weren't something. Really something in my opinion." I opened to Edward's picture in Mike's yearbook. "I dont' get it. You reject me but you go to her?" I looked up to the ceiling. "This world is totally messed up now that I think about it. I hope their happy." I slammed the books shut.

A picture fell out from Mike's yearbook. I picked it up. It was a picture of Bella and Edward during their wedding. Bella had written, "To Mike: Try to make it work between you and Jessica! Love, Bella and Edward" I scoffed as I read the note. As I looked at the happy couple, I saw something that I had seen earlier today.

Bella's eyes.

I dropped the picture. This was impossible. It couldn't be...

I looked again at the picture on the floor. I was sure. It was indeed...

What was going on here?
