2. Hunting and Cooking

The next morning, the weather was even worse than it had been yesterday. It was raining and stormy, but it didn't really matter to us. It was Sunday, our last holiday before we had to go to high school. Edward, Alice, Jasper and I had decided to start high school again so that we could stay here a little longer, even though it didn't really matter 'cause Nessie kept growing so quickly that we still had to move often.

We planned to go hunting with Nessie today, because it had been a while since our last hunting trip.

Renesmee woke up a little before nine. She came into the kitchen and we left right away.

Today we didn't go far; we caught a couple of deer in the forest nearest to us. Renesmee wasn't really hungry, even though it had been a while since we had been hunting, so we were back home in just a couple of hours. When we were back, we discovered that Jacob was already waiting for us and he wasn't in the best mood.

"Why didn't you tell me, you were planning to go hunt with Nessie?" Jacob asked me when we were back inside.

"Sorry, I just forgot," I said with a sigh.

"I would have come with you," Jacob muttered.

"Well, you don't have to be with her every minute, don't you?" I scowled. "It's already too bad that you imprinted on my daughter." I tried my best to understand him, but it was annoying that he always wanted to know what we were doing and where. After all, Nessie was my daughter.

"We have already talked about this," Jacob said. "It's not something I have control over." Jacob sighed. I knew that sometimes I was little too hard on him. I knew that he hadn't chosen to imprint on Nessie, but it was hard that he was always so overprotective of her.

"Jacob!" Nessie screamed and ran for him as she came inside.

"Hey, Nessie," Jacob answered and suddenly a joyful smile appeared in his face. All that irritability in his expression was gone.

"Did you have fun hunting?" Jacob asked her.

"Yes! You should have seen how big of a deer I caught," Nessie said and I had to smile at her excitement.

"Bella!" I heard Alice's voice behind me. "You're already back!" she said, as if it had been a surprise to her.

"Hah, like you didn't see that," I answered.

Alice shrugged. "So how was your hunting trip?"

"Fine. It's fun hunting with Nessie, she's so excited," I smile.

"Well, anyway Bella, we need to go shopping," Alice changed the subject.

"Alice, we certainly don't need to go shopping. Thanks to you, we have clothes for the next three centuries," I tried to explain to her.

"Yeah, I know, it's for Nessie. She still keeps growing up so quickly," Alice reminded me.

I couldn't deny it, that all of Renesmee's clothes were too small to her almost immediately, when we had bought them.

I still tried to imagine my explanation to Alice, because I really wasn't in the mood to go shopping with her just now, but Alice caught my hand and pulled me towards the door. "Come on, Bella. What else can we do on a rainy day?"

"Why don't you go with Rosalie?" I suggested hopefully.

"She didn't have time. She had some plans with Emmett and I don't honestly want to know what…" Alice said.

I sighed and looked at Edward to ask for his help. He just smiled at me. "Go have fun with Alice; we'll take care of Nessie."

"Okay, okay," I gave in. "Let's go, but we won't be long."

"Yay!" Alice laughed, wrapped her hands around me and pulled me out of the door.

We took Alice's Porsche and drove into the city. I found myself actually enjoying a bit of choosing the cutest clothes for Renesmee. At least it was better than shopping for myself.

"Look at this, Bella." Alice laughed behind me. I turned around and saw Alice holding the most horrible girls dress that I've ever seen. It was dark gray with frills and weird figures all over. It looked more like an adult's nightdress than girl's cloth.

"That's just awful," I said, but I had to laugh at myself as I imagined Nessie in it. "Though Nessie would still look pretty in it."

"Yes, she would, but we still shouldn't try." Alice smiled and put the dress back on the top of the pile of clothes.

"Don't you think we already have enough clothes for Nessie?" I sighed hopefully after several hours.

"Sure," Alice said and smiled at me as I tuned to look at her surprised. "Of course, we can go look for some clothes for us."

"No!" I protested. "I'd rather shop for Nessie."

"That's what I thought," Alice said cheerfully.

We spent some more time looking for clothes. When Alice was done, both of our laps were full of the cutest girls clothes.

"Alice, Nessie doesn't really need all of these," I pointed out as we went to the cash desk.

"Of course she needs them," Alice answered and put the clothes on the cash desk. I sighed. Alice would be Alice.

When we were finally ready with the clothes, we decided to stop by the nearest supermarket and get some groceries before we went back home.

Edward and Nessie were playing badminton in our front yard when we came back. Edward left his racket on the ground when he saw us coming.

"Hi," Edward whispered in my ear and kissed my neck. "Did you have fun shopping?"

I smiled. "Well it wasn't as bad as it could have been."

Edward laughed and kissed me again, this time longer. He didn't have any rush to go back to play with Nessie because Alice had took his racket and continued the game.

"Where's Jacob, by the way?" I asked after a while.

"He had to leave. They got some wolf things to do," Edward said.

"Okay. Well, let's go make some food for Nessie. She'll be hungry when they stop playing," I said.

"Sure. What will we make?"

"I don't know… Pancakes?" I suggested. Pancakes were one of Renesmee's favorite foods. Or, at least, one of her favorite human foods.

"Pancakes it is." Edward smiled and pulled me close to him once again.

We went inside and Edward started to mix the batter as I unpacked the groceries that Alice and I had bought earlier. Then I took a big pan and put it on the stove. I was just about to pour the batter into the pan when I heard footsteps behind me. When I turned, I saw Emmett grinning behind me.

"I heard that you were making pancakes," Emmett said with a childish voice. "I want to help," he added and I had to laugh at his enthusiastic voice.

"What?" Emmett asked and scowled. "Cooking is fun!"

"Yes, but most of the time you just like to play with food. Even with all you're vampire power, you're not that good at making food," I told him.

He sighed and took the bowl from my hands. "But I can still make pancakes, can't I? And it's fun. It's really good that we have Nessie, now that you don't eat human food anymore."

I shrugged and left Emmett alone with the batter and the pan. Edward and I started to boil hot chocolate to take to Nessie with the pancakes.

"Emmett!" I shouted when I turned back to Emmett. He was frying the pancake, but the only problems was that the pancake seemed to be something over two inches thick. "It's not supposed to be so thick," I said as I looked at the pancake, which looked more like a cake than a pancake.

Emmett just grinned at me. "It doesn't matter that much how thick they are. Look." Emmett dropped the pancake on the plate with a loud thud. "We can cut these into shapes of animals," Emmett said with a huge grin in his face.

"You're over 80 years old and you act like you aren't even eight yet," I pointed out, but Emmett didn't seem to care.

"But they'll look better that way," Emmett insisted. "And besides, I haven't had a chance to make food in a long time, so you can't blame me." He took a knife and started to cut our too-thick pancake.

Edward poured more batter into the pan and turned to look Emmett. "Doesn't look much like a cat to me," he pointed out to Emmett.

"Oh, it's supposed to be a cat?" I laughed.

"The next one will be a wolf. Nessie will like it," Emmett said with a grin.

"Hah! Like she would recognize it!" Edward rolled his eyes.

The next half an hour we spent making pancakes. Edward and I fried them and then gave them to Emmett who cut them into a shape of some animals. The first ones were pretty weird, but he seemed to get better and somehow managed to make our pancakes into recognizable animal figures, even though I didn't get why he thought it was necessary.

We finally got the pancakes ready and told Nessie to come eat. She came into the kitchen and looked at the pancakes once. Then she pressed her palm against my cheek and silently asked why Emmett had cut the pancakes into a shape of animals. She laughed at our pancakes and I had to laugh along with her.

"I don't know. I really don't know," I answered her.

Nessie just grinned at Emmett and took the wolf pancake. Edward sighed loudly and Emmett burst into his booming laughter.
