Chapter 3: A Crisis in my Daughter's eyes
Bella and I watched Nessie as she walked in. She stormed in with such a passion of anger. She turned around and yelled at the open door, "I hate you! Go away you stupid dog!"
Bella and I looked at each other, than Nessie, and, once again, each other. She stared at both of us. Well don't you two want to know? You are my parents after all. She thought. I looked at her and she recognized the look of shame, that, only a parent would give if he (or she) thought he (or she) had neglected his (or her) duties as a parent, in my face and came over to us. She hugged us as she showed us what had happened. I would have gone into her thoughts, but I though I would need a mental picture.
Everything was fine with Jacob, at first, anyway. Just as she said, they had played a few games out in the sunny weather. They had started with tag, one of their favorites. She had won that game easily. After tag, they decided to race. It was a close race until Jacob came in first. This annoyed my daughter and that annoyed me. After a while of games and jokes, they went for the run Nessie had told us they would go for. Near the end, Jacob had mentioned Bella. "I though I would've imprinted on Bella when I learned of this imprinting business. Now I imprinted on her daughter, of all people!" he began to laugh. Nessie unappreciated this and began to argue with him about how her mother is an amazing person and that she wouldn't trade her for anything in the world. She began to run when he followed, trying to convince her that he was kidding. This angered her more. "What kind of mongrel would kid about his friend's mother? What kind of person are you, Jacob?" Nessie had told him. She only called him Jacob when she was mad. She only called him mongrel, well; this was the first time, actually.
When she was done both Bella and I were filled to the brim with anger! How dare he insult my wife and my daughter! "Jacob Black is about to get it this time," Bella growled. I almost wasn't mad anymore when I remember how amazing she looked when she was mad!
After a quick mental note of how she looked, I said, "Bella, sweetie, let's calm down first and consult Alice about what might happen." She looked at me desperately; she obviously wanted to kill Jacob.
"Edward, I already almost killed him. Instead, I hurt Seth. I'll be more careful this time. Please, Edward?"
"He's your-"
"Our."
"Yes, our friend. Let's not kill him."
"Mom, it's fine. I promise. I won't kill him, you won't kill him, dad won't kill him," she cleared her throat, "right dad?" Nessie asked.
"Right. Not this time at least," I replied.
"Guys, all I need to do is talk to Jake," Jake. Apparently she wasn't mad anymore… "I'm sure he understands that all of this is a misunderstanding."
"I'm still consulting Alice," I stated. I wanted to be sure. I looked at my beautiful daughter and I asked, "Are you ready to talk to Jacob yet? Or would you like to wait until tomorrow?"
"I wish it was never…" Bella mumbled. I almost laughed, but didn't want to offend my daughter.
"I think I might wait. I'm tired though. It's 10 o'clock. I'm going to head to bed." She yawned and started to make her way upstairs.
"I'll be right up, sweetie," Bella called after her.
"Yes, ma'am," She replied.
Bella looked at me. "You have to talk to Alice. If he's going to do something to my daughter, we have to move. I don't want anything to hurt her," She told me.
I sighed, "Alright, I'll go talk to Alice. But Bella, don't forget, Jacob did imprint on Nessie. They will have arguments every once in a while. Well, more often than that, I mean, we are talking about Jacob." She laughed at this. "You go upstairs with Nessie; I'll go talk to Alice." She sighed, "Alright, Edward. I'll be there in a little while."
"No, I don't want Jacob sneaking in like last time they had an argument."
"But that was a small disagreement! This was huge to Reneesmee! He wouldn't dare!"
"Okay, listen, I will ask Esme to come in here and watch Nessie. You come to the house, and Alice, Carlisle, You, and I will talk this over, okay?"
"Alright." She kissed me for a moment and I sped off to the house.
