Chapter 2 - Flight

~*~*~*~

2 hrs before our flight

Today is Friday and mom let us take half day of school so we can start our vacation early and have time to finish our last minute packing. Mom picked us up from school.

"Mom, are you sure you don't want to come with us," I asked on our way home.

"No. I want you guys to have fun and enjoy yourselves. Besides I have to work this week." she answered in her motherly voice.

"Mom you never take time for yourself. You are always putting everyone else first."

She looked at me and rolled her eyes.

"You know that I have to take care of the three of you. I have to work and make sure you are taken care of."

"I know that Mom and we can never tell you how grateful we are to have an amazing mother like you. Sometimes I just want you to take for yourself." I continued.

She didn't say anything more just stared out the window. She knew I was right and that is why she didn't contradict me. We finally got home and finished out last minute details.

"Come on slow pokes we only have 2 hours left," Carlie yelled up at me.

"I'm coming hold horses," I yelled back down to her.

"Mom, Renesmee is still on the phone and hasn't finished packing yet," Carlie was now yelling at mom.

"Carlie, please, could you be patient? You still have two hours before your flight leaves." Mom said in her musical voice.

"But mom I don't want to be late. It's Spring break and it's going to be crowded," she said her voice full of annoyance.

"Come on guys we have to leave the house in the next two minutes." Mom yelled from the door. "Your going to miss you flight" she continue to yell.

I start to load the bags in Mom's car. She had a Scion XB that was her toy. Mom didn't like expensive things. I tried to listen to her thoughts but she was blocking me. I saw that something was bothering her. When everything was loaded in the car we headed to the airport. I tried several times to read her mind but I got nothing.

"Guys do you have everything you need?" my mother asked

"Yes Mom. We used the checklist you gave us," Renesmee answered.

"Ok, now remember to call me as soon as you get there" Mom said.

"Yes mom" I answered.

"Anthony I'm counting on you to watch over you baby sisters," she said looking straight in my eyes. "This is the first time I let you guys go anywhere with out me and I don't want it to be the last so, I am trusting you to take care of each other" she continued with a sad look. "Do you all have your phones?"

"Yes," we answered in unison and started laughing. The rest of the ride was filled with excitement.

We got to the airport one hour before the flight...

"Alright, do you have your planes tickets and cash in case you want to buy snacks?" Mom asked.

"Yes mom we have everything you need to relax." I said while she was looking at me with a worrying look.

"I am going to miss you so much," she said with tear running down her cheeks.

Yes, she cries real tears; another mystery to be solved. We enclosed her in a group hug to reassure her that we were going to be fine.

"Mom really do you think Jake and Seth will allow anything happen to us?" Renesmee asked.

"The pack will protect us. Nothing is going to happen" Carlie added.

Mom relaxed a bit with Carlie statement. But the sadness remained in her eyes. She gave me the impression that she was looking at us as much as she could, memorizing every detail in our faces, like it was for the last time she ever saw us. She gave us butterfly kisses on our faces and hugged us like her life was depending from us... She stayed until we got on board and made sure we got on safely.

We made our way to our seat which where first class.

"Oh my God! I'm so excited. At last I will get to see my Jacob after all these months," Renesmee said as she bounced in her seat.

She reminded me of Alice. The way she beamed and bounced every time Mom agreed to go shopping with her. Especially, when they were "playing" dress up.

"I can't wait to see my Seth" Carlie was mincing her actions. I felt like I was sitting between two energizer bunnies.

"Are two going to bounce like this all the way to Seattle?" I asked.

They both turn to me and stuck out there tongue at me. I sighed in frustration.

I was wondering if Alice could see us, if she ever had a vision of Mom being pregnant. Mom had told us everything about HIS family. Alice could see the future based on people's decisions. She was supposed to be Moms best friend and sister. Her husband Jasper was an empath. He can control and manipulate emotions. Mom said she cared for him like a brother. She never blamed him. Never.

No one else has any extra abilities. Expect our father but I don't want to think about that dumbass. Mom said that Carlisle was intelligent and that he was her personal doctor. She used to be very clumsy. It is hard to believe seeing that she is as graceful as a swan gliding around a lake.

Esme was like a second mother to her. Then there was Emmett aka brother bear or care bear. Mom named him like this based on the huge hugs he gave her. She said he would make fun of her whenever she did anything silly or blushed.

His wife Rose was the "BITCH" of the family. Pardon my language but there is no other word to describe her. She was never nice to Mom and treated her like an outsider. My blood started boiling as I remembered how that family was able to turn their backs on my mother. They knew what they meant to her. And yet they left her. Unprotected. I put my iPod on so that I could stop thinking about the family I will never meet.

The rest of the flight was peaceful. The pilot announced that we were about to land within ten minutes; make sure that our trays were in position and to fasten our seatbelts in order for the landing procedure to start. I looked out of the window and saw it was a cloudy day. At that point my mother's sad face came before my eyes. When I was 16 it occurred to me to start looking for my father. I couldn't stand watching her being curled at nights crying her eyes out. I was crying with her, I could feel her pain. How couldn't I? That was the night I asked her to let me in.

My sister's giggles took me out of my deep thoughts. I realized that we had landed and the passengers started to exit the plane. The girls ran to the gate and started looking for their mates. When they came into view they had big smile on there faces. With eyes locked they ran toward each other and kissed passionately while picked the girls off the ground and spun them around. I turned away to give them there moment of privacy. They set them on their feet and the only thing you could see in their eyes was love. Again I thought of my mother. Will she ever get that look in her eyes again? Will she ever find the one that will love her unconditionaly? I was pulled from my reverie when I heard Jake speak to Nessie.

"How was your flight Nessie?" Jacob asked in his husky voice.

He sounded older like his voice matured over time.

"Long. I couldn't get here fast enough to see my big bad wolf. I missed you Jakey" she whispered in his ear. He sighed and kissed her tenderly.

"God! I missed you so much Angel." Seth whispered as he placed his forehead on Carlie's. He called her by her middle name. His voice was not as deep as Jacob.

"I thought I was going to rip the door of the hinges and run here to get to you faster. I missed you so much Sethy." From the tone of her voice you could understand that she was about to cry.

I walked up behind them and cleared my throat and rolled my eyes at them.

"Excuse me are you guys done so we can get our luggage?" I asked annoyed.

"What's wrong Tony? Jealous?" Jake replied laughing. I hated that nick name and he knew it. He always called me "Tony" when he wanted to piss me off.

"No Jake. I just planned to spend my vacation, watching the four of you making out the whole time" I scowled at him.

"Don't worry Anthony. You know he calls you Tony because it pisses you off. You know what they say better pissed off than pissed on. Jake lives to piss people off," Seth said while walking with his hand entwined with Carlie.

Jake rolled his eyes. "Come on, let's get the luggage so we can go cliff diving before we head to Charlie's and Sue's for dinner."

We went down to retrieve our luggage. I carried my bag while Jake carried Nessie's and Seth carried Carlie's. By the time we reached the parking lot, we loaded the bags in back of Jacob's track while the girls where climbing in, making themselves comfortable. The ride was rather quite. Jake asked how Mom was doing and why she didn't join us. I told him that she had to work. When Jake asked about Mom it reminded me that I had to call her. I dialed her number and picked up the phone by the end of the first ring.

"Hello Anthony how was your flight?' she asked.

"It was fine mother. We are in the car with Jake and Seth. They are taking us to Billy's before we head out to Pop's for dinner." I answered.

"Hey Bella," Jake and Seth yelled.

"Wait, Mom. Let me put you on the speaker." I told her.

"Hi guys how are you?" she asked.

"Good how are you?" Jake asked.

"I am fine. Getting ready to go to work" she answered.

"How was the flight?" Mom asked.

"Loooooong" replied Nessie and Carlie at the same time causing us to laugh. You think that they one mind the way they always answered together.

"Ok I got to head out. Jake I expect you and Seth to take care of my babies or else…" she threatened.

"Bella you know that no one will harm a hair on there heads and that also includes Tony," he tries reassure her. I turn to Jake sending him a "continue to mess with me and you regret" look. He hid his laugh with a cough.

"Ok Jake, I love you kids. I will be calling every day so you better answer those phones. Be safe…" she all but yelled at us.

"We love you Mom," we all said together.

"Bye kids, Jake and Seth."

"Bye" we finished and hung up the phone. Something is wrong!

We were in the car driving to la push so we can go cliff diving. We were staying with Billy Black, Jacob's father. He had a guest room for the girls and I was staying in Jakes room. He has a very large bed that took up most of the space in his room.

"Hi kids," Billy greeted us as we walked through the door.

He rolled to the door from the living room. Nessie and Carlie went up to and gave him a big hug and gave him a kiss on his cheeks at the same time and he start to chuckle.

"Look at you three. You all have grown up so much since the last we saw each other. How is Bella?" he asked.

"Mom is fine and very grateful for letting us stay with you during out vacations." I answered.

My sisters were busy talking to Jake and Seth in the kitchen so they were paying attention to our conversation.

"You are family Anthony. What kind of father would I be if I let you kids stay anywhere else but here? Besides Jake wouldn't have it any other way," Billy said.

I laughed at his response. Since Jacob imprinted on Renesmee, Billy was always there for us. Never judging us or turning his back to us or Mom. Always, whenever we needed him, just like with Charlie. He and Charlie have been best friends their whole lives. We were really one big happy family. This Sunday all of us planned on going fishing.

We got to Pop's house for dinner and he was waiting for us out side. We ran up to him and gave him hugs and kisses.

"Come on inside guys. Dinner should be ready in a few. Your grandmother is cooking fish fry," he said as we entered the house. We then went to the kitchen to give Grandma Sue hugs and kisses as well. Pops was in the living room with Billy while Jake and Seth in wolf form surveyed the area making sure we were safe. Talk about being over protective

"Hi Grandma, how are you?" I asked.

"Fine Thank you Anthony. How are you kids doing?" she asked.

"I'm really excited that I will be able to spend Spring break here with all of you" Nessie said

"Me too, I can't wait for our adventure to being," Carlie added.

Pop's called us to the living room so Sue could finish cooking.

"Look at you, you all grew up. How is Bella?" he sat in his recliner.

"We missed you so much! Moms good she had to work" Nessie said.

"Yeah Pops, we should visit more often" Carlie added.

"How can you mother work in the hospital with so much blood?" he mused.

"Grandpa, Mom is not your typical vampire. She never craved human blood. None of us ever had. It has to do something with her shield. And she really loves her job. It gives her much pleasure to be able to help," I said and the devotion in my voice was easily traced.

"This is my Bella. Always wanted to help those around her in every way possible..." he said with pride.

"Dinner is ready!" Sue called to us. We all sat around the dinner table. Everyone was quite enjoying the spread of food laid out before us. After we ate dinner Pop and Billy went to the living room to watch the Mariners game. Nessie, Carlie, Jake and Seth went for a walk in the woods and I stayed with Sue to help her clean the kitchen. It reminded me of all the times I would spend with Mom doing things around the house.

I started thinking about her again. What she was doing? What's in her thoughts? There is something that doesn't feel right. I don't know if it's because this is the first time in 19 years we spent apart. I missed her so much. I had to listen to her voice so I dialed her number. It rang twice.

"Hello Anthony," an unfamiliar male voice said.
