~Thinking of You~
Chapter Five
Edward's POV
Edward, Alice's "voice" abruptly entered into my mind. But, with a certain dark haired angel that was my wife distracting me at the moment, I decided to ignore Alice. Edward! Do NOT ignore me! Alice practically screeched at me through her mind; once again I ignored her.
When the door to our bedroom slammed opened, Bella and I pulled away from each other's lips, to glare at Alice who stood in the doorway, her hands on top of her hips, while she just glowered right back at us. "Alice, do you have to barge into our room like this?" Bella asked her, sounding extremely agitated.
"If you two would've stop sucking face with each other, I would've came in here a little more civilized. At least I didn't walk in on you two in a more awkward position." Alice teased us, rolling her golden eyes. "So, what was so important that you had to interrupt us, Alice?" I asked her, shifting my gorgeous wife where she was tucked into my side snuggly.
"Reneesme." Alice said simply; immediately and impulsively, Bella and I went into "overly- protective-parent-mode" as Emmet would put it.
"Is she sick?"
"Is she hurt?"
"Was she kidnapped?"
"Did Emmett scare her into hiding?"
"Did Jacob hurt her?"
"Both of you, can you shut up for like five minutes, please?" Alice exclaimed over our panicking, huffing angrily at us. "First of all, no to all of your worries." Alice began, and immediately we relaxed upon hearing this. "And second of all, the reason why I interrupted you about Reneesme, is that it's time you two stop being so along with each other, and spend some time with you daughter." Alice continued. "Without Jacob." Alice added.
"Okay." Bella stated happily; she was happy that we're going to be able to spend time with our three year older looking daughter who's growth development has slowed to a near stop, dramatically. I was also happy that we would be able to get to spend time with our daughter. We wanted to have enough time to have Reneesme as a real young child, instead of standing idly by and watch her grow up to be a teenager or whenever she'll stop growing, in only seven or more years, from Carlisle's prediction of Nahuel.
"I've arranged for you three to go to the zoo so you guys should head on over there." Alice informed us after Bella and I put on some shoes to wear when we go out. "Oh, Bella! I can't let you go out looking like that!" Alice hissed the last part, while she gestured at Bella's appearance. Bella was wearing one of my t-shirts, some sweats, grey Ugg boots, and her hair was a messy haystack thanks to my hands, where I had run them through her hair earlier.
But did I care if she looked like so? Nope. But Alice had other ideas.
"Alice, my wife looks absolutely perfect." I growled at her, wrapping my arm around Bella's petite waist, scowling darkly at Alice for insulting my wife's appearance. "Too bad, Edward. I can't let her go out looking like she just rolled out of bed." Alice said to me, before she yanked Bella out of my grasp, and dragged her off. Stupid darn pixie. I thought bitterly to myself, while I walked downstairs to the living room, to see Reneesme by Rosalie, looking adorable in her little ivory and green dress.
She saw me, and with a big bright smile, Reneesme jumped up from her spot and danced her way over to my outstretched arms, and when I was holding her, Reneesme kissed my cheek in greeting. "Hi Daddy." Reneesme squealed to me happily, giggling, her brown eyes - Bella's human eyes - sparkled with joy. "Hey Pumpkin." I murmured to her, kissing her forehead with a smile.
Reneesme then looked over my shoulder, and looked around the room, before she pouted deeply up at me. "What is it, sweetheart?" I asked her, frowning; why was my second angel so sad so suddenly? Reneesme placed her tiny hand, and showed me a picture of Bella, while she asked me through her thoughts, Where's Momma?
"Oh, Momma is being held hostage by Aunt Alice right now, dear. She'll be down soon, and then we'll go to the zoo." I assured her, chuckling. Reneesme giggled at how I joked about Alice taking Bella to play Bella Barbie, and nodded before resting her bronze head on my shoulder. But, afterwards, she replaced her hand on my cheek again, frowning. Where's Jakey? Reneesme asked through her thoughts after she showed me a image of Jacob.
"Jacob is... uh..." I trailed off, pursing my lips; now that she mentioned it, I had no idea where Jacob was. "The dog went off with his pack back to the reservation, telling us that he needed to hack out some issues with the others back in La Push." Rosalie stated rather unwillingly; her animosity towards Jacob has lessened only by a little, so it was clear to see that she still didn't like Jacob. "Oh." Both Reneesme and I said simultaneously.
After several more minutes, the wait for Bella and Alice to emerge was over. Alice came downstairs with Bella behind her. The ever fashionista she is, Alice dressed Bella in a high waist dress, the top part being white and black striped, and the bottom half being black and in ruffled layers. Alice also had Bella wear a ruffled sleeved small shrug, with black buckle high heel shoes, and a black flower pin was in her smooth and shiny dark brown hair. She was gorgeous as always.
"Hello there, love." I greeted her a happy kiss on her lips, and handed Reneesme over to her mother who took her in her slender arms gratefully. "Momma pretty!" Reneesme cried, kissing Bella on the lips quickly, and giggled. "Alright, you better get going now; no way am I going to have Bella's outfit wasted." Alice ushered out of the house, and into the garage where I "dazzled" my wife into where we could take the Ferrari I had given to her as her after car from after the Mercedes Guardian I had given her last year, to the zoo.
"Why do we have to take this car? It's too flashy." Bella complained to me in a grumble, holding our daughter in her lap since unfortunately, there was no seats in this car for her to sit in. "I just wanted to take this car, honey. You've never used it yet." I muttered to her, frowning at her. I knew that she never really liked me buying anything expensive for her, and she hasn't even used this car yet. "I'm sorry, Edward, but, this car is just too much for me. I would look so... arrogant if I were to drive this around town. I do like the car; I like that it goes pretty fast," she loves speed just as much as I do. "but, still, it's too ostentatious." Bella finished, sighing.
"Ostrin-taters?" Reneesme asked, completely missing our words, and butchering it. Though Reneesme was smart for her age, looking like a three year old and being able to pronounce words well, there were some words here and there that could confuse our daughter. "Ostentatious, darling. It means flashy, showy, too attention grabbing." Bella explained to her gently, who nodded.
"Well, being ostentatious and beautiful is what makes us Cullens the main gossip, sweetheart. So, yeah." I finished lamely, and we laughed together.
We drove through streets and intersections, gaining gawks, stares and plenty of gossiping from onlookers that were out today, before I pulled into the parking lot of the zoo. I got out, hearing faint swooning from the females that were here with their kids and friends, and made my way over to Bella's side. I opened the door - ever the gentleman, I am - and Bella got out, smiling up at me.
"Are we here?" Reneesme asked us softly, peering around. "Yes we are sweetie. But, since you can talk fluently unlike a regular three year old, try not to speak so loud, and only say things that a human three year old would say, okay?" I asked her; I didn't want to grab any more attention than we already have on us. "Okay Daddy." Reneesme replied back, nodding her head.
"Let's go see some animals, my little monster." Bella teased our daughter; since she was half- vampire/half-human, and with everyone calling her "Nessie" except for Bella, we started calling her "Little Monster" and she didn't seem to mind the nickname. Reneesme giggling in Bella's arms, and my arm wrapped around my wife's small waist, we walked through the parking lot and towards the zoo.
Oh my god... He's so handsome!
Dang! He's HOT!
Too bad she's taken...
What I wouldn't do to have her under my arm...
Oh, what a cute little girl.
She's so lucky!
He's so lucky!
That brat must be spoiled to death if her parents own a Ferrari.
The thoughts assaulted me, everyone in the parking looking directly at us. At least there was one nice thought in there, and it wasn't about Bella or me. Ignoring the thoughts, we got our tickets, and entered the zoo. "So, what do you want to go to first?" Bella asked both Reneesme and I when we stopped under a tree; thank gosh it's cloudy today.
"Kitty!" Reneesme squealed, and pointed over Bella's shoulder, to the lion exhibit. "Of course; a daughter of mountain lion eater wants to see the lions." Bella muttered quietly, making me bark a laugh and earn stares. We walked over to the lion exhibit, and watched the leader of the lion sit there next to a female lion, just lounging around. "Don't they look pretty?" Bella asked Reneesme softly, pointing out to the animals. "Yeah; pretty good enough to eat." I joked with Bella quietly, chuckling but was silenced when she smacked me lightly in the arm.
"Where to next?" Bella asked after we left the lion exhibit. "Doggy!" Reneesme cried, and pointed over to the wolf exhibit. Seriously? Wolves? Bella, giggling at my scowl to the wolves, walked on ahead of me with our laughing daughter in her arms, and my grumbling figure following behind her.
We watched the wolves interact with each other, with the Alpha watching over the followers, the Beta beside him, and the female wolves with the pups lounged off to the side. "Cute doggies." Reneesme said with a smile, and waved to the doggies who acknowledged us. One little pup even got close to where we were, with its mother and the Alpha following the pup's movement. "Can we keep one?" Reneesme asked me softly. "No, honey. We can't keep a wolf. Remember, we already have one wolf back home for you." I reminded her, kissing her forehead.
"Come on, let's go to the exotic bird exhibit." Bella suggested to Reneesme, the frown on her baby face disappearing upon hearing that. "Yay!" Reneesme cheered, clapping her tiny hands. We walked around the zoo, the thoughts of females and males never ending. The day progressed on, with us checking out plenty of animals here and there. The petting zoo part in the large zoo, was really where Reneesme was happy because she loved animals a lot.
"Where should we go next?" Bella asked me after we stopped to get Reneesme a little something to eat; we have to keep up the human pretenses somehow. Just before I could answer, my cell phone began ringing. "Hello?" I asked into the phone. "Go to the aquarium in Port Angeles. I already got you three some tickets to go check out the sea life they have there." Alice told me over the phone, before hanging up on me.
"Fish?" Bella asked me, overhearing the short phone call. "Yep." I told her, shutting my phone and putting it back in my pocket. After Reneesme was done eating her snack, we walked out of the zoo, and drove to Port Angeles - again earning stares. We walked around in the aquarium, and just as we were looking at some of the angel fish, two certain thoughts came into my mind.
Dang, that woman there is seriously hot! Why does she look so familiar?
That man over there is really good looking, unlike Mikey. Why does he look familiar?
"Uh-oh." I said out-loud but quiet where only my wife and daughter was able to hear me, upon hearing those thoughts. "What is it?" my Bella asked me, her eyebrows furrowing. "We got a situation a distance away from us." I told her stiffly, picking up Reneesme who pouted up at me for doing so, while I saw Bella look behind us over at Mike's and Jessica's direction, and she gasped quietly.
Is that Bella? Both Mike and Jessica thought simultaneously. "Let's go to another room or something." I hissed to Bella, grabbing her hand in mine, and began marching off in the opposite direction, trying to hide our daughter. But, unfortunately, both Mike and Jessica saw a glimpse of her, long enough to question themselves in their mind, if she was our daughter.
Just when we walked into another room, another familiar "voice" entered into my mind.
Oh, is that Bella and Edward? And who's that adorable girl in Edward's arms? the kind thought of Angela spoke in my mind. "Dang it." I cursed, and veered off in another direction. But, this time, we weren't able to make a quick escape. "Bella! Edward!" Angela called to us, and when we turned around, Angela was standing in front of us. "Oh, hey Angela." Bella greeted her with a smile, though I could see her gulp, holding back the sudden victim that could pool when we get too close to humans. "Be good." I hissed to Reneesme quickly, who barely nodded against my shoulder.
"What are you doing here, Angela?" Bella asked her, squeezing my hand softly. "I'm here, studying captive marine life for a college assignment." Angela told her, holding up a notebook that was opened with a page filled with notes of the marine life she was looking at earlier. "Why are you guys here?" Angela asked us. Maybe they're taking their daughter out to see the fish here. Angela thought curiously.
"We're taking our new... little sister out to see some of the fish before we move." I answered hurried. Little sister? Well, she could be their little sister, but why does she have Edward's hair color? Angela thought to herself. "Oh. Well, she looks so adorable." Angela replied, smiling kindly over at me. At this moment, Reneesme decided that she wanted to be put down, so I let her down and let her walk over to Bella, who clutched onto her leg, and stared up at Angela with her big brown eyes.
Wait a minute. Aren't those Bella's brown eyes? Angela thought. Crud.
"Why does she look like you two combined though? She has your hair color, Edward, and has your eyes - er, old eyes, I mean - Bella." Angela said to us, correcting herself when she noticed Bella's golden eyes. "You caught us." Bella said defeated, causing me to eye her. "Caught?" Angela asked. "Yes, caught. This little one here isn't our new sister. She's our daughter." Bella told her, sighing. "Hi!" Reneesme greeted Angela with a wave and a giggle.
"Daughter?" Angela asked, her dark eyes wide. She's their daughter? But, they look so young while their kid looks like three. Angela thought. "Yes." Bella answered, picking our daughter up in her arms. "Why didn't you tell me the truth?" Angela asked us, eyeing me mostly since I did lie to her. "We didn't want anyone poking their noses in where they shouldn't be. The rumors would be too horrible; "They're so young", "He probably got her preggers when they first met", "The kid was probably why they got married"." Bella lied to her convincingly, and upon these lies, Bella added with a sad frown, "We love each other so much, and we love our daughter, but we didn't want these rumors to affect everyone else."
That's my actress. I thought proudly to myself.
Oh, now I see why they didn't tell me. Angela thought to herself, while she nodded sympathetically to Bella. "Okay, I'm sorry if I was accusing anything. I just wanted to know who this cutie was." Angela said, and waved back to a smiling Reneesme. "She really is adorable." Angela told Bella, who smiled proudly down at our daughter. "She is; she has the whole family wrapped around her little baby fingers." Bella told her, laughing.
After Angela left, we were attacked by Mike and Jessica when we were by the octopuses. "Bella? Edward? Is that you?" Newton asked us, Jessica by his side. Dang, that is Bella. I'd recognized those curves anywhere. Mike thought to himself, eyeing Bella's figure appreciatively. "Jessica, Newton." I greeted them curtly, holding Bella close to my side, where Bella protected our daughter.
"You two look good still." Jessica said offhandedly. Stupid little floozy. She still has the hottest guy under her spell, and now they have a brat. Jessica thought seething about Bella, causing me to growl deep down, where Mike eyed me carefully. "Yep. The marriage life is going well between us." Bella told them, where I moved my hand to show off my wedding band to the two. "Uh, cool." Mike mumbled, nodding his blond head. Stupid Cullen. If he hadn't come back during high school, I would've gotten my shot at this babe I saw before him. Mike grumbled internally to himself.
"So, who's this little girl here? A new sister?" Jessica asked suddenly and dumbly, reaching her hand out to touch our daughter; the nerve of this witch. Bella growled and glared at Jessica, and whipped Reneesme back, while our daughter whimpered for she didn't know these two. "No. She is our daughter," so much for not wanting to get rumors around. "and she doesn't like strangers, nor any of them touching her for that matter." Bella added, scowling at Jessica's outstretched hand which she pulled back.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know." Jessica mumbled to Bella, while she and Mike's thoughts were surprised but somewhat knowing, now that they had confirmation that Reneesme was our daughter. "Well, it was nice bumping into you," not. "but we must be going." I hastily said to them, growling lowly still, and with that, Bella and I walked away from Mike and Jessica, heading towards the seal exhibit.
"Ugh." Bella grumbled to herself, sighing while she continued to watch our daughter who was watching the seals happily. "What is it?" I asked her softly, turning my body towards her. "It's just... why did Jessica think she could just touch our daughter?" Bella growled to herself, glowering down at her lap. "Oh, sweetheart, you have to remember that Jessica was never the brightest." I reminded her, wrapping my hands around her shoulders.
"I know she wasn't, but seriously. Those two, whom we haven't seen since the wedding, just comes up to us, with Mike eyeing me and Jessica eyeing you. It was totally rude, and she was crossing the line thinking she could touch Reneesme. I was about to go all Mamma Bear on her butt if she touched a single hair on our baby's head." Bella rambled, throwing her hands up exasperatedly. "I'm tired of those two being such flirters and assumers or whatever, towards us. I don't care if they tell the whole world that we have a daughter; I want them to leave us alone." Bella added with a haughty huff.
"Bella, baby," I began in a soft purr, and let my hands move up and down her arms soothingly. "Humans are going to be doing that for as long as we shall live. Hormones of the females and males are practically unstoppable, so we'll be stuck with the flirting and attempts of seduction from both parties, and we can't do anything about it really. At least there will be some nice thoughts of nicer people, but mostly, we'll be stuck with people we don't want to be near." I reminded her, kissing her ear, and felt her shiver even though she wasn't cold.
"Plus, remember this; when Reneesme grows into a more womanly body, I'll have to worry about you and her from the males' thoughts." I said, trying to cheer her up some. It worked because Bella giggled lightly and smiled up at me. "Well, while you beat off other boys, I'll be beating off girls with a bat to keep them away from you and Jacob." Bella said; I know that she would protect our daughter's heart, meaning we will both have to watch Jacob and Reneesme.
"I guess you're right." I told her, chuckling. With that, I kissed my wife. Though she was still herself - the Bella that was both innocent yet fierce, loving yet protective of those important to her, gorgeous yet not conceited, and a woman with a heart of gold - I know that she'll have insecurities along the way. Just as long as I have her by my side, my endless immortality will be satisfying.
A/N: I hope this little "Thinking of You" request was good to you, Amy. I tried my best in showing the fluffy love between Edward and Bella, and also the family fun between these three.

NEWS:
1. As you readers are probably aware of, I have taken some stories down from my profile, and deleted them. I just couldn't come up with any new ideas for those old stories that are on my list of Deleted Stories. I did try my best in thinking of new ideas for those stories, but I couldn't. I would also like to apologize to the one author that I had done her story for her.
2. I'm thinking about posting up a new story - again. -_- This new story idea I'm thinking about right now, sounds like fun and something so sweet to me, that I would love to give it a try. :) Thing is, I won't be telling anyone about it in here. XD Nope; I'll just be keeping this new idea to myself for now, so if you're curious about this story, I suggest that you "Author Alert" me because I might post this new story idea soon. But, I'll be nice and give you only TWO hints about it:
*It's a Twilight story*
*And it's an A/H story*
3. I'm back from my long and tiring New York trip. New York City is... eh. For me, not all that fun. It was huge, it was muggy, it smelled funny, and it was HOT, thanks to the stupid heat wave up in the east. But, I was happy when I got to take my picture with the Robert Pattinson Wax Figure - I'm that obsessed with him X3 - and I got to see some of my family members that live in the east.
4. I was able to get the Eclipse Soundtrack in New York! I now have it on my I-pod! w00t! It's totally awesome, and now it's great that I can stop listening to the songs on Youtube, and then having to find the videos again since the old ones I were listening to were getting taken down. But, I don't have the bonus music on the CD, since it's not the Deluxe Edition. :(
5. I have two new banners up on my second website, in the Photos Section, and look for the "Story Banners" album. I have on for "Dawning of A New Journey" and for "Thinking of You".
6. Finally, I got my high school stuff in, which means school is just getting closer by the day. :( I'm nervous - I'm going to be fresh meat DX - and mostly, I don't have all of my classes with my friends. I barely have any of my classes with them. X( *sigh* Hopefully, I'll have fun there...
Anyways, please review if you liked the chapter, and remember, I need some more requests for new chapters! XD Also, please vote on the poll on my profile if you read Darkness of Twilight!
Bye for now,
~*Lady Lily of Darkness*~
