Back To School: CH. 8 Bella's POV
Disclaimers!! I have been forgetting to say, 'I do not own any of the Twilight characters and do not mean any infringement upon the author, or the producers whom made the movie.' Sooo, though my friend Kristen believes she owns Jasper. xD Anyway, I'm extending this disclaimer out towards the other seven chapters.
A/N; I really hope Kristen still reads my story even if she doesn't like something that's comin' up. ;[
As I felt the plane begin to land Edward and I exited the bathroom to find our seats. By the looks we were getting every person on the planeknew what we had just done. If I could, I would've blushed. Hell, some of the humans were doing it for me.
I watched Emmett burst out laughing aand let out a wolf whistle as an old noble seeming woman shook her head in disapproval even as her husband gave us the thumbs up. Thankfully the flight attendants were ignoring us.
Distracted from my embarrassment by the fact that Jacob had taken Edward's seat, I frowned. Edward had purposely taken the seat between them earlier, but I knew Jake well enough to know that he wasn't going to give up the seat now wihtout a fuss.
The seatbelt light flicked on in various areas and I used that as an escuse to pull Edward into the empty seat next to mine. I swelled with pride as I noticed the slightly dazzed expression on his face that surely mirrored my own. Maybe I really could dazzle the infamous Dazzler.
I watched as Jacob's large hand enveloped Renesmee's as they played a game. Next to Jake my little girl looked like the child she was supposed to be. Had it truly only been a few years? The phrase, "Our little girl is growing up so fast," took on a whole new meaning with us.
Thinking of her made me think of my own father and I sighed, the sound more human than not. As my moiod plummetted I watched Edward glance at Japser, then at me. I wasn't a fool. I knew that even while Edward and couldn't read my miund he often kept tabs on my with the help of Jasper and his physic pixie of a mate. when I was human the knowledge would've bothered me to no end. But now it just made me feel encased in the safety and concern of my family.
On it's own my mood rose and I watched as Japser and Edward both relaxed. Jasper sent me a questioning glance and my husband leaned over to whisper an explanation, no doubt lifted from Jazz's mind. "Jasper wants to know if you've suddenly become bi polar."
Laughing quietly I shook my head. "No.."
Edward smiled and took my hand in his own. "My too.. I like my wife just the way she is." He said the word wife just to make me uncomfortable. He knew I still had trouble with the idea of marraige defining our relationship. It was fine in my thoughts, but outside of my mind, the spoken word seemed to be more of a limit on the miracle of their love than a title at times.
He is my everything, my absolute, everything. As I smiled shyly at him he pulled my hand closer to his face and ran his satin lips across my knuckles, looking up at me from beneath heavy eyelashes in the way that easily stole my breath away. Even when breathing wasn't necessary.
I knew that if my heart was still beathing it would've stopped in that moment and I felt the sudden all encompasing need to be closer to him. Placing my head on his shoulder I burried my face in his marble throat.
Hearing an echoing of, 'Awe,' I looked up to see Seth and Emmett watching us with smiles on their faces. I rolled my eyes, Emmetts favourite thing was still to tease me whenever possible. Then again he teased everyone.
The second we touched ground I saw Rosalie instantly sit up, her eyes almost eager. She must've been suffering this whole time. Emmett cheered loudly, causing the plane's passengers to turn and look. He didn't bother looking sheepish and our family simply pretended to not know what was going on.
When we had bought our tickets I had been confused when everyone was surprised that the tickets listed we would be arriving at Haines Airport. It suddenly became clear as we exited the plane. Haines was tiny. Smaller even than Forks, something I hadn't thought possible in my human life.
Since we had arrived at the beginning of fall, the temperatures were lowering and the sun was solidly hidden behind a thick atmosphere of clouds. I no longer minded though, and I watched as Renesmee shivered slightly. Of course Jacob noticed too and stepped closer to her.
Wiating for us all in the parking lot were two Jeeps and a familiar looking silver Vovlo. One of the jeeps was decorated with a paw print on the back window. Jacob and Leah noticed this and rolled their eyes simultaneously.
Something seemed to dawn on him though and Jacob's expression turned clouded. I looked to Edward for an answer, techniquely cheating. Speaking in an unintelligible rush of vampire speed and frequency. "He's just now realizing just how much of his little, 'grand gesture,' we are funding for him. When he demanded he come he hadn't thought of thing such as money or living arangements."
Glancing up at Jacob I noticed that he was staring at us suspiciously. I quickly looked away, watching instead as Seth hooted and howled over their newly attained vehicle. "So..." I heard Edward begin, amusement decorating his voice, thinly veiling the worry. "This is your first move you've joined the family..."
I could hear the silent question in the hesitant way in which he spoke. He was worried that I regretted the decisions that had brought me to this point. Though the idea was ludacris to me, I could see now the insecurities playing out in Edward's features. He really thought it was possible. I smiled reassuringly. "It's kind of exciting to me.."
His answering smile was soft, but solemn. "The novelty will wear off with time and repeat."
I shook my head. "Even if it does, I will never regret any of this. So calm down already.. " I took his hand. "Just enjoy it."
Nodding he squeezed my hand, seemingly amazed as he stared down at our twined hands. I caught him doing this often. Staring in wonder as if he couldn't quite believe that we had made it. Both of us looked up as the Volvo let out two long beeps. I could see Renesmee inside, leaning from the backseat between the drivers seat and the passengers seat.
Though I was surprised to see her there instead of sitting shotgun in the Wolf Pack's new Jeep, I was happy. Her smiling face waiting for us was enough for me.
Suddenly I thought of something and was once again glad my mate couldn't read my mnd. Dropping his hand I sped to the car and quicker than a flash I was sitting in the drivers seat. I smirked as Edward pouted.
