Chapter 13

APOV

I called Bella's cell phone without any luck. I tried Edward's; Still no answer.

I called Bella's one last time. If she didn't pick up now, I was going to her house. I told her to be ready by nine this morning. I glanced at the time on my cell phone before dialing. 9:08a.m. We were definitely going to be late.

"Hi! You got my voice mail. You know what to do, so do it," Bella's voice said. I sighed and waited for the beep.

"Isabella Marie Swan, get your ass out of the bed that you are most likely in and call me back. You are making us late. If you don't call me back in ten minutes, I'm coming to your house to get you," I said angrily.

I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist, relaxing me almost instantly.

"Alice, honey, relax. So we won't get to the cottage until later. It's not a big deal," Jasper said.

"I am relaxed!" I snapped.

He rubbed soothing circles on my shoulders. "You're not relaxed, Aly."

I sighed as he scooped me up and sat down on the couch. "Are you packed?"

I pecked his cheek. "Yep. I don't know what I did to deserve you, but I'm glad I did it."

He smiled. "I don't know how I ended up with you, but I'm glad I did."

"I love you," I told him.

"And I you," he replied.

"Is everything in the Jeep?" Emmett asked, coming out of his bedroom buttoning up his shirt.

"All our stuff is," I said for Jasper and I.

"Ours is too, babe," Rosalie told him.

"We're just waiting on Slow Poke Number 1 and Slow Poke Number 2," I explained.

Bella and Edward pulled up half an hour later with the truck.

"Sorry we're so late," Bella said.

"That's it? No excuse?" Emmett smirked.

"We.. uh.. woke up late?" Bella said, making it sound like a question.. Edward hid a chuckle.

"Alright, let's get this show on the road," I said, ignoring them both.

"All we have to do is pack the food," Emmett said.

"Dry food is in the container by the door, drinks and cold foods are in the coolers," Alice said.

We put the food in the truck bed, and piled in the two cars. Jasper and I sat in the Jeep with Emmett and Rose, while Bella and Edward took the truck.

A round of sodas, 47 songs playing through the car's radio from my iPod, and an entire bag of chips later, we pulled into the driveway of Rosalie's mom's cottage. From the driveway, you could see the lake behind it along with the backyard. A woman came out to great us. She had the exact same curls Rosalie did, except her hair was a shade darker.

"Hello, Emmett," she said, hugging Emmett right away. "It's nice to see you again."

"It's good to see you too, Lilly," he said, hugging her back.

"Mom, this is Jasper and Alice, and pulling up now is Bella and Edward," Rosalie introduced us.

"It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Hale," I said.

"Please, call me Lilly. Mrs. Hale is my mother," she laughed.

"Sure," I said brilliantly. Way to start the weekend.

"Well, don't just stand there," a man's voice I didn't recognize said. "Come on inside."

"Hey, Dad," Rosalie greeted him. "Dad, Emmett, Jasper, Alice," she said, pointing to each of us. She spun around and pointed to Edward and Bella, who were walking over to where we were. "Bella, Edward."

He waved as we came inside.

"The tents are downstairs, honey. You should probably help your friends set them up sometime before it gets dark," Lilly said to Rosalie.

"Alright," she said. "Do guys want to do that now?" she asked us.

We shrugged in response.

"Sure," Emmett said.

I'm honestly surprised that Alice wanted to come here. Sleeping in a tent is so not an Alice thing to do.

Rosalie had a room here, this being her parent's cottage. I'm sure she grew up coming here all the time. Her and Emmett were sleeping in the house. We offered to cook the meals because they were letting us stay here.

According to Rosalie, there were two kayaks, a Pontoon boat, and a speedboat. They also had a tube, water skis, and of course life jackets.

When we got outside with the tents, there was an RV parked on the back lawn. The awning was out, and there were chairs set up under it. A lab was laying in the grass.

Closer to the water now, I saw a man and a woman sitting in foldable chairs, along with two little kids playing in the sand and one swimming in the water.

Rosalie must have seen me watching them, because she explained, "That's my aunt, my uncle and their three kids."

"Rosie?" one of the little kids yelled.

"Over here, bud!" Rosalie yelled towards the water. "That's my cousin Ian," she said to me. "He's four. Nathan is the other little boy. He's six. Alexis is two. She's the little girl."

"Aw, they're adorable," I said as Ian ran towards us.

"Bella, a little help, please!" Edward called. I looked over to see him and Emmett tangled in the tent. I couldn't hold my laughter. Somehow, they had managed to tie themselves up while still standing. They were trying to get the tent off them, but it wasn't working for them. One of the poles was in there too, the top waving around with their movement.

"Wait, I've almost got us loose," Emmett said. He pulled on the fabric of the tent, sending them both to the ground. Edward ended up on top of Emmett.

"Emmett, Edward -I don't know what you're doing but there are children present!" Rosalie said, jokingly covering Ian's eyes.

I went over and untangled them.

"It's just so damn hard!" Emmett said.

I laughed again at the sexual innuendo. Okay, having sex definitely changed my view on the minimal things.

"Ooh, he said a bad word!" Ian said, pointing.

"Sorry, little man. Won't happen again," he told him.

I pushed Emmett away and pitched the tent easily.

"How in the world did you do that?" Emmett asked.

"It's easy when you don't have a re-, er, Emmett doing it for you," I caught myself before saying retard.

Jasper and Alice came over from their tent.

"Rosie, can we go on the floater?" Ian asked.

"Sure, Ian. Why don't you get Lex and Nathan and tell them we're going?" she replied.

"Okie dokie!" he skipped off to the water.

"Not to sound stupid, but what's a floater?" Edward asked.

"Oh, he wants to go tubing."

"Oh, gotcha," he said.

We got changed into bathing suits and hooked the tube up to the back of the boat. We were standing on the dock, making sure all three kids had life vests.

"I'm assuming none of you have your boater's license, so I'll drive. One of you needs to watch the kid in the tube and one needs to keep an eye on the other two," Rosalie said.

"Rosalie, do they know the signals?" Nathan asked.

"Yep!" Emmett said. "Thumbs up, faster, thumbs down, slower. High five hand means stop." He made each signal as he said them.

"And if we see this," Jasper said waving his hands around frantically, "we know you fell off." Making the kids laugh.

Rose hopped over the side of the boat, followed by Jasper. Rosalie turned the boat on while Jasper helped each little kid over the side of the boat. The rest of us got in after. Lex went to sit and 'drive' on Rosalie's lap. The boys sat at the back, fighting over who went first.

"I think I should go first," Emmett said.

Both boys grinned at each other. "Okay, Emmett. You can go first," Nathan said.

They obviously had something up their sleeve.

Once Emmett was out in the water on the tube, the boys offered to spot for him. I said I'd help them.

"We want him to fall out!" Ian whispered in my ear when I sat next to him.

I laughed. "Okay, I'll help you," I told him.

"He wants faster," the boys said.

"Well, duh, sillies. We haven't gone yet," Rosalie said.

"Awexis down, pwease," Alexis asked Rosalie. "No more dwive."

Edward went to take her from Rosalie. He came and sat next to me, Alexis in his arms.

"Faster!" the boys yelled again.

Rosalie sped up.

"You should stand, Emmett!" Jasper yelled to him.

"Slow down a bit Rose, Em wants to stand," I laughed.

Rosalie slowed so he could stand. Once he was up, she sped up more. The boys yelled faster again. You could tell Emmett was struggling to stay on. He was now holding on the front of the tube with his hands, his butt in the air. Rosalie went through the waves of another boat, causing Emmett's hands to slip. He flew off backwards, sending the boys into a laughing fit. Alexis turned around to look at what was so funny. She saw him swimming to the boat, and giggled.

"Rosalie, stop. Emmett flew off," Edward told her.

"Well, darn, and I thought we could leave him," I joked.

They laughed more when Emmett climbed up the ladder in the back dripping wet.

"Towel, please," Emmett said. Alice threw one at him.

"You think this is funny?" he asked.

"I do!" Ian said.

"Well, I think this is funny," Emmett told them. He shook himself off like a dog, getting us all wet. Alexis giggled again.

The rest of the weekend was pretty much the same. The boys pranked Emmett in any way possible. Tons of time was spent on the water; in the boats, laying on the rafts in the water, swimming. It was nice to go somewhere where we didn't have to worry about rude waiters, people hitting on us, or having to do anything productive. Most of all, it was good spend a weekend together.

I have go- bad news. This is the last chapter. Minus the epilogue which will be posted right after this. I really had nothing else to do with the story. It was getting to be pretty pointless. Thank you for taking the journey with me, but now we have reached our stop and it's time to get off the train. Okay, that was really lame. xD

If you still want your fix of jamienicole3x fanfiction, I do have a new fic posted. =D
