Chapter 6
Bella POV
I had always wondered about the existence of fates loom. I imagined my life woven into it, my family and friends weaving in out of each other, each one shining beautiful and bright. The glowing complementary colors of the people I loved winding around my gold or even crimson thread, the representation of my life as an immortal. I knew that my old color, something non-confrontational like beige, could not of taken the on the amount of love for so many. The brilliant emerald green of Edward and the glorious yellow of Renesmee where my main focus, but I could never leave out the pixie gold of Alice, the shocking pink of Rosalie, Jasper's calming turquoise, Emmet's strong purple, the silver that was Carlise and Esme's soft white. The deep woodsy colors of the werewolves, Quil, Embry, Seth, Leah and the most important, Jacob, who of course I could not live without. My father was there, a serene blue with the sturdy brick red of Sue Clearwater now by his side forever. And since this time last year, my mother. The best friend, teacher, guide and person I have ever known had come into my new world. It had been hard, she was not as strong and excepting as Charlie, but she took it all. Everything about my life, the way I looked, my sensitivity to the sun and the biggest thing of all. Her grandchild. Renesmee was still growing but not as such a rate as the first three months of her life. That was the hardest thing for Renee to except. It was not that she didn't like or even love her, it was the impossibility of it all. However, she was here, in the happiness that was life, and for that I was thankful.
Me and Edward and just got back from hunting in Canada (I prefer the bears up there. I seemed to have acquired the liking from Emmet, for which he is very please about) when some interesting news arrived. Nessie wanted to stay behind this time, not liking to leave Jacob to long. I had enjoyed the time away, but I did was anxious to get back to my daughter. At 1 year and 8 months old she was about the size of and 8 year old and she would surely of grown while we where away. We did know that she would have reached full maturity in the next 5-6 years or so thanks to Alice's resound search during those dreaded times when I was sure I was a dead vampire, not an easy thing to be. Edward and I did worry whether she was going to have any problems with friends her own age, or should I say, age she looks. Her grammar and articulation where that of a very smart adult and her features where more in proportion than any 8 year old.
"Mommy! Daddy!" Nessie's soprano cry of joy sounded like sweet music to my ears. She ran effortlessly across the room to where Edward and I stood and I scooped her up into my arms. She fitted exactly right, just like the way she had always done, ever since she was 2 days old. Edward put his arm around me an her and nestled his head into Nessie's long bronze ringlets.
"You've grown my darling." He said with a smile as he read the what I thought, was an exasperated thought in Nessie's head. She reached up to my face and placed her warm hand there. I closed my eyes in content and concentrated on the thoughts of welcome and questions she threw at me. A picture of our last hunt. Did I catch anything bigger? The lakes and mountains she remembered when she came with us last time. Had anything changed? Was there flowers by the water side? I smiled at her questions and reassured her that she hadn't missed much. I greeted Jacob, not at all awkward, like and old and loyal friend. He didn't mind my smell or cold, marble like hug. Our relationship was the easiest it had ever been.
"So what did you guys get up to?" I asked Jacob and Nessie. Her hand was still on my face and I caught an edge of excitement which I hadn't noticed before. She was looking at Jacob, waiting for him to start off the story. Carlise was at work (I was amazed that they thought he was in his thirties, even though he was technically 23.) Esme had gone to see Sue. Their unlikely friendship was something that I don't think even Edward had not anticipated. Alice and Jasper had gone to Denali. They had acquired a new family member, a young girl called Sarah and they had asked Jasper to help get her settled. Rosalie and Emmet had got back, form their 10th honey moon, just before we had. I could tell they where listening. Jacob sat down on the sofa and smiled a strange smile. It was a mixture of amazement, confusion and pity, I think.
"Well not much really. Today we went to La Push. We saw Sam and Emily and baby Leah. Shes quite big now. And Billy and Sue." I smiled at the mention of Sam and Emily baby. She was adorable, though not as gorgeous as Nessie had been. I waited as I could tell there was something more. Edward was scrunching his eyes slightly to concentrate on Jakes thoughts but I could tell he was getting no where.
"And we saw Seth to..." At this point Nessie interrupted. She spoke instead of using her normal way which surprised me. She probably wanted Emmet and Rosalie to hear.
"He had bought a friend with him. Her names Ellie and she moved to La Push today. She's very nice and didn't seem intimidated by me or even Jacob at all." She said this with some smugness.
"Really? Thats nice honey"
"And we played on the beach all afternoon and mommy I would like to her again tomorrow."
I beamed at Nessie. She had found a new friend, not that wasn't surprising. It was just the way she talked about her like she wanted to be best friends with her. I reached out to Edwards arm and pushed at my shield. He heard my thoughts and smiled to.
"How old is she? Whats she like?" At my second question, Jacob's expression became even more hard to read.
He answered my first question.
"She's same age as Seth"
"And she looks a lot like you mommy" Nessie chimed in. I was taken a back. She looked like me? Was she a Vampire? Surely not. The wolves would have known. They wouldn't a vampire move to La Push.
"I think she means how you used to look." Said Jacob with a ever so slight sad smile.
"You mean when I was human?" I asked.
"Yeah, And its not just that. She acts like you too. She accepted Nessie as a normal person" We had found that when we take Nessie out in public, she is stared at a lot. Even more than any member of the family with her. It doesn't bother her, but me and Edward agreed that going out into town with her was a rare thing.
"And she's very clumsy."
"As clumsy as Bella? Now theres a something I thought I'd never hear" Said Rosalie teasingly.
At this Emmet laughed so hard the booming sound made the table he was leaning on wobble violently. I bared me teeth at them but I wasn't thinking about that. I wasn't sure how to take on this new revaluation. I was over the moon Nessie had found a friend but would she be around long? Ellie would surly notice her growth spurts, even with human eyes and she would have to meet us at some point, something a could sympathize with. I knew who scary it was. I looked at Edward and I knew he was thinking the same thing as me.
"Nessie, did you say you would like to see her tomorrow?" He asked, his voice steady and conversational, but I knew he was skeptical too. She stared at him pointedly, willing him to read her thoughts. She put her hand to my face so I could see what Edward was seeing. I had to admit the girl did look very much like me, or how I used to look. She had the same pale skin, heart shaped face and dark brown hair. When the image of her Nessie playing in the see swam into my vision, a little crease I recognized formed between her eyebrows. She was worried about Nessie! The only thing that was different was her eyes. Where mine had been dark brown, hers where a very pretty hazel color with hints of green. Nessie pushed her hand hard to my face to stress her wish of seeing her again very soon. I stared at Edward. My hand was still on his arm and I pushed at my shield. He nodded ever so slightly at my thoughts and I turned back to Nessie. She was already beaming as if she knew our answer.
"Of course she can come over tomorrow. But how will you let her know?" Nessie smiled cunningly. She had already worked out how. My daughter knew me well.
* * * *
As I gazed at the stars, I tried to bring to my mind the first time I had met the Cullen's. It was a human memory, but with some help from Rosalie, I had managed to keep most of them with me in this life. Edwards arm was around me as we lay on the roof of our cottage, and I opened my mind so he could hear.
"I'm sure if the girl can cope with Nessie and Jacob, she will be fine tomorrow. And if she's anymore like you, she won't be scared about our appearance, just nervous about the fact that she's meeting Nessie's family." He smiled that crooked smile I loved, and my worries seemed to melt away. But unlike when I was human, my mind was much bigger, and the thought was only pushed to the back, ready to deal with tomorrow...
I thought I needed something about Nessie' new friend from Bella's point of view.
