And this is how we play ball…
Summary: Nessie invites Jacob to come and watch the Cullens play baseball during a thunderous day at Forks. Either this will end up good, or bad.
Pairings: same as always
Bella's POV
"Could they be any slower?" Edward asked for the millionth time.
We had been waiting for a while now and they weren't here yet. Jasper and Carlisle had been warming up and getting in tune with their bats. Weird, I know.
"Relax Edward. You said they're almost here didn't you?" I asked him. "A minute ago you said you could hear their thoughts. Plus, you told Emmett to slow down so I'm guessing he's driving 70 miles per hour?"
He chuckled. "So now you love driving fast?"
"Seeing as I'm a vampire, of course I do." I replied giving him a quick peck on the lips.
I turned around and quickly caught the baseball that was about to hit me. Ahhh… I love being a vampire.
"Sorry Bella. I was aiming for Edward." Emmett's booming voice called from across the field as Edward ran and tackled him to the ground.
Esme was already next to Carlisle trying to set up the bases. Rosalie and Jasper where trying to break up Edward and Emmett, while Alice was in her own little world trying to figure out when it was safe to play yet.
Renesmee and Jacob where making their way towards me. I could see the hesitance on Jacob's face as he was being dragged by Renesmee.
"Surely you are not afraid of a baseball are you Jake?" I asked him.
"No! Of course not!"
"Yeah, sure, uhu." My daughter replied. "Now if you would excuse me, I would like to get ready for the game and stretch a little bit." She laughed and jogged towards her grandparents.
"What's going on?" I inquired when we were alone but I can guess Edward listening to Jacob's thoughts. This involved his daughter so it wouldn't matter anyway.
"Nothing Bells."
"You're worried."
"Pssh… No! What am I worried about?"
I raised my eyebrows at him. "Jacob Black. You know you can't hide anything from me! Now tell me what's going on or I'll be forced to call Edward over!"
"Fine! Geez Bella! I didn't know vampires were so demanding!"
"I'm waiting?"
"Well, I was just worried that, you know…" He trailed off looking at his massive feet.
"That she'll get hurt?"
He nodded.
"Jacob. Nessie has been playing baseball ever since she was just a little girl! Not once had she gotten hurt except when she runs and trips but then she gets up and runs again! She's a strong girl! She's half vampire for goodness sakes! There is nothing to worry about!"
"She tripped!?! See!"
"You are so overprotective! You don't have to worry about a thing Jake. She'll be perfectly fine. I promise."
He looked over at Nessie who was doing her warm up with Jasper, trying to get her swing right. "You promise?"
I sighed. "Yes."
I looked up at the sky and saw rainclouds rolling by. "I'm thinking the time is almost here."
There was a thunder and we heard the signal. "Guys! It's time!" Alice yelled informing everyone who was now running towards the field.
We had divided into teams. Team 1 consisting of: Edward, Alice, Carlisle, and Rosalie. Team 2 includes: Me, Jasper, Renesmee and Emmett. Esme decided to become the umpire with the help of Jacob because we vampires usually like to cheat.
"Are you ready to get beaten, love?" Edward asked hugging me from behind.
"Oh no. I'm ready to beat you!" I turned around facing him.
"Let's just see about that." A mischievous smile appeared on his face.
"Remember Edward, I've got Renesmee on my team!" I stuck my tongue at him and walked away.
"YES! NESSIE IS ON MY FREAKIN' TEAM!" Emmett screamed as he danced around the field earning another smack from Rosalie.
"Sorry babe! But I'm going to beat your ass!" He said earning another smack from her.
"Oww! What is this? Smack Emmett day? Give me a bat! We are batting first!"
"Why is he so excited about having Nessie on his team?" Jacob asked me.
"Nessie's a beast. You haven't seen her play haven't you?"
"No."
"Well, you're gonna find out soon then!"
"Places everyone!" Esme called.
Alice was pitcher and Emmett was already on his stance, his bat ready to swing. Everyone was ready, quite excited for the game.
Alice was about to throw the ball when she stopped.
"Alice? What's wrong?" Carlisle asked.
We walked towards her in worry. Everyone was circling around her. We were all anxious, worried.
"Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!!" Alice cried.
Everyone stood there, frozen.
Cliffy!!!
Yesh!
I'm done with this chapter!
