Disclaimer: Yeah, I know.. I don't own Twilight or the characters. Only the plot.
I've put up a lot today- four chapters- because I'm having my Finals and I don't think I'd be able to update regularly until it's the 4th. So, Enjoy. And please Review.
Chapter Four
Rensemee Cullen
I kept checking my watch every 2 seconds, anxious; Daddy went to 'talk' to Jake and I didn't think it would be any less violent than the last time Emmett 'talked' to him.
"Nessie, PLEASE! Calm down! Everything will be fine, sweetie, just relax a bit," Jasper said, while sending a wave of calmness through me.
"Thanks, Uncle Jazz, I really needed it," I said, forcing a smile. He nodded.
"Just think about something else, honey, I'm sure nothing will happen," Momma tried to reassure me. I raised an eyebrow.
"Okay, okay, I'm not sure. But I am sure both of them will be fine, I think," her voice broke at the last words; Jake and Daddy were nearly equal in strength, any one of them could get hurt.
"Ness, you're really worried about that mutt? Even after what he did to you tonight?" Emmett asked, genuinely confused.
I grimaced; no one would ever let me forget this. I went to Emmett and touched my hand to his cheek, unable to speak for myself.
I know Uncle Em, I didn't like it any more than you did! – he hugged me tightly and rubbed his hands on my back to soothe me- But Jake is my best friend, I don't know what got into him tonight but I know he wouldn't do anything to hurt me, not intentionally. I really am worried about him. And about Daddy, of course.
At that moment, Daddy walked through the door. I quickly released myself from Emmett's iron grip and ran to jump in Daddy's arms.
He ran his hands through the loose curls of my hair. I kept hugging him for a while, until I remembered what I had to ask him.
"He's fine, Nessie, but you won't be seeing each other for at least two weeks. That was his punishment, honey. You do know that I won't do anything to hurt you, right? I know how you're attached to him but-"
I cut him off, "It's okay, Daddy, really. I don't think I'm ready to see him now either."
Thinking about what happened again, I realized that I really didn't want to see him then. What he did was far beyond what I could imagine. I mean, I really wanted to know his 'explanation' to this whole situation but I had to get over that anger now.
Then another thought hit me, what did I really feel about this? Did I love him the same way he did? What if- I saw Daddy grimace after releasing me from his arms.
"Now, Ness, you have to get some sleep; I have another surprise for you tomorrow," he said, grinning.
"What surprise? I can't wait until tomorrow, Daddy please tell me!" I squealed, using the full power of my puppy eyes –another habit I've inherited from Auntie Alice.
"Don't even try, Nessie, I know for sure that Edward won't change his mind; I still see you see it tomorrow!" Alice said.
Oh fine! But I'll tell Momma to shield me so you won't know my real reaction. I thought, grinning an evil grin.
"We'll see about that- Bella, love, would you please not shield Renesmee's thoughts tomorrow when she sees our little surprise?" he asked in his velvet-voice, trying to 'dazzle' her as he had once said.
This is much stronger than the puppy eyes and the pout! This is so unfair! I have to learn that!
"Of course it is! And, no, I won't teach you that; I have to have at least one advantage," he commented on my thoughts, smiling his crooked-smile at Momma.
And that, too!
He chuckled.
"Sure, Edward, I won't shield her tomorrow," she answered him between giggles.
"You two aren't fighting fair!" I said, frowning.
Everyone cracked at that point. Emmett got by my side.
"I've got your back," he whispered, "Hey, Edward, I'm taking Nessie to the cottage now, you know, to sleep. I'm sure she'd love to be there," he said loud enough for Daddy to hear.
Daddy hissed and everyone started laughing again. I didn't get the joke though.
"I'll make sure you don't understand it, honey, not until you're one-hundred and fifty," Daddy whispered in my ears. I was confused, everybody else laughed though. "Don't even think about saying that, Emmett!" he commented on his thought seriously.
"You were right, Nessie Bear, those two are so not fighting fair!" Emmett whimpered. I giggled.
I said goodnight to everyone and thanked them for the, well, party and headed to my room in the house. One thing for sure, I didn't want to be in the cottage tonight.
I was exhausted, so I slept easily that night.
"Renesmee, sweetie, time to wake up! Unless you don't want to see you surp-"
I cut Momma off, "I'm UP!"
"Someone is excited," Daddy said.
I need to know what exactly the surprise I've been dreaming about all last night is!
"Trust me, it's going to be worth it!" He said, excited, too.
I jumped out of bed and did my morning routine. Two cold hands covered my eyes and I jumped slightly.
"Sorry!" Alice giggled, "But I have to make sure you won't peek!"
She led me outside, Daddy and Momma holding my hands.
"Here you go, honey," Daddy whispered, kissing my cheek.
As Alice removed her hands away from my eyes, my vision caught the least thing expected. There it was, red and shiny. Its seats were black leather which I could smell from where I was.
There was my car!
"Oh. My. God!" I screamed. It's a beauty!
I jumped into Daddy's arms and kissed his cheeks. "Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I LOVE IT!"
Then I hurried to Momma and hugged her tightly that if she was still human, she wouldn't be able to breathe. "This is perfect! I can drive it to school, right?" I asked.
"Of course; you'll go there as a sophomore," she answered.
I grinned.
"You, young lady, forgot about something more important," Daddy said, trying to hide a smile.
What, Daddy? You know Ja- I've been taught how to drive. I thought.
"So you're going to drive without a license just because you can?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"This J. Jenks guy makes all my papers, right? Daddy, I'm not that stupid. I'm legally only six," I answered, feeling smart.
"Told you she'd know!" Momma teased him, smiling.
"Hello! I picked the red!" Alice frowned.
"I should've known!" I smacked my forehead ever-so-gently. "Thank you, Auntie Alice, you always know what to get me" I hugged her.
"Come on, upstairs! You. Me. Change. Shopping. Now!" She beamed; I could swear she loved shopping more than human blood!
Daddy chuckled, "She does," he whispered in my ear. I laughed.
Alice made me wear dark skinny-jeans with a white tank top and red converse shoes. Another thing I love about her, she always dresses comfortable for shopping, not that she needs to.
On our way to the mall in Alice's Porsche, I got to think freely about last night. Did I want that? Did I feel that way about him? But he was my best friend! What if this ended badly? It would ruin our friendship! Besides, I was not ready for this. No, not now, I thought. I thought I'd better wait until those two weeks are over and talk to him; I was sure he had a lot to say.
Alice and Rose kept throwing tops and bottoms at me to try. I loved shopping but those two just took it to an awful extreme.
At the end of the day, Alice's Porsche barely had any space for us to sit.
"I'll run my way home, girls," Momma said. I glared at her. I could swear I heard her mumble "get some peace of mind" or something like that.
Two days later, on Momma's birthday party-which she stopped throwing a fit about a couple of years ago, Daddy announced that both of them are going on a second honeymoon in Isle Esme for a couple of weeks and that they'd be back about ten days before school.
Days went on slowly, I woke up everyday, did my morning routine, watched some TV then Emmett would take over the whole living room, went to read a couple of classics or surfed the net then Momma or Daddy would text me Goodnight and I would go sleep. Until one day I decided that I'd had enough, and waiting for two weeks would just make me more anxious. I waited until Alice and Jasper went hunting; I knew she wouldn't have her cell phone on hunting trips, and then I sneaked out from my bedroom's window and drove my Nissan.
