It was late when we got the phone call. Esme answered with Rosalie and I right behind her. "I'm so sorry for your loss. Yes I will be right there. No, thank you." Esme hung up the phone and looked back to us. "It was time." She said squeezing my and Rosalie's shoulders, and walked into the living room to tell everyone else the news. "Alyssa's grandmother has passed on. I've been asked to go pick up Alyssa for the night."
Since paperwork was signed, Esme and Carlisle were granted permission from her grandmother to be the next of kin when she passes. "Can I go?" Rosalie asked beaming with excitement. She tried hiding it under the circumstances, but she wasn't doing a good job at it. Esme nodded, and Rosalie kissed Emmett goodbye, and raced after her.
A Few hours Esme walked in holding Alyssa. Her eyes were bloodshot from crying, and she looked exhausted. "Rose, you mind putting her to bed? I have to call the agency." Rosalie smiled, and held her arms out. Alyssa reached for her, and she cradled her in her arms.
"Everything's going to be ok. I promise." Rosalie whispered to Alyssa. I followed them upstairs to check on Renesmee. We already explained to her what was going to happen with Alyssa. Rosalie laid her in the bed, and tucked her in. "I'm sorry about your grandma, sweetie." Rosalie moved a stray hair from Alyssa's face.
"Is she in heaven with my mommy and daddy?"
I clenched my teeth together, and took a step back.
"Yes, they're all together now, and looking over you." Rosalie said warmly. Alyssa smiled, and curled up, closing her eyes.
"We'll talk to her in the morning." I whispered taking Rosalie's hand.
"I cant believe she's going to be mine. This is all I've ever wanted, but Bella, what if she doesn't want me? She's going to grow up, and soon look older than me. Will she still listen to me when she's 21, and I'm still 18? Bella, what am I getting myself into?" Rosalie began to panic.
I pulled her out of the room before she woke up either of the girls. "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. She's only 6 right now, so relax."
The next morning I heard Renesmee wake up, and immediately started talking to Alyssa. I heard Alyssa explain about her grandma, and Renesmee comforted her. I let them go for a little while before walking into the room. We were now in Summer vacation, so I wasn't in a rush to get them up. "Good morning ladies." I smiled when I walked into the room.
"Morning!" Both said cheerfully.
"Alyssa, how do you feel?" I asked her, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear.
"Ok, but do I have to go to her funeral?"
"Yes, but you don't have to go in to see her if you don't want to. Esme and Rosalie are going to go with you."
"Can I go?" Renesmee asked.
"No sweetie. It's not a place for kids." Renesmee pouted, but I was happy she didn't argue with me for once.
I walked over to the closet, and pulled out one of Renesmee's black dresses, stockings, and shoes.
"I'll help her." Esme said walking into the room. "We need to talk anyway." I knew what they had to talk about, so I picked up Renesmee, and walked out of the room.
"Let me guess, something else I cant know about." Renesmee said rolling her eyes.
"You'll find out in a few minutes." I smiled shaking my head.
"We're going to be sisters!" Alyssa cheered as she ran down the stairs.
"What?!" Renesmee spit out her cereal all over the table.
"Your mom's adopting me! I don't have to live with a scary foster family! I get to stay here!" Renesmee quickly glanced at me, and I shook my head quickly, pointing to Esme walking into the room. I'll explain the rest to her later. Renesmee looked at Esme, and leaped off her chair. Both girls started jumping around the room screaming with delight.
"Is there a party that I didn't know about?" Emmett asked walking into the kitchen.
"Alyssa is our new sister!" Renesmee cheered.
"Is that so, well welcome to the family kiddo." Emmett held out his hand, and Alyssa slapped him a high five.
Later that night I sat with Renesmee packing clothes for her and Alyssa. "I cant wait to have Alyssa meet everyone! You think Jakey with like her?"
"Yes, everyone will like her." I smiled up at my daughter. "You sure your ok with all this?" I asked sitting on the bed next to her.
"I'm 100% ok! I finally have someone my age to play with."
"But we have to move again. Grandma didn't adopt her. It's going to be Aunt Rose and Uncle Emmett. So Alyssa is sort of like your cousin."
"I don't care, we're related now!" Renesmee hugged me, and leaped off her bed. She stopped at the door, and turned to look at me. "Why didn't you adopt her? Then we would be sisters."
I laughed, "Because I can only handle one of you." Renesmee laughed with me, and continued to walk out the door.
"Are we ready to go?" Esme asked loading suitcases in Rosalie's new Escalade that Emmett bought her. Edward and I packed his Volvo, and we were off to Forks. I was excited to see everyone, and the bouncing little girl in the backseat was too.
We pulled into the long driveway of our house, and Renesmee jumped out before Edward had the car in park. Alyssa followed her from Rosalie's SUV. Both of them raced around the driveway. "Lets go in the back yard!" Alyssa ran towards the back gate.
"NO!" Renesmee screamed. She turned and ran into Edwards arms, burying her face into his neck.
"Alyssa why don't you girls play inside." Edward said rubbing Renesmee's back. "Your safe. Just relax." He coaxed her, and she wiggled for him to put her down. She looked over her shoulders as she ran the open space between Edward and Alyssa. A bird squawked loudly over out heads, and Renesmee screamed running faster. Jasper was closet to her, so she latched onto his leg. This was Renesmee's first time back to the house since she was taken, so we all expected her to be nervous.
"What's wrong?" Alyssa asked laughing. "It's only a bird."
"She had something scary happen the last time she was here, but she'll be ok." Rosalie took Alyssa's hand and lead her into the house.
Jasper picked Renesmee up, and I immediately saw her body relax. Jasper looked at me and I mouthed thank you to him.
"Can we go see everyone now?" Renesmee asked as she followed me around the house. I stopped walking again, and she walked into me. "Sorry." she laughed.
"You don't need to follow everyone around the house. Nothings going to happen to you. Damian is gone remember?" I said kneeling down in front of her.
"Can we go?" he asked again ignoring me.
I sighed, "Yes."
"Alyssa come on!" Renesmee called over her shoulder.
I put the 2 girls in the back seat of Edwards Volvo, and we headed down to La Push. I pulled into Jacob's driveway, and he was pacing anxiously.
"Bella!" He called out running towards the car. He pulled me out hugging me. I heard Alyssa and Renesmee laughing in the back seat.
"Where's my favorite little girl!" Jacob said as Renesmee swung her door open.
"Jakey, Jakey, JAKEY!" She sang as she leaped into his arms. Alyssa shyly moved to my side. We both watched Jacob and Renesmee jump around with excitement.
"I missed you squirt!"
"I missed you too!" She yelled clasping onto his neck.
"Hey, who's this?" Jacob asked when he realized people were standing around him. He walked over to us, and knelt in front of Alyssa.
"This is Alyssa. She's Esme and Carlisle's newest addition." Jacob shot me a confused look.
"I'll explain later." I said, and he looked back down at her.
"Hi, I'm Jacob."
"Alyssa." She said shyly hiding behind my leg.
"Seth's inside-" Jacob stopped when he saw Seth wide eyed at the foot of the front steps. "Seth's outside." Jacob corrected himself.
"Hi Seth!" Renesmee jumped off Jacob's back, and ran over to Seth. He picked her up, but never took his eyes off of Alyssa.
"NO!" I gasped pushing Alyssa fully behind me. "Seth, don't!" I pleaded, but knew it was a lost cause. I knew Rosalie was never going to go for this.
"Hey, Bella." Seth's voice was shaky as he walked over to me. His eyes looking though me.
I looked down and Alyssa was peeking around my leg.
"Great, just freaking great." I moved Alyssa so she was standing in front of me.
"Alyssa this is Seth. Seth, Alyssa." I turned towards Jacob, "I'm going to see Charlie. Can you keep an eye on them?" He nodded still watching Seth.
As soon as I got in the car I flipped my cell phone open and called Edward. "We have a problem!" I yelled into the phone as soon as I heard Edward pick up.
"Nessie?"
"No, she's fine, but I took her to go see Jacob, and Seth was there. I think it was his turn to imprint."
"Seth imprinted on Renesmee?"
"No! Stay with me Edward. I had another girl with me, remember?" I heard Rosalie growl, and the phone rustled.
"He didn't!" She yelled into the phone.
"It's not something they can control, Rose."
"Is she with you now?"
"No, I left her with Jacob and Seth. I didn't feel like explaining Charlie to her right now. Although things might be easier to explain to her now."
"I cant believe this! Why do those stupid dogs have to ruin everything!?"
"Just relax. It's not that bad. Plus it's not like we are living here. She'll still grow up making her own decisions just like Ness."
"Fine." Rosalie huffed and hung up the phone.
I was in Charlie and Sue's driveway, and Leah came storming out of the house. "What's wrong?" I asked her.
"My brother IMPRINTED! I'm older than him, and he imprinted before me!"
"News sure does travel fast."
She glared at me. "He just called, wait you knew already?"
"Guilty… I kind of brought her to him. I didn't know, obviously." I told her the story, and she stomped back in the house.
"Hey there!" Charlie greeted me, and looked behind me. "Where's my granddaughter?"
"She's playing with Jake." Once again I sat down and explained Alyssa to him, and the fact that I couldn't take Renesmee to see him when Alyssa thought we didn't have any family alive.
"How's the wedding planning going?" I asked Sue when she walking into the living room.
"Coming along very well. How do you feel about a wine color for the dresses?" She asked me as she eyed my body. "You might be too pale, but I think it will look amazing on you girls. I was going to go for a Champaign color, but that's way too light for your complexion. You'd look like a ghost." we both laughed.
"Wine sounds pretty. What's the dress look like?"
"Oh, I have a picture! Come on!" Sue took my hand and lead me to her room. She reached under her bed, and pulled out a portfolio. She laid it out on the bed, and handed me a picture. The dress was beautiful. It was a long, tight fitted dress. The whole back was exposed with just 2 straps crisscrossing in the middle.
"Wow, Sue. It's really pretty." It looked a little too sexy for a wedding, but I liked it anyway. She showed me Renesmee's dress, and then showed me hers.
We walked back into the living room and I sat down next to Charlie. "How's Sam and Emily?"
"Oh, she's getting big! Not much longer. She's due in a few weeks. We're all so excited. This is the first baby on the reservation in years." Sue gleamed with excitement.
I realized the time, and had to go pick up Renesmee and Alyssa. "I'll being her by later." I told Charlie as I kissed him good bye. I yelled bye to Leah, but she didn't answer me.
When I got back to Jacobs the 4 of them were playing tag. I watched Seth, and he seemed older to me all of a sudden. The way he looked at Alyssa was protective, and caring. It was the same way Jacob looked at Renesmee. It was weird, but I liked having them looked after the way they were. I knew if they chose this path when they got older that they would be safe, and loved.
