I had some time this morning, so here you go!
"When do you think we should explain things to you-know-who?" Emmett asked Carlisle. We were sitting around the backyard of the house. Alyssa and Renesmee sat in the middle of our circle of chairs playing with their dolls.
"When she's old enough to understand." Esme answered before Carlisle could.
"I think she will understand the basics now. She should know the story before we move."
"She's still a little young to understand the secrecy of us." Carlisle said.
"Are you talking about me?" Renesmee asked putting down her doll, and walked over to Carlisle.
"Of course not. Your too smart for us to talk about you, in front of you. That's why we do it behind your back." Emmett laughed, and Rosalie punched his arm. Alyssa laughed, and Emmett smirked at her.
"Your funny!" She smiled, and stood up.
"Oh yeah?" He leaned forward and took her in his arms. Alyssa laughed and screamed as Emmett tickled her.
Renesmee climbed onto Esme's lap, and laughed as she watched Emmett and Alyssa. I caught a glimpse of Rosalie watching Emmett. She had a sparkle in her eye I never thought were possible. She met my gaze, and smiled widely.
"Can Claire sleep over tonight? I haven't seen her yet." Renesmee asked me. She was now standing behind Esme playing with her hair.
"Why are you asking your sister?" Alyssa asked. Her voice broke from Emmett bouncing her around on his knees.
"Cuz she's my mom, and Edwards my dad." All of us gasped, and Renesmee shrugged, "What? She's part of the family now… Oh you were talking about her before! I get it!"
"You're a swift one." Emmett said rolling his eyes, and I glared at him.
"She's your mom? But, I thought you were adopted."
"Grandpa." Renesmee eyed him for help.
"He's your what?! I'm so confused." Alyssa looked at all of us.
"Come here sweetie." Carlisle sighed, and Alyssa slid off Emmett's lap. She sat at his feet waiting for him to tell her the story. Renesmee sat on the ground waiting also.
"I come from a line of very bad… people, but I decided I wanted to be good. I decided to become a doctor and help sick and injured people. One day a very long time ago I came across Edward who was dying because he was so sick. I decided to save him, and make him strong and healthy like me. We have to keep who we are a secret because the type of people we are don't age, and we don't eat food like you."
"What do you eat?" Alyssa asked swallowing hard.
"The blood of animals. Now some of our kind are meaner, but I will explain that when your older." Carlisle paused waiting for a reaction from Alyssa telling him to stop, but she leaned forward along with Renesmee. Both of them eager to find out what happens next. "Well the next person I saved was my wife, Esme. Together we started our own family, a good one. Now who we are makes us not able to have kids, so that's what all of these bozos are sitting around you. They're our kids. Rosalie came next followed by Emmett, then Alice and Jasper, and the youngest is Bella." Carlisle paused again as the 2 girls turned to look at all our faces. They turned back to Carlisle when he started speaking again. "Now I have a very strict rule that I will not change anyone to be like me unless they're dying."
"Wait, you said you cant have kids." Alyssa pointed out, and Edward grabbed my hand. "Isn't Nessie, Bella and Edwards daughter?"
"That's correct. Bella was a normal person when her and Edward got married. She had Renesmee before she was changed."
"Was she dying? You said you wont change someone unless they're dying."
I squeezed Edwards hand hard, and he forced me to let go. He flexed his fingers, and patted my knee. Carlisle stopped talking not realizing Alyssa was going to pick up on everything he said. She was understanding the story better than we thought she would.
"Mommy?" Renesmee turned to look at me. Her bottom lip quivering, and tears filled her eyes. I tried to talk, but nothing came out.
"Renesmee is half normal, and half like us. When she was ready to be born it was too much for Bella's normal human body to handle. As soon as Renesmee was safely out she had to be changed in order to save her life." Carlisle said cautiously as he watched Renesmee frozen on her feet staring at me.
"Me?" She whispered pointing to herself. The tears streaming down her cheeks.
I flew off the chair and pulled her into my arms. "Your one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Don't you ever think differently."
"I hurt you! I'm a monster!" Renesmee pushed away from me, and ran into the house.
"I'm so sorry Bella." Carlisle stood reaching out to me.
"She had to know sooner or later." I smiled at him reassuringly, and turned to run inside. Edward followed at my heels.
We paused at her door, and I heard her crying as she moved around her room. I looked up at Edward when a zipper was zipped shut. Edward reached in front of me and opened the door. Renesmee looked up at us, and wiped her eyes before pulling her book bag on.
"What are you doing?" I asked walking over to her.
"I'm going to go away, so I never hurt you again."
I took her book bag off, and sat on the floor pulling her onto my lap.
"I fell in love with you the moment I felt you move in my belly. You were my only reason to keep living. Daddy was supposed to change me on his own, but when I found out I was pregnant for you, well I wanted nothing more than to hold you in my arms. Yes you were hard to carry, but only because you were so strong, and my human body wasn't meant to carry someone as special as you are. If I had to, I would do it all over again for you. You are our miracle that was given to us, and we would never give you up for the world."
"So you wanted me? I wasn't a mistake?"
"We didn't know about you, but when I found out I was pregnant you became my number one propriety. I did everything in my power to make sure you were safe."
"You still want to run away?" Edward spoke for the first time. "I think if you do you will upset mommy very much."
Renesmee looked at me, and threw her arms around my neck. "I'll stay." She whispered into shirt.
"How are we doing up here?" Carlisle asked peeking into the room.
"All better." Renesmee smiled up at him.
"That's good because Claire is here waiting for you. She's outside with Alyssa." Renesmee smiled widely, and got off my lap.
"How's Alyssa?" Edward asked as soon as Renesmee was out of the room.
"She took it all very well. She knows she's not supposed to tell anyone our secrets, and she knows that Rosalie and Emmett are her adopted parents. I explained to her when we move, what we have to tell everyone, and she understands that too." Carlisle sighed, "She's a smart little one." We followed him out of the room, and downstairs to the rest of the family.
Quil, Jacob, and now Seth were outside running around with the girls, and Emmett and Jasper. I sat down between Esme and Alice. Rosalie was walking around taking pictures.
"Where are you moving to now?" Seth asked when they sat down for dinner. Esme called and invited Charlie, Sue and Leah for dinner. We already explained everything to Alyssa, so it was easy to tell her who they were to me.
"We don't know yet." Edward answered him.
"Why don't you guys stay around here? You can move close to La Push, and the girls can go to school on the reservation. Claire just started school there." I laughed at Seth's eagerness, and Rosalie punched my arm.
"Hey, I usually get Jacob bugging me. It's nice to have a break." I laughed rubbing my arm.
Rosalie just glared at me.
"Ok, I'll shut up now." I bit my bottom lip to stop from laughing.
"You know, that's not a bad idea. I do like the hospital in Seattle. I could stay there while we stay around here. You kids can start off right where we left off. No one from Forks is going to know weather your in school in another town or not, and if you see them on the street you simply stick to your 'we're visiting from college' stories." Carlisle thought for a minute, and nodded. "Perfect."
"We're staying around here?" Renesmee asked excitedly. She was sitting on Charlie's lap, and they were sharing a plate of macaroni salad.
"Looks that way." Esme smiled patting her knee.
"Don't you have to be part of tribe in order to go to school there?" I asked looking at Alyssa and Renesmee.
"Not necessarily." Quil shrugged.
"I like it!" Alyssa chimed in.
"Me too!" Renesmee clapped her hands.
"So do I!" Claire agreed.
"The jury has spoken." Carlisle said, and we all laughed.
