I'm in Florida, and getting nicely tanned LOL! As I promised here's the next chapter! I will try and have another one written in the next few days. I'm off to Universal Studios tomorrow till Saturday, so I dont know how much I will be able to write. No matter what I will have an update by Sunday.
The sun began to rise all too soon. I curled myself into Edward as I watched the colors streak across the sky.
"You ok?" He asked, holding me closer to him.
"Yeah." I sighed.
"Mommy! Daddy!" Renesmee's voice echoed down the hallway.
"It's 5am what's she doing up?" I asked as I jumped out of bed. I grabbed Edwards t-shirt and pulled it on as I ran out of the bedroom.
"What's wrong?" I asked, swinging her bedroom door open.
"Just making sure you were still here." She whimpered as Jacob wiped her tears away.
"She had a bad dream, and insisted on making sure the both of you were here safe and sound." Jacob said looking up at me. His eyes went wide as he saw my outfit. His eyes dropped immediately and stayed on Renesmee's face.
Edward chuckled as he walked into the room behind me. I figured it was about Jacob's embarrassment with my outfit, or lack there of.
I walked over and kissed her forehead. "We're all perfectly safe. Go back to sleep."
"Daddy, sing me to sleep."
Edward knelt by her side, swiped a curl from her face, and kissed her cheek. While he was bent over her she locked her arms around his neck, resting her head back on her pillow. He moved his lips to her ear, and began humming her lullaby softly.
Jacob stood up, and pulled me out of the room. I shut the door behind me letting her to go sleep.
"Thanks for staying last night." I said as Jacob and I walked down the hallway.
He followed me back into my room. "Thanks for letting me stay. I didn't think I was ever allowed to be in the same room with her till she was at least 150." Jacob snorted.
"Give or take a few years, but you got the point." I winked at him as I walked into the closet. I closed the door as I changed into my own clothes.
"Seriously?" Jacob asked. I heard him lean against the wall next to the closet door.
I walked out of the closet and looked at him. "Dare to try me?"
Jacob laughed and shook his head. "If it's one thing I learned with you, it's never to mess with the mom."
I laughed, "You got it." I punched his arm hard enough where he bit his bottom lip to hold back the emotion.
"She's… sleeping." Edward stopped short when he saw me now dressed with Jacob in the room.
He stared at Jacob, obvious that he was trying to read his mind.
"I was thinking…" Edward crossed the room quickly, pulling me into his arms.
"About?" I asked, tracing the crease in his forehead with my finger.
"I'm outta here." Jacob said as he rushed out of the room.
Both of us not paying attention to him.
"The three of us go away for a while. After Charlie and Sue get married of course. We have a few days to go, so I figured we get away from here."
I looked for any kind of meaning behind the idea, but Edward had his poker face on.
"Why? Where? How long?" I asked.
"Because there's too much danger between you and Nessie being taken from me here. Your Island, and however long you ladies want to stay."
"What about school?"
"I think between you and I we can teach her what she wants to know till she goes back." Edward read my thoughts, well one thought- Jacob. "He will have to deal with it for a while. We're a family- you, me, and our daughter. There is nothing legal that says he's a part of our family. No DNA proving so either. There is nothing proving that she belongs to him either. She's half of you, and half of me. No part of her belongs to him."
"Her heart does." I whispered looking down at my hands.
"Not yet it doesn't." He said sternly.
I sighed and he smiled. Fine, but under one condition. I thought smirking at him.
"You name it, you got it." He said softly as he kissed me.
"I start college. I can begin with online classes, but when we come back, I want to go to college." I watched Edwards face turn from relaxed to curiosity.
"Why the change of heart? I thought you didn't want to go to college."
"Because I thought I was going to be a crazed newborn, and kill my classmates."
"That's not the whole reason." Edward pressed on. "What do you want to take?"
"Well…" I began pulling Edward towards the bed, and sat him down. "I was watching Carlisle last night with Ness, and… I was thinking of becoming a Pediatrician, or go into Emergency medicine like Carlisle."
Edward opened his mouth to speak, but snapped it shut. He smiled widely just as our bedroom door flew open.
"I've always wanted one of my kids to follow in my footsteps!" Carlisle said pulling me into a tight hug. "Anything you need to know just ask. I have so many books you can read, maybe we can start our own-"
"Whoa, Carlisle… not even enrolled in college yet." I laughed still pressed against him.
"Right, one step at a time." He said loosening his grip on me. Carlisle hugged me once more before dashing out of the room. "Esme!" He called out as he ran downstairs.
I took Edwards hand, and we walked downstairs.
A few hours later, after the excitement went down from my overly proud family the phone rang, and we all immediately looked at Edward.
"Emily, Claire wants Ness and Alyssa to come over." He answered all of us.
I shook my head. "Renesmee, no… as for Alyssa it's up to Emmett and Rose." I said watching Emmett go to answer the phone. Rosalie nodded to him after Emily had asked him if Alyssa wanted to go play.
"Lyss, honey come here!" Emmett called, and we heard little footsteps running out of Renesmee's room.
"What Dad? We're watching a movie." Alyssa huffed as she jumped off the last step and ran over to Emmett.
"Ok, fine. Then I wont ask you if you want to go to Emily's and play with Claire."
"YES, YES, YES!" Alyssa jumped around him. "Is Seth going to be there?" She asked.
Rosalie rolled her eyes along with Emmett.
He didn't answer her question, and she didn't seem to mind.
"One of us will drop her off soon." Emmett paused as Emily spoke. "I will be sure to pass it on, thank you." Emmett hung up the phone. "Emily says she hopes Nessie feels better, and she asked how you were feeling." He said looking at me.
"I'll drop her off. I want to see how she is."
"Sam is still running patrol with Leah right now, so I think he will appreciate you keeping an eye on her. Leah will be there soon, Seth and Paul are sitting there with her now. I'm sure she'd be happy to have another girl sitting with her." Jacob said.
Edward smiled at me. "Especially one who can understand how it feels to be pregnant."
"I wasn't pregnant nearly as long as she is." I added, winking at him.
Alyssa ran upstairs to go get ready, and we heard Renesmee whine.
"I want to go!"
"You cant even move out of bed!" Alyssa said as she moved around Renesmee's room.
"Stupid cliff, stupid fall, dumb ass witch!" Edward growled and looked at Emmett.
"I did not teach her that word. She must have picked it out on her own. I'm not the only one that swears around here."
"Let it go, she's been through a lot." I said rolling my eyes.
Edward settled back into the couch, and took my arm running his fingers up and down it.
"I wonder what it would taste like to a vampire if you washed their mouth out with soap." I said thinking back to when I was younger.
"Why do you want to know?" Edward asked.
I laughed once. "When I was around Nessie's age I went through a stage where I swore all the time. I heard my mom swear, and when I went to visit my dad he swore too. I thought it was normal, and got my mouth washed out with soap plenty of times. Didn't taste too good as a human. I was just thinking what it would taste like to Ness if we ever had to do that with her."
Emmett laughed along with Alice and Jasper.
"Shoving soap down your child's mouth… that's not a form of abuse?" Emmett said.
"No, it's like washing the filth out of their mouths. At least when I was younger it wasn't abuse."
"Naw, still not. Sue threatens Seth all the time with that because that boy comes up with words I've never heard before."
"I'm ready!" Alyssa said running down the stairs. Rosalie followed close behind her, her arms stretched out in front of her to catch Alyssa if she tripped as she skipped every other step on the way down.
"Aunt Bella is going to take you, and hang out with Emily." Rosalie said as she kissed her cheek. "Have fun, and I'll see you when you get home."
"Ok, love you mommy!"
"Love you too sweetie."
Alyssa ran into Emmett's waiting arms and he kissed her goodbye.
I kissed Edward, and heard Renesmee crying upstairs. "I'll take care of it, go on." Edward sighed. "Jasper, Jacob please escort Bella."
"Edward, I don't see anything-" Edward put a hand up to stop Alice.
"Jacob, Jasper." His voice stern.
"We're on it." Jacob said as he followed me out the door.
Jasper and Jacob both had a hand on my shoulders as Alyssa held Jacob's free hand. Both Jasper and Jacob's eyes darted everywhere as we walked towards the garage.
