Sorry guys had to do a quick correction! =D
"Lunch time!" Esme called from the porch. I didn't realize we were all standing in the same spot still. Everyone except Alyssa and Rosalie.
"Go eat." I said softly as I patted Renesmee's back. She was still in Edwards arms crying.
"Not hungry." She mumbled into his shirt.
"You have to eat." I told her.
"No I don't!" Renesmee snapped at me.
"Edward." I threw my hands in the air and walked away from them.
"She mad at me?" I heard Renesmee ask him.
"She's… well… Uh, she's upset."
"Why?" Renesmee asked.
"Because Jacob is her best friend, and she cares about both of you. Your not making this any easier on her."
I heard Renesmee sigh. "I'll go apologize to her."
"Thank you." Edward sighed.
I picked up my pace to make it seem like I wasn't listening.
"Wait, mommy!" I heard her running up behind me.
"Eat lunch, and then we'll talk."
"But I don't…" I spun around and glared at her. "Ok fine." She said quickly.
I put my arm around her and lead her up the stairs. "Thank you."
"But I'm not going to like it." She mumbled beside me.
"Oh yes you will. Esme made it for you girls."
"Why didn't you say so!" Renesmee took off running towards the kitchen.
"Unbelievable." I shook my head.
"I used to say the same thing about you, actually, I still do." Edward laughed behind me. "I cant wait to deal with another human teenage you." Edward rolled his eyes.
"Half human." I pointed out.
"Like that makes it any easier."
"So he's really not coming back?" Rosalie asked, a little too excitedly. All of us were sitting in the living room while Alyssa and Renesmee ate their lunch.
"He wasn't thinking about it." Edward held me close.
I reached over and laid my hand on Alice's leg. "He will come here if he wants to see her. I know he will." I told her.
"Hopefully he wont have to. If your going to visit as often as you said you would, I don't see a reason for him to have to beg us to get you back here to visit." She answered me.
I nodded. "We will. You of all people would see if I wasn't planning on it." I leaned against Edward to fully face Alice. "Tell everyone what you see."
Alice smiled widely before pulling me into a tight hug. "You will! Exactly one month after you leave, and you'll stay for 2 weeks. Then you'll make sure Renesmee comes to visit Charlie for the holidays."
"See," I pointed out. "I always had full intentions to bring her back to visit."
"Ok, ok I believe you." Alice let me go, and Edwards arms replaced hers.
"I love you." He whispered into my ear. I smiled and settled into his arms.
"Will you have Leah or Seth get a hold of Jacob before we come back to visit, so he can see her." I asked Alice.
"Of course."
Later that night Edward, Alice, Rosalie, Emmett, and Jasper were playing poker on the living room floor. Esme had put herself in charge of chaperoning the game. Alyssa wasn't feeling well, so Rosalie put her to bed early. I sat on the edge of Renesmee's bed waiting for her to change into her pajamas. She dragged her feet across the carper as she walked out of her closet.
"Story time?" She asked after she climbed into bed.
"No, time to talk." I told her. I moved myself next to her. Leaning against her headboard, she tucked herself under my arm and leaned into my side.
"I had a feeling it was that time." She looked up at me through her eyelashes and smiled innocently.
I couldn't help but smile back at her. "I know you miss Jacob, so do I, but we have to be a family."
"I know." Renesmee took a deep breath. "I don't know why I miss him so much. I guess it's because he's like my big brother. I cant help but feel like part of me is being left behind with him."
"Part of you is, as well as part of me. It's not just because of Jacob. You have family here too. Real family. Grandpa Swan, Grandma Esme, Grandpa Carlisle, Your aunts and your uncles."
"I'll miss them too, but… I don't know." Renesmee blinked.
I knew why it was so hard for her to leave Jacob, but there was no way I was going to explain imprinting to her. Not yet.
"Give it time. Things will work out." I kissed the top of her head.
"Can Alyssa and Claire come visit during the summer?" Renesmee looked up at me.
"I don't see why not."
We were silent for a few seconds until Renesmee broke the silence. She reached up and touched my neck. Visions of what she thought Isle Esme looked like flashed through my mind. She wanted to know what my Island looked like.
"Well…" I started and she settled into my side closing her eyes. Her hand stayed on my neck. "It's very quiet, and all the open space you could ever want for you to run around in. Wild flowers cover the entire Island. The water on the beach is crystal clear and always warm, so you can swim all year long. Our house is a replica of our cottage here, but a little bigger." Visions filled my head of what she pictured everything looked like from my descriptions. "Yes, but the beach wraps around the whole Island. We have to get around by boat if we want to go anywhere off the Island." More visions flashed, but this time she added the three of us in the scene. We were walking down the beach, Renesmee between Edward and I. She was holding both our hands. A family. I leaned forward realizing she was dreaming. "That's exactly what I have been trying to get you to realize." I whispered.
She curled herself into me more. I slid down so I was laying next to her. Very carefully, I lifted her hand and held it to my face. Immediately I was overpowered by her dreams. More visions of the three of us on my Island. Our home. We were doing everything together, she saw us hunting together, playing in the water, teaching her how to play chess. I couldn't help but giggle at that. She also showed her and I sitting on a patio, books sprawled out all over the table. My medical books, and her school books. Edward would walk from me to her, obvious he was helping both of us with our schooling. I smiled widely.
"So, what's our little girl dreaming about?" Edward walked over and knelt beside me. He draped his arm over both Renesmee and I.
"Us as a family. We were talking about moving, and she wanted me to tell her about the Island."
"She's happy." Edward tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.
"So am I." I smiled down at him.
"That's all that matters." He leaned over me and kissed Renesmee's forehead and both her cheeks. He took my hand and I let him lead me out of her room. I looked back at our bedroom door when Edward pulled me passed it.
"Now, I know you didn't forget where our room was." I said confused.
"I know. We're not going to our room." Edward pulled me towards the door.
"Have a good night." Alice called after us. I looked back at her and she winked at me.
"Mind telling me where we're going?" I asked once we were outside.
"Get on." He turned his back on me and lifted my hand, resting it on his shoulder.
"Er, did you forget I can run just as fast as you, if not faster." I reminded him.
"I know, but get on." Edward reached behind him and pulled me against his back.
I stepped back. "Edward, what are you-"
"Isabella could you please, just this once, do as I ask without being belligerent?"
"Fine." I huffed.
He lifted me onto his back. "Now close your eyes. I know you'll be able to sense where we are, but just humor me."
"Why-"
"Bella!"
"Ok!" I closed my eyes.
"Don't peek." Edward warned me.
"I wont." I opened one of my eyes as soon as he started running. He stopped short, and I snapped my eye shut. "I didn't open my eyes!" I wasn't lying, I didn't open my eyes. I opened one eye.
"Pull back your shield."
"What? Why?"
"So I know if your cheating or not."
I opened my mouth to protest, but snapped it shut. I pulled back my shield as he asked.
There, happy now?
"Yes, thank you. Now shut your eyes."
This was stupid why couldn't he just tell me where…
"Because it's a surprise. Your wasting time."
I sighed loudly, but shut my eyes.
"Ok, open those beautiful eyes." Edward said as he placed me on the ground. He took my hand.
I opened my eyes and smiled. "Our meadow!" I haven't seen it since I was turned. It looked even more beautiful than it did through my weak human eyes. "It's beautiful!"
"Can you please stop comparing things as beautiful when your around. It offends me." Edward wrapped his arms around me. "How does that offend you? And I wasn't comparing it to anything. I just said it was beautiful."
"When I have my wife standing by my side and she says something is remotely close to beautiful, She's putting herself down. That offends me. Nothing, and I mean nothing that is surrounding my wife can be classified as anything more than beautiful. Compared to you there is nothing in this world I would rather be looking at. No other beauty is worth comparing itself to you."
I closed my eyes again and opened them, gasping. "Edward! It's our meadow. It's… nice"
"That's more like it." He leaned in and kissed my neck. He pulled at my arm and we both fell to the ground. I curled myself into his side, resting my head on his chest. "Do you remember the last time we were here?"
"I think it was when I decided to marry you."
"That's right Mrs. Cullen. We were laying in this exact spot and you made up your mind. You asked for your ring, and I placed it on your finger." Edward lifted my left hand and kissed my ring finger. "Then we were on our way to tell your father we were engaged."
The memories were fuzzy, but I could make them out. "Oh yeah, and he thought I was pregnant." I laughed at the dull memory.
"Little did he know…"
I corrected him, "Little did anyone know."
We both laughed.
"This is where it all started." Edward held me close.
"No." I leaned on my elbow to look at his face. "It all started as soon as I saw you in the cafeteria my first day of school." I paused for a moment. "Well that's when it started for me anyway." I smirked at him.
Edward closed his eyes. "You have no idea how much I wanted to kill you. I was willing to kill everyone in our biology class just so I can drink your blood." Edward leaned up and rolled on top of me. He traced the spot on my neck where my blood used to run freely before bending his head down and nipping at the same spot.
I giggled. "I'm glad you didn't kill me."
Edward stretched his neck to whisper into my ear, "So am I." and moved his head back down to my neck.
"I never, not in my wildest dreams, did I ever think we would be here today. Married, both immortal, having a very special little girl, and being through everything we went through. It almost seems like I'm living someone else's life. I never thought I would be lucky enough to fall in love, get married, and have a baby."
"Well, not many girls would want to do it in the way you did." Edward pointed out.
"Since you know how I am as a vampire, if you knew I would be like this back when I wanted to be changed before the newborn fight, would you have changed me?"
Edward thought for a few seconds. Kissed my lips and shook his head. "No."
"Why?" I couldn't help but sound annoyed.
"Because if I knew how you would be, than I would know you would have Renesmee, and I cant picture my life without her."
"Says the guy who thought she was some untamable monster growing inside of me." Edwards eyes dropped to his hands. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to resurface those memories."
"It's alright. I will regret all those feelings for the rest of my existence."
I laid back pulling Edward back on top of me. "And you were trying to get Jacob to give me chi-" Before I could finish Edwards lips met mine hungrily. I suddenly forgot what it was I wanted to tell him.
