YAY it's working again! I've been trying to upload this chapter all weekend! I know it's been a few days but it wasn't my fault lol. Enjoy the chapter, I'll have the next one up as soon as I'm done writing it.
Our last flight into the States was the longest. I sat in the aisle seat next to Edward. Once we took off, I leaned on the armrest talking to Alice while Jasper and Edward leaned across both of our laps to talk. "I have an idea." Alice stood up. I turned to look at Edward when he stood up also. "Where are you going?" I asked him, refusing to move aside so he can pass me.
"Switching seats with Alice." Edward stood in front of me and leaned down to kiss me.
I laughed, embarrassed. "Oh, ok." As soon as Edward was out of my way I moved into his old seat so Alice didn't have to climb over me. Just as we got re-settled. The flight attendant started serving the first class passengers. Carlisle and Esme were sitting in front of us.
"The 2 next to us and 4 behind us are fine, thank you." Carlisle said politely.
"Sure, no problem." She answered him, and walked passed smiling at all of us. Letting her smile linger a little too long over in Jasper and Edwards seats. I wonder how long it would take me to-
"Bella!" Alice hissed so low only I could hear her.
"What?" I hissed back. "I wasn't really going to do anything."
"No, but you were definitely weighing your options." She chuckled.
"Look at her!" I pointed to the flight attendant now serving the people behind us. She had her head turned as far as it could go looking from Edward to Jasper. I glanced quickly at Edward. They were talking lowly, and by the smirk on Edwards face he was telling Jasper what she was thinking. "If she likes looking behind her, I can permanently fix that for her."
Alice laughed, "Your staying right where you are."
"It was just a thought." I shrugged, and leaned back in my seat.
"I don't see visions of thoughts Bella." Alice shook her head.
"It doesn't bother you?" I asked looking at the woman glancing over her shoulder once more.
"No." Alice said confidently. "She's just a measly human, and I know Jasper only has eyes for me. We've been together too long to be jealous over some human checking us out." I looked at her blankly. "You and Edward are still new to the whole relationship slash marriage thing."
"I know he wont leave me, especially for something like…" I looked behind me again, "that."
Alice burst out laughing. "I hate to point this out, especially now, but what were you when Edward fell in love with you?"
I rolled my eyes and slapped her arm. "That makes me feel so much better."
"Give it a rest, Bella. He's crazy for you. If you could see how strongly he feels about the track he's on, well you would be surprised. I don't think anyone has ever been so set on their decisions like he is. Believe me, I've seen a lot."
"Your right. I cant help but think that he's too perfect for me. Even now when I'm like this."
"You worry too much." Alice looked behind her catching the flight attendant's eyes locked on Edward and Jasper. "But it is sort of annoying when they do that." She winked at me.
"Exactly." I turned to look out the window.
"Can you do me a favor?" Alice asked through clenched teeth. She looked like she was concentrating on something really hard.
I looked at her confused. "What?"
"Put you shield around us."
I immediately looked around the cabin trying to find something I needed to shied us from. "Why?" I asked when I couldn't sense anything.
"Just you and me, do it!" I did as she asked and she relaxed. I caught Edward glance over at me and I gave him a quick shrug. Jasper quickly regained his attention, and he let it go.
"What was that about?" I asked her, raising an eyebrow.
"It's hard to talk and not think about what your talking about." Alice shook her head. "Ok, I wanted to ask you about a vision I saw the other day."
"Shoot." I turned my body so we were facing each other. Our heads leaning in so we could talk even lower.
"Are you really going to go looking for Jacob?"
I leaned away from her surprised. I took a deep breath, and leaned back in. "How did you see that? You cant see Jacob."
"True, that's why I see you going off on your own, and then you disappear. I know your not out looking for Renesmee because I looked into Edwards future when you decided to go werewolf hunting, and his wasn't clear either. Which only means he has Renesmee." She paused waiting for me to answer.
"I thought about that for a split second. I didn't want the last time we saw each other to be the last time we see each other. I have to find him."
"Edward obviously has no idea." Alice stated.
"Correct, and it's going to stay that way. I probably wont even go looking. He could be anywhere, and I don't want to hurt him anymore."
"Good choice. I feel terrible for Jacob, but you are right. Renesmee is still basically a baby. She shouldn't have to deal with the feelings that are growing inside of her when Jacob is around. I'll give you that much, but Jasper feels what Jacob feels. The tie he has to her is more than anything Jasper has ever felt before."
"I know, Edward has seen it through Jacob's mind." I told her.
"The tie wont be set in concrete until she is older. Renesmee does have a choice though, and that's all that matters." Alice patted my knee.
"How do we know she will have a choice? How do we know that once she's full grown that she will see Jacob and instantly be drawn to him?" I asked her.
"Well I don't know if she will automatically be drawn to him or not, but Jacob told us when he was explaining him imprinting on her when she was born," Alice chuckled, "that was a uncomfortable conversation." She sighed, "He told us, before Edward could killed him, that he doesn't have 'those' feelings for her- yet. She will grow up being able to choose her own destiny, but she will most likely choose Jacob. Although his path is set, he will wait patiently for Renesmee to realize who she really belongs to." Alice scratched her temple, "I guess it's something like us. As vampires it's easy for us to find our mates once they step in the room. Carlisle knew right away that he was meant to love only Esme. He changed her, and sure enough she loved him just the same. As well as Rosalie being able to find Emmett, and me with Jasper." She paused laughing, "It's amazing how long Edward had to wait for you to be born and grow up." Alice's eyes lit up. "See it's just like that! Edward didn't know he was waiting for you to come along, but he waited patiently for your birth. Then he waited while you grew up, just like Jacob. See, now you know that you were born just for him, but before you met him your life was in your own hands. You made your own decisions until you laid your eyes on Edward, just like Renesmee."
"Once I saw him, no one else existed. He was the one for me." I added, knowing exactly what she meant. "So it might be the same for Renesmee, now that she's growing up without him around her she will not have that pull until she sees him through her adult eyes for the first time." Both of us had our hands clung to each others arms.
"Exactly, and if she grew up around him, I don't think she will ever see anyone but him." Alice took both of my hands in hers and kissed them, "So… I understand what your doing." She nodded confident in her new perspective.
I pulled my hands out of her grasp and flung my arms around her neck, squealing with delight. "Finally!" I my voice screeched abnormally high. I didn't care, Alice finally saw things my way. I heard 6 bodies turning in their seats. Alice and I looked up at the same time to see Esme grinning widely, Carlisle reached over the seat touching both our cheeks. He wasn't sure what we were so happy about, but he always liked seeing any of us happy. We turned to see Rosalie turned in her seat looking confused, Emmett leaning over his seat talking to Edward and Jasper, was now burrowing his eyebrows at us, Jasper and Edward both seemed a bit annoyed since I still had my shield up and They couldn't read us the way they wanted to.
"Sorry." Alice and I both whispered to our family at the same time.
Alice wrapped her arms around me and kissed my cheek, once, twice, a third time before saying, "I'm so sorry I ever doubted you. If we only had this conversation before I flipped out on you, I would have never got mad. Maybe even been able to talk to Jacob."
All 6 pairs of eyes were still on us. "Excuse me, Miss." Emmett held up his hand to stop the flight attendant on her way passed.
"Can I help you, Sir?" She sounded more than willing. Rosalie growled too low for human ears to hear.
"Yes, can you please get a curtain for the 2 ladies sitting diagonally from me. I think they need some privacy. It's make up time." Emmett winked at her and laughed deeply.
"That wont be necessary, he's just joking." Carlisle told her. With her back towards Emmett to smile politely at Carlisle before she looked behind him to Alice and I, still wrapped up in each others arms, Edward and Jasper reached over the seat knocking Emmett up both sides of his head. The flight attendant quickly walked away shutting the curtain behind her. Emmett, Jasper, and Edward continued to have a punching match.
"Cut it out before you hit me! I swear if you mess up my hair I'll-" Rosalie started to say, but stopped when Emmett reached down at the same time Jasper reached around the seat. They both rubbed their hands all over her head, making her hair stand out everywhere.
"You guys suck!" Rosalie screeched. She pushed their hands away immediately getting up and walking too quickly to the nearest bathroom.
The rest of the flight was calm after Esme threatened the guys to keep their hands on their laps and their mouths shut or she was going to shove a bag full of peanuts into them. We landed and as soon as we walked off the plane Edward took me in his arms. "We were apart for too long." He smiled.
"A whole 2 seats apart, how ever did we make it." I clapped my hand to my forehead in disbelief. Edward chuckled and leaned in to kiss me.
We walked to Rosalie's SUV and headed home. As soon as we pulled in the driveway Edward pulled me towards the house. "Edward." I tried pulling against him, as I pointed to his car. "Umm, Edward, daughter, have to go pick her up."
"She's sleeping, we will pick her up in the morning. I'm sure your father wouldn't mind keeping her for a few more hours." Edward dropped my arm, and swept me off my feet in the same moment. "Right now, I want you alone."
"I can handle that." I smiled and my lips found his neck at the same time he picked up his pace up to our room.
