A/N: I just needed to edit this so sorry if you thought there was a new chapter.
Apparently there has been a glitch with fanfiction because i haven't been able to log in for days. This chapter has been ready for quite a while and it is the long awaited Sports tournament.
Meaning you JohnCullen, you've been waiting for it, I know you have.
I don't watch basketball though, so it is a little fast through that. It's time to see who teams with who and who takes everything a little too seriously. Also more information is found out about Aedan's past. So I will be updating in a few more days. I have just a little bit of writers block.
So I had a total Bella moment this morning. Me and her are probably the only two people who are taking out the trash and slip on the ice. It was quite funny but very painful so my back is preventing me from doing much at all. I also just got a job yesterday (yippee) so chapters will probably start getting spaced out a little bit. Sorry. Alright sorry for my ramblings, the long awaited sports tournament, ENJOY!!!
Sports
"Hey honey," I said to Renesmee as I entered her room. "How are you doing?"
"I'm doing okay I guess."
"I'm sorry that Jake is being an ass. I have personal experience with that one."
"Why did you never tell me," she inquired. I tried to think of something to tell her but I decided the truth was the best idea.
"I just didn't want to see you hurt. You and Jacob are such good friends and I didn't want you to be upset at him. It's not like I could prevent what he did anymore than you could. Trust me, I flipped out too."
"Really?"
"It was just after you were born and I came downstairs after my pain had gone away and I wanted to see you. I then saw your father's smirk and the way that Jacob was looking at you and I instantly knew. Aunt Rosalie had to take you away because I was so upset."
"I'm sorry for last night."
"It's not that big of a deal honestly. We all have those kind of nights."
"Even you," she questioned.
"Yep even me, a long time ago when I could still cry, I used to cry all the time. It's a natural instinct for us to cry."
"But I don't want to be weak." I looked at her and smiled.
"Honey, you are anything but weak."
"Really?"
"Really." I put my hand on her shoulder. "You are an extremely strong young woman and there is nothing wrong with crying once in a while. You have put up with a lot of stuff and you don't complain about it. You are perfectly justified in crying this time. Just don't let the crying get to you."
"I'll try not to."
"Come on, we should get hunting."
"Alright."
Prep was then underway the entire night leading up to the sports tournament. It was like we were all preparing for battle. Everyone had gone out to hunt the night before all out in different packs. The night before we had all gathered and Renesmee carried up the boxes from her room. We all sat at the dining room table and waited for her to pull out the jerseys. For each sport there was a red team and a blue team and all members were pulled at random before Nessie ordered the uniforms. And oddly enough the teams were mostly even. Each of the four sports had a mediator because of the odd number of our family. The mediator was given a referee shirt for that particular sport, or umpire, and the same pants as everybody else. Renesmee thought of absolutely everything. Alice was so proud of her niece. Apparently Alice used to do the same thing until everybody got sick of it. But somehow with Renesmee doing it they were more tolerant then they were before. Alice would always find a plus side to anything that involved her niece and clothes. That child had more clothes than anybody had ever seen.
The teams were then put on a piece of poster board that was brought with us to the large opening that we normally used for our sports. The first sport that we were playing was baseball. That was good game to start with. It was relaxed enough and there wasn't much contact. The mediator was Esme and the teams were as follows:
Red Team Blue Team
Jasper Aedan
Bella Camden
Rosalie Carlisle
Emmett Alice
Renesmee Edward
The baseball game ended up being really intense. The score was tied at 1-1 most of the game. Emmett had gotten a homerun and scored the Red teams only run. Meanwhile, Carlisle, who had gotten a double, was brought in by Edward's single into deep left field. It was the bottom of the 8th inning and my team was up to beat. I had gotten a hit into right field and made it to first without too much of a problem. As Alice released the pitch, I took off trying to steal second. Edward was standing in my way so I slide into his legs, causing him to fall to the ground and completely miss the throw from Camden. Aedan got the ball before I could get up and get to third.
"Jes love, did you really need to do that," Edward asked getting up and brushing the dirt off of his baseball pants. I really needed to thank Renesmee for those pants. They made him look even better than he normally did. The men were wearing basic major league baseball uniforms with tight white baseball pants with Cullens stitched on the left hip of the pants with a white button-up jersey and long sleeve shirts with the colors of their team.
"Yeah I did, sorry."
He came over to me and put his arm around my waist. "Damn, our daughter had good taste," he whispered in my ear. He brushed the dirt off of my butt and smacked it as he walked away. The women had the same pants as the guys with horizontally striped socks. Our jerseys were very form fitting, hitting every curve of our upper bodies just right with a v-neck top. We all needed a shirt underneath to keep ourselves decent. Rosalie was next up and she ended up sending a shot into center field. It ended up going into the trees but Aedan climbed the tree and grabbed it while it was still in the air. I advanced to 3rd as he hit the ground. There were now two outs and Emmett was up to bat. He took a swing and missed the first time. The second pitch came and he swung again. Miss, strike 2.
"Come on Emmett," I yelled from 3rd base. "Hit me in."
"Go Uncle Emmett," Renesmee yelled from the on deck circle. "You can do it."
Emmett dug his feed in further and prepared for the next pitch. Alice wound up the pitch and flung it right down the center. Emmett nailed a ground ball past Carlisle at shortstop and I ran home safely. Now we were up by a run. Renesmee stepped up to the plate and hit a soft bunt down the third base line. Alice ran to it and collided with Camden and both ended up on the ground laughing with the ball in-between them. Emmett managed to get to 3rd and Renesmee to 2nd. Jasper was then back up to bat. He ended up hitting a pop fly to right-center field and Aedan performed a diving catch to end the inning. I went to the pitcher's mound as Edward to his place at the plate.
"Pitcher's got a big butt, pitcher's got a big butt," he chanted from the batter's box. I just pretended not to listen while Emmett was laughing his ass off in left field. I turned around and shook my butt at him before returning to the pitcher's mound. I flew a fastball right around his waistline. He jumped out of the way and looked at me.
"Don't mess with the pitcher."
He just shook it off and stepped back in. I ended up striking him out with 3 pitches, quite a feat for me. I apparently was a good pitcher, who would have known. Aedan was up next and he got a high line drive to left field. Emmett ran for it and caught it before it could get past him. Alright two more outs and we had them. I was never one for sports but this was fun. Camden would be my last victim. I threw him two pitches before he caught the tail end of one. It was a grounder straight down the third base line. Emmett ran for it while I covered second base. I could hear Camden coming and I was hoping that I had the ball before he got there. I caught Emmett's throw and went to tag Camden. I hand my hands out with the ball and Camden slide right into my ankle. I toppled over and landed on my face.
"Bella do you have it," I heard Esme yell. I held the ball in the air and smiled. "You're out," she yelled. "The red team wins."
I smiled as Edward came over to me.
"Love are you alright?"
"I'm good but you are going to get it." He looked at me confusingly. "Pitcher's got a big butt," I mocked with a condescending tone. "Real original. You should know never to tell your wife that she has a big butt. That is rule numero uno."
"I didn't know you knew Spanish."
I smacked him in the chest and was then raised into the air onto Emmett's shoulder. He ran with me on his shoulders around the bases doing a victory lap. Leave it to Emmett to make a victory lap.
We all sat down on the sidelines as Carlisle picked up the bases and Emmett put up the field goals for football. I was amazed to see the height of the posts for one and for two the length between the two was so short. I guess that we really did need to modify each sport for our liking. Renesmee smiled widely as we all went our separate ways to get changed into our football uniforms. Shiny white football pants, no pads, and mesh football jerseys with our number on the front and back with our name on the back. I put my hair up into a ponytail and put eye black underneath my eyes. I occasionally saw football players use it. I didn't see the point of it but I thought that it was cool. Renesmee took my lead and then Alice followed. She ended up putting a star around her left eye. She looked like one of the members of KISS. Renesmee was going to be the mediator in this game and I was pleasantly happy about this. I didn't want to see her getting tackled to her death. She was still more fragile than the rest of us. The teams for football were as follows:
Red Team Blue Team
Bella Edward
Aedan Camden
Carlisle Jasper
Emmett Alice
Rosalie Esme
The game started off nice and slow and after the other team got their first touchdown the mood of game changed. Everybody was getting a little bit more physical. However, it was funny seeing Alice try to knock Emmett over. It made the whole game more bearable. I didn't really like playing this and I would have rather been on the sidelines.
In the fourth quarter the score was 30-27 in favor of the red team. Edward threw the ball to Alice and she caught it right in front of Emmett. He went to grab her and missed. She danced around him while he was on the ground. He nailed the ground when she escaped his grasp. She danced up and down in the end zone and I laughed at Emmett. The time on the clock was up and the Blue team had been victorious.
"Nice try Emmett," Alice said cockily as she walked passed him. She tossed the ball into his awaiting arms and he was fuming. He gritted his teeth and balled his hands up. The ball was deflated before it hit the ground. I laughed a little bit before Rosalie went up to him and tried to calm him down. Edward ran up to me and tackled me lightly to the ground. He hovered his body over mine for a moment.
"Hey the game is over," I said.
"I know but I didn't get a chance to tackle you."
"Tell you what, you can tackle me later."
"Oh you are naughty," he said leaning down and kissing my neck. He kissed my neck all the way up to my ears and made his way across my jaw until he reached me lips. I smiled at him and we heard coughing in the background. Alice had her arm around Jasper's waste and Emmett was sitting on the ground next to us.
"Okay gross," Renesmee said.
"Sorry honey. At least you know that your parents still love each other."
"Ewwwww, ewwwwww, ewwwwww."
She covered her eyes and walked away to the forest. She seemed to be in a better mood today than she had been in the past 2 days. I was glad that this distraction was working in more than one way. We took a half an hour break in-between football and soccer. We all needed to let our emotions calm down before soccer began.
"So Aedan, did you play soccer before you were changed," Rosalie asked. She seemed genuinely curious.
"Yeah I was an all-American all 4 years of high school. How did you know?"
"The way that you are shaped. It's easy to tell."
"I also ran track and played basketball. I was definitely an athlete in high school."
"Well maybe you and Edward could race sometime. Maybe somebody will finally beat him."
On second hand, I think that Rosalie was just trying to size up the competition for the next round of play. This time Camden was the mediator and the teams were as follows:
Red Team Blue Team
Bella Carlisle
Edward Esme
Alice Emmett
Aedan Rosalie
Jasper Renesmee
I think that we all knew going into it what team was going to win. With Jasper's ability to weave in and out through the competition, Edward's speed and Aedan's background with soccer, it was just a matter of time. Alice and I held our own also. I beat out Emmett on a few moves and Alice ended up slide tackling him. I was just having fun watching Emmett squirm as he couldn't get control of himself. He was still upset at the football game. Esme barely even played. She kicked the ball when it came to her and she ran up the field one time and kicked the ball in the goal right past me. She jumped in the air for joy and her team circled around her giving her hugs all around. Esme was never one for sports and only played because of the family. She really was the mother of the group. The score ended up being 6-3 in favor of the red team.
Edward came up to me after the game and put his arm around my shoulder. He leaned in closely to whisper in my ear "It was nice of you to let Esme score." I nodded at him and I did let her get the goal. "She was extremely excited about it. She's so proud of herself." I smiled as we walked to our next location. We went to the basketball court that was a driveway from an old house that used to exist there. Now there was actually a full team for each team. Basketball was played 5-on-5 and it was nice to have the right size teams. Rosalie was the mediator, which was a good thing. She didn't want to chip her nail polish even more than it already was.
Red Team Blue Team
Jasper Bella
Renesmee Esme
Aedan Carlisle
Alice Camden
Edward Emmett
Emmett seemed to be on a mission the entire basketball game. He ended up being the leading scorer between the two teams. He was trying to prove that he could do something. Everybody knew that he was good at sports but he had gotten out maneuvered all day. He wasn't happy being a loser. Since he was on so much of a mission, my team really didn't need to do much. I basically stood there the entire game, passing the ball when it came my way. I did get 2 baskets. It was a very long game. The final score was 101 for the blue team and 90 for the red team. Aedan didn't stand a chance when it came to Emmett's ego. It was a quality that took some time to get used to.
We packed up all of the equipment and brought it back to the house. It took a few trips but we were home by sunset. Renesmee went down to her room after saying goodnight to everybody to take a shower and then go to sleep. We would be leaving for New York in the morning and I had yet to pack for it. Edward and I went to the cottage after saying goodnight to everybody and packed up our things. Just 1 suitcase apiece was all that was needed. We would be there for only 2 weeks before we came back here for Jacob's wedding. I was wondering if Leah still even wanted us to be there after what happened the other night.
Edward and I spent the night together, alone in the cottage. We did what any couple would do that didn't have their child for night. The morning came all to soon as the faint sunlight shone through the window. I reluctantly got out of bed and went into my closet to get dressed for the day. I pulled on a pair of black sweatpants, a plain dark blue t-shirt and a pair of sneakers. I grabbed a sweatshirt on the way out and joined Edward in our bedroom. He was already dressed to go in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt with a light gray pea coat and sneakers.
"So do I look like a human ready for a long flight?"
"Of course darling, you look absolutely adorable. Almost as sexy as you did yesterday."
He came over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him. He kissed my neck and made his way down to collarbone.
"Edward, we can't do this."
"Why not?"
"Our flight leaves in a few hours. We have to meet everyone at the house."
"Errrg."
"No come on," I said pulling away his interlocked arms and grabbing his hands. He reluctantly picked up our suitcases and we were off to go to the house. When we got there Esme was standing outside.
"What's wrong," Edward asked. He was once again speaking out loud only for my needs.
"Nothing, the driver is late. He was supposed to be here 20 minutes ago."
"Maybe he missed the turnoff," I interjected. "It happens to humans, trust me. It's almost impossible to get here if you don't know where you are going." I went over to her and gave her a hug. "It will be fine. We won't miss the flight, I promise. Why aren't we just driving ourselves?"
"Because none of these babies wants to leave their car in the long-term parking. They are afraid that their precious cars will be damaged."
Esme looked over to Edward and he chuckled. Apparently this was all his idea. The bus that we were taking to the airport showed up 15 minutes later. He apologized over and over again to Esme for being late. Just as I thought, he had completely missed the turnoff. We all loaded into the bus and it was hard watching Aedan and Camden struggle to keep their thirst intact. I didn't even think of that when we were thinking of this trip. It was too soon for them to be in an enclosed plane with so many humans. But if Esme and Carlisle thought that they could do it then they could. We got to the airport with plenty of time to spare. We were off to our new home in upstate New York.
