A/N: I am so so sorry about how long this took. I didn't mean for it to take this long but a lot of things have happened in the past week but I'm not getting into them.
I wanted to thank all of you for sticking with me and I am finishing this story, it's just taking a little while.
I will finish it by the time that I go back to school (hopefully) and I'm trying to come up with new ideas.
I hope you like this chapter, it's the longest yet.
Without further ado here is chapter 29. Enjoy.
Bella's Point of View
I couldn't believe that I was actually letting Ross and Renesmee sleep in the same bed. It was one of those things that I knew they could get away with when Edward wasn't around. He was too over-protective of her. I knew that they wouldn't try anything because they were in a house of vampires. There was no way that they could do anything without us hearing anything and after what Ross told me about waiting for marriage made me feel better.
After everything that we had been through in the past week it was amazing that it had only lasted that long. A lifetime seemed to have passed since Jacob showed up at the house and ruined everything. And by the time that we got home it would be time to celebrate Christmas and then it was time to practice. Josh was missing and that was the biggest thing in Ann's life. She wanted to find him and if something happened to him it would be the end of her. She had been through way too much in the past week for any of us to even fathom. Her brother went missing and both of her parents passed away within days of each other. It had been hard for me to lose my dad but I couldn't imagine losing both in that short of a time.
Ann was just such an upbeat woman and it was hard for me to see her hurting. I could tell that she was upset even though she didn't want us to see her like that. She wanted all of us to believe that she was okay but we all knew better. Somehow Ross was able to calm her down and Alex went back to her. Now with everybody else in bed or distracted by kids I had nothing to do but sit by myself. I didn't have anything to but think.
I worried about the Volturi first and foremost. I didn't know what to think of it anymore. The battle had been coming for a while but now that it was in the forefront I was scared. I didn't want any member of my family hurt or killed. I don't know what I would do if Renesmee was hurt or Edward. I don't think that I would handle any of it well.
Esme was not one for confrontation and I was frightened for her. She is so sweet, kind and compassionate. There is no way that we couldn't love her because her personality was just beaming. Esme is the heart of our family and to lose her would be sad for all of us. A family couldn't live without its heart.
Carlisle would be tough to lose. He is the soul of our family and the backbone. Without him we would get into so many arguments. His wisdom from over the years had spread over us all but we had so much room to grow. He was our support and without him we wouldn't be able to function.
Alice brought so much light to our family. She is the one that keeps us all happy and dressed appropriately. She was the one looking out for us, an angel as it would seem. Her visions helped to steer us in the right direction to make sure none of us were hurt or lost. She continued to be our guiding light.
Jasper was our calming jester. His silent moods and his manipulation of emotions helped us all. Even if it hurt him to be around all of us when we were freaking out he endured it. He loved all of us and I loved him for it. Jasper kept us all grounded as we were lifted from the ground. He was our emotions and our will.
Rosalie is a character. There is not much else to say about her. Although she had skin as hard as stone and a personality to match, there is love deep down inside. She always acted as though she didn't care but in reality she loved us more than we loved ourselves. Her beauty and grace is just one part of her that none of us ever get used to. She was the hard skin of our family that nobody could get through.
Emmett is a bear. Although he is big and tough he is just a big goof. There is so much about him that intrigues us all from his overbearing personality to his rough exterior. The fun of our family was Emmett. There was nothing that he did that made any of us mad except for maybe when he acted too much like a child, even more so than Renesmee. He is our inner-child that kept us sane.
Edward was my entire life. Every single part of my body was him. If he weren't around I wouldn't be able to breathe. He lets everybody know what is on his mind because he has the ability to read theirs. He doesn't let any member of our family feel out of place. Everything about him is just so spectacular and the way that he carries himself only makes us walk taller. He is the lungs of our family.
Renesmee is the center of attention when it came to our family. Everybody loves her as if she was their own child. She has a little bit of all of us in her and she is the epitome of our family. She has Alice's fashion sense, Rosalie's mechanics, Emmett's competitiveness, Jasper's emotions, Edward's talents and my quiet strength. She had this silent power about her that when she walked into a room everybody noticed. Although she didn't have much physical presence there was just something about her personality that made people take notice of her.
I couldn't bare the thought of losing any of my family. Each one of us is a key member to the family and we all play certain roles. I never thought highly of myself but after our last battle with the Volturi I began to feel better about myself. I was able to protect my entire family and not have them fight at all. I loved that I was able to use my powers to protect me because they had spent so long trying to protect me and keep me safe. I was the mind of the family I guess I could say. It's not just that I was the brains of the operation, which I wasn't, but it played to my strengths and my power.
I went through my family over and over again in my head. I thought about what it would mean if one of us were not alive. What would it be like to not have someone in our family? Every one of us made up a vital part of our internal structure. With one of us gone I didn't know how any of us would function.
As the sun rose over the horizon I knew that it was time to go back to reality. It's not a reality that we wanted to face because for all of the trouble with the Volturi what if we did succeed? Would we become the new Volturi, overlooking the vampire world? What would become of Ross and Annie? It was hard to tell if we could ever get Josh back because we didn't know what happened to him. Was he dead or changed? Would he really fight against us if he had indeed joined the Volturi? I hated the fact that Ann kept blaming herself for this. She felt like it was her fault he was gone. She felt like everything that happened in the past week was her fault. I had overheard her talking to Alex and I could tell that she was torn up about it. I had never seen anybody beat themselves up to that extent. I wanted to walk in the room and yell at her, telling her it wasn't her fault that her parents passed away. I wanted her to realize that when it is time for somebody to go they were taken away. It was something that none of us could change.
Although we are immortal and can live for as long as possible it is not up to us to save every single person in our lives. If I could have saved my father I would have but he died doing what he loved. Being a cop was his entire life and if he were going to die for any reason it would be protecting the town that he loved. Forks was his entire life and he loved every single person in the town. It was easy for him to become what he did because he always wanted to be a cop. He died as the chief of police and it was as far as he could go without leaving his life behind. He loved what he did and he loved to protect people.
It's definitely sad that the people that we love were gone but it wasn't the end of the world. Maybe I needed to look at it that way when it came to the battle. It would be hard to protect every person of the family and you can't always do everything to save them. Sometimes it was just their time to go.
The ride home seemed to take forever because nobody wanted to talk. We didn't want to discuss what had happened, especially in front of Annie, and partly because we were all scared. Ross understood what was going on but only to an extent. I felt bad that he would be left by himself while we were in battle but there is no way that we could let him go with us. He would be left behind to worry the entire time we were gone with no way of getting in contact with us. I guess we could look forward to Christmas for Annie but after that it was going to be nothing but work.
When we got home and Annie was taking a nap everybody moved into the living room. We really did need to get a bigger meeting area because even in our spacious house it seemed like we were on top of each other. Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, Edward, Renesmee, Aedan, Camden, Nahuel, Makeeda, Naira, Adisa, Huilen, Ann, Carrie, John, Alex, Ross and I were waiting in silence in the living room. None of us wanted to say anything because I don't think anybody knew what to say. All of our eyes focused on Carlisle. He should have known what we needed to do.
"Alright," he started. "I know that none of us want to deal with this but we have to. I have been working all week, with some help," he said looking over to Alice. "To call all of the friends that I could. Everyone that agreed earlier to help us are on the way here. It will be difficult for us all but we need to work together as a team. We have 5 days before we leave and in that time we need to strategize. Everything that we have been working for the past few months will need to be put together. We need to protect ourselves first and foremost. If you can help out the ones that are beside you. It's something that we need to do as a family. We are all strong together but if we go in there without some type of strategy then we are going to have issues. We need to have a united front against the Volturi. They have all been battling side by side for centuries and we have to be prepared. We should start right away so why don't we meet in the backyard in 5 minutes to get started."
Everybody looked at each other without saying a word before heading off in their separate directions. There was so much tension in the room that it could be cut with a knife. It was at times like this where I was glad that I was not Jasper. The inside of his body must be going insane with so many mixed emotions. I always felt the worst for him because he had to deal with every motion of every person in the room. I walked up the stairs to mine and Edward's room and got changed into more comfortable clothes for practice. We didn't say one word to each other, which wasn't like us, as we dressed and walked down the stairs and into the back yard.
Ross' Point of View
I understood why everybody was freaking out but so was I. At least all of these people had powers to protect themselves but I was just some worthless human that was taking up space. I had never felt like this before but around all of these people I feel like a piece of crap. I love this family like they were my own but I couldn't help but feel out of place. I hated the fact that I couldn't do anything to help myself but look on and watch. I sat out on the back deck and watched as everybody reemerged from the house. It was fascinating to me that none of them held back around me. They moved with such speed I couldn't really understand it. And none of them seemed to be cold as it started to lightly snow. Thankfully they had given me more than enough warm clothing to be able to sit outside and watch.
I watched Renesmee walk out of the house and although she was dressed in sweatpants she was still so adorable to me. She smiled as we made eye contact with each other before coming over to kiss me. As I watched her join the rest of the family I couldn't believe that I had ever left her. She was everything to me and I couldn't describe it in any other way.
Sitting up on the deck and watching my family go at each other was nerve wracking. I knew that they weren't intentionally trying to hurt each other but at the same time accidents could happen. My brothers and I used to wrestle all the time when we were younger just for fun and one time Steve ended up breaking his arm. I just didn't want anybody to get injured because they were going at it pretty hard. They moved with so much speed that I really couldn't keep track of who was who. Every time that they collided with each other I held my breath to make sure that they were okay.
Renesmee scared me half to death as she stood in front of Emmett. From what I gathered they were rotating opponents every few minutes but Emmett was the first guy that she had to go up against. I didn't care if they were just playing around it was completely unfair. I didn't want to watch as they moved in a circle looking at each other. There just seemed to be something in their eyes that scared me. All of a sudden Emmett stopped and was holding the side of his head.
"Damn it Nessie," he yelled. "What the hell was that?"
"A rock," she stated slyly trying to hold back her laugh. "Now would you stop messing around? We only have so much time."
"That power of yours is so unfair," he said still rubbing his head. "And powerful."
She laughed before they started circling each other again. Only Nessie could upset Emmett like that. It was definitely something she would do just to upset him. However it didn't take much to upset Emmett. Everything in the world could get Emmett going and that was part of the reason he was so much fun. It was just so easy to make fun of him.
I tried to keep myself occupied, trying not to think of the massive guy standing in front of Nessie. Although Emmett was a fun guy he could be scary. He is the most intimidating of the Cullens and the strongest. I've heard about when he gets angry and losses his temper, which can be often, and I didn't want her on the other end of that. Although Nessie thought she was untouchable, she was still fragile. She was the woman that I loved and everything about her was still breakable to me.
"So are you having fun," Bella asked sitting down next to me. I hadn't even seen her coming and I jumped a little bit. "You still aren't used to this are you?"
"Not really," I admitted. "I'm still having a hard time believing that you are her mom."
"I understand that you are upset by that."
"I'm not really upset by it; just trying to adjust to it is more like it. Everything about your family fascinates me in every way. I'm just happy that you let me into your family."
"Ross I have to tell you from the moment that Nessie expressed interest in you I knew that you would be accepted into our family. With Edward keeping tabs on you and just the way that you acted around her we knew that you were different. The whole family did. It was the same way with me. They knew that I would be part of their family just because they knew I was strong enough to deal with everything that they deal with. We all think the same thing of you. You are strong enough to be in this family and deal with everything that we go through. You've already proved that. Just because you weren't nosy trying to figure out exactly what we are doesn't mean that you don't love us just the same. It is hard knowing how old everybody is but you are taking it well. I'm sure that it surprises you sometimes when there is something like this going on."
"I'm still adjusting to it but I'm doing okay with it. When we are all just sitting around and talking I feel fine with everybody because I don't think about what you guys really are. But when I sit here and watch you guys do this kind of stuff is when I realize it."
"Bella," Emmett yelled. "Get your little butt down here now," he yelled pointing to the ground next to him.
"Looks like I'm in trouble," she stated getting up off of the chair before running back over to her family.
I wished that I could do something to help all of them. I hated just sitting on the sidelines watching everybody else do something. I wanted to be one of them. I knew it was something weird to want to be immortal as a vampire but if it meant that Renesmee and I could be together and be equals then I would do it. I would do anything for her even though we hadn't known each other very long.
Edward scared me when he was suddenly sitting beside me. I was really starting to get annoyed that all of them could scare me so easily. Maybe I wanted them to go back to not showing off in front of me.
"That's not going to happen," he stated answering my thoughts. Damn I forgot he could do that. Did he just hear everything I was thinking? "Yes I did and that's why I came over here. Do you want to talk about all of that? It seems like you have extreme feelings for my daughter."
"I do sir," I said thinking I was talking to some scary father. "It's nothing like I've ever felt before. Do you understand what it's like to know the moment that you see somebody that you want to be with them forever?"
"I thought that the first time I saw Bella. Everything about her fascinated me. I just want to make sure that you know what you are getting yourself into. I don't think we have really told you how much this will change your life. I think that Bella would be somebody good to talk to about changing into a vampire because she chose this life. I just want you to know that it will be a while before we all agree that you will be changed. It really is a family decision when this sort of thing happens. Bella actually put it to a vote."
"Really," I asked confused. I thought that the family had accepted her just because she seemed to fit in with them so flawlessly. I never thought that anybody would vote against her.
"Yes. She wanted me to stop being stubborn and let the family decide. And well, you know how that turned out. But you have to understand that it does take a while and the process is very painful."
"But how are you changed into a vampire?"
"You need to wait to learn that. I know that it's a pain to wait but we don't want you to be getting any crazy ideas."
"Alright," I stated dumbly. I didn't know what else to say. This better be good when I finally get to learn how it all happens. But then I remembered that there were other vampires coming to the house. Now I was going to start freaking out.
"Don't worry," Edward said reassuringly. "Our friends are very understanding when it comes to humans around our family. They are able to resist if they must and I will be keeping tabs on their thoughts and Jasper will keep tabs on their emotions. It will be very easy for us to stop anything that may happen, even though it is highly unlikely."
"And you can stop all of them if I start bleeding?"
"Maybe you should be careful," he said jokingly. Oh that was reassuring. I didn't even know what to think anymore? Should I be gone by the time that they get here? Should I keep my distance? When were they all coming anyway? "I don't think that you need to leave but keep your distance while you can. We are going to need you to keep Annie away from all of the fighting. It's the last thing that we need is her seeing all of this. I think that it's a bad idea to have a child here anyways but Annie is special I guess. Our friends will all be here by sunset tomorrow. Does that answer all of your questions?"
"Yes but I have just one more. When will you guys be leaving?"
"In 2 days. We have a lot of work to get done and I think that maybe you could fend for yourself while we are gone. Look after the house and cook and stuff for yourself. I think that you'll be able to handle that."
"And Annie?"
"Will be in your care. If you need any help we are going to see if one of our friends from Washington can stay here with you in case you get overwhelmed."
"Well this certainly isn't what I was planning to do on my Christmas vacation."
"Maybe next year we can do something fun. You haven't seen anything until you see us all snowboarding."
"I guess that would be fun. Why don't you go back and I will try to keep my thoughts to myself?"
"It's not possible to do that but I will just focus on my opponent instead. It makes my life a lot easier to hear what my opponent is planning on doing to me. It gives me the upper hand."
"It's not fair but I guess that nothing around this house is ever fair."
"Now you are starting to understand," he said getting up and putting his hand on my shoulder. He then bent down to my level. "And you and Nessie better not try anything funny tonight."
"What do you mean," I asked in a whisper.
He followed my lead by whispering "I heard about you two at Ann's brother's house and I would find it unfair to take that away from you. You have two days with her before we leave and I want you guys to enjoy every minute of it that you can."
He was off to the rest of the family before I could even blink. If he was saying these types of things to me was something bad going to happen to her? Now I had even more to worry about but at least tonight I could be happy when we were lying by ourselves in bed. Bella must have talked to him.
Renesmee's Point of View
That shower was probably the best one of my life. Practice today was just killing me. I worked so hard but I felt like I didn't get anything accomplished. Everybody had kept Ross occupied after we were finished practicing so I could go hunting with my mom and dad. We would need to go again before we left and probably when we got to Italy but I needed some more energy. I felt like I was completely drained and human food just wouldn't satisfy everything.
Ross had done surprisingly well today. He sat up on the deck most of the time just watching us, trying to figure out who was who and what was going on. It must be hard for him to have to deal with all of this but it seemed like he was going along fairly well.
My parents had a talk with me while we were hunting about Ross and I staying in my room together. I almost jumped up and down with enthusiasm but tried to keep my cool. It was one of the best nights of sleep that I ever had because I had his warm yet cool body laying next to me. It wasn't as hot as sleeping next to Jacob or as cold as sleeping next to my mom but it was just right just like Little Red Riding Hood. Everything about it was just perfect.
But I also talked to them about things that I didn't want to talk about. They wanted me to call Jake and although I knew I would have to be the one to call him for help I was not looking forward to it. All throughout my shower all I could think about was what I was going to say to him. I didn't know whether I should apologize or just forget that it ever happened. I didn't know if he was sorry or he ever would be but I guessed that I could thank him for talking to Ross about everything. I guess it was good that Jake decided to Ross because it gave Ross an outside perspective about everything.
After my shower and getting dressed for bed I sat down at the top of my bed and crossed my legs in front of me. I took my cell phone off of my bedside table and fiddled with it for a few minutes. I guess that I was just trying to actually get up the courage to actually call Jake. It took a little bit of time but I decided that I just needed to get it over with. I dialed the number and it rang twice before I heard his voice on the other line.
"Nessie," he asked excited but also hesitantly.
"Hi Jake," I replied stupidly.
"I'm so sorry for everything that happened. I don't know what came over me but I just couldn't control my temper. It wasn't something that I had been prepared to see you know and I just let my body take control without even thinking. I'm so sorry that I did all of that to you."
"Jake," I said trying to interrupt him before he went any further. He was talking a mile a minute and I just wanted to get my two cents in. "It's fine, don't worry about it. I had to tell Ross everything eventually and I guess that it was as good a time as any. I just want to apologize to you also if I did anything to upset you."
"You really shouldn't be the one apologizing. You grew up and now you have a boyfriend. It is just taking a little bit of time for me to adjust to that to be honest. However as the days go by it is beginning to get easier and easier."
"Thank you for talking to him too. He told me that it really helped with everything."
"You're welcome I guess. It's the only thing that I could do to try and help the situation. I feel like I needed to. Ross is who makes you happy and if that is that case then I am happy for you."
"How is Leah? Is she doing okay?"
"She was a little bit pissed at first to be honest but I think that she is okay. Everything with her is going good because we finally got to the point where we are sleeping in the same bed again. We are just trying to work on our marriage."
"And it's going okay?"
"Yes very much so Nessie. Is this the only reason why you called?"
"No I kind of need to tell you something else. I hope that this isn't a bad time."
"Why? What's going on?"
"Well remember a long time ago when you said that you would help us out with the Volturi if we ever needed it."
"Yes."
"Well the time has come. We are leaving for Italy the day after tomorrow. And if you don't want to do it or the pack just isn't into it then its fine. It would be nice though to have you guys there again. I understand that the last time you were probably just helping us to protect your tribe but now that your tribe isn't in danger you're not obligated to help us."
"Are you kidding me," he asked sarcastically. "You guys are like a tribe to me. We might be a messed up tribe but my tribe is in danger. Leah will come and Seth too. I will see who else will join us. Don't worry Nessie we will be there within the next 24 hours."
"Can you ask Sue to come up too? We need her to stay at the house."
"I believe that could be arranged. But why?"
"We will fill you in when you get here. Anyways I think you still have a credit card we gave you."
"You never gave me a credit card."
"It is underneath the lamp in your room at Billy's house."
"How on earth," he asked trying to grasp the concept of it.
"Just use it to buy your plane tickets and stuff. You are helping us out so the least we could do is pay your way here and back."
"You guys are one of a kind," he muttered with a little bit of a chuckle. "I guess I will see you tomorrow then."
"Tomorrow it is. Thank you Jacob."
"You're welcome and thank you to. Sleep night Nessie."
"I will and you too."
I hung up the phone with a smile on my face as I placed the cell phone next to my bed. I then pulled my legs up to my chest and wrapped my arms around them. I was panicking about everything that was going to happen in a few days and there was nothing that I could do to stop it. I knew that I would be a little bit of help with my new powers but it was still something that I wasn't looking forward to. I think that only one that was looking forward to it was Emmett but I think that he was even having some reservations about the whole thing.
"Are you decent," I heard Ross yell from the top of the stairs.
"Yeah come on down."
I heard him walk down the stairs and he was so cute in his red flannel pajama pants and black shirt. I was thankful that he liked one of the things I got him for Christmas. However all of our presents were going to be open in the morning. My parents really did try to make everything special for me even if it was a few days late.
"You look comfy," he stated sitting down next to me on the bed. "Are you feeling okay now?"
"I feel a lot better."
"You were out hunting weren't you," he asked not making any eye contact with me.
"Yes we were but I was hoping that you wouldn't figure it out."
"Do you really think that I'm that unobservant?"
"No not really. I just didn't want you to know."
"Why not," he asked. "It's part of who you are and you shouldn't be ashamed of that at all."
"Do you mean that," I asked looking towards him. He raised his head and looked at me dead in the yes.
"None of that stuff matters to me. You know that I love you no matter what you choose to eat or who you are. It's part of your nature and as long as you don't drink my blood then we are going to be okay."
"Trust me there is no chance that will ever happen. I love you too much to ever do something like that to you. I just couldn't live with myself if I let anything happen to you."
He smiled at me and I smiled back. We probably had the dorkiest looks on our faces but I didn't care. I leaned in and kissed him lightly on the lips. I could never ever get sick of doing that with him. I was content with just being able to kiss him and lie together on my bed for the rest of eternity.
"So did my parents talk to you," I asked as we lay down on our sides.
"Yes they did and Edward basically told me if I tried anything he would have my head on a silver platter."
"Well it's a good thing that you won't try anything. I still do have my morals even though I'm part vampire."
"I know that and I have mine as well. It's called being human." We laughed a little bit before getting comfortable in my bed. "So did you end up calling Jake?"
"Yeah I did. Everything is fine with us and he and his pack will be here tomorrow. Also Sue is coming down and she is going to help you with Annie while we are gone."
"I wish that I could come with you."
"Part of me wishes that to but I think that it would do more harm than good. I don't want the Volturi to have any more reason to hurt us and I don't think that I would be able to stand it if something were to happen to you."
"Then I will stay at home and man the house. I guess that would be the correct term."
"Are you going to be okay," I asked him. "I know that it won't be easy for you to be here and not know what's going on."
"I will be thinking about it the entire time that you are gone but there really isn't anything that I can do to prevent it. If there was anything that I could do to make sure that you were safe I would do it. I would be selfish and ask you not to go but I know that it would kill you to be away from your family. I know how much of an asset they are to you and I know that you don't want to be separated from them at a time like this."
"I also don't want to be away from you."
"I've made the decision and so have you and you are going to go with your family because that's where you are going to be the greatest asset. I just don't want to be by myself but now that Sue is coming I guess that everything is going to be okay. I've never been that great with kids."
"Well it's a good thing that Annie is an easy kid to take care of. Imagine if she was more like Ann, it would be horrible."
"Yeah that it kind of scary. I just hope that everything will go okay in a few days."
"Everything will be fine. We have been preparing for this for a while now and we have the odds on our side. Alice is trying to see if there is anything that we need to be worried about but so far there is nothing. I think that they have found a way to block her because she can't even figure out where Josh is and if he is okay. It is going to take a lot for us to restrain Ann because if she finds out that something happened to him there is going to be no stopping her."
"Well let's hope that everything is okay."
"I'll be back, I just need to say goodnight to my parents."
"Not a problem," he said as I got up off the bed and put on my pink fuzzy slippers. I knew that they looked corny but they were the best thing I had ever gotten. "I do love those things you know," Ross stated as I started walking away. "That I think is the moment that I fell in love with you."
"You fell in love with me because of my slippers."
"Not because of them but it helped a little bit. You felt comfortable enough around me to look absolutely ridiculous and I loved that instantly about you."
"I'll be back," I stated heading up the stairs with a smile on my face. When I opened the door to the living room my family was stuffing presents under the tree. Well by this point the presents were being stacked next to the tree and there were still plenty more.
"Don't you think you guys went a little bit overboard," I asked sitting next to my mom on the couch and snuggling into her chest.
"I think they wanted it to be Annie's best Christmas ever. She is going through a lot right now and we want it to be special. Plus everybody's presents are under there. We have a lot more family members than we did last year."
"Yeah I think 11 more in one year is a little bit of overkill but whatever."
"What can I say? We all just have big hearts."
"I know that. I just wanted to say goodnight and I love you."
"I love you too sweetie. Your dad is in the kitchen if you want to say goodnight to him."
"I will," I said as she kissed my forehead and I got off the couch. My dad was sitting on the counter in the kitchen talking to Emmett.
"I just wanted to say goodnight Daddy."
"I know come here," he stated grabbing me and pulling me into a hug. "I love you Nessie."
"I love you too."
"And just to let you know I will be listening."
"Nothing is going to happen. Do you really think that we would be that stupid?"
"No but you never know."
"Okay and thank you for letting him stay with me. I really do appreciate it."
"I know but you should get some sleep. Alice will probably be jumping on your bed pretty early."
"Of course she will," I said before he kissed the top of my head. I gave Emmett a quick hug before walking through the living room and downstairs to my bedroom. I turned the lights off and crawled in under the blankets with Ross.
"Tomorrow will be eventful," I stated bluntly.
"I can understand why."
"And don't think that you got out of getting presents. I think they bought the entire mall up there."
"That I am not looking forward to."
I giggled a little bit before finding his face and kissing his lips ever so slightly. "I love you," I whispered inches from his face.
"I love you too," he whispered before kissing me lightly. "Sleep tight." He kissed me again and before I could even think about the day I was out like a light.
