Nessie POV
1 Month Later
I hadn't been so sure about what exactly was going on at the moment. It's been weeks since I last heard from my parents. Ellen and Kayden went to stay with Analeigh in London for however long was necessary. I didn't know if these vampires had attacked yet, and who exactly they wanted to take down…or how many.
All I knew was that Jacob and Arabell were okay. I hadn't heard from anyone else.
It was driving me insane! I wanted so badly to call everyone and know that they were still there…but for tracking reasons I couldn't call unless they called us.
I was trying not to freak out over the situation like I had the last time this similar situation came about, with Jacob and I relocating to Toronto with Ellen and Kayden. Each day I woke up to the sounds of the waves rolling in and out of the ocean, taking a very bouncy Arabell with me out on the shore. I loved watching her play in the sand…laughing to herself when the water would wash over her feet. If I didn't have Arabell like I did now…well I don't think I could have ever lived through another scenario like the one that was going on right this moment.
Jacob POV
The light shined in from the tall windows as I woke up, still half asleep. I turned over and found an empty spot next to me. Then I saw Nessie outside on the shore with Arabell. She stood there in shorts and a white button-up shirt, her bikini underneath. I finally decided to get out of bed.
Nessie POV
I stood looking out at the ocean, watching Arabell sit in the wet sand waiting for the water to rise up to the shore. I suddenly felt Jacob's strong, protective arms around my waist. I sunk back into his chest, my eyes on Arabell. He kissed the top of my head, sinking his face into my hair. I wrapped my arms around his biceps, feeling comfortable here in the safe, loving arms that held me tight to his chest.
November
I still heard no answer from them.
But I kept my hopes high. I was stronger than I was before.
December
I sat by the window in the soaring heat.
It was summertime here in Australia.
And it was almost Christmas time.
This would be Arabell's first Christmas.
My family wouldn't be here for that.
Because there was still…no reply.
January
I couldn't stand this any longer.
Jacob was starting to worry over me again.
Though every time I looked into Arabell's eyes…
It lifted my spirits… I had to be there for her.
She was getting taller. Her cute wild curls were getting longer.
We prayed for them every night before we went to sleep.
February
I woke up at the break of dawn.
I went for a walk on the shore, the warm water rushing in between my toes.
The thought of my mother came into my mind.
And I couldn't help but let the tears fall.
March
I sat in the living room in the white wicker chair next to the tall windows.
My eyes were on the piano in the corner of the room.
The thought of my father coming to mind,
And my lullaby started playing in my head.
And I couldn't help but let the tears fall.
April
Summer was ending here.
The rain would fall all the time now.
Reminding me of the one place I didn't want to be reminded of…
Home.
May
Jacob and Arabell were the only ones that could comfort me. I would find myself in his arms, crying on his chest. I had that need, that desire to be as close to be close to him.
I put Arabell to bed in her room, wanting to be alone with Jacob.
We were all alone in the house.
Sara and Bray had left to go hunting until morning.
Jacob and I made love that night.
June
Arabell was almost a year old. She was almost walking, not quite though.
The thought of my family became numb in my mind. I finally cried out all of my tears, though I did still pray for them.
I sat on the living room floor with Arabell playing with Legos. Times like these with her always took my mind of everything. Sometimes I missed being a little kid.
She dropped the legos that were in her hands, a vision.
I then felt the pulling sensation of her pulling me into her vision.
We were still here in Australia. Arabell and I were on the beach together…our favorite place to be during the day. I saw Arabell stand up and start walking! She was walking! It took my breath away! Jacob walked up next to me, and wrapped his arms around my stomach. I looked down…
There was a small bulge under my shirt.
Arabell then pulled me out of the vision.
I knew then for sure that another baby was on the way.
Jacob POV
I spent most of my days with the girls. Whenever Sara and Bray left to go hunting, Nessie and I would spend some alone time together. Other times I would hang out with Bray in the garage and work on the cars with him. Whenever I wanted to be alone, I would go out on the more wooded area of the beach and phase. The beach was private, so I didn't really have to hide. That was the first time I missed hearing the guys' thoughts in my head.
I was in the kitchen cooking dinner with Nessie when I heard her scream with joy. I ran into the living room to find Arabell walking towards me.
"She's walking! She's walking!" Nessie kept yelling.
I bent down on my knees. "Come here girly."
Arabell walked towards me with the biggest smile on her face. I tickled her and kissed her cheeks. It felt like she was just born yesterday. Now she was walking. When I looked over at Renesmee…she just had this…this look on her face, this…glow about her. I just smiled back, walking over to give her a kiss.
Nessie POV
I feeding Arabell her lunch when the phone rang.
Sara picked it up. "Hello…Ellen!"
I ran over to Sara.
"Yes…yes okay she's right here."
Sara handed me the phone. "Ellen wants to talk to you."
Jacob and Bray walked in then. I put the phone on speaker so they could hear. Jacob wrapped his arm around my waist.
"Renesmee?"
"Yes I'm here. You're on speaker."
"Okay. That's fine. How are you guys holding up?"
"Ummm…well at the moment I guess we are doing pretty good."
"Is Arabell well?"
"Yes. She's doing great." I knew she wasn't calling just to check up on us. This was the first call we had got from her since last October."
"Well, I do have some news for you."
"Oh my gosh have you heard anything from Forks?"
"No, not exactly."
"What do you mean?" I asked, puzzled.
"Well, this…group of vampires, as I call them, split up around the middle of March. Half of them went to Asia to find any half human vampire breeds like you, and possibly have killed any vampires that support your kind. The bad news I have for you is, that about 70 vampires were reportedly on their way towards the West Coast. The remainder of these vampires went towards Spain."
I started shaking a little.
"How did you find this out?"
"I've been in contact with covens all over the country, as well as in Canada and South America. I haven't been in contact with your coven since you left us, but I've been told by a close friend in Seattle that they have a feeling that these vampires are headed towards your coven, and they have enforced a full team of vampires to come help your coven."
I eyes went wide.
"They're alive? They're still alive?" I said hysterically. "They are okay, you know that for sure?" I started crying, but these were tears of joy.
"Yes. Yes they are alive and well. They were hit by about 30 vampires back in January, but they fought them off just fine."
"Thank you Ellen, for calling. You don't even know how much struggle I've been in through these past couple of months."
"Stay strong Renesmee. I have a good feeling that they will be just fine. They have a few covens down there with them. Say hi to Arabell for me."
I laughed. "I will. We will talk to you soon?"
"Hopefully." She laughed. "Talk to you soon."
"Okay. Bye."
As soon as I hung up Jacob swung me around in his arms. I was laughing and crying at the same time. They were okay. They had help. Everyone was going to be okay.
I ran over to Arabell. "They're safe bells! They're alive!"
She giggled, bouncing up and down in her high chair.
It was nighttime as I walked down the beach with Jacob. It was just the two of us, for we had put Arabell to bed not too long ago.
I felt that now was the perfect time to tell Jacob the news.
"Jake?" I said as I stopped. He turned to face me.
I had a sly smile on my face. I was looking out at the water. Then back at him.
"What?" He laughed, a puzzled look on his face.
I grabbed his hand and looked into his eyes.
"What would you say about giving Arabell a sibling?"
When the realization of that sentence hit him, he picked me up and twirled me around, then he put me down and held me tight to his chest, kissing my head.
"Your sure, right?" He asked, wrapping a stray hair around my ear.
"Positive." I laughed. "Arabell kind of showed me."
He chuckled. "Can I see?"
I showed him her vision. For the rest of the night we walked together hand in hand under the midnight sky.
