Another chapter, I hope you enjoy this one.
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters, they belong to Stephanie Meyer, I'm just borrowing them.
I sat in a happy daze wrapped in Edward's strong, masculine, perfect arms, I would have been dozing had I still been human. I heard Rosalie tell some amusing anecdote about her father defenestrating one of his lackeys who landed in a wedding cake that was being transported from bakers nearby to a wedding. Cake and chocolate were other things I missed, blood was like a drug now but those two items of food had been so fantastically heavenly, even to my puny human senses.
A cheerful fire crackled in the fire place, it wasn't necessary but the Cullens seemed to like the sounds and smell the logs and pinecones made as they burned. Renesme was sitting in front of Jacob who was brushing her hair, making it gleam in the glow of the fire light. I sighted happily, I had been shocked and angry when Jacob had first imprinted her but now I realised Renesme was so lucky to have a guy who loved her as much as Edward loved me, who would always be there when she needed him, be whatever she wanted.
The room would have been too hot had the windows not been open allowing an icy breeze to move through the room. Carlisle and Esme quietly left the room, hand in hand, pausing in the doorway to kiss briefly before moving upstairs, they were soon followed by Alice and Jasper, then Emmet and Rosalie, Emmet shot a wink at Edward and me before patting Rosalie on the bottom as they left the room, I expected her to glare at him or make a snide comment but instead she giggled and dragged him upstairs.
Jacob made to leave with Renesme, his intentions may have been innocent, but I felt she should come back the cottage with us and Edward had stiffened as Jacob tried to direct Renesme out of the room. I called her over to us and Jacob shot me a slightly disgruntled look, I walked over to him.
'You can always see her tomorrow.' I murmured to him before kissing him on the cheek. I had to stand on tiptoes and he had to stoop slightly for me to be able to reach. He gave me a chaste kiss on the forehead before stalking out of the room. 'Come on Renesme, bed time.' I held my hand out to her, which she took, Edward held her other hand and we walked out of the house together. Renesme still needed to sleep, Carlisle had guessed that she would probably need sleep until she was fully grown, if she continued at this rate that would be before her first birthday.
I tucked Renesme up in bed with a mug of hot O- blood (her favourite). I was so glad that Carlisle worked in the hospital and had such easy access to fresh blood, Forks must be going through blood crisis at the moment considering how much Renesme drank.
By the time I reached our bedroom Edward was settled on the bed, reclining like a Grecian god, to be doted upon by adoring nymphs, his nose in a book on Deep Throat.
'Is that about a porno, it sounds like it.' Edward didn't seem to know whether or laugh or be annoyed, he gave a short laugh.
'It's about Watergate.' His gentle explanation took the sting out of his laughter.
'Hmm.' I wasn't convinced. 'I think my thoughts on deep throat sound a lot more fun.' I lifted the mind shield and showed him what I meant.
He groaned and pressed a kiss to my temple. 'Not tonight, Renesme is next door and I don't want her traumatised.' He murmured. It was a depressingly good point.
'Fine,' I muttered. Then I had a thought, it was one of those inane thoughts that pop into your head at the strangest and most inapropriate times. 'Edward, vampires exist right?'
'We're living proof darling,' he replied. His face seemed like it had been carved out of marble by the finest craftsmen, he made me think of David, or Adonis, except somehow more perfect than either of them. In the light of the lamp, his skin had almost a translucent quality. Fine traceries of veins lay submerged just below his skin.
'And so do werewolves.'
'Where are you going with this?' He sounded suspicious and more than a little amused.
'Do you think unicorns or I dunno... dragons also exist?'
Edward burst out laughing. 'Where do you get such thoughts, you really are priceless sometimes.' He managed through his laughter. I was a little bit angry that he laughed at me but he soon soothed my battered ego with some of his fantastic, perfect kisses.
We continued until the breaking dawn slowly turned the sky every shade of blue immaginable.
When we heard Reneseme stirring we stopped, I lay in his strong arms, feeling as safe and happy as it was possible to be.
Finally hunger pangs drove me from the bed, I needed blood. Even my perfect husband who had returned to reading his book on Watergate couldn't sate this thirst.
'I need to go hunting, do you want to join me?' I asked my Adonis, allowing my breath to tickle the perfect shell of his ear. Loving the way his hair curled under it and almost touched the immaculate lobe.
'I went hunting yesterday.' He reminded me, the timbre of his voice sending shivers down my spine.
'Of course. Well, I'll be back soon, then.' With a final kiss, I left the room to get dressed. I needed something pratical that Alice wouldn't mind me ruining if I got a bit carried away. I chose a tank top and a pair of denim shorts from the walk in closet. They had been mine before I was turned. Slipping on a pair of sneakers I went up to the house to find someone who would go hunting with me.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please Review if you did.
