Chapter 2:

The Mall

I was glad I took a few steps back. She literally flew into the mall, knocking the family nearby over. Edward and Bella rushed to hold them up so they wouldn't fall. They apologized really quickly so the people probably didn't understand. I made out the words crazy, sugar rush, dangerous and leash. Probably explaining Alice.

I shook my head in disapproval,. The last thing this world need is a vampire obsessed with shopping. We ran inside but I froze. Bella and Edward raced on. I just stared at the mall. I didn't like shopping but this mall was gorgeous. I shook my head to get the thoughts out. Must be another vamp nearby or Alice is turning me into a girl.

As they raced back, I saw Edward chuckling.

"What" Bella asked.

"I just thought I saw Alice" I lied.

"I think I know where she is" the blood sucker said as he lead us into Nautica. It was perfect! Right in front of where I had stopped. I walked in and fell down when a pile of clothes crushed me.

I heard Bella and Edward laugh as I tried to get up with about 100 pounds of clothes. That's when I noticed the pixie was on top of me along with the clothes.

"Someone needs to work out more" she said as she grabbed all the clothes and jumped down.

"I was just taken by surprise, that's all" I said in my defense.

"Mmhmm. Riiiiiiight" she said as she towed me to the dressing room. She made us all go into the biggest one which was huge.
"Wait!!" You're not going to wait here while I change are you?" I asked horrified.

"NO! Of course not. I bet no one here . . . except maybe Bella" she muttered real softly. That earned her a glare form Bella. "Wants to see you naked Jacob. we are just going to pick out outfits" she replied.

They all chose how I would wear them. Even Edward. I must have changed clothes almost 50 times before we finally left. They paid for it as we exited the store. I had tons of new clothes.

"Is that it" I asked hopefully.

"Not even close Jacob" Alice replied as she towed us into Polo Ralph Lauren. The deal was the same. Try on a million outfits, buy 10. It was crazy. By the time we stopped at the food court, I was positively gasping for air.

"I don't know" gasp "How" gasp "Girls" gasp "Enjoy this" I said as I literally fell on the table.

"Awww Jake. It isn't so bad. We are about half way there" Bella said.

I looked at her eyes desperate. I couldn't take much more. Alice and Edward were off buying me lunch. She looked up and a guilty expression washed over her face. She thought it was her fault!

"Hey, it's okay. it's not your fault . . . and don't deny you weren't thinking about it because I saw it in your eyes" I said.

It would have helped if my legs weren't wobbling under the table.

"Jake, 3 more stores and that's it. Promise. Alice already bought everyone else's stuff so your safe. I don't know how many more bags my convertible can hold" she said as she laughed.

"Thanks Bells" I told her just as Edward and Alice got back with my lunch and their props.

"Bella, your going to ruin all my fun" Alice complained.

"Hey, Alice, at least we are here, because of me I might add, so I say we leave in 1 hour" she declared.

"Fine" fine Alice grumbled.

I started to eat. Mmmmmm. Moes burritos are delicious. I was enjoying my lunch when Edward and Bella started getting all lovey dovey on each other. I felt part of the burritos start to climb up my throat.

"Guys!" I complained. "Could you cut it out! I'm eating and I like it when food stays in my stomach" I told them.

Bella looked as if she would be blushing when she pulled away and looked down.I finished and we went to the remainder of the stores. Mostly accessories. I bought 3 watches and some sunglasses. The best part was when I could sit down when I was trying on shoes. My feet felt as if they were going to fall off. That was about all I did in that 1 hour.

"That was fun" Alice said as we left. "We have to do it again"

I groaned. "That is very low on my list of 'fun' ways to spend a day" I said.

I was on the precipice of having Bella carry me but I vowed to make it to her convertible. It seemed like such a long distance, I almost gave up.

"Renesmee is home" Bella whispered in my ear.

I don't know where I got the energy but I was suddenly sprinting to the car. I got in the front seat just as Bella opened the door. I couldn't wait to see Renesmee. I wish she would just hurry up already. All you have to do is put the keys in the ignition and go. I heard Edward growl. I hadn't noticed he was already here.

"Once Alice stuffs all the bags in the trunk, we can leave" he told me through his teeth.

'Don't you want to see your daughter' I thought taunting him.

He went completely silent. Alice got in and we raced down the interstate. Sometime during the drive, I fell asleep. The last thing I remember was hearing Edward growl "Of course I do", and I was out.

"Jake" a voice called. I closed my eyes tighter not wanting to wake up.

"Jake!" It now yelled. I recognized Bella's annoyed voice.

I smiled but kept my eyes shut. Suddenly, I felt 2 hands push on my arm and I hit the ground. My eyes snapped open as I jumped up. We were at their house . . . *cough* mansion *cough*. It actually looked a lot like their old house. I heard various people laughing.

"You are one heavy sleeper" Bella laughed as she hit my arm softly.

I hardly heard her. I only heard Nessie's laughter. I ran inside and picked her up bridal style in my arms. I couldn't pick her up and cradle her as much in my arms. She was almost as big as Bella now. Renesmee giggled. She had a yellow shirt on with jeans and tennis shoes. Her hair was pulled back into a messy ponytail and her shirt was stained with blood.

"Hi Jake" she said.

"Hi. I missed you a lot"

"I know, so did I" she said.

"Come on, I want to show you something" I said as I pulled her up the stairs.

"Jacob" The bloodsu Edward called.

"Hmm?" I wondered.

"School starts in 2 days so we have to get you registered" he informed us.

We both whined.

"Can I please show Nessie what I want and then we can go" I pleaded.

"Yeah, please daddy" Nessie begged.

I almost laughed, Nessie always said daddy instead of dad when she wanted something. I looked at Edward and his eyes were torn. He looked at Bella. Yes!

"Okay, but don't take too long, we don't want the office to close and we have to register also" she said.

"Thanks Bells" I said as we ran upstairs.

Suddenly, Alice was in front of me with a bag from Nautica and looked me over with disapproving eyes.

"Change" she ordered.

I didn't argue. Alice always got her way or you lost something you liked, like a certain car that took months to make becomes a pile of ashes. I heard Edward chuckle downstairs.

"Fine" I said as I grabbed the bag and continued upstairs.

"Did you have fun shopping" Nessie asked as I led her to her room.

"It was terrible" I told her.

She just laughed.

I started leaving the room so I could change.

"Jake, where are you going" she said with sad eyes.

"I need to change and I think you do too unless you want to give the office a heart attack" I said laughing as I looked at her shirt.

She blushed and pushed me out.

"I'll be out in a sec." she said.
