Sorry this took me forever to get a new chapter up. I know it's been like months, but school and work and whatnot have been CRAZY busy. I promise to update it more often . This one is in Edwards POV.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"She's insane! Does she have any idea what could happen?! This is ridiculous; you need to stop her Edward! And what about Nessie?! We can't just leave her there by herself, and we definitely can't take her there!" Jacob shouted through the phone at me. I pinched the bridge of my nose. I agreed with everything he was saying, of course, but he knew Bella as well as I did, and we knew she wasn't going to change her mind.
"I know, I know… I've already tried to reason with her. Esme called the Weber's this afternoon to tell them we were coming. She must have told her to do it as soon as I was out of the house." I rolled my eyes, and shook my head remembering the smug smirk Bella was wearing earlier today when we'd run into the forest. "You know her Jacob, if she thinks she put us in danger she'd sacrifice anything to make it right again. And as for Renesmee, I think that's the only worry Bella has about this whole plan. She's got Rose and Emmett staying here with her, so she should be safe, but still…" I trailed off trying not to think about all the horrible things that could happen while we were gone.
"Yeah, I figured, still…she has to know this is a bad idea. How does she plan on hiding the fact that she looks nothing like the old Bella? I know people shy away from what you are, but they're not stupid, they're going to know something's wrong. I mean even when she moves…it's unnerving." Jacob stopped; probably picturing he first saw Bella walking across our lawn.
"Well, Alice had a few ideas that might help. Bella will be in a wheelchair for starters…she is still recovering after all. And apparently make-up can do wonders, according to Alice." I went over in my head what I had seen in hers a few hours before. We were wheeling Bella into the park in a wheelchair, with most of her covered by a blanket, and her face looking a little less pale and immortal. But it was still easy to tell she wasn't the Bella everyone remembers. Because of all the changing decisions Alice couldn't see people's reactions yet. I would feel much better if I could at least know the night would end with angry villagers throwing torches into our windows, led by Jessica Stanley. I thought her name bitterly. I had no idea that her love of the spotlight and hatred for Bella would cause this much destruction.
"Yeah I know when I talked to Bella today she gave me the lowdown of her brilliant plan. I'm still not happy about it but I don't think there's much we can do." Jacob said with a sigh. I could tell he was worried about Bella but much more worried about Renesmee, and how things could go wrong. I heard his breathing slow for a second, like he was hesitating. Finally he continued "Edward… the pack will be there, in case something happens, I don't know what we could do with all those people around, but I wanted you to know we're there for you guys. And Sam said he'll keep tabs on Jessica in case she brings around any unwanted guests."
"Thank you Jacob, it means a lot. I know you have a lot to do before tomorrow, and you should get some sleep, in a real bed this time, not outside our cottage on the ground. I'll see you tomorrow." I hung up the phone, and I couldn't help smile a bit. I knew how hard it was for him to say that to me. He'd hated me, my family, what we are for so long it must be hard to suddenly change everything you believe. I appreciated all he's done for my family immensely.
I was alone in the living room. Everyone was busy somewhere. Emmett and Rosalie were out hunting, so they'd be strong for tomorrow, they were on babysitting duty. Emmet was a little miffed he'd be missing Bella's public debut. He was sure she was going to do something to laugh about for the next hundred years, and he'd miss it. Alice and Carlisle took the car to get everything we would need to make Bella appear more human, Jasper went along also, of course. Bella and Esme were at the cottage with Renesmee picking out something for her to wear tomorrow and getting everything set up.
Night was rapidly approaching and I knew it would be a tense time for all of us. We had called Charlie earlier to tell him about the plan. It was going to take all he had to get through tomorrow without panicking. I felt horrible for having to involve him, I loved that it made Bella happy, but this is so much stress. Charlie's not exactly a young guy, what if all this ends up giving him a heart attack or something. I could feel an involuntary frown start to form on my lips at the thought of what we are hurting anyone else. I love that Bella and I can be together now forever, but I wouldn't have chosen this life for her. I can't count the hours we've spend arguing over this. The thought of her bloody lifeless body flashes through my mind…I didn't want it to happen like that. But of course; life, if you could call what I have a life, has a funny way of throwing you curveballs at the most horrible times. Like right now. Our priority should be finding more about Renesmee, and how to keep her safe, not keeping Jessica and friends at bay.
"If you think too hard your brain might explode…" Rosalie smirked. I'd been thinking so hard about what was to come I didn't even hear her approach. She was standing in the doorway out to the backyard staring me. My face in deep thought must have looked a bit amusing.
"Oh, thank you Rosalie, that's very helpful" I snapped playfully. I was still worried, but for some reason Rosalie and I fighting with each other felt normal, like it could just be another boring day in the Cullen house, where no one was after us, and there were no new horrible hurtles to jump over.
"Edward…" her thoughts were jumbled and emotional, I looked at her, slightly confused. She started again, this time out loud. "I know you're worried about Bella and about Renesmee, but you can breathe a little easier. Emmett and I will be here, and we're not going to let her out of our sight. You know she's safe with me Edward, I would die before I let anything hurt her or put her in danger." Every word she spoke radiated with sincerity and I felt such love for my sister. I knew that with her and Emmett here, Renesmee would be the safest she could be, and it helped ease the tension. We both stood there, quite, almost awkward. I knew she was against almost all of my decisions in this life and we had never seen exactly eye to eye on anything. This was a huge thing for her. There were a few more moments of silence, and then she smiled and regained her composure. Her thoughts we ordered and more like the Rosalie I've come to know. "Now, let's go find that wife of yours and start this makeover. …Well, can you still call it a makeover if we're trying to make her look uglier?" She asked me with a playful smile. I got up and followed her out the door to the cottage, it was a rare moment that I was thankful to have Rosalie for a sister.
