Chapter 2: Chapter 2
The First Day of Forever.
II. Plans
We were at it for hours planning out every little aspects of this grand occasion. Renesmee would be coming home soon and I couldn't wait to hear about her day, it had only been about three hours since she had left, and it has already been so hard being apart from her.
Edward has been with me through out the day, comforting me although I doubt I let on any feeling of sadness, I bet he felt the same way. "Come on Bella we wont be able to surprise Nessy, if we are still planning when she gets here. So stop zoning out" Alice said with a pushy tone, I didn't mind it because I knew she was right. Edward nudged me with a kidding smile,
"Yeah like she doesn't already know that her aunts are going overboard" I said but started to pay attention to them again. We continued planning for a few more hours every few minutes lifting my shield to let Edward know if we were done yet, every time he chuckled and I did too. Alice and Rosalie would just glare at us, as if we were doing brain surgery and I was fooling around.
I had let out my shield around the time I knew she would be coming home, so that I could feel her light as she entered it. I had started to become very impatient, and Edward could feel it.
"I think this is enough for today Nessy will be coming home soon and we shouldn't still be planning just incase she were to walk in." he said to help me. "As if we wouldn't hear her from a mile away chill Edward" Rosalie said in her beautiful voice.
Just then Edward smiled, "Well there's no point in arguing now she's here!" he said as he heard her thoughts. Just as he said it I was out the door running towards her scent.
I only had to run for about half a minute, before I came to find her and Jacob walking hand in hand towards the house. "Hi Nessy!" I said so fast no human would've heard it, Edward was right behind me as I said it and laughed.
"Hi Mommy Hi Daddy" she responded in her regular hi soprano, but I caught I small sense of sadness that maybe I thought up in her voice. I didn't want to say anything as we hugged for a minute. We started to walk home, with Nessy still in my arms I started to ask her about her day.
"So how was it? I want to know every single minute" I said. Edward gave me a knowing look "Nessy your mother can wait, you need to get home and eat some lunch im sure your hungry!" he said. I just looked at him with a confused look, I lifted my shield and asked "What's wrong?" to him.
He gave me a look then said, "Jacob why don't you and Nessy race home we will meet you there?" Jacob just smiled and gave Nessy a look "As if she could beat me!" he said. Nessy smiled and was off like a bullet.
I then looked at Edward with a questioning look. "She saw all the kids at her school today, with there parents, none looked like us and although she knows our family is special she still felt different." he said in a low voice. I was shocked and angry at the same time, my Renesmee was the most beautiful, kind hearted child in the world and I didn't want her thinking of herself as less then some human child. "But she isn't.
Our baby is perfect Edward, she must never think of herself as lesser then that." I said fuming. "Well we know that but she is new to this world, where she is unique." he said. "Love don't feel bad, we just need to talk to her tonight.
We must explain to her that this world we live in has more then just us." I nodded. We then reached the main house again. Nessy was in Rosalie's lap retelling her day to the entire family, who were fully focused in her little story.
We sat on the other side and started to listen also. Edwards arms were around me, while I listened to her story of finger painting for the first time and surprising her teacher when she was the first to ask to read a book, I thought about this motherly reaction to what Edward had told me. It felt so weird to be in this relationship, where I had been her only a little over a year ago with Renee.
The day passed quickly we finally said our goodnights to the family and started to walk home hand in hand. When we reached the river Nessy flew over it just landing a couple yards away from the cottage. She giggled as she scared off a squirrel.
We were finally inside and I was making Nessy her dinner, as I thought to Edward what we would say. When I finally finished Nessy's dinner we sat down with her to dinner, although we weren't eating. "So honey, your father was telling me of how you really felt today and I thought we should explain to you why" I said.
She looked at me with a bit of embarrassment for not telling us before. "I didn't know what to say mommy." she said. "So honey you know your mother and I are vampires and so is the rest of our family. You also know that Jacob is a wolf and that your Grandpa Charlie and Grandma Renee are humans" Edward said. She nodded. "But honey everyone out of those people wont be like us, or will they accept us as others might" I added.
Edward then touched both our hands and said, "Well Nessy what we are trying to tell you is that we are unique our entire family, and at school just be yourself and you will see that everyone will love you as we do. And never feel scared or embarrassed to let us know how you really feel."
We fell silent for a bit, "Ok , I didn't mean to I just didn't know" she sighed. We continued to talk until Nessy started to yawn. Edward and I carried Nessy over to her bed, where we read her some poems from her favorite book.
She then quietly fell asleep. Edward then pulled me over on to his lap in our bedroom, "I know you still feel a bit of difficulty with this whole mother thing but your doing great, she understood completely and now feels much better about herself" he said. And with that all my foolish concerns disappeared into the night with him.
