"Over here," Jake shouted from inside the boat.
The boat was massive, it was similar to a boat you would get on if you were going on a cruise and we were only going on it for half an hour to 45 minutes maximum. The island was a little far away from the main land. Edward, Nessie and I walked swiftly towards the boat. Edward gave Nessie to Jake, and she started playing with his spiked hair which he cut again not too long ago.
"Where is everyone?" asked Edward. I was just about to ask the same thing but Edward got in before me.
"They are all in the lounge. All your luggage is in the lounge along with all of ours. The boat will be leaving the dock in a minute and we are the only ones on it including the captain and a few staff members." Jacob explained very quickly.
"Ok, Jake, Where are you going?" I asked as he walked down the hallway of the boat with Nessie in his arms.
"Exploring," was all he said smiling and he walked out of sight.
Edward took my hand and we walked down the hallway, down the stairs into the big lounge where everyone sat relaxed and calmly talking. Rosalie was lying on Emmett's lap looking at the tattoo again. I wanted to be really nosy and ask what happened upstairs but my mind was telling me to keep it shut. Carlisle had his arm around Esme and they were just talking about something out of my hearing range and Alice and Jasper were talking to the captain up in the deck. The boat started, Edward and I went over to the couch on which everyone else was sitting and sat down beside the others. Edward pulled me gently onto his lap.
"Can I get you anything?" The bartender called over to all of us as he was wiping a glass dry.
"No thank you, we're fine," Carlisle answered.
The bartender nodded his head and went back to cleaning the glasses. Alice, Jasper and the Captain of the boat, named Tyler came down from the deck to join us.
"Hello, my name is Tyler," The Captain said shaking Carlisle's hand.
"Hello, I'm Carlisle and this is my family," Carlisle replied pointing to us all.
"Nice to meet you all," He said nodding his head in our direction. "The crew were at the island earlier just checking on things and it's very bare, there aren't much people there especially at this time of year." Tyler informed us surprised at our timing for the holiday.
Today was Thursday 26th March, Charlie was going to the game in two days and it was Nessie's birthday on the 4th April, two days after we come back from the holiday.
"Yea, we know but this was the only time we would have the whole family together. They are all going their seperate ways for the summer vacation." Carlisle lied very convincingly as Tyler quickly fell for it.
"Well I must be getting back ," Tyler said politley, "I just wanted to introduce myself."
"Not a problem, Captain, Thank you" Alice grinned as Carlisle was about to speak.
"Alice, you do know you can call me Tyler," Tyler laughed.
"Yes, Captain" Alice replied and we all laughed. Tyler just shook his head as he headed up to the deck.
"Oh guys, about Nessie's birthday, one of the gifts Bella and I are getting her is a teddy bear with her name on it with the teddy bear holding a personalised message from the two of us. I'm just letting you all know so you don't get the same thing and you all know one of the gifts Jake has got her so obviously don't be getting that either." Edward pointed out.
"No problem have you decided how we are going to celebrate?" Alice asked obviously wanting to give her suggestion before hearing ours and we all knew what her suggestion was going to be.
"Well Edward suggested something special with just Nessie, Jake, Edward and I to start with" I told them all of Edward's great suggestion, "then a surprise party that night to finish the day of" I finished looking in Alice's direction.
"Yes, Bella, a surprise party, you know I would never have thought of something like that," Alice smirked sarcastically.
"Of course you wouldn't have Alice, that's not what you were thinking at all" I played along.
Alice smiled in my direction. We looked at our company and they were all smiling our way. Alice and I both exchanged looks at each other then laughed.
"That's a lovely idea Edward, I think she'll love it," Esme commented.
"Thanks Mum" Edward replied.
"Have you all made any plans on what you are getting Nessie?" I asked them curiously.
"Clothes, Clothes and more clothes," Alice laughed, "and of course i'll get her a few bits of jewellery, she love jewellery."
"That's lovely Alice, she'll love that especially the jewellery," I smiled though I knew Alice was going to get her clothes anyway.
"Emmett and I were thinking along the lines of a camera and a photo album, the same thing your Mum and Dad got you, Bella but that's only a same thing, we haven't thought of a big thing yet, well Emmett thought of a quad bike..." Rosalie was cut of.
"Absolutely not" Edward interrupted disgusted.
"but of course we knew you and Edward wouldn't allow it." Rosalie finished.
"That's very thoughtful of you both," Edward calmly said.
"Well unfortunately Carlisle and I have thought of alot of gifts but none of them are good enough for Nessie" Esme explained.
"I'm sure whatever you get Nessie will be lovely" I smiled at them.
"Thanks Bella" replied Carlisle.
"Ssssh, Nessie and Jake are coming down the stairs," Alice informed.
We turned our heads to the sound of Jake's laugh and Nessie's giggles coming down the stairs. What are they laughing at, I wondered. Jake and Nessie appeared in front of us coming over to sit down. They were completely drenched, soaked from head to toe and Nessie didn't seem to mind which was really unusual.
"Did someone die?," Jake joked at the silence contained in the room.
"No, what happened to you two?," I asked with curiousity building inside me.
"Nessie and I were up on the top floor where the pool is, and there were 5 dolphins playing in the sea. One of the dolphins jumped up out of the water soaking us, then another one tried to join in and Nessie and I, forgetting the pool was behind us took a step back and fell into the pool. When we got out of the pool we were completely soaked worse than this and the dolphins starting laughing. I, wondering what the dolphins would do, stuck my hand out to them and they all dived out of the sea and hit my hand with their fins one by one. One of the staff members on the top deck of the boat were looking at Nessie and I wondering what the heck we were doing. We were in tears laughing. I think he thought I was a psycho. It was the most hilarious thing I have seen in a long time." Jake explained.
Jake and Nessie both started laughing again. I joined in and before I knew it everyone was in stitches laughing.
"Come on Ness, Let's get you dried of a little," I said getting up of Edward's lap and taking Nessie of Jake. I went over to a table beside the bar and lifted two towels of it.
"Here Jake," I said throwing the towel at him.
"Nice throw" he laughed catching the towel.
"Nice catch" I replied.
I sat down on Edward's lap with Nessie on my lap and I dried her hair cautious not to ruin any of her curls. After I ran the towel over her, I wrapped it around her.
"Momma, are we nearly here?" Nessie asked me.
This was also Nessie's first time on a boat too, "Nearly, why do you not like boats?" I asked her.
"I do, This travelling is just making me tired" She replied yawning.
"Not long to go now there's only 10 minutes," I reassured her.
"Ok," She said jumping of my lap and running over to Jake with the towel still wrapped around her.
"Do you wanna go for a walk before we get of the boat?" Edward asked quietly whispering in my ear.
"Yea" I said turning my head around so I was looking at his face.
"Bella and I are going to go for a walk around the boat before we get off," Edward announced to the others.
"Ok" Esme answered.
"You coming Nessie?" Edward asked.
"Nope, i'm just gonna stay here with Jake, if that's alright Daddy" Nessie replied.
"Yes that's alright," Edward replied to her taking my hand.
Edward and I walked up the stairs into the fresh air. It was really warm and the sun was out but Edward and I made sure we stayed in the shade.
"Are we going to put the coats on?" I asked him.
"Yea, here you go," He answered handing me one of them. They were very light and very thin. I quickly put the coat on before anyone saw us. It covered our faces too and was cut at the eyes, ears and mouth of it so you wouldn't notice you had it on. It was professionally done as it didn't even look like a coat, it just looked like our normal skin. It was as if it had been fitted for our body type and fitted perfectly.
"You can't even notice that we have it on" I said shocked.
"I know, They are great aren't they?, we rarely use them but when we do they help out alot and no one realises we have it on, they just think it's our skin," Edward explained.
"Let's test it," I laughed and stepped out of the shade into the sunlight. I looked at my arm's and they weren't sparkling. "Wow!"
Edward laughed and we walked down to the other end of the boat hand in hand. We walked past two of the staff members, they were both men and they were two preoccupied talking they hadn't even noticed we walked past. Edward and I turned the corner and stopped, listening in on the conversation so they wouldn't see us. Edward was already in giggles.
"What are you laughing at?" I asked him.
"Listen," was all he said.
"Yea, the big tan guy, well he was with the little baby girl, they seem to be close, I think he is a brother to the mother or father of the girl, I'm not sure. Anyway they were up on the top floor and when I walked up they were in the pool, soaked and in tears laughing so much. I was really confused. Next thing I knew they were out of the water and the tan guy went over to the edge of the boat with the little girl in his arms, stuck his hand out and all the dolphins one by one jumped out of the sea and hit his hand with their fins then they started laughing again. After that I just watched him. I thought he was a psycho, I was actually scared for the little girl." One of the men explained to the other.
Edward and I burst out laughing. I couldn't contain my laughter much longer. The men heard us and we ran quickly to the other end of the boat before they saw us.
"Did you hear that?" Edward asked laughing.
"Come on, we have to tell Jake and Nessie," I replied grabbing his hand and dragging him to the other end of the boat. We walked down the stairs into the lounge. Everyone was staring at us.
"What were you both laughing at?" Emmett asked, "you could hear you from a mile away"
"We'll tell you when we get off the boat," I answered lifting our luggage. The boat stopped and we all walked upstairs. The Captain was there waiting to tell us goodbye.
"Goodbye, Have a nice time," Tyler said.
"We will, Thank you very much," Carlisle replied shaking his hand.
The two men appeared beside the Captain. Edward and I walked down the steps of the boat before anyone else as soon as we saw them. The others followed wondering why we were so eager to get of the boat.
"Now will you tell me what you were laughing at and why were you two so eager to get of the boat when them two men came around?" Emmett asked again when we were all off the boat. Everyone was listening, Edward and I looked at each other and started laughing again. It wasn't actually that funny, it was just how the man said it and how serious he sounded when he said about Jake being a psycho and how he was scared for Nessie. The boat sailed away again in the other direction.
"Ok....." I began. "but before I start I'm surprised you even know what the word eager means Emmett."
Edward laughed under his breath at my comment and Emmett just replied, "Ha Ha, yea, Bella your hilarious, now tell us what happened."
