Chapter 42:
Raining Giant Snowballs
"Bella" Edward called and I turned to see him walking towards me.
"Hi" I said stupidly. I had only been a couple meters away from him and I already missed him.
"Hi. I have come to warm you. You have just set of the terrible and all mighty Ali—"
"Bella!! Nessie! Can I please take you shopping? Please????" she begged,
"No!" we answered at the same time and she pouted while the rest of the family laughed.
Nessie touched my hand and asked me a favor. I looked down at her smiling. She definitely got her mischief from Edward's side of the family. I quickly made in illusion and everyone watched in awe as it worked.
"Actually, I do need a new wardrobe" illusion me said.
"Yeah, and I could use a couple new shirts. Why not?" illusion Nessie added.
"Really??? Awesome! Bye guys! We're going shopping!" Alice said as she walked out with and illusion Nessie and I.
"5 . . . 4 . . . 3" Nessie counted. " . . .2 . . .1 . . .0"
"What the . . . Bella!!" she said as she came running back into the house. "That wasn't nice" she pouted as everyone laughed.
"Blame her" I said as I pointed to Nessie.
"You guys are mean" she said as she sat down on the couch.
"That was pretty good. It takes a lot to trick a vampire" Edward said behind me making me jump.
"Bella, I have some questions" Carlisle said and I nodded, already anticipating it.
I sat on Edward lap while Nessie sat next to us. Alice sat with Jasper and Rosalie sat with Emmett. Carlisle and Esme faced us.
"So, I was curious as to how you were able to conceive Nessie" he said and I looked at him a bit strangely.
"Umm . . . well . . . we . . . " I couldn't find a way to phrase it adequately.
"They had sex Carlisle, it's not that hard to figure out, you especially being the doctor" Nessie said.
"You actually got some?!?! And all these years I still thought you were a prissy" Emmett said earning a slap from both Edward and Rosalie.
"But how is it possible" Carlisle asked.
"Carlisle, I really don't know but it is. I found out a couple days after you guys left. The whole pregnancy lasted only a month. I had a rare stroke of luck that day in the woods when I blacked out. I guess some vegetarian vampire found me or I really don't know but he got Nessie out and then bit me" I explained.
"That's why she can bleed and has a heartbeat. Nessie is half-human and half-vampire because I'm her dad and Bella was her mom, but human at the time" Edward explained.
Everyone was quiet for a minute, absorbing the information. Now that I told Edward's family, I just had to deal with mine. Ugh, that was not going to be pleasant. With the powers they had, Electricity, shape-shifting, invisibility, emotions, fire, water, air, earth . . . not good. Maybe . . . I could always wrap my shield around Edward . . . no, that would leave him full out access to my thoughts. I still want to keep that little secret. I could also . . .
"That's it!" I said suddenly making Nessie jump.
"What is it love?" Edward asked.
"I figured it out, a way to deal with my family" I said happily and then turned to Carlisle. "Would you mind if I invited my family over . . . right now?" I asked them.
"Not at all honey, I would love for your family to come" Esme answered and I nodded happily.
I grabbed my cell phone out of my pocket and walked outside to call Sophie.
"Hey Bella! So, how's your day with Nessie so far?" she asked and I was aware of everyone listening inside. "Fine, is everyone there?"
"No, Will and Mel went out hunting but they should be back soon. They weren't going out very far" she explained.
"Okay, as soon as they get home, can all of you guys head to the Cullen's house?" I asked softly.
"What?! The Cullen's house?! Why??"
"Soph, would you please just come" I said.
"Okay" she finally answered and hung up.
"Yes!" I said as I jumped up and down happily
"I'm guessing your brilliant plan worked" Edward said as he wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Of course. Would you like to hear it?" I asked and he nodded quickly.
"Okay, so I get my family to come here and I tell them . . . and then hopefully with all of your family—"
"They're your family to you know" he interrupted.
"Okay, with all of our family here, maybe they can . . . well, I'll wing it from there. The brilliant part was telling them without you getting hurt possibly" I said and he nodded seriously.
"Would you mind if I looked around, inside you know, while we wait?" I asked.
"No, of course not, I'm sorry for not asking before" he said as he lead me inside.
This time, I took a good look around. To the immediate right was a small wall and an arc which led to a music area where Edward's piano stood, big and majestic. It brought back so many memories.
"Come here" he said as he led me to the piano.
He lifted the cover and began to play and I immediately recognized the song. It was my lullaby. I leaned against him happily as he played it. It felt like when he first brought me to his house, all those years ago. So much had change. It ended and I smiled.
"Thank you, that was beautiful" I said as I kissed him softly.
"Mom! That's the song that you—"
"So Ness" I said looking at her sternly for a second. "When was the last time you hunted" I said randomly as I looked at her now black eyes.
"A while ago" she admitted. "But how can you tell?" she asked curiously.
"Oh, I've kept up the illusion for so long it's become natural" I said to her sheepishly.
"Oh!" she said as she looked at her reflection. "I was wondering why they didn't ask about the eyes" she commented.
"Her eyes?" Edward asked curiously.
"Yeah" I said as I removed the illusion.
Her eyes were a deep chocolaty brown, just like mine used to be.
"She got your hair but my eyes" I said.
"They remind me of you . . . from before" he said quietly and I nodded sadly as I got up and resumed my 'tour' of the house. To the left was another small wall and a lot of decorations with the dining table was set to the far left. There were a pair of double doors that seemed to lead to a private room. In the center, of the house was of course, the big living room.
There was the couches and chairs, the coffee table and the huge TV screen. I could see the beginnings of the kitchen to the far back on the right. On the far back left stood the grand staircase. Behind it stood a wall made mostly of glass, which opened up to an incredible huge backyard. It had a lot of gadgets and an enormous pool.
"A pool?" I asked incredulously. "In Montana . . . a pool?"
"Hey, it freezes up nicely for skating" he defended it and I smiled.
I walked to the back of the house and walked into the backyard.
"Wait . . . it's snowing!" I said, surprised as I stepped on white fluffy stuff and felt little cotton ball things brush against my face.
"Yeah, maybe you should head inside" Edward said.
"Why? Now, snow is fun" I said as I picked up some, rolled it into a ball and launched it at him.
It his him straight in the face, splattering off to the sides.
"That's how you want to play it huh?" he said as he picked up snow and launched it back at me.
I jumped to the side, narrowly avoiding the hit. The bad part, I jumped straight for the pool. I landed with a thud and began sliding across.
"It is frozen!" I said, unaware that I was making a complete fool of myself by literally sliding on my butt across the huge expanse of the pool.
I tried to get up but I slipped and fell on my butt again.
"I thought I was done being uncoordinated!" I whined as I tried once again to get up and failed.
"Need some help" Edward laughed as he glided over to me gracefully.
"Of course" I said as he extended his hand but instead of grabbing it, I pulled him down into the ice and wobbled/slid across the huge pool.
"Gotcha!" I said as I tried my best to crawl.
"Come here you little schemer" he said as he glided over to me.
I slid back just as he was about to grab me and he slid right into the snow. I couldn't help it. I fell back on the ice laughing. I felt so blissfully happy it wasn't even comprehendible.
"I'm sorry . . . but you . . . and I slipped . . . and . . . Hahaha!" I said between my laughs.
"Laugh all you want" Edward said as he got up holding a massive snowball.
My eyes widened and I tried to crawl to the edge.
"Edward you wouldn't dare!" I said as he walked over, grinning mischievously.
"Maybe . . . maybe not" he said as he threw the snowball over the house towards the front porch.
"What in the world was that?!?!" called a familiar voice.
"It's raining huge snowballs!" another familiar voice called.
"Yeah Alex, suddenly, it's raining huge snowballs" Will said mockingly.
"They're here" I whispered and Edward nodded, picking me up and carrying me bridal style back to the living room.
"That wasn't necessary" I mumbled.
"No, but if I didn't, you would've spent weeks trying to get out of my pool" he chuckled and I rolled my eyes.
He put me down right around his family, keeping hold of only my hand. Nessie looked at me curiously and I nodded.
"Here we go" I mumbled as I walked to the door.
