Chapter 2
Alice watched as Edward paced the floor of their cottage home, going back and forth along the living room floor, a smile wanted to appear on her pixie like face, but she wouldn't let it while her eyes watched his moving form. "What if the Volturi comes tonight, and finds her send, and tracks it to Charlie's", said Edward, the features of his face showing nothing, but worry. She had been listening to this since they had gotten home from Charlie's almost an hour and a half ago so Alice decided to play with him a little. "Yes Edward they could be on their way to Charlie's right now, but you don't need to worry Charlie has a gun", said Alice, the grin she had been hiding instantly on her face. Edward had his back to her, but she was sure he knew she was joking, but he didn't, his hands balled up into fists, and she heard him stop breathing. Edward turned around to face her ridged as a bored, his eyes wide, and Alice slowly got off the couch and walked towards him.
"Oh my god I have to go get her", whispered Edward, starting towards the door with the type of speed only a vampire would have. As he was inches from the door Edward felt something grab him from behind and pull onto the couch, he was dazed for a moment realizing it was Alice who now had him held down so he couldn't move. She held his hands over his head as he continued to struggle, but she used all her strength to keep him in place. "Alice let me go", ordered Edward, as he finally gave up his struggle, and looked up into her sweet loving face. "No Edward you have to realize Nessie is almost sixteen, she can take care of herself, Edward she will be fine Charlie is chief of police, he can protect her, and if the Volturi were coming I would have seen it and I haven't, now I'm gonna let you up please don't leave", said Alice as she got off Edward and sat next to him on the couch.
As she let him up Edward realized how stupid he had been, but he still couldn't help but worry, and as Alice sat next to him not looking at him he suddenly pulled her back onto his lap. "Alice I'm sorry, but she's never been away from home before, and if something were to happen to her I don't know what I would do", whispered Edward, as he took both Alice's hands in his. Alice looked at him a smile forming on her face, and she kissed him gently on the lips. "Edward don't you think I feel the same way she's like a daughter to me", said Alice, looking down at him. "It's not the same Alice, if I lost Nessie it would be like losing Bella all over again, and I can't lose her twice", whispered Edward, looking over Alice's shoulder at the picture of Bella that sat on their mantle.
Alice understood and hugged him tightly before taking his face into her hands and making him look her in the eye. "I know Renesme is all you have left of Bella, but your forgetting that Renesme is just like Bella and their both free spirits and they don't want to be tamed, your trying to tame Nessie just like Charlie tried to tame Bella, you don't want her to start calling you Edward instead of dad do you", asked Alice, watching as he nodded no. Edward calmed down when he felt her arms around him, and began to just enjoy the feeling of her closeness. He looked up into her fairy face, caressing her cheek before pulling her into a passion filled kiss. She kissed him back, slipping her tongue into his mouth and letting it play with his as her slid his hands up her shirt gently rubbing her back.
Edwards's hands found the clasp of her bra, and as he tried with frustration to unclasp it in his mind wishing he could just rip it off, but Alice got mad at him when he ripped her clothes, but then Alice broke the kiss suddenly. Alice got up from Edwards lap; taking his hand she led him down the hall and into their bedroom, locking the door behind her. The couple undressed each other, and soon they were on the bed together, Edward on top of her, spreading her legs and entering her hard making her moan loudly. They made love passionately, kissing and moaning and screaming each other's names. Edward sucking Alice's breasts and making love to her after licking her clean, fingering her till she was dripping wet. Afterwards Alice felt his arms around her as they lay together in bed, moaning when both his hands seemed to find her large melon like breasts, his lips finding her cold stone neck and kissing it tenderly. "Thank you for calming me down Ally, I was overreacting a lot I'm sorry", whispered Edward as his lips found her ear.
Alice smiled when he used he used his special nickname for her, the name he only called her when it was just the two of them. Edward called her Ally short for Alice of course but also because he claimed she was like an ally cat when they made love. She turned to face him, putting a hand on his chest and climbing on top of him as she started to kiss him slowly. Their tongues rolled around together as they teased one another, Edward startling when she let her hand grip and stroke his hard member. Their kiss broke and their eyes locked as Edward through his head back, and Alice positioned him at her entrance letting him enter her again. She began to move herself over his member, moaning his name and cussing, until Edward rolled on top of her and began to fuck her hard bringing them both to a long orgasm. They laid in each others arms, Edwards member was still inside Alice as they rolled to a comfortable position, where Alice laid her head on his chest, and Edward smiled entwining her in his arms.
The couple stayed like that for the rest of the night, until the morning came, and the two got up and got dressed. Leaving the cottage Edward and Alice went hunting, Edward watched as Alice gracefully attacked a dear, pinning it to the ground before killing it painlessly by snapping its neck, and finally drinking all the blood inside. Next Edward found another deer watching as it quietly came into the valley where they hid, and without hesitation he launched himself at it, killing it instantly. After both of them were strong and fed, Edward and Alice began to walk their hands intertwined to the mansion where the rest of the family waited.
Despite Edwards hurry to get to the mansion Alice made him walk slowly as if he were a human, she refused to allow him to zoom there. She knew the minute they got to the mansion he would want to go get Nessie at Charlie's so he could watch and protect her once again. When the mansion came into their view Edward attempted to zoom away, but was grabbed by Alice, who turned him to face her. She pulled him into a tight embrace, smiling up at him before kissing him lightly on the mouth. The couple continued to the mansion arm in arm at Alice's human pace, stopping only to kiss each other.
They entered the mansion the picture of love, greeting the rest of the family, and as Alice sat down on a couch, Edward began to pace asking when they would go get Nessie. Immediately they saw how anxious he was to leave, and go to Charlie's. While Edward and Alice were at the cottage rekindling their love, Renesme remained at Charlie's. Together they talked about her mom, Nessie asking every question that popped into her head. Again Nessie showed Charlie the picture she had shown him before. "Grandpa who is this with you in this photo", asked Nessie, her eyes never leaving the photo or Charlie.
Charlie took the photo from her, looking at it sometime before answering her, a hint of sadness and anger evident in his voice. "This was taken at the hospital the day after your mom was born", answered Charlie, tears brimming at his eyes. Renesme nodded she already knew what the picture was of, so she pointed to the woman in the picture. "Could you tell me more about this woman grandpa, who is she", this seemed to make Charlie even sadder, signing before looking at her. "That's your mom's mother, your grandma Renee, her and me we married right out of high school, and we weren't married long before Bella was born", whispered Charlie, love still there in a way.
Charlie put the picture back on the mantle with all the other pictures of Bella, coming to sit next to Nessie again on the couch. "Your mom was a baby when Renee left me, and moved to Phoenix", said Charlie, silently letting the subject of Renee drop, and preying Nessie would let the subject drop too. "Where is she now", asked Renesme, making Charlie sign again, thinking to him that she just couldn't drop it. "Renee died six years ago, she's buried next to your mom", whispered Charlie, watching as Nessie nodded her head finally dropping the subject of Renee. Nessie was now satisfied, and seeming as if Charlie wanted to stop talking about it she didn't mention it again.
She then went into the kitchen with Charlie to help him make dinner. Charlie got a jar of spaghetti sauce out of the cabinet, along with a box of spaghetti, and the two began to cook. Charlie took the jar of sauce and put it in the microwave, not even taking the metal lid off the jar. "Grandpa don't put the whole jar in there, do you want to blow up the place, metals bad for microwaves", laughed Nessie, getting a bowl, and taking off the lid and putting half the sauce in the bowl. Charlie put the bowl in the microwave, setting it for five minutes, and for some reason he could explain this all felt to him like this had happened before.
Renesme put the spaghetti in a pot of boiling water, and the two sat down at the table as everything cooked, silent neither of them saying a word to the other. Soon everything was done, and they were sitting at the table again silent eating dinner. Neither one said anything for a long time, finally the two started to talk, Renesme asking question after question, and Charlie answering. "Grandpa what was my mom's favorite color", asked Nessie, as she spun some spaghetti around her fork.
Charlie had to think about it before answering, he wouldn't admit it to Nessie, but he didn't know everything about Bella, they had been apart for so many years before she came to live with him. "Her favorite color was blue, she loved blue, your dad used to tell her she looked beautiful in that color", grinned Charlie, watching as Nessie grinned back at him. Nessie grinned at him, laughing because that would be something her dad would do, and silently she kept thinking how she was getting so many of her questions answered. "What was her favorite food", asked Nessie, continuing to question Charlie. Charlie didn't need to think about this question, it seemed to pop into his head, and instantly so many old memories came back to him, memories he hadn't thought about in years.
"Mushroom ravioli that was her favorite food, she used to order it whenever she went to an Italian restraint, we used to go to this Italian place when we visited in California before she moved here with me, she ordered mushroom ravioli every time", said Charlie, tears rolling down his cheeks, and Nessie could see how much he truly loved and missed his daughter, her mother. Nessie racked her brain for another question, but one wouldn't come, she thought and she thought but still her mind stayed as blank as a sheet of paper. Charlie could see she was becoming frustrated by the lack of more questions so he gently placed his hand over hers. "Why don't we take a break from the interrogation, it's getting kinda late, why don't I show you where you're going to be sleeping", said Charlie, getting up and leading Nessie up the stairs, and across the hall to a door. Before opening the door, Charlie turned so that they were facing each other, taking one of her hands in his.
"This used to be your mom's room, but now I want you to consider it your room", whispered Charlie, kissing Nessie on the cheek and hugging her. He slowly opened the door with a loud creak, and a thud, the room was dark, but Charlie turned on a light. It was an average sized room with a bed and two nightstands, and a rocking chair and a desk. The desk had a chair, and there was a window with lace curtains that had once been white, but now they were more of a yellow color. Charlie kissed her goodnight, telling her he'd be just across the hall, leaving her alone in her mom's old room.
Nessie went into the bathroom, putting on a shirt Charlie had let her borrow, and washing her face before going back to her mom's old room. She crawled into what had once been her mom's bed, sitting there a moment, and looking around it, she saw a laptop computer, some cds, and on one of the nightstands two books. The titles of the books were Romeo and Juliet, and Withering heights, both books were worn, telling her that her mom must have read them over and over again. Nessie began to read withering heights the more worn of the two, and she instantly liked it; this is what she was doing when she fell asleep.
