AN: Hey everyone, I'm back! I just want to thank everyone so much on still hanging in there while I got back into my writing groove. You can thank RoseLilianShadow for sending me an amazing PM and getting me off my ass.
On the plus side of things, my physical therapist said that after a full month of three day a week work outs that my leg should recover enough so that I don't have to walk with a cane anymore. If anyone's questioning what happened, check out the AN from my last installation of Hidden Truth.
I have another story in the works and I don't know if I should post it or not. It incorporates Bella as a street fighter with a dark past. She meets Alice and deals with her past while battling with Jasper for Alice's love.
Finally after almost four months, I give everyone the next chapter of Undisclosed Desires!
Chapter Thirteen
Family Day
Alice's Pov
I led my Mom into the greenhouse so that we could talk without being disturbed. I took in the fresh and earthy aroma of the flowers and sprinkler water. My Mom's mouth was open in shock and awe of the vast greenhouse that resembled a jungle. I smiled when I saw fireflies flashing in the moonlight around the flowers and plants. My Mom and I sat down at a table at the beginning of the room that looked over the entire greenhouse.
"So what did you want to talk to me about?" I asked as my eyes continued to sweep over the scenery. It was just so tranquil and serene and made me relax for the upcoming talk with my Mom.
"I wanted to know what's your relationship with that girl that I met at the store." she said and looked at me. Her hazel, green eyes seemed to bore into my own making me feel uncomfortable.
"That girl's name is, Bella Cullen, and we're happily engaged with each other." I replied mad at the fact that she made Bella seem just like some girl of the street. She giggled and held up her hands in mock surrender before reaching out and taking my own hands into hers. I certainly wasn't expecting this type of reaction.
"It's good to see you happy and in a relationship with a person as protective as Bella. So, will I be seeing anymore grandkids in the future?" she asked me and gave my shoulder a playful push. I felt my face heat up in embarrassment causing her to start laughing.
"Well, I guess you could say that we started practicing." I answered back. I watched as my Mom's eyes went wide and then I remembered that she probably doesn't know about Bella.
"Wait a minute, how can you guys be practicing if it's not possible? Unless…No way! Alice, does she have a…" she trailed off a blush staining her own cheeks. I couldn't output any words at the moment, so I just nodded my head.
"I hope that she's enough for you in the bedroom then." she stated nonchalantly. My mouth dropped open in shock at how she could just say something like that so bluntly.
"Mom!" I whined not wanting to get into this type of discussion.
"What? I need to know if Bella is satisfying my Baby's needs. Trust me, I know what it feels like to not be satisfied when it comes to sex, Alice." she replied with an innocent face.
"Ew! Mom, first of all, I don't want to hear about any of you and Dad's sexcapades. Second of all, Bella meets my needs fine. She's actually more than enough for me. It makes me wonder why she wants to marry and be with me rather than be with somebody else." I replied. I heard my Mom sigh loudly and watched as she shook her head in disappointment.
"I don't understand why you always put yourself down instead of being happy with the way you are, Alice. You've done this your entire life, Alice. Why cant you be proud of yourself and be happy that you snagged such a great catch like, Bella." she stated in a slightly scolding tone.
"You're right, Mom, but I cant help but feel like burden on Bella. She took me in and got me back on my feet while taking care of my problems that I was having." I replied. My Mom giggled quietly before leaning over the table to get closer to me.
"Alice, only someone who's deeply in love with you would take the reigns and help get you back to where you started." she said.
"Thanks, Mom." I said quietly. She got up and walked around to sit beside me before pulling me into a hug. It felt so good to have her arms wrapped around me the same way she did when I was just a little girl.
"It's so good to have you back in my life again, Alice. I'm so sorry for what I did, but it was only to keep you safe from your father." she said quietly.
"I am too, Mom, and I forgive you for doing what you did. If you didn't I wouldn't have met, Bella." I replied and gave her one final squeeze before pulling away.
"It's getting late. We should go ahead and go sleep." I suggested and we made our way upstairs. I stopped at mine and Bella's room and noticed that the door was shut, signaling that the girls were already asleep.
"Is there anyway that I could say goodnight to Jamie before I go to the guest room." my Mom asked. I nodded and opened the door slowly as to not wake any of the girls up.
My Mom and I had to hold in our aww's at the sight of my family sleeping in bed. Bella was sprawled out like normal along with her soft snoring resounding throughout the room. Jamie, always being Bella's little mini me, was sprawled out on top of Bella with her face buried in Bella's chest. I chuckled softly when I saw that both of their mouths were open and that Jamie was snoring slightly too.
"That has to be the cutest sight that I've ever seen." my Mom whispered into my ear. I nodded in agreement. My Mom decided to just let the two of them sleep and made her way over to the guest room, which is the room right next to mine.
I decided to take a quick shower before I jumped into bed. After I washed up I dried off my body and hair. I'm so grateful for having short hair that dries almost instantly. When I finished I got dressed into a pair of Bella's boxers and a tank top. As I turned to walk out of the bathroom I saw the paw print mark on my shoulder. I smiled and ran my hand over it causing warmth to spread throughout my body.
I went back into the bedroom only to see Bella awake and gently moving Jamie to her left side. Her blue eyes locked with mine and she smiled goofily at me, probably because she was still tired. She patted the empty spot on her right side motioning for me to go over to her. I smiled and got underneath the covers, her right arm pulling me into her body. I laid my right arm on her chest snuggling up to her while I felt her nuzzle the top of my head and planting a kiss on my forehead before falling asleep again. I gave Bella a quick peck on her cheek and placed my hand overtop of Jamie's that was resting on Bella's chest. My body's exhaustion hit me like a ton of bricks causing me fall asleep quickly.
Next Morning- Bella's Pov
I woke up to the feeling of someone nudging my arm softly trying to get me to wake up. I opened my eyes and found myself curled around Jamie protectively with her head buried into my chest. I rolled over slowly and saw my Alice smiling softly down at me. She ran her hand up and down my arm causing me to start purring. She giggled and cupped my cheek while stroking it with her thumb. My purring got louder as I nuzzled my head into her hand.
"Morning, Bells, Esme said that she's inviting everyone over for a family day today. Everyone's going to be here in an hour, so you need to get your ass outta bed." she said in a mock tone. I nodded and gave her a quick kiss before I started trying to get Jamie up.
"C'mon, Baby Girl, you need to wake up." I said running my fingers through her hair. I saw her lips twitch and eyes flutter before she pretended to be asleep again.
"Uh oh, looks like Jamie is going to get attacked by the purring monster since she wont wake up." I said playfully. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her into my body. My entire body began to vibrate from my purring causing Jamie to laugh and squirm in my arms.
"Mommy, stop!" Jamie squealed and continued to squirm in my arms. I stopped and put her down on the ground. Alice was smiling at the both of us and then took Jamie into their closet to get dressed.
I put on a pair of cargo shorts and one of the t-shirts Alice had bought me for Christmas. The shirt was black with paint splatters all over it followed by Hurley going across it diagonally. I put my hair up in a pony tail and put on my Nike Shocks. I walked out of my closet and saw that Jamie and Alice matched each other. They were both wearing jeans with Nike tennis shoes along with white t-shirts except that Jamie was wearing a white polo shirt instead. Alice was wearing a regular v-neck t-shirt that showed off a little bit of her cleavage.
We all walked downstairs when we were finished getting ready. Alice and I were walking hand in hand while I let Jamie hang on my back like a monkey. We went into the kitchen to see not only Esme cooking up a storm but also Alice's mom cooking with her. We all greeted each other and made some small talk with one another. I felt Jamie jump off my back only to be caught by Emmett as I turned around to see what was going on.
"Uncle Emmy!" she said happily as he rocked her back and forth in his arms like a baby. He gave her a quick kiss on her forehead and then handed her over to Rosalie, who was standing right next to him. Rosalie copied Emmett's movements and then set her down on the ground.
The next thing I knew, Jamie launched herself at her other two uncles who readily caught her in their arms. Jasper and Edward started to tickle her while she was in their arms. Jamie laughed and was able to squirm out of their arms. Jamie then ran and hid behind me so that she was out of their reach. Everyone was laughing while watching the display.
"Looks like Jamie is starting to take after your style, Bella." Emmett said.
"It's not my fault if she wants to dress up in cool clothes like me." I stated. My siblings proceeded to snort and chuckle at my statement.
"Let's just hope that Jamie doesn't catch on to your unnatural ability of being an absolute klutz sometimes." Rosalie stated and patted my shoulder. My face went red in embarrassment and I went over to my Mom and buried my head in her shoulder.
"Mommy, Rosalie hurt my feelings." I said causing her to start laughing and wrap her arms around me.
"Rosalie, tell your sister that you're sorry." Esme stated in a mock scolding tone.
"I'm sorry that you're such a klutz, Bella." Rosalie said and pinched my cheek. I slapped her hand away and stuck my tongue out at her.
"I'll get you back later today, Rosalie." I stated.
We all chatted with one another waiting for the rest of the gang to show up. Alice introduced Jamie to Maya and let them get to know each other a little bit. I still don't like the fact of what Maya did to Alice, but I could see where she was coming from. I really couldn't thank her enough that she accepted Alice and my relationship with each other.
Everyone else showed up with a ton of food that they set down on the kitchen table. We all said our hi's and hello's before all of us went outside. Sam and Emmett decided that they wanted to have a family football match, even Alice and Jamie decided that they wanted to play. We picked teams and they ended with me, Paul, Emmett, Jasper, and Jamie while the other team was Rosalie, Alice, Jacob, Edward, and Sam.
At first the game was totally back and forth. My team would score a touchdown and their team would score a touchdown. We were currently tied and decided that the next touchdown would win. It was fourth down for the other team. Rosalie hiked the ball and was looking for someone to throw it to. I was covering Alice, making sure to run at human speed, as she took off down the field. I thought that this was going to be easy, until Alice cut back and ran to the other side of the field. Rosalie threw it to her and she caught. I ran and tackled her softly to the ground before she could reach the end zone. She giggled and leaned up to kiss me while I hovered over her. We heard a few cat calls from the guys.
"Hey! This is no time to get it on. Get off the field if you're going to do that!" I heard Paul yell at us. I helped Alice up and got Paul into headlock. We play fought on the ground until Emmett and Sam broke us apart.
It was our ball and I was in the quarterback position. The first down I threw it to Emmett who got us fifty yards away from the end zone. The next down I handed it off to Jasper who didn't get very far. On third down I threw the ball to Paul who got us within twenty yards to the end zone. On the fourth down I told everyone to block for Jamie in our huddle.
Everyone got into position and I hiked the ball. Jasper ran behind me and I fake handed it off to him. Then Jamie got right behind me and I gave the ball to her and told her to run. She took off down the field with me as her lead blocker. Soon it was just Jamie, Alice, Rosalie, and me down the field. I took Alice to the ground so that Jamie could get further towards the end zone. I looked up at Rosalie and saw her smirking at Jamie, thinking that it was going to be for her to get Jamie down. Jamie, however, slid underneath Rosalie's legs, got back up, and ran into the end zone leaving a stunned Rosalie in her dust. My team ran into the end zone and congratulated Jamie and then tossed her up and down a couple of times.
"Forget about me getting you back, Rose. Jamie went ahead and did it for me." I stated and patted her on the shoulder. She smiled and shook her head. We all headed back into the house and ate lunch together.
"Hey Paul, did you by any chance bring your tattoo gun with you?" I asked him as everyone started to clean up the kitchen table and dishes since we finished eating. He turned around and looked at me like I was stupid.
"When do I not have my tattoo gun on me, Bella?" he said. I shrugged my shoulders and he went to go get all of his gear out of his truck.
"You thinking about getting another tattoo, Babe?" Alice asked. I nodded and wrapped my arms around her.
"I'm going to add you, Jamie, and my family's crest." I told her.
"I'm actually thinking about getting one too." she said to me. My eyes went wide in shock, but I couldn't stop her from doing what she wants to do. I nodded my head and gave her a kiss on her forehead. Everyone went into the living room where Paul had set up his gear.
"Bella, what do you want to get this time?" Paul asked as he set up his bench.
"I want to get our pack symbol/ family crest on the back of my left shoulder, a small tiger print where my other one is with Jamie written above, and I want Alice written just below the waistband of my jeans." I told him. He nodded and we started on the last one. I unbuttoned my pants and slid them down an inch and lifted my shirt so that Paul had no interference while working. Alice held my hand as he worked the gun over my skin.
It didn't take him long to finish that one. I took off my shirt and flipped over on the bench so that he had full access to my back. It took him twenty minutes to finish the tiger print one and another thirty minutes to finish our pack crest one. When I was finished, Alice continued with her plan to get a tattoo. She was having trouble deciding on what she wanted though.
"You could always get what the other girls in the pack get." Paul said and motioned for Kira and Rosalie to stand up and show her. They had a tribal band that went around their waists followed by their mates names written just below their waistbands. Alice agreed to the design and it took a half an hour to finish. I held her hand throughout the entire process giving her an outlet for her pain. Through our connection she seemed to feel little pain though.
When Alice got done, the rest of the guys got the pack tattoo. Jamie said that she wanted to get one too. I grabbed one of my airbrush guns and told her that she couldn't get a tattoo until she was older. She accepted it and was all for getting a henna tattoo. She told me that she wanted a paw print on the back of her right shoulder Alice and I had. I mapped out the print and airbrushed one right onto her skin. She smiled happily after I got done saying that she was just like both of her mommies now.
For the rest of the night all of us sat down and played cards. Everyone learned that Kira was pregnant and that Sam, Paul, and Jacob had already arranged their marriage dates. Alice and I announced that we were getting married, and Emily, Kira, and Leah all gushed about what our plans were. Alice and I weren't completely sure, but we knew we wanted to have our wedding in a couple of months. Then the girls started to go over plans, colors, themes, cakes, and all that good stuff.
Not long after we finished up our games and conversations it was already ten at night. We said goodnight to everyone, and Alice took Jamie upstairs to give her a bath. Just as I was going to go upstairs, Maya grabbed my arm. I looked back at her and saw that she was extremely nervous about whatever she was going to do.
"Bella, can we talk somewhere for a little bit?" she asked.
"Sure, Maya. Let's go talk in my Dad's study." I told her and led her upstairs into the room. I motioned for her to sit at one of the chairs at the chess table. I grabbed one of my cigars out of the study table and sat down in the other chair across from Maya.
"What did you want to talk about?" I asked her as I lit up my cigar. I took a hit and offered it to Maya, who accepted it without a second thought.
"Just wanted to ask you the basic questions that any parent would when dating my daughter." she stated. I knew what they were so I just went ahead and answered them all.
"Well, I plan on marrying your daughter and spending the rest of my life with her. I have enough money to support our family for the rest of our lives, and I promise that I will never break Alice's heart and protect her life with my own." I told her all in one go. She smiled at me and nodded.
"So I know that you and your family are weretigers from overhearing my husband talking to the Volturi. Bella, their working on creating a breed stronger than weres, shifters, and vampires. I overheard them talking about you and how they were going to force you to breed with a vampire creating the ultimate race of warriors." she told me.
"I know, Maya. I've been captured by them once and now they're going to come after Alice, Jamie, and I. I promise you that I'll fight to the death to make sure that Alice and Jamie will be safe. If anything ends up happening to me, I want you to tell her that it wasn't her fault and that all of you are more than welcome to stay with my family. In all honesty, I have no idea about their next plan of attack." I said to her.
"I know that you and your family will be able to take the Volturi down without any problems at all. Apparently one of the three brothers has left the gang and is planning a resistance against his other two brothers. I don't know the whole story, but Aro killed Marcus's wife and now Marcus wants revenge. If you can contact him, I'm sure that he will aid in the fight against the Volturi." she said to me. My eyes went wide at the news she told me. Knowing the Volturi broke up partially gives me a new hope that we can take them down without any casualties. I'll have to tell Jasper and start up all of our planning.
"Thank you, Maya, you have no idea how much you just helped us out."
"No problem. Anything to help out my future daughter-in-law." she stated and pulled me into a hug. I hugged her back and we finished up the rest of the cigar before we went into our separate rooms. I took a quick shower and then hopped into bed, my mind running over battle plans and defensive fighting techniques.
AN: Let me know about what you guys think of the story idea and of the chapter!
