It was the first time Jacob would go back to work after a long "vacation". That was our explenation to why he had been gone for such a long time. Telling them about our hybrid babies seemed like a bad idea. I put his clothes out on the bed and made him lunch, like a little kid, I thought and laughed.
He ran down the stairs, unfortunately fully dressed. "Good morning!" he smiled and kissed me with passion.
"Good morning. You are in a good mood." I laughed.
"Well I have a wonderful life." He smiled and got a cup out of the cabinet.
"I have already made coffee." I smiled and pointed to the machine and continued making sandwiches.
"COFFEE!" Sarah shouted and pointed up at Jake.
"Yes, coffee." He laughed and picked her up. "Good morning sweetie." He kissed her cheek.
"Smell bad!" she complained as he took a sip.
"Yes I know. Daddy smells bad." I teased and kissed her as I walked by them.
"Ha ha." Jake smiled and Sarah laughed. "Where is your brother?"
"CAT!" she shouted and pointed to Anthony and Buddy playing on the rug. It was their favourite place.
"Poor cat.." Jake laughed. "Well. I have to get to work now." He handed me Sarah and kissed us both.
"Here." I handed him a bag with his lunch.
"You are the best." He smiled and kissed me again and walked over to A.J and Buddy. "Hey, A.J, daddy is going to work now." He held his arms out to him and Anthony hurled himself up and held Buddy's tail while he walked up to Jake.
"NO!" A.J shouted and hugged Jake. "STAY! STAY! STAAAY!" he cried.
"I will be back soon. I promise." Jake smiled and picked him up.
"Soon? Promise?" A.J pouted.
"Yes. Before you go to bed."
"I don't like bed!" he whined.
"Well if you are good to mommy today..." he pointed at me. "Then maybe you can be up a little longer."
"DADDY GO!" he smiled.
Jake and I laughed. "Okay. Be good now. Love you." he put him down and kissed his head.
"Make money." I teased him and kissed him before he walked out of the door.
"Promise!" he waved to me and walked away. I closed the door and looked at A.J.
"Daddy go." He stated.
"Yes. But he will be back." I assured him and walked up to him. "I promise." I put down Sarah and they started playing. I walked over to the phone and called mom.
"So... daddy go." I quoted Anthony.
"Are they taking it well?"
"Yeah. I don't think they are too sad." I smiled and looked at them playing. Sarah was a bit bigger than Anthony. Since she had more vampire traits and she grew faster.
"Well do you need help today?"
"No I think I should just act normal and keep them calm." Sarah shouted to Anthony and interrupted me. "Well... somewhat calm."
"Well call me if you do."
"I promise." I said and hung up. "What to do… what to do… what to do..." I looked at them playing.
"Food!" Anthony demanded and smiled.
"You just ate." I sighed.
"FOOOOOOOOD!" he laughed.
"I'm getting fed up with that word.." I whispered to myself as I walked to the kitchen. "What do you want?"
"Hoodoo's and mashpash!" Anthony yelled.
"So hot dogs and mashed potatoes?" I asked. He had his own language.
"YES!" He yelled back.
"Hoodoo's and mashpash it is." I went to the fridge to look for food. "We don't have hoodoo's. Is there something else you want?"
"NO!" Sarah yelled for him.
"Fine. Let's go shopping!" I smiled to them. "Come here!" I held my hands out to them and they walked up to me.
"CAR!" Anthony smiled.
"Yes. Car!" I smiled back and he ran at me.
I went to a small food store pretty far away so I wouldn't bump into anyone I knew. I still hadn't seen anyone for a while. Anthony and Sarah were standing up in the car and pointed to everything they wanted.
"Here.." I handed Anthony a bag of hot dogs.
"HOODOO'S" He yelled.
"Shhhh! You have to be quiet Anthony." I smiled as everyone started staring.
"Shhh." He said to Sarah. I laughed and kept walking around. We finished shopping and went out to the car. I put them in the back seat and strapped them in their little car seats and put the food in the car.
"Renesmee?" I heard someone call me as I put in the last bag. CRAP! I turned around and saw Lynn.
"HEY!" I smiled and hugged her.
"How are you? I haven't seen you in like forever!" she smiled.
"Well I have been kinda busy." I smiled.
"Too busy to call me? Did you have kids or something?" she joked. Oh if she only knew.
"MEEE!" I heard Anthony shout. CRAP! I forgot to close the windows. I smiled at Lynn as a nervous reflex.
Lynn gave me a confused look and walked to the side of the car and looked in the back seat.
"Look…" I tried to continue but couldn't. What would I say?
"Oh are these Jacob's sister's kids?" she smiled.
What should I do? Tell her? I stood there for a while, not sure what to say. "No."
"What? Are you a baby sitter or something?"
"No."
"Renesmee?"
I walked up to the side of the car where she was standing and picked Anthony up through the open window.
"Mommy!" He shouted and hugged me. I sighed and looked at her. She was shocked.
"Yeah." I mumbled.
"When? They must be like a year old."
"They are six months old." I said.
"Who?" Anthony asked and pointed at Lynn.
"This is Lynn." I smiled to him.
"LEE!" he smiled and held his hands out. Lynn backed away a bit and looked at me.
"We need to talk I guess. Get in the car?"
"YOU THINK!" she snarled at me and sat in the car. I put back Anthony and drove home. She helped me pack up the bags and I got the kids in.
"I will make dinner soon." I told them and they went to play. I sat down next to Lynn on the couch.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Its complicated."
"You had kids. It's that simple."
"It's not."
"Then explain."
"I can't."
"Why not?"
"I just can't."
"Then why am I here?"
"Because we need to talk about what we can."
"Which is..?"
"You can't tell anyone."
"NOBODY KNOWS?"
I came up with a lie. "We are in the witness protection program." the lie was like acid on my tongue as I said it. It hurt to lie to her.
"What? Ness are you guys alright?" she turned from mad to worried.
"We have to leave soon."
"What? You can't." she looked sad.
"We have to.. I have to protect my children."
She looked over at them. "Can I know where you are going?"
"No. And you can't tell anyone. It will put you and my family in danger."
"Okay."
"And you can't talk about me after this."
"What..?"
"The less you talk to me the better."
"So I am just supposed to forget about you?"
I nodded and felt a tear fall down. She shook her head and wiped her tears away.
"I'm sorry." I whispered and put a hand on her shoulder. "I really am. I will miss you so much and I'm sorry I kept this from you."
She nodded and threw her arms around me. "When will you leave?" she whispered.
"As soon as possible."
"Ness." she whispered and pulled away. "I love you."
"I love you too." I whispered back.
KNOCK KNOCK
My mother came in. "What's going on?"
"You should probably leave. We have to pack." I whispered to her. She nodded and hugged me one last time and walked out.
"Ness?" my mom ran up to me and hugged me.
"We have to leave." I cried.
"When?" she asked. I loved that she didn't ask questions.
"As soon as possible." I wiped my tears away and she nodded.
"I will tell the others. We will come here and pack soon."
"Okay." I whispered and she walked out. I called Jake right away. "We have to leave." I sobbed.
"What's wrong Ness?"
"We have to leave... tell the others." I said. "And come home."
"I will be there soon." He said and we hung up. I looked over at the kids. They were still playing like nothing had happened.
