The drive to the new house was long and excruciating. Sarah and A.J slept for most of the way there but woke up once in a while and wanted some attention and smiles, which was something it took a lot for us to give now.
After a while we drove on a straight road for a long time, nothing but forest and more forest passed us by. We had to drive on a small road in the forest and after a while a big house appeared. As we parked on the side of the house I got a small glance of the big yard behind the house. The house was almost caged in the forest but the grass was perfectly cut and there was more than enough area to use.
"They are here!" Seth shouted as we walked out of the car and I carried Sarah. He ran up to us and stopped in front of me with a questioning look.
I hesitated but decided to be nice. "Here." I said and his face lit up as I handed her over. "But only until we unpack." I said and he nodded.
"Do you want to go down to the river right there?" he asked Sarah with a silly voice.
"WATER!" she cooed.
"Shouldn't we bring your brother too?" He asked and walked up to Jacob.
I gave Jacob a surprised look. I knew Seth cared for all of us both no one could compare to Sarah and if he had the chance to spend time with only her he took it. So when he offered to entertain Anthony we welcomed it.
"Seth is going to take you to the river. Isn't that fun?" Jacob smiled to Anthony and handed him over to Seth.
"SEFF!" He smiled and patted him on the cheek. His speech wasn't as good as Sarah's since she aged faster than he did.
"Yeah, Buddy! Let's go!" he smiled and ran down to the little river with them. Jacob walked over and hugged me as we watched them.
"He will take good care of them." I whispered. Without my mother saying anything I knew she had done the same as she did for me and Jacob. Deep down I knew my mom had new ID's and a backpack full of money for them. Now we just had to write the letters.
"I know." Jacob whispered with a husky voice and started unpacking the car.
I decided to take a few moments to myself and walked around the house. The house was big with light and deep green colors and dark red details on it. If we didn't just buy it for the fight I think we would have got it anyway. It felt so warm and welcoming. Since it was the end of summer it was still warm outside but it had started to get colder and colder. The air was fresh and the grass was newly cut. As my family ran around and helped Jacob unpack I walked inside to inspect everything. Of course Alice had decorated it a bit and gotten it fully furnished. It was her therapy. The door was in the middle of the front and when you entered there was a small bathroom to the left and the rest was a big living room. Right in front of the door there was a staircase leading to the other floor. After the living room/ hallway there was a long rectangular kitchen and a door to the backyard. I walked upstairs and right away there were five doors in the long hallway, one for us all and the kids. Mine and Jacob's room wasn't anything fancy just how we like it. It had light grey walls and very warm colors. It felt safe and cozy. To know that Alice had done this to make our maybe last time in life more enjoyable warmed my heart. I sat down on our bed and looked out the window where Seth and the kids were playing outside.
"Here is our stuff." Jacob said and put our bags down. "What's the matter?" Jacob asked me when he saw my face.
"I love them so much." I whispered and he sat down beside me.
"I know. I know you do. We all do." He murmured and hugged me. I leaned my head against his chest and wrapped my arms around him. "Let it out."
I finally let go and let the tears fell down my face. "We can't let the kids see us like this." I said when I realized he was starting to cry.
"You are right." He said and wiped my tears as I wiped his away. "We have to be there for them."
I nodded and kissed him. "We have to be there for each other too."
"JUICE!" I heard Sarah yell from outside. Having superior hearing was a blessing and a curse when you are a parent.
"I will get her." Jacob said and kissed me before he walked out.
I looked over at the table and saw a pen and paper by a lit candle. Mom, I thought when I saw it. I have to write a good bye letter. With all my strength I walked over there and sat down. With trembling hands I picked up the pen and started.
Anthony and Sarah
You two are my miracles, my sun shines. The best moment of my life was when I found out about you, and when I saw you it just made everything even stronger. Unfortunately we have now parted but you two have to know how much Jacob and I love you, which is more than anything on this earth. We will always be by your side, in your dreams, in your hearts, in your hopes.
Seth will take good care about you two. Or else we wouldn't trust him with you. When both of you are old enough Seth will tell you everything and teach you about our past and the legends that are a part of us. Just remember to never avenge or come back for us. My only wishes are for you two to be safe. Take care of each other.
I know you both will grow up to be wonderful people and no matter what you are we will be proud.
Anthony, my first born, my thumper you are the strongest one from inside of me. The moment I saw your face I knew you were your father's son. In you I can see my own father also. And I know that you have both Cullen and Black blood in you. So no matter if you are like your father or not, no matter if you become alpha of a pack your father will be proud of you. I know that you will fight for what is right. Promise to take care of yourself and your sister. The woman who will one day be Mrs. Cullen Black will be a lucky lady and I know you will be a great father if that is what you choose. Just never forget I want you to live your life to the fullest and enjoy it.
Sarah, my milk and honey butterfly. Time has flown by since I first found out about you. I remember when I first saw you. The light from behind you made you look like an angel. When I saw your eyes flutter open and I knew everything was fine I could finally relax. My angels were safe. I know you will grow up to be a beautiful woman but promise to cherish yourself and wait for the right man. You are a true treasure and only the best man deserves you. No matter if you will be Mrs. Clearwater or something else I do want to say that I know Seth will take good care of you. Imprinting can be a wonderful thing.
Promise to stay safe and never forget us or our love. Use your talents with respect and care.
~ Your mother
I put down the pen with a thud and cried silently. No words could ever explain my love for them and a letter felt like nothing compared to what I wanted to give them.
To the left of me there was an envelope that I put the letter in and slid it under my mother's door.
"Renesmee?" I heard my father say from downstairs. Something felt wrong.
Jacob POV
I left Renesmee in her room and walked downstairs and out to get Sarah. Even though Ness could feed her I knew it was hard so I decided to do it. With long strides I ran across the lawn and A.J and Sarah smiled when they saw me.
"DEE!" Anthony squeaked. He was still a big fan of calling me that even though he could say daddy.
"MY DADDY!" Sarah pouted and lightly pushed A.J but Seth caught him before he fell back.
"Hey!" I said and leaned down to them. "I'm his daddy too."
She frowned and crossed her arms. "Fine." She muttered and Anthony smiled.
"Our dee!" he said and pointed to me.
"Yes, your dee!" I said and kissed his cheek.
"OUR DEE!" he said again with triumph and jumped up and down. "OUR DEE!" he sang.
"Who's your dee?" Seth asked Sarah. I'm thankful that he said dee. If he had said daddy I wouldn't have been able to keep myself from punching him in the face.
"HE IS OUR DEE!" Sarah now chimed in and hugged Anthony.
Both me and Seth couldn't help it. We let out two big "Aaaaaaaw's"
"Want some juice now?" I asked Sarah.
"Our daddy will give us juice!" Sarah said and climbed up on my back. Her motor skills and speech was a lot better than A.J's.
"Apple juice!" Anthony smiled and I looked at Seth.
"Yeah… sure." Seth said to A.J and took his hand. "Want to go inside now?"
"No. I want to play!" he said and pulled his hand away.
"Will you stay out with him?" I asked Seth.
"Of course." He said and Anthony splashed around in the water. "I will try to keep him somewhat dry." He chuckled.
"Let him have fun. It's okay." I said and stroked A.J's hair before Sarah and I walked away.
"FASTER!" Sarah demanded and hit her little hands on my head. "RUN FASTER!" she demanded. With a chuckle I did as she said and ran. She let out little squeals of enjoyment as the air swirled around us.
"Now let's get juice." I said as we walked into the kitchen.
"You are slow." Sarah pouted as I put her down on the little couch.
"Sorry." I laughed and went to look for her "juice". I found it in a cabinet and poured it into her Sippy cup. "Here." I said and handed her the bottle.
"Thank you." She said with a polite smile and started slurping it down and I felt the awful smell from the blood.
"You want me to do it?" Edward came in the room.
"No. I'm fine." I said and sat down on the floor in front of Sarah. "But you can join us." I chuckled and pointed to the place beside Sarah on the couch.
"Thank you." He smiled and sat down. "Is your juice okay?" he asked Sarah.
She happily nodded as she chugged it down.
I will never understand it, will I? I asked Edward and looked at the bottle.
"Probably not." He chuckled and stroked Sarah's hair. "Your hair is getting long."
Sarah immediately stopped drinking and looked at Edward. "I won't cut it! I want long like mommy!" she pouted with a frown.
Edward and I both laughed and she continued drinking. "Fine by me." Edward said and held his hands up.
When Sarah was done she handed me the bottle and I went over to wash it. She crawled over to Edward and sat in his lap. She enjoyed "talking" to him. They sat there in silent and laughed from time to time.
"Well I don't know. Should we ask him?" Edward said as I finished washing the bottle.
"What?" I asked and walked up to them and leaned against the counter.
"What do you dream?" Sarah asked again.
"Sweetie, I still can't show you." I smiled and hunched down on the floor in front of them.
"Why?" she sniffled as the tears started coming.
"I've told you. I'm not as special as you are." I said and Edward handed her over.
"Mommy show. You show!" she demanded.
"I wish I could." I said and rolled my eyes to Edward. "But I can't. I don't have your talent."
"HERE!" she said and swung her little fist against my chest. I gasped for air as something cold went through my body. Edward gave me a concerned look and I was still uncomfortable from the cold sensation in my body that now started to go away.
"I'm sorry." She whispered and wrapped her arms around my neck. Okay all of this is just getting weirder.
"For what sweetie?" Edward stood up and asked. I gave him a confused look.
"I made daddy feel cold." She whispered and pushed her little finger to my chest, exactly where the cold was.
"Show her something." Edward demanded.
"What? I can't."
"Just…imagine showing her something then."
I hesitated but Edward gave me a look so I decided to go along with his little game or whatever this was. I placed my hand on her cheek and rolled my eyes. God this feels so silly.
I thought of the moment when I found out about them.
All of the sudden Sarah giggled and looked at me. "I was in there?" she said like it was the dumbest and funniest thing ever.
I felt my face go blank and I looked at Edward. His eyes were locked on me.
"Renesmee!" he shouted to Ness upstairs.
It looks like they might be able to make it out of this alive!
