I quickly made some bacon and eggs that I ate up right away. All I wanted was to get back in bed with Jacob. So I did the dishes and snuck back into the bedroom where Jacob laid in the exact same spot he did when I left. I chuckled and crawled up in the bed. I put my hand on his cheek and placed a feather light kiss on his lips before I laid down on my pillow. After my eyes closed I fell asleep right away.
Song of the chapter : Elvis Presley - I can't help falling in love with you
I woke up and my eyes quickly adjusted to the light. When I sat up in bed I noticed Jacob still lying in the same way he did when he fell asleep last night. I just have really tired him out.
Even though I wanted to wake him up I snuck out of the bedroom and threw a robe on. After the way he took care of me, no I believe the word he used was 'worshipped', me last night I could at least make him breakfast. I opened the fridge and found a big steak laying there. Anything will do but that will just make him even happier, I giggled and took it out.
"Oh," I mumbled to myself and put the steak down. "…the kids." I snuck in and out of the bedroom to get my phone and dialed the number as I continued making his food.
"MAMA!" Anthony answered the phone with a happy voice.
"Hello honey! How are you? Where is Sarah?"
"I good. Sarah is making nana's hair pretty." He explained and all I could imagine was the vision of my mom getting her hair done. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Tell Ed to send me a picture of it!" I chuckled and he promised to do so.
"You know what I did today?" he asked and I begged him to tell me what I had missed. "I lost a tooth!"
I stopped breathing and making the food when he said it. "Could…you umm…put nana on the phone?" I tried to hold back tears as he handed her the phone.
"Hello?"
"He lost his first tooth?" I cried out. "…please tell me you saved it!"
"Awww…sweetie. Don't be sad!" she chuckled.
"Don't tell me to not be sad!" I cried and sat down on the floor. ".. I missed it!"
"Renesmee.. I missed the first days of your life. THAT is hard, especially since you grew so fast."
"This isn't a competition!" I cried.
"I know it isn't," she chuckled when I started to cry even more. "..you are both sweet and silly right now."
I finally lightened up and chuckled. "What tooth was it?"
"What tooth it was?" she asked and held back a laugh. "…the middle one on the bottom, he kind of looks like he has been in a fight."
"Oh no!" I cried. "…that's awful!"
"Sweetie I'm joking," she laughed. "Trying to light up the mood you know."
"It's not funny if my child looks beaten!"
She sighed heavily as I sniffled. "He looks cute.. I assure you."
"…send…"
"..I will send you a picture." She interrupted me.
"Thank you," I finally started to gather myself for real now and wiped the tears away.
"DONE!" I heard Sarah say in the background and I burst out in tears again.
"Oh for the love of…" mom stopped herself. "It's beautiful sweetie, thank you!" I heard her give Sarah a kiss and the tears almost poured out.
"Hello?" I heard Sarah say and I gathered myself. "…mama?"
"Sweetie? Hi!"
"Why are you sad mommy?" she asked with concern.
"Oh, I just miss you baby." I sniffled.
"I miss you too mommy!" she assured me and I held back tears again.
"…you are so sweet." I almost squeaked as I tried to calm down.
"She sounds funny." I heard Sarah say to mom and she laughed. "Anthony lost a tooth!"
"Yes I heard that. Did he cry?"
"No. He was a big boy," she assured me and I was actually comforted by that. "…but it did look gross with the blood."
"BLOOD? Give nana the phone."
"Of course there is going to be some blood Renesmee. Come on..." my mom sighed. "Now we have a trip out to the forest to do so you want to say good bye?"
"Yes please." I murmured and she gave them the phone and we said out good byes. When I hung up and put the phone on the counter my stomach growled and I continued making dinner. Think of something else, I told myself and cut the meat. I made the meat the way Jacob like it and got some fries to it.
I put the food on the table and poured us something to drink, Water for Jacob and orange juice for me. It was one of the few human drinks I could tolerate. When I put the little vase with flowers on the table Jacob's hands wrapped around me from behind.
"You scared me," I mumbled and rubbed his hands on my stomach.
"It smells amazing..." he whispered and kissed my neck.
"Thank you," I smiled and got out of his grip to sit down. "Dig in."
As he sat down he carefully inspected my face. "Have you been crying?"
"I.." I burst out in tears and he wrapped his arms around me.
"What's wrong?"
"Anthony… he… Anthony…. Lost a… he lost a tooth!" I cried and nuzzled my face into his neck.
"What? That's great. He is growing up," Jacob smiled and pulled me away so he could look at me.
"I missed it!" I cried and he pulled me in for another hug.
"Nessie, don't be silly!" he chuckled and kissed my tears away. "He is not going to grow up while we are gone!"
"He is growing up so fast!" I cried heavily and rested my chin on his shoulder.
"He is? Have you seen our daughter? She looks like she's two years old," when he reminded me of how fast she had grown up I burst out in a loud sob and pulled out of his arms.
"How could you say that?" I cried and made a desperate gesture with my hands as he held back laughter. He didn't say anything because we both knew that if he did he wouldn't be able to hold back the mocking laughter. I took a deep breath and felt my lips quiver. He could no longer hold it back and there was no use in trying..
"I'm sorry!" he laughed and I pushed him so he fell down on his rear while I joined in on the fun.
"…you are so mean," I chuckled and wiped my tears away. He mimicked my gestures and cried out 'How could you say that?'.
"I'm sorry, honey." He chuckled and stood back up to kiss me. His hands cupped my face as his thumbs rubbed away the tears. "You just looked so funny."
I chuckled and kissed him back. "You are just the worst."
"Yeah, but you still love me." He smiled proudly and gave me one more kiss before he sat down. ".. shall we dig in?"
I nodded in agreement since I was still not trusting my voice to hold. He happily cut up his meat quickly so he could eat with just the fork and use the other one to hold my hand. Always so sweet, I thought as his big hand squeezed mine.
"So, what should we do today?" I wanted to get my thoughts on something else.
"Well... Explore the island some more or the bedroom?" he smirked and my cheeks covered in pink.
"I know that bedroom like the back of my hand," I smiled and shook my head.
"Do I not keep you entertained in there?" he grinned and leaned towards me for a lingering and teasing kiss. My breath got slightly off and he seemed pleased at his effect.
"You keep me most entertained Mr. Black," I smiled and took a bite of the food.
"Oh, I know." He cocked his head and took a bite in a dramatic and playfully grumpy way. "…no one can rock your world like I can."
I burst out in laughter and he gave me a questioning look with a smile and his mouth full of food.
"No one," I chuckled and stroked his cheek. He shook his head but the smile never wiped away.
"Just eat your food," he chuckled and kept eating. When we were done eating Jacob, like the gentlemen he is, took the dishes away. He cleaned them and I dried them. Once in a while I stretched to put them back in the cabinet and I knew my robe didn't cover the parts he loved.
The day was spent exploring the island some more and jumping from cliffs. It felt just like the first time we were here. No matter how many kids or (possible) grandchildren we would have we would always be teenagers at heart. Just like my parents. When they were with me they usually acted like grown ups (most of the time) but I knew that when they were alone they were all giggles and smiles. That would always be our future. We would never get old or have to slow down. Forever would be our everyday life.
As I took a shower Jacob cleaned up in the living room and I wasn't allowed to go in there until he was done. I suspected he had something planned for tonight. But who knew? Maybe he was just scared that I would mess up the room again. I chuckled at the thought and decided to text my mom.
-How are the kids?
Of course I got an answer right away.
-They are great! Anthony is still proud over the lost tooth and brags about it.
I laughed at the text and started to feel a bit more at ease over the fact that I missed his first lost tooth.
-I hope you saved it!
-Of course. Would I ever dare to throw it out? ;)
I stuck my tongue out at her text and another one came right in.
-Don't I look beautiful?
The text said and a picture went along with it. After a long wait it finally popped up and I burst out in laughter. It was my mom sitting on the couch with Sarah putting hair rollers in her hair. Right after that one came another one with the finished result. It looked like bed head hair which only made me laugh more.
-And YOU survived that?
I sent back. I don't know anything my mom hates more than beauty related things.
-You're father said I was very beautiful! :(
-You sure are! ;)
I put the phone away and thought about how that went by. Hope Jasper wasn't around to feel her agony. OH! How could I ever go a week without them? Right when we get home Jacob will probably leave and go to La Push too.. Forks wasn't just a memory of my childhood. It was a memory of my family's pain. How many nights my mother spent upset over Renee and the life she was leaving behind.
Alice had once gone back and checked all the documents of her own death so she had saved my parents. Even though they were completely fake it was still scary to see them. All the memories and memorials that were held for them had been saved and safely put away in a box in the attic. Newspapers with things like 'Teenagers killed in horrific car accident' written in bold font, pictures of them was in almost every corner of the pages. It ranged from casual hugging photos to my mother in her wedding dress and dad holding her hips. Quotes from family and friends were written in cursive under every photo that in some way connected.
"A mother should never have to know the pain of burying her child," – Renee Dwyer, Bella's mother.
"We will miss them both greatly," – Carlisle Cullen, Edward's adoptive father.
"I can't believe they are gone. It will be so empty without them," – Angela Weber, friend.
Charlie decided to not leave a comment. Since he was going with us we didn't want any attention on him so more people would see him. It only raised the risk of people recognizing him.
The school even had a memorial for them both. Big photos were printed up of them and everyone shared nice memories. I knew nothing of the funeral since the thought of them dead shook me to the core. A funeral would be too much. Memorials were happier. People remembering the things they loved. I even remember when they had to design the tombstone. My mother didn't want anything to do with it but Esme insisted on doing something beautiful. Just leaving them a 'big rock with scribbles' would make it seem like no one cared and neither Alice nor Esme could imagine anyone thinking that.
"Renesmee!" Jacob yelled from the living room and I wiped away my tears.
"Yes?"
"Want to join me?" he yelled and I could hear the smile on his lips. I made sure there were no traces from my tears and walked out to the living room.
"I would love to," I smiled to him and he held his hand out to me.
"Come here," he took my hand and spun me around in his arms before we walked over to the couch.
"So what have you been cooking up while I was locked up in that room?" I teased him.
"Nothing special," he shrugged his shoulders and put a on a DVD. "…just a little something."
"This will be interesting," I smirked and he sat down beside me. He placed a light kiss on my lips and turned to remote towards the TV.
As sweet music started playing I realized it wasn't a quote on quote 'normal' movie. With a confused look I turned to Jacob and he was smiling.
"Just watch," he smiled and I turned my eyes back to the TV. It all started with a picture of me and Jacob on my birthday at the beach. Someone had taken a sneaky picture of me and Jacob trying to share a discrete kiss. I laughed at the picture and he hugged me tighter. Then video of me blowing out the candles of the cake played. I saw Jacob behind me and his eyes said it all…he was admiring me. Then it was me and him eating and he had a mouth full of cake as we laughed. The camera swept across the people around us and it was clear we didn't even notice anyone else. They all gave us sweet and silly looks that we of course didn't notice. We were to in love. The camera zoomed in on me and Jacob and my face was covered in a smile without me even looking at him. Then I turned my eyes to him and he leaned in to whisper something. I didn't need to read his lips. I remember his words.
"I hope that too," Jacob whispered in my ear as his lips moved along on the video.
I smiled and continued watching. A clip of me sitting in Jacob's lap at Charlie's place came up quickly, then a clip of Jacob walking around in a jewelry store. Rosalie was walking along with him as they looked at rings. I saw that Alice was filming when she walked past a mirror. A quick clip of Rosalie and Jacob and it looked like they were arguing a bit.
"She wanted me to choose a bigger ring," Jacob whispered in my ear and explained the clip. I laughed and watched Jacob proudly point at the ring that would later become my engagement ring, another sneaky picture of me sitting in Jacob's lap after he proposed for the second time in the forest.
Then it was me trying on dresses and looking at pictures with the girls. A clip of Jacob in a clothing store with my dad, Carlisle, Billy and Charlie flew by and I gasped with a smile.
"Yeah.. that happened," he chuckled and I continued watching.
Clips of me at the morning of the wedding came on, Rosalie and Alice getting me ready, my mom giving me the hair pin, me getting into my dress and shoes, me waiting for my turn to walk down the aisle. Some smaller clips with my mother, Rosalie and Alice walking down the aisle played before it was back to me standing with my dad and taking deep breaths. Daniella throwing rose petals along the aisle.
When the moment of me walking down the aisle played the screen split. On the right was Jacob's face when he saw me and on the left was my reaction. The split screen disappeared and blended into a view when we were standing face to face at the aisle. We put on each other's rings and our lips moved along with the beautiful words.
"I do," we said at the same time on the clip. When we kissed the video slowed down a bit and I felt my cheeks blush. Then we walked down the aisle and the sweet moment we shared right after was played. Our first dance was quickly shown and turned into our second dance.
"Who has done all of this?" I asked without looking away from the amazing effects and memories.
"I have. Alice gave me the tapes and Bella put it on the CD," he murmured in my ear.
Then a bunch of clips played by so quickly I almost couldn't see them, us on Dartmouth and other events. It all ended with one last clip of us sharing our first kiss as husband and wife.
The further our lips got from each other the darker the screen got but the sweet music never stopped. The song we had danced to at our wedding made me smile.
He took my hands in his and pulled me off the couch. As he intertwined our hands and held them up he took my other hand and placed it on his shoulder. I kept it there as he slid his hand to grip the curve of my hip. We started moving and it all felt perfect. He slowly leaned closer and surprised me big time..
"Like a river flows, surely to the sea. Darling so it goes," he sang in my ear and took my hand in his. My eyes were set deep into his eyes as he watched our hands intertwine. "…something's are meant to be." With one of his arms wrapped around my back he pulled me closer and lifted me up with a spin while my other hand was still in his. "..take my hand," he quickly kissed my hand. "…take my whole life too," he sang and started to slow down the spin. I was carefully brought lower down in his arms as he danced around with us. ".. for I can't help falling in love with you," my feet finally touched the ground and the dance was back to normal. Both feet on the ground, hands intertwined and his one hand on my hip as my hand laid on his shoulder. "…for I can't help falling in love with you," he finished with a kiss as the song came to an end. As he pulled our lips apart I felt my own tremble for more. He looked deep into my eyes and I right back. I let my hand slide from his shoulder and down to his chest and placed my head carefully on it. Only when I closed my eyes I realized I had tears falling down my cheek. He put his head on mine as we kept dancing.
I NEVER want this moment to end, I thought and nuzzled my face against his warm chest that always brought me comfort. Inside this big muscular and sometimes intimidating body was an even bigger heart. He placed a kiss on the top of my head as his hand caressed my back.
Jacob might not always be the most romantic guy but when he is romantic…he takes it to a new level.
