Renesmee POV
I had my prey in sight as I sat in the tree. A growl was rising from my chest as I carefully snuck closer and closer. Right when I was about to pounce on it Jacob jumped on it and I heard the neck break. I jumped down from the tree and stomped over to him as he proudly stood next to the prey.
"That's cheating!" I shouted to Jacob as he barked. "...I saw it first!"
He let out a loud bark and pushed to animal over to me. I shook my head and was too thirsty to ignore the animal. My teeth sunk into the neck as I drained it quickly. When I looked up Jacob was in human form and the sun was setting behind him over the trees.
"You took my win," he grinned with his hands on his hips.
"You took out my prey before I could," I muttered.
"Liar," he smirked and pulled me in for a kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck and jumped up into his arms.
"I'm full," I murmured against his lips. He pulled away and looked at me.
"Liar," he smirked and pushed us up against a tree. As his lips roamed over my neck my mind went to counting the hours we had spent making love on this trip. Not even my half vampire brain could do such math.
After we added a few hours to that stack of love making we walked back to the house hand in hand. Jacob said he needed a shower to get the smell of animal off him. I of course couldn't pass the opportunity and teased him with a cocky 'Good luck, dog'.
I tried on some of the clothes I had bought in town a few days ago as he was in the shower and happily hung them up in the big closet. His shower took a little long so I decided to get the mood set for yet another romantic evening. The rain had started to come down hard outside and only made the atmosphere more romantic with the pattering fireplace. I took one of the CD's Jacob had made for our one year anniversary that was full of love songs and it all filled the room. When it felt like the night couldn't get any better the thunder started.
It might seem straight that I love the thunder so much but it reminds me of such great times. Family baseball games, Jacob and me playing, staying up late telling horror stories, counting how far away the thunder was and in my eyes the thunder was beautiful. The light just looked so magical against the dark night sky. It mesmerized me every time. When I heard Jacob get out of the shower and his wet feet hit the floor I turned around.
"You are soaking down the house!" I squealed at the puddle around his feet.
"But it's a thunderstorm. It's time to tell horror stories," he said innocently and I shook my head.
"Get dry first."
"A long, long time ago there was a monster that lived in a lake…" he began and I knew where he was going. He has his arms out with his hands forming claw like movements and a hunch back. "…that monster would devour anything that came in its way…" he walked even closer to me.
"Get. Dry," I said and leaned against the back of the couch with my hand on my hip.
"Do you know what that creatures name was?"
"I dare you to say it," I cocked my head and narrowed my eyes in anticipation. When he didn't move I assumed he accepted defeat and I started to flip through the DVD's again. "…get dry now."
He let out a big sigh and started to walk away. I chuckled at his little dramatic scene and found a DVD when his arms wrapped around me.
"LOCH NESSIE!" he yelled and lifted me up from behind. I flew around in his arms and he spun us around.
"JACOB!" I squealed and panicked when he moved us to the open slide door. "NO JACOB! I'M WARNING YOU!"
"ARE YOU GOING TO DEVOUR ME IF I DO?" he said in a silly voice and spun us out on the stone floor. The water was warm as it dripped down on us. He kept spinning us around and I felt like a ragdoll in his arms. My stomach started to hurt from all the laughter and he put my feet back on the ground but his arms still wrapped around me.
"I am going to kill you," I laughed as my hair started to stick to my skin.
"Guess that shower was unnecessary," he laughed and took my hands. We stood closer to each other and he picked me up for another spin. I took his hand in mine as his other one was wrapped behind my back to hold me up.
"Another dance? Jacob Black you are full of surprises!" I laughed as he slowed down the dance. He placed his forehead against mine and the water dripped down his face. The music was still playing inside and created an even more romantic moment. "What song is this?"
"Cider sky – Northern lights," he murmured in my ear.
"I like it," I smiled to him and he started to hum along with the song.
After a while he scooped me up in his arms and we took a long hot shower. Every moment I got to enjoy him was as amazing. When we got out of the shower I laughed at him.
"What?" he asked confused and tried to look at his back.
"I made scratch marks on you," I pouted and let my fingers slide across the little red marks that were starting to go away.
"Naughty," he raised his eyebrows and looked at them in the mirror.
"I'm sorry," I kissed them lightly and he hugged me.
"I might have to punish you now," he grinned and I chuckled.
"What you see as punishment is more enjoyable than the things I see as punishment," I murmured and kissed him.
"Oh, really?" he cocked his head.
"I would take a lifetime of that sentence," I grinned and nibbled on his ear lobe. He pulled a big fluffy robe over my shoulders as he carried me out to the couch.
"So cute," he chuckled when the towel fell down over my face and I ripped it away.
"You kind of ruined the romantic night I had planned," I muttered to him.
"I'm sorry," he pouted and cuddled up next to me. "..What did you have planned?"
"Pretty much what we just did," I smirked and showed him my side of the amazing shower.
"Well then I guess I will have to make it up to you," he grinned and kissed from my lips and down to my stomach. "..if you don't mind?" he murmured against my skin.
"Hmmm…." I muttered and looked down at him. "…depends on how good your apology is."
"I will do my best," he mumbled and started his apology.
His apology was better than good. It went a bit further than an 'oral apology' and ended with him on top of me and us panting.
"How many more times do you think we can do this in a day without getting tired of it?" I chuckled to him.
"I have a couple of more times to go," he laughed and I cupped his face in my hands for a kiss.
"That's why I married you," I joked and he nibbled on my lip.
"We are never going to get away from this 'activity' on this island," he chuckled.
"Probably not," I laughed with him as he laid his head on my chest and I stroked his hair. ".. but its not a bad way to pass the time."
"Can't complain," he murmured. I thought of something funny and started to laugh. "..what?" he asked and looked up at me.
"My parents almost caught us when they came to pick up the kids," I buried my face in my hands as we laughed. "..they must think we are animals."
"Your parents had their time too," he chuckled and I made a barf gesture. ".. at least you never walked in on them."
"Oh and you did?" I chuckled. When he got quiet I started to laugh. "Oh you poor thing!" I said and wrapped my arms around his head.
"Traumatized for the rest of my life," he pretended to cry. "I almost think they let me walk in just to punish me for coming over without telling them."
"Did you hear them coming before we left for the honeymoon?" I asked in suspicion.
"I might have heard them.. a little," he whispered.
"You are just the worst."
"Sometimes," he smirked and kissed me. I looked over at the watch.
"It's almost morning," I gasped and smirked at him. "…such a stud," I kissed him as he laughed.
"Guess we should call the kids soon? Your parents promised to have them up by the same time every day," he said and nuzzled his face against my chest.
"Only three more days until we will see them," I murmured with a smile.
"Then its back to diapers and drool," we laughed.
"How long are you going to stay home until you go to…?" I couldn't finish the sentence but he knew what I meant.
"Not too long," he said with a sad tone.
"All and all?"
"About a week probably," he said and I pulled him closer.
"I'm gonna miss you," I whispered to him. "Our first New Year's as a family and you won't be there."
"I know," he murmured. "I'm sorry."
"Don't be. You have to be there for your sister," I assured him. He placed a light kiss on my lips and right when we were about to embark on another amazing night the phone interrupted.
"Hold that thought," Jacob moaned and leaned over to get the phone. He looked surprised and held it up to me. "…its your mom."
Bella POV
"There is sweet music here that softer falls than petals from blown roses on the grass, or night-dews on still waters between walls, of shadowy granite, in a gleaming pass; music that was gentler on the spirit lies, than tired eyelids upon tired eyes; music that brings sweet sleep down from the blissful skies. Here are cool mosses deep, and in the stream the long-leaved flowers weep, and from the craggy ledge the poppy hangs in sleep," I slowly closed the book when I heard the kids breaths slowdown in deep, deep sleep. Renesmee always loved when I read that one to her. It made me feel like she was closer to me every time I heard it. Before I walked out I carefully made sure Anthony wouldn't drop the new wolf toy he had gotten today. It laid tightly wrapped in his arms and he nuzzled his face against it with a yawn.
When I walked out of the room Edward was washing the dishes from the messy dinner we had. I hugged him from behind and kissed his back.
"I love you," I murmured and he put down the dishes to turn around and hug me.
"I love you too," he smiled and kissed me. "…anything in mind?" he raised his eyebrow and gave me that crooked smile that I love.
"Tomorrow night maybe," I grinned and he chuckled. "I was going through my messages earlier…"
"Oh," Edward breathed quietly.
"Yeah," I mumbled and stepped back to lean against the kitchen island. "..SOMEONE had sent a picture of me to Renesmee," I crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow.
"What? Was Emmett here today?" he said innocently.
"Yeah because he would send a picture of me with hair rollers in my hair and write 'Don't I look beautiful?' with it," I shook my head with a smile as he shook his head too. My poker face would never be as good as his was.
"Well at least he wrote something true, you are beautiful," he said and gestured his hand along my body.
"Nice save," I rolled my eyes and kissed him. "…but I will make you pay for that tomorrow."
"Looking forward to it," he grinned and grabbed my rear. "..but why tomorrow? The kids are sleeping."
"Nope, not even when they are sleeping. Alice will pick them up tomorrow," I explained and playfully nudged his chest. "…now let's watch some movies before they wake up."
"As you wish," he grinned and carried me over to the couch.
Morning
Edward and I were at the table, feeding the kids as Edward read a text. He sighed heavily and I asked what was wrong.
"Alice can't come today. Something came in the way I guess," he said. I wonder how she didn't see it before. How could ANYTHING come in the way of her plans?
I took down my shield and smirked at him.
So no revenge tonight? I thought to him and he chuckled.
"As much as I would like that…" he murmured and sat down beside me. "…not tonight."
"What happens tonight?" A.J asked and I chuckled.
"Nothing," I said and stroked his cheek while I gave Edward a glance. "..apparently."
"Well not tonight," he smirked at me.
"I want daddy to come home," Sarah said.
"They will be home soon," I said and stroked her cheek.
"I know but why can't they come home sooner?" she pouted.
"Because even mommy's and daddy's need some time alone," Edward said to her and winked at me.
"Are they mad at us?" Anthony asked with a sad look on his face.
"No!" I assured him right away. "No, they are not mad at you. They miss you very much and want to see you as soon as possible." I said and A.J looked deep in thought and I assured myself that A.J understood since Edward didn't seem to object. If A.J was still thinking his parents didn't love him then Edward would have heard it. But then Edward chuckled and I looked at him.
"Can I have frozen yoghurt?" A.J asked and I laughed with Edward.
"What kind?" he asked and walked over to the fridge as I stroked A.J's hair.
"Strawberry!" he happily squealed and Sarah smiled with him. She was always smiling as long as everyone around her was happy. Especially when A.J was happy.
Is it possible that Sarah is just as pure minded and sweet as Seth?I thought to Edward and he seemed to think of it for the first time as he put down A.J's yoghurt in front of him.
"Maybe," Edward whispered as he kissed my cheek and sat down at the table.
"I had a pretty dream last night," Sarah gave us a sweet smile and picked up a crayon.
"Really? Show me?" I leaned over to her and she put her hand on my cheek. It was the family at a beach and it seemed familiar.. I hid my suspicion and told her how special it was. Even when I looked at Edward his face was a mix between happiness and pain.
"I dreamed about froyo," Anthony said happily. "..it was great."
"Your dream interrupted mine," Sarah pouted. "..in the middle of it all a big froyo box appeared."
"I'm sorry," A.J said and took her hand. "..here," he handed her his froyo and she politely declined.
"Alice told me that I would get a gift the next time I see her," Sarah smiled. ".. but I have already seen it."
"You have? What is it?" I asked and tried to sound interested.
"A blue bag, it's really pretty."
"Well pretend to be surprised," Edward smiled and Sarah promised.
"I want to get a bike," A.J stated and I laughed at how spoiled they are.
"All hope is lost," I mumbled to Edward and he laughed.
"SETH!" Sarah squealed happily and I heard him approaching the house. Edward opened the door and we all greeted him happily.
"Hey, princess!" he picked up Sarah and she giggled.
"I missed you," she smiled and hugged him.
"I missed you too. I actually have something for you," he said and they sat down over on the couch. Both Edward and I listened in on them.
"What is it?" she asked with pure excitement and he dug in his pocket.
"Close your eyes," he said she did as he said. He put a little necklace around her neck and Edward brought over a little mirror. "Open."
The second her little eyes flickered open she smiled. "Pretty!" Around her neck a little silver key was hanging with a heart next to it.
"You really like it?" Seth asked and I could almost hear how relieved he was.
"REALLY PRETTY!" she squealed and put the necklace in her hand.
"Glad you think so," Seth chuckled and Sarah hugged him.
"What did she get?" Anthony asked me.
"A necklace," I smiled to him.
"Iu!" Anthony made a sad face. "..boring."
"Don't think I forgot about you big guy!" Seth chuckled and as he walked over to us Edward patted him on the back.
"She really liked it," he assured Seth with a smile.
"Thanks man," Seth shook Edwards hand and his smile lit up even more. Seth kept walking to us and hunched down beside Anthony who was still in his high chair. "…now this is all for you."
"Me?" A.J pointed to himself with big eyes as Seth nodded.
"Your dad asked me to give it to you while he was gone. So you wouldn't miss him too much," Seth smiled and handed him a little link to put on his necklace. I know Seth was smoother than Jacob but he still looked clumsy as he put the little brown wolf on A.J's necklace.
"Wolf?" Anthony mumbled and looked at it. "…daddy?"
We all laughed at his cute comment and Seth nodded.
"That's actually his great grandfathers," Seth pointed to the little wolf.
"He wolf too?"
"Yes."
"I wolf?" Anthony pointed to himself once more.
"Yes," Sarah answered and we all looked at her. She was casually eating some peanuts and holding her necklace.
"How do you know Sarah?" I asked.
"I saw," Sarah pointed to her head and strolled over to Seth. She crawled up on his lap that he hunched down on to keep balance and leaned her head against his chest.
"Could you show me?" Seth asked and Sarah shrugged her shoulders. I could see Seth's eyes fly around in wonder as she showed her and felt a bit jealous that I didn't see it myself. "…it's true," Seth mumbled and looked at us.
"I wolf?" Anthony smiled.
"Here," Sarah leaned over to show him and his face turned in surprise.
"I'm brown," Anthony stated as he watched Sarah's vision. "...like daddy."
I hunched down beside them and asked for Sarah to show me. There he was… Anthony was shaking from a strong emotion and bursting down on all four with a reddish brown fur covering his body. His eyes were the same as Jacob's but with a hint of Renesmee behind them. Even a bit of Edward I think..
"Just like Jacob," I murmured to myself and smiled at A.J. "...like daddy."
"I WOLF!" he squealed happily and clapped his hands.
"Jacob is going to be so happy!" I was surprised that I myself, Isabella Marie Cullen, squealed with happiness and clapped my hands like A.J. And by the look on everyone's faces they were just as surprised. I cleared my throat and abruptly stopped. ".. whatever."
Edward chuckled quietly and wrapped his arms around me. "Is daddy going to be happy, Sarah?"
"Daddy wants Anthony too be happy, that's all." She said determined and we all smiled at her sweetness.
"You might be the most precious thing on this earth!" I smiled and stroked her head.
"HEY!" Anthony pouted.
"You too," I laughed and kissed his cheek.
"Could we go out today, Seth?" Sarah asked and he chuckled.
"Anything you want!" Seth smiled.
"I should call Jacob while you guys go out!" I smiled and ran to the phone.
