Chapter 18: Two days later

(Renesmee's Pov.)

I was a little bit frightened to be playing with my little brother, but I trusted him. When I showed him the visions, I had showed him just a glimpse of how painful it had been. He had told me that he understood. I had also wanted to keep our little connection a secret. He seemed to have my gift, but only with me. I don't know why we didn't want to tell anyone, it just seemed like a cool secret.

As I watched, Eddie started crawling around happily. He really was a happy baby. I know he didn't mean to hurt me, either times. He was scared, and he hadn't understood at the time. But as he seemed to grow in the short time he's been born, his intelligence had tripled.

I smile at him, rolling around and occasionally bumping into me. I noticed that my entire family were watching, which bothered me. He wouldn't hurt me.

Jacob came over and sat with us. He was surprisingly good with Eddie, and it made me a bit jealous at the attention he was giving him. But it was okay, I guess.

My little brother crawled over to me, and placed his hand on my face, pretending to play with my cheeks. He knew I didn't want anyone to know how we spoke to each other. Why were you so mean to Mommy? You were yelling and it was scary. He questioned, showing me the fight.

I wince and answer back, I've had a lot of emotions bottled up inside me for a while now, Bud. I think I just couldn't hold it in anymore. I was mad at Mommy for taking me away from my Jacob, and for yelling at Aunt Rose. I guess I was a little jealous too. I admit it, I wanted Mommy to give me attention too. But you had just been born, it was selfish of me.

No it wasn't! He protested. I had just hurt you, really, really bad. You had every right to be the center of attention.

I smile down at my little brother. He starts playing memories of the music he heard when he was in the womb, and asks me with his mind who it was. "Me." I answer, not thinking. Jacob raises his eyebrows at us and I realize we've had our hands on each other's faces for about two minutes. It was also pretty weird that I was randomly smiling at him. And don't forget to mention I had just blurted out a word when no one was talking.

"I've been trying to get your attention Ness. I'm starting to think you like him more than me." Jacob pouts. I giggle at him and climb into his lap while pressing my hand to his cheek. I don't. I like you both equally. It's just that he's my flesh and blood brother, you're my bestest friend.

He tackles me in a hug, pulling Eddie along with us. Eddie and I are so small together that we can both sit on Jacob's chest with room to move around. Jacob grabs mine and Eddie's abdomen and throws us up in the air. We squeal in excitement as he throws us over his shoulder.

He sets me down and grabs Eddie and throws him up in the air. Eddie screams in delight. As Jacob throws Eddie one more time, Daddy flies into the room, kicks Jacob in the side so hard that he flies across the room, and grabs Eddie in one motion.

Daddy looks confused, and then very annoyed. "Don't touch my child again mongrel. And Bella, Love, take your shield off of them."

Momma appears at his side in an instant, looking slightly annoyed. "My shield isn't up, Sweetheart. Why would you think that?"

Daddy looked at me, Jake, and Eddie. Eddie tries to push himself out of Daddy's arms, so Daddy puts him down by me. Momma and Daddy continue talking, but I only have ears for my brother.

He places his hand on my neck discreetly, pushing thoughts into my head. I'm all over this big sister. I raise my eyebrows at him. You have a shield? Why didn't you tell me?

He looks at me like I'm an idiot. You know when I burned you and pushed you away? That was my shield doing its job. It was protecting me. I wanted to give you time to hide our communication system. Bury it deep within. Ready? I'm taking it down.

Daddy shakes his head and he can hear our thought. He looks at Mommy and asks again, "Are you sure your shield wasn't up Love? Not that I'm doubting you, it just seemed like the only explanation."

"Well, I might have without knowing. I don't know." Mom answers.

They seem to let it go and Daddy apologizes to Jacob. He had freaked out because he heard Eddie screaming and couldn't see either of their thoughts to know why. Daddy and Momma look at each other and seem to come to some sort of sad agreement.

They settle all of our entire family (Grandpa Carlisle and all of them) onto the couches. Dad and Mom at the chair that the "master" sits in.

"We're leaving."

(A/N Again, sorry if it seemed like Jake and Edward were out of character. If you had a problem please review. Reviews make me want to update more!)
