As I looked out of our circular window into the dark, cloudy day, I couldn’t help but think of the first day Edward and I were on Isle Esme. I didn’t quite know why today of all days reminded me of that. Was it fear, was it acceleration, was it acceptance? Was it pure adrenaline that ran through my blood-dormant veins? It bothered me that I didn’t know.
I could feel yet another pang of presence in me as I was lost in thought. But this presence was different. This was the cold, hard, honey sweet smelling presence of a certain vampire that I loved. I turned around to see Edward’s face a mixture of concern and confusion, something a mind-reading vampire usually wouldn’t go through. But with a vampire shield as a wife, I’ve seen that look before. I imagined that the look on his face was there because of what I was doing. Standing in the corner of our cottage, staring out the window, no movement or sound coming from me whatsoever. The only times I ever did that were on certain occasions when something was wrong. He knew me too well.
“Love, what’s wrong?” Edward soothed.
“I’m not quite sure. I need something to cheer me up.” He knew what I was talking about.
Without a second of thought, he pulled me into his arms and started kissing me the way I always loved. Playfully but passionately.
Within seconds, I felt better.
Another vampire that I loved and truthfully wasn’t thinking about walked into the room just then.
“Having fun?” Renesmee asked, always the mature one. “So much for working on music, Dad.”
My eyes still sparkled and glistened when she called Edward Dad.
“Speaking of working, how’s your homework going, missy?” Edward spoke in his fatherly voice that I loved.
“It’s a work in progress.” She answered.
“Alright, come here.” I said to her, walking with my vampire speed over to the couch.
She sat on my lap, while I played with her beautiful thick brown curls. It was times like this when I thought of myself as an actual mother. It was an amazing feeling.
“What do you have left to do for homework?” I asked, acting responsible.
“Just some math, but Grandpa is helping me with that when he comes over tonight.” She answered.
Charlie was an issue that was getting resolved more and more every time we saw him. Edward always has to give a lecture to Nessie - which is now what we all call her, considering Renesmee can be a mouthful; but it’s still her legal name – about how to keep control and not to let her full vampire instincts take over, while I got ready and sometimes stuck an ear in to make sure that there was nothing extra that was important for me to add considering Charlie was going to be very close to her all night.
Charlie was starting to feel very comfortable at our house. We usually spent most of the time in the main Cullen house, but sometimes we would come back here to sit on the couch and talk, while Charlie drank his coffee and we would occasionally press the mug to our lips to make it look like we were drinking it.
I was amazed at how revolting human food had become. It was times like those that I wished that I had listened to my dad and not drank coffee as a human.
One of the good things about seeing him so much is that he doesn’t notice as much when my eyes change color. I’m lucky that my eyes were brown as a human, because that way they just look like they lightened up when they’re gold. I think that he’s finally starting to accept the way I look and not be astonished every time he sees me.
My thoughts were interrupted by the feel of a small, slightly cold hand on my cheek, and seconds later a picture of Charlie standing in the main Cullen doorway in my head.
I would never get over how amazing Nessie’s talent was. By one simple touch she could put a very vivid memory picture into anyone’s head.
“I can’t wait to see him.” Nessie said. She’s grown very attached to her Grandpa, and though he might complain about making him a Grandpa “so young”, he loves to see her as well.
Charlie doesn’t have much practice with little kids. I moved out with my mom when I was too little to talk or go to school, and whenever I came for about two weeks over the summers when I was little, I didn’t talk much, and I still wasn’t in school. It was amazing seeing his loving instincts.
“I know. Just remember the rules. Dad will go over them again before Grandpa comes.” I loved calling Edward Dad. And I might be wrong, but I’m almost positive that I see the corners of his mouth pull up every time someone calls him that or refers to him as Dad.
“I know, I know.”
“Yeah, you know.” I said.
“Alright, sweetie. Come here so I can explain the guidelines again.” Edward told her, walking over to the seat right next to me on the couch. I decided that I’d stay right here and listen to everything he says this time.
“Now, what do you do if you start to get thirsty?” He quizzed.
“Excuse myself to the bathroom, take deep breaths, and then come out when I can handle it.” She answered perfectly.
“And if you can’t get control of yourself easily, then you come get me or Mommy.” He told her, watching me smile and marvel as he called me Mommy. I loved it when he did.
“Okay. I will.” She responded.
“And try as hard as you can to not show Grandpa things too extravagant.” He advised her.
“I won’t.” And then as if to back what she said up, she put her little hand lightly to his cheek.
“That would be fine to show him.” He said after a minute of watching some picture that I wasn’t sure of in his mind.
Nessie picked up on my curious expression and moved her hand to my cheek.
I saw something so beautiful, so perfect, that for a second I thought that maybe Charlie would suspect something.
It was Edward.
Beautiful.
“So how about I show him this.” Nessie said with a bit of sassy edge to her voice.
She then put one of her hands on my cheek and one of them on Edward’s.
And we both saw what we were doing in front of our little kid not ten minutes ago.
Edward, beautiful as ever, holding me tight to his chest, kissing me down my neck, and me looking very vulnerable in almost an embarrassing way.
“No!” Edward and I said at exactly the same moment.
She started chuckling, jumped down off of his lap and wandered into her room, while Edward and I watched after her in amazement.
“Always the adult.” He commented.
“Yup. What are we going to do with her?”
“I’m thinking vampire boarding school.”
“I’m thinking you might be on to something.” I said as I climbed onto him for another kiss. I could still feel that electric pull that brings him to kiss me even though I’m not a mortal anymore. I was worried a while ago that we were going to lose that. But sure enough, it’s still there. One of my favorite things about being a vampire, Edward didn’t hold back while kissing me. And now that the problem of my mortality is out of the way, he spends less time telling me that us having any physical contact was a life and death situation. If he ever lost control…
After so many feelings of presence today, you would think that every single one would feel the same. But yet, this next presence that was watching us was more embarrassing then our daughter’s presence.
“Wow. Renee and I didn’t do that with a little kid around.” A gruff voice said.
“Dad! Why are you in here? You usually go into the main house first.” I said frantically to Charlie, trying to change the subject he was starting on.
“Well, change is good. How about you two change your position.” He suggested sternly, clearly looking at me lying on Edward.
“Dad, we’re married and we have a kid. Do you really have to do this?” I asked him rhetorically.
But the look on his face told me that he wasn’t changing his mind.
I shifted off of Edward onto the couch seat next to him. Charlie was still eyeing Edward.
“Do you want me to take Nessie out while you two continue?” Charlie asked sarcastically.
“Charlie, we don’t do anything over the top while she’s here. We’re very responsible about that.” Edward said as polite as ever.
“Mhm. Alright. I just don’t like it. You’re only nineteen, for crying out loud, and you already have a family of your own. It took me twice as long as it took you two to find someone that I loved.” He compromised.
“And I truly love Bella with all of my heart. I promise you that.” Edward said, mesmerizing people with his voice and eyes yet again.
Charlie thought it over for a second. “I know. There’s no doubt in my mind that you do. I can see that. And even though you have done some things that made me resent you for a while – nothing personal; you know what I’m referring to – you’re still my son-in-law, and if Bella chose you, then you must be a decent person.”
I was shocked silent.
All I could do was move my finger signaling him to come over to me.
When he came over I stood up and gave him a big hug, holding my breath the whole time.
“Thank you.” I whispered in his ear, though I knew that Edward could hear.
“Renesmee. Grandpa’s here.” I yelled to her when I backed away from Charlie.
“Grandpa!” She came running in, giggling.
“Oh, hi sweetie. You get cuter and more energetic every time I see you.” Charlie told her.
Edward came up behind me then and put his arms around me. I held him tight to me, not believing that less than two years ago, he was just another face among all of the other students at Forks High School. Now, it was an insult to even think of him as “just another face”.
“Bella, Edward; I’m gonna be helping Nessie with her math homework, so if you two were in the middle of something before…” Charlie told us, me being grateful.
“They sure were.” Nessie said in a sly voice.
“Oh, really? What were you two doing?” Charlie asked, obviously changing his mind about us leaving.
But mine and Edward’s quick vampire thinking together moved at lightning speed.
“Bella was actually reading and I was working on music. It amazes me that she still reads Wuthering Heights over and over and over again. Is Heathcliff really that interesting?” Edward tried to change the way the conversation was going with a question. Smart, but Charlie was a cop, so it didn’t work.
He knew that I knew that.
“Bella, I’m surprised that you haven’t told your husband that the question distracting bit doesn’t work on a cop.” But I didn’t have to – This was another part of Edward’s plan. Obviously he could read Charlie’s mind, and he knew that the question distracting bit wouldn’t work. I wondered if I would ever be as quick and smart as Edward.
But, we were off that subject, so I was okay with whatever was going to happen next.
“Dad, why don’t we go to the main house to see everyone? I know how you love to see Alice.” I suggested.
“Okay. Let’s go Nessie.” Charlie told her.
Edward and I hung back for a few extra minutes, pretending to get our things together and lock the door.
As soon as Charlie and Nessie were out of earshot, I turned to face Edward. There was a very strange expression on his face, and it looked a little bit like disbelief and astonishment.
“What’s wrong?” I quickly jumped to that conclusion, considering he reads minds, and disbelief is usually a very rare occurrence for him.
“Your father is actually starting to accept me. After all of the unremarkably wrong things I have done. Two years ago, nearly getting you killed. Last spring, leaving you all alone to handle the most retched situations possible. And only a couple of months ago, completely putting your life on the line over and over again. Unbelievable.” He answered, still shocked.
“He realizes that you are what I want, what I always will want, and what I have. Forever. He’s finally becoming rational with you.” I told him, feeling a little bit amazed at how Charlie accepted him as well.
“Yes. And I’m glad.” He said while leaning in to kiss me.
The kiss was powerful, beautiful, and strong - just like our relationship - as always.
Edward opened the door and held it open for me, always the gentleman. We walked together toward the house, both feeling perfectly at ease.
Then a thought occurred to me.
“Is Jasper alright to see Charlie?” I wondered, now a little concerned.
“Perfect. He just went hunting a couple of hours ago.” Edward answered, relaxing my worried thoughts.
“And you?” I asked him. We hadn’t gone hunting for a couple of weeks.
“I’ll be fine. I’ve learned to control my thirst pretty well lately.”
“One hundred and eight years of practice.” I mumbled.
“Bella, you are doing an impeccable job for a vampire of your age. You have been doing amazing, and you will for a while. How is your thirst right now?” He asked casually, obviously not overly concerned, having too much faith in me yet again.
“I’m not thirsty today. I am a little bit worried about Renesmee though.” I admitted.
“She’ll be okay. We went over all of the guidelines with her. And besides, she has a great role model, Mommy.” He said in my ear, comforting.
It was astonishing that he knew exactly what made me smile, even though he couldn’t read my mind.
“The same goes for you, Daddy.” I said in his ear this time.
He chuckled. “You have no idea how I love being called that. I never thought I would in all of my years of existence.” He told me, while I thought almost the same exact thing.
We walked into the house then, watching Emmett smirk for no apparent reason, just as usual.
“Hello. Where’s Alice?” I asked as I looked around, noticing the smallest vampire was missing.
“In here, Bella!” Alice shouted from the kitchen.
Why was she in the kitchen? I decided to go see what she was doing.
When I got in the kitchen, I went over to Alice, standing in front of the coffee pot.
Oh. Just another human act.
She had nine coffee mugs out in front of her, waiting perfectly motionless for the coffee to be ready. She looked strange, but I couldn’t tell why.
“Bella…” She started, uneasy.
“What is it, Alice?” I wondered, a little alarmed now.
“Do you remember how Edward used to speak reluctantly about me?” She asked.
“Yes…” I answered quickly, trying to get more out of her.
“And do you remember why?”
Of course I did.
“Because you saw me as a vampire and…”
I suddenly realized part of the problem.
“Alice?” My voice was thick with worry.
No answer.
“Alice!” The worry had turned into pure fear.
I had to get more out of her.
“Edward! Jasper!” I shouted out to them, trying to keep my voice calm.
They both came rushing in, but were still trying to look casual for Charlie.
“What’s wrong?” Edward asked, alarmed, placing his hand on my lower back, just like he always did when he was worried about me.
“I don’t exactly know. Alice saw something, she said a couple of words to me, but then she just stopped, and now she won’t answer me.” I explained quickly.
“Alice? Alice, what’s wrong? You don’t have to speak, just think it.” Edward told her as Jasper took her hand in his.
Suddenly, Edward’s face turned such a strange shade of pale; it was literally pure white, with no emotion on his face.
“We have to get Charlie out of here. Now.”
And the way that Edward said that, it meant that we had no choice whatsoever.
