It was beginning to get dark before they made their way downstairs ,
Emmett and rose were sat showing henry books , carlisle and esme were playing backgammon neither couple looked up ,
"Wheres nessie" asked Edward,
"With jasper and Alice at the cottage" smiled carlisle, edward frowned,
"What is it" asked bella,
"I'm not sure , everyone is thinking random things like they are trying to keep something from me"
"Ok weird" Bella turned towards the door, "lets go get Renesmee" she smiled , at that moment Emmett jumped up , making henry snarl,
"Hey lil sis how about a re match " he laughed flexing his muscles, everyone froze .
"Yeah ok , outside then" she knew they were up to something so decided to play along.
"Are you sure your okay" Edward whispered in her ear."Sure lets just play along with it" she smiled.
They followed them outside onto the porch ,the broken rock Emmett had demolished after his first defeat was still there as a monument to bella.
"Shall we" she smiled pointing to the remains , emmett looked smug and sat down his arm ready , bella knelt and placed her hand in his. It was over in seconds bella had just smiled at Emmett and lunged his arm down , this time he picked her up and swung her round laughing,
"Yep you are definatly my lil sister"
Alice and jasper appeared from behind the trees with nessie , Bella ran to her daughter , Jasper tensed at first but Alice took his hand and smiled.
"Please can I stay with Alice tonight daddy, shes going to give me a mancure" she giggled , bella laughed
"Thats a man- i- cure honey and yes if you want to , dont you want to come home with me and daddy" she asked
"Not tonight , please" she begged
Edwards eyes narrowed , "what" bella whispered
"i dont kow Alice and jasper are blocking me too" he sighed
"I'm sure its nothing , come on lets go home" she smiled taking his hand and leading him into the trees.
They arrived at the cottage to find a note pinned to the door , Edward opened it.
Edward and Bella,
You need to remember,
love
Alice , Jasper and Renesmee
xoxo
Bella looked at Edward and they unlocked the door,
"Rememeber what exactly" said Bella and then the answer was revealed infront of them was an exact copy of the inside of the house on Isle Esme , the colours , the decor and the large white bed from their room was covered in rose petals and a hundred candles flickered all over the floor and Claire de lune was playing softly in the background.
They entered the cottage , she knew if crying was possible she would have done.
"Oh Edward " she threw her arms around his neck and kissed him.
"I love our family , thatswhy they were blocking you" she laughed , Edward didnt say anything he just looked around the room,
"What ? , its perfect isnt it" she asked
"No , no its not " he said in a hard voice
Bella pulled back and looked at his hard expression and without saying a word he walked over to thw white bed pulled off a pillow and with inhuman speed he ripped it to shreds the whole cottage was a blur of white and through the falling feathers she could see her perfect husbands face glowing.
"Now it is" and they just made it to the bed.............
Things over the next few days improved , the preperations for Renesmees party were well underway,
Edward was no the one thinking random things around Alice so she would know nothing of the naming ceremony, bella contacted Angelas father who had performed their wedding he was pleasde to be asked to perform thr naming ceremony where Carliale , Esme, Rosalie , Emmett, Alice and Jasper would be named honourary guardians of Renesmee.
Bella was in Forks arranging gifts when she heard a farmiliar voice behind her,
"Ok, mr newton I'll tell my dad" said the voice
She turned to see her ex best friend leaving Mikes familys' store. Jake stopped and stared at her , she couldnt move part of her wanted to run the other to hug him, suddenly her phone vibrated.
"Hello"
"Bella are you alright" the voice said on the other end of the phone
"I'm fine , why"
"You , you disapeared , Alice couldnt see you" he was worried that much she could tell by the tone of his voice.
She turned her back on Jacob,
"Edward I'm fine I just...." she broke off feeliing a hand on her shoulder , she tunred Jacob was stood infront of her grinning.
"Bella , what is it" Edward demanded
"I'm fine its ..." she stuttered she couldnt lie to him.
"He's there isnt he , Jake I mean" he sounded tense and she could hear the revving of the volvos engine in the background.
"Yes I'm fine honestly" she tried to sound asual , but the panic in her voice gave her away , the phone clicked off , she knew she only had a matter of minutes before he arrived.
"Hey Bells" smiled Jake
"Hey jake , not seen you in a while Renesmee misses you" she tried to sound casual but he was no fool either
"and what about you" he smiled moving closer
"What about me"
"Do you miss me , or is that not allowed anymore" he snapped
"Not again jake , get over it already" she sighed breathing deeply to keep control
"When can I see her" he changed the subject
"Er I dont know"
"I have a right to see her Bells" he hissed
"Right!? , what right do you hold over my daughter" she tried to supress the growl building in her chest,
"You know what right" he snapped
She began to shake , her throat burned , she knew she was about to lose control , why was he doing this to her.
She balled her fists up and he laughed "Dont be like that Bells" he smiled
then a curtain of calm fell over her and she knew Jasper and Edward had arrived she turned and threw her arms around both of them.
"Oh look the cavalries here" he laughed
Jasper growled and his lip curled over his milky teeth,
Edward placed his hand in Bellas and pulled her behind him,
"Jake leave MY wife and MY daughter alone" he growled
"Sorry cant do that" he said with a smug look on his face
"You wouldnt" spat Edward, Bella looked at each of their faces.
"What , what wouldnt he do" she asked trying to move forward , Edward sighed and held her face.
"He's going to tell Charlie our little secret" he whispered"Unles we allow him to see nes....renesmee"
Jasper hissed , she turned to face Jacob with fear in her eyes
"You wouldnt , would you really make Renesmee an outcast"
" then let me see her"he faltered slightly
"Her birthday is next weekend you can see her after that"she said with finality
"Ok" he shrugged
"Now leave us alone" hissed Edward
"No worries leech , wont be hunting down that stench for a while"
bella grabbed Edwards hand and tugged him away ack up the high street , Jasper followed turning occasionally to watch Jacob...............
