Chapter 6
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,
"Where’s 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, "let’s 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 you’re okay" Edward whispered in her ear. “Sure let’s 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 definitely 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, she’s going to give me a mancure" she giggled, Bella laughed
"That’s a man-I-cure honey and yes if you want to, don’t you want to come home with me and daddy" she asked
"Not tonight, please" she begged
Edwards eyes narrowed, "what" Bella whispered
"I don’t know Alice and Jasper are blocking me too" he sighed
"I'm sure it’s 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,
"Remember what exactly" said Bella and then the answer was revealed in front of them was an exact copy of the inside of the house on Isle Esme, the colors, 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, that why they were blocking you" she laughed, Edward didn’t say anything he just looked around the room,
"What? its perfect isn’t 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 the 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 preparations for Renesmee's party were well underway,
Edward was not the one thinking random things around Alice so she would know nothing of the naming ceremony, Bella contacted Angela’s father who had performed their wedding he was pleased to be asked to perform the naming ceremony where Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, Alice and Jasper would be named honorary guardians of Renesmee.
Bella was in Forks arranging gifts when she heard a familiar voice behind her,
"Ok, Mr. Newton I'll tell my dad" said the voice
She turned to see her ex best friend leaving Mikes family’s' store. Jake stopped and stared at her, she couldn’t 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 disappeared, Alice couldn’t 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 feeling a hand on her shoulder, she turned Jacob was stood in front of her grinning.
"Bella, what is it" Edward demanded
"I'm fine it’s ..." she stuttered she couldn’t lie to him.
"He's there isn’t 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 casual, 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
"Err I don’t know"
"I have a right to see her Bells" he hissed
"Right!? What right do you hold over my daughter" she tried to suppress 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 "Don’t 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 Bella’s and pulled her behind him,
"Jake, leave MY wife and MY daughter alone" he growled
"Sorry can’t do that" he said with a smug look on his face
"You wouldn’t" spat Edward, Bella looked at each of their faces.
"What, what wouldn’t 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 wouldn’t, 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, won’t be hunting down that stench for a while"
Bella grabbed Edwards hand and tugged him away back up the high street, Jasper followed turning occasionally to watch Jacob.
Emmett and rose were sat showing henry books, Carlisle and esme were playing backgammon neither couple looked up,
"Where’s Nessie" asked Edward,
"With jasper and Alice at the cottage" smiled Carlisle, Edward frowned,
