“Alice, how long until Aro gets here?” I thought about what I just said Of course he’d be coming at night, duh. Alice didn’t answer, she knew I wasn’t thinking. “But around what time of night?..” Edward said, backing me up, “Um around midnight, he wanted to make sure no humans where around at all” “That makes since.. I guess.” I mumbled, then I looked up at the clock it was exactly 7pm “But what if Jane decides to come along?” I asked, not thinking again.. I knew Jane didn’t like coming here, but I did know she liked torturing Edward. “Never mind...” Alice came in and sat down, I sat next to her wile Edward went and sat on the big couch since we took the little one, we all sat there in silence at first, then I broke the silence “So... he’s only a couple of hours from being here?” I asked, “Yes, I assume so... as I said before he means no harm, he just wants to see Nessie, the last time he saw her was when we where about to fight last winter..I guess he just wants to see how she’s grown..and such, you know?... And it’s almost her Birthday! So I’m guessing that’s what the present’s for...” I wondered to my self, Nessie would only be 1 or 2, in human years, but she seemed like she was 6 or 7, I guess years didn’t really matter, Alice loved throwing party’s, especially Birthdays. I laughed quietly, we had nothing to do besides wait, so Alice turned on the Tv and flipped threw the channels for about a minuet, “Nothing good is on, Bella you go pick out a movie..” I got up and went to the Tv, and picked out one of my favorite movies, “William Shakespear’s Romeo and Juliet” with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes, I stuck the movie in and went back to sit with Alice, but Edward grabbed me by the waist and pulled me into his lap, I put my arm around his neck and he kissed my forehead, I didn’t get up, I really didn’t mind sitting this way, Alice laughed “Really Bella? Romeo and Juliet? Again.. How many times have you seen this?” I laughed also, enough times to where I can recite the whole movie, that time Edward laughed, We’d watched it twice on Isle Esme, And I’d probably watched it 5 to 9 times a month. We where half way threw the movie, when Nessie came out of her room, to investigate what was happening, “Mommy... I’m hungry, could you get me something to eat?...” “Sure Nessie, I hopped out of Edward’s arms and walked into the Kitchen, Nessie followed me, I leaned down to get on her level to talk to her, “What would you like to eat honey?”... “Macaroni and Cheese, please?” “Okay,” I got the noodles out of the cabinet and the cheese out of the fridge and heated up the noodles and melted the cheese with them, the I put them in a little bowl and gave it to Nessie “There you are Hun” “Thank you mommy!..Um, I have a question..” “Okay, what is it Sweetie?... Why is Aro coming?, I herd Alice talking about him,...He’s the bad guy right?” “Well, he’s carious, about you.. He wonders how big you’ve gotten, He also remembered it was gonna be your Birthday soon, so he’s bringing you a gift.”
“Oh....Okay!,...” she said as she trotted off, I went back to where I was, sitting on Edward’s lap,
Alice was deep into the movie, she didn’t eve notice that I was back in the room, “It’s almost time, Love..” Edward whispered into my ear,”Yes, I know..” I didn’t really, I looked up at the clock, it was 11:45pm that meant there was only about 13 or 14 minuets till midnight. The movie ended 5 minuets before 12am, Edward was looking at Alice, then he lifted his stare at Alice and looked out the window, “D-did you hear something Edward?” “Yes, it sounds like he’s here...” Edward and I got up I went and got Nessie from her room and carried her back to Edward.
The second I got into the living room there was a knock at the door, I took a deep breath and went and stood next to Edward, holding onto Nessie tightly, Edward opened the door, There was Aro, tall and young, he must of been turned when he was 16 or 17 I guessed, “Hello, Edward, Bella....” “You forgot me,” Alice said as she got up and danced to stand next to me,
“Well, Hello.. Alice.” “Aro, I knew you where coming” she smirked, “Yes, I thought you’d see me, I tried not to make up my mind, but you saw me anyways, so this isn’t much of a surprise”
I was still holding tightly onto Nessie, “Ah...This must be Renesmee or may I call her Nessie...”
“Nessie will do,”Edward said trying not to growl, or hiss.. Nessie leaned over to touch Aro’s face, that meant she was showing him something, “My Nessie, you’ve grown.. Since I last saw you..” Then suddenly Alice and Edward both started hissing, I wondered why for a second, Then Jane popped out from behind Aro, Edward hissed even louder “Peace Edward, Peace Alice, she will do no harm, she just wondered about Nessie her self,” Edward laughed quietly Alice was standing in front of me and Nessie, “Jane, dear go back to the forest, they do not like you here”
Jane growled, then turned away and walked out into the forest, “Well, Nessie.. I’ve got a gift for you, I picked it up in China a wile ago,” Nessie didn’t talk, she looked at Edward then at me, I sat her down after she whispered in my ear to let her, Alice looked at me I shot her a “its okay” glance, then she calmed down, Edward was still tense beside me I grabbed his hand and squeezed it gently, then I lent over and whispered into his ear “Edward don’t worry, if he dose something I don’t like or you don’t like, I can just use my shield so he can’t touch her, Chill out..Calm down, It’s okay.” he nodded back, and squeezed my hand gently back and didn’t let go. Nessie carefully walked up to Aro and looked up at him, he got on his knees to be on her level and gave her the little golden box, she turned her head to look at me and Edward, we nodded, to let her know it was okay. She sat on the floor in front of Aro and opened the box, there was another little box inside she opened it also, and took out a little Music box that played some Chinese music, it was very pretty, it must of been expansive she got up carefully and handed it to Alice to hold for her, then she went up slowly and hugged Aro’s leg, “Thank you!!, I love it... Aro” she said still hugging his leg, he patted her back with his hand, “Your welcome my dear, I’m happy you like it. I had hoped you would” she let go of his leg and came and stood in front of me, I put my arms around her, and Edward put his hand on her shoulder, I smiled faintly at Aro, “Thank you Aro,....” “Yes...Thank you.”Edward said threw his teeth, “Thank you for coming...” I said slowly,
“It was... uh Nice to see you Again.” “Yes, well I’d better get going, Goodbye, Edward, Bella, Nessie.. And Alice. Oh Edward, give Carlisle my regards” “Will do.” Edward said more nicely,
“Goodbye Aro” I repeated, He closed the door and was gone, I sighed with relief as did Edward and Alice. I laughed, they both looked at me like I was an alien “What?, I thought that went well..., you two barely talked, I guess I just don’t know Aro as good as you two do, I mean I know he’s not all that great, but he was trying to be nice...” Alice handed Nessie the music box Aro had gotten her, and she went back to her room, “Yes, it went better then I expected...” Edward said kindly, Then we all went back and sat down. We sat there for a wile watching Tv, then Alice got up, and headed to the door ” Bella, I have plans for us tomorrow, so be ready,.. It includes Nessie too,” she smirked as she got up from the couch “What kind of plans Alice?” I asked looking at her “You’ll see,” she laughed as she walked out the door, “See you Tomorrow!”
I got up and went and put Nessie to bed, then came back out to Edward, I sat next to him and laid my head on his shoulder, he put his arm around me and kissed my forehead, I leaned my head up and looked at him and smiled as he kissed me. “I love you, my Love.” ...”I love you too Edward.”
