LA LUNA

CHAPTER: forty-one

"How are you, Marg?" asked Bella. Margaux turn to look at her, "Hm? I'm good" she answered "Why?"

Bella sighed, "I haven't thanked you yet for all the things that you've done for me. For my daughter, my family. I know you have curiousities, questions about yourself too, but you chose, not that you had a choice, to look out for me and my daughter. I owe you a lot"

Margaux nodded, giving her a genuine smile. "Don't think about it too much or ever. I'm glad that I could be of service. We're friends, that's what friends do" she said "Look at her, I'm sure Renesmee's lighten up everyone's world. She's a joy"

Bella smiled at what she said, nodding. "You're so lucky to have her, Bella. We are too. So, don't think about it. What we've done is all worth it" Margaux added, reassuring the newborn.

Bella nodded with a smile on her face, before turning to watch Renesmee and Jacob's wolf form enjoying the snow. Margaux sat down, making a small snowman of her own. She was busy doing her own thing while also sneaking glances at Renesmee and Jacob's wolf form when she felt something odd. She looked up, looking for it when her sight caught a figure.

Irina.

Before Margaux could call her out or even say something, Bella beat her to it. The women look at the Denali, waiting for her response, but they received none.

Irina turn around and ran away. The Newborn ran after her while Margaux walked towards Renesmee, pulling her closer by her shoulder as they both wait for Bella to come back, hopefully with Irina.

Margaux thought that Jake's presence must have ruined her mood. Well, Irina's not friendly, but she is always been civil whenever the two, Margaux and Irina, would see or bumped into each other somewhere, it happened thrice, but now, Margaux couldn't shake the disturbing feeling on her stomach with how Irina reacted.

"Carlisle mentioned that Irina's coming here to settle "things" with us. Tanya convinced her to do so" said Radleigh.

He's trying to reassure his girlfriend that what happened earlier was nothing and that maybe she's right. Maybe, Jacob's presence changed her mood that she decided to just do it another time.

"Yes, Love, but I don't know. The way she reacted just doesn't feel right to me. It...."

"..Scaring you"

Margaux nodded. She sat down, playing with her fingers. Radleigh sighed, putting his laptop away before pulling her in his arms.

"Stop worrying about it. Stop thinking about it. I can feel you and it's scaring me too, my love. There's no need for you to feel that way. I'm here" he said, rubbing her shoulder, comfortingly.

Margaux leaned closer in his arms, closing her eyes. "I'm sorry for making you feel that way, Rad"

Radleigh hummed, pressing a long kiss on her temple, "No, It's fine"

Margaux woke up feeling a little unsual. The conversation she had with Radleigh definitely helped setting her mood bright that she, surprisingly, looked like she wasn't worrying too much last night.

She looked good and....happy for someone who didn't get to sleep that much. Radleigh watched her with furrowed brows, he's leaning against the doorframe with arms crossed, as Margaux happily sways her hips while holding a spatula.

She looks amusing for him that he could spend forever just watching her act, be like that and he would be content with it. He couldn't remember when was the last time he saw her this carefree and stressfree.

She's....glowing.

Radleigh cleared his throat to get her attention and he did. Margaux turn around, a bright smile on her face. "Good Morning, my love" she greeted, putting her spatula down. She then, took her apron off, wiping her hands with it.

"....is something wrong?"

"What?"

"Umm...this"

"...What is "this"?" Margaux asked as she slowly walked towards Radleigh.

"You look different. There's something different about you today, I can't point it out"

Margaux chuckled, "Nothing changed, my love or maybe there is. In fact, me too, is feeling kinda weird today. I woke up feeling all sunshine and rainbows and you know how much I began to hate morning the pass few days. I don't know what's gotten into me, but one thing is for sure, I like me this way" Margaux said before standing on her tiptoes to leave a peck on Radleigh's forehead.

Radleigh smiled, "Me too, but you must be really in a good mood right now to set this whole breakfast. You do remember that is just gonna be you that will be eating these,
right?" He asked. "Can you finish it all?" Radleigh added.

Margaux just nodded, "Yep"

And she did. No crumbs left.
