Song Heavy In Your Arms
After saying goodbye to Emmett and Edward me and Bella walk into the house
"Bryn charlie calls.''
"Yea dad.''
"Some boy dropped this off for you.''he hold out a package to me
"Don't worry didn't open it he says.''
"Wasn't worried I said.'' shooting him a smile
I run up the stairs and close my door and open the package. It's a box I opened it sitting inside is a gold ring with a red stone on it and a sketch of a paw print. I smile and sit on my bed to read the note.
"Saw the ring and thought of you the stone is a moon stone because well your an Amaris a child of the moon and the paw print as you requested, whenever you're ready I'm here Love, Paul.'' I smile, slipping the sketch into my dresser drawer and putting on the ring it fits perfectly.
*********************************
Water sprays from a hose as Emmett and I wash my bike he perches on top of the roof
"Come to my house tomorrow Emmett says.''
I look up, aiming the hose badly - water ricochets off the cab and sprays in my face. He jumps down from the roof. Chuckling at me and helping get water out of my eyes
"Your house? With your family?''
"Umm yea he says.''
"But... what if they don't like me?'' he burst out laughing
"You're worried, not because you'll be in a houseful of vampires, but because you think they won't
approve of you Emmett says?'
"Glad you think that's funny I say.'' shoving him his laughter stops he looks down the road
"What is it?''
"A complication he says.'' climbing into his jeep
"I'll pick you up tomorrow.'' i hear a bike and see jakes truck pulling up
Paul barely gets off his bike before I jump into his arms
"Hello to you to he says.''
'Hi I say.'' he smiles at me again
"I wanna see he says.'' i smile pulling him into the house we get halfway up the stairs before I hear throat clear
"Yes dad I say.'' looking at him
"Going somewhere he asks?''
"My room i say questionaly.''
"Alone he says.'' the aura off him is awkward I put two and two together
"Omg dad we aren't......"
He raises his hand in the air
'' Okay... Okay just leave the door open he says.'' we go into my room and I take my shirt off
"That was quick he says.''
"Shut up I say.'' moving my hair to one shoulder
"That's cool he says.'' staring at the tattoo on my shoulder
****************************
The Jeep pulls up and I climb out, surprised.
"It's... wonderful I say.''
"You expected turrets, dungeons and moats?
"No i say.'' he chuckles taking my hand and guiding me inside
The house is bright. Walls of glass look out on the river. Everything's open and white. Historical
objects are tastefully placed throughout.
"It's so light and open I say.''
"Thanks to tinted windows... It's the one place we never have to hide Emmett says.''
CLANGING comes from the kitchen. Emmett shakes his head.
"I told them not to do this Emmett says.''
"Do what I ask?'' dragging him to the kitchen
Verdi's opera BLASTS Emmett and Iwho enter to find the kitchen in full swing. Carlise, Lucas, Rosalie, and Esme prepare elaborate platters of Italian pastas and antipasti.Esme rolls out a pizza dough and fans tomatoes around it in an instant. Rosalie stirs a pot, disinterested.Esme sees me and stops, emanating maternal warmth. Her heart-shaped face and billows of hair are reminiscent of the silent-movie era.
"Bryn. We're making Italiano for you and Bella Esme says.'' happiness radiates off of her
" This is Esme, my mother for all intents and purposes.''
"Hi I say.''
"You've given us an excuse to use the kitchen for the first time Carlise says.''
"I hope you're hungry Esme says.''
"I love italiano I say.'' jumping onto the counter and dipping my finger into a sauce
"Mmm i say.''
"No rose says.'' taking the bowl from me
"Ignore her. I do Emmett says.''
"Yes, let's keep pretending this isn't dangerous for all of us Rosalie says.''
"I would never, ever tell anyone I say.'' jumping off the counter
"She knows that Carlise says.'' trying to reassure me
"The problem is, you two have gone public now, so.. Lucas says''
"Lucas esme says.'' in a serious tone
"No, she should know, The entire family will be implicated if this ends badly.''
"It won't i say.''
Lucas chokes back laughter. Emmett grins. Wraps his arm around me. Even Esme has to chuckle.
Rosalie scoffs at me and takes what was supposed to be a threatening step towards me. Lucas grabs her shoulder pulling her into his chest and kissing her forehead. I turn my head confused at him.
"I don't like the way she's looking at me. Emmett fix it, Lucas says."
" Leave her alone, she is trying to read your aura, Jasper says." Alice leaps over the rail, holding a bouquet
of wildflowers. Jasper followed her. She bounces forward to kiss my cheek and hands me the wildflowers. As Jasper gets closer to us Emmett flashes towards me pulling me backwards into him
"Relax Jasper says, she's shielding I can't even smell her.'' Everyone looks curiously at me
" Shielding it's a defensive talent the one who see's has.''
"The what Emmett asks?''
"It's a tribe ledged one girl will be born the one who see's I say.''
"I'm the one who see's I ask.'' emmett looks down at me curiously
"You didn't know jasper asks?'' he suddenly tenses my head snaps towards the door aura reaching towards me
"Let's take this conversation elsewhere Emmett says.'' Alice guides jasper behind us "Bella and Edward are here I say.''
