Chapter 3

Chapter 3

A week later Carlisle and the others returned, Edward was now like a three year old, walking and talking but not remembering. We had agreed with the others over the phone that we would go with our school story- Carlisle and Esme as parents, Edward, Alice and Renesmee their biological children and the rest of us adopted, apart from Jake who would pretend to be a cousin of Renesmee’s. 

“They’re back!” Renesmee shouted as she stopped in the new nursery room where I was playing with Edward.

“Finally.” I smiled and picked Edward up, “Shall we go and see Daddy?” I smiled, it was something I would have to get used to calling Carlisle Dad and Esme Mom.

“Yeah!” Edward squealed. I ran downstairs with him behind Ness and Jake. Esme was already hugging Carlisle and Rose was with Emmet.

“Edward!” Alice exclaimed taking him from me.

“Ello Awice.” Edward reached out for her from my arms.

“Oh this is gonna be good.” I heard Emmet chuckle.

“What do you mean?” I asked turning to him.

“Let’s just say, I’m taking plenty of pictures!” Emmet laughed, “I can’t wait until he changes back!”

“What?” I smiled, changed back? That had to be good right? 

“Let’s all sit down.” Carlisle smiled to me, “It’s good news.”

“Any news will be good news.” Renesmee smiled as we all went to take a seat around the ‘dining table’ which we only ever used for meetings.

“So what did you find out?” Esme asked as Edward fell asleep in my arms.

“The girl who attacked you had done this before. Never for the Volturi though.” Carlisle started thinking about how to explain what they had found.

“All I want to know is what will happen to him?” I asked looking down to Edward.

“He will grow and mature somewhat like Renesmee did for the first six months, until he appears to be around fourteen years old. After that he will age as a normal human until he reaches the age at which he was turned.” Carlisle told us.

“What, so we have to wait a two and a half years? Then what?” Ness asked.

“He doesn’t remember anything from the past, but exactly nine hundred and thirteen days after he became a child he’ll change back and remember everything.” Carlisle smiled.

“What if he’s bitten between now and then?” Esme asked.

“He’ll be turned.” Alice said reluctantly, “So we just have to make sure fro the next two years that he doesn’t need biting.”

“And in the mean time we can dress him up and take pictures to use when he turns back.” Emmet smiled cheekily.

“I’m not going to be the one to stop you.” Jake laughed.

“It will seem like a long time Bella.” Jasper looked to me, probably sensing my sudden twinge of tension, “Can you cope with that?”

“He waited a hundred years without even knowing I was about to come along.” I looked up to them and smiled, “I think I’ve got it pretty easy compared.”

“Can we still dress him up?” Emmet smiled pleadingly.

“On one condition.” I smiled back, getting up with Edward.

“Go on.” Emmets eyes turned daring.

“No innuendo thoughts or comments when he turns back. You shouldn’t be making comments anyway seeing as I won the arm wrestle.” I smiled as the others laughed.
