Alice, can I talk to you?

11

Telling Ness about Edward was ........... Well, she said something about him and wrapped her arms around Alice. She was on her lap, and said that she wanted to stay with momma and mommy.

"No one is saying that's going to change. No one is going to take you away from momma and I."

Alice looked at me over Ness' shoulder, and smiled.

"That's right, Ness. Nothing bad is gonna happen to you."

She let go of Alice and gave me a hug. I picked her up, and sat her on my lap. We went downstairs and Ness asked where Seth was. Rosalie laughed, and looked at Ness.

"He's outside, he was saying something about a snowball fight."

Alice glared at me, and told Rosalie about what had happened. Well, she already knew, but Alice decided to tell her a bit more and ......... Well, Rosalie thought it was funny and I glared at her. Ness ran out to find Seth, and I sat down, with Alice on my lap.

"It was one snowball! You probably seen it coming."

"That's not the point, you used Ness to distract me!"

Rosalie shook her head, and Ness ran in with Seth following her. Sat sat on Rosalie's lap, and lay her head on her shoulder. Seth sat next to me, and looked at us.

"Ness wanted to see Auntie Rose."

Ness cuddled in Rosalie, who wrapped her arms around her. We left her with Rosalie, and we went to our cottage. She was so cute! She loved cuddling with Auntie Rosie. The R came out as a W, and it was adorable.

I walked into the bedroom, following Alice. She stopped by the bed, and I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist. She leaned back against me. I kissed her cheek, and she turned around, kissing me.

She froze and I could see that she was having a vision. I waited, and she looked worried.

"What is it, pixie?"

She walked away, running her hand through her hair. I sat on the bed, and caught her hand. I looked at her, wanting for her to tell me.

"It's Edward. I saw him planning something with ......... Jasper. They're planning something about coming back. Edward doesn't want Ness raised by us. Something about our relationship and her growing up confused."

I got really annoyed and Alice had to tell me to calm down. I looked around and I noticed a few things were floating. I relaxed and they dropped back down. Alice watched me, sitting on my lap.

"Sorry, I just-"

"Ssh, baby. I know. They'll be here in a week. Everything will be fine. Why do I get the feeling you want Edward to yourself?"

I shook my head, leaning my forehead against her shoulder.

"Lets just say, I haven't forgotten what he did to you."

Alice tilted my head up to look at her, and leaned her forehead against mine.

"Neither have I, but it's Jasper that I want to ......... Well, he won't try and tell me I'm confused again."

She was annoyed, and I couldn't help it, I kissed her. I hate seeing her so upset.

"You say anything about me being cute and I swear......."

She trailed off and looked at me.

"What're you gonna do? Cuddle me to death?"

What does she do?

"Aliiiiiiiice!"

That damn pout gets me every time! I swear, she can get you to do whatever she wants when she does that. And she knew it to.

She laughed, and stood up.

"Well, you know what happens when you say stuff like that, baby."

A few hours later, we went back to the house. Ness ran up to us, when we walked in. I picked her up, and she showed me Seth and Emmett arguing over some game. I laughed, and looked Emmett.

"Was Uncle Emmett being mean to Seth, Ness?"

Emmett knew I was kidding, but Ness thought it was funny, so he went with it.

"Hey! What did I do? Ness, tell her I was being nice to him."

Ness laughed, and Alice watched us, trying not to laugh. Ness told me something about them fighting and Emmett sulked when she didn't agree with him. I shook my head, and Rosalie walked in. Emmett left, and told us he'd be back soon.

"Carlisle wants to speak to you. Ness, come here."

They started plotting against Emmett for being mean to Seth, and we went up to Carlisle's study.

"Rose said you want to speak to us."

He looked at Alice, and we sat down in front of his desk.

"I found something about Ness. I know you're worried about how quick she's growing."

I felt Alice take my hand, and I squeezed her hand.

"You have nothing to worry about. She's going to be fine. She will be fully mature in about 7 years. But, she won't age. I found a few things about someone like her, and he was 150."

That was a relief. I'd been so worried about her, but now we had nothing to worry about. We thanked him, and talked about a few more things before going back downstairs. He followed us, and we found Ness with Rosalie. She saw us, and ran past us to Carlisle. She hugged him, and I turned to Rosalie.

"Why do I get the feeling Emmett should be frightened?"

Rosalie stood up and walked over to us. I could see that she already knew. Everyone was worried about her.

"Well, she suggested you do what you did to his Xbox again. She thought it was funny when he tried to grab it."

"Yeah, but we have a bigger problem."

Ness ran off, and we told everyone about what Alice had seen. They knew Ness needed to be kept away from it, and Seth, who had walked in a few minutes after we'd started explaining, suggested that his mom could watch her.

"That won't work, Seth. What about my dad?"

"We could tell him you didn't make it, and say we're moving?"

The suggestion came from Rosalie, and no one could really argue with it. Something was going to have to be done about that, and I wouldn't be able to be around him. But, who would do it?

"I'll do it. You've let me stay here, I know it's not easy for you."

No one expected Seth to volunteer. But, he wouldn't listen to us and left.

Ness went to bed a little while later, and I went up to our room. Alice turned around when I walked in.

"She's asleep."

I sat on the bed, and lay back. Alice lay next to me, and kissed me.

"I know you're worried, but it's the only way."

I knew she was right, but it didn't make it any easier.

"I know, it's hard. I knew I wouldn't be around him. But, with everything that's happened-"

Alice raised an eyebrow and I knew I needed to talk my way out of this.

"I didn't mean us, I'm happy I'm with you. I mean the fight with Edward, and your argument with Jasper. You know I love you, pixie."

Alice shook her head, and sat up.

"I know you do, and don't worry about Jasper. I know exactly what I'm gonna do to him........"

"Why does that scare me?"

I had no reason to be scared of her, but it was fun to tease her.

"Just you wait, you'll see what I mean next week."

I laughed and we spent the evening talking about what was going to happen.
