Wild Souls || Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn [2]

"I've got sunshine... on a cloudy day."

Alessia sang the old song to her niece as the baby gurgled with her bright brown eyes. It was the following day after Bella's awakening and while the parents had gone off to enjoy her first day immortality as well as her last human birthday the child had stayed with her aunt. Bella had been slightly reluctant to let her daughter go but it hadn't taken much to convincing.

The newborn had handed her daughter off to Alessia who had promised to make sure the child was not set down all night. The redhead felt guilty for hogging the child from Rosalie and therefore agreed to grant the blonde the night shift so long as she got her back by sunrise. True to her word, her adoptive sister had handed back the child as the sun began to paint the sky in light.

Renessme had now grown considerably, her hair was an even richer shade of red and her eyes were rounding out like her mothers. The changes were becoming abundantly clear the more Alessia stared at her nieces face and although it was slightly concerning, for the most part she was just joyful.

"When it's cold out... I've got the month of May..." Alessia continued to hum to the button nose child. Her feet had carried her outside, sitting against one of the tall oaks while she bounced the baby on her knee. Renessme was wide awake as her aunt continued to hum in perfect harmony. Her chubby fingers pushed her aunts cheeks and moved through the copper streaks of hair. Nessie giggled in happiness the longer Alessia sang.

"I guess you'll say, what can make me feel this way my girl," Alessia continued to softly sing the lyrics, enjoying her niece's giggles.

At some point during her solo Jacob had walked outside, he was standing on the wooden porch, watching as his imprint continued on and enjoying her voice. His heart slightly melted imagining children of their own, the love in her eyes mirrored for their own bundle. It just a dream however, but if she wanted it he'd make it his mission to give it to her.

"You gonna stand there all day?" Her voice rang a little louder as she settled Nessie back down into her arms, securing the newborn as her golden eyes fell upon him. Her expression was content, something he'd only dreamed of seeing upon her face.

His footsteps practically bounded her way, hurrying as to be near her. He craved her all the time, from the lilac hint to her smell, to the perfect rose tint to her lips. It was all he ever craved, and even being as near as she would allow supplied his fill.

"How is she?" He timidly asked, taking a spot a foot away from where she sat. Alessia's dress pooled around her, creamy thighs barely covered by the light pink flowers covering the clothes. Her skin was so flawless, his fingers itched to run his hands over it but he kept still. They weren't ready for that.

Alessia smiled, noticing how the color of his shirt underneath his khaki jacket matched her dress to perfection. Even the color of her heels was identical to his jacket, she suspected Alice at play.

"Perfect, she woke up happy." Alessia answered, watching as the young child pushed her chunky hand towards Jacob.

The wolf responded instantly, giving into her grunt and holding out his hand for her to press into his lap. Jacob subconsciously moved closer, using the excuse of his arm being yanked.

Alessia didn't seem to notice, relishing in the deep rumble of his laughter as the child used his hand to smack her own tiny palms against. The strawberry blonde found herself giggling, bumping shoulders with the wolf.

"Bella and Edward are coming." She motioned towards the house where the faintest sound of the front door and footsteps entering were heard.

"I take it they liked their new home?" Jacob questioned with a raised brow. It was early on in the morning but vampires didn't need to sleep which meant that the newlyweds had been up too something entirely else.
