His Golden Haze Part II

Just Us

A/N: Just letting you all know that story progression will speed up and slow down with Part II, I plan for Part II to be longer than Part I and I also want to make a Part III down the line so I have a lot of setting up to do for this story. I'm open to listen to ideas you all want in the story and I can't wait for you all to see what I have in store.

Chapter 29: Just Us

Renesmee POV:

I was a little worried about leaving the kids with Aunt Alice and Uncle Jasper while Jake and I went out for a date. The kids adore them though and Dad told me that he and Mom will pop in to hang out. Alice helped me get ready for my date tonight and I reminisced about the plenty of times she would doll me up for fun.

“Esme is really excited to have you all up in Canada for an entire month.” Alice said while lacing up the ribbons on my one inch heels.

That's right, we planned on being with the rest of my family for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. It was a little tradition we made last year to do that. This time we’ll have three babies with us. My mouth was watering at the thought of Grandma Esme’s Christmas roast. And don't get me started on Mom’s famous turkey. My kids will be in absolute heaven.

“I am too. I miss being around everyone.” I adjusted the straps to my burgundy dress, “Mom wants to do a road trip. The kids never had one before so that should be fun for them.”

“Make sure you pack a lot, it'll be a long drive.”

I'd have to pack enough for a trip to the hottest place in Africa. Snacks, blankets, toys, electronics. My head started to whirl at how many suitcases I would have to bring. And that's not including all the stuff I would have to pack for a newborn baby.

“Relax, you look like your mother when you furrow your brow like that.” Alice stood up and went behind me to play in my hair, “You both worry so much. It’s in your genes, your dad is the biggest worrywart I know.”

“Don't have to tell me twice.” I muttered as she twisted a few locks of my hair and pinned it to the back of my head.  

I heard little footsteps come into the room and I knew it was none other than my sweet Chloë. I turned towards my staggering toddler and held my arms out for her. She showed me her pearly whites and scrambled onto what was left of my lap.

“Doesn't Mommy look pretty?” Alice dug into a drawer.

“Mmhmm.” Chloë nodded, she was in awe.

“Why thank you, little lady.” Her tinkling voice giggled at her favorite term of endearment.

“This will look nice on you, Chanel.” Alice said while placing a sparkling pink headband on my little girl’s head.

I turned Chloë around so she can see herself. She looked at herself in awe and petted her soft waves that kissed her collarbones. She was growing up faster than I liked but she looked just darling in the headband and I could tell she thought so too.

“Mine?”

That was one of her favorite words.

“Yes, and I'll have to buy you some more. Maybe some with little bows.” I ran my fingers through her waves.

“I like dis (this).” she whispered.

“C’mon, little love.” Alice picked her up from my lap, “We can't let your mommy be late for her date.”

Oh, that's right.

I stood up and puckered my lips for Chloë and she kissed them.

“I won't be gone for long, sweetie. Be a good girl for me.”
