Chapter 34: Gobble Gobble

Renesmee POV:

There is nothing better to wake up to than the smell of Grandma Esme making Thanksgiving dinner. The kids were downstairs with my parents and Aria was still sleeping in her little bassinet. Sleep training her has been quite easy compared to my older too. I think she's a little more independent.

As tradition, the entire family goes hunting together. When I was younger living in Alaska, we would go farther than usual to get grizzlies. Uncle Emmett’s favorite. Dad would usually take them down for me since I was a little scared to but now that I'm older I think I'm ready to take them on all by myself. This year is a little different though. Grandma Esme and Grandpa Carlisle won't join us because they wanted to watch on the kids and teach them about the meaning behind Thanksgiving. Jay and Chloë didn't mind spending some extra time with them though and I wasn't too worried about leaving Aria either.

I could hear my aunts and uncles getting ready but I was all too happy being in Jake’s warm arms. I just wanted to stay in them just a little longer. I buried my face into the crook of neck and held him tighter against me as he started to stir. Heaven couldn't leave me so soon.

“Morning, Ness.” he mumbled, kissing my temple.

“Morning, Jake.”

“Out of bed you two! We have to make it back in time for pictures.” Aunt Alice said from somewhere downstairs.

“Is she always this annoying?” Jake glared at the door.

“Hey! I heard that, dog!”

I giggled a little bit and tried to sit up but Jake’s arms wouldn't let me go so easily.

“We don't want her coming up here!” I tried pushing his arms off.

He smiled and gave me a kiss on my lips, then my cheeks, then my eyes, then my jaw.

“Jake, stop!” I laughed uncontrollably and swatted his hands.

“Happy Thanksgiving, baby.”

“Happy Thanksgiving.”

With that, we carefully got out of bed to not wake up our sleeping daughter and got ready. It didn't take much. I just wore a zip up sweater and a pair of  warm jeggings and Jake wore his cut off shorts since he was going to phase anyways. We just brushed our teeth and we were ready to go with the rest of the family. Little Aurora seemed quite excited to go hunting with everybody and climbed up on Emmett’s back, telling him all the animals she wanted him to catch.

“And Daddy, can you get a grizzly big enough for me, you, and Mommy?” she patted his back excitedly.

“Anything for my princess.” Uncle Emmett promised.

I bent down to kiss my oldest two while Jake went outside to go phase. With Aria sleeping upstairs, I doubt I'll get emotional like I always seem to do.

“Make sure to be good listeners for Nana and Papa okay?” I looked at the both of them.

“Okay.” they said in unison.

“They'll be fine, darling.” Grandma Esme kissed my cheek, “Grandpa is in charge on arts and crafts and I'm going to show them how to make sweet potato pie.”

“Thanks again.” I sighed and gave her a hug.

Jacob was already ready for me by the time I got out there so I just climbed onto his back and ran my hands through his fur. I was already getting excited about this hunt and I couldn't wait for the kids to be older so I could teach them.
