━━━━━ THE NEXT DAY had come, Ellie was sitting next to Carlisle holding on to her daughter while Carlisle typed away at the laptop and Emmett read a newspaper. Jacob was standing by the window eating a sandwich and watching Rosalie and Renesmee.
Footsteps could be heard indicating that Bella and Edward had made it back to the house. Ellie looked up from Gwendolyn turning to see Edward and Bella, smiles clear on their faces.
"Wow. Done already?" Emmett questioned them, earning a serious look from Ellie. Carlisle stopped what he was doing to look at them.
Ellie smiled looking back down at Gwendolyn, she had her eyes open now and was staring up at Ellie. Seconds later the laughter stopped when the phone started ringing. Ellie looked at the phone knowing very well who was calling. Bella walked forward, also looking at the phone. Carlisle placed his eyes on Ellie and then Bella seeing the same look on their faces.
"Is that Charlie?" Bella questioned, staring at them.
"He's been calling twice a day." Edward told her.
"He's in pretty rough shape." Jacob added on, looking over at Bella.
"Eventually, we'll have to tell him you didn't make it. We'll have to come up with something to tell him about Ellie." Carlisle explained, looking between his mate and Bella.
"He needs to mourn, Bella."
Ellie looked over at Carlisle, who had his golden eyes placed on her. Bella turned around and walked back towards Edward.
"Okay. We'll do it tomorrow."
Emmett threw the newspaper down on the table, leaning forward and picking himself up. "I'm gonna miss this place." Emmett said, walking around Carlisle.
"We'll come back. We always do." Carlisle replied.
"Wait. Nobody said anything about leaving." Jacob said, walking away from the window to look at Carlisle. Ellie placed her crimson eyes on Jacob.
"Once people believe Bella's dead, and eventually Ellie, we can't risk anyone seeing them."
"So you just disappear?"
"Jacob, we don't have another choice."
Ellie watched as Jacob left them, the burette looked over at Carlisle who was still typing on his laptop. She then looked down at her daughter seeing a happy smile resting on her face.
"I'll be back. I'm gonna go put Gwendie down for a nap." Ellie said, picking herself up from the chair.
"Okay." Carlisle simply replied, sending her a soft smile.
Ellie walked out of the room, soon catching up with Jacob who was just about to exit out of the house. She walked over to the steps looking at him as he looked at her.
"Can you wait?" Ellie asked, hoping his answer would be a yes.
"Sure, I'll be outside." Jacob said, opening the door and exiting out of the house.
Ellie smiled moving up the steps to her and Carlisle's room. A crib now rested in the room, Max and Astrid were in there asleep. They were both catching up on their sleep, she figured Gwendolyn would be in perfect hands.
She kissed her daughter's forehead and placed her in the crib covering her with a tiny blanket. Grabbing the stuffed animal she placed it next to her daughter. She then walked over to the dresser, pulled it open and grabbed a pen and paper.
Placing it on the top she began to write some words that would be left for Max and Astrid. Once she was finished she placed it next to them. Then she exited out of the room, closing it behind her. Once she was done she moved down the steps heading out the door seeing Jacob still waiting for her. He was leaning on his bike with his arms crossed.
"If you're going to Charlie's, I'm coming with you." Ellie said, starting a conversation between them.
"Why?" Jacob simply asked her.
"I need to see Charlie, I can't do that to him. I can't let them tell him that I died too. He needs to know that he can still come and see us. I can't lose someone else. I know eventually he will pass on but I want him to be a part of my daughter's life until that does happen."
"Okay, what about your eyes?"
"Oh, I have that handle." Ellie replied, with a bright smile on her lips.
"How?" Jack asked her, continuing the questions.
"I've been practicing, but if you must see I can show you."
"Okay."
"What color do you see right now when you look at my eyes?" Ellie asked him.
"Red."
"Okay, great. Now watch this."
Ellie lifted her hand in the air allowing the psionic blue energy to appear around her hands, eventually her eyes turned to a shade of blue indicating that she was starting to reach her full potential.
Ellie moved her hand towards Jacob, the psionic energy surrounding his head. She moved her hand to the side allowing the magic to move through Jacob's head. The burette lowered her hand allowing everything to disappear.
"And what do you see now?" Ellie asked him, watching as the magic disappeared from his eyes.
"B-Brown." Jacob answered, still looking at her eyes.
"Exactly, like I said. I have it handled."
"How did you do that?"
"Easy, my gift allows me to do that. I can do it to Charlie before he ever sees me. So, I can make him see my brown eyes instead of my red eyes. I just need to see him, which is why it was one of the first things I started practicing."
"Who'd you practice on?" Jacob proceeded to ask her.
"Astrid and Max. They're the only ones that know about it. Though I still haven't figured out what else I can do. But they've been helping me figure out this whole gift or as I like to call it magic. Because that's what it is." Ellie answered.
"Okay, well get on."
With those words Jacob climbed onto his motorcycle. Ellie climbed on after him, wrapping her arms around his waist even though she wasn't comfortable doing that. He turned his motorcycle on and drove down the driveway heading towards Charlie's house.
