Still Dawn: The Saga Continues

Chapter 10, You should've called

CHAPTER 10: YOU SHOULD'VE CALLED

It had been 3 days since Billy Black had died. Carlisle had gone back home to be with the rest of his family, but would return with them next week for the funeral. Me and Edward were still staying with Charlie and Sue, But, on Jacobs request, Nessie had gone to stay with him in La Push for a couple of days. We had discussed it with him and decided that if he felt the time was right then he could tell Nessie about their imprint. But he'd said he just needed her close by right now.

 I never have been able to understand imprinting, but I did understand how, when you've lost someone you love, you need that special person who holds your heart nearby. Even if it is just to hold them close and not let go. That's what I'd been like with Edward, every chance I got I was curling up into him and not moving, just needing him close by. That is why Carlisle had gone home, he needed Esme. Charlie needed Sue. So Jacob needed Renesmee. Of course, that hadn't stopped Edward constantly worrying,

"She should have at least called by now" he was moaning  

"Edward, we've been through this a hundred times, the phone lines are still down"  

"She has a cell Bella!" he snapped  

"And like I told you, the signal poles are down as well" I smiled "she's perfectly safe Edward, just relax, she'll be home in a few hours"  

"How do you expect me to relax Bella? Our daughter is away we can't get hold of her and she's surrounded by a pack of dogs!" he hissed  

"She's 10 minutes away, and you know as well as I do the wolves won't hurt her"  

"maybe not intentionally"  

"Edward she's fine!" I insisted "Jacob would've let us know if something was wrong"  

"How? If the Phone lines are down?" he panicked  

"If something was wrong he'd have sent one of the pack to get us, it would take a matter of minutes, now stop trying to wear a whole into Charlies floorboards please!" He'd been pacing on and off for days, worrying about Ness. I missed her too, its the longest I'd been away from her since I was changed, but she was growing up. We had to let her live a life.  

"Fine" he huffed, sitting down next to me.

"I'm going to check she's alright" he announced a minute later, heading towards the front door  

"Don't you dare Edward Cullen! Besides, Carlisle took the car" I said getting up from my seat to fetch him.  

"Then I'll run" now it was my turn to sigh,  

"Edward, you can't do this every time she's away from home for more than an hour, she's growing up, we need to give her space to breathe" I grabbed his hand and pulled him back to the couch "She'll be asleep now anyway, its 3 am! Now, come on, I want to discuss wedding plans!" I insisted trying to distract him.  

"So ring Alice!" he exclaimed, his voice getting louder  

"Keep your voice down, Charlie and Sue are asleep" I hissed  

"where do you think she's sleeping?" he asked, sitting down on the couch next to me  

I rolled my eyes before answering "In Rach's room, like she said she would. Now seriously Edward, this is getting ridiculous, she's not a child any more"  

"She's 6 years old!" he spat  

"Yes, to us, maybe, but in reality she's a 16, 17 year old teenager who needs a life away from her parents!" Edward looked at me and sighed,
