Kristen In Los Angeles on December 12

-Bella-

Watching Rosalie outsmart Edward was pretty funny. I just didn't think Edward would get her back for it. Nor that she'd be so mad, she'd crush his piano. I think she was sort of mad he wasn't 更多 upset.

Emmett found it all unbelievably funny, as expected.

As soon as Renesmee and Jake got back, Zafrina, Senna, Kachiri, Benjamin and Tia were coming to visit. Just for the weekend.

I could hardly wait to see Benjamin, Tia, and the Amazonian Clan again. It had been a while.

One thing that was presently bothering me, something we'd been putting off for a while. Visiting the Volturi, to prove...

-Renesmee-

"Black? As in, Jacob Black?" Renee said.
"Yes," I 说 nervously, not sure how it mattered.
Renee blinked and said, "Oh."

Half an 小时 later, Jacob and I were 展示 Renee our honeymoon pictures. She was so warm and accepting. I felt like I already knew everything about her.

Jacob had "magically" produced 照片 albums filled with copies of EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN PICTURE EVER TAKEN OF ME. None with my mom, though.

Renee cooed over how "absolutely adorable" I had been. Jacob told her she could have them.

"You probably want to see the pictures I have of Bella," Renee 说 quietly....

-Renesmee-

I'd walked along the 支撑, 海岸 of Isle Renesmee, when I saw the perfect spot. I spread the towel I'd brought out, and, slinging the net shoulder bag I had brought along, I started hunting seashells. It was weird, but I liked doing it.

I picked up a large cowrie and held it to my ear. I closed my eyes, and suddenly felt Jacob's warm arms around my waist. He whispered in my free ear, "I 爱情 you."

I didn't usually like gooey moments, and I know this sounds cliche`, but I wanted to live in this moment for eternity.

I lowered the seashell, turned, and said, "I 爱情 you, too."

We spent the rest...
