CH17: MIRACLES?

Renesmee's POV
Besides the fact that Seth imprinted on Emmie, everything was pretty peachy. We settled in quite rapidly and comfortably. The location was different but many elements from the old house were eminent here as well. The twins grew and apparently so did I. We were well into March now and Poppa explained that considering my 6th birthday was well under way, I was changing, slowly but surely, to look 17 for the rest of my existence.
On the days that Jake came, if he came at all since he was busy nowadays, he'd bring Seth along. My aunt was pretty persistent on her conditions of imprinting but I had to admit that Aunt Rose was really easy on him. He received better treatment than Jacob ever did, that's all I know. I'm guessing she's acting like this only because she knows that he sees Emmie as a friend; he feels compelled to protect her. This all started when Jake brought him along to help with the move. The second he laid his eyes on Emmie, his heart strings were being pulled in all directions, permanently tangling them to see only her and have feelings for only her. On the plus side, she had Rommel to occupy her whenever Emmie and her best friend were together.
Rommel was a mommy's boy, that's for sure, despite his semi burly demeanor. They spent a good majority of their time in the music room, playing duets together. Within a couple of weeks, he was able to master the piano on my level. Gramma was especially happy with this. She'd applaud and claim that seeing her children and grandchildren playing such beautiful music together always made her day.
As for me, my education resumed. Mia and I were officially freshmen in Forks High School, starting our first semester when technically it was second. Thankfully, we adjusted quickly. Since we were the only two who got bumped up, our principal thought it would be better for us to have all our classes together: World History, English, the dreadful PE, Biology, and Geometry. My parents told me that they met in Biology II but I told them I had the same teacher, Mr.Melena.
Nearly everyday when school finally let out, I'd come over to Mia's house until dinner since it still wasn't safe to bring her home.
Sam and Emily announced not too long ago that they were pregnant. Sam also mentioned that he was thinking of retreating from the pack so that he and Emily can can grow old together and raise their children normally. Because of this, Jake had to step in a lot and help train Paul, Sam's Beta. He would be away days on end, performing his Alpha duties, along with filing in for Sam. Thankfully he usually had ample time to come in the morning to give me a goodbye kiss before school. Being with my best friend helped me cope with not seeing Jacob most of the time.
"Ness? Nessie? Helllooooo, Earth to Renesmee?!" Mia snapped. I was looking at her from her bed, completely disregarding my homework, but all I saw was my boyfriend.
"I'm sorry, what were you saying?" I asked.
She sighed in frustration and muttered under her breath a 'never mind' response. She slumped back down on her computer chair, with her back to me. I bit my lip and mustered up enough courage to apologize.
"Look, Mia, I'm sorry. It's just that I miss Jacob. Plus I'm worried about my mo- I mean Bella."
"Whoa, I knew that you were feeling down because of Jake, but you never told me that something was wrong with your sister," she said as she spun her seat so that we were talking eye to eye. Fortunately she didn't notice my little slip up.
"Yeah, I mean I'm sure it's nothing but lately she's been acting really strange."
"What do you mean by strange?"
I thought about it. Momma started acting out of the ordinary about a week after our vacation in Isle Esme. She didn't usually have a temper but for a good couple of days she did. She lashed out one night when we were all watching TV. Commercials started rolling and she got impatient. And when you're an immortal, time isn't that significant of a variable. My mom was absolutely furious at the TV. "I can't stand all this waiting. I'm leaving" were her exact words. She stormed out of the living room within a blink of an eye. I got up to try and console her but daddy already beat me to it, but it didn't necessarily work. Another few days passed and her unexplainable anger died down. Her unusual shifts of mood didn't end there, however, because if she wasn't angry, she was very emotional. Emmie was playing her cello one morning when I was at school and my mom came in to watch. When my cousin was done playing, she opened her eyes to see her Aunt Bella welling up. This worried me especially because vampires can't produce tears. Thankfully that was only a one time thing but she continued being really moody. And then the last thing that happened, the one that was extremely odd, was last night when I was eating my dinner. Gramma made me my favorite meatball and mushroom spaghetti. I was sitting cross-legged on my chair in the dining room when momma came down from upstairs. She looked as if she were hypnotized, my dinner being the culprit. To my complete and utter astonishment, she took a couple bites and said that it was really delicious. It was unbelievable coming from a vampire, who should be saying human food tasted like mud pie. What made things worse was the fact that Poppa had no potential theory as to why my mother was acting this way. When we asked Aunt Alice to see her future she'd bow her head in shame and say that she couldn't see anything. Before, this was her usual answer because of me and Jake, along with the rest of the wolves, the reason behind her blurred visions but over the years, she found ways to read over us and see the future. Whatever was happening to my mom was worrying everyone, me and daddy especially.
I explained everything to Mia, leaving out the details she wasn't supposed to know.
"Well there's only one thing that came to mind as you were explaining your observations to me."
"What?"
"Well I feel like I'm intruding if I ask you what I'm thinking..." she said blushing pink.
"Just ask me," I prompted, but she stayed quiet. I wasn't going to let her get away so I made sure to never draw my gaze away from her, the one thing that made her really, really nervous.
"Okay, okay!" She surrended, actually putting her hands up. She took in a deep breath before continuing.
"Do Edward and Bella..err..have, umm, sex?"
Oh, this was why she was acting so shy. To ease her tension, I laughed.
"Yeah, they do. They've been together for a good long time now so I suppose they do, I guess," I shrugged. Oh, how little did she actually know.
"My thoughts stand corrected then. Bella may very well be pregnant," she said matter-of-factly.
My breathing staggered and my gaze deviated my best friend's hopeful eyes. All of the obvious signs flashed through my mind, all the brain boggling pieces of the puzzles finally coming together. But it couldn't be true! It was impossible for me to have a biological younger sibling, no matter how much I wanted one. Right?
Mia's face started to wrinkle from her worrying. I waved her off and said, "I'm just a little shocked."
"Why? You and I both know that's what happens when 2 people come together and make love," she replied, her words riddled with humor and her face puckering up, making kissy-noises.
"Shut up," I answered playfully. "It's just that she tried to get pregnant not too long ago and my dad checked her and he said she wasn't capable of having children," I continued, completely making it up as I went.
"Oh, I see. Well, then consider this a miracle!" Mia got up and joined me on her bed to give me a big 'congrats' hug. She was really happy for me, so why couldn't I be happy myself? I guess now I understood why everyone feared the unknown...
