Wild Souls || Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn [2]

Bella's heart stopping ripped their bond apart, they looked away, everyone locking their bodies in place. Alessia tightened her arms around a sleeping Renessme and lifted her hand around Jacobs' elbow.

His brown eyes caught her and took a protective step in front of them, nodding silently. It was his way of letting her know that he was there to keep them safe.

"They'll be back any moment, Edward said he'd be taking her far enough but staying close to the house. Bella will want to see Renessme." Jasper spoke up, standing near the exits and windows as they anticipated the couples return.

Alessia bounced the baby in her arms, keeping calm despite the many dangerous possibilities that could occur at any moment. Still she stayed put, calming as she remembered that every person in the room would be there to protect the child, and even Jacob was there to put his life on the line.

"I just wish we could give her some practice before," she mumbled lowly, although it was clear everyone in the room heard as they nodded.

"Not like Edward would give us a chance to do something like that." Rosalie retorted.

Jacobs' head turned in their direction, eyes squinting as if he had figured something out and saying. "What if I went out there before? Test dummy and all?"

"That would be ideal..."

"Don't even think about it..."

Rosalie and Alessia met eyes once more, between them a silent debate as they bickered wordlessly over who would get the upper hand here. Neither wavered until finally Jacob stepped in once the footsteps began to grow close.

"Look, its our best bet right now. Besides, she won't bite me and if she tries to I'll shift into a wolf? Its best for Nessie, you know that."

The strawberry blonde felt herself resigning in her efforts until finally she was turning away anxiously. It was hard to deny the fact but even more so when Jacob asked her with his puppy brown eyes. His footsteps stomped outside just as Bella and Edward grew closer and Alessia felt her breathing cut short.

"You do realize Bella might kill him." Emmett pointed out, speaking softly.

Alessia raised a brow, "don't say that."

"It's the way he looks at you with Renessme, Im surprised he hasn't taken Rose's arm off every time she comes near you, now can you imagine Bella as her mother?" Emmett continued and judging by the way everyone stayed silent and avoided eye contact they also felt the same way.

She licked her lips and bit her bottom one, looking down at the child who had her cheek pressed tightly against her chest. Her hand was clasping the thin chain around her neck tightly, like she didn't want to let her aunt go. The child's chocolate brown eyes were widely blown, patiently awaiting an explanation for all their commotion.

She was smart, Alessia knew this very well, which meant she was most likely already putting everything together. She decided to stay silent, despite the child mental pleads as her small hand cupped her aunts alabaster skin.

"Gotta be patient Ness." She mentally replied, winking at the child as the door opened.

Jacob swung the door open, immediately letting in the cold air but also the smell of the child's parents closing in. It prompted her to begin pulling up and with the help of her aunt she was able to sit properly. The wolf was determined, walking straight towards them both and sending Alessia a look of anxiety as he took a place next to her, closer then ever. She swallowed thickly, eyeing him as Nessie put a hand on his arm to calm his nerves. It was her way of telling them both that everything was fine. The surrogate parents of the child instantly calmed at the child smile.
