“Oh, he doesn't have to. I already saw the whole thing in his head.” Edward said, grinning the crooked smile that I now wished to wipe off his gorgeous face.

I felt my earlier bravado start to dissipate and my shoulders slumped down.

“I give up. You tell the story, Jacob. It's not like I could really remember the whole thing now, anyway. Ever since the transformation…” I said, totally defeated.

“Oh goody. More Bella stories. This oughtta be good.” Emmett said, rubbing his hands together.

I sighed and wandered back into the living room.

“Aww it's no good for me to tell the story if you aren't standing with us.” Jacob whined, but they followed me to the room and all took seats on the couches.

Edward sat on my right, while Jacob sat on my left, with Renesmee on his lap. He looked like a big brother holding onto his fragile little sister, which was one part of imprinting I was thankful for. Only platonic feelings were there until the proper age of the one imprinted upon. It made the imprinting a little easier to deal with.

“Okay, so one year, Charlie decided to take the week off and go visit Bella in Phoenix. I never thought that visit would've been so entertaining.” he started, getting excited.

Edward was clearly enjoying himself and Alice seemed to be in the know now as well, since she had taken to trying to hide giggles. Jasper obviously looked confused by the onslaught of emotions. Smugness from Jacob, giddiness from Edward, Emmett, and Alice, desperation and embarrassment from me and confusion from everybody else.

“When he came back, that man was all smiles. Billy begged to know what was going on. Had he met someone? Was he getting back with Renee? Both were No's but instead he just pulled out a little VHS and waved it in front of Billy, my two sisters and me.” Jacob said, starting to chuckle at the God forsaken memory.

I was just glad I couldn't remember the whole thing. Edward seeing I was feeling spotlighted, pulled me closer to him and wrapped an arm around me, rubbing soothing circles on my right bicep.

“So, he pops in this tape. Billy even made popcorn for all of us. It was a taping of Bella's Christmas performance for school. I guess the elementary school she went to was small, since they all had to perform and there were only like twenty kids there.” Jacob continued.
