“Truth,” Nessie said, barely being able to contain the excitement in her voice. I knew one of the rules forbid me from listening in on the others’ thoughts, but I couldn’t help but find out how Jasper was doing.

“Have you ever lied to Mommy or Daddy?” Bella asked. I smiled at Jasper’s newfound excitement towards the game – he had never really been one for these things. Good thing I had the perfect cover up – Bella’s question. I thanked fate everyday for putting her into my life. She seemed to be able to do everything at just the right time. She was perfect in every way.

“No, Mommy,” Nessie stated happily. Looking into her thoughts, I found that she was telling the truth and smiled again. Just another perfect thing fate had given me – a daughter. Against all odds, I had a biological daughter.

“Uncle Emmy! Truth or Dare?” Renesmee hadn’t missed a beat and had doubled in excitement at getting to pick her Uncle ‘Emmy’.

She certainly doesn’t waste time. Emmett’s ‘voice’ was full of frustration. He didn’t want Nessie to pick him – he wanted his wife to do so. I rolled my eyes at the obvious.

“Dare.” Emmett’s voice was full of challenge. If it was going to be like this, he was taking the opportunity to prove to his niece just how great he was. Of course, there really wasn’t much to prove. Both Jasper and I paled in comparison to how cool Nessie thought he was. They had played numerous games together. She always relied on Jacob and Emmett for entertainment.

“I dare you to eat an apple.”

Emmett leapt up to get the apple, and settled back down into his seat in just seconds. He took his first bite achingly slowly, even for humans. The disgust on his face was obvious, but he was working hard to hide it.

Alice, who was remembering the time in the cafeteria when Bella had asked me to eat food, started laughing. I had taken a bite of the slimy human delicacy that was pizza. I remembered my own personal disgust. It was like dirt – yet worse.

Emmett shot Alice a glare and swallowed, clearly relieved to be done. The apple was tossed aside and forgotten.
