Bella wasn't prepared when she saw Edward cross the room in the blink of an eye but responded quickly, slipping her body between them. She knew the peace between them would not last long, but she had hoped it would never come to a physical confrontation. She hoped they both loved her enough to control themselves.
"Stop it!" She barked "Now!" She added looking from Edwards seething face to Jake's, her eyes tearing into both of them as if she could look right into their hearts. Her tiny body was stiff, her head very close to their burning faces. "You are BOTH better than this." She said sternly but now quieter.

Edward felt the puppy squeezing his wrists. Edward broke the grip the puppy had on him when Bella stepped in front of him. Edward broke his angry glare at Jacob and with softening eyes he looked down to Bella and wrapped both arms around her pulling her away from Jacob. His tone was soft now and quiet, almost a whisper. "I'm sorry my love. I should not have lost my temper around you. Please forgive me." He said putting both hands on both her cheeks and placing a gentle kiss on her lips then releasing her face.
He turned away and gave Jacob one last look as he walked outside and into the tree line. Edward had enough of Jacob for one day.

"Listen here now, I don't want you snooping in my head. Nessie and I are friends, we have a very special connection and I would not EVER take advantage of that. So try and give me some credit. There was a long time I didn't trust you. But I trust Bella, and Bella trusts you. So back off me."
Jacob was seething as he took a few steps back to get a hold of his anger. He felt the hair on his neck starting to bristle. He needed to lock it down before something else happened.

"Jakey!" Nessie cried happily as she bounced into the small cottage, throwing her arms around his waist and hugging him from behind. The bags she had were spilled carelessly upon the floor, a mess of pink and soft blue clothing tumbling from them. "Jakey I'm so happy your here.." She murred, but her words fell short. Something wasnt right. Taking a small step back, she knelt down and gathered her messy pile of new clothes before looking to her mother in the kitchen.
"Is..everything alright? I'm not in trouble am I?" She asked quietly. She was young in her mind and heart, but her body was that of a blooming seventeen year old. Her sandy blond hair spilled over her shoulder as she picked up a light pink tank edged with soft white lace.

Bella frowned as Edward kissed her and held her face. "In front of me? You should control your temper ALL the time." She scolded as he walked out the door. She spun and faced Jacob. "And YOU! Don't you dare hide anything from me Jacob Black. Because I WILL find out."
Her eyes seethed as Nessie came into the room. She quickly turned and sighed. "No Nes, of course not. Everything is fine." She said her face unsmiling but suddenly calmer. She turned from Jake and went to Renessmee taking the clothes from her, putting them on a chair and turning back to pull the girl in for a hug. They were nearing the same size now. It looked strange to see Bella hold her in such a maternal fashion when they were so close in physical age.

Jacob started to say something when Nessie walked up behind him and hugged him. He got a goofy, love struck expression on his face. Just being near her was enough to calm him down and put him back in a good mood.
He looked at the bags of clothes, wondering just what all she got. "Everything is fine Nessie. Your mom made cookies!"

Nessie's lush lips pulled into a pout as she looked between the three of them, her arms drawing up to her chest as she crossed them. "I might be young, but I'm not stupid. I dont need Daddy's ability to know somethings up...so stop leaving me in the dark."
It was at times like this that her real age showed, and she wasnt the small little girl that everyone had fallen in love with. Her mothers stubborness and strength shown through, and her fathers sheer determination.

Jacob tried to pacify her, putting an arm gently around her shoulders. "It is alright Nessie, we had an arguement, but it is over now." He smiled over at Bella. There was no sense in going into all the details, but he felt like Renesmee deserved to know at least some of what was going on.
"That is the thing about being friends. We can argue and then be ok." At least that was what he hoped the case was. He wanted to get along with Edward and remain friends with Bella. He just wanted Edward to stay out of his head. And he didn't bother to hide any of these thoughts.

Bella smiled but tried not to laugh out loud. She remembered when she felt much like Nessa. Like everyone knew something she didn't and no one was letting her in on it. She remembered the feeling all too well. Renesmee behaved in many ways like Bella did so many years ago, but the years in her new life had aged Bella.
She didn't acknowledge Jacobs comment about "friendship". They would talk later and he knew it. This discussion wasn't over. "Cookie Nessa? They're a new recipe." She said shoving another plate of cookies to Jake with a silent look that meant "Eat them" before going back to the tray and putting a few more warm cookies on a plate for Nes. She could see Edward brooding outside in the field. THEY would talk later too. His temper had gotten the best of him today and that couldn't happen again.

Being who she was, she knew better then it was just a small argument. Like when a person walked into the room, and everyone just falls silent. She knew that it was her they were talking about, and that made her even more upset. Bit seeing they were all being hush hush about it, Nessie just sat down at the barstool and grabbed a cookie, nibbling numbly.
