Homeless and maybe thinking of Asgard next month

[withatouch]

Do you think Jacob will come if you send me there? Or any of the others? Momma and daddy won't even know who I am if I show up. They promised we could stay together forever but they wouldn't remember that either. How will I show them everything if you have to take away my power?

[It's her main method of communication. She wouldn't even know how to start telling them.]

At least Seth would know. And I could play with that other little girl you keep talking about. Alice, just like auntie Alice.

Comments

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

What about me, cutie?

[withatouch]

There's another girl there who's name is Alice too!

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

Is iiiiiiit.....Alice in Wonderland?

[withatouch]

[Smiles.] That's the one!

and I'm dead

[174awhile]

[Daddy needs a minute. Or two. Or thirty hundred thousand because what is this. Clears his throat, swallowing thickly.]

Seth will have told us about you. [And boy, will he owe Seth for that big time. As if he doesn't already owe Seth big time. His gaze softens.]

Don't worry, we'll figure out a way for you to communicate. We'll stay together, like we promised.

[Chuckles weakly.] And I'm sure you and Miss Liddell will get along just fine. [Like sisters, hopefully, because Alice is kind of his adopted daughter oops.]

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

Imagine that.

[She grins wide, leaning down to be at her niece's level. Unfortunately, she doesn't have to lean very far.]

Did you know that's my most favorite book? We should read it together one night, I know you'd love it.

what no, don't die

[withatouch]

[Daddy will get that minute. Maybe even a few but they don't exactly have all the time in the world anymore.]

He will? That's good. [She will have to say 'thank you' to him for that.]

Maybe my new power will help. [A pause and she's looking up at him curiously.] Would we be able to live together?

[Smiles a little. Renesmee wouldn't have to worry about hurting Alice at least.] We could read together and you can play the piano for us, daddy.

[nevertasted]

[ Must keep comments about mongrel dogs in check... ]

Or you could stay here with me. Then you wouldn't have to worry about them not recognizing you. [ And Rosalie could have ALL THE NESSIE TIME. ]

[withatouch]

How did you know?

[Did you see it? Is the question she really wants to ask but doesn't. A shake of her head at the question. Auntie is very lucky because...]

We should! Momma hasn't read me that one.

[withatouch]

[Auntie Rose! Yes, must keep those comments away from Nessie.]

I want to be with momma and daddy though too. [Why can't she have everyone?]

[nevertasted]

[ It's a good thing she's got amazing self control. ]

I know you do. [ She reaches out to brush some hair back from Nessie's face. ] Just promise me you won't let your mundane do anything too crazy with you, alright? No matter what happens or where you go.

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

Ohhhhh, I have my ways.

[Alice knows what Nessie means, so she just gives the girl the smallest wink of affirmation.]

I think that's because your momma was saving it for me. It's a very special book- well, I should say books.

[withatouch]

[It all comes out when she's not in the room.]

You could come with me. [So hopeful. Her hand reaches up to rest on Rosalie's.] I promise! And my mun promises too.

[nevertasted]

[ Exactly! Self control!

She smiles a little. ] It's possible that I might, but I don't want you getting your hopes up. [ Even if Rose likes the idea more now that Nessie might be headed there, too. Priorities, Rose has got 'em. ] Good. I don't think your mun would like me much when I'm angry. [ Though she's teasing, it's true. She'd kick anyone's ass that hurt Nessie. ]

[withatouch]

[Giggles at the answer.]

She was? [Excited surprise. She grabs Alice's hand.] Can we start reading them now?

[duckduckswan]

[Oh life. Ohhhh life. Thank gods for fourth wall knowledge in this world, hm? Still. A kid. They have a kid. Not that it's a bad thing, it's just ... She'd barely even thought of marriage, and now she might be getting a child-from-the-future.

Even if she is ... sort of precious.]

Yeah, I'm... Pretty sure Seth will've told us about you.

[Or will, if he knows whats good for him.]

What sort've power would you want to have instead? If you come to Asgard.

[Which, strangely enough, makes her both happy, nervous and .. a bit angry, all at once. It's bad enough having someone as young as Alice Liddel there ... But to have Renesmee? Her own child?]

[withatouch]

[At least there's only one wolf in Asgard at the moment!

Nods but smiles.] I want you to but we can always talk here if you don't. [Don't they all? Giggles at that.] No, I don't think she would.

[nevertasted]

[ It's a small bonus. ]

I want to as well. [ Sliding her hand off Nessie's head, Rosalie takes the girl's hand instead, thumb rubbing over the back of it. ] We'll just have to wait and see what happens. [ Her smile stretches a bit wider at the sound of her giggle. ] Let's hope she's aware of it as well.

TOO LATE

[174awhile]

[Do you want to see daddy cry? Because he can do that now.]

Yes, it is. Although your mother and I might still...be shocked, to see you. [Which is a gross understatement, at least on his part.]

Perhaps. Do you know what it will be? [Brows furrow slightly as he meets her gaze, hesitating.] I don't see why not. We certainly aren't going to leave you to fend for yourself.

[Can't help smiling a little, too.] I'd love to, sweetheart. I'd better start looking for a job. [Another round of weak chuckles. So he can afford to buy books and a piano.]

[withatouch]

[Who needs the fourth wall in this place? It's momma. And she sort of looks the way Nessie first saw her, minus the blood. Still, she thinks momma is very pretty.]

Are you sure?

[Ooo, better tell them.]

If I got to choose? [Hm, that's a difficult choice.] Maybe telepathy like daddy or either of Freyr's powers.

[The music one seems pretty close to what she can do now.]

[withatouch]

Maybe if we visualize it like Siobhan, it will happen. [Holding that hand as tightly as she can.] She likes you so she wouldn't want to make you angry.

THAT SUCKS, COME BACK TO LIFE ALREADY

[withatouch]

[No, of course not. Unless they're happy tears. That's acceptable.]

Most people are the first time they see me. [Comes with what she is and Nessie is a little used to it.]

No, my mun can't seem to decide on a house for me. You won't be uncomfortable with momma still human? [She's been told that sometimes vampires still have the urge.]

A job? What for? [The idea is a bit foreign to her. And daddy will soon learn that it would be better to just visit the library.]

[duckduckswan]

[A bit healthier looking, yes. This is good.]

Yeah, I'm sure. Don't worry about it.

[Worrying is for grown ups to do, not little girls like Nessie-- Gods, she really didn't like that nickname much.]

Telepathy might be nice. I don't think he's got that in Asgard, though. Not anymore... [Hm, no, he doesn't.] But that's okay. You wouldn't get in my head with it, anyway.

[She's teasing. A little. Um. How-do tease with children who are actually yours ? ? ?]

[madcuriosity]

You would want to play together?

[withatouch]

[Very, very good. No dying, momma.]

Okay.

[She will just worry about other things instead. It grows on a person - just rather slowly for momma.]

Does he still need to drink blood? [Nessie heard some vampires still have to. A little laugh.] I already have been. Not like daddy or auntie Alice have though.

[There had been so much she wanted to show her when momma finally woke up.]
