After the battle was over we went back to the house and we had a little party from us winning and glad that Alice and Jasper was back home with us.
Everyone left but Jacob, Huilen, and Nahuel. They stayed with us for a little bit. Nessie was asleep in my arms. I looked up from Nessie and then I seen Nahuel looking at me or he was looking at Nessie.
I didn't like it when he was looking at her like she was his sister or something. I wonder if Jacob saw. I looked at Edward and I wonder if he is thinking what I was, about taking her home and put her in her own bed.
“Should we take her-” I said.
“Yea, we should. She hasn't had enough sleep last night because of someone snoring.” Edward laughed.
“Yea, well I think I should go back home to my bed. My dad would be so glad that I'm back.” Jacob said.
“Thank you.” I said.
“Anytime, Bella. But you already knew that Bella.”
I got up with her in my arms real slowly so I would not wake her up. She had a lot on her little shoulder.
Jacob kissed her on the forehead and then kissed me on my forehead, then punched Edward in the arm and left. I was just Bella to him. I wasn't a vampire, I was just like myself, no one else to him.
After he left, we left. We were hugged and kissed by our family. We took our time to get to our place. When we did get there we put her into her bed. I took off my necklace that Aro gave me and threw it in the corner. She can play with it if she wants. She likes pretty things.
Edward and I walk to our room holding hands. He looked at me and said. “A night for celebrations.” he murmured, and he put his hand under my chin to lift my lips to his.
“Wait,” I hesitated, pulling away.
He looked at me in confusion. As a general rule, I didn't pull away. Okay, it was more than a general rule. This was a first.
“I want to try something,” I informed him, smiling slightly at his bewildered expression.
I put my hands on both sides of his face and closed my eyes in concentration.
I hadn't done very well with this when Zafrina had tried to teach me before, but I knew my shield better now.
It stills wasn't anywhere near as easy as shielding other people along with myself. I felt the elastic recoil again as my shield fought to protect me. I had to strain to push it entirely away from; it took all of my focus.
“Bella!” Edward whispered in shock.
I knew it was working then, so I concentrated even harder. Some of the memories were not clear – dim human memories seen through weak eye and heard through weak ears: the first time I'd seen his face... the way it felt when he'd held me in the meadow... the sound of his voice through the darkness of my faltering consciousness when he'd saved me from James... his face as he waited under a canopy of flowers to marry me... every precious moment from the island... his cold hands touching out baby through my skin...
And the sharp memories, perfectly recalled: his face when I'd opened my eyes to my new life, to the endless dawn of immortality... that first kiss... that first night...
His lips, suddenly fierce against mine, broke my concentration.
With a gasp, I lost my grip on the struggling weight I was holding away from myself. It snapped back like stressed elastic, protecting my thought once again.
“Oops, lost it!” I sighed.
“I heard you,” he breathed. “How? How did you do that?”
“Zafrina's idea. We practiced with it a few times.”
He was dazed. He blinked twice and shook his head.
“Now you know,” I said lightly, and shrugged. “No one's ever loved anyone as much as I love you.”
“You're almost right.” he smiled, his eyes still a little wider than usual. “I know of just one exception.”
“Liar.”
He started to kiss me again, but then stopped abruptly.
“Can you do it again?” he wondered.
I grimaced. “It's very difficult.”
He waited, his expression eager.
“I can't keep it up if I'm even that slightest bit distracted,” I warned him.
“I'll be good,” he promised.
I pursed my lips, my eyes narrowing. Then I smiled. I pressed my hands to his face again, hefted the shield right out of my mind, and with the crystal – clear memory of the first night of my new lift... lingering on the details.
I laughed breathlessly when urgent kiss interrupted my efforts again.
“Damnit,” he growled, kissing hungrily down the edge of my jaw.
“We have plenty of time to work on it,” I reminded him.
“Forever and forever and forever.” he murmured.
“That sounds exactly right to me.”
And then we continued blissfully into this small but perfect place of ours forever.
I have my old family and friends, and now my new family and friends. What else could go wrong, well Alice is here now to let us know.
Edward and I were on the bed holding each other, just kissing when the sun was just coming up. It was about 7 or 8 A.M. I was thinking.
I was about to get up and get dressed, when I heard Nessie scream. I grabbed my blanket and ran into her room with Edward right behind me.
“Honey, what's wrong?” I asked.
“Mommy! Oh mommy.” Nessie said. Tears coming down her face.
“Oh baby, it was just dream. Don't worry I'm here.” I said to her.
“But it felt so real.”
“What was it about?” Edward asked her.
“It was like you two, grandma, grandpa, Aunty Rose and Alice, uncle Emmett and Jasper, and all out friends were dead. Even the werewolves were dead. I was the only one alive. Aro wanted me to join him.” she was crying harder.
“Don't worry hun, they are done forever, they will never hurt us again. Let's get to the house.” Edward and I said to her.
He was already dressed. I put on a baby blue dress on. It was one of Edward's favorites on me. Put some heels on too. But when we ran to go to the house I was barefoot.
When we got to the back door I put my heels on. Edward carried Nessie in and got her some food. When I walked in Alice came in the kitchen.
“Hey Nessie, hows my baby girl?”
Nessie ran to Alice crying to her. That's when Rosalie and everyone came in the kitchen.
“What's wrong with her?” Rosalie asked.
“She had a nightmare.” I said.
“Of what?” Emmett and Carlisle said at the same time.
“About what happen at the clearing.” Edward said. Then I added. “She thought we were all dead and Aro wanted her to join them.”
“That will never happen,” Rosalie hissed. “Over my damn body.” Rosalie walked to Alice and Nessie. “Come here baby. Don't worry, he will never get you. And if her does I will kill him before he gets you.”
“Damn right, Rosalie.” Emmett said.
“Thanks, guy. I love y'all so much.” Nessie said and whipped her tears away.
“We love you, too baby.” Esme said.
Rosalie put her down so she can eat.
“Mommy, you look very pretty.”
“Thank you.” I kissed her on her forehead.
Then my phone went off. It was my dad Charlie.
“Good, morning Charlie.”
“Hi Bella, Ummm... are you busy?”
“No, I am not. What's wrong dad?”
Edward looked at me when I said that.
“Can you come over I need to tell you, well show you something in person.”
“Okay, Charlie. I'll be there in about 10 minutes.”
“Okay bye.” then he hung up.
“What's wrong?” Edward said.
“I don't know. Alice did you see anything that happen with my dad?”
“No, I have not.”
“Hmm... well I'll be back he wants me to come over.”
“Do you want me to come with you?”
“Well he said he wanted to tell well shoe me something in person so, no honey.”
“Okay love you.” he said then kissed me good-bye.
I grabbed my keys on the hook and went to the garage and and took my new red Lambo car.
When I got on to the freeway I hit the gas. I was going about 80 miles per hour. When I turn off the freeway I thought I seen a werewolf but I wasn't sure.
I got to my dad's house. There was a black Mercedes car there behind my old Chevy truck.
I got out and walked up to the door and walked in the house. I smell someone else was here with my dad.
“Dad. Charlie, I'm here what's up?” when I walked into the front room. That's when it hit me.
“Hi Bella.”
“Mom.” I said. If I could cry I would be crying a lot right now. I have not seen my mom since the day of my wedding. “Oh my god, mom. What are you doing here?”
“Came here to see you, and Phil is playing ball here this week. How have you been. How's my new son-in-law and granddaughter. Charlie told me after I saw the Christmas pictures.”
“Well, one he's at home and she's with him and they are okay.” I told her.
“Bella, god, look at you. You are so beautiful. I like the new look.”
“Ummm... Yea new look... Thanks mom.” I said.
“So is it true what your father said that you are a vampire and Edward and his family and Renesmee is your and Edward's real daughter, that you had her and dies to have her?”
“Yes, it is. I am very sorry mom. I wanted to tell you so bad about it but I didn't know if you would be strong as dad about it. Would you like to come to my place to see Renesmee mom.”
“Well I don't know.”
“I won't hurt you. I swear.”
“Can Charlie come?”
“Yes, he can. Dad can you drive her there?”
“Yes.” Charlie said.
“Okay. I'll meet y'all there.”
I walked to my Lambo and hit the gas as hard as I could to get to the house. I was there in about 5 minutes. I didn't even walk in, I ran in the house.
“Bella, what's wrong.” Emmett and Jasper asked.
Edward's head snapped up when they said that and looked right at me.
“I have bad news. Charlie told Renee and they are on there way here.”
“What did he tell her.” Jasper was the one asking.
“Everything that Jacob had told him. But about me and us. About us being vampires and that I have a daughter.”
Alice came into the room. “Jacob is coming in 5, 4, 3, 2...”
“Hey guys, what's up?” he said. “Hey, Nessie.”
She smiled at him, and then said. “Did you know that grandpa Charlie told grandma Renee about mommy?”
“What?” he looked at me. “Are you freaking kidding me.”
“No, they are on there way here. And was that you that crossed the freeway right before you get off to go to Charlie's?”
“Yea, Billy sent me over there to give Charlie some fish but your mom wasn't there.” he said.
“Well.” I stop and turn my head to the freeway and heard Charlie's car. “They are here.”
I started pacing to the door and to back to Jake. I was so mad like I was going to lose it. Edward came to me and put his hands on my shoulders.
“Bella, stop.” Edward said and put his hand on my chin to make me look up at him.
I looked up at him and he said again. “You can do this. It is just like it when Charlie came here.”
'Knock, knock, knock,' Charlie or Renee knocked.
I frozen where I stood and Jasper opened the door. Nessie ran to me before Charlie and Renee came in. I guess she was scared too. I unfrozen and turn around.
“Hi mom, Charlie.” I said.
“Hi Charlie nice to see you again.” Jake said.
“Hi.” Charlie said. “Hi Nessie, hows grandpa's girl?”
She looked at me and I shook my head. “Okay.”
“Can I have a hug?”
“Yes.” she walked over to him.
He picked her up. “Oh, Renee this is our granddaughter Renesmee Carlie Cullen, but you can also call her Nessie.” he said.
“Hi Nessie.” my mom said.
“Hi grandma.”
I grabbed Edwards hand. He whispered to me in my ear so low that only vampires could hear. “Don't worry Bella.”
“Mom, Charlie why don't you guys sit down on the couch.”
“Here I'll get up, here y'all.” Emmett said.
“Emmett you don't have to do that.” Charlie said.
“It's good. I have to work on my jeep. Rosalie, come help me.”
“Nice to meeting you again Renee. Charlie. Coming honey.”
“Rose.” they both said.
“Hi, Renee. How have you been?” Esme asked her.
“Oh Esme I'm so good. How are you?”
“I been good. Keeping the kids, grandchild, and husband good.” Esme said and smiled at Nessie and winked at me.
“Well, that's good. Jake are you gonna say anything.” Renee said.
I laughed so did Jake then he said. “Ummm... yea Renee or should I say Aunt Renee.” he laughed again. “We are just like family.”
“Yea, we are.” she said. Then she looked at Edward. “Edward.”
“Renee. Hows Phil doing?”
“Very good really.” she said. Well, he's here playing baseball.”
“Sweet!” Jasper said well yelled.
Charlie, Renee, and Jacob jumped. Alice started giggling. Carlisle came downstairs, well flew downstairs. Then he seen Renee.
“Oh hi Renee. I didn't see or hear you were hear. How are you?”
“I been well. What about you, Carlisle?”
“I been better.” he said. “I been busy at the hospital. Speaking of the hospital I got to leave to get to the hospital. I got two mothers that's having babies.”
“Oh okay.” she said.
“Sorry, I have to leave like this and all when you just got her.”
“Its good. Do what you have to do.” Renee said.
He shooked his head, gave Esme a kiss and left.
I sat on the couch and talk to my mother and father. Nessie went over to the piano started plating one of her's and Edward's songs.
Edward went over to sit next to her and started playing with her. She was the 3rd best person to play the piano.
When she did that she just looked so much like her father. And she's only about 5 or 6 months old but she looks like a 3 or 4 year old. Could be even more than that. She just growing so fast and she is very smart for her age. She knows how to read and write. She is so smart she started playing the piano when she was about 2 months old. She just kept watching Rosalie and Edward play the piano a lot. She learned how to dance all by herself well with a little help from her aunty Alice at the age of 3 or 4 weeks old. She look her first word at the age of 1 or 2 weeks old and that word went into her first sentence. If I could cry I would have. She's my little angel, my sweet heart, my gift from god.
When Edward and Nessie was done Renee, Charlie, Jacob, and I clapped at her.
“She looks a whole lot like you Bella.”
“Yea, but she acts a lot like Edward tho.” I said. “But she has Charlie's curly hair.”
Charlie smiled about that. “Thanks, honey.”
“Your welcome, dad.” I said.
“So, Bella.... I want to know everything.” my mom asked me.
“What do you want to know?”
“Well... How strong are you?”
Emmett had to say something about this. “Ha!” Renee jumped. “Your on.” Emmett came running into the house from the garage.
Renee looked confused. “What?”
“You asked, 'How strong Bella is,' well your on. I am the strongest one here before she came along.” Emmett said smiling.
“Oh okay.”
“Really Emmett. After what happen two days ago.” I said.
“What happen two days ago?” Renee asked.
“Nothing mom.” I murmured.
“Ummm...., Bella, 'need to know' is a good idea to tell me. I am your mother. I do care about you.” She reply. She'd used the same sentence what Charlie said to me when Jacob told him about us.
“Renee, I know you are my mother but you don't need to know about everything. I am dead anyway so, don't worry, damn!” I hissed at her and flew out of the house.
Edward went to turn around and Esme or Alice grabbed his arm and told him to let me be. I don't know who is was that all I heard.
I knew I shouldn't have don't that. I went to mine and Edward's meadow.
I knew it wouldn't be long until someone came looking for me and the person who came I didn't have in mind would come to find me.
It was Esme that came looking for me. I was in a tree when I seen her into view. I jumped down.
“Esme, what are you doing here? How did you know I was here?” I said.
“Alice saw you come here. And I told your mom I would talk to you but I am a mom, Bella.” Esme said.
“I can't believe I even said that to her.” I put my head in my hands.
“Bella, if you want your mother in your life, you need to tell her everything.”
Esme was a mom to me. And she was right. “Your right. Thank you.”
“Your welcome, hun. And oh Ummm.... Nessie told well, “showed” Renee what happen.” Esme told me.
“She did. What did Renee say.”
“She said, she was sorry for what we went thru and all. And she knew what you were coming from.”
“Oh.” that was all what I said.
“Come on. Let's go home, Bella.” she said.
I shooked my head and hugged Esme. “Thank you.”
She kissed my forehead. “Your welcome.”
When we got back to the house, Jacob, Renesmee, and Edward was gone. They must have went hunting. Alice was next to Renee. Charlie was watching New York and Green Bay with Emmett. Jasper was not in the room. Rosalie was under the steps humming to herself.
“Mom , I'm sorry.” I told her.
“Bella, don't. I'm sorry. I should not have said anything about it. Nessie showed me what happen. Why would they want to kill someone so good.” Renee murmured the last part.
“Mom, please.”
“Sorry, I'll stop.”
“Emmett... you ready.”
“Ready for what?” Jacob said walking into the kitchen door with Edward and Renesmee behind them.
“To see if Bella is still strong.” Emmett said.
“Hell yea. I'm gonna beat your ass again.” I said. I flew to Edward and kissed him for good luck. “Love you.”
“I love you, too. What was that for?”
“It was for luck.” I said. “Charlie, Renee, come one. Follow us.”
Emmett flew outside to our big rock that was still had the crack on it from us the last time. “Come on little sister.”
I sat down and I put my arm on the rock. He counted down and he tried to move his hand, but like the last time nothing happen. I smiled at him and I did what I did the last time. I let him win for a second, then I moved my arm and he lost.
He was mad that he lost again. Everyone laughed. Nessie flew to me and jumped in my arms.
“YAY MOMMY!” she laughed.
After she said that, everyone laughed with her. My mother walked over to me smiling like she was proud of me.
“What do you think mom?” I asked.
“Wow that was cool. Emmett looks mad tho.” she said.
“He'll get over it.” Edward said. “She is amazing isn't she, Renee?”
“Yea, she always was amazing ever since she was born.” Renee said. Then Charlie added. “I say she's God's child.” he laughed.
If I could blush I would have big time.
“Nessie, come on you have to go to bed.” I told my daughter.
Renee and Charlie left together. Jacob left like about 10 minutes after they did. Thanks to him he got Nessie all wide awake now by playing with her.
“Edward, get her to bed.” I told him.
“Nessie, listen to your mother. I know you had fun playing with Jacob, but it's time to go to bed.” he said to her.
“Awww, okay.” she said. “Love you mommy. Love you daddy.”
She ran to me and gave me a kiss good night and then ran to Edward and did the same thing. Then Edward put her into her bed and then came into our room.
I was looking up at the moon when he came behind me and put his arms around me.
“It's Twilight out.” he said, “The same night I stayed with you.” he murmured into my ear.
“Yea, the same day that we kissed too.” I murmured back.
I turned around to look at him. His eyes were bright yellow cause of the moon. I out my arms around his neck, so I could kiss his lips.
A warm sound came out of his throat. Then he picked me up and then he jumped onto the bed. This was the first night we made love, after I was reborn. A lot of things had happen on this night ever since me and Edward got together from day one.
Edward and I made love until about 6:30 A.M. We had to stop because Emmett and Jasper came to the cottage and knocked on the door asking if Edward wanted to hurt with them. Edward looked at me and I shook my head yes that he could go. So Edward left and I had the cottage to myself for a little bit until Nessie woke up. While I was waiting for Nessie to wake up I was reading one of my books that I had.
By 7:30 A.M. Nessie woke up. Edward was still hunting with Emmett and Jasper. I grabbed Nessie out of her bed and we went to the house. Rosalie was playing the piano when we came to the house. She was the second person that knew how to play the piano.
Alice was sitting on the floor next Esme looking thru some pictures. She looked up and smiled at me when we came into the room. I smiled back at her and Esme.
Nessie still doesn't like talking out loud sometimes so she put her hand on my neck. She wanted down so she could go play with her Aunty Rose. I put her down and I watched her walk over to Rosalie.
I stood there about 5 minutes until my phone vibrated in my pocket. I looked at the number. It was Seth.
“Hi Seth, what's wrong.” I said. Alice looked up at me when I said that.
“Hi Bella. Have you heard from Jacob?” Seth asked.
“No, I have not. He left last night after my parents left.”
“Ummm..... Bella he's upstairs asleep.” Alice said.
“Oh thanks Alice.” I thanked her. “Seth Jake's upstairs asleep.”
“Oh okay, good. Tell him Sam wants him for something, okay.”
“Sure Seth.”
“Bye.”
I hung up the phone. And went over to where Esme and Alice was.
“He did leave for a little bit Bella, but he came back. So I told him he can go to the spare room and go to sleep. And speaking of spare rooms Bella, I was talking to Emmett, Rosalie, and Esme about Edward's old room. I was thinking about adding some more room in there and a bed for Renesmee to sleep in there since she is getting bigger and I bet she is getting tired of that baby bed.” Alice said.
I nodded my head and looked at the pictures that were in the table. I heard Nessie get up and walked up the steps. I didn't say anything to her. I knew where she was going and I knew what she waned. She wanted to lay down with Jacob, so I let her.
“So, why are you going thru all the pictures for?” I murmured to Alice and Esme.
Rosalie was the one that spoke. “Your mother wants photos of everything from the wedding to now. Photos of you and Edward dancing, you and Emmett dancing which was a little funny.” she giggled.
“Yea, sure was.” Alice said.
Rosalie continued. “Edward biting the garnet off of you.” she giggled again. That was embarrassing having Edward do that in front of my family but it was what he wanted. “Ummm.... you and Edward feeding cake into each others mouth. Then the pictures of Renesmee with everyone.”
“Here's one of Renesmee and Zafrina and Renesmee and Carmen.” Alice said.
“I like those of them.” I murmured. “So, Renee wants you to make copy's of them.”
“Yea pretty much.”
“Oh, here Bella. You got some mail.” Esme said. She handed me my mail.
I took my mail and there was a letter from Aro and one from Zafrina. I hissed when I seen Aro's name. I opened it and read it.
Dear Bella,
'I am so sorry about me trying to kill your poor daughter. So please forgive me. I will be visiting you and your family in about a year or two to see how your little girl is doing and please tell your mate, Edward, my friend, that I'm sorry also.'
Yours Truly,
Aro
I hissed again and I dug my fingers into the table. Then got up and I walked into the kitchen and hit well punched the wall and put a hole in the wall too. Edward came into the door from the garage, at the same time that I punched the wall.
“Bella” he hissed. “What's the matter my love?”
Emmett and Jasper flew in after they heard me punched the wall and Edward hissed. If I were human I know I would have broke my hand.
“What the hell was that?” Emmett asked. “What's the matter?” Jasper said at the same time.
I was surprised that Jacob didn't come downstairs from what I did. But two or three seconds later, he came running down.
“What happen. What the hell was that?” he asked the same thing what Emmett and Jasper asked.
I was so mad, I couldn't speak. Rosalie got up from the piano and walked over to the table and read it out loud.
“Dear Bella, I am so sorry about me trying to kill your poor daughter. So please forgive me. I will be visiting you and your family in about a year or two to see how your little girl is doing and please tell your mate, Edward, my friend, that I'm sorry. Yours truly, Aro.” Rosalie hissed Aro's name just like I did.
Nessie came downstairs. “Mommy!” she was crying. “Mommy, please don't be upset.”
“Honey, mommy will be okay. Don't worry.” I heard Esme murmured to her.
“Why? That's all I want to know?” I hissed. “Why!?”
“I don't know, Bella. But I don't think it's Aro's idea.” Edward said.
“Then who?” Jake and Emmett said.
“Who else wanted to kill Nessie.” Rosalie said. “Or her to die I should say.”
I hissed when she said that. Edward put his hands on my shoulder to turn me around to look at my eyes to clam me down but when I didn't look up he let go of me. Like he could have read my mind. Maybe he did because when I get mad or real shitty I should say my shield comes out so he might have read my head. That is the only time he can read my thoughts.
“Caius.” Alice murmured.
“Well, we don't need to worry now. We have plenty of time. He did say a year or two.” Emmett said.
That's when it hit me. I turned around and started going off on him. “So, that doesn't matter Emmett, they are still coming after my little girl. I don't want them near her.” I flew away from Edward and went to Esme and Renesmee. I put my arms out to grab Renesmee from Esme. Esme gave Renesmee to me. “They have no damn right to be around her or here Emmett.”
Jasper flew to me and put his hands on my shoulders and spoke. I wish he hadn't put his hands on me right now because I was shitty. “Bella, clam down. Emmett is right.” Emmett smiled. “So, are you Bella.” Jasper turned his head and looked at Emmett. He's smile went away. “But, I agree with both of you. Emmett don't get Bella upset anymore than she is. Bell just clam down. Renesmee will be safe. No one and I mean no one will take or hurt her. They will have to get thru a lot of people. All of us, Jacob and the pack, Zafrina, Carmen, Kate, and the others. There is enough of us. If I didn't love you or Renesmee or even my family, Bella, I would let them get to her.”
He was right. And after all what he said clam me down. All my worries were gone for now. I turn to Emmett.
“Emmett, I'm sorry.” I said.
Emmett walked over to me. “I am too. No one is gonna get or hurt my little niece.” he smiled and Renesmee turned her body and reached over to him. I gave her a big hug and handed her to him.
“Thank, for waking me up. I was sleeping good.” Jake teased.
“Sorry, Jake. And oh Seth called. Sam wanted you for something. He didn't say what he needed you for.”
“Oh, I do. Me and my sister, Rachel, got into it.” Jake reply.
“For what?” I asked.
“Oh, because of me being here so much and I brought up Paul eating all our food.” Jake laughed at that. “And my dad bitched us out well mostly her. He understands me being here. Then when after that was over, I took off and ended up here falling asleep. So he might have told Sam about it, or told him to tell me come home for something, I don't know.”
“Well, go home.” I said. While me and Jake w
