Bella heard a light tapping noise at the door of the cottage. Edward and Renesmee were in the back yard playing by the lake. The lake...it was their own personal Isle Esme, especially when the moon shone on the black waters late at night. She could hear her mother talking to Phil on the other side of the door, and told Edward she'd get it.
Opening the door with a smile as she moved aside motioning them to come in. "Mom, Phil...please come in." Bella gave a small wave and a smile to Alice as she stood in the distance. Alice had showed them the way. Renee and Phil entered and looked around like they were in a museum. Nessie came running in with a smile, Edward following behind. Bella was thrilled that her mother came back, she feared it may have been too much for her.
Renesmee hugged Renee and Phil like she'd known them for years. Bella smiled nervously as she looked to Edward. "Phil, would you mind coming with me...give the ladies a chance to chit chat." She mouthed "Thank you." As Phil nodded and followed. Renesmee giggled and shouted, "Wait for me!"
"So, mom...I'm glad you came back."

Renee had come to apologise for the way she had previously left. Looking around the cottage she couldn't believe that it belonged to Edward and Bella, not forgetting Nessie. "Bella, this is a wonderful little place that you have" she said with a smile. Renee was surprised by the reaction of Nessie, the hug was unexpected and yet Renee felt like it was to be cherished. "Hello sweetheart, she had said to Nessie, while she was hugging her".
"I'm glad that I came back too... there are things that we need to discuss" she nodded at Bella before taking a seat.

Bella took a breath and smiled, her throat caught ablaze by the flames. It was a little easier to control today than yesterday. "What is it mom?" She asked as she took a seat next to her mother. All she wanted was for Renee to be in her life, to try to be normal, but if they couldn't do it...they'd have to leave.
She could hear Edward explaining the different collections he had in another room as Nessie chimed in every now and then.

"Firstly I would like to say that I'm sorry I shouldn't have behaved that way...." Renee shyly smiled. I would like to be part of your life Bella... as you should know you are my daughter and I would try and do anything for you" Renee was beginning to well up but decided on keeping the tears back.
"Did you manage to have a think about coming to stay with me and Phil, darling"

"Mom...it's okay. I...know that it can be...difficult to take in. You don't have to apologize. Just....trust me?" She gave her mom a smile and extended her arms to hug her. Closing her eyes and basking in her mother's embrace as she smiled and it felt like home. It felt right.
As she pulled away and smiled, she listened to Renee's question. "Well, I'm sure we can come for a visit soon. We'd love to see you both more." Maybe she could have a normal relationship with her mother now, since she had her thirst somewhat under control. In a few months time, her eyes would be a golden color and she wouldn't have to wear those god awful contacts anymore. Explaining her eye color change might be difficult....

"We would love to spend more time with you too, especially Nessie. Like my own grand-daughter if I was to ever have grandchildren. Its quite nice that she was so welcoming today"
Renee was pushing for answers slowly testing Bella, she knows that her daughter is still hiding something. Renee was also glad that she had a cardigan on today, as it didn't make any difference when Bella had pulled her into the hug. She was thankful that they were getting to be on the same wavelength again. Renee had a big smile on her face.

"She's a very special little girl and in many ways....I see her as my own daughter." Bella looked down for a moment then looked back up. "It would be need to know, but we are....her parents." She dropped the bombshell but figured she'd let Renee assume whatever she wished. Maybe she'd take is as meaning parental figures, not biological parents.
As she faced her mother waiting for her to answer she felt like time had stood still for that moment.

Renee spoke to Bella with a soft tone "Bella, I get the feeling that Renesmee is part of you, the similarities are familiar to me .... but it's not possible for her to be yours. I mean she is at least 9 or 10 isn't she?" A slight smile on her face "She is a very special little girl, just like mine was"
Renee didn't really know what else to say... so she changed the subject and asked "What do you think Phil and Edward are talking about?"

All Bella could do was nod. "Need to know mom...Need to know..." Giving her a chuckle as she shook her head knowing Renee's mind was buzzing with ideas trying to decipher the clues. She'd make a great detective that's for sure.
"I'm not sure, how about we go find out." She said as she took her mom's hand and headed into the room the men were in. Feeling like a ton of bricks were gone from her shoulders all she wanted to do was focus on the visit. Let Renee get to know Nessie...go back to normal.
