"Bella......Bella?.......Hello?" Edward called out as his voice echoed into an eerie silence as all that filled the silence was the sound of his footsteps as he descended the stairwell to the lounge, beautifully decorated with a large Christmas tree. A warm and well loved family scene, something that you would see on TV. He chuckled at that thought when it came to Christmas, Esme would always excel in making the Christmas Holidays special for everyone she loved.
"Bella...Bella?" he called out again as he walked slowly into the kitchen, seeing a note on the kitchen counter signed by Bella.
Edward, gone hunting with everyone. Be back soon. I love you x
He grinned brightly at the note and folded it and stuffed it into his back pocket, the strong scent of Bella lingering around him. He had still not had the chance to speak with Renesmee yet nor had he seen her for a couple of days, it still upset Bella that they were no longer talking, especially over Jacob. Crossing the lounge to his piano where he found peace and solidarity in playing his music, his fingers tracing along the keys softly as he played his daughter's lullaby.

-she sighed as the house came into view, her ears barely picking up the sound of her father playing.... her lullaby. A smile crossed her face slowly as she sped up, jogging to the door and slipping inside, following the sound of the piano. He sat there, his fingers moving fluidly over the keys as the notes of the song he made for her resounded through the house.- Hi, Daddy. -she said softly as she walked forward and sat next to him, laying her head on his shoulder.- -she had been gone for a few days, trying to figure out what she wanted to do with herself: did she stay here with her family, with her Jake? Or did she go off on her own for a bit? Maybe she'd travel with Nahuel for a while, let him teach her about the world and show her places she had never seen before. Nessa lifted her head and looked at her father, feeling a bit of sadness as she did so; was this how he felt when he had to hear what Jake thought about her mom, or when she saw the looks that her mom had given him? She hadn't told anyone, but... she could see memories, of a sort. Not often at all, but with those she was closest to sometimes she would get glimpses, and a glimpse was what she had gotten: her mother, her Jake, standing on a snow covered mountain. Jake was shirtless and wearing a pair of shorts, her mom was wearing one of her flannel shirts. And they were locked in a kiss.-  -she wanted to be able to talk to her family about this, and knew that she shouldn't be afraid to... but she couldn't help it. She let out a sigh and lay her head back on her father's shoulder- |

His fingers continued to trace delicately along the keys of his piano, the soothing sound of the music flowing through him like a wave of calm. Music being the next way that he could express himself in so many ways, he found that he escape through his music, in the lullabies that he had written for Bella and for Renesmee. It was until he felt a presence and knowing that it was his daughter as she laid her head gently onto his shoulder, hearing her speak quietly as his fingers increased the pace on the piano, bring her lullaby to a sudden end.
Resting his head onto her own as he enjoyed the moment silence between them, words not being spoken, but their body language saying everything.
"Hello sweetheart....your mother and I have missed you" he whispered softly as he gently placed a kiss upon her head.

-she smiled softly and moved her body closer to his so that her side was touching his and her head was still on his shoulder- I missed you too, daddy. -daddy. Such a childish endearment for a father, but she still couldn't bring herself to call him anything different. Her father had been her life for so long, but now... she was thinking of moving on.-
How have you been? -she asked as she lifted her head and placed her hands on the piano, her fingers moving gracefully across the keys as music started to fill the air again-

Edward loved that no matter what, no matter how old she got or looked, she was still his little girl in every way. And nothing would change that. He listened too her as she took over playing the piano, the soft, sweet sound of the music filling the silence once again, finding the music soothing. Knowing that this was the time that they had to have a conversation.
"You know me sweetheart....Renesmee, we need to have a talk...about Bella and Jacob" he said in a soft whisper.
He knew that there was no soft way to approach this, things needed to be cleared up.

-at the words coming from his lips, her fingers faltered only for a split second but the beautiful music was ruined. She sighed, dropping her hands to her lap and looking at them- I figured this was coming. -cleared her throat and sat up straight, turning to look at him with a slightly raised brow-
What do you want to talk about regarding.... -she sighed- them.

"Sweetheart, Bella..your mother and Jacob happened a long time ago, before you were born...Your mother is very upset darling. You know I was never very fond of Jacob. You can ask me anything, and I will tell you the truth" he tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear, hoping that opening the floor to her would help.

-she sighed- I know that they were before I was born. I know that she is upset and I know that you don't like him. I just.... -she turned and met his gaze- I don't like it, daddy. At all. -her bottom lip quivered only a brief second before she pushed back any tears or sadness she felt- I don't want to be the one he chose because he HAD to. I want him to have chosen me because he wanted to. -she shrugged her shoulders and stared out the window behind him- I don't know what to do..... I... -she looked back to him and her voice got quiet- Maybe I should just go away for a while.

"Renesmee...Jacob chose you because he wanted you. He didn't choose you because he couldn't have Bella. I will be honest with you sweetheart, there was a time in my life that I didn't think I was good enough for your mother. I left your mother so that she could have a happy normal human life. Jacob was there for your mom when I wasn't. They have something between them that I couldn't understand and will never will understand. But they are friends, that is all sweetheart. Jacob loves you" is was then he heard her say about going away somewhere "You can't run from this sweetheart, you and your mother need to talk" he whispered.

-she laughed, shaking her head. He didn't understand. How would he?- It's not... that I don't want to talk to her. Its that I need to get away, from everything. To think. About... about Jake. I... he.... -she sighed again and stood quickly from where she sat- I don't even know what to do anymore, dad. I... -a tear slipped down her cheek- I'm so confused!
-she took a few deep breaths to calm herself, knowing exactly what happens when she loses her temper. She started to pace the room, finally coming to a stop in front of the window-

He stood from his seat and walked over towards the window as she stood with her back too him as she stared out of the window. He knew how confused she must have been, and true he felt the same when he found out about Bella and Jacob.
"I know this must be really confusing for you, but i can't stop you from leaving. I could phone Eleazar, maybe you could stay there with them for a while?" he asked, knowing that he would always know where she was.

-she took in his words. The Denali clan had always been family, ever since she was little. But did she want to go somewhere that people who knew her would be? Did she want to see people she knew, every day, and know that they would be relaying any messages to her parents? When she said she needed to get away, she meant.... she needed to get away. There was only one thing to do.-
-smiled at him and nodded her head- If you could do that, that would be great. I will talk to Jake tonight about it. -she wrapped her arms around him and kissed his cheek before laying her head on his shoulder. Sometimes, just as she always had thought, a girl just needed her daddy.-

"You know you are always welcome there, they would love having you there" he smiled as she embraced him in a tight hug, his arms wrapping around her to pull her close too him. He just hoped that in time Renesmee could learn to forgive Bella and put the past behind them where it belonged.
"I shall call them....And Renesmee....Everything will turn out fine..Trust me" he whispered as he kissed the top of her head "I love you sweetheart"

-she sighed and gave him a smile she didn't quite feel as she pulled away.- It always does. Love you too, daddy. -she let him go and turned to walk out of the room; she had some planning to do-
-first up... call a certain Mr. J. Jenks to get some IDs so she could leave. She hated that she was going to seemingly be betraying her parents, but she had to do this. She had to get away, even for a little while.-
