Mother/Daughter Moment

[Bella Cullen]

Bella's head rested on Edward's shoulder as they sat in silence awaiting their daughter to awake. The sun had rose and they had spent the night doing many things. He kissed her forehead before she sat up and turned to look over her shoulder at him. "I can't wait any longer...I want to give it to her today." He knew she meant the locket that she'd picked up in town the previous day.

Giving her a smile and nod as he said, "I think that's a lovely idea, sweetheart." Together they walked hand in hand to her bedroom, recently decorated in butterflies and pinks and purples. Edward stayed by the door frame watching as his wife went lay next to Renesmee on her bed. She kissed her forehead, the burn in her throat as she smelled her blood. Never could she fathom harming her child, as she fought back the venom, controlling her impulses. "Good morning Butterfly..."

[Nessa]

-she had been dreaming a nice dream, filled with happiness and worry free. Until the darkness crept in. Jacob had shifted into his wolf form and gently pushed her behind him to block her from the people in the distance.-

"You can't have her."

-she wanted to ask why he was so angry, but she couldn't speak. Pain. Her skin was burning, screams spilling from her mouth. She shot up from the bed, eyes wide as whimpers slipped past her lips and her heart started racing. Her eyes went to her mom's before she wrapped her arms around her and held her close.-

They're coming.

[Bella Cullen]

She felt Renesmee's arms fly around her neck as she looked at Edward who stood in the door frame, his jaw clenched, eyes narrowed. He gave her a pained look and she knew....she knew her daughter was fearing the same as she was. "Shhh...shhh it's okay." Holding her close to her chest as she felt the tremble of her body.

She laid her back down close to her, running her hand through her daughters hair as she spoke softly. "I'll...NEVER...let anyone hurt you. Ever"

[Nessa]

-she moved a little bit closer so that she was laying right next to her, calming almost immediately when she heard her mothers words and felt her hand run through her hair.-

I know.

-if there was one thing she knew, she trusted and understood, it was that her family wouldn't back down; they didn't give up. She was loved, tremendously. And they wouldn't let anything happen to her. She looked to her dad and smiled at him before patting the bed then looking back at her mom-

I love you. Both.

[Bella Cullen]

Edward smiled and walked over to the bed, sitting next to Renesmee, watching the moment between his family. Bella reached into her pocket as Renesmee sat up. Sitting next to her she handed her the locket. "This is from your daddy and I." She watched as she opened it and looked inside.

"It means 'More Than My Own Life'." She told her as she moved some of Nessie's long brown hair from her shoulder. Watching her reaction.

[Nessa]

Plus que ma propre vie -she said slowly, softly, letting each of the words roll off of her tongue more easily than they should for a child her age. She knew they were worried about how quickly she grew, but really there wasn't anything to worry about. It didn't matter if she told them that, though, because they would continue worrying about it. She moved one hand to grip her daddy's and one for her mama's, smiling up at them.-

Thank you. It's beautiful.

[Bella Cullen]

Her daughter, her beautiful butterfly...she was so much more wise and grown for her age. Only months old and she was as tall and portioned as a seven year old, and spoke like a teenager who received honor roll. Bella felt so proud that she loved it.

Looking at Edward as he kissed Renesmee's temple. "We should get going to the house, love...training." She knew she had more training to do, the Volturi would be here in a matter of days. She helped Renesmee put the locket around her neck and clasped it closed. "Let's get you dressed butterfly." She knew Alice didn't like to see her wear the same outfit twice.
