My Girl
"Daddy!" Renesmee squealed. She giggled and her curls twirled around her in a fiery blaze. I scooped her up in my arms and she snuggled into my chest.
"I said it's time for bed an hour ago, little princess," I smiled at my girl.
"Uncle Emmett said that I can get you to do anything I want because you're wrapped around my little finger," She smiled devilishly at me.
"Uncle Emmett should learn when to shut his mouth," I breathed through clenched teeth. I turned towards his spot on the couch where he was trying to casually blend in.
Renesmee, upon seeing my murderous glare on her favorite uncle hopped up. "Come on Dad." She sighed exasperatedly, grabbing my hand and pulling with all her might. "You're the one that just said it was time for bed." She kissed every one good night and returned to my side, looking up at me with her big brown eyes. "I want to go back to the cottage tonight." I knew she wouldn't admit it, but she wanted her Teddy Bear, Booboo. Jacob had given it to her on her first official birthday. He had left about a week ago to visit his sister in Hawaii. It was killing her and she missed him terribly. I couldn't wait until he was back, just so I wouldn't have to see my girl stressed out like this anymore.
Bella picked her up and we both headed in the direction of the cottage. She kissed the top of her head and set her down on her own tiny feet, "Go get ready for bed." She skipped off towards her bedroom humming some song, which I'm sure she heard from Jacob.
I turned towards Bella and gave her a peck on the lips, "I'll go put her to bed." She nodded gratefully and retreated to our bedroom.
I walked down our little hallway and softly knocked on her door. "Come in," she sang out. I opened the door to her light pink bedroom. My girl was sitting in the middle of her bed brushing out her bronze hair. I walked to her and grabbed the brush from her tiny fingers and set it on her dresser. She scrambled to get under her covers, and I chuckled quickly helping her, then tucking her under her comforter. "Goodnight, love."
"Goodnight, Daddy," She whispered. "Daddy?" She asked as I was about to close her door. "I love you."
"I love you too, my girl." I whispered back.
