Author's Note: I do not own Twilight

3rd Person POV

"Momma? Daddy?" Renesmee asked, coming home from her shopping trip with Aunt Alice.

"Yes, Nessie?" Bella responded.

"Can I get a pet?" Renesmee's soft brown eyes full of wonder.

Bella and Edward exchanged uneasy glances. They both knew how difficult it would be to care for a pet in their home. Before either one of them could answer, the ever-so-helpful Emmett pointed out, "Now why would you want a pet anyway? You've already got a dog; Jacob." Emmett laughed heartily at his own joke.

Renesmee arched an eyebrow at her uncle, then turned to her parents with pleading eyes. Edward sighed.

"Renesmee," he began gently, "you know how hard it would be to keep a pet here. It takes a lot of work to take care of one properly, and if you get too thirsty…" Edward trailed off.

Renesmee pouted. "But you know we have enough space, money, and time to keep a pet. And I'm getting better at controlling my thirst; we go hunting every week."

But Edward just shook his head, and Renesmee tried to bargain with him.

"What if we get a pet with bad-smelling blood, so none of us would get tempted by it? And we could get one that doesn't need to be cleaned too often? Hmm? What do you say, Daddy?"

Edward began to shake his head again when Emmett playfully slapped his arm.

"Aw, come on. Let the kid have it. I promise she won't eat it."

Renesmee smiled at her uncle, grateful for the support.

"You know," Bella added, "I never had a pet when I was little. This could be really fun for all of us." She smiled and winked at her daughter.

"Please Daddy? Please?" Emmett found himself begging along with Renesmee.

"Please Eddie? Please?"

Edward shot Emmett his infamous don't call me Eddie glare, receiving an eye roll from his huge brother.

"I suppose," Edward began, "we can all go to the pet store tomorrow. But I have to approve of the pet, alright?"

"YAY!!" cheered Renesmee and Emmett.

"Thank you, Daddy."

"Thank you Ed-Edward."

And they ran off, eagerly discussing the future Cullen family pet.

Hooray! Edward agrees! Any ideas on what the pet should be named? Review, please :]
