Pride
(bella; breaking dawn)
My mother's cheek were wet with tears as she smiled down at me, her eyes shining with pride, her lips trembling with barely controlled sobs.
"Oh, my darling. I'm so proud of you."
I raised my eyebrows, slightly surprised.
"You wouldn't rather be boiling live puppies right now?"
"Rather than watch my beautiful daughter walk down the aisle with the man of her dreams? No, I suppose not."
I grinned at her, and she smiled back. Placing her hands on my shoulders, she looked me square in the eye, and said:
"You know, my Bella, if you ever need anything I'm here. It's always been you taking care of me. It's time for a change."
"Mom," I whispered, a little ashamed. "I'll be okay. Don't worry, I'm ready for this."
I was ready for a lot more than I let on, but Renee smiled anyways, and squeezed my shoulders once more, before Alice rushed her from the room.
