Welcome to my new story! Well, this story has been going around in my head for months now. R&R after this chapter please!
Disclaimer: Not Twilight, just the idea, people.
"Momma! How do I look?" My daughter Renesmee asked, dancing around in her little scarlet velvet dress.
"Fabulous, as always. Why are you dressed up? I'm supposed to be the one dressed up, little lady!" I replied.
"Momma," she started, Alice's infamous pouty lip appearing on Nessie's lips as Alice taught her that and Nessie has been using it to her advantage. "Can I puh-lease come? Please please please please?"
I shook my head. "Not a chance, Little Ness. You're four. The Academy Awards is very important for Momma's career. I am nominated for my first movie for the Best Actress award and the movie for Pest Picture. You can watch me on TV later on."
Nessie's face fell and she was about to burst into tears. I've seen myself cry so many times that I didn't need my daughter to cry. If she cries, I'll be watching her eyes— my eyes— water. I sighed. "Fine. Stay near me. Don't talk to strangers."
Nessie's glistening smile appeared. "Thank you Momma! I love you!"
"Momma loves you too, Nessie. Now can you please go to your room? I need to help your mother into her dress." Alice said, standing at the doorway. Nessie gave me a peck on the cheek and ran out of the room. "Today is the Academy Awards! Happy?"
"Barely," I gulped.
"Come on, Bella! Cheer up! First two nominations for your first movie in one night! You're an amazing mother, supermodel, and best friend! What have you got to lose?"
"Edward," I muttered. Edward broke up with me five years ago, not knowing I was pregnant with Nessie. I decided to keep her a secret from him. I haven't seen him since then, and to the media, they thought Renesmee was just an adopted child. But the mystery to them was, why would I adopt at the age of twenty-one?
"Oh no, Missy. Don't you dare get started with the 'I lost Edward because I did something wrong' crap. It's his loss. Now, do you wanna wear our dress or what?"
I laughed as I nodded. Alice made me wear on a black chiffon goddess dress and slipped on gold and silver cuffs on my wrists with a matching necklace. I wore a pair of white strapped heels and Alice did my hair and makeup. I didn't need a stylist. I had her. The best person I could ever think of to help me with this.
"I need to change now, Bella. I'm going to see my boyfriend in the limo soon! Head up high, show no weakness." Alice advised, then walked off, humming happily to herself. I checked on Nessie, who was twirling in her dress. She reminded me of her father. She has Edward's beautiful bronze hair color and his facial features. She's got his charms too.
She stopped and turned to face me. "What's wrong?"
"Huh? Nothing's wrong. You just grow up so fast, that's all. Renesmee," I started, "would you look for your father when you're older?"
She cocked one eyebrow. "Momma, no! I have you, why would I want to find Daddy?"
I heaved a silent sigh of relief. "I'm just curious. Come now, I think our limousine's here." I told her as I bent down. She ran into my arms and I picked her up, walking down the spiral stairs and out of the house. Alice was still inside, but she could lock up the place. The driver opened the door and greeted us as we entered.
When we arrived, Nessie was jumping up and down her seat. I laughed at the sight and held her hand as we got out of the limo. Celebrities were scattered around the red carpet and Nessie looked up at me, looking ready to pounce on every celebrity there was here and ask for their autographs. I shook my head but she still smiled brightly.
We would stop and answer a few questions and pose for the camera on our way into the venue. A few well-known actors and actresses would come up to us and greet Nessie, which made her day. Seeing her unfazed in front of the camera reminded me of Edward too. She got that trait from him. For my first time in front of the camera, I was too timid, so she couldn't have gotten it from me. After a few times in front of the camera, I was so used to it that it felt like my second nature.
Sitting through the whole ceremony was quite boring, but I sat at attention when my name was suddenly called out. "What?" I said.
"You won!" Alice shout-whispered. "You won for the Best Actress award! Congratulations! Now get your a— I mean butt up on stage!"
I rolled my eyes at her for almost cursing and brought Nessie up on stage with me. I graciously accepted my award and she took it from my hand. I said my speech while carrying her in my left hand. I managed to thank everyone by their names and walked out by the backstage. Nessie played with my award and handed it to me.
"Congratulations, Momma!" She hugged me tightly. "I love you!"
"I love you too, baby girl. Should we go back to your Aunt Alice & Uncle Jazz. What do you say?" I said. She nodded as she pulled back. We got back to our seats and my new movie didn't win, but another did, which made me freak out.
Edward was in that movie, and he was up on stage. "Alice?" I whispered to her.
She saw my body language and her face softened. "I didn't realize he was going to be here."
"What are we going to do about Renesmee? I just brought her up on stage. He's gonna freak if he finds out she's his."
She sighed. "Don't say anything. Just... keep her close. Do you want me to bring her home?"
I shook my head. "Nessie will know that something's wrong if you bring her home without me. I'll just bring her to the after party."
"Are you sure you want to do this?" She asked.
"Yes, Alice. I can take care of the situation myself." I assured her.
At the after party, Nessie always stood close by me. I didn't need to worry about her running away. I always knew she was beside me because she kept tugging my dress. But suddenly I didn't feel her tug on my dress. I looked down. "Nessie?" I said. She didn't appear. "Renesmee!" I panicked. Where was my Nessie? I looked around. She wasn't near. She was gone.
