Daddy Edward
Author's Note
I wished there was some more Daddy/Daughter moments in the book. Hopefully in the movie though.

Her thoughts were peaceful. But mine weren't. They were filled with worry. It was only just a few short hours ago when her mother started to change. When I changed her. My wife, my world, my Bella. Just then I heard Renesmee's breathing change, meaning she going to wake. I walked over to the basinet where she lay. I looked at the beautiful creature staring at me with the same chocolate brown eyes that were the features I feared missing once Bella would become a newborn.
I picked up my daughter and slowly rocked her in my arms. She had my face but Bella's eyes. When I was a human and at the age of courtship I had always wondered what my first child would look like. I had always wanted a girl. A sweet little princess that would be the exact image of her mother and me.
But when I was changed my Carlisle over 90 years ago I soon came to realize that that wasn't possible. There I was holding my baby girl in arms. Proving myself wrong. "Hi sweetie," I said to her as she grabbed my finger.
I once considered myself a monster. And that I was forced to suffer eternal damnation. Then I met Bella and she became my world. I still considered myself a monster. When James attacked Bella, about a year ago when a simple party turned into a disastrous night, and but only a month ago when I had bruised her body.
Looking at Renesmee changed all that though. I was a father to a sweet, beautiful little girl. I no longer saw myself as a monster that hated everything he did. For I didn't see my precious child as something I hated. I did hate myself for hating my baby girl. But then I heard her thoughts.
"Hello?" I heard her think. I had originally thought it was Bella or Rose. But then I heard her think "I like the sound of Momma's voice." I remembered how I put my hands on Bella's pregnant stomach and how I felt amazed when I heard, "I'm happy" and "I like your voice too Daddy."
Daddy. Even though it was only her thoughts being called Daddy made want to cry tears of happiness. I wish I did in fact as Bella did. I then looked back at Renesmee. "Did you know that Momma thought you were a boy? She was going to name you EJ." She looked at me with those eyes and I knew that she would be Daddy's Little Princess. I then remembered her birth some more.
I then put my face down to the bulge. My teeth bit into Bella. I put my hands in to grab what Bella thought was going to be our son but instead our daughter. I looked at my infant daughter with astonishment. Curly bronze hair and chocolate eyes.
It had pained me to remove Renesmee from Bella's arms. I knew that all she wanted was to hold her and have the feeling of accomplishment that went with having a baby.
"Throw the baby out the window!" That monster said, while Renesmee was still in my arms. "Take the baby." I had said to Rosalie who now had control over herself. It took all my strength not to attack the dag that had wanted to throw my little princess out the window like some sort of spider that someone would find and then let go in a humane way.
Coming back from my thoughts I looked at my angel. Just then Esme walked in to my old bedroom where I was with her. "Here," she said to me as she handed me a bottle of nasty smelling white goop. "Carlisle thinks it best that you try to raise her to be human as much as possible." I then grabbed the bottle while still carefully holding my baby. "Thank you."
"You know Bella will be ok. Alice has seen it." I looked at my mother and told her what I was afraid of. "But Renesmee has blood in her body and Bella will be unstable. I'm afraid that if she sees her that the newborn in her will come out."
"That's why we have Jasper. You know he'll keep Bella under control." She then left me alone with my daughter. I put the bottle to her mouth and she refused. "I know that the smell is repulsive but please, for me? For Momma?"
She then tried to drink the baby formula but looked like she was going to be ill. Quickly I pulled the bottle away and she started to cry. "It's ok honey. Daddy won't let you drink that nasty stuff. How about this? I'll get the blood of a delicious mountain lion. Those are my favorite. I hope they will be too."
I really appreciated this time. But was looking forward to the time that Bella would be with us and we could be the one thing I had always wanted of my own. A family.
