Not quite sure where this is going yet, please read and review. any ideas, let me know. this is my own idea and i haven't seen it anywhere else. this is only really a first draft, going to add in a lot more detail when i can. dedicated to God1801 for his ongoing support with this story.

I stood in Nessie's bedroom, looking down at her as she slept soundly in her bed. My baby, my Renesmee, she would be one tomorrow. How time has flown by. I was no longer worried about the speed in which Renesmee was growing, I could see it was slowing down and I had seen proof in Nahuel that it would eventually stop. At the moment she looked about three and a half, an age she should be starting nursery. I couldn't risk it though.

Edward and I had decided that when the time was right, we would begin to teach her at home. But her knowledge of everything was always shocking Edward and myself, she was already smarter then most ten year olds.

Renesmee's long, brown curls, down to her waist, spread across the bed and her eyes fluttered as she slept. I began humming her lullaby which Edward had composed not long after the incident with the Volturi. We never spoke of that incident, it had brought us all a lot of pain, but it had also gained us many friends. Many of these friends were coming to Renesmee's birthday party tomorrow, Charlie was coming first though, he would leave before they arrived. Charlie was good with ignoring all the unusual things that happened, but I still didn't feel comfortable about having him in a house full of vampires, who were not vegetarian.

I heard footsteps in the hall as Edward approached Renesmee's bedroom. I turned slightly to see him walk in, his beauty shining through as ever. He came over to me and put an arm round my waist as we both turned to look at our little girl. I leaned my head against his shoulder and sighed.

"What's the matter?" Edward asked.

"Nothing, everything is perfect." I replied, smiling.

"then why the sigh?"

"im happy that she is growing up, but I wish I could keep her this small forever, I wish she would be my baby forever."

"I feel the same, but she will always be our special little girl."

I smiled up at Edward and he smiled back before leaning in to kiss me. The sweet aroma of his skin sent shivers through my body. We both kissed Renesmee on the forehead before making our way to the bedroom.

A king sized bed awaited us, it was not the original one, or the second one, or even the third one, but the fourth one that had been here since we moved in. The others had all been destroyed by accident. Emmett had enjoyed embarrassing me with that fact.

Edward lifted me up and threw me onto the bed, I could hear some of the springs brake as the bed took in the full impact of my hard body. Laughing, Edward climbed on top of me, starting to kiss me, his tongue tracing the outline of my lips. His kisses began to move down, tracing my jaw line, then moving down to my neck. If my heart were still beating it would have sped up incredibly.

All of a sudden I heard a noise, Edward heard it too. We both ran into Renesmee's room, a smell was lingering in the air. Someone had been here, someone I hadn't met before, a vampire.

Renesmee was still fast asleep, in the same position as when we had left her. Her beautiful brown locks still spread across the bed. I could hear the beat of her little heart, like a clock ticking, I knew she was okay but it didn't stop the anger that spread through me. Someone was had been in here with my little girl without me knowing. My fists began to clench and I took a protective stance in front of my daughter. Since being a newborn I had had impeccable control over my emotions, but sometimes I slipped, I acted like a true newborn and with me not even being a year old yet, I still didn't always have complete control. I could feel myself slipping.

"Bella, its okay, take her to the house, find out if Alice has seen anything." Edward said to me, stroking my hair. He could sense my worry and anger and was trying to calm me down.

"Okay, where are you going?" I asked.

"Im going to run around the area, check Charlie and see if I can track down who was here." He replied, and ended it with a kiss on the forehead. I could sense his anguish too.

"Okay, be careful, want me to send Emmett to join you?"

"Yes please,"

Edward kissed Renesmee on the cheek as I scooped her up.

"Oh, Bella," Edward said as I went to leave.

"Yes Edward,"

"Ring Jacob, I cant be doing with the ear ache if you don't,"

Without another word I ran with Renesmee to the house, we were halfway there when she woke up confused. She didn't say a word though, just flung her arms around my neck and hugged me.

Usually when I ran through the woods to the family house, I took in the surroundings, the smell of the elk in the distance, the fish swimming in the river, and the breeze that brought with it the smell of so many different parts of the forest, the rose bushes swaying in the wind and the little violets.

As I approached the house everyone was outside, Carlisle was at the front, with Esme at his side. To the right of him was my best friend and my sister, Alice, with Jasper. To the left of Carlisle was Rosalie, my other sister, we had not always seen eye to eye but since I was pregnant, we had gotten close. She loved Renesmee and would always keep her safe, I trusted her. Rosalie was holding hands with Emmett.

"Bella, Alice said you were on your way, where's Edward? Is he okay?" Carlisle asked as I came to a stop.

"There was someone in our home, in Renesmee's room, we don't know who it was. A vampire definitely. Edward is trying to track who it was, Emmett please could you join him. He said he was going to check Charlie was okay before going to track the intruder." I explained.

"they might have just been intrigued by the amount of noise you two were making," Emmett smirked. I didn't get chance to reply because Rosalie elbowed him in the ribs before he ran off in the direction Edward had gone.

"Is Nessie okay?" Rose asked.

"Yeah, she is fine, can you put her to bed upstairs please rose?" I asked

"Of course," she replied as I kissed Renesmee on the cheek and handed her over.

"I love you baby girl," I said to Renesmee.

"I love you too mommy," she replied with a yawn.

Rose ran into the house and up the stairs, I knew she would keep my little girl safe.

The others walked into the house and I followed behind, pulling my phone out of my pocket. I dialled Jacobs number and the phone began to ring, I looked at my watch, 1:15 am. I hated waking Jake up when he got so little sleep anyway, but it was what I had to do, he would be mortified if I didn't ring him when it was something to do with Renesmee.

"Hello," Jacob said sleepily.

"Jake, its Bella, can you come to the family house. Someone's been in Renesmee's_" I didn't get chance to finish.

"On my way," he interrupted before hanging up.

Within two minutes Jacob walked out of the tree's into full view, wearing nothing but jogging bottoms.

"Where is she?" Jacob asked.
