AN: This is just a bunch of stories about Edward and Renesmee, taking place before her birth to whenever. All EPOV. I got this idea while watching Uptown Girls and hearing that Daddy's Little Girl song at the end. So cute!!!

Chapter 1: Thoughts

Ugh. Jacob and Rosalie were arguing again. How many times does that dog have to say a stupid blonde joke? One more time and he might actually get hurt. And as much as I would want that, I can't let that happen. He has been nothing but helpful through this whole ordeal. Not to mention that would hurt Bella.

Bella.

I look over to my side to see my beautiful wife. Oh how amazing it is to say that. But, she just seems so weak. Even all the blood she has consumed has not brought her back to complete health. This fetus, this monster, this thing is still going to kill her.

Amongst my wallowing I thought I heard a voice in the background. I'm not sure if it was even words, but it definitely was something. And it almost sounded like Bella.

"Did you say something?" I stared at Bella and she stared right back.

"Me? I didn't say anything." Okay, now something is strange.

I moved onto my knees so I was looking directly into her eyes. "What are you thinking about right now?"

"Nothing. What's going on?" I wish I knew so I could tell her.

"What were you thinking about a minute ago?"

"Just… Esme's island. And feathers." I was too focused to chuckle or even notice her blush to respond. I wanted to hear that noise again but nothing happened.

I whispered to her, "Say something else."

"Like what? Edward, what's going on?"

There it was. I heard it very faintly. It still sounded as if it was coming from Bella. Not necessarily from her, but near her. Oh my, it couldn't be! I gently put my hands on Bella's stomach.

"The f," no I won't say fetus. It has thoughts. "It… the baby likes the sound of your voice."

It was absolutely silent, but then very quickly Bella shouted, "Holy crow, you can hear him!" Then she winced and I could tell the baby became upset. I moved my hand to the spot where it kicked.

"Shh." I murmured. "You startled it… him." In that moment, her eyes widened and became full of a wonder could that only belong to a mother.

She patted her stomach and said, "Sorry, baby."

I tilted my head towards her stomach. I wanted to hear more.

Apparently, so did Bella. "What's he thinking now?"

I listened hard and thankfully got a response. "It… he or she, is…" I paused and looked up into her gorgeous eyes. "He's happy."

I just couldn't believe it. I was hearing our baby and it was happy! Bella suddenly had tears streaming down her beautiful smiling face.

She started rubbing her belly soothingly. "Of course you're happy, pretty baby, of course you are! How could you not be, all safe and warm and loved? I love you so much, little EJ, of course you're happy." Wait, what?

"What did you call him?"

She blushed at me. "I sort of named him. I didn't think you would want… well, you know."

I tried to ignore that, so I asked again. "EJ?"

"Your father's name was Edward, too."

"Yes, it was. What…" I was interrupted by another sound from our baby. I couldn't believe it. "Hmm."

"What?"

"He likes my voice, too." I said with the biggest smile.

"Of course he does. You have the most beautiful voice in the universe. Who wouldn't love it?" God I love this woman.

"Do you have a backup plan?" I looked over and saw Rosalie staring at us. "What if he's a she?"

"I kicked a few things around. Playing with Renee and Esme. I was thinking… Ruh-nez-may."

Rosalie looked puzzled. "Ruhnezmay?"

"R-e-n-e-s-m-e-e. Too weird?"

"No, I like it. It's beautiful. And one of a kind, so that fits." I couldn't agree more. I checked Rosalie's mind to see if she was being truthful and thankfully she was.

Bella responded, "I still think he's an Edward."

I started ignoring them and tried to listen to the baby again.

"What? What's he thinking now?" I quickly looked at Bella and she was glowing.

I listened hard and heard three gasps as I laid my ear against her. "He loves you. He absolutely adores you."

I sat there with my Bella looking completely dazed. Our baby loves us and he wasn't even born yet!!

AN: Please review. If you have any ideas to this story, please feel free to write them.

I think my next chapter will be the birth.

I know Jacob was thinking some pretty nasty thoughts at this moment, but I thought it would ruin this cute father-daughter moment. Besides, I think Edward would have been too focused to hear Jacob.
