This is life after Breaking Dawn. Renesmee is now old enough to be with Jacob. The story is still from Bella's point of view and how her and Edward deal with new couple. Story starts with Bella and Edward having a conversation.
Chapter One- Confrontation and Acception.
"Edward, could you seriously trust anyone else with the most precious thing we have?" I questioned Edward as we strolled, vampire style, through the forest.
"No, I couldn't" he replied, defeat in his tone. "But, even though he loves Renesmee and, yes, I do trust him with her over anyone else. It's just, he's a werewolf and she's a vampire, well half.." he trailed into a long thought and I cut him off. My arm stretched out along his chest, my face blank and hard, staring into his perfect, golden eyes that were filled with confusion.
"Bella love, what is it ?". He asked, puzzled.
"I remember once, when I was human and I had a um, disagreement with Jake over the whole 'Vampire, Werewolf enemy' thing and I said I did not care, It did not matter to me Edward. And I still stand by that judgement. I thought you and Jake sorted out all your differences". He raised one finger to stop me but I continued.
"I know you have read his thoughts, and I know that you know how deep his feelings go, you seriously cannot disbelieve that he is going to bring harm to Renesmee can you? Can you question his love for her? Can you compete with the fact that if you take her away from him he will suffer and so will she? Just like me and you, Edward. You know this is the truth, and no matter how hard you want to believe it's not, it will always be true. There is nothing we can do to break their bond of love, just like you can't break ours."
His face was deep in thought as he processed what I had just said, given him my theory. There was no way he could question this once he had thought it through properly and thoroughly.
"Edward", I almost whispered. His thought trailed off and he looked at me, suspicious, no curious. "Look, I know you don't like the thought of Jacob and Renesmee but, I really think Jake could be good for her yanno".
He nodded in agreement. "Say something, tell me how your feeling". Within two breaths, his cold, hard, smooth lips were crushing against mine. He stopped suddenly. I hated when he did this, cut off my pleasure so quick, I wanted him and I needed him. But, unfortunately, we had bigger problems to worry about. We had our daughter to consider, to worry about. To be honest, I don't know what there is to worry about. I was going to trust Jake to take Renesmee from me and Edward when the Volturi came 7 years ago, I shudder just thinking about it. I was going to trust Jacob with my life, with my little nudger.
Why was it so different now it actually came to it, came to the fact I had to give up my daughter so that she could have a long, happy life with Jacob. I didn't want to ruin her happiness, I didn't want to hurt Jake; Again. I couldn't do this to Renesmee, I couldn't cause her any pain, what kind of mother would I be? Edward had to realise the emotional pain we would put our daughter through if we did not allow this.
Edward cut off my thoughts- "I think we should talk to Jacob and Renesmee. Sort this out with them. I can't bare for Renesmee to be unhappy. And she's old enough to make her own decisions now"- he looked like he was reassuring himself not me- "She's always been mature and she knows what's right and what's wrong." He sighed and then we turned back to go and meet Jacob and Renesmee at the Cullen threshold. This was going to be a tricky conversation.
"Jake, Renesmee", Edward said as we walked through the door of the Cullen house. He said it in a normal tone voice, but in a tone that they would still hear. Although if he whispered it they would have still heard. They walked down the grand staircase hand in hand, it reminded me of my wedding day. The sweet melody playing on the piano as I walked down those stairs, the love of my life, the light of my life, stood waiting for me. That's one of the human memories and can remember the clearest.
I could remember the scent of the many flowers which Alice had laid out, the sound of my heart beating fast, the way i felt about Edward, a love to strong to break. I did not want to take that feeling away from my daughter, did I? Could I take away her true happiness? I knew how strong the imprinting was i'd seen it with my own eyes, with Sam and Emily and Paul and Rachel and Jared and Kim, I'd seen how strongly they were connected emotionally and mentally and physically they were to these people. Could I, could Edward break that by disapproving? By saying no to the true love and true bonding that was so clear even a human could spot it? They were tied together in so many ways, i couldn't break this bond. It was unconditional love, there was no way it could be altered.
Jacob and Renesmee stood hand in hand in the doorway to large dining room with the long table, the same room in which i decided my fate; my fate to become a vampire. Will this be the same room which Renesmee's future is decided? Where she chooses her fate? This is the deciding point, this will change Renesmee's future: forever.
"Listen, I know you think that I don't approve of you two being together"- Edward almost stuttered- "but that is only because I have your best interest in mind, please do not be offended by this. I do trust you it's just.."
"You just what Edward? You don't trust me with her, you know that I wouldn't do anything to hurt her, you've obviously read my mind. Look Edward, I love Renesmee, just like you love Bella. Yanno Edward, you are so judgemental, you are not even giving me a chance." Jacob butted in. Edward raised one finger and silenced him.
"I am not disputing the fact that you two are in love Jacob. But Renesmee is not the right. Huh how can I put this.. Um.. creature no, being for you Jacob. You've got to understand that."
"Dad, look I know that me and Jake are different in so many ways but look at you and Mom. She was human when you first fell in love, you did very dangerous things that you probably shouldn't have but you did because you loved her." Renesmee pointed out. With that I couldn't argue, she was right. Me and Edward did do very, very dangerous things when I was still human but not one's i regret. I guess, it was her way of trying to explain her feelings, to explain it from an angle I didn't realised existed.
"Nessie, you have to see this from me and your father's point of view. We are only looking out for you, darling. I trust you and Jacob with all of my heart but i understand your father's point about the incompatibility and the difference in your um species and you need to understand this darling."
I needed her to understand what we meant, what we were trying to protect her from. I knew where Edward was coming from, he's a werewolf, she's a vampire but once upon a time, Edward was a vampire, Jacob was a werewolf and I was human and i loved them both all the same. It did not matter to me what they were, I loved them and I could see what Renesmee was saying that me and her father did it so that makes him somehow okay.
"Nessie"- Edward almost pleaded- "please you need to understand. Were not doing this to be horrible, were doing this to protect you." His golden eyes pleaded along with his words, Lord he was irresistible. Unfortunately, I had to contain myself. I needed this to be sorted out.
Renesmee's face grew angrier, I could see that this was hurting her, causing her pain. This is what I was trying to avoid, I could not sit back and watch her go through this. Edward's face turned into anguish, he knew we were hurting her and that hurt him. Everyone around me, everyone I loved was hurting and I couldn't stop it; couldn't prevent it.
"You have my blessing". Me and Edward spoke the words at the exact same time. Renesmee and Jacob looked at each other, a bunch of emotions running over their faces. Relief. Love. Attraction. Connection. A bond in which even the most powerful wizard could break. This is what Renesmee wanted; Jacob. And if that is what she wanted then that is what she'll get. I could not deprive her of the happiness that I had, that I gave up my soul for. This was her wish, and Edward and I had just granted it her.
