Chapter 1: Me, my family, and my world.

Edwards POV

I lay there on the couch thinking to myself. I wonder what life would be if Bella left… As I pondered that, Alice walked into the door. "Welcome home, Alice," I stated.

"Thanks, but no. Don't welcome me when I might kill you," she growled.

"What are you talking about?"

"I saw what might happen if you follow through on what you are thinking."

"I was thinking if Bella left. I know what it is like without her. Hell."

"You're damn right it is! Because I will be the one making your life Hell. So I am telling you right now, Edward Cullen, if you ever think of that again and make me see that Hell, I will tear you to shreds and burn the pieces," Alice threatened. Of all the times for Jasper to be hunting, it had to be when his girl was threatening me. He must have acquired some of her abilities… I almost wish I could believe that.

"…So what did you do today, my darling sister?" I asked. I wanted to get off the topic even though I did not want to hear Alice rant on about all the things she bought Bella, Nessie, and herself.

"Well, if you must know, I bought Bella some beautiful outfits that I believe you'll absolutely love! I bought Nessie the cutest outfit in the world! I had a hard time finding something this cute for an eleven-year-old. She is just growing up so fast! …Literally!" Alice began to laugh. I was happy. Now she was on good terms with me, I could tune her out and think to myself.

Bella was out in the cottage with Nessie. Alice was right; Nessie really was growing up fast! She's expected to be done growing up in two months. Bella is terrified of that happening. I give the blame for that to the dog. I keep on telling Bella, "Hey, at least she has a pet for life! We don't have to brush it, clean it, play with it, or any of the other stuff he never does!" She always gets a good laugh out of that.

After Alice was done, or "He's not even listening! Fine! I'll stop!" (I like to listen to how Alice's mind takes annoyance), I went back to the amazing cottage Esme designed for my family. Bella was upstairs in Nessie's room. They were dancing to a few songs from Nessie's ipod. I believe the song was "Just Dance" by Lady Gaga. Pop. Of course. You take classic and classic, and yet we get pop. I came in and Bella's face glowed with happiness.

"Hi, Dad!" Nessie ran up to me and hugged me. She touched my face and showed me what a great time she was having with her mother.

I laughed. "I'm glad you're having fun, darling," I said. She liked to show clips of her experiences instead of talking about them. Either way, I was so proud of her. I had a best woman in the world as a wife and the best girl in the world for a daughter.

I came over and kissed Bella gently, "And how are you today, Love?"

"I've been having tons of fun with Renesmee," She turned and winked at our beautiful daughter, "and I have missed you!" She kissed me again.

"Dad! Dad! Guess what? Jake's coming over soon! He said that we can play games and go running after! Isn't it great?" Nessie said to me.

"That's wonderful sweetie!" I replied.

"So while I'm gone, what are you and mom going to do?"

I looked at Bella and said, "Just have a nice quiet day. Maybe watch movies. How does that sound, Bella?"

"Absolutely perfect," She smiled. There was a knock on the door.

"Hey! You three up there! It's not nice to leave the dog outside all day!" Jacob yelled. Nessie squealed.

"Yes! Jake's here! Bye mom, bye dad, love you two!" She gave us both a kiss on the cheek and ran out to meet with Jacob. Bella and I began to think of what movie we would watch.
