PREFACE

I had everything I ever wanted in life, and more. I had a wonderful family, a loving husband that made up my entire existence and the most adorable little daughter. So far so good, right? Just when I thought we were indestructible... Even immortals can be destroyed by something the world is not prepared for. We all sat in the large room, waiting for the news that would withdraw us from our embrace. Ancestors and generations held hands and whispered what might be their last words. I picked up my cellphone and clicked the redial button. 'Connection Failed' it said, I had no way of telling my mother I loved her before it was too late...

CHAPTER 1. ONE YEAR LATER.

I had to enroll Renesmee in to school by the time she barely reached a year and a half. As the days flew past, and weeks went by Renesmee grew and developed through every new season and by the time she reached two she had reached the average height of a five year old with a couple of years more intelligence to her advantage. Edward and I grew worried about how she would react around children in the same life stage as her, or how they would understand why she slightly glittered at recess. Alice soon assured us that everything would be fine and that she would fit right in.

Jacob came by everyday of course and sometimes picked Nessie up from school. I had just dropped Nessie of at kindergarten, turning a lot of heads on my way there. Edward had did it again. He had bought me a new car that got me noticed everywhere I went. With an amazing horsepower and shiny, designer alloy wheels my new 2011 Chevrolet Volt was an unbelievable eye sore for the town of Forks. People greeted me in the street complimenting my car, even offering to wash it or simply park it the garage for me. I zoomed home driving at speed of 120mph, I was getting used to driving fast and well over the speed limit. Partly due to the fact that running was remarkably as fast and also every time Nessie was in the car with me she would yell 'faster, faster!'

When I finally reached the house I parked my vehicle and walked into the Cullen household. Edward and I wanted to spend as much time as we possibly could with our family so our routine was to drop Nessie off at school, spend some time with our family hunting or just hanging out, take Nessie out for a walk or on a day trip then when the sun set we would head back to our cottage were we would spend the rest of the night, vigilant. As I walked up the stairs Edward walked towards me, kissing me passionately and then securing his arm around my waist. I caught a glimpse of my reflection in the mirror and smiled feebly. You would think- expect me, to be used to my new face and body by now but I wasn't. Every time I looked in the mirror I was as surprised as never and also very grateful. Nor was I used to my beloved Edward. After everything we had been through over the past couple of years we were still together and as strong as ever.

Rosalie welcomed me home before nestling on Emmett's lap. It was surprising how close we had grown over the last year. Our relationship was spontaneously overwhelming. Alice gestured to the sofa beside her and Edward pulled me along and placed me right beside him, opposite Rosalie and Emmett and next to Alice and Jasper.

"Where's Carlisle and Esme? There were here before I left".

Were they hunting? I didn't hear them in the forest or the surrounding woods were they usually hunted.

"They went on another honeymoon 's their 150th anniversary tomorrow", Alice filled me in.

Wow. 150 years together? Edward and I haven't even reached a decade together yet. I wondered what the far future would hold for Edward, my daughter and myself. Could life get any more instantaneously gratifying? Edward interrupted my thoughts

"Have you been to visit Charlie recently?"

Actually I hadn't. Come to think of it I hadn't visited my dad in over a month. He hadn't called or anything.

"Um, No. I should visit him this weekend. Would you like to come?"

It was Emmett who then answered me "Actually, do you mind if me and Jazz steal your husband for the weekend? We kind of have something planned".

I looked at Edward for a response but he was clearly just as puzzled as I was. He turned to Jasper

"Should I be scared?" He gulped sarcastically.

"Hmmmm. That depends on how you look at it", Jasper seemed thoughtful in his answer yet subconsciously otherwise engaged.

I turned to Alice who stared at her loving Jasper with a look that made her seem almost unattracted to him. She must be hiding something from us. She had obviously seen something and was concentrating so hard on not letting Edward see her thoughts.

"Well Bella and I should be getting back to the cottage, we have lots to discuss" Edward suddenly blurted out.

This was unexpected, this was not our usual charade. My eyebrows pulled together. I looked at Rosalie who encouraged me with a nod.

"Alright. Um, I'll see you all later". I was ever so curious as to what we 'needed to discuss'.

Once we stepped out onto the porch Edward grabbed my hand and we stalked through the forest until we reached our perfect little cottage. When we entered our house Edward proceeded toward our room and so I followed. "You'd better sit down" he said calmly. I did as he asked afraid of what he was about to say.

"Edward, what's going on?" I shrieked.

He now couldn't hide the terror in his eyes. He looked like he might just explode. He thought about how he should word it for sometime before actually speaking.

"Alice, she um.. she saw something".

The first thought came to mind was the Volturi. They had come back to take my little girl, or to force Edward, Alice or possibly even me to join them, or else.

"What did she see? Was it..." I couldn't even say their name, I couldn't bare to think of it. There had to be an alternative, there just had to be.

Just then my phone rang. Edward groaned impatiently as I reached into my purse to answer it.

"Hello?" my voice chimed.

"Hi. This is Mrs Kennedy, Renesmee's teacher".

"Oh, is everything alright?" I interrupted her with my motherly concern.

She answered quickly "Yes, um no. Well Renesmee isn't feeling well and she fainted a while ago but shes come around now but we insist on letting her go home. Do you think you could come collect her?"

Wow. I just realized that Nessie had never been ill before, which was rather strange all things considered.

"Yeah, sure. I'll be right there".

I knew Edward had heard the whole conversation but I decided to fill him in regardless.

"Nessie's sick. I have to go pick her up".

I walked toward the door at my usual pace, I reached for the door knob when Edward suddenly reached out and swung the door open. I looked up at him, and I knew something was wrong. He spoke silently though I could hear him clearly.

"We cannot spend any second of time apart from now on". He paused and inhaled deeply.

I thought that was what we were doing anyway. I was barely ever away from him, just when I dropped Nessie off at school but he came most of the time. Or the occasional hunt he went on with his brothers would mean a few hours separate from each other. I could only watch him leave when Nessie was present, somehow with her there with me, it was as if Edward was never away from me. Even my cold heart reserved a special spot for Edward and even when I couldn't sleep, couldn't dream and my mind could not unearth my desire for him or provide my mind with mental images of him, I could always sit and stare at the family portrait we had done three months ago, that now hung adequately above the fire. As soon as I had assembled all these conclusions I turned to him and opened my mouth to speak he put his finger on my lips.

"There's no time to worry, love. We have to be prepared" he tried soothing me with this disorienting sentence.

"For what? Edward I don't.." I trailed off.

"For what's coming".he said through unmoving lips.
