Okay, so first things first I'm REALLY excited about this fanfiction! I want to give a special shout out to my Panda, Anna DeLong (Check her out on facebook. Just let her know you're reading ). I would have never been able to write this story without her, so much love babe! I will be putting links up for the pictures on my profile so you know what I imagine things to look like. All the songs will be on my profile too. Love you all for reading! R&R!
POV: Edward Cullen
Renesmee had always slept through the night. She never had any nightmares, never was scared of thunderstorms, never even got up to go to the bathroom. That is, until the night of her 1st birthday. Bella and I were deep in a game of chess. Bella was having a wonderful time making jokes about how I couldn't get into her head to cheat.
Daddy? I heard her call in her head.
My head snapped up. "Nessie is awake," I said to Bella. We were at the side of her 'big girl' bed in seconds.
"Nessie, what's wrong?" Bella demanded worriedly
"Nothing" I answered for her, a grin on my face. "She wants to stay up late and play chess with us like a grown up." I almost laughed. Bella shook her head and smiled.
"Don't be in such a hurry to grow up, sweetheart. You'll be there soon enough."
Nessie sighed and looked at me will you sing to me?
"Of course darling" I said, scooping her up and settling into the rocking chair by the window.
"I'll be downstairs" Bella whispered, kissing me quickly and then turning to our daughter.
"Goodnight sweetheart. Try to get some sleep. We'll be right here when you wake up." Nessie nodded and Bella bent down to kiss her cheek.
/Your little hands wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light
To you, everything's funny
You got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have, honey
If you could stay like that
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple
I won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
No, no one will desert you
Just try to never grow up, never grow up
You're in the car on the way to the movies
And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off
At 14, there's just so much you can't do
And you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots
But don't make her drop you off around the block
Remember that she's always been there for you
And don't lose the way that you dance around
In your PJs getting ready for school
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple
No one's ever burned you
Nothing's ever left you scarred
And even though you want to
Just try to never grow up
Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
And all your mother's favorite songs
I hope you realize everything you have
will never ever be gone.../
I look down at Nessie, who is sound asleep. I let my mind wander to Alice's latest vision. Nessie's in college, The trees are changing colors and the sky is icy blue. She's sitting in an apartment, brushing her hair and singing to herself...
So here I am in my new apartment
In a big city, they just dropped me off
It's so much colder than I thought it would be
So I tuck myself in and turn my night light on
Wish I'd never grown up
I wish I'd never grown up
Oh, I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up
Could still be little
Oh, I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up
It could still be simple
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple
Won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
And even through to you want to
Please try to never grow up
Don't you ever grow up
(Never grow up)
Just never grow up
*Four years later*
POV: Renesmee
"Nessie, come on!" Nahuel called.
"Coming!" I yelled, running down the stairs. I grinned as I jumped into his arms "Hey you"
He chuckled "Hi."
I kissed him gently. "You ready?" I asked.
"As soon as you are"
"Then lets go!" I smileld, pulling him out the door.
"So where do you want to go?" he asked
"Can we go to Montana? Mom and Dad never take me hunting out of state…plus there's gotta be a ton of mountain lions!" I pleaded.
"Of Course! Anything for the birthday girl" He said sweetly. I beamed and grabbed the car keys out of my purse.
"Not so fast!" came a voice from behind us. I turned to face my Aunt Alice. "You seem to have forgotten our agreement Nessie. Remember? I promised your mother not to buy you anything unless you were with me! And since there is a party tonight and you have nothing to wear, that means shopping!" she squealed.
I whined. "but I'm thirsty Aunt Alice!"
She crossed her arms. "Tough. You can go tomorrow!"
I sighed. There was no way I was getting out of this. "You want to go shopping?" I asked Nauhel, trying to sound enthusiastic, but failing miserably.
"Ahhh, I think I'll pass on this one. You too have fun though."
I wrapped my arms around Nahuel, pouting, "I'll still see you tonight, right?"
"Of course! It's your 18th birthday party. I wouldn't miss it for the world" he said, leaning down to kiss me. "And maybe after we can have a celebration of our own…" he whispered in my ear.
My stomach clenched. For the past few weeks, Nahuel had been pressuring me to do….things. It's not like I didn't want to, I did, and I was completely in love with Nahuel. The only problem was: I was scared. Scared of what my parents would think of me, scared of how my father would react, and most of all, scared that it would hurt.
I bit my lip and turned to Aunt Alice. "Fine, let's go then." She grinned and dashed off to her porshe…Happy birthday to me.
