Bella POV
Chapter One
It had been 18 years since Edward and I had got married. We were still in love as much as we were that day. There were going to be big changes though and Edward wasn't taking it as well as I was. Edward had been acting strange; with good reason though. This was going to be the last night that our little girl would be living with us.
Tomorrow she would officially become Renesmee Carlie Cullen Black. Edward wasn't angry or worried about Renesmee and Jacob but it was still his little girl leaving, getting married and that would mean that she would be grown up and could have kids herself.
It had been 18 years since Renesmee had been born and we were glad that Jacob had made her wait until she was 18 years old in human years before asking in a very traditional way for her hand in marriage. He was like a brother and a son to Edward and I now and he knew how Edward had been brought up so asked Edward man-to-man before even buying her ring.
That night he had been scared out of his skin and had even asked Alice and Emmett for tips of how to keep Edward out of his head so he could take the time to ask out loud. He was so worried that Edward was going to kill him that he had worn a suit, shirt and tie to look more serious and had asked me to help shield him at the same time as reciting the alphabet in Quileute so that if it didn't work that Edward still couldn't hear what he was thinking.
He shouldn't have worried and I told him that, but he was just trying to make it perfect. When Edward said that he would give them his whole blessing and support if she said yes (which we already knew she would) he couldn't have been happier. He actually shook Edwards hand so hard it would have came off if he were human. He really was perfect for her and I knew that they would be as happy as Edward and I were.
I loved seeing her so happy and that night it happened was the happiest I had ever seen her. I will always remember the night that Jacob asked her and the nerves that were coming off her, if Jasper had been there we would have all been trembling.
Flashback: Three months previous
"DAAAADDDD! Jacob has asked me to go for dinner with him, is that ok?" Renesmee shouted from her room in the cottage
"Of course sweetheart but you didn't need to yell. I'm a vampire you know" Edward smiled smugly knowing what the dinner was in aid of.
"Thanks Dad. Did I ever tell you that you're the best?!"
"Not for everything I heard. I hear that Uncle Jasper is better when you're stressed and Uncle Emmett when you want to prank someone or even Grandpa Carlisle when you want to ask an embarrassing question! So I can't be the best" Edward was just teasing her now and thankfully she did not have teenage tempers and just laughed it off.
"WAIT! You are not wearing that Miss Cullen. Go and put some more clothes on. Who even bought you that!?" Edward screamed whilst recoiling in shock at the sight.
Renesmee had come down the stairs in a crew neck black t-shirt with a full cut out at the back. Only 2 spaghetti straps which were tied in a bow held it together; a black denim mini and flat black boots that came up to just below her knee.
"What! Aunt Alice took me to get this and I love it. I'm not changing!" when I said that she did not have teenage tempers I didn't mean at all. Just rarely and Edward had really got her going this time.
"I know that you are not going like that because you not going until you change lady." A growl escaped Edward's lips as he stood his ground.
"Whatever". Renesmee yelled back as she ran as fast as she could into the other room and came back out wearing a black dress which was fitted with cute little capped sleeves and red heeled pumps.
"I can live with this. You look beautiful sweetheart" Edward smiled that crooked, I've won smile. Little did he know but Alice had seen it all and it was all set up so that Renesmee could get the clothes she wanted without as much fighting. I could only laugh.
So off she went and came back 2 hours later looking very excited but scared out of her mind. Like mother like daughter.
"Mom, Dad can Jacob and I talk to you?" her voice was shaking and quiet.
"Yes honey, is everything ok?" Edward already had to try and keep a straight face.
"Jacobaskedmetomarryhimandisaidyes!" The words spewed out of her mouth so fast it was one word.
"That's amazing! I'm so glad that you accepted. Jacob already asked our permission earlier this week. Congratulations and welcome to the family Jake." I smiled and nearly bounced out of my chair to hug my wonderful daughter and by best friend. So he was meant to be part of the family after all.
