Disclaimer: I own NOTHING. All belongs to Stephenie Meyer and her wonderful imagination.
This is an idea that has been bouncing around in my head for a long time. Despite Meyer's insisting on the perfect future life for Nessie and Jacob, there was no way I could accept that. There are too many issues with Renesmee's growth, too many opportunities for something to go wrong. Physically, she is just fine. Emotionally, however, she may not have the advantage of time to mature fully the way children should have. The story will have seven chapters-one for every year. Hope you enjoy.
To my momma and daddy, aunts and uncles, grandmas and grandpas, and Jake. They will always love me with the greatest love they can give.
Year One
Dear Diary,
Even if we have just met, I could already tell that you are my favorite present of all.
Today was my birthday, and everyone says that I am 'officially' one year old.
I woke up this morning with a kiss from my momma and a hug from my daddy. Momma laughed and told me how heavy I was getting.
She gave me a pretty ring with a heart shaped stone, and pointed to the words "more than my own life" which could be seen through. It was beautiful and shiny but I wanted something more.
I touched my momma's face and felt how smooth it was. I thought of her and how she glowed when the sunlight touched her, brighter than any crystal.
All the time, I compared it to my own skin and felt frustrated that I could not acheive any more than a shimmer.
Momma saw this and laughed. With her hand slipped under mine, she held our palms up facing a ray of light. She pointed to me.
It was only a reflection of her skin that added the other layer of sheen that seemed to dance in front of my eyes. But it was Momma's secret way of telling me.
We are the same.
When we went outside, all our friends and family were there.
Uncle Emmett and Aunt Rosalie gave me a purple bicycle. I got new clothes and a gold watch from Aunt Alice and Uncle Jasper. Daddy had new music to give me and another set of books.
Finally, I got you.
Carlisle and Esme, my grandparents, gave me a thin notebook decorated with a design that reminds me of spider webs.
They said that you would give me the answers I needed, if I used you properly. And then I could not wait to start writing.
My name is Renesmee Carlie Cullen. My parents are Bella Swan and Edward Cullen. My best friend in the world is Jacob Black. I have not started going to school yet, but I will soon and I am excited for it.
Most importantly, I am very special. My momma gave birth to me under 'difficult circumstances'. And when I touch people, I can make them see what I see.
Everyone says that there is no one like me.
I am both a vampire and a human. I am 'unique'.
Also, I am not bad. I do not drink human blood like other vampires.
I never drink Grandpa Charlie's blood when he comes to visit. I stopped drinking blood from the hospital months ago even though it tasted better.
I learned how to hunt animals when I was just a few weeks old, and now I have good control.
Grandpa Carlisle asked me to write down my wishes. I wish for everyone to be safe so I can stay with Momma and Daddy forever, like they promised. When I grow up, I want to have many friends and wear pretty dresses every day.
I can call you the first of these friends because you are someone new to talk to.
Even if I only write in this diary once a year on my birthday (I asked Carlisle about this; he told me it would be easier this way), it is still something of my own.

R&R please. I prefer reviews that are specific, but just an acknowledgement that you spent time reading this is good enough. :)
