I do NOT own Twilight or any of the characters. This story takes place AFTER BREAKING DAWN.

I rolled over to the other side of the bed where Edward was laying. "Hi, love", he said with his velvet smooth voice as I let my hand rest softly across his chest and our golden eyes locked for a minute. I realized I was more in-control of my strength now because he didn't flinch or make a facial expression like he used to when I'd try to do that as a newborn. Anyway, now that I don't sleep, every moment Edward and I spend together during the night is like a dream. When Renesmee falls asleep, we gaze into other's eyes all night; and it's absolutely magical. Well that's what we do when we're not…well, doing that other thing we did a few days ago. I glanced at the digital clock on the nightstand. "It's only 4 a.m."", I moaned to Edward as he put his arm under my back and pulled me closer to him. "Renesmee should be up in a few hours", he mumbled. Edward reached for the remote and turned on the TV. He turned the channel to an old movie I wasn't familiar with. Well, it wasn't holding my interest because I shut my eyes and rested my head on Edward's hard chest. Edward had told me about how he thought with his eyes closed when I was asleep as a human; and he would stay over at Charlie's house with me. I tried to remember my human years because most them were very vague. I remembered all of the time I had spent with Edward very clearly, along with Charlie, Mom, Jake, Jessica, Mike, Eric… "Do you miss them?" Edward asked quietly. I looked up at him, amazed. "Can you read my mind now?" I nearly squealed with excitement. "Shhh", he managed to get out while he chuckled quietly. "Don't wake Renesmee just yet." "But how are you..." I whispered as he interrupted, "You've been mumbling their names for the past hour, dear" "Woah it's been an hour?" I asked. "Well, two hours, you were particularly quiet for the first hour. "And I could almost hear the gears grinding in that pretty little head of yours", he said jokingly with a smirk as he planted a kiss on my forehead. "I guess I need to get better at thinking with my eyes shut", I said. "I'm going out hunting with Emmett and Jasper for a while, he said while flashing over to the dresser. I can bring something back for you." "None for Renesmee though, I think we should take Carlisle's advice and start feeding her human food. He said it would stun her growth a bit so she will look like she is naturally aging until she is in high school without anyone questioning her real age." I said as I met him at the dresser and kissed my husband goodbye. Edward was out of the house in a flash. I threw on a pair of jeans and a blue button up shirt with sleeves that I rolled up to my elbows. I walked into Renesmee's room only to see that she was already up, waiting for me to come pick her up out of her crib. Renesmee is the only member of the Cullen family that can sleep, since she is half human. "Morning Ness", I said as I lifted her out of the crib. She placed her soft little hand on my cheek, and said through her mind communication, "Good morning Mommy." She sure was getting heavy, she was only a year old, but had grown as big as a three year old so quickly. "You're growing up too fast", I said with a smile. Renesmee giggled. Although she is only one, she can communicate very well through the mind and is smarter than most five year olds. That was according to Carlisle, who had let her read all of his medical books and teach her something new every visit. And we visit almost every day. She doesn't speak yet, but we aren't rushing her, after all she's got many years to learn. I dressed Renesmee in a pink dress with brown polka dots, pink tights, and a thin headband with a pretty pink bow that pushed her hair back. Her bronze colored locks fell below her shoulders. This whole outfit was the result of a "tiny" shopping trip to Gymboree with Alice. Renesmee would always have the best clothes because of her Auntie Alice. I held Renesmee's hand as we walked into the beautiful kitchen. We had remodeled our house since we moved in. We added two more floors, that included a library, a den, a room with a piano for Edward, a TV room with a plasma screen; a gift from Esme and Carlisle. We also added another bathroom that was huge, expanded our bedroom and Ness', and we had one leftover room for anything we wanted. Right now it was just an empty room. And don't get me started on the kitchen. Esme had outdone herself really; granite counter tops, and a breakfast bar with high stools. Not to mention the new appliances, we had everything. It was a lot for only one person in our house who would eat food. I sat Renesmee on one of the stools and she dangled her legs back and forth as she colored in a coloring book with crayons. Just like a normal kid. I thought. "What'll it be today Ness?" I asked as I looked inside the refrigerator. I leaned towards her as she put her hand on my cheek again. "Elk blood, please", she thought. "No Renesmee Grandpa Carlisle said it'd be better if you ate human food." "Okay mommy, how about oatmeal?" she thought. Renesmee is a good kid, she always does what she is told. "Alright", I said as I looked in the cabinets for some oats. I opened all of the cabinets. "We don't have any human food left Ness. How about we take a trip to the grocery store before Daddy gets home?" Renesmee nodded her head. I lifted her out of the chair and grabbed my Coach purse. It was a very generous gift from Alice when we found out I was pregnant with Ness. I strapped Renesmee into her car seat in the Mercedes. I figured that I should use the "before" car instead of the "after" car- both from the Cullen family. I didn't want to draw too much attention to us. We arrived at the supermarket, and I sat Renesmee in the front seat of the shopping carriage. I had an idea of what we had to get, but I couldn't speed through the store without anyone questioning me. I picked out some foods that were basic; milk, water, bread, oatmeal, cold cereal, eggs, noodles, sauce, and a few other snacks for Renesmee. As we shopped, I got Renesmee a muffin and chocolate milk from the bakery. I checked out, using the new black American Express card that Edward always wanted me to have in my wallet for anything I wanted. Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, Alice, and Edward each had one too. I loaded the groceries into the car and we drove home. We got home at about 11 a.m. "Edward honey? Edward are you home?" I asked. "Right here, love", he said from the kitchen. We kissed each other romantically for a moment until we noticed that Renesmee was standing there looking up at us. We stopped kissing, and if I could blush, I probably would. Edward and I stocked up our house with the human food in about five seconds. Edward made Renesmee lunch at around 1. "I'm making Ness macaroni and cheese. Would you like any?" He said, smiling. "I'll have to pass on that", I said with a chuckle. Renesmee ate her lunch, though Edward and I could both tell that it didn't taste very good to her. "She can have leftover mountain lion blood for dessert." Edward said. I shrugged. Maybe a little wouldn't hurt. We set Nessie down for her nap and the day seemed to fly by from there. The next time I looked at the clock, the time read 6 p.m. I made dinner for Renesmee, gave her a bath, and then Edward read her a bedtime story. It made her fall right asleep. Edward's smooth voice would have put me right to sleep too. I walked into our bedroom and changed into one of the nightdresses Alice packed for me when Edward and I went on our first honeymoon. It was one with black lace. I had never worn this one. The first honeymoon was a human memory that was VERY clear. I slowly walked out into the kitchen, where I saw Edward looking for the bottle of mountain lion blood he saved from earlier. He must have heard my footsteps because he turned around and said, "Bella would you like some…." He didn't finish his sentence because his mouth dropped. "Bella you look…amazing." I smiled and looked down at the floor. He put his arms around my waist and whispered, "Did you have anything in mind for tonight?" He said this with that half smile I loved so much. "Well…, there's that one thing I'd love to do", I said with a smile. Then, Edward swept me up into his muscular arms and carried me into the bedroom.
