Hey guys, please don't hate me if the story is kinda crap to start off with. It will get better, just bear with me. Other than that, enjoy!

A New Life

BPOV

My name is Isabella Cullen, and I am married to the most perfect being in the entire existence of the universe; Edward Cullen. Since we met about twenty years ago, a lot has happened. The birth of our beautiful daughter Renesmee for one thing. Half vampire, half human, she is the embodiment of pure beauty itself. When she was born, it nearly killed me, literally, but it was worth it. Edward had to change me himself; the damage Renesmee did to my human body was too much. My spine snapped almost clean in two, and the only way to save me was to turn me into a 'soulless, deadly, immortal being' as Edward says. The change was painful, I admit, but it meant I could be with my angelic husband for eternity.

Alice burst into our room like a wildfire, and Edward and I immediately crouched into a hunting position. Edward relaxed when he realised it was only his annoying pixie-like sister, and so did I.

"What is it, Alice?" I grilled. She had just interrupted a very intense moment between Edward and I.

Edward, who had been silent so far, answered my question for Alice, "She wants to take you, Renesmee and Rosalie on a shopping trip." At that, Renesmee also burst through the door, with Jacob.

"Did Aunt Alice just say we're going shopping?" queried Renesmee.

For a moment I wished Renesmee didn't have supersensitive hearing, like everyone else in this slightly dysfunctional family.

"No, she didn't, you must have imagined it, go back to hunting," I growled.

"But Momma, you never come shopping with us anymore. It'll be fun, honestly!" Why does my own daughter have to be so good at persuading me to do something?

"I've already seen you say yes," Alice chirped, "so you don't have a choice!" I swore I'd get back at her someday. Maybe burning all of her clothes would do it...

I guess Alice saw me doing just that, because she turned on me and said, "You'll never get away with it, missy." I couldn't help but laugh. The worst Alice could do was give me a makeover. Edward must have been listening in on my thoughts, as I saw him smile out of the corner of my eye.

It wasn't long before I noticed the disgusting smell. Jacob, I thought.

"Dog," Edward growled.

"Yes, master!" said Jacob mockingly.

"Bella would prefer it if you went outside. The smell's getting to her."

"Oh, c'mon Bells, don't be like that," Jacob pleaded, jokingly. However he turned and headed out of the door, "C'mon Ness, I don't think we're wanted here." At that, Renesmee followed him.

"Thanks Dad, now Jake's in a bad mood," she accused. I watched the two run to their cottage, and could see that Jake was trembling.

Renesmee knew what was about to happen, and moved far enough away from me as not to get hurt. I phased midstride, and as soon as I did so, I was welcomed by Seth and Leah's thoughts.

'Sup? Seth thought, optimistic as usual.

I knew it would be useless trying to hide the truth from him.

Got in another fight with Edward.

Well, nothing new there then, Leah sneered. I thought she'd softened up a little after everything with Bella. Guess I was wrong.

You didn't do anything...stupid, did you? Seth inquired.

Nessie was there, course I couldn't. Upset Bella pretty bad though. She may not like the smell and all, but Ness tells me she still loves me, and that she hates it when I get upset.

Ha, guess the motherly bloodsucker's rubbing off on her, Leah thought.

Shut up Leah. Esme's a good person, they all are, so stop treating them like they aren't.

Yes, sir. I phased back when we reached the cottage Esme had built for us, and went inside to make a sandwich.

"Still hungry? We just ate!" Nessie exclaimed, creeping up behind me. She was the most beautiful person in existence, and just looking at her made my heart swell with joy. And she was mine forever.

"It's a wolf thing," I replied. If I had a dime for every time I had said that, I would be rich. Before we both knew it, I was kissing her desperately, and couldn't stop. Somehow we made it into her bedroom-Edward didn't allow us to sleep in the same room just yet, for obvious reasons-and managed to take off each other's clothes. She returned my kisses and embraces with as much passion, and all I could think of at that moment was how much I loved this girl in front of me. I forgot all about the argument with Edward, and the fact that they could probably hear us from the house, and Leah and Seth. I only knew Renesmee. Nothing else. Eventually, we stopped, and just lay on the bed, staring into each other's eyes. Renesmee put her hand on my cheek, and showed me what she was feeling. It mirrored my own emotions exactly. I held her close to me for a while, staring at the ceiling, until eventually my lids drooped, and I drifted into a slumber and dreamt of Renesmee as a baby.

After what felt like a lifetime, I woke up, and saw Nessie lying next to me. She looked peaceful while she was sleeping, as if she didn't live in this world of monsters. I couldn't help but lift her hand to my face, to see what she was dreaming about. I saw a meadow, with lush green grass, and an array of flowers. Then I saw myself come through the trees, towards Renesmee. I decided to stop looking into her dreams. They were her private thoughts, and I didn't want to intrude. That was when I heard Alice making her way towards our cottage.

"Crap. Renesmee, wake up. Oooh crap. Alice is coming. Edward is gonna kill us."

"Crap. Seriously?"

"Seriously. Now get dressed. I'll go get changed. Don't worry," I instructed. I got dressed at lightning speed. Just in time, as Alice pranced through the door not two seconds later.

"Yes, you may come in," I said sarcastically. She went on as if she hadn't heard me, and headed towards Nessie's room and knocked on the door.

"Now you knock," I grumbled under my breath. She shot me a look that could kill, and waited until Nessie opened the door.

"Auntie Alice! What are you doing here?" Ness questioned, slightly too innocently.

"Well, I just came to check that you hadn't forgotten about our shopping trip. Bella, I mean, your mom, agreed to it, so I was wondering if you're ready."

"Shopping trip? Oh, yeah. No, I haven't forgotten. I think I'm ready, so, let's go!" We ran back towards the house, where we met a steaming Edward and Bella. Damn.


A.N. Hope you enjoyed that!
