Seriously you guys, there aren't alot of Edward and Nessie moments in BD, so why don't we make our own? I got the idea of this one at work, (cause there was nothing else to do) and I wrote the first chapter in about 1/2 an hour. Thurs I will write ch.2 and Fri I will write ch.3. Let me know what you guys think.

'Not A Baby'

(Chapter One)

EPOV

"This one." My sweet daughter picked out a book to read before bed. Tonight, it was Marie McPoil.

"Alright sweetheart," I patted the space next to me on our sofa. "Come have a seat."

Renesmee pounced right to the sofa and snuggled up next to me. I started to read. "When she was little her father said, "You're a Little Indian Princess so fair, so true, you'll know your Knight, he'll come for you." I was about to move on to the second verse, when Renesmee's little hand stopped me.

'Daddy, I WANT to read it.' She thought, then rolled her eyes. 'I'm not a baby you know.' She thought again.

"Ah, but you are." I reminded her. She wasn't being rude or disrespectful, just telling me the facts.

"Daddy." She said out loud this time. "Tomorrow is my birthday, a whole year old." She informed me, (Like I didn't already know.) "I have a whole year's experience on me." She said a bit smug. I just had to laugh at that!

"A whole year huh?" I questioned her between laughs. Then my almost-one-year-old daughter (looking more like an 8 year old) glared up at me. 'My little Bella." I thought. 'So stubborn.'

"Alright, alright." Renesmee must have known I'd give in to whatever she wanted. "You may read." I handed her the book.

"But in her early life, pain fell hard and fast, she thought how for sure her Knight was in the past." To my surprise, my daughter stopped reading, and questioned me with those big brown wonderful eyes of hers, "Am I a Princess?" She asked.

"Yes. To me, you are my princess." I smiled down at her, because it was true. She was my little princess.

"Oh." Renesemee said, pleased at my answer.

Renesemee kept reading, "Her years were long and hard, times of love fell short of true..." and she she flipped the page of her book, I found myself playing with a stand of her hair. It's bronze color, identical to mine. It's lovely curls, flowing softly around her shoulders. It was soft and silky, like Bella's. Still, almost a whole year later, I couldn't believe I had a daughter. Mine. So beautiful and smart. Sweet and caring. After a few moments of me, stroking her hair, I noticed that she wasn't reading anymore, and her breathing had evened out.

I looked down at her to find she'd fallen asleep, her head resting on my chest. I moved the book out of my way and picked Renesmee up bridal style to carry her to her bedroom. I looked down at my daughter as she rested in my arms. 'So beautiful', I thought over and over again. 'A father'. Still, it was amazing.

I placed Renesemee in her bed, turned her nightlight on, and took one last glance at my sleeping daughter.

Sucking her thumb.

'Not a baby.' I remembered her saying. I chuckled, and closed her bedroom door. (A/N, yes I realize Nessie doesn't suck her thumb in BD, but I HAD to add it! It's just too darn cute! Just go with it folks!)

I headed back downstairs to clean up, but found my wonderful wife already straightening the livingroom.

"Did she eat all of this?" Bella questioned, picking up an empty box of cookies and putting it in the trashcan.

"Yes, but not after all of her dinner was gone." Renesmee had grown to liking some human foods, but only the ones that were either extremely spicy or incrediably sweet..

"Did you ladies get everything set up for tomorrow?" I asked as I helped clean of livingroom, picking up a 1/2 eaten pizza slice topped with jalapeno peppers.

Bella smiled, and like always, she stole my heart. "Yes, everything is set up for tomorrow." She took a seat on our sofa, and I went to sit next to her. "Well everything but the food," She continued, "Esme and Rosalie are finishing it up tonight."

"Good. I'm really looking forward to this. She's really going to be suprised."

"Yeah, she's going to love it." Bella laughed. "You should have seen Emmett, all wrapped up in pink and purple." She laughed again.

"You could show me you know." I loved that Bella could lift her shield and show me what she was thinking.

"Oh yeah." Bella showed me the party room (previously, the main house's living room), with presents covering almost every square inch. Then her memory shifted, to Emmett with a pink boa wrapped around his neck while holding onto a bundle of purple balloons. This time, I laughed with Bella, then kissed her.

"I can't believe it. Just a year ago..." Bella began but couldn't finish seeing as her words were stopped by my lips. And with that, a private celebration began as my 1-year-old daughter slept soundlessly in her bedroom.

I just finished reading "The Secret Circle" By L.J. Smith and it's really good. You guys should check it out. Not as good as Twilight, but then again...what is? I've also been thinking about reading "The Vampire Diaries" by L.J. Smith but I'm getting mixed reviews for it. Has anyone out there in Fanficland read it? If so, let me know what you thought of it. OHOHOH I also read (well 1/2 read) "Dead Til Dark" (The book that started the whole 'True Blood' thing on HBO) and it is so stupid! I got so bored with it I couldn't even finish it! You know what really makes me mad is that the vampires weren't as strong as they are in the Twilight series, oh well, guess I'm just spoiled to Twilight. But I was wondering, if anyone had read that book (I know it's a series, a LONG series, but I don't care) But if anyone has read, let me know what happens to Sookie. ( I'm too lazy to finish it myself.) And who was it that killed in the first book? Anywho, let me go. I have a do somethings for 'Crimson Tide' and a few things for 'Waiting for Vanessa', so let me get off from here. Peace!
