Edward POV
I sat at the piano. Thinking of a song I could play to Renesmee when she got back from her "playdate" with Jacob at the reservation. It's a wonder she even got to go at all, but Bella worked her magic on me and somehow made me agree to this. It was a nice day out. Carlisle told us it was too sunny for us to appear in public. It was at least 80 degrees outside, a first for Forks. Alice, Jasper, and Bella were hunting. Rosalie and Emmett were working in the garage, and Carlisle and Esme were admiring the new additions to her garden.
I heard Renesmee's thoughts from about a mile out. She was upset about something. I met her at the door. She smelled so nice. Maybe it's time I hunt as well. Her face was flushed red, and her hair was disheveled. She looked uncomfortable.
"Daddy, I'm so hot. It's really humid and sticky out there!" She whimpered
"Come here sweetheart, sit with me on the couch. I'll cool you down."
We sat down on the sofa. I laid her down in my lap, resting her head against my shoulder. She sighed in relief. I just watched her. She was so beautiful. A perfect mix of Bella and myself. I couldn't help myself from getting lost in the depths of her beautiful brown eyes. She looked over at me quizzically.
"When did you and Momma meet?" She asked.
"Three years ago, in Biology class. Your mom was still human, and she had just moved here to live with Grandpa Charlie. She became my lab partner. Her scent was amazing. I almost lost control, but I somehow managed to keep her alive. I'm so glad I did sweetheart, because you and your mother are the two most important people in the whole entire world. I love you both with all my heart. Even though it doesn't beat."
She stared at me for a moment, and then rolled those beautiful eyes of hers.
"You almost ate Mom?" She gawked at me. "She was right when she told me she got into dangerous situations after meeting you!"
I laughed. Bella walked in the door. She kissed Renesmee's head, and then lightly brushed her lips against mine. She sat down next to the two of us. We reminisced some more about Bella's klutzy human days. Suddenly Renesmee shivered.
"Daddy, this was nice, but I'm cold now. Maybe Jakey can warm me up."
Bella and I looked at each other for a brief second, and then I spoke up.
"How about a blanket instead?"
