Of Age

Bella's POV

"Happy Birthday Renesmee," I said pushing my present in front of her. Once she took it i kissed her forhead and pulled back while she opened it.

Renesmee was officially sixteen, although she had looked this age for the past ten years. Her mind though was multiple years ahead.

"Awww, Mum! Seriously? But I didn't ask for this." My darling daughter stared at it as if it could disappear and return as the present she really wanted - victoria secret lingerie.I did give her something close though - something i thought was sexy in a safe and non lurring sense - a skimpy and silky night dress with spaghetti straps that's satin and ran to half way down her thigh.

Edward snickered from the couch. I turned to scold at him. He stopped and smiled that favourite crooked smile of mine. I instantly forgot what i was mad at him for; or if i was even mad, and turned back to Renesmee.

"Well, when you get your own money you can buy whatever you want." And i instantly regretted saying it. She was the most beautiful teenager in all history, and she would remain this way for the eternity. Renesmee reached sixteen, and from what Nahuel told us last spring (when was it btw sorry if it wasnt spring ill check up on it but im getting to busy now), his sisters stopped growing when they hit around fifteen to seventeen years of age. Nahuel was half human, half vampire like Renesmee. She had some human qualities and vampire qualities, for instance she preffered blood - a vegetarian like the rest of the Cullen family - but she injected no venom after biting anything. She was stunningly beautiful, just as the rest of us, like my beautiful husband who I adored just as much as i did Renesmee. She had my eyes while i was human, a rich chocolate brown and the brown mahogany hair reaching her waistline. Curly just like Charlie's, my father. Her skin pale - and as we had tested - could repel any needles or cuts. She was strong but couldn't keep up with us in running - although she ran faster than any human. The thing loved most about her was her ability, she could show anyone she touched her mind, what she wanted or was thinking.

Renesmee placed her hand to my cheek, showing me the bra and panties she absolutely prized in one of Alice's shopping raids. I was surprised Alice didn't get them for her for Renesmees birthday (she had told me she wouldn't) - but prehaps she had forseen the outcome already. Just like Renesmee, Alice had a gift; she could forsee the future although not everything was concrete so it didn't always turn out the way she had predicted. Among Alice and Renesmee, Edward, my utterly perfect husband for sixteen years a month back, had a gift as did Jasper - Alice's husband. He could feel everyone's emotions and also control them, Edward could read everyone's minds around him, except me. I had a gift we later found out. Elezear, an old friend of Carlisle's and an ex member of the Vultori, told us that he could tell every gift any mortal or immortal possessed - he had called what i had a shield.

Edward had begun laughing a little louder than before, seeing what was in Renesmee mind at that moment. I turned to scold at him once more but a knock at the door had distracted me. Edward sighed and i breathed in, smelling Jacob's doggy perfume that i could not stand - no vampire liked the smell of a werewolf and no werewolf liked the smell of a vampire.

Renesmee hopped up and went for the door in less than one second. Opening the front door of our house - or cottage as it wasn't big enough to be called a house - Jacob stood a few feet away from the doorway. All we could see was his shoulders and then the top of the doorway; he grew more every year although it had slowed down over the decade.

Renesmee squealed and went out to jump into his awaiting arms. Jacob grabbed her and pulled her up along his seven foot, eleven inch body so that their faces were at the same level and kissed her urgently, his lips burning at over a hundred degrees pressing against her cold but near human tempuratured lips. I sighed, Jacob wanted that so badly for me and him, but he had imprinted on Renesmee the day she was born and could be with no other and I had my true love with Edward. Jacob was a Quilette and phased into a werewolf whenever he wanted to. Being a werewolf meant he could out run Edward - the fastest vampire Carlisle has ever seen - and could stay the same age forever. Which was perfect seen as Renesmee would never grow older, it was also disturbing for Jacob was actually thirty-two years old - he still looked like a sixteen year old but his height proved otherwise. He could age as soon as he gave up being a werewolf, but if it meant he would spend eternity with Renesmee he never would. Jacob was still the Alpha of his pack, which now consited of ninteen werewolves. Seth Clearwater became his beta, proving how loyal and trustworthy he was while I had changed into a vampire. He had no problems with being around us and we loved him dearly.

I was at the open front door now with Edwards arm around my waist. I leaned into him and watched Jacob present his gift to Renesmee. I still had my bracelet he had given to me before my wedding - a silver chain with a hand carved wolf made by Jacob himself - something to remember him by. Renesmee had her back to me while she was opening the long slender box Jacob placed in her hand. She gasped and started jumping up and down, squealing at the top of her chime like voice. She jumped up and placed her hands around Jacobs neck and kissed him widly on the lips, not letting go for well over five minutes, herlegs wrapped around his waist. Edward coughed slightly to let them know we were watching, I could only imagine what was going through Jacobs and Renesmees mind letting Edward in on it. It disturbed him but he stayed, I was almost ready to pull them apart before she turned around to face me not walking though. I could see then, Jacob was clipping a gold chain around her neck kissing it when he was done. I ran up to them to see. Sure enough it was a heart locket, placed next to the one i had given her for her first christmas. I scolded at Jacob and narrowed my eyes. How could he give her a locket when she already had one? I thought. Renesmee opened it and inside was an inscription and a picture of Jacob standing behind Renesmee with his arms round her shoulders, squeezing her to him with his cheek against her hair. I had to admit - they were happy together - they had found true love in eachother. The inscription said 'I will always be with you. I love you!' It wasn't like something Edward would say to me and make my heart melt, but Renesmee and Jacob were different to me and Edward. Edward placed his chin on my shoulder while standing behind me, kissing my neck whispering softly into my ear how much he loved me. I sighed and let my shoulders drop. It was late in the morning and I knew we had to go to the big white Cullen house, they would all have gifts to treat her with.

Renesmee was one step ahead, hand in Jacobs she decided to meet us there. She jingled her new car keys in her right hand and went to the drive way that stopped afair way from the cottage. I didn't like the present Edward had gotten her, a sleek and fast but road safe and indestructible Audi, in a dark shade of purple - her favourite colour. Technically she was only sixteen and didn't have her license fully yet - but she would never really need it, she could dazzle her way out of anything including a parking fine.

As it sped silently away i turned to face Edward.

"Are we running or driving?" I asked.

"I'd prefer running if that's okay with you." He always gave me whatever I wanted, he spoiled me terribly and i enjoyed it but i didn't need it - he was enough.

"Okay, race you!" But he was already gone into the forest. I followed his scent but stopped suddenly as i knew he had doubled back ready to suprise me from behind a tree or in one. I continued walking at a human pace. Then as i was sure he hadn't moved from his spot I sprinted as fast as i could. He was of course the fastest and bowled me over when i reached the forests end before the river that flowed between the house and the forest. We tumbled for a while, rolling over in the grass. He stopped on top of me and i gave in, knowing i couldn't escape for my strength had decreased over the years of no longer being a newborn vampire. He laughed in his velvet voice that still made me dizzy even after my transformation. He still didn't get off me despite my best struggles and i gave in just deciding to lay as still as stone. He cupped his hands around my face and leaned in closer. Placing his lips on mine, he was getting into it but i still lay still not moving an inch, not playing along.

He pulled back and stared into my eyes, both of ours a golden butterscotch. "Oh come on, don't be like that." He started, i was looking past his eyes into the clouds still as stiff. He rolled off me and onto his back next to me. I knew this was my chance and I fluidly moved to stand up and run to the house, jumping gracefully over the river as it was in my way. I raced into the house before Edward but before I could rub it into his face he had me in his arms carrying me while running up two flight of stairs to reach the third floor where his room was, kicking in the door and jumping - still holding me - onto his black leather couch. He growled and kissed my neck moving up towards my jaw line. I moaned and gripped my hand in his bronze brown hair, urging him to continue. He mumbled softly against the hollow in my neck, "Oh, so you don't mind it now? You are a mystery to me Isabella Cullen." I moaned again after hearing my new name through his lips. I was his wife he was my husband we were together for eternity and we had Renesmee for eternity also. I couldn't believe a life like this could be lived, it was the most romantic and unbelievable love story in the history of forever.

"Well it's not fair how you can beat me all the time unless i...distract you like that." I whispered.

He opened his mouth but we were called down to the living room by Esme.

"Until later then," he stated.

I started to nod and we flew down the stairs, being there in the same second i finished my nod. Renesmee was sitting on the loveseat with jacob next to her, his hand on her leg peering over her shoulder. Carlisle and Esme were sitting on the couch next to Emmet and Rosalie. Alice was sitting infront of Renesmee kneeling on the floor - her eyes eager and Jasper behind her trying not to get to close to Jacob but not far away from alice - my pixie short sister in-law. Edward sat on the only chair available opening his arms, inviting me to sit in his lap, i took this position and leaned back against him. His chin rested on my shoulder again and he breathed in my scent making his chest rise and fall. Next to our daughter was a pile of presents, they were obviously waiting for us to appear so they could begin but not wanting to interupt. I nodded signaling alice to hand her her first present from Renesmees aunts, uncles and grandparents - all adopted though, they weren't really related but we were a family all the same.

Renesmee took her first present eyeing it suspiciously,

"It's from Carlisle and me," Esme added quickly.

She nodded and tore the paper away in one movement and gasped. She jumped into Carlisle and Esme hugging them both around the necks, they patted her back and said she was welcome. Everyone noticed that Renesmee had another talent for drawing and painting, her gift was a paint set, topped with brushes, paints, pastels, pencils, other stationary-like things and a pad of blank paper. She bounced back in the same action to her previous spot next to Jacob.

Emmet and Rosalie had given her a laptop - still being in school and attending college shortly she would need one - and a video camera. Unfortunately, Renesmee had inherited my clumsiness and tripped quite often. Emmet always teased her for it seen as me becoming a vampire had made me graceful, disappointing him but he found other ways to get on my nerves one of them about my hobbies. So Renesmee would be able to record all her activities so he wouldn't miss out. Jasper and Alice had given her four plane tickets for any destination at any time for the next year, return flights and first class of course. The fact that it was four tickets and not two caught my attention. Would she need to take Edward and me? Or could she go on two flights with Jacob? I would have to ask alice later. Not only did they get the tickets but two-thousand dollars spending money. Alice had assured me she wouldn't get her a voucher or item from victoria secrets but she didn't say anything about just money. I smiled at how she had planned it. I got off Edwards lap and walked over to Renesmee, this he did not expect and he shouldn't have, I had one more gift for our daughter but no one knew about it apart from Alice who had forseen it and kept it from Edward. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a thin small rectangle shaped present. I held in front of her and shook it. She took it and gaped at me, squealing before she had even opened it. I heard Edward gasp behind me reading Renesmees mind and seeing what she believed was under the wrapper. She jumped up and hugged me making me jump with her.
"You haven't even opened it," I stated.

"Yes, but still, oh mum! I can't believe it, and you trust me, oh oh oh eeeeee." Everyone was still confused and just continued staring. Renesmee realised no one else knew and showed everyone her final present. A thin, silver card was held in her hand with her name printed on it. Renesmee Carlie Cullen. She finally had her own credit card. Everyones o shaped mouths turned out into smiles and the entire room was alight, glistening and shimmering from the diamond sparkles our skin reflected when the sunlight hit it. The large glass wall at the end of the house let the sun seep through this glorious day. Renesmee did not have this affect though, which turned out again perfect so she could enjoy the sunlight with her boyfriend. And now they had plane tickets to any destination they chose.

I felt a little anxious now that my little girl had all grown up and was starting her life, Jasper felt my emotions and smiled. I returned it with my own dazzling smile. I let the thought pass that she would leave me and I would be left alone with Edward, which was all good but i would be missing half of me again.

-

Around four pm the clouds had taken over the sky as Alice had predicted and we would not blind Charlie as he would visit his grand daughter, still in the know that it was Edwards neice adopted by us after his brother and sister inlaw had died in a car accident and the judge gave her to us - that was the story we told for Charlies sake - he couldn't know the truth. Half an hour later, Seth and Leah Clearwater and their mother, Billy Black, Sam Uley and Emily, Quil Ateara and Claire, Embry, a few other werewolves that didn't mind being around my kind now and Charlie were in the living room area that had been changed into a party mode - with a few more chairs and tables, decorated by Alice of course - had filled it and lightened the atmosphere. The table was filled with party pies, chips and all sorts of lollied and hand type food that we could just choose. We couldn't have meals or Charlie would notice none of the Cullens eating. However when it came to the cake, we joined in knowing we would have to cough it up when they had all left.

Renesmee could eat either blood or human food but she really prefered being a vegetarian like Edward and I. After the cake was finished more presents were piled on the table. It never seemed to end when it came to gifts for Renesmee, even boys from school had sent her notes and flowers devoting their love for her and worshipping her. She turned them all down for she only had eyes for Jacob.

Some presents included; cds, hair accesories, chocolates and finally a small box from Charlie. I prayed for not another necklace but Edward winked at me soothing me a little. She squealed like she had with my credit card present and walked over to Charlie - at a slow human pace - to peck him on the cheek.

"What is it?" I asked anxiously.

"A cell phone, the latest model, I love it!" She replied.

I grinned, what other electric device could she possibly recieve, she had almost everything. The party started to die down and eventually everyone left except for Charlie. He stayed back, I hadnt seen him since the year of Renesmees birth. I hadn't changed in sixteen years - i was suppose to look thirty-four but i still kept my eighteen appearance. He must of had questions. Renesmee saw him every christmas and everytime it was his or her birthday up until she was five, she looked like a teenager then, but never saw me or the Cullens. I only saw him now because we were moving from Forks to another place, but I still wanted to live in our cottage so edward promised we would come back in a decade or so - it was our home.

I walked out to the porch and turned on Charlie who had followed me out.

"Dad," i said but stop, the words i needed to say wouldn't come out, he got older and could have heart attack.

"Bella, you look beautiful, like the time i walked you down the aisle," he hesitated, i hadn't changed since he walked me down the aisle to my now husband.

"Dad," I started again, i had the courage, I believed in it, i had to. "I know you have questions but do you remember the time you first saw Renesmee?" Jacob had phased before him, letting his secret out, i had to let mine out now.

"Yes, you were sick and Jacob....Oh.....This is a need to know sort of things, isnt it?" I nodded but i had to let him in on more.

"I can't tell you exactly but, well, I'm part of the Cullens now." I searched his eyes to see if he got a little out of what i was saying. "And well, we, ugh, I can't say anymore dad but if you did know you would, well, be silenced. And that's why we have to leave." I spluttered it all out going over his face seeing his emotions run accross his face.

"So i know to much and that's why you have to leave? Oh Bella, what happened? Why? I mean well you can't tell me but what do you mean silenced? You mean permantly? I can fight them Bella, what are you being forced to do? What are they telling you? Doing to you?" So many questions, my mind was spinning. I answered the ones i could remember.
"No its not cause what you know, it's everyone else. Nothing happened, I just joined the Cullen family. And yes permantly silenced. No you can't fight them. And I'm not being forced to do anything, it's all my choice. I'm leaving dad, we all are so this is a going away party as well. You might see Renesmee in a couple of years or sooner, she loves you you know. Now she has her own bank account and car and plane tickets im sure she'll use them to visit you but only for the next couple of years. I wont see you again dad. Not like this anyway. I've probaly said to much already. I'm certain I have, but it was my choice, all of it I, I....love you dad." If i could still cry the tears would be overflowing now, but I couldn't.

He held me there under the porch while the rain started silently patting down on it.

"Can I call you?" I thought about it, i guessed it would be alright so i nodded.

"And i will see renesmee next year?"

"She wouldn't miss spending time with you for the world." My body started shutting down, but I kept control.

"Well this really is goodbye then - forever."

"Yes," I started losing it.

"Bella? I, well i want only one thing from you then and well all of you i guess even if you dont call i just want this big favour to ask." He waited still hugging me. I pulled away my eyes questioning.

"Before I die, on my death bed, will you visit me? And all of you, but especially you, edward and renesmee." His eyes were puffing and red colour came to them. Tears took control and ran down his cheek. He looked away, embarrassed, wiping away the tears but they did not stop. He knew i would still be alive, he knew all of us would. I had made him make his own assumptions, his own thoughts about us.

"We will, if you tell no one." I needed to make this deal with him.

"Mhmm." Was all he could manage, afraid that his voice would break. I strolled with him to his cruiser. And waved as he reversed.

"I'll always be here in forks, my will is in the house, bye bella my beautiful baby girl." With one wave he drove off. I ran behind it at a humans pace, he knew to much already. He looked in the revision mirror but didn't stop as i kept running i reached to half way up the drive and stopped, falling to the ground, remembering the scene that had just occured.

I wasn't surprised when hands pulled me up off the ground, but it was surprising how slow he was walking, prehaps so i had time to pull myself together before we went back inside. When he was sure i could walk he placed me on my feet and embraced me in his long arms.

"He didn't, he didn't say that...he loved me." I stuttered.

"Oh bella," He wiped a strand of hair out of my face, "He was thinking it, he didn't want to say goodbye, he didn't want it to be the last time. Your promise will be kept, Alice will keep a look out and we'll be back in that same minute, alright my love?" I nodded into his chest as he hushed me. He started humming his latest piece and i felt another hand on my shoulder, i was calm and collected.

"thanks jasper," I mumbled. He stood there for another second and then was gone.

We walked hand in hand back towards the others a little faster but still at a slow pace for vampires. As soon as we walked through the door, Alice bounded up to me and hugged me for so long it felt like a year.

"Edward's right, I'll look out for him bella and we'll keep your promise. We will all see him, if thats ok with you," I didn't trust my voice even though it would be the same soft sound of chimes. I just nodded and stared at the floor.
"I, ugh hate to bring this up," I looked up to her, than glanced at Edward, he was shaking his head violently with an angered look on his face, alice continued, "We have to do something about Renee."

alright well i guess by readin others u shud no to review and all so chya
