I do not own Twilight :(
EDWARD P.O.V.
There's two things I know for sure:
She was sent here from heaven and she's
daddy's little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes and
I thank god for all the joy in my life
"I don't like Jake." She said stubbornly, crossing her arms and sticking out her bottom lip, just like her mother.
She was currently upset with Jacob because he had to attend school, insteadof staying home to watch television with her, and when he arrived home, he had a lot of homework to finish. "Oh sweetheart..." I whispered, shaking my head. "I wish that were true." I smiled and gently leaned down to kiss her goodnight, but she quickly put her arm between us. "What?"
"Wait, Daddy!" She said, wiggling out of the blankets I just put over her.
"What is it?" I repeated, watching her sit up.
"Mommy said to pray." She smiled.
"Pray?" My eyebrows shot together as I chocked my head to the side. She gently and slowly put her hand on my stone cheek. The touch was warm, and loving.
I then saw Bella through Renesmee's eyes.
She had asked her what her beliefs with the Lord had been. Surely, she knew who he was, but hadn't heard much about him around here, and was curious.
"Tell Daddy to pray with you before bed tonight." Bella had said with an eager smile. Now I knew why she had made such a big deal out of me and no one else to tuck Nessie in tonight.
"Alright..." She smiled and put her tiny hand on my shoulder, as if to tell me to get down on my knees. I obeyed, getting down to eye-level with her. "Go like this..." She whispered, taking my hand. First she lifted it up to my forehead, to my chest, my right shoulder, and then my left. She then clapped her hands together and laid back down.
"Dear God..." I listened to her sweet voice start off the prayer. But it stopped right there. When I opened my eyes to look down at her, she had only one eye open, looking at me. "Dad..." She whispered... "I don't know what to say." She was whispering, as if she were on the spot and somebody was watching her.
I took a deep breath and smiled. "Okay, I'll do it." I racked my brain for things to say to the Lord. I felt quite stupid now.
I've more than one hundred years asking him "Why me?" and "Why did I have to be a vampire?" I felt damned, like I had done something wrong. And I often secretly blamed the Lord for doing this to me...
Though, now that I look down on the bed in front of me, I knew that I had my answers. Finally. "Let's thank him." I whispered.
"For what?" Her head tilted to the side and she squinted her eyes. Like she wanted to know so badly what was on my mind.
"For you." I said, lightly bumping the tip of her tiny nose with my finger. "And your mother..." My breath caught just thinking about how lucky I was to have them.
"And Aunt Alice, and Uncle Jasper..." She started.
"Yes... And Aunt Rosalie, and Esme" I nodded.
"And Carlisle and Uncle Emmett..." She giggled at the last part. "He's my favorite."
I laughed and brushed her hair out of her face. "Yes, mine too."
"And Jake!" She said, sounding sad that she forgot him.
I groaned and rolled my eyes. "Yes, I suppose so."
"Alright... Thank you for my family, Lord... Especialy my Daddy." She said through my favorite smile.
"Okay... Goodnight, Nessie, I love you." I whispered, kissing her forehead.
"Night Daddy." She called as I walked out of the room. "Oh!" She said, making me turn around.
"Yes?"
"It's cold tonight... So make sure you and Momma use a blanket."
I couldn't help but laugh. "I'll keep that in mind. Thank you."
