Hello all. This is the second installment of the story Edward, Bella and Renesmee. Lots of suspense, heartbreak, romance and excitement to come! If you didn't read my first story check it out. Now on with the story.

Chapter 1

She sat alone in the dark, brooding over the news she just received. She was cunning. Leaving the country like that. She should have been more specific and threatening in the note. She thought back to the day she called her. She had sounded so angry, but she was pretty sure that it was just to fend off the fear she felt. Now she went off and took her and her mate off to another country. Oh well, she could be patient. She would let her have her time off, make her think that everything was fine but as soon as they were back stateside she would be sorry. She threw the knife as hard as she could at the picture across the dimly lit room.

"Your time will come Rose. Just you wait." She sneered at the picture.

Oo00oo

Renesmee sat there staring at the ring on her left hand. She couldn't get over its beauty. It was a simple ring but thats what made it so beautiful. It was unique just like her mothers was...and with just as much meaning.

It was a native american ring. One passed down through his family. It was his mothers. His mother. It made her sad that he never was able to grow up with a mother. Billy did the best he could. Now she was even more sad, his dad was undergoing chemo to try and beat the cancer. He said he didn't want to go down without a fight. Her thoughts carried her to that night.

She was sitting there at Charlies table. Something that had become somewhat of a habit since Billy was diagnosed. Every Sunday they would go over and have dinner with Charlie and Jakes dad. These moments had become precious to her. She came to realize just how close Charlie and him were. It was going to be hard on him if Billy doesn't make it. The mens laughter brought her back to present.

"What do you think Nessie?" Jacob looked at her with laughter in his eyes. He reached over and casually put his hand on her thigh under the table. She smiled at him.

"Sorry I missed it. What were you talking about." She apologized. Jake looked at her with concern.

"The wedding...and how Alice will probably want to plan it."

Across the table Charlie and Billy looked sideways at each other. Charlie cleared his throat. "Say Billy, what do you say we clear some of these dishes and get desert.

"Sounds good to me. Annie makes the best deserts." As they left the room Jake looked over at Nessie. He had concern written all over his face.

"Ness whats wrong? You've been distracted all day." I looked down where I had taken his hand. The ring shown prominently.

"I- I just have been letting my mind wander I guess." She glanced up at him through her lashes. "Your dads cancer. I should have known he was gonna fight it, but I just feel like hes doing it for us. If he isn't going to make it I don't want his last few months being sick. I mean is it even helping? Should we move up the wedding date?" She searched his eyes hating bringing this up now but knowing that he wouldn't have dropped it gave her no choice. Jacobs expression softened and he stopped absently spinning the ring on her finger, and took her face in both his hands.

"Renesmee Cullen, please stop borrowing trouble. We've barely been engaged a month and your already worrying during what should be the happiest time of your life." He chuckled softly as she gently brushed his thumb over her cheekbone. "And with your family it will be no time before there is some sort of crisis going on." She blushed slightly and looked down. He raised her chin with his finger. "Hey, I promise, nothing, no one, not anything will keep me from marrying you. Whether its sooner or later. No matter the circumstances. That's a promise. Koo cloak lay." His use of his Quileute language was a advantage on his part was a good one. The smile that she gave him was enough to take his breath away. He didn't think he would ever get used to her smiles. She leaned forward pulling him towards her with her left hand on his cheek.

She pulled away just enough whisper, "I love you too."

She clung to that promise now. Rose and Emmett decided to take a vacation unannounce and out of the blue, and she may not have heard them voice it out loud but she knew her parents thought something may be going on there. Rose had been distant, and avoiding the family. Planning their 'vacation' and springing it on Emmett a few days after the incident with his brother. Emmett was hesitant at first, not wanting his brother to feel like he was abandoning him again. Eventually after a few...unsucessful hunting trips together they agreed that maybe some time apart while he gets accustomed to this lifestyle might not be so bad.

"Renesmee are you even paying any attention?" Alice chirped from the front seat.

Renesmee looked at her. "Sorry Alice, just not the same without Rose here."

"Oh, shes been a party pooper lately anyway. Probably wouldn't have even come."

Renesmee let out a sigh. "Yea your probably right."

"Honey, try not to fret about it too much, Rose and Emmett do this every now and again. Its just their...thing. They were overdue for some alone time anyway." Esmee said from the front seat also.

Bella reached for Renesmees hand. "Shes right. This way there will be no distractions for your big day. This day is for you, don't let anything ruin it, OK?" She stroked her hand down her long locks and kissed her forehead.

"Ok mom, your right...today is the day I pick out my wedding dress and it will be fun. Plus I get to have you try on a bunch of bridesmaid dresses." She laughed at her moms pained expression.

She tried to control her laughter as Esmee announced their arrival at the bridal shop in Seattle. She exited the car and their banter continued into the store.

Oooo0ooo

Rose took her first full breath since they left Forks. She was so worried that, that woman, would interrupt their departure. She made her way into the house on Esmee Island. She took another deep breath and closed her eyes. Emmetts arms came around her. She could feel his tension. He was worried about her. She tried to act casual but was afraid that she had failed. Even with as long as she was alive she still couldn't fool him. It was one of the reasons she loved him. He saw her for who she really was, not the front she put on.
"Stop worrying, I'm fine...now that were here let's just forget everything and enjoy ourselves. I can't remember the last time we had some alone time."

Emmett smiled at her but couldn't shake the feeling she was hiding something from him. Even after how long they have been toghter she is still keeping secrets. Of there was one thing he knew pestering her about it wouldnt help she would come to him when she was ready. So he pushed it aside and let her drag him tio the bedroom.

Well there it is the first chapter. Let me know what you thought. :) Hope to have the next chapter up soon.
