[Hope you guys enjoy. It's my first fanfic, although I do write a whole lot.]

I lay in bed next to Edward listening to Renesme's quiet, steady breathing coming from her room. I snuggled closer against my husband and he smiled softly, brushing a kiss across my forehead. It was still strange . . . not being able to sleep.

As we lay there waiting for Morning to come, I thought about the good that had actually come out of our encounter with the Volturi. We were able to make many strong allies and even friends. Those same friends helped me hone my own skill. I could now stretch my shield enough to cover the entire town of Forks.

The greatest thing that came of the entire encounter was being able to meet someone just like Renesme. She would grow until she would physically appear seventeen. Then she would remain that age for the rest of her life, just like her father and I. Unfortunately, that didn't leave her father or I must time with her. Jaccob had imprinted on my daughter the moment he laid his eyes on her as a babe.

I sighed softly, deep in thought. Edward propped himself up on his arm.

" Love, What's the matter? You frustrate me so. Your shield is up and all I know is that you're upset," he said with his velveteen voice as he moved his hand up to my face and relaxed the wrinkles on my forehead. His touch shot electricity through my body like it always did.

"Just thinking. I'm glad that we've come across another just like our daughter. I just wish she wasn't growing so fast. There's only a short time left before she'll belong to Jaccob. I can not believe that just a few months ago she was just a small thing inside of me," I said quietly as I moved my hand to my stomach.

"Bella. My Bella, We must just make the most of the time we had. You cannot dwell on the future or the past. We must just live for the moment my dear."

I moved my lips to his and kissed him hungrily. He was my medicine and the cure for all my problems. I smiled as he moved himself between my legs and trailed kisses from my neck downward.

We never stopped until we could hear the faint sounds of our daughter yawning and climbing out of bed. That was one of the best parts about being a vampire. Our fun never had to end unless we wanted it to.

Edward and I both showered quickly. As we stepped into the closet together, I tried to find something that Alice would approve of. It took me the same amount of time to choose a plain white sundress as it took Edward to find and slip into a pair of khakis and a black button-up dress shirt. My husband was forever looking more handsome.

He left me to help our daughter pick out her outfit and begin making her breakfast as I slipped into the sundress and pulled a brush through my hair. I took a little more time than him on purpose. Time was precious. I believe day should be gone through as though we were human, just so we could remember every last detail with our daughter.

I left our room and walked behind Edward to brush my lips across his neck once before taking a seat next to my beautiful daughter.

"Yucky Momma!" She exclaimed, making a horrible face at our kiss.

She giggled as bother her father and I kissed her on opposite cheeks. She went back to eating her cereal. It would tide her over until we were ready to hunt.

"Bella! You look wonderful! Have you decided to yield to my awesome power of style? In any case, I had a vision that we're going . . .. SHOPPING! I hope that you've started to like it Bella Barbie" Alice exclaimed. She laughed in her pixie-like way as she grabbed my hand.

"Edward!!! Help… ," I pleaded, desperately hoping he would come up with something.

"I'm sorry Love. Alice had the vision." My gorgeous husband stood there laughing. Of course he would betray me! It was his sister and at least he didn't have to go.

Alice grinned as she grabbed Renesme's hand and started dragging us toward her yellow porche.

I let out a small groan and knew better than to protest much more. It would all be to no avail. Alice was addicted to shopping and had plenty of money for it. The entire family had never and will never wear the same outfit two times. It seemed quite ridiculous to me, even now. Hadn't Alice ever heard of a washer and dryer?

Renesme was safely buckled into the back seat behind Alice so I could keep her in my sight at all times. I was, of course, in the passenger seat. Alice was driving way too fast like all the others in the Cullen clan, with the exception of myself. My daughter was giggling and swinging her feet. She had chosen to put on a crimson sundress with a black bow and little black flats.

I thought about how much Alice had influenced my daughter in the fashion sense. I still hated when she played dress-up with me. When I was human, Alice was forever taking advantage of special occasions to play with my hair and buy my clothes. I thought that when I was finally a vampire, Alice would leave me to my own devices. I underestimated how far she was willing to go just to make sure I was always in the most recent fashions from all the top designers.

I had to constantly remind myself that I was now one of the pretty people. My eyes had finally calmed down the Amber color that I shared with the rest of the family. The flaming red should have lasted an entire year, but nothing had been normal about my change. At least I was able to be with my daughter without the fear of attacking her. I had not even once thought about drinking from a human. I was completely satisfied with animal blood.

The drive to Seattle seemed to take no time at all. It could have been even fast if we had just ran the whole way. Alice would never do that when we went shopping. There wouldn't be anywhere to put the clothes.

"C'mon girls! It's time to update our wardrobes!" Before I knew it, Alice had tugged us both out of the car and into the mall. Alice and I looked too young for either of us to be Renesme's mother so we had gone over the story with her in the car.

"Renesme.. I need you to remember something for me."

"What Momma?"


"When you're in the mall with us, you have to call us your sisters. I can't be Momma today. Auntie Alice and I are your sisters."

"'Kay Momma. I'll try my bestest."

My daughter never really needed explanations. I don't know if she really understood any of the things we asked her to do, but she never let us down

"Mo… Sissy, Can I have a new dolly?" My beautiful little daughter asked.

"Of course sweetie. We'll stop for a doll first."

I never enjoyed spending money. It wasn't mine no matter what they all wanted me to believe. Edward always emphasized how I should buy whatever I wanted. I hated people spending their money on me. I twisted my wrist a little to let my bracelet jingle musically. Renesme grabbed both Alice and I by the hand and let the way directly into the nearest toy store. Once we entered the store, she dropped our hands and ran to the doll isle.

Renesme grabbed a doll with the same long, curly, golden brown hair that she had. She had chosen a porcelain doll. The doll's skin looked the same as mine. It was so pale that you would have been able to see the veins under the skin. It was also just as hard as mine. She flashed us a toothy smile and held the doll out to show us proudly. The doll wore a frilly pale blue dress that looked like something an old-fashioned plantation owner's wife would wear.

Alice quickly paid for the doll and my daughter clung to it tightly while we made our way to the next destination.

I sighed heavily again as Alice drug me along. It was time to play Bella Barbie.
