"Hi Alice, it's Edward can you come over here please?"

"Sure, why?"

"It's Bella. I think she needs a bit more help today than I can give her" I said sombrely.

"OK, I'll be there in ten" she rang off.

I put the phone back in the cradle and walked into what would have been her nursery. I still couldn't say or think my daughter's name yet, the pain was still to real and deep. Bella was stood in her pyjamas hovering over the crib, rocking it backwards and forwards and softly singing a lullaby.

"Bella, sweetheart. Alice is going to be coming over soon so you may want to go have a shower before she gets here"

"Shh, Edward. Don't wake her" she whispered as she looked lovingly down into the empty crib. I sighed in remorse, today was going to be awful for Bella. I was going to have to watch her relive the pain of losing our child all over again. Ever since that day Bella had been in denial and was living as if our sweet little girl had come home with us. Esme said something about it being a defence mechanism, Bella's brain trying to protect her from the unbearable loss she had encountered.

I slowly inched my way across the room until I was stood behind her. I wrapped my arms around her waist and softly whispered into her ear "You go have a shower and I'll stay here with the baby" I finished my sentence with a tender kiss on the back of her neck.

"Edward, her name's Renesmee!" Bella shouted indignantly pulling herself away from my embrace. "Why do you always say daughter, or baby, or daddy's little girl but never her name?"

"Be.."

"You know what I don't care" she cut me off. "I'll go have a shower and maybe you can bond with your daughter, Renesmee" she dragged out the name, then stormed off into the bathroom.

As soon as Bella had left the room I finished my sentence "Bella, I don't call our daughter by her name because she died last week in the hospital" I sat down in the rocking chair and sobbed silently as I heard the running water of Bella's shower.

I wiped the tears from my eyes as I heard the doorbell go. I ran downstairs and opened the door "Hi Alice" I said, embracing her as she walked through the door.

"Where is she?" Alice sighed.

"Upstairs in our bedroom, she's just had a shower" I explained.

"How are you holding up?" she enquired as she began walking up the stairs towards our room, I was following close behind.

"You know, so so" I shrugged.

"Bella, it's Alice. Can I come in?" she knocked on the door.

"Yes" came her reply. As Alice went into the room and over to Bella, Bella asked "Edward, can you go check on Renesmee for me please?"

"Uhm, yeah" I needed Bella to remain calm so thought it would be easier to agree with her rather than remind her of that god awful day in the hospital.

Alice looked over to me, her eyes full of understanding. "Go Edward, I'll make sure that Bella is dressed in time"

"Edward, I don't understand" Bella said worried, grabbing hold of my hand. "Why does the priest keep on talking about Renesmee like she's dead" her voice dropped to a whisper.

"Bella, remember that day in the hospital when they took Renesmee" it hurt to think let alone say her name aloud "to surgery?" I asked.

"Yeah" she replied puzzled.

"Honey, they weren't able to fix the problem and our little angel died that day" I watched her face, looking for the recognition in her eyes.

"No, no you're lying" she said, standing up, her chair scraping across the floor, a sea of faces all concentrated on the scene up front.

"Bella, love maybe you should just sit down for a minute" I stood up a little, put my arm on hers, trying to pull her back into her seat.

Her arm flung out of mine and she went running up to the priest "Stop it, stop it. This is all wrong my daughter's not dead."

"I know this is a tough time dear" the vicar replied.

I quickly ran up to Bella and tried pulling her away so that the service could resume. "Come on, lets go back to our seats" I pleaded, taking hold of her hand. Esme moved to come towards us but I signalled for her to stay where she was.

"Let go of me Edward" Bella snapped, once again breaking free of my grasp. "What have you done with Renesmee?"

"She's not here Bella, she never was. That's what I've been trying to tell you. You've been living in a dream-world" My words were cold and harsh but I didn't know what to do anymore. I was only just handling my own grief and I didn't know how to deal with Bella anymore. I had hoped that coming to the funeral would make it real for her.

"Stop lying" she said through gritted teeth.

"I'm not. Please, try to remember that day at the hospital"

I sat there and watched as she began to process what had occurred on that fateful day just one week ago. "Noooooooooooooo, Renesmee" she choked between heaving sobs as she fell to the ground. Luckily I was there to catch her so that she didn't hurt herself, I wrapped my arms around her, holding her as tight as would be comfortable. Her body wracked with sobs as I watched her relive the death of her daughter all over again. She was going through unbearable pain and I was powerless to do anything to stop it, the only thing I could do was hold her, I rocked her back and forth as we sat there in each others arms.

"Esme, is there something you can give her to help calm her down?" I asked, I hated seeing Bella in so much pain.

"Edward, Bella needs to grieve for her daughter" Esme explained. I knew she was right. As Bella's sobs began to subside I found myself crying as well. We were locked together in our grief.
