And we're back! This is the ANGST FREE (YAY!) sequel to Breaking Twilight. It's mainly about healing, growing as a family, dealing with fame and there are a bunch of other fun things thrown in. Updating will be slow because I don't have many chapters prewritten but I'm hoping that I'll be able to update every day very soon :D

I have a bunch of ideas so It shouldn't be too hard to get a dozen or so chapters done.

Also, for new readers who don't want to read the other story (Breaking Twilight). It's not exactly necessary because there will be a bit of a recap in the first few chapters but I think you should.

And a very big thanks to Baandfam69 for the title of this story. I was having some trouble figuring it out and so I ran a poll and your title won. Thank you! :)

Also, last thing, I have a polyvore where all pictures of outfits/people/ baby mackenzie will be posted. It's linked on my page so check it out.

"I know, I know, this sucks," I cooed down to my daughter. "I'm going as fast as I can though."

Her little face was scrunched and red as she wailed at the top of her lungs. Yep, I was changing her diaper. As per normal baby behavior, she screamed as soon as she felt the cool air on her.

"Don't cry, love," I whispered, finally getting her diaper on. "It's all better now, see?"

She still wasn't happy but at least her cries had started to fade into soft whimpers. I rubbed her belly softly until she was completely calm again and smiled down at her.

"All better?"

She opened her eyes for a brief few seconds to allow me a peek at her baby blue eyes.

"Hi, beautiful," I kissed her cheek.

"Good Morning, Miss. Swan!" my nurse, Heather, greeted. "And I can't forget little miss Mackenzie, now can I? How is she this morning?"

"She's doing great,"

"Excellent." Heather beamed. Heather was a very bubbly nurse. She always seemed to have an abundance of energy whenever I see her and never failed to have a smile on her face. Working with babies would do that though.

I can barely stop smiling when Mackenzie is in my arms.

"Are you two ready to go home?" she wondered.

I nodded, "Oh, yes."

She laughed, "I just need you to sign this and you're free to leave."

I shifted Mackenzie into my left arm and quickly jotted down my signature.

"I'll give you a few minutes to get her set up and then I'll be back with a wheelchair."

I nodded and laid Mackenzie down on my bed.

After two days in the hospital, Mackenzie and I were finally free to go home. I was excited to be sleeping in my own bed again. The hospital was nice and all but I hated sleeping in their beds. It wasn't as comfortable as they made them out to be.

Excitement aside, I was a bit nervous about bringing Mackenzie home today. For the two days that we were in here, I took advantage of having the nurses around but now that I was going home, it was just Edward and I.

I was being silly, right? In many ways, Jackson was my first-born child. I learned all about newborns during the months that Alice and Jasper decided to take flight. So what was so different now?

This was going to be a cakewalk.

A very, very, tiring yet very fulfilling cakewalk

"Let's get you dressed so we can get out of here." I told Mackenzie as I reached into her car seat and pulled out her going home outfit.

Her going home outfit consisted of a pair of dark gray leggings that had pink, white, and green spots, a long short sleeve pink shirt with little kittens on the bottom of each corner, and a gray sweater with cat face hood.

It wasn't that cold outside but it was windy, I didn't want to take the chance of her getting sick.

"Who's my pretty girl?" I asked as I kissed her sock covered foot. "You are, yes you are."

She opened her eyes again

"Too much, eh?"

She closed her eyes.

"Have no fear the Godmother is here!" Angela announced, breathing heavily. "It's a madhouse out front. Took me fifteen fucking, excuse my language Mackenzie, minutes to get in here."

As per usual, the paparazzi have been camped out outside since the day I arrived here. I'm surprised they haven't learned by now that no one, celebrity wise at least, ever leaves the hospital via the front door after they've had a baby.

But hey, it's easier to sneak out since they're more focused on the front. I like not having to fight my way through. Especially now that I have Mackenzie to worry about.

"How bad is it?"

"How bad do you think it is?" she retorted. "The sexiest woman and the sexiest man alive have had a baby! Everyone wants the first picture of Mackenzie."

I laughed, "True."

"Look at you," Angela gasped. "She is such a cutie. Look at her little outfit, didn't I get this for her?"

"Yep."

"See, Aunt Angela has an eye for these things," she told Mackenzie. "I should get her more clothes. I saw some..."

"She's got way too many newborn outfits," I said. "We're already going to have to give her several outfit changes so that she can wear everything at least once."

"I'm okay with that," Angela said, grasping Mackenzie's little fist. "We can have a fashion show."

Mackenzie scrunched up her nose.

I giggled, "That's my girl."

"Clearly." Angela said with a roll of her eyes. "God I can't believe you have a kid."

"I know, it's insane," I agreed, staring down at my baby girl.

"Remember we use to say we'd have kids at the same time so they'd be best friends?"

I nodded.

"I want one so bad, and not just because of our little promise. I'm getting old."

I rolled my eyes at her, "You aren't even in your thirties yet, stop complaining."

"In a few years I will be."

"Five years," I said. "You have five years until you hit your thirties. Besides, it's acceptable for woman to have babies in their thirties."

"But I want four."

"I'm the wrong person to be complaining to. You should talk to Ben about it. He seemed really happy when he was holding Mackenzie."

"He doesn't want kids yet," she sighed. "Another promotion is up for grabs and he's once again working his ass off to get it."

"Hey, all you need is the baby gravy..." I teased.

"You think I should?"

"No, I was kidding," I said. "But talk to him about it, a real conversation. Not one of those text message conversations you two only seem to be having these days."

She snorted, "Yeah, then I'll never have a kid. Getting an appointment with Ben is like trying to find a seven leaf clover."

"It's not impossible."

"It's almost impossible." she retorted with a sigh. "But you're right. I'll try. I've got a couple tricks up my sleeve."

"I bet."

"How would you feel if I kidnapped her and moved to Alaska?"

I cuddled Mackenzie closer, "I would hunt you down and kill you, best friend or not."

Angela pouted, "Fine, I'll let you have this one."

"Wow, thanks."

"Alright, Miss. Swan," Heather came in with the wheelchair. "Ready to go?"

"Just about," I confirmed.

While I buckled Mackenzie into her car seat, Angela ran around the room picking up the gifts I had been sent. And believe me, I had a lot of them. Every person I ever met sent me either flowers, balloons, or a teddy bear plus I hear some fans left gifts down at the front desk.

Angela had her arms full, that's for sure.

"Okay so the plan is you'll switch cars with Carlisle and Esme and they'll play the distraction," Angela explained as we got in the elevator. "Once its all clear, you guys can head home without any problems. At least that's if everything goes well."

"It will," I said, confidently.

"Fingers crossed," Angela agreed. "I'll see you in a few days, most likely Friday."

"You know you can come over whenever you want."

"You two need time to get adjusted to life with a baby," she explained. "Don't worry, I'll be over bright and early on Friday."

I made a sour face, "Eh."

"How does noon sound?"

"Perfect."

"I love you, girlie," Angela leaned down and kissed my cheek. "I'll see you in a few days."

I nodded, "Take care."

Angela made her way out of the front of the hospital while Heather and I went the opposite way. We met Edward, Carlisle, and Esme out back. Carlisle and Esme were already seated in our car while Edward was causally leaning against his parent's rental.

"Good Afternoon, Daddy," Heather said, swooning.

Yeah, my nurse had a big crush on him. I can't blame her either. He was pretty damn sexy.

"Good afternoon," Edward greeted, taking our baby girls car seat from me. He held it in his left hand and helped me up with his right. I grimaced as I felt some discomfort.

I may have had a lot of experience in the baby-raising department but the pregnancy part was all-new to me. I didn't even realize half of the stuff that Leah went through during her pregnancy.

Of course, I wasn't completely in the dark about being pregnant but I figured it would go smoother than it did. Don't get me wrong, we had no complications during labor. I didn't tear or bleed excessively and Mackenzie's weight and apgar score was perfect.

I just didn't factor in how I would feel post baby.

Silly, right?

It wasn't too bad. I was just really, really sore. And kind of deflated, does that make sense?

"You okay?" Edward asked, worried.

"Yeah, I'm just sore."

"Oh, that's normal," Heather quickly explained. "It'll be a few days but it'll fade away eventually. But please, feel free to call me if you have another questions or problems."

She was staring at Edward as she said this.

"I can make a home visit, if need be."

I rolled my eyes at her and smoothed down my shirt.

"I'm sure we'll be able to manage," Edward politely said. "We've got more than enough mothers around if we need assistance."

"Oh, well, the offer is still there."

"Thanks," I said. "Goodbye."

"Oh, okay," she blushed, biting her lip. "Congratulations."

"Thank you," Edward beamed, looking down at our sleeping baby girl.

I smiled too.

After Heather allowed herself one last ogle, she went back inside. Edward took that time to buckle Mackenzie into her seat.

"We're just about ready to go," I told Carlisle and Esme.

"Do you know the plan?" Carlisle asked.

"You'll lead them away and we'll go?"

He nodded, "Es will give you a call when the coast is clear."

"Sounds good," I agreed.

"Be careful, honey," Esme said, giving me a soft hug.

"You too," I said, seriously.

If all went well, they'd be the ones with the eight hundred cars trying to follow them.

I backed up and they took off.

I rubbed my stomach as I made my way back to Edward. It was so weird not having her inside me anymore. I felt empty.

I pouted.

"What's wrong?" Edward asked, wrapping his arms around me. I leaned back against him and sighed.

"It's just weird," I explained. "I'm use to having her close."

My hands dropped to my stomach again. It felt like jello, all squishy and gross. I grimaced.

I wasn't too concerned about my body at this point. Leah went into a crazy 'I need to get my body back' after she had Eli. She was working out like crazy and she eventually joined Rosalie and I for yoga.

She was one of those girls that once they gained weight, it was nearly impossible to lose it.

I don't know how I'll be, I gained a bit of weight all over, but again I'm not too concerned at this point.

"She still can be close," he said, kissing my hair. "But now I get to have her close as well."

"I guess I do have to share, huh?"

"Yes," he said. "Let's get ready to go. They should be calling us any minute."

I decided to sit in back with Mackenzie on her first trip home. She was asleep when we got the go-ahead call but the ringer scared her and she was jolted awake.

She screamed at the top of her little lungs until she was bright red in the face.

"Ssh, baby girl," I soothed, softly stroking her cheek. "It's alright."

"Should I wait?"

"No, go ahead," I instructed. "I've got her."

I leaned over her seat and kissed her head, trying my best to calm her. Surprisingly enough, it was pretty easy this time around. Simply talking to her and touching her was enough to calm her down.

"All better." I grinned, kissing her soft skin again.

Babies have the best skin.

On our drive home, I stared at Mackenzie like a creeper but since she's my daughter, it's allowed. I studied her face intently and couldn't help but smile at her.

It's so crazy that she's finally here.

Just a year ago, my future was so up in the air. I didn't think any of this would be happening. Things between Edward and I were...messed up at best. We went through the biggest rough patch any couple probably ever had to go through.

We went from being happy to hating each other.

Looking back on it now, it was obvious as to what was going on. I just didn't want to see it.

Edward had a drug problem that affected him big time. He lost everything, including me, because of it. He acted like most drug addicts would, or at least that's what I'm assuming. I haven't met many addicts.

He denied he had a problem, he thought it was all about moderation, and he didn't want to stop.

I tried to help him but it wasn't fast enough, not in my opinion at least. I hadn't even realized what he was doing until it was too late, until he was in too deep.

The world felt like it was caving in on me. It wasn't just Edward's issues that I worried about, I had other things getting in the way, including my own depression.

I was headed for a meltdown, it was inevitable. I owe some thanks to my mother for help in that department. She was the one who kicked me into gear.

I wrangled up the shattered members of my band and made them see light. Not on my own of course, I had plenty of help from my dad.

Fast forward three months and things are so much better.

Jasper took responsibility for his son again. He's an amazing father despite the rocky start. You would never know just how bad things were at one point for him.

Edward went to rehab, for me. Some may say that it wasn't the right reason. He should have gone because he wanted to better himself but I was just happy that he was clean once again.

He was my Edward.

The temperamental asshole that had took his place months before was dead.

It wasn't until then that I saw our future together again but even then, I didn't see Mackenzie coming this soon.

I wouldn't change anything though.

I was glad she was here. She's only two days old and I can't picture my life without her.

"Welcome Home, Mackenzie." Edward announced with a smile.

I looked up as we pulled up to our security gate.

"It's pretty neat here," I told her. "I think you'll love it."

"Your room is a bit pink, thanks to your mom of course," Edward chuckled.

"That's all Aunt Angela and Aunt Leah," I said, shaking my head. "I was just easily swayed by the chocolate bananas they offered in exchange for free rein on the nursery."

I love me some chocolate bananas.

I think I'll make a few tonight.

I was fairly normal in the craving department. The weirdest thing I wanted, in Edward's opinion, was a gummy bear and peanut butter sandwich. He thinks its gross, I personally think they're amazing.

"Ah, it's good to be home," I sighed, content.

I was proud of my house. It was gorgeous and comfortable. It was still pretty big for two people but it wasn't overly large. It was three stories, two of which were visible front the front yard, seven bedrooms, eight baths, a large pool and patio area plus it had about four acres of land beyond that.

It was expensive too.

The only problem I had with it was that it took forever to unpack and furnish. Every room, whether it was being used or not, was designed and set up accordingly.

But it was worth it.

"I've got her," Edward assured me as I slipped out of the backseat. "You go on in."

"No surprise parties, right?" I asked, suspiciously.

I can see our friends and family doing something like that. It was easy enough to park the cars at either Jake or Jasper's house and walk over here.

I would love company but not a party. I looked awful right now. I was dressing for comfort not anything else. I was wearing a long multicolor maxi skirt and an American eagle denim button down. My hair was a knotted mess at the top of my head.

"Not this time," Edward promised.

I relaxed, "Cool because all I want to do is shower, eat, and sleep. If that little one will let me, of course,"

I left Edward to get Mackenzie out of the car while I slowly made my way into the house.

Someone, I'm not sure who, had made sure to clean up the mess from the barbeque. I didn't have a mess in the kitchen nor did I have one in the backyard. Even all of Mackenzie's gifts had been organized and placed in proper spots in her room.

I owed a big thanks to whoever cleaned this place up for me.

I bet it was Esme.

Speaking of Esme...

"Are your parents coming over tonight?" I asked Edward as he came into the kitchen carrying Mackenzie.

"They want to give us a couple days to adjust," he said, shaking his head 'no'.

I pouted, "Aren't they going back home on Friday, though?"

My dad had to leave this morning because being in Forks meant that there were little officers available. It didn't help that two of his officers were hurt in an accident while they helped out in Tacoma.

I was sad to see him go but he promised he'd come down again as soon as he was able, or I was free to come down with Mackenzie. I had plenty of people wanting to meet her.

It'd probably be a while though. I wasn't too keen on the idea of bringing my newborn out in the open just yet, maybe in a few weeks.

"Saturday," he said. "I think. It could be Sunday but don't worry, they'll be back," Edward chuckled. "Mackenzie will make sure of that."

I grinned.

Esme had already warned me that she was planning to come down as often as possible. She, like me, didn't want to miss a moment of Mackenzie growing up. I already have been told to take at least a dozen photos a day for her.

"How's she doing?" I asked, wrapping my arms around Edward's waist.

"She's doing great so far," he said, shifting her so that she was sitting in the nook of his arm. Her eyes were wide open and she was looking around her new surroundings.

Eventually, she grew bored and her eyes drooped a bit. Seconds later, she scrunched up her face and took a dump.

Nice.

"Daddy gets the first change," I said, patting Edward's stomach.

"I'm not as good as you are at it," he grimaced.

"Ha, nice try, buddy," I said. "You first then me. I need my rest."

Edward sighed, "How can something so cute, smell so bad?"

"She'll smell good once you change her," I said. "Come on. I'll stand by to instruct you."

We brought her into her room and Edward laid her down on the changing table. After gathering a diaper and wipes for him, I settled into one of the white recliners and let him work his magic.

"It gets worse," Edward groaned, holding his nose.

"Stop being a whimp and change her," I pushed, giggling.

Edward was excellent at diaper changing. He worked fast. He cleaned her up, put on some baby powder, and fastened her diaper in under three minutes.

He definitely needed to take diaper duties.

"See, that wasn't so bad," I laughed as I too Mackenzie into my arms. "Thank you, Daddy."

Edward kissed her cheek and went to chuck the diaper in the garbage.

Mackenzie, though freshly changed, was whimpering softly. She hasn't been fed since early this morning so I figured that was the problem. I forced myself up and grabbed one of my baby shower gifts, a breast feeding pillow, before heading to my bedroom to feed her.

"What the hell is that?" Edward asked, collapsing on the bed next to me.

"A breastfeeding pillow." I explained.

"It looks like a floaty." he snickered, poking it.

"You're such a dork." I laughed, situating Mackenzie on the pillow. I lifted up my shirt and raised her head to my nipple.

Mackenzie was a natural at breast-feeding according to one of the doctors at the hospital. She took to it with no problems whatsoever. At first, I did. I wasn't so sure if I wanted to do it because it wasn't exactly the most comfortable thing to do.

But in the end, it's about bonding so I wanted to give it a try.

"Does it still hurt?" Edward asked.

"A little," I said, fixing Mackenzie's position.

Once she finished eating, I pulled my top back into position and held Mackenzie out to Edward. I was an expert at burping, Edward not so much. He looked like you were asking him to murder someone.

"You got to give it a try."

"I don't want to hurt her."

"You won't," I promised. "Which way do you want to do it?"

The nurses had taught us a couple ways we could burp Mackenzie. My favorite was the simple over the shoulder burping. One of the ways that was shown to us was kind of weird in my opinion. I tried to sitting up burping method. From an outsiders point of view, it looks like you're choking the baby so that one was a no go for me.

"Shoulder."

I placed the burp rag on his shoulder and moved to help him get her in position.

"Alright, you know what to do."

Edward slowly starting patting her back, his hand barely making contact with her back.

"You can do it harder."

Edward went a bit harder.

"Excellent," I said.

Edward was still stiff as a board but at least he was using the right amount of force to burp her.

When she let out a loud burp, I grinned at him and clapped, "See? You did it. Both of you,"

"That's my girl," Edward told her.

I watched with a content smile as Edward peppered her little face with kisses. It never failed to make me smile when I see those two together.

I sighed, happily.

Life was pretty damn great.

A few quick things. This story is mainly sugary sweet, meaning very little drama; nothing huge like in Breaking Twilight. Second things is I'm not a mom nor have I ever been pregnant (At least not yet) so all of my facts and whatnot come from Google and babycenter, mainly babycenter. Third thing, Don't you just love daddyward? He's one of my top three favorite Edward's (Mobward, Daddyward, and tattooward.).

And Edward's point of view is next

Next update should be either tonight or tomorrow, I read through it and I feel like I need to rewrite some parts sooo I don't know how long that could take.

Review.
