I smiled as I thought about how perfect my life was now. I had a loving family, a beautiful daughter and the rest of eternity with Edward. Edward. I smiled again hearing him next door trying to persuade Nessie to sleep, a challenge that never failed to amuse me.
"Nessie just close your eyes and try to sleep" he whispered in a hushed tone.
"I'm not tired" she replied angelically.
"I'll play your lullaby for you or maybe…"
"I'm not tired!"
"Renesmee you are going to sleep now whether you feel like it or not". His previously calm, velvet voice had been replaced with his stern don't-mess-me-around-any-more voice, bringing a smile to my lips.
"Fine" she sighed "I'll try but I'm not promising."
Edward sighed in relief, kissed her forehead, and whispered "Goodnight". He softly closed her door and within a fraction of a second was stood at the foot of our bed, pinching the bridge of his nose. I crawled to the end of the bed and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Did she go down okay?" I smirked.
He smiled my favourite crooked smile "No she's as stubborn as her mother."
I arched an eyebrow, pouted my lips and folded my arms over my chest.
"However... she's also caring, intelligent and extremely beautiful" he murmured whilst gently tracing his baby finger along my cheekbone. I smiled at him and he pulled me into his arms. I sank into the embrace and he playfully nipped my neck and wrapped his arms around my waist. I leaned back and gazed into his warm butterscotch eyes.
"I love you Bella" he whispered.
"Love you more" I murmured.
"That's Impossible."
