Authors note:hello, okay, so I couldn't wait for reviews and decided to write it now anyway, so if you thought the funeral scene (which was just a basic inspiration) was bad, you may have your opinion proven or disproven, so here it is…(this is just the first chapter I'm working on the others right now)

Prologue:

Aro sat silently, deep in thought, staring into nothingness, but seeing everything, Caius slouched in his adjacent throne, and gazed up at his brother, "what is it you are seeking?" he asked his smooth voice radiating throughout the large space, "do you search again for a way to indoctrinate the Cullens?" he asked, Aro merely shook his head, "they're talented I would agree, but they are adamant, I doubt we will sway them, but I have given some thought to that hybrid of theirs, Renesmee," he dropped his voice at her name, and looking directly into caius' eyes continued to muse, " she's very bright, and there is no doubt that her ability is infinitely unique, likely, when she matures it will become more than a sharing device, maybe she will be able to communicate at great distances, or project her thoughts to sway others in her way, imagine the possibilities!!!!!" Aro's voice echoed triumphantly around the chamber, and he beamed down at Caius, and Marcus," and then there are the Quilettes…maybe we could lure them both here, I think we may have a mission for Demitri…"

Chapter one

Bella, entered the cottage looking as ravishing as ever, here new grace had been unsettling to me at first, but now it seemed like she was meant to be one of us, as If she were born for the life of a vampire, a life with me. "Hello Love, how was the hunt?" I asked her smiling up from Renesmee's bedside, she was asleep, and when Bella was gone, sometimes I'd go into Renesmee's room to watch her sleep, as I once had for her mother. Bella smiled down at me and knelt next to me on the floor, "good, Emmet nearly lost his arm to a grizzly, but I haven't felt this full in a long time" she smiled, content swimming in her golden eyes that now matched mine, I reached down and clutched her hand in mine, and we were both silent listening to Renesmee's soft breathing, and the steady thrum of her heartbeat. She was so beautiful when she slept, like she was entirely human, she had her mother's eyes and curly hair, but in the same bronze as mine, her lips and heart shaped face were Bella's as well, she was our love embodied in a sweet innocent form, one that would remain with us forever, I turned my head, and reached up and cupped Bella's face in my hand, and kissed her, "GROSS!!!" Renesmee interrupted suddenly, and we both turned to look down at her, she smiled impishly and rolled her eyes, she was a better actress than I gave her credit for, "good morning" I smiled," how long have you been up?" I asked her trying to hide my smile, and failing. "since you came in 3 hours ago" she answered smiling again, I tousled her curls and lifted her up in my arms, time to go to the rest of the family, I grunted, surprised by how much more she weighed than the night before, Bella looked at me significantly, I raised an eyebrow and looked briefly down at Renesmee, then back at Bella, she smiled, "how would you like to spend the day with Jacob?" she asked innocently, there was one benefit of Jacob imprinting on Renesmee, free babysitting whenever we wanted it, of course Renesmee smiled and nodded enthusiasticly.

Once we had returned to the cottage having left Renesmee in Jacob's care, Bella grabbed me and promptly ripped my shirt off, tackling me on the floor, I smiled up at her, "well, it looks like someone missed me" I commented, she responded by leaning in and kissing me.

When we were finished, we just lay on the bed together, I wrapped my arms around her and buried my face in the sweet scent of her long mahogany hair, and she smiled, "is this real?" she asked softly, I smiled remembering when I had left her, and when I returned, I had had to spend hours convincing her she wasn't just dreaming, it made me realize how much we really loved each other, and how I could, and would, never leave her again. I kissed her tenderly at the base of her neck above her creamy collar bone and she sighed and ran her hand through my hair, smiling again, I thought for a moment about how she would have blushed doing that if she were still human, it was one of the few things about her I longed for that I would never see again, but it had been worth it, not only could I have her forever, but now we had Renesmee too, it almost seemed to good to be true, that we, vampires, the embodiment of sin were allowed to be so happy. Of course there was always danger, the Volturi, rival covens, humans discovering us, but they were all insignifigant in comparison to the love we had, that we would protect for eternity. I smiled down at her again, as deliriously happy and disbelieving of my wonderful fortune as ever, I stroked her cheek "I love you" she whispered looking up at me, "and I you." I replied, she snuggled into my chest and closed her eyes, and she lifted the shield around her mind, a flood of memories engulfed me, memories of her and I, in the meadow, in the car on the way home from Port Angeles, our wedding, our honeymoon, me lying with her while she slept, me saving her from James, and Victoria, being together in the hospital, our first kiss, before and after she was changed, so many, flashing across her mind, but I felt her shield creeping back in, she did that for me sometimes, she'd lift her shield so I could see her thoughts and memories, usually when she didn't have words to explain, but it always came back, it was very hard to push off, I knew that, she explained it so I would understand why she didn't do it more, but this was only one feature of her her shield, she could extend it around all of us, and single out enemies, without shielding them, but only against ,mental attacks, physical attacks were impossible for her to impede with her mind, but I would protect her, even though she was just as strong as me, I had to protect her, a life without Bella would be less than a half life, it would be nothing, we were one, I knew we couldn't survive apart, I needed her more than a human needs air, and from her thoughts I knew she felt the same, soul mate couldn't begin to describe her.

Bella looked at me with an impish smile on her lips "what are you thinking about?" she asked, I laughed, "how much I love you," I answered, she leaned into me and grinned, "and how much do you love me ?" she asked, "more than anything that ever existed or ever will exist" I answered seriously, she kissed me again, and I held her imagining her heartbeat from long ago when it was real.

When we got to the main house, Esme and Carlisle were on the couch in the living room reading, Jasper and Alice were playing chess, I could hear Rosalie upstairs thinking about Emmet in ways I really wished I could tune out, and Emmet reading a sports magazine, and regrettably thinking about Rosalie. The fact that none of us slept left us with more time on our hands than most people, so we learned more in 1 year than most people in a life time, spending all our extra time hoaning our skills. Bella grabbed my hand and led me to the grand piano in the corner, "play it for me?" she asked, referring to the lullaby I had composed for her when I first realized that I loved her, I answered by sitting down and placing my hands on the keys, I struck the first chord, and then melted into the melody, ii heard her sharp intak of breath were I sped up near the end, and saw the smile in her eyes when I glanced at her, when I was finished she sighed, "I always loved that" she whispered, and she wrapped her arms around me and buried her face in my neck, I reached up and stroked her hair, could life get anymore perfect? I wondered.

But then it was all shattered.

Alice's face was a mask of terror, she looked up from the game suddenly, her eyes clouded over as she watched the future, "Alice what is it?" Bella asked as I read Alice's mind, "I can SEE Renesmee!" she answered her voice full of fear, and surprisee, I choked out "NO!!!!" really loudly as I read her thoughts, I knew this, this vision, but it had changed, there was Renesmee, she was in someone's arms, I'd once thought they were Jacob's, but it had been too blurry to tell,(Alice couldn't see shape shifters or Renesmee, and that in itself was terrifying) but now there was a face, it wasn't anything like Jacob's, it was one I knew though, it was Aro, leader of the Volturi, but then the vision kept going, there was Renesmee, her face was full of pain, and fear, there was Caius, laughing at her, but there he was, his teeth penetrating the flesh on her neck, then there was the final scene, she was lying on the floor of the Volturi's castle, she was still, her lips had faded to pale pink, her hair was limp, her eyes were empty, and I could hear the silence of her heart, and smell the blood that soaked the floor "no!" I exclaimed, but from the expression on everyone's faces I knew Alice had just finished telling them, I was so caught up in her vision that I hadn't realized she'd been speaking, "can we do anything?" Carlisle asked, Alice looked defeated, she shook her head, Bella broke into dry sobs, I had to be strong, I could save her, I knew I could, I had to, I held Bella while she sobbed into my chest. "Bella, love, it's going to be alright, we're going to save her, we can still save her! Alice's visions are subjective, nothings definite yet, right?" I asked turning to Alice, but by the look in her eyes, and the way she was trying to hide her thoughts that there was almost no way we could, but we HAD to, Renesmee was everything, she was our baby, I knew we would never forgive ourselves if this vision came true, I knew that eternity wasn't long enough for that pain to dull….we had to save her.
