16 years later Bpov

I have had three children with Edward. My Edward. The oldest child, Renesmee Carlie Cullen was so beautiful I needed more. I know that sounds weird but its true. I did survive the delivering. Perfectly human. Carlisle got Nessie safely out when he and Esme got back. Then about a year later I had Ana Maria Cullen. Not Cullen. Bisley. Aro demanded that two half human children were two much. Even though Nahuel's father had several. We were forced to give my precious Ana away. The very same day she was born. I will never forget the look on Edward's face that day. NEVER! Nerili was an accident but she was so beautiful. An almost exact replica of what I had imagined Edward as a human, only female. After Nerili, Aro said that I must become vampire so that I would stop conceiving children. If I did not obey he would murder my children. He took away my Nerili just like he did with Ana and paid humans to make sure that she did not get away.

After my change we had to move. We went to Denali and spent some time with Tanya's family. They were still mourning their lost sister at the fight for Renesmee. I think the only reason Aro took my children away was because he was smarting from the lost fight. I practiced projecting with Kate and fighting with everyone but Edward. I kept in contact with Charlie and Renee by email. Charlie got married to Sue. Jake traveled with us. He had imprinted on Renesmee and as much anger that gave me he made her happy. I have been a vampire for 44 years. Renesmee is 48 years old and she still looks like she is 17. same with Jake. Nessie was 17 at age 7. Not a day older. "Bella love time to go" Edward called breaking me out of my reverie. We were moving again. This time heading to Missoula, Montana for a few years and then heading to Forks again. Phil died about a year ago and I am guessing My parents are pretty close. So I am going back to see Charlie one last time and then Renee. It didn't rain every day in Missoula but there is fog and forest. Lolo National Forest. We were going to go to Big Sky High School and on the sunny days hunt in the forest. I heard there was Lynx there.

I hurried out of the room and down the stairs. Meeting Edward halfway and kissing him softly on the lips. He pulled back. "They're waiting." He said jerking his head towards the garage. "Oops" I said followed by snickering from Emmet. I growled, grabbing the bags and racing towards the volvo. I hugged Eleazer, Carmen, Kate and Tanya goodbye and leaped in to the front seat where Edward was already waiting. Nessie and Jake were in the back and Leah was pacing outside choosing not to be in a car with "bloodsuckers". Both Seth and Embry had found their inprints about 10-15 years back and had split the pack to be with them. Quil had lay down along time ago to be with Claire. She had turned into a beautiful young woman but none were as beautiful as my Renesmee. Renesmee with her father's hair and her mother's eyes. Renesmee the vampire/human hybrid. Renesmee who only got to see her little sisters a few ours after they were born. Before they were sent away from us forever. Renesmee is married. Renesmee Carlie Cullen is not Renesmee Carlie Cullen. She is Renesmee Carlie Cullen Black. My daughter is married to and deeply in love with my best friend. Jacob hadn't pushed it. Even though her mind and body were both mature enough by seven he waited until she was 18 years to even think about getting married. I love him for that.

This was the month of Ana's birth and my thoughts were consumed by her. I knew it was the same for Edward. There was agony written all over his face. Thankfully Nessie and Jake knew enough not to talk about it. It was times like these that I envied humans. I wished that I could sleep. Even for a few minutes. I needed to escape this never ending awareness. "You okay mom?" Nessie asked. I had been so deep in my thoughts that I did not realize I was shaking. I nodded not trusting my voice. Happy Birthday Ana. I thought .You are now 47 years old.

I imagined how she looks now. She was almost exactly a younger version of my child self. Chocolate eyes and wavy, mahogany hair. I imagined a slender small frame. Her vampire side made her even more beautiful than I was as a human. I am not being conceited but she is beautiful. And Nerili, oh my Li. She was just like Edward. Beautiful bronze hair, she is gentle, but the best part is her eyes. Emerald green, Edward's eyes. I only got to see them few hours but they took my breath away.

It was only a few seconds after that I realized the car had stopped. Renesmee and Jake were outside with Edward looking expectantly at the other cars, that the other members of the family were climbing out of. "Why have we stopped?" I asked Edward.
"Because Jake was hungry, we are going hunting."

"All of us?"

"We like to arrive in a new home at the same time." He answered. That was fine. I realized that my throat was suddenly roaring with heat.

I looked around. Jake was already in his wolf form with Renesmee and Leah next to him. Rosalie, Emmet, Carlisle and Esme were together and Alice and Jasper were zipping through the forest already.

"Ready?" Edward asked me.
"Could I have this time alone?" I asked him. I needed time to sulk for Ana and Li.
Edward nodded. He understood what I was talking about. Everyone else was gone. I waited as Edward ran into the forest, then ran in myself. Weaving through the trees and wheeling away when I caught a family member's scent. When I was well away from everyone else I stopped and tasted the air. Lynx. Perfect. I ran to the smell going so far it was a wonder I smelled it at all. The scent was strong but I could tell I was still far away. Then suddenly it got stronger. Blasting in to my face and sending fire up and down my throat. It was on a tree a couple hundred feet ahead. I couldn't see it though. Only the smell gave away it's position. I silently leaped onto a branch just above it and attacked. Someone screamed. It sounded like a human but there was none there. Then there was no Lynx. It was zipping away into the forest at a speed not possible. I thought to give it up but the thought of a good chase was to much temptation. I sped after it, using the scent as my trail. Once again I only smelled and did not see the animal. It was running at a speed that no mortal creature should be able to. I knew I got close enough when the scent was much stronger. I automatically gained the higher position. I heard it right underneath me. I leaped.

For the first time I saw what I had been tracking. I heard a scream again. But it was not a human. It was my own. The lynx was no lynx. It's body was small and slender. It had chocolate brown eyes and wavy, mahogany hair. It was my daughter. I landed on top of her, unable to move. She struggled against my weight. Then I was sobbing and I pulled her close. Close to me. The warmth of her skin was comforting. Still she pushed away from me.
"Ana" I said, "stop." She froze, then looked at me. I knew what she saw. The same color hair. The same face, kind of. I knew what she felt. Cold, rock hard skin.
H-how do you know my name?" She spat. She tried to be vicious but I could tell she was terrified. I picked her up. Gazed into that perfect face. she started fighting again. "Put me down you filthy flesh-eater!" She screamed. I heard running feet and ran to meet the footsteps. I saw Renesmee first quickly followed by a wolf Jake and Leah.
"What is it mom? Whats wrong?" Renesmee asked. She fell silent as she saw Ana. My Ana safe again. Then Edward, Alice and Jasper came. Jasper saw Ana looking surprised, Alice wore a bored expression and when Edward saw her he fell to his knees and sobbed. I had never seen Edward cry before. It was a pitiful sight. Rosalie and Emmet came dashing towards us, Rosalie stopped and stared, Emmet hugged her. All the while Ana was hissing and kicking and clawing and biting me I didn't even notice. If anything I held her closer. I could tell she was getting tired. She still had to sleep. I noticed things now that I had overlooked before. She was clawing! Where did she get claws? She had fangs, she smelled like a lynx, She... was bleeding! Oh no! "No blood!" I chanted over and over. There was nothing to bind her leg with. "Moss." She said. "Cover it with catnip and bind it with moss." Edward, realizing she needed something was up in flash a to get catnip. I didn't know where he was going to find it but sure enough he came back with a handful of catnip and a large piece of moss on his head. He went to work putting the catnip on the moss and rolling it around her leg. He bound it with a strip of bark he tore from a nearby birch.

"We should get to the cars." I said knowing Carlisle and Esme were probably waiting there. Ana had other ideas. The whole way back, which was quite far, she screamed and yelled at the top of her lungs. "No. Take me back! Let me go you ticks!" When we finally got back Jake and Leah were human. Jake was carrying a sleeping Renesmee, Ana was quiet and very tired but she was still awake and very aware.

"Who is this?" Carlisle asked.
"The poor child, why is she here?" Esme motioned for me to speak.
"She is my daughter." I said. So quiet , so soft I could barely hear it Ana spoke. "Why did you let the pale man take me away?" No one else heard her besides Edward and myself.
She was talking in her sleep. She remembered at least a little bit. We all climbed back in to the cars. Ana was on my lap. The car started. Renesmee leaned forward and put her hand on Ana's.
"Forever" Ana said. Again in her sleep. Renesmee fell back again smiling. I didn't know what Nessie showed her but whatever it was Ana liked it. The whole ride there I stared at her. She was so much more beautiful than I remembered. Her hair was mahogany like mine bot there were a few red highlights in it. There was even one stripe of black. Her eyes were the same though. They were not open now but I saw them when they were. The eyes that link her with her sister Renesmee, and me, and her grandfather, Charlie. Her hands were small and delicate with sharp claws naturally grown into points. How they were I have no idea. Her feet were bare and dirty but thankfully her toenails were not claws. Her clothing was, as Alice would say, as bad in taste as mine. A short-sleeved violet shirt with black shorts. Both were dirty and smelled as if she slept in a tree the whole day. I smelled another lynx on her. Maybe someone she was traveling with, but this one smelled like a child. There were other scents too. A tiger, maybe Bengal, a lion, and two more lynx scents. I have been to a zoo so I know what wild cats taste like but where in the United States of America would she be allowed to have 3 lynxes, a tiger and a lion? Then I realized something. Claws, fangs, lynx scent. I knew my daughter was more than human but what if she was more than vampire? I could just barely detect the sweet scent of a half human child. What is my daughter? Is she with more of her kind? How did she know we are vampires?

When we got to the house Edward and I picked our room and we gave Ana the room next to us. We lay her in the bed and closed the door. The back wall of the house was traditionally made of glass. I loved it that way. So much sunlight that we have to avoid when in public. Edward was in Ana's room all night. We both awaited the hour she would awake. Until then we would just have to wait.
