TEN MONTHS LATER

The sun had just set and the Cullens were all sitting together in the family room watching television. Edward cradled Bella on his lap and occasionally nipped at her ear, making her giggle. Alice was cuddled up next to Jasper who had his arm slung around her neck. Emmett and Rosalie were "engaged" in a very expressive type of PDA. Esme and Carlisle sat on the loveseat holding hands. Everything was fine until Alice had a vision. She turned to Edward and Bella.

"Nessie is going to try to sneak out," she said rather casually and then redirected her attention back to the TV.

Edward sighed, attempting to get up. Before he could, Rosalie had broken away from Emmett's mouth.

"Let me go," she instructed Edward. She made her way upstairs to find Nessie attempting to climb out the window.

"Who's the lucky boy this week?" Rosalie asked. Nessie halted and then turned around, her face blank.

"That's not your business." She emphasized the word your. There was a brief silence, but Nessie decided to break it. "Are you going to tell?" Rosalie rubbed her temples.

"What's gotten into you?" she asked. "Look, I get it that you're upset, ok. Jacob's gone, but that doesn't give you a right to act this way."

"I'm sixteen."

"You're immature," Rosalie replied coldly. "Not only is it a waste of energy, but it's a waste, period. Jacob's a sick dog! He doesn't deserve you."

Nessie picked up a snow globe on her nightstand and chucked it at Rosalie. She ducked in time, but in a few seconds time, the entire family had climbed the stairs and entered the bedroom. Emmett rushed over and embraced Rose, while the rest of the family just stared down Nessie, who stared back at them, her face stone-hard.

Finally, Edward broke the silence. "Renesmee, how dare you do something so violent. Apologize." His voice was hard.

Nessie scoffed, "Never. You're all nothing but a bunch of murderous hypocritical vampires." Her words stung all of them, but Edward stood strong.

"Jacob isn't worth any of this. He should've left a lot sooner than he did. My only regret is that you had to get hurt before he finally understood." Nessie's face was now red with anger. Before she could do anything, Bella stepped forward.

"Listen to your father, Renesmee," she said lovingly. "Jacob wasn't stable. He wasn't a very good influence." Nessie broke out in angry tears.

"How would any of you know!!" she screamed. "You don't know him! You don't give a damn what happens to him! I hate you! All of you!" With that, she stormed off. Edward stared at Bella for a while and then sighed.

A few hours later, Edward climbed into his Volvo and began to drive off. He didn't know where he was going, but he knew exactly what--more specifically, who--he was looking for.
