He knew this day would come. He just hadn't prepared himself for it to be so soon. Edward sat like a statue in an armchair. In the next room his wife was helping their daughter get ready. This had all been her idea. She had said that she wasn't his little girl anymore. He'd tried to explain to her that she'd always be his little girl no matter how old she looked; it had only made her more determined.

Edward could still remember holding her in his arms and the way her tiny hands would felt in his; it had only been a few short months ago.

"Dad, do you like my dress?" Edward snapped out of his daydreams as Renesmee entered the room. Bella stood a few steps back her hands over her heart as she admired their beautiful daughter.

"Are you sure you wouldn't be more comfortable in a nice sweater set?" It was worth a try.

"Dad." She popped her hip out in annoyance; something she had learned from her mother. He frowned as he could hear The Dog walking through the forest towards the house.

"You look beautiful sweetie." Edward moved from his chair and kissed his daughter on the cheek. "Now, if he tries anything…"

"Dad, I'll be fine." There was a knock on the door.

He had known this day would come. He just wasn't ready to see his little girl going out on her first date quite so soon.
