Chapter 2: Surprise

BELLA

I didn't manage to get Alice's plan from Edward last night, I was too preoccupied.

"Momma, daddy!" Renesmee was crying for us, I didn't want to move. My body was inclined into Edward's and I wanted to stay. Edward moved to get up, I moaned and he smiled at me. He pulled on a pair of khakis and walked out the room.

"Come on love" Edward said in a small whisper, any human wouldn't have heard it. I groaned and jumped off the bed and grabbed the closest piece of clothing, it was Edward's shirt. I slipped it over my stone body and walked towards Renesmee's room. Edward was cradling her in his arms; I walked over and kissed her on the head.

"What's up baby?" I asked and she put her hand to my face and replayed her nightmare. It was the Volturi coming to get her again, she often had this dream it was a curse and reminder of the worst month of everyone of the Cullen's existence. I wrapped my arms around her and Edward and held them close. The two most important people in my world I could never live without. I heard Jacob's arrival and heard him shift to his human form then the door slam.

"Morning all!" he shouted.

"We are in Nessie's room Jake" I replied. He ran as fast as he could into the room.

"Why what's wrong?" panic in his voice, he walked over to us and took Renesmee from our arms.

"Nothing Jake, calm down, she just had a nightmare" he held her tight against his chest and planted kisses on her head.

"Yes the one about the Volturi" Edward said answering his silent thought, Renesmee shuddered at the name and so did I. "Can you take her to Rosalie please? Bella and I where in the middle of something" Edward asked Jacob, I giggled and Edward picked me up in his arms.

"Yuck, yes I will, anything to get out of here… don't destroy the house" Jacob replied as he carried Renesmee out of the house, I heard him take off towards the Cullen's. I knew she would be fine with Rose and Jake for a few hours. I wanted more of Edward right now, no time for worrying. Edward carried me to our bedroom and we picked up where we left off.

We lay there for a while before I turned my head to look at the clock. It was 3 hours since I had seen Renesmee, I think it was time to get up, I slid of the bed and headed for our large closet. I grabbed some jeans and a top and some clothes for Edward. I slid mine on and threw the others at Edward 'sleeping' on the bed. His eyes fluttered open.

"Get dressed, time to go I'm afraid" I said and he leapt up and wrapped his arms around my waist, then kissed me. He stopped too soon and got dressed. He then grabbed my hand and we raced towards the Cullen's house.

I looked at Edward while we were running, we were nearly there and Edward had a huge smile on his face.

"What?" I asked. He laughed.

"Nothing, you'll see" we got to the house and there were white and blue balloons up on the door. The date was August 13th. Why didn't I remember that? It was our first anniversary. This time a year ago I was getting ready to marry Edward.

"This is what Alice was planning?" I asked Edward as we reached the house.

"Yup!" all I could do was laugh. I suppose this could be fun but Alice knew I hated surprises; I hated thinking what she had in store for today. "Smile" Edward whispered in my ear as we walked into the house. It was decorated in white and blue with candles and balloons. I must say it was very Alice and it looked amazing.

"Happy first anniversary!" everyone sang in chorus with each other, my whole family was there, all the Cullen's, Jacob and his pack, Seth, Leah, Embry, Quil with Billy, Charlie and Sue. Charlie and Sue married only last month so he knew all the legends of the wolves now, and he knew what I had become. I'll never forget the day he found out.

*1 month ago*

"Jake are you sure you want to take Nessie to the meeting? She might get scared" I asked Jacob.

"Bells calm down, she isn't a normal 4 year old, I'm sure she can handle a few frights about her loving caring vampire family" he winked.

"Yes but she is going to be the only vampire there, why are the elders letting her go?" it was a stupid question, I already knew the answer.

"She's my imprint Bella; all the imprints will be there" he replied.

"Ok ok just keep her safe and away from Charlie when he hears of the Cullen's, please" I replied, he nodded and Rosalie came down the stairs with Renesmee in her arms all dressed up and handed her to Jacob, I gave her a quick kiss and Jacob a hug and let them go. Rosalie and I walked into the cinema room and we sat down to watch a movie, we were having a girl's night, Alice and Esme would join us shortly, they were on a hunting trip. It got to about 11pm when I started looking at the clock every thirty seconds.

"Bella calm down, they'll be back soon, they must be having a lot of fun that's all" Rosalie reassured me. Rosalie and I had become so close since I found out I was pregnant with Renesmee. This is the way I liked it, I could never have a better friend and sisters than her, apart from Alice but she was always like that to me.

"Yeah probably" I replied. 11:32 and I heard the rabbit on the free way, I leapt up out of my seat and Rose grabbed my arm

"They'll be another 5 minutes yet, sit." I sighed and sat next to my very calm sister. How could she be this calm? My father has just found out what I was, I don't think he is going to take it lightly. "Bella, I'll be here for you all the way, relax" Rosalie said. I sat back and waited for the door to open. Edward and Jasper walked in the back door, I felt a sudden wave of calm and Edward's arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me off the couch. Alice walked over to Jasper and took his hand. Then Carlisle and Emmett came through the back and took their places next to their wives. This could only mean one thing, Charlie was here.

"Let me go in first Charlie, relax, they won't bite your head off" I heard Jacob say to Charlie and then heard him laugh nervously. Jacob walked in through the front door with Renesmee sleeping in his arms, her eyes shot open as Jacob came closer to us. She struggled in his arms and reached for me.

"Momma"

"Hey princess. Did you have fun?" I said.

"Yep, I don't think Grandpa Charlie likes me anymore though" she said sadly. Edward stroked her hair and whispered in her ear

"Don't worry sweetheart, everything will be ok, it's not your fault."

Then Charlie walked slowly into the house. He took a step towards us and stumbled back.

"Perhaps it's best if Esme, Emmett, Rose, Alice, Jasper and I step out. This could be overwhelming for Charlie" Carlisle said.

"Could Jasper stay please Carlisle?" Edward asked and both Carlisle and Jasper nodded and a sudden wave of calm hit us.

"And Rose" I said, Carlisle nodded and they all left and Edward, Jasper, Renesmee, Rosalie and I stood facing my very nervous human father. I was clutching tight to Rosalie's hand and my other holding Renesmee tight to my chest.

"Dad I –"

"Bella why did you want to be a… a… monster?" Charlie cut me off.

"I'm not a monster dad, there are good and bad vampires, the Cullen's are good" I replied.

"But, you knew Edward was a vampire when you met him?" He asked and Edward wrapped his arm round my waist. Charlie's eyes flickered to his arm and back to my face.

"Not when I met him but soon after, yes. But I fell in love with him dad, I didn't care what he was"

"Why you though? Why did you become like them?" he asked looking at Rosalie, Jasper and Edward.

"I wanted to be with Edward forever, and after I got pregnant with Nessie, vampire venom was the only thing that would save me."

"Yes Charlie, Renesmee is half vampire." Edward answered his silent thought.

"How did you know what I was thinking?" Charlie asked stunned.

"I have the ability to read minds, select vampires have abilities, mine is to read others minds, Bella's is to shield the mind, Jasper can affect your mood and emotions, as he is doing right now, that's why you are so calm and Alice can see the future."

"And mine is to show you things" Renesmee added with a delightful smile. Charlie looked at her blankly.

"See the future? Read minds?" Charlie asked looking around at us and then turning to Jacob. Jacob nodded. "This is crazy. That's impossible. That can't be right."

"It is very much right Charlie" Edward said. "I know exactly what you're thinking now, think of a number and I will know what it is… one thousand and thirty three… one hundred thousand and two… we could go on forever." Charlie took a step back.

"Jacob I think it's time for you to take me home" Charlie said and Jacob nodded and gave us a weary smile. Edward nodded at him in agreements to his thoughts. All I could think about was that my dad thought I was a freak and wanted to leave before I could explain properly. I sunk in Edward's arms and he caught me and Renesmee. If I could cry, I would have been. Edward picked me up, I still had Renesmee in my arms and she was stroking my cheek. Rosalie kissed my head and Edward then ran towards our cottage. After that, I didn't hear anything from Charlie for days. Eventually he decided to visit; he had been talking to Jacob and Sue and had begun to understand things. He wanted to hear it from us. Edward and I explained everything from the very first day we met to when Charlie saw me in my new body. Edward also told him some of his past. After that Charlie seemed ok with the fact his daughter was a vampire but I think he knew nothing would change it now and he had to live with it if he wanted me in his life.

*Present Day*

"Hey kid happy anniversary!" Charlie greeted me with a hug and a shiver, I laughed.

"Thanks dad" everyone came round to give us a hug and congratulations. Then Alice and Rose grabbed my hand and pulled me upstairs. I could only guess my sisters wanted to give me a makeover and dress me up, I was thinking of protesting but changed my mind, I'd let them have their fun. After only ten minutes I was changed and my hair and makeup was done.

"Aw Bells I don't get much to work with these days, it was so much more fun when you were human." Alice said, I laughed and stood up to look in the mirror, I was wearing a white knee length dress with a blue silk belt around the middle and tied at the back with a bow. It was a beautiful dress.

"Pretty mommy!" Renesmee skipped into the room wearing an adorable pink tutu and white top, she also had a bow in her beautiful long curls.

"Pretty Nessie" I replied to her and swept her up in my arms she smiled and I walked out of the room and we started descending the stairs. Edward was waiting for us at the bottom, he took us in his arms

"My two beautiful angels" he whispered in our ears. I giggled and Renesmee smiled then jumped out of my arms and went to see the other guests. Edward took me in his arms. "You look gorgeous" he said as his lips met mine, he stopped too soon as my dad and Sue walked in to the room.

"Damn" I whispered under my breath I knew Charlie and Sue wouldn't hear it but Edward would. Edward smiled.

"Hello Charlie, hello Sue"

"Hi Edward, Bella, my gosh Bella you look amazing" Charlie said, I smiled in return.

"Thanks" we moved into the room that now had a dance floor and DJ booth in and Edward pulled me to the centre of the floor and we started dancing to the music. The music changed to a slow song and I rested my head against Edward's chest. I looked around to see all my family in the room having fun, dancing and being happy. My life couldn't be any more perfect.
