Author's Note- All charecters (c) to Stephanie Meyer
And I used the actual dialogue from Breaking Dawn for some parts in this chapter, however I did not copy it word for word. Also, even though there were few reviews for my first chapter, they made my day, so keep reading and reviewing =D
I ran forward, snatching the child from Rosalie. She snarled at me and quickly the other vampires flocked to us. Rosalie crouched before me, ready to attack. I growled at her, hugging the baby girl close. Amidst all the chaos, I heard a faint heartbeat from upstairs. It seemed Edward had been able to revive the mangled Bella. A sudden wave of calm washed over the entire room, and I looked up to see Jasper standing in the doorway. Rosalie was still crouched before me, and she slowly straightened up. I didn't change the grip I had on the child at all. I felt her move and I glanced quickly at her. She pressed her palm against my check, and my eyes widened. An image of Rosalie was in my mind, did she put it there? I looked into her eyes. They were the same color as Bella's, a warm chocolate brown. I handed her to Rosalie grudgingly and watched her closely.
Rosalie snatched her out of my hands and clutched her close. Jasper stepped forward, and I noticed Alice follow him in. I tore my gaze from the child to the other two. Alice stood beside Jasper, and he watched me closely. An awkward silence followed. They were confused and wary from my sudden outburst. I didn't know how to explain it to them. Should I just come out and say it? I decided that would be the best way to end this silence. "I imprinted," I told them, looking back at the baby girl. They still remained silent, most likely because they didn't know what to say. I reached for Renesmee and Rosalie pulled her away from me with a glare. The baby pressed her palm to Blondie's cheek and I saw the same reaction. She shook her head at the child. "No," she told her and her mouth slid into a pout. I heard Jasper speak then, "Give her to him," he said quietly. Rosalie glared at him, and he looked back calmly.
I took the opportunity to snatch the baby from her again. She snarled at me and another wave of calmness rushed through the room. The door opened then and I glanced towards it. Carlisle came into the room, closely followed by his wife, Esme. Emmett followed them in and was immediately at Rosalie's side. "What's going on?" the doctor asked, his eyes falling on me, holding the newborn close to my chest. "The mutt says he imprinted," the blonde vampire hissed at him. He looked over at me and I nodded, holding her closer, if that was even possible. "Where is Bella?" he asked, looking towards the stairs. "She's up there," I told him, "Edward injected some of his venom in her, and I think he managed to save her." I stopped and searched for the heartbeat I had heard earlier. I found it and nodded. I could hear the light, fluttering heartbeat of the baby I held as well.
Carlisle nodded and disappeared up the stairs. We all watched him go and then I looked at Esme. She was watching the baby closely. "May I hold her?" she whispered, reaching for the baby. I remained motionless and I looked down at her. She nodded at me and I reluctantly passed the child to her. Esme smiled and wrapped the child into her chest. She cradled her and looked down at her. I kept my eyes on the baby as Esme rocked her slowly.

Three days passed, all in relatively the same way. I went to tell Sam what had happened, since a wolf couldn't kill the object of a brother's imprinting. I rarely went on patrols with Seth and Leah anymore, always at Renesmee's side or closely watching the people that were holding her. Blondie didn't like the fact that I was constantly with her. Renesmee was a pretty long name, and soon we had created a nickname for her, Nessie. She grew quickly, and then Bella awoke. I stayed downstairs with Rosalie while all the others went upstairs to greet the new Bella. The vampire Bella. Rosalie held Nessie as I waited nervously. When I thought of Bella now, I imagined the vicious newborns Victoria had raised. I would not let her near Nessie unless I knew she could control herself. The huge window that served as one of the walls was where I fixed my gaze. I saw Edward drop from the window, closely followed by Bella. I tensed in front of the baby until I saw them disappear into the woods.
All of the vampires came downstairs then, and we waited for them to return. Nessie was passed between all of them. Rosalie took her as Bella and Edward came out of the woods. I ran out to meet them. I was going to make sure Bella could handle being around a creature with blood and control herself. Seth and Leah flanked me as they came closer. "Careful, Jacob," Edward whispered, "Maybe this isn't the best way." I growled at him, "I'm not letting her near the baby first. I heal faster." Edward shrugged and I heard Leah snarl angrily.
I looked down at Bella. She was pale now, and looked completely different from the mangled creature I had last seen. Her eyes were frightening, a bright red color. "I must admit," I smiled at her, "You're pretty creepy." She smiled back at me, "The eyes are pretty scary aren't they?" I laughed at her, "Yeah, they're really creepy."
"Thanks for the compliment," she said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes, "You still look like you," I told her, "and it still feels like you're here too." I smiled at her, "I'll get used to your eyes soon enough." A confused look crossed her face, and I looked up at Edward. "Thank you for not telling her," I told him. "Maybe I think she'll get irritated and rip off your head," he said. "Whatever," I replied, taking a step towards Bella, "Let's get this over with." Bella cringed into Edward, "Hold me back," she whispered to him. She took a cautious sniff of the air. "Ugh, you stink Jacob!" she said, relaxing.
Edward burst into laughter and I could hear the others laughing back at the house. "Do I pass?" she asked me then. I nodded and turned towards the house.
Once we were in the house, everyone centered around the child, protecting her. Jasper was first, his eyes fixed on Bella. Nessie peered around all of the people in her way to see Bella. She twisted around and pressed her hand to Blondie's face. "Yes, that's her," she said quietly. Bella did the same as her daughter, straining to see her. "Please Edward?" she asked, turning to look at him. "Edward," Jasper cautioned. "There's no risk," Edward said smugly and everyone looked at him in confusion. "Bella won't hurt her," he added. "How can you be sure?" Carlisle asked. "While we were hunting, she came across some hikers," he began. I heard gasps from a few of the vampires. "Oh, Edward!" Esme exclaimed. "She didn't hunt them though," he said quickly, "I chased her and managed to stop her, and once she realized what was going on," he paused for a moment before finishing, "She turned around and ran away!" Carlisle's golden eyes widened and Jasper frowned. "Oh," Esme cried again, "She could have turned on you!"
Edward glanced at Jasper, "So you see," he said, "There is a very minimal risk here." Jasper looked at Bella; perhaps he was taking in her mood. "Okay," he said, stepping to the side. Bella took a step forward and everyone moved towards her. Nessie almost fell out of Blondie's arm trying to reach Bella. "Just give her to me," Bella growled, reaching out and grabbing Nessie. Everyone moved closer as Bella cradled her daughter to her. I was the closest besides Jasper and Edward. My eyes were fixed on her and I was tensed to snatch her away.
Nessie pressed her palm to Bella's face and she gasped. She looked around the room. "What did she show you?" Edward asked her with a small smile. "I think it was me," she said slowly. Edward's smile widened, "She's been waiting for you," he told her. Her eyes filled with confusion and he proceeded to explain about her ability. When he was finished Bella smiled down at her baby, "Well aren't you special," she told her happily. A smile spread across Nessie's face and she put her palm on Bella's face again.
Bella looked up at me once Nessie took her hand away from her. Her eyes met mine and her eyes clouded over. "You did not," she growled at me. How could she have found out? I snatched Nessie from her and Edward wrapped his arms around her waist. "You did not imprint on my baby!" she snarled at me. She took a deep breath, "Rose, take her." Blondie pried her from my grip and retreated to the other side of the room. "Let go of me, Edward," she growled and he slowly let go, going to stand in front of Renesmee with the rest of the vampires. "You know I can't control it," I said, holding up my hands as she took a step towards me. I backed out the door and across the lawn. "My baby!" she was growling, "How dare you!" I continued to back up until I was against the trees. I heard Seth and Leah approach me from behind, both of them growling.
"You will stay away from her," she snarled at me, her eyes flashing in fury. "I can't do that," I pleaded, raising my hands. "You will," she growled back. "Nessie likes me too," I told her, begging. Bella froze for a moment before she snarled, "What did you call her?" I flinched away from her, "Nessie?" I said cautiously. "You named my daughter after the Loch Ness Monster?" she screamed. She lunged at my throat and I crouched to the ground with my hands over my face. The tree I was backed against cracked under her attack. Seth and Leah lunged out of the forest at her and she fought back. She grabbed a hold of Seth and I heard a snap. "Bella!" I yelled, "Stop it!" I reached for her, grabbing her arm. She whirled around, her eyes wild with fury. It melted away when she saw me uninjured before her. She looked over at Seth crouched on the ground. "Oh my god!" she said, crouching before him. "Seth! Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" He whined softly and his tail tapped the ground.
Carlisle, Edward, and Emmett were there soon. "I'm so sorry, Seth," Edward said, "I should have stopped her earlier." Carlisle was crouched beside Seth, telling him he needed to phase so that he could mend him properly. Once Seth had phased, we all made our way back to the house where Carlisle set Seth up on the couch. She had only broken his shoulder and collarbone, not extremely serious injuries. I took Nessie outside with Rosalie close behind me. We both agreed that Bella should be kept away from her for a while. Bella didn't fight our decision, and I was glad.
