The years had gone by and Renesmee was 7 now. She was such a beautiful girl. And day after day, year after year, she continued to ask about her father.
"Mom, where's dad?" she questioned.
I thought she would be old enough to know. "Renesmee. Your father left me a very long time ago. But it is not because of you. He left before he even knew you existed." And with that tears started rolling down her face.
"Oh honey, don't cry" and I cursed Edward under my breath, too low for Renesmee to hear, for making my beautiful daughter cry.
"I have a question."
"You can ask me anything honey."
"Why didn't you just get rid of me. You had everything going for you. A scholarship, and an acception to the university you wanted to go to."
Anger rushed through me. How could she ever say or think that? "Renesmee, don't you ever question why I did this. How could I get rid of you. A beautiful innocent child. Your my little baby. You are my life. I love you so much, more than you can imagine."
"I'm sorry mom"
"What are you apologizing for?"
"For ruining your life."
"Renesmee Carlie Swan! Don't you ever say that ever again! You did not ruin my life! If anything you made it better. You brought happiness into me. Don't ever say that again okay?"
"Alright. I love you mom."
"Oh, I love you too renesmee. More that anything."
"Now that you know about your father, can we please just try to forget about him? Let's just live our lives, pretending like he never existed. Okay?"
"Okay mom. Sometimes I just wish I had a daddy. Like all the other kids in school." and I pulled her into a tight hug and we both started sobbing.
"I know sweetheart, I wish you had one too. Let's just try to forget about him okay?" I said hoping she'd let the subject go.
"Okay mom. I love you"
"I love you too sweety.
