Chapter 4
I stood paralyzed as I had watched Renesmee dream. Why had she dreamt of something so frightful and heart breaking? I shook my head. Had Jacob told her something? I hated to think that something was troubling my baby. I wish she could live a normal life, one without fear and prejudice. I rocked her in my arms, humming the lullaby Edward had written her.
She yawned, opening her eyes half way. She sighed; she had known I had seen her dream. Squirming anxiously, I sat her down on the couch. I looked at her with sad eyes. "Did Jacob tell you something that was disturbing to you dear?" I asked curiously. She hesitated, but knew I didn't appreciate her lying to me. She nodded. "Well what did he say, baby?" I replied to her response. I waited silently, letting her decide how she would tell me.
"He said that the wolves might come because they're different. He promised he wouldn't let them hurt me and he knows you would never let me get hurt or taken away. I'm sorry momma, I was just nervous. It seems that every one is curious about me. I don't mind helping them understand." Renesmee spoke softly. I smiled at my kind- hearted baby girl.
"Well you can't help every one, love. What will you do if you go to school or are out and about in the city?" she paused.
"I know I have to protect us, besides we're moving soon anyways. I do understand the jeopardy I'm putting you all in, my family in. My lips are sealed." She giggled.
"I know you understand dear. Just don't worry too much. Now go and get Aunt Rose. She'll make your breakfast for you. I've to go find daddy." I kissed her cheek and turned for the porch.
I found Edward sitting on the steps. He was sitting lifelessly; I imagined he was thinking about something. I sat next to him, laying my head on his broad shoulder. He buried his face in his hands. He grunted irritated a bit. "Ugh, I will never be able to keep my family safe, will I?" he chuckled.
"Edward, love you're doing just fine. Don't worry okay. Now do you know where Jacob left off too? I need to have a talk with him." He squinted his eyes.
"Yea hun, he just left, if you run you'll catch him." I nodded, after kissing his soft lips. I darted into the forest noticing Jacob in seconds. I called ahead to him, soon reaching his side.
"Oh hey Bella, what's up?" He asked. I squinted my eyes at his question.
"Jake you know why I am here. Don't play innocent now. I know Renesmee is "yours" or whatever, but some things should not be said. She's a year old for crying out loud. She doesn't need all that worry and stress thrust upon her in that way." I exclaimed.
Jacob gasped. "Nessie's worried? Bella I'm so sorry. I have to make her feel better." He walked toward my direction and I grabbed his shoulder stopping him. I pushed him back toward the other direction; where he was heading in the first place.
"No Jake, she'll be alright. Go take care of your things. She'll be here when you get back." He stared worriedly into my eyes. He nodded slightly, turning the other way and I rushed back home.
