Bella

My heart would have stopped if I had one. My daughter just told me she hated me. I couldn't grasp if she were just saying it out of anger or if those were her true feelings.

Jacob was already on her trail. Edward was at my side in a fraction of a second.

"Bella-"he started.

I held up my hand, and then looked up at him with a weak smile. The rest of the family was lost for words.

"You should go to talk to her Bella." Carlisle suggested.

"And say what? There's nothing I can say to her…"

It was getting late, so I decided to walk towards the cottage. Walk, not run. Edward was still by my side, but was quiet as a mouse. When we reached our house, I hesitated to go inside.

"She's sleep." Edward whispered.

Then I walked in and went straight to our room. As I laid in my bed, I remembered all the times Nessie was a little girl, her words "I love you Mommy." rang loudly in my ears. Her new ones rang louder. Edward wrapped his arms around me.

"What are you thinking?" he asked.

I didn't look at him. I answered his question by pushing out my shield.

Bella

It's been a week since our encounter with Renesmee and Jacob. They were watching a movie in the living room. She hasn't said one word to me. Alice, Rose, Em, and Jazz went shopping, due to Alice's begging. Carlisle and Esme were in the office. I just got off the phone with Charlie and Edward was playing the piano.

The doorbell rang.

Edward rushed to get it. Carlisle and Esme swiftly made their way into the room.

When Edward opened the door it was a girl with a black hoody on, soaking wet from the pouring rain. She wasn't shivering though I'm sure she had to be cold the way she was drenched.

"Hi…I know you don't know me but...gosh I'm sorry I don't know how to say this…"

"Come in, Come in" Edward's voice like velvet.

He led her to the love seat and sat next to her. Renesmee and Jake turned their attention to her. Esme brought her a blanket, some hot tea and a sandwich.

"Oh, no thank you." Her voice sang.

She was pale, with honey hair as long as mines. She was beautiful. Almost neck and neck with Rose beautiful. She indeed was a vampire, and she looked so familiar.

"I am Chelsea. I was apart of the Volturi, but I left because, I just wasn't happy there, and I don't know where to go. Aro had my mate Afton killed. I couldn't bear it. I don't want to be a monster anymore; I don't want to kill people." She pleaded.

"Chelsea, you most certainly welcomed here…" Carlisle responded.

"Thank you so much." She smiled.

She was even more stunning, but she also seemed like a nice person.

"OH-EM-GEE! Your hair is such a cute color! Did you dye it?" Renesmee gushed.

Chelsea and her began a deep conversation and Jake returned his attention to the television.

Edward pulled me into his arms and Chelsea's eyes locked on us. But I pretended not to notice. Soon Carlisle began to engross in the conversation and Esme joined not too long after.

"Nessie seems to like her." I whispered.

"Mmmm yes, she likes the way she looks and acts, almost like the big sister she will never have."

I sighed.

An awkward silence fell across the room minutes later.

"It's Bella right?"

I perked my head up.

"I've spoken to everyone but you" She smiled apologetic.

I broke free from Edward and took Renesmee's seat next to her on the loveseat. Renesmee rolled her eyes and sat back next to Jacob on the couch. Edward shot her a warning glance.

"I'd like to know more about you. Your famous you know." She giggled playfully.

"Really? Well what do you want to know?" I smiled.

"How do you do it?" she looked around.

"Do what?"

"You have everything…money, cars, family, a wonderful husband and a beautiful daughter, you even have a dog!"

Jake glared at her for a quick moment then turned back around.

"How did you get so lucky Bella? I wish I were you…"

If I could blush I would have.

"Thank-you…But at night, I review the day's events and ask myself the same question." I confessed.

"So were you scared?" Chelsea asked eagerly.

"Of?"

"When you were pregnant with her silly! Can't you read minds?" she questioned.

"Oh no that's my husband, Edward and I vaguely remember the experience. But what I can tell you is I wanted her so bad. I thought they were going to take her away from me and that's all that really mattered."

"Chelsea! Oh my gosh! look at this house! I think it would be the cutest for Jacob and I, when we get married!"

Married!? I thought to myself.

Chelsea looked at the T.V but it was blank. Confusion spread across her face. Nessie laughed, crossed the room and put her hand up to Chelsea's face. She didn't blink.

"How did you-"

Renesmee giggled and went back.

"That's her ability" I tried to explain.

"Does anybody else do that?" She asked curiously.

"No, but this family is full of other talents."

"Like???"

I sighed. She's really nosey.

"Well you know about Edward, Alice my sister-in-law can she the future, Jasper her mate can control emotions and I am a shield."

"Hmmm reading minds. That's something…"

Usually people say things about my ability. Well one of the guards has the same one as me so I guess she's not really intrigued.

"Yes, He can read everyone's mind except mines."

"Right, right because you're a shield…"

At that moment Alice danced in. She stopped her gracefulness with an abrupt halt and narrowed her eyes at Chelsea.
