Hello to all my wonderful readers! I would like to dedicate this chapter to Dinisharob. She has been my inspiration. She is my favorite fan fiction writer. When I finished reading breaking dawn I thought "yeah I will continue the story after that" but 3 years passed by and I didn't write anything. Then I read Dinisharob's "facing dusk" and its sequel "lunar adversaries" which is yet to be completed. Something in those stories instantly motivated me to write. Maybe it's the fact that even when the story didn't get sufficient reviews, she continued to write them, even if one fan was willing to read and that's me. She didn't leave hope. And she shouldn't. Her stories are a masterpiece guys. They also continue after breaking dawn with unpredictable twists. I hope you will give them a try and see it for yourself how wonderful they are.

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or any of its lovely characters. I am just playing in her universe.

"Ohhh so where is my darling uh…Renesmee?"

Everyone else, including me froze except Edward who looked grave.

Chapter 3. Irresistible

After two more minutes, Renee's car came to a halt in front of the Cullen house. My house. A sense of déjà vu hit me. Almost a year ago, the same thing had happened with Charlie. The same anxiety. The same nervousness. Everyone in the room drifted off to various locations so that we could look normal. Edward sat beside me on the sofa and gave my hand a reassuring squeeze. Now Renee was climbing the porch stairs and I could clearly hear the click click of her sharp heels against the wooden steps. She paused in front of the door and took a deep breath. I could hear her heart. It was pounding twice the normal rate. She was very excited.
After five more second she finally rang the bell. Esme walked towards the door at human pace and gave me a reassuring smile before opening the door.

I nodded back as she opened the door.

Renee stood there, the same as ever with big blue eyes and an excited smile painted on her face. She squealed like a small child when she saw Esme and hugged her. Esme was clearly surprised but hugged her back and smiled at her.

"Oh my god Esme it's been so long. And surprise!" She laughed " Where is my darling Bella?"

I sank down lower into the sofa as everyone in the family came down and greeted her. Renee shook Carlisle's hands and gave a hug to both Rosalie and Alice.

She turned around to Rosalie and exclaimed with surprise "Wow Rose you look even more gorgeous than the last time I saw you!"

That was enough to please Rosalie and she cracked a breathtaking smile and thanked her.

Then Renee asked again, looking around "Where is Bella?"

I couldn't hide anymore. I took a deep breath and stood up. "I am here, mom."

As I said that I took a breath and Renee's scent hit me like a baseball bat on my face.

Charlie's scent was nothing compared to Renee. My expression changed as my vampire instincts kicked in. Fortunately, I was standing behind Edward so my face was partially hidden from Renee. Edward sensed my discomfort and whispered to me "Hold your breath, Bella."

I nodded and swallowed hard. Venom was pooling into my mouth. Renee rushed towards me and everyone in the room stiffened. I quickly composed myself and stopped breathing. Renee stopped five feet away from me and her jaw went slack with surprise and shock.

She stared at me and then at Edward with surprise. I took a cautious step forward and whispered, trying to make my voice rough. "Hi mom"

She still stared at me "Bella? You look wonderful honey.."

A wondrous smile spread on her face and she rushed forward to hug both me and Edward at the same time. As I hugged her back I clenched my jaw shut tightly.

After an eternity she released us both and held me at an arms distance "Let me guess…Alice forced you into this pretty dress?"

I nodded and laughed a little "Yeah she forced me into it" My air supply was quickly depleting.

Alice skipped over to us "Well Bella doesn't know how beautiful she is. I have to keep reminding that to her.

I rolled my eyes as my mother laughed along with Alice.

The plan was working, but i was almost out of my air supply. I braced myself and took a breath. It seared my throat like fire. I shuddered a little but Renee didn't notice. Edward put his arm around my waist and held me tightly against his side. Renee just beamed at us all and asked me "So Bella how did you like my surprise?"

I forced a smile "Well really mom I am glad to see you here. I missed you very much" That was true. I really had missed her.

Renee came forward again and kissed my forehead. I stayed very still as my throat burned and venom pooled in my mouth again. My mother beamed at me but her expression turned to a concerned one as she saw the pained look on my face.

"What's wrong Bella honey? You look like you are in pain."

I quickly composed my expression " No mom its nothing. We uh…we all just went for a hiking trip yesterday and I am just very tired. Everything hurts that's all" I lied. A part of me was worried that she will see through my lie but she just laughed

"Bella you have really changed after your marriage. In a good way." She added.

I smiled and nodded "yeah. Most of the credit goes to Alice and Edward." There was some truth in that. I was changed.

I sat down with Renee on the sofa and motioned Edward to sit beside me. My mom was appraising the house. Esme came to my mother,

"Can I get you something? You must be tired after that long journey" she asked her gently.

"Oh no, I am fine! But coffee would be great" she said to Esme.

She got up along with Esme "May I also come with you? I have never seen your kitchen."

Esme nodded and smiled "Of course Renee. Come with me."

My mom winked at me "I'll be right back, dear."

I clenched my teeth as she walked past me. When she was gone I shuddered and leaned on Edward's shoulder. He rubbed my back soothingly.

I turned to him "Let's go outside for a moment please. I need some fresh air."

He got up and gently took my hand and led me outside. I sighed "Edward what's happening to me? Even when Charlie came so early all those months ago I was able to control myself. Now all I could do is not to take a snap at my mother. She smells irresistible!"

He shook his head "You are handling yourself wonderfully Bella. And yes some people do smell better than others. Renee's scent is like any other human to me, but to you it's almost irresistible. It varies from vampire to vampire."

I frowned "What if I do something wrong? I won't be able to forgive myself then.."

He took my face in his hands" I won't let anything happen. We all are here" he kissed me lightly and it helped me relax as I forgot about everything else.

I took a deep breath, filling my lungs with fresh unpolluted air "Let's go. I feel fine now."

We went inside again. Renee wasn't back yet. She was talking to Esme about kitchen gadgets.

Her scent was all over the room. If you got past the irresistibility off it, you could actually smell strawberries and roses. My mother's scent. Hmm, nice.

She came back still chatting with Esme, a cup of coffee in her hand. She sat down beside me and took my hand. I stiffened as she flinched. She turned around to look at me "My god Bella you are so cold. Are you all right?" she touched my cool forehead and shuddered slightly.

I bit my lip "Mom I am fine. It's just the Forks weather. It's cold in here throughout the years. It got me" I grinned to make her feel better.

She frowned a little but let it go. Edward stiffened up slightly beside me and I saw that he was gazing at Renee intensly.

Suddenly her expression changed and she asked me " Ohhh so where is my darling uh…Renesmee?"

Everyone else, including me froze except Edward who looked grave.

How can she know about Renesmee? Except….

Charlie told her.

We didn't reply as Renee stared at us expectantly. I asked her "Who told you about Renesmee?"

Her face brightened "Oh Charlie told me about her during a phone conversation. She is Edward's niece right?"

I sighed a little relieved. At least Charlie didn't tell her that….

I nodded "Yeah. She must be asleep right now. I'll just go check."

I got up along with Edward and Alice skipped behind us.

We all went upstairs. Renesmee was in Alice's room along with Jacob. He looked tense. He must have been hearing.

I exhaled "So, what now?"

Edward answered "I heard it in her mind before she said it. If we take Renesmee before her she will know that…"

Alice chirped from behind us "When Charlie visited the first time, he guessed that Nessie is Bella's daughter by seeing her eyes…maybe if I make Renesmee wear green colored contacts he won't know?"

"Won't her eyes hurt when she wears them?" Jacob asked, concerned

We all shook our heads.

"I think you are right Alice. Get your contacts"

She ran out of the room and was back before I took a breath.

She kneeled down in front of Renesmee "Now Nessie do you want to meet you grandmother?"

Renesmee nodded "Yes Aunt Alice, I would love to. But I have to wear contact lenses so that she doesn't know who I am, right?"

Alice nodded "Right. So just open your eyes a bit wider now and look upwards towards the ceiling …yes that's right…..done."

Alice slipped the contacts in Renesmee eyes in no time. She blinked a little as the green colored contacts adjusted in her big eyes. Then she looked at me with a breathtaking smile. She looked even more like an angel now.

Edward picked her up and kissed her forehead "Now sweetheart,you know grandma Renee doesn't know about who we are. So talk minimum and behave normally ok? And no display of you gift."

She nodded and kissed Edward's cheek "Yes daddy"

Edward led her down with me and Alice following him. I told Jacob to stay in the room.

As we came down the stairs Renee turned around in the sofa to look at us. She got up when she saw Renesmee and squealed "Oh my , such a beautiful child! She has exactly your face, Edward."

Renee rushed forward towards us. Renesmee turned around and gave Renee a breathtaking smile. Renee stood there stunned. For a moment I thought she saw through our pretence but when she smiled back I sighed in relief. She was just stunned by Renesmee beauty.

Renee looked at Edward "May I hold her for a moment?"

"I think she is a little heavy….can you handle?" he said with the ghost of a smirk on his face.

Renee raised an eye brow "Oh don't underestimate me young man. I have been lifting weights in gym for over 5 years." We all laughed at that.

Renee held her arms out and Edward carefully handed Renesmee over to Renee.

Despite Renee's confidence, she staggered a little under Renesmee weight. Edward looked down and chuckled lightly.

Renee held Renesmee and murmured to her for sometime before she handed her back to Edward. "I must say she is a delightful child. You are lucky that you found her."

Edward smiled "Yes I am. I am very lucky that I found her."

Renee chatted with us for some more time. I got a little more used to her scent and it became slightly more bearable.

I asked her "Hey mom, where is Phil?"

Her face fell slightly "Oh he is on a tour to south America…you know baseball tournament and all.."

Just then Emmett and Jasper came down. They had been watching football upstairs. They greeted Renee and talked to her some more. After another hour Renee got up.

"I guess I'll go now. I have checked in into a hotel and I have some unpacking to do."

Esme insisted "No no Renée you must stay here. We are family after all"

Renee smiled "Thank you very much for the kind offer Esme but I have already checked in….."

"Then check out by tomorrow and come here. And I won't take a no for an answer."

Renee smiled "Well if you insist…..I'll see you all tomorrow then."

She hugged me and Esme and kissed Renesmee forehead. She waved us all goodbye and went outside towards her car. Suddenly both Alice and Edward screamed "NO!"

We heard Renee scream outside and then silence.
