Chapter 6: I Have a Family

Edward's POV

I have a daughter. I had a beautiful girl with Bella. For so many years I had been searching for Bella, so that we could finally be happy together. I had never expected to gain so much more when I finally did find my wife. I never in my wildest dreams thought that I could ever have a kid with the woman I loved so much.

Renesmee, it's such a beautiful name. It's unique and special, just like her. I looked at her and I realized just how much she looked like Bella and I. I instantly felt guilty for ever believing that Bella moved on from me. I should have never doubted her; not even for that one second that I did. Bella didn't deserve for me to doubt her like that. I should have listened. Luckily I have a daughter that is every bit as stubborn as Bella and I are. She made me listen, and I'm grateful for that.

When I looked at her, I saw how worried she was. By reading her mind I knew it was because she still felt extremely guilty for being the one responsible for all of the "animal attacks" that have been going on around here. I wanted her to understand that we weren't mad at her. She was doing something that was completely within her nature, she didn't know that another way existed. Yet, she still felt guilty for taking people's lives, for killing them. I wanted to help her, no, I was determined to help her. I was going to help her transition from human blood to animal blood. I was going to prove to her that she didn't need to feel guilty about anything.

I put an arm around her and she immediately relaxed. I held her close to me and kissed her brow. Her answering smile was enough to making my un-beating heart beat again.

"Thanks daddy" she said. She called me "daddy". I would cry right now if it were possible for a vampire to cry.

"Of course sweetheart" I answered. When I glanced up I saw Bella smiling at me. I didn't need to read her mind to know what she was thinking. She was just happy that her family was finally together.

As soon as we pulled up into the driveway the smell of wet dog hit my nose strongly.

"What is that awful smell?" Nessie asked. She was covering her nose in disgust as well.

"That is the smell of those god awful mutts, dogs that's what that smell is" I said. Bella glared at me.

"Edward" she said in a threatening way.

"Okay, so the technical term for them is shape shifter. They can turn into oversized idi-"

"Edward!" Bella hissed. For a human she can be frightening. I guess 14 years still hasn't changed the way she felt and defended those idiots, excuse me, wolves.

Nessie snickered at that last thought.

"They can turn into oversized wolves" I explained.

"Oh that's pretty cool" she said.

Great. That was the only thought that crossed my mind.

We didn't hear a thing as we entered the house. Well, I may have heard a couple of antagonistic thoughts from Rosalie about the wolves, and I may have heard some from the wolves about all of us.

When we reached the living room, immediately got excited to see Bella again. They were all screaming her name over and over again. It was defeating, even for a vampire. Everyone was just finally happy to have Bella back. They all missed her and loved her almost as much as I had.

Then they all noticed Nessie. They just stared at her without saying anything. They were all wondering who she was and why she was here. Only the dogs didn't stare at her.

It was obvious, even without reading her mind, that she was starting to feel really uncomfortable. I went over to her and put a comforting arm around her. She immediately relaxed.

"Who is this?" Alice asked.

"She is our daughter" Bella said.

"What?!" Jacob nearly shouted. "I thought you bloodsuckers couldn't have kids!" i could hear the jealously raging in Jacob's mind. He had always wanted to be the one that fathered Bella's children.

"We can't!" Rosalie said angrily. "Which means that Bella cheated on Edward"

Bella stormed over to her furiously. "Don't you ever talk about me like that again! I would never do that to Edward so don't you ever say that about me again!" she shouted.

I also stormed over there in a rage. Nobody talks like that about my Bella and gets away with it! "Don't you ever say that about my wife again!" I screamed.

"Oh come on Edward, can't you-"

"Stop!" I screamed. "Bella is telling the truth. She had my baby. There is no doubt in my mind that this beautiful girl is my daughter. Not only have I seen my daughter exhibit vampire traits, but I know for a fact that Bella would never lie to me about something so important" I said.

For once in her immortal life she was speechless. Her mind was also unusually quiet.

"So you two have bred a monster? Is that right?" Jacob asked. His question made me furious! How dare he say that she is a monster!

Before I could say anything Nessie stormed up to him. "Excuse me but I am not a monster! And my name is Renesmee" she said bravely. Jacob had a response for her, a rather infuriating one at that. But everhthing changed the moment he turned around and actually looked at her for the first time. Once their eyes locked everything changed. He had imprinted on my daughter.

"What is going on here?" Bella asked.

"Jacob just imprinted on her" I said

"He what?!" Bella shouted.

"He just imprinted" I said.

I couldn't take this anymore. I had to leave. At least for a little while. Just to get all of my emotions in check. It wasn't until I was upstairs that I heard the screaming. I was to busy down there with everything else going on that I hadn't heard it earlier.

In another room there was a human that was currently changing into a vampire. This had to be the gang member that my daughter accidentally created. He shouldn't be allowed to become a vampire. Considering that he was a member of a gang, possibly it's leader, would make it extremely dangerous to have him as a vampire. Carlisle didn't want to kill him. Carlisle wanted to allow the transformation to happen. I didn't agree with him at all.

I was going to kill him then. I didn't want to go against my father's wishes. I hated the very thought of going against what Carlisle wanted, but this time I had to. I could not allow this man to make the change.

I put my arms around his chest. I was going to crush his lungs.

"Edward stop!"

Damned it Carlisle! I turned around and saw his furious glare.
