I saw Renesmee as soon as I got home. She jumped into Bella's arms and put either hand on each of our cheeks. She was a toddler now, but in human years she was barely months old. She showed us both the time she had spent with Jacob today in the woods. I needed to talk to the dog. He was spending far too much time with my daughter. Neither Bella nor I liked it, but we tolerated it if it meant Renesmee was happy. I was cut off from Renesmee showing me her playing hide and seek as Carlisle's thoughts irritated me. Sorry to tell you now son, but the Denali's are coming tonight to visit. Tanya included. I groaned. I always hated having Tanya around. She was self-centred and unfortunately, attracted to me. "What's wrong?" my love asked me, obviously confused at my sudden change in mood. "Tanya and the Denali's are coming tonight to visit." I told her. "Oh" was all she said. Tanya would hopefully give me some more space now that we had Nessie. I smiled, she hadn't been too happy when Bella and I got married but surprisingly still tried to get me. There was nothing she could do now, I had a child too. So you're happy about this? Bella expanded her shield; it was useful being able to have private conversations when we wanted to while others were around. "No of course not!" I stared at her, shocked. Then what's with the smile? Oh Bella, she had misinterpreted things. I chuckled. "She'll probably leave me alone now we have Nessie. That'll irritate her." Good Bella thought, and she mumbled into my ear "about time" which made me smile. It certainly was about time. I bet she would still taunt me with her thoughts though.

And of course she did.

Eddie? How you doing sugar plum? I clenched my jaw and pulled Bella closer in to me.

How's your… wife? I'm sure she won't be very happy with what we're gonna do tonight! She filled her head with ridiculous and impossible fantasies and my hands balled up into fists. Edward, leave it. I hate her just as much as you do, thank god I can't hear her thoughts. I still have my new-born strength, she's not getting anywhere near you. I hated Tanya so much. Her stupid fantasies, lusting after me when I clearly didn't want her, and she irritated Bella. But I had to keep a calm façade. Tanya and the Denali's had helped our family in a time of great need. She had helped protect the lives of the ones I loved. So for that, I would owe her for eternity.

Aaww, being a little overprotective? Don't worry, soon Bella will be out of the picture and we can have some alone, adult time! I still didn't have to like her. A small snarl erupted from my throat and I glared at Tanya. She just smiled sweetly and walked over to talk with the rest of my family. "Edward, calm down!" Bella whispered into my ear. "Her crazy fantasies Bella I can't stand it I –"

"Sshh" she gently whispered, calming me immediately. "Nothing like that is ever going to happen! There's nothing to worry about. Thankfully she'll be gone by tomorrow" Bella was so good at soothing me. When she wasn't being stubborn, she was always right.

"Bella she was thinking about having… adult time with me. It was disgusting." Bella replied in a way that I would never of thought of her replying, always unpredictable. Well, this time she didn't reply, she let me into her mind. Maybe we can reconstruct that fantasy, and just change the woman. I laughed at Bella. "You're ridiculous you know!" I said, smiling her favourite crooked smile. I know. She agreed.

Then Carlisle beckoned us over to greet Kate, Garrett, Eleazar, Carmen and… Tanya.

"Hello Edward!" Tanya said, grinning from ear to ear. I did not return the gesture. I mean, hey babe. She mentally corrected. Today was going to be a long day. At least I had the love of my life at my side the whole way through it.


A/N Hey everyone, thanks so much for reading! I've got a few questions. Firstly, am I making my chapters too short? The reason I make them this length is so that I can upload them more quickly for you guys to see. It is fine if you want longer chapters, it's just updates will be less frequent. Secondly, do you want me to switch POV? I thought it might be fun to swap for a bit, and then go back to Edward. Thirdly, any ideas are very welcome, I am having a block right now and I have no idea what to do next! Thank you so much to all my reviewers, especially Circus-Of-Madness who has been constantly reviewing and given me ideas and support. Sorry for long A/N, Bye! G
