Author's Note: So sorry, I had that last chapter written for a while but never got around to updating it soon enough. Here is another chapter that I hope you enjoy. I just bought the soundtrack for Breaking Dawn Part 2 and I love it! My updates may become lacking, I have all kinds of college-y things that need getting done, please forgive me. This one will be short :( But please keep reading and reviewing! Reviews make my life! :)

Edward stared at his beautiful wife and daughter sitting in the tent adjacent to the large bonfire where Carlisle had just wandered to. Edward glanced to the vampires (and Jacob) huddled next to the fire, even though they didn't need the warmth. They were telling war stories and acting like they were perfectly okay with whatever would happen tomorrow. Edward was quite so comfortable with the idea. He barley understood the gravity of what love really meant until a few short years ago when he had met Bella and now his love had been multiplied (most definitely not divided) by two because he was now a father and his need to protect was now heightened. At least Bella could defend herself, although he would still worry, even though she would be the strongest between them and the Volturi. Since she was stronger now he knew he defending and protecting Renesmee would be his main focus tomorrow, Bella's as well. They were his life and he would do anything to keep them safe.

He could make out that Bella was giving some sort of locket to Renesmee. He read his daughter's mind and saw that in the locket there was a picture of himself and Bella, embracing. He could tell Renesmee was a tad confused, she didn't quite understand what would be happening tomorrow, but it was probably best that she was naive in this situation; it was nothing for her to worry her. He made his way across the frigid ground and crouched down in front of the small tent.

"May come in?" The mood was somewhat solemn and somber although Renesmee not know why exactly, she did know the morning was anticipated and important. Bella nodded. He went inside and sat next to Bella and put his arm around her as Renesmee lounged on Bella and Edward. "What've you got there?" Renesmee was holding the locket to her chest.

"It's a…locket, Mommy gave it to me."

"May I see it?" She nodded and handed it to me. He opened it and looked at it carefully.

"Isn't it really pretty?"

"Very. You need to keep this very safe, always, no matter what, okay?" She nodded with seriousness and knowing that it was very important. He put it around her neck and she clutched it in her fingers. Edward lifted her and sat her sideways on his lap she leaned her head against his shoulder. "Renesmee I love you very much, I want you to remember that for as long as you live, do you think you can do that for me?" She nodded earnestly. "Promise?" Edward asked as he looked into her eyes as he tried to convey the truth and sincerity of what he had just said. He knew he would tell her again in the morning, he couldn't say it enough, he really was unsure of the outcome that the next day would bring. Even though he had been apprehensive to wanting Bella to go through with the pregnancy, he was glad she had, and he loved his daughter with everything he had in him, just as he loved Bella.

"Daddy, I promise." She giggled, slightly annoyed. She knew something was up with everyone but the gravity of the situation was lost on her. He wanted her to know, he wanted her to remember how much he and Bella loved her, if they didn't make it; he wanted her to remember the few short months they spent together, and how much his family loved her as well. He kissed her forehead. "I love you too. And you too Mommy." Bella placed her hand on Renesmee's cheek and nestled in closer to Edward, resting her head on Edward's other shoulder. Both Bella and Edward wished that they could pause time and enjoy the time they had together over and over, especially knowing what was to come in the day ahead.

"We love you so much Renesmee." Bella told her. "You have such a wonderful life ahead of you, remember that too." Edward could tell the more they stressed such things for her to remember, the tenser she got. She yawned audibly, signaling her tiredness. As much as they wanted to spend every waking moment possible with her, they knew that she would need her strength and alertness in the morning, whatever was to ensue.

"I think it's time for you to go to sleep." Edward told her, she nodded and kissed both of them as they each gave her a heartfelt hug. Bella wrapped her up multiple blankets as she settled in and drifted off to sleep in Edward's arms. They spent the night in the tent with her, silently but neither of them needed to speak to know what the other was saying. They conveyed their thoughts through meaningful looks and glances and stealing a kiss here and there, they didn't want words to ruin the sanctity of the last few hours they could possibly have. All night the tried to cherish the glances they might possibly get at their beautiful miracle and one another. The war stories continued outside of the tent as the fire died down. Before they knew it, light streamed in through the tent and dawn broke, it was a symbol. Renesmee opened her eyes and they all looked at each other, knowing, that it was time.
