That took me some time to write. It was difficult. Actually I thought that you would like to see a little Edward's hostility to Jacob. I do my best. Enjoy!

Ch.10-Stranger

I took her hand and we started run. I couldn't get used to the idea of my daughter and my wife. The 'my' in both of them felt strange.

I couldn't used to the idea that Bella was a vampire, too. I would have her forever. I wouldn't let her go and I would make her happy forever. My Bella, my wife, my life, my soul, my love. My everything.

"Tell me about her" Bella insisted.

How could I describe this creature at her? Renesmee was like nothing else in the world.

" She is like nothing else in the world."

"How much is she like you? How much like me? Or like I was, anyway." She asked impatiently for the details.

"It seems a fairly even divide." I answered. It was the best answer I could give. Renesmee had Bella's eyes. She had bronze hair like me and her most features were like mine. Her face was heart-shaped like Bella's and this little dent appeared between her eyes when she was concerned or worried.

"She was warm-blooded" she said, remembering.

"Yes. She has a heartbeat, though it runs a little bit faster than a human's. Her temperature is a little bit hotter than usual, too. She sleeps."

I barely had seen her, she was always sleeping.

"Really?" She asked surprised.

"Quite well for a newborn. The only parents in the world who don't need sleep, and our child already sleeps through the night." I tried not to stuck at the words 'parents' and 'our child'. These words were still impossible to believe for me. I chuckled so I could drive off the lump in my throat.

I decided that she should be warned for Renesmee's beauty so she wouldn't gasp. So I told her all the details of her appearance.

"She has exactly your color eyes—so that didn't get lost, after all." I smiled at her. "They're so beautiful." I sighed.

"And the vampire parts?"

"Her skin seems about as impenetrable as ours. Not that anyone would dream of testing that." If anyone tried I would rip his head off without a second thought.

She blinked, a little shocked. She barely knew our daughter but she was worried about her. She loved her.

"Of course no one would" I assured her. I changed the subject quickly so she would let it go. "Her diet… well, she prefers to drink blood. Carlisle continues to try to persuade her to drink some baby formula, too, but she doesn't have much patience with it. Can't say that I blame her—nasty smelling stuff, even for human food."

She stared at me with shock. "Persuade her?"

Of course, Bella thought that Renessmee was just a normal baby. She didn't know about her special gift, about how much she understood everything.

"She's intelligent, shockingly so, and progressing at an immense pace. Though she doesn't speak—yet—she communicates quite effectively."

"Doesn't. Speak. Yet." She seemed to be shocked of that. So, I slowed down for two reasons. First and most important for me was that I wanted some more time with my Bella. We were too close at the house now and I wanted some time with her. Second and most important for her .She had to absorb this.

"What do you mean, she communicates effectively?" She asked after some short minutes. How was I going to explain it to her? Would she understand it? Would it shock her more?

Maybe she would understand better if she had seen it by her own.

"I think it will be easier for you to… see for yourself. It's rather difficult to describe." I explained.

She seemed to think of it for some moments and then changed the subject.

"Why is Jacob still here?" she asked. How can he stand it? Why should he? Why should he have to suffer more?"

Ugh! Ugh! That playful puppy again! What was about him? She still loved him? She still was…in love with him?

Carlisle had said that it was impossible. A vampire couldn't fall in love with a werewolf. It was impossible. I believed him. He was right. Impossible.

But that doesn't change the fact that I still hated him. He had imprint at my daughter. My daughter from all the people in the Earth! The fluffy dog!

"Jacob isn't suffering" I said, my voice husky from my thoughts. Unfortunately he wasn't suffering!"Though I might be willingto change his condition," I said through my clenched teeth. Of course I would be willing to make him suffer!

She yanked me and stopped me."Edward! How can you say that? Jacob has given up everything to

protect us! What I've put him through—!" she paused and didn't continue.

You would do the same if you knew what he have done with our daughter!

"You'll see exactly how I can say that," I said in a soft tone. I didn't like when she blamed herself. How could she hurt anyone? She was still so fragile, so beautiful, and so cute. "I promised him that I

would let him explain, but I doubt you'll see it much differently than I do. Of course, I'm often wrong about your thoughts, aren't I?"

I had started to believe that she would hate him after what he had done. Actually I hoped it so much that it made be believe it.

"Explain what?" She wondered.

I shook my head. I wish I could tell her. But I promised. I didn't want to make him think that I break my promises. I wanted to show him that I was strong and not weak anymore.

"I promised. Though I don't know if I really owe him anything at all anymore. . . ." I clenched my teeth.

"Edward, I don't understand." She said worried and frustrated. I had to calm her down. I didn't like to see her like that. Shh love, everything is going to be fine. You will see it on your own.

I stroked her cheek and smiled when I saw her leaning her face inside my palm. It was such a pleasure to watch it. Her face smoothed and then I talked to her in a soft murmur.

It's harder than you make it look, I know. I remember." I muttered

"I don't like feeling confused" she whispered.

"I know. And so let's get you home, so that you can see it all for yourself." I said in a lighter tone. I looked at her dress and frowned at the thought of Jacob see her like that. She was mine. I wouldn't let him admire this beauty. As much as I wanted to admire her like that for more I had to do something."Hmm"

After one second of thought I unbuttoned my shirt and held it out so she would wear it. As a gentleman.

"That bad?" she asked.

No it's not bad. Just far far too good. I grinned at her.

She put her hands inside my sleeves and buttoned the shirt swiftly.

"I'll race you" she said and shot me a warning look "no throwing the game this time!"

"On your mark" I murmured as I let her hand dropped.

We both burst into a run and I was beating her until the river. But then she took the chance and made her leap early. Her extra force helped her win. The cheater!

"Ha!" she breathed when she won me.

I am going to test her. I don't want her near the baby. Please give me that chance.

Who did he think he was?!

I ran beside her then and I put my hands around her arms.

"Don't breathe" I warned her.

So what do you think? Was that any good? Please please review. I am writing for almost two days. I am in summer holiday and I am bored. I think that I do a very good job. Please review and tell me if you don't like something and if you would want to see something else from me. Oh! And you that put my story at your favorites, please review too.
