EPOV

It's been three months.

Three long, hard working, stressful months. Oh, I'm not talking about for me. I'm talking about for my Bella, my love, my everything. Although the stressful part is definitely been there through it all.

Every four days she has been out there, working with Jasper or Carlisle. She's never asked for my help. At first I worried that maybe she didn't trust me, or that she simply didn't want my help at all. But she has made it apparent that she doesn't want me there for her own reasons. Oh, how I wish I could hear the thoughts that fill her mind. Not that her wishes haven't stopped me from peeking in now and then. She always caught me, but I caught glimpses of her work now and again. It was so difficult not being able to read anyone's thoughts she was around. Of course, I would never say that out loud.

Yesterday was the first day I was aloud to take her hunting with me. It wasn't the first time she had actually hunted instead of drinking the blood Jasper drained for her, but it was the first time for me.

Of course, she was better than I expected. She was graceful, she was quick, she was amazing. And after she had taken down two deer, she stood up straight with not a single drop of blood on her white tank top and jeans. Not a hair out of place, not a tatter on her clothes. She saw me examining her outfit and gave me a simple

"I'm a pro." with a smug smile. And she was. The first time she came home from hunting with Jasper her long pants had turned into shorts and her mid-driff was exposed by rips and tears on her shirt.

"Edward! Come, quick!" Bella's voice snapped me put of my flash back. I ran down stairs. She was standing in the middle of the room with her arms held out like a game-show pirize woman.

Renesmee was in the middle of the floor on her quilt that Esme had made her. She was lying on her stomach, gurgling and drooling all over her little rattle.

The only difference in the room was that the glass box was gone, and Bella was in the room. By herself. Without holding her breath.

"Are you proud or-" she started but was silenced by my lips against hers. I could feel her smile against my mouth.

"Edward, Renesmee is in the room." she laughed.

"Bella, she is five months old. I think we'll be okay." I mumbled. She laughed again and kissed me for another moment. She pulled away, smiling.

"So are you excited? Now we don't have to leave the room randomly!" she said.

"I'm over joyed. Really, I am. I am so proud of you." I told her. And I meant it. She had worked so hard. I took her hand and lead her to where Renesmee was laying, and sat down beside her, pulling Bella down with me. I cradled Renesmee in my arms, holding her close. I looked over to Bella, and she had a look of longing of desire in her eyes. A sudden realization hit me.

"You've never held her, have you, love?" she shook her head no, still staring at Renesmee.

"Would you like to?" I asked quietly. She looked up at me with wide eyes.

"Edward, I don't know if I-"

"Nonsense." I interrupted, holding her out to Bella. She looked at me warily.

"Do you really think I should-"

"Bella, take her." I said quietly. She held her arms out gingerly, and I pressed her gently into the cradle of her arms.

Edward pressed her into my arms. I was immediatley overwhelmed by the warmth of her tiny body, but I had no desire to hurt her. Of course, her scent was still mouthwatering, but this was my daughter. Of course I could never hurt her.

"See? I told you it was nonsense." Edward said gently. I smiled.

I stood up with her in my arms and sat down on the couch. I was going to be here for a while.

Alice burst through the door, arms filled with shopping bags.

"Yay! Bella, do you know what time it is?" she sang, skipping to my spot on the couch.

"Alice, what are you talking about?" I groaned. This couldn't end good. Alice was just too excited.

"Bella, I saw your little stunt with Renesmee. You are now officially a vegiterean! Do you know what time it is?" she repeated.

"Twelve forty three?" I tried. She gave me a sigh.

"It's time to celebrate!" she shouted. Renesmee stirred in my arms. I glared at Alice.

"Sorry. It's time to celebrate!" she repeated in a whisper. I rolled my eyes.

"Excatly how are we celebrating?" I wondered. She grinned.

"We're going to a new teen club. It's called Chaotic." I winced.

"Alice, I'm still not sure if I can control-"

"Oh, come on, grumpy-saurus. You offend me, Bella, really. You think I didn't already look ahead? What kind of a pyschic do you think I am?" she asked, looking like she really was hurt. I sighed.

"Alice..." I moaned.

"Bella, this is whats going to happen. You are going to get all done up and dress like the sexy vampire that you are, we are going to the club, we are going to dance until morning, we are going to have fun, and that's final." she instructed.

"Well as long as I have a say in the matter." I muttered.

"That's the spirit! Now go play with Edward, I have primping to do." she said, running up the stairs. I sighed.

"Edward!" I called, stomping my way up the stairs. I stomped all the way into his closet, where he was standing... shirtless. And with very low khaki pants on, might I add.

"Yes, love?" he asked grinning.

"I, um, just wanted to.... huh?" I stammered, losing my train of thought. I shook my head to try and clear it, but all attempts were failed when I looked at him again.

"Alice said I should distract you." he muttered.

"Do I really have to go? Really?" I groaned, laying Renesmee down on the huge four poster bed in the middle of his room.

"Love, am I going to have to tamper with your brain?" he asked, still in the closet. I laughed.

"I don't think you can anymore. I'm not silly and mortal like before." I said, remembering the last time he 'tampered with my brain'.

"That sounds like a challenge." he mumbled, stepping out of the closet. He was behind me in half a second, arms wrapped around my waist. He placed his lips at my ear.

"We are going to the club." he said simply. His breath washed over my face and neck, and saturated my hair strands. My train of thought was getting fuzzy.

"O...kay?" I managed. His lips began making a trail of kisses down my neck.

"You are going to let Alice dress you so that I can admire you like the love struck man that I am." he said against my neck. He caressed my face in his hands and turned it so that he was looking straight in my eyes. He moved his lips back up to my face and pressed them gently against my lips. My breathing hitched.

"Sure." I said breathlessly.

'And we are going to attempt to have some fun." he whispered. My lips parted and I breathed in his sweet scent. He crushed his lips to mine.

"I'll.... try." I answered when he pulled away. He chuckled.

"Mortality has not made you immune, my love." he said, still chuckling. He let go of my waist and turned, walking away. I grabbed his hand and pulled him back. I placed my chin on his chest and looked up at him, my arms wrapped around his waist. I stood on my tip-toes to kiss him, and he lifted me gently so I wouldn't have to reach.

"You know my weaknesses all to well." I said, pulling away. He set me on my feet. I turned my back to him, walking out of the room.

"I'm counting on that." I heard him call from the bedroom. I rolled my eyes and made my way to Alice's room. I reached a hand up to knock, but before my hand made contact with the door she yelled "Come in!" I opened the door and peeked my head in.

"Do your worst." I sighed. She grabbed my hand and led me to her vanity.

"You will thank me for this one day, Bella." she muttered.

I felt like I was making deals with the devil.

"Alice, I'm dressed in this rediculous outfit, I'm wearing these rediculous shoes, and my hair is rediculously over done. Do we really have to add make-up to the list?" I whined. Alice sighed.

"Bella, please." and she went back to digging through her make-up bag.

"I thought being immortal meant you didnt have to wear make-up." I muttered. She gave me a glare.

"Fine, Bella. But only because I don't want you to be a Debby Downer the entire time we are there. Happy now?" she grumbled, zipping up her bag and stowing it away in a drawer.

"Over joyed. Am I done now?" I asked. She nodded. I jumped up out of the seat and bent down to hug her.

"Thank you. I always knew you were my favorite." I said, kissing her on the cheek.

"Damn. I really thought I was the one." I heard Emmett tease from down stairs. I laughed.

"You know, it's a good thing I'm not human anymore. I would be flat on my face right about now in these heels." I grumbled. Edward laughed from his spot on the bed where he was feeding Renesmee.

"I'm pretty sure that Esme and Carlisle are going to feed her, Edward. Actually, that was the reason they arent coming with us. You aren't stalling, are you?" I asked, eyebrows rose. He looked up at me innocently.

"Me? Of course not." He laughed. I smiled and sat down next to him on the bed, admiring Renesmee.

"Bella, that shirt wrinkled easily!" I heard Alice call from downstairs. I rolled my eyes.

"Wouldn't want to ruin your pretty outfit, would we?" Edward said. I looked myself over.

"You really like it?" I asked. He rolled his eyes.

"Bella, please." he said, sounding like Alice. "You are absolutely gorgeous." I smiled.

"Thanks." I said, leaning over and kissing him. I heard at least three groans come from down stairs.

"Get a room!" Emmett yelled. I rolled my eyes.

"Emmett, we are in a room. Go listen to an iPod or something!" I called, bringing my lips back to Edwards. Alice sighed, and yelled,

"Bella! Edward! I see where this is going! If both of you arent down here in three point five seconds-"

"Coming!" we both called at the same time. After we both said goodbye to Renesmee we ran downstairs.

"About time. Did you at least get anything good?" Emmett asked, looking at Edward. Rosalie smacked the back of his head. I smiled at her, silently thanking her.

"It's comments like that, Emmett, that move you farther and farther down my list." I said, followed by a round of "Oh!"'s from Jasper and Edward. Emmett just rubbed the back of his curly head. I smiled sweetly and made my way out to the garage.

"Let's get this over with." I muttered.

We had decided earlier that Jasper, Emmett, and Edward were taking the Volvo and Alice, Rose and I were taking the M3.

"Can I drive, Rose? Please please please?" Alice begged. Rosalie sighed and threw her the keys. Immortality has not changed my feelings for expensive sports cars. I climbed in the back seat, and Alice and Rose got in front. Alice revved the engine, and Edward revved his in competition. I laughed. Alice cranked up the radio and started singing along to some random song. I leaned forward and pressed my chin on Rosalie's seat.

"Do you know this song?" I muttered.

"Not a single word." she answered. "She's pyschic, remember?" she smiled. I smiled back, and she reached into the glove compartment. She pulled out a little remlte and pressed 'open', and the garage door slowly began to open. There was a grinding sound, and a boom, and the garage door slammed shut again.

"Damn." I heard her mutter.

Everything happened very fast then.

Alice inhaled sharply and froze with her hand on the steering wheel. Jasper was beside her in seconds, hands on her face, searching for the problem.

"Alice!" Jasper cried. Alice started moving like she was having convulsions- she was shaking and turning and bending in ways that I didn't think were possible. I looked at Jasper with wide eyes. His expression mirrored mine, and we both heard another noise coming from the Volvo. I looked over and Edward was doing the same movements as Alice- it was as if they had rehearsed them. Alice went still for half a second and then arched her back against the seat. It was as if she were having seizures. Her hands gripped her hair and she gritted her teeth to keep from screaming. Suddenly another convulsion ripped through her, and her foot slammed on the gas pedal.

"Alice! No-" I shrieked, but it was too later. The car lurched forward and slammed into the closed garage door. My hands covered my eyes, not because I was afriad I was going to get hurt, simply from the shock. There was a bang, and the screech of metal on metal, but that was it. I slowly uncovered my eyes and inspected the damage.

The windshield was shattered, glass peices surrounding us in tiny jagged shards. The hood of the car was bend in on itself, exposing the smoking engine. The front right wheel was lying on its side, and the front bumper was in two pieces. The side view mirrors were dngling from wires, and the windshield wipers were bent in and broken.

"Alice!" Rosalie shrieked. "My car! I can't even-" her screaming was interrupted by the air bag exploding right in her face. She popped it with a single touch of her index fingernail.

"This is the last time I ever let you even think about driving my car! I can't believe you!" she was shouting at the top of her lungs.

"It wasn't her fault. She's having a vision. Now hush." Jasper hissed at Rosalie. Her mouth was hanging open and she was staring at him incredilously.

"Are you serious?!" she asked.

"Rosalie, hush!" he ordered. She huffed and folded her arms across her chest. Alice's convulsions had stopped, but the blank look hadn't left her eyes.

"Alice?" I asked, shaking her shoulder. Nothing. I looked up. "Edward?" I tried. Silence.

"Will someone please explain to me what the hell is going on here?" I shrieked. I jumped out of the car and ran over to Edward. I yanked open the door and pulled him out, standing him up straight. I took his face in my hands.

"Edward? Please!" I whispered. Suddenly the life came back to his eyes. It left as quickly as it came.

"Oh thank God." Jasper and I said at the same time. I cupped his chin in my hand.

"Edward, what the hell is going on?" I begged. Edward wrapped his arms around me and crushed me to his chest.

"They're coming." Alice said gravely.

"Who, Alice?" Jasper pleaded.

"The Volturi." Edward answered in the same tone.

"Why? We haven't done anything! In fact, we've done everything excatly right!" Emmett spoke for the first time.

"We don't know, Emmett. They have decided that Bella is too dangerous." Alice whispered.

"Me? What? Okay, these guys are nuts." I said. "I mean, why would I be considered to dangerous? What are we doing right now? We are going to celebrate my success! They can't do anything!" I rambled. No one said a word all through my ranting.

"They don't come to negotiate, love. They're coming. Aro, Cauis, Marcus.... Felix, Alec, Jane... all of them. They're coming to destroy us all." Edward said, never letting go of my waist.
