Weeks passed before Charlie was able to come over. He's called every day since Masen was born. He immediately noticed the difference in my voice and insisted on seeing me. I was scared because of my thirst, although I was able to control it with my kids, I was pretty sure I could handle my father.

Irina kept skipping in and out, but no one has been able to catch her. Carlisle tried getting a hold of her sisters, but they are also having no luck tracking her down.

Masen walked over to me and reached up for me to pick him up. Like me, Edward can't read his thoughts. That made Edward even more annoyed at the fact that Renesmee's thoughts could get through to us, but to Edward, we were both mute.

"Where's your sister?" I asked him. He turned in my arms and pointed towards the front door of the cottage.

Both Renesmee and Masen looked to be about three years old. Even though Renesmee is a month old, and Masen is only a few weeks. His growth slowed down a lot. Him and Renesmee seem to be at the same pace now. To an onlooker they look like Twins. I knew this would be their cover for the rest of their lives. Although with their growth speed, we weren't sure how long that was going to be. It scared me when they woke up every morning and were a little bit bigger.

I took Masen outside with me and saw Renesmee sitting in the grass with Jacob laying on his back next to her. Masen wiggled in my arms and I put him down. He ran towards them and Renesmee got up quickly, pushing him over.

"Go away!" She squeaked. I was about to go break up their fight once again, but Jacob sat up and pulled Renesmee onto his lap.

"Ness, he can sit out here with us if he wants."

"No," she pouted.

"Why not?" He asked her.

"I don't want him too." She huffed. I heard Edward approach with Jasper and Emmett. They were on a hunting trip.

"Are we arguing… again?" Edward asked impatiently. He smiled when they both darted across the yard to him. I couldn't help but stare at him when he held our kids. Masen was a spitting image of him, but when he held him they looked even more alike.

"I was playing with Jacob, but he--" she leaned over and shoved her brother, "has to barge in."

Edward rolled his eyes and put them down so he could wrap his arms around me. "I missed you," he mumbled against my lips. Whenever he touched me or kissed me in my new body, a shock of electricity shot through me. I leaned into his kiss, but as always he pushed me away. Although, now his lips would move to my ear as he whispered, "tonight." I was grateful I didn't have to waste my time sleeping anymore.

I composed myself and turned towards my kids, now running around the yard with Emmett and Jasper. Renesmee leaped into the air and Jacob caught her in his arms. "You can't get me! I'm safe." She giggled. Jasper and Emmett played along and turned to chase after Masen. He laughed and darted across the yard, grabbing onto my leg as he swung himself behind me.

"It's time to go to the big house." I peeled his arms from around my leg.

"Race you!" Masen yelled and Renesmee flipped out of Jacob's arms to chase after him. Masen was quicker then Renesmee, but she could leap further than him.

I went to call after them, but Jacob was already pulling off his shirt. "I got it. See you guys there." He called over his shoulder and ducked behind the bushes to phase. Jasper and Emmett took off behind him. I turned and smirked at Edward.

"What?" He laughed.

"I'll race ya!" I yelled and took off running. Edward laughed behind me. We passed Emmett and Jasper in a few bounds, then stayed behind Jacob. I had a clear view of Masen and Renesmee as they fought for the lead.

When we got to the house they continues up the stairs and into the house where I heard them talking to their aunts.

A few moments later Charlie's cruiser pulled into the driveway and I sank into the couch.

"Relax, Bella." Jasper stood behind me and a wave of calm washed over me.

"Thanks, Jasper." I sighed.

Masen climbed onto Edward's lap as Renesmee sat on mine. I held her close as I listened to Charlie's footsteps on the stairs. Carlisle opened the door and Charlie stepped in. My barrier slid off my lap and ran across the room to him.

"Whoa!" Charlie stepped back, but leaned down to pick her up. "This can't be my favorite granddaughter. She's too big."

Renesmee didn't speak, she grinned widely at him.

"Hi, dad." I reached for Edward's arm and he laid it across my lap to keep me where I was.

"Bells?" Charlie put Renesmee down and Carlisle quickly reached for her.

"It's me," I assured him.

"You look good, I mean you look healthy."

"Thanks," I smiled.

Charlie peeled his eyes off of me and glanced at Masen, who was leaning shyly against Edward.

"This," Charlie pointed to Masen. "Can't be the one you just had. He's the size of Renesmee."

"It's the need-to-know," Jacob chimed in.

"Is it healthy?" Charlie leaned over to examine him better. Edward's arm tightened around him when Masen sniffed the air. I still refused to take a breath.

"They're both fine." Edward assured him.

"Does the little guy have a name?"

"Masen," I said quickly and regretted losing some of my air supply. "It was Edward's last name before he was adopted." I held onto Edward's arm as I took a breath. At the same time another wave of calm went through me. Although Charlie's scent was tempting I could control my thirst. He was my father.

"That's a thoughtful name." He smiled at Masen once more and Masen smiled back.

Charlie stayed for the afternoon, but Edward refused to let him hold him. Masen was venomous, but he knew not to bite Renesmee or any of the wolves. Edward didn't want to take the chance with Charlie and I didn't blame him.

After Charlie left I looked at Edward and smiled widely. "I did it!" I gushed.

"You did, I'm proud of you!" Edward kissed my cheek.

We took Renesmee and Masen home to sleep. Edward, Jasper, and Emmett had built another room onto the cottage for Masen. I didn't think it would be fair to make them share a room.

Edward took my hand and led me into our room. Spending the night with him was always the highlight of my day. If it wasn't for our kids, I don't think I would have the strength to separate from him every morning. I would much rather spend every moment right here tangled with Edward.
