Hey, that's my new chapter. I have added Edward's conversation with Carlisle. The conversation that Bella lost while she was watching Renesmee.I also tried to put some of Emmett's humor. I enjoyed this chapter. I hope you like it. Enjoy!

Ch. 12- Surprises

"Come and see, I know you can handle this" I murmured at her ear. Actually, I was sure that she could handle it.

"You'll help me?" She asked, frozen and motionless. Of course I would help her. She needed to see our daughter and I would do my best to do it easy for her.

"Of course I will" I assured her.

"And Emmett and Jasper—just in case?"

Whoa, hell yeah! Emmett's mind was screaming to me.

"We'll take care of you, Bella. Don't worry, we'll be ready. None of us would risk Renesmee. I think you'll be surprised at how entirely she's already wrapped us all around her little fingers. She'll be perfectly safe, no matter what."

Actually, Bella would adore her! Renesmee was so cute and mature at the same time. Like her mother.

I tugged her hand and we took a step forward.

No way! I heard Jacob's thoughts. He was in our way at once his hands were raised at his sides so he would block us.

"Are you sure, bloodsucker?" he pleaded me. "I don't like this. Maybe she should wait—" Was he insane? He had better to stay out of our way. If he valued his life.

"You had your test, Jacob." I interrupted him.

"But—," Jacob began.

I forbid you to take her inside! He did what?! Forbid me?! Who did he think he was?! I tried to keep my anger out of my voice when I answered but it was impossible.

"But nothing," I said, my voice full of anger and impatience. "Bella needs to see our daughter. Get out of her way." I warned him, emphasizing the word our. She was ours.

I really don't think it's a good idea. Renesmee is mine and I should have an opinion don't you think? He thought while she was walking in the house.

He thought that our daughter was his?! Stupid mongrel!

I growled before I could bit it back.

"Shall we?" I said in a soft voice at Bella. She nodded nervously. She was behaving like she was an offender.

I took her hand and I squeezed it tightly for encouragement.

As we got in everyone was smiling.

She seems well in control. Carlisle thought.

What did she do at her dress?! Alice.

Whoa! I think that you forgot to put your shirt on! Emmett.

I can feel that she is in control but she is a lot of nervous. I'll try to calm her. Jasper.

Edward a little more quickly, she doesn't have that patience. She is a baby, don't forget. Rosalie.

Carefully, son. Esme

Maybe it's a very very bad idea. Jacob

All these thoughts were swimming in my head. Thoughts that I didn't want to hear. I wanted to hear only one person's thoughts but her mind was silent. Bella. What was she thinking? I had to stop to think about Bella's thoughts. But it was impossible. What was in her mind, right then that our daughter leaned around Jacob to look at her?

I felt Bella froze at my side when she saw Renesmee.

"I was out just two days?" She gasped. She knew that Renesmee was growing very fast but not that fast! Bella was staring at Renesmee's deep, brown and adult eyes and Renesmee stared back. Renesmee put her little hand at Rosalie's throat and show her Bella's voice, that she had heard before.

"Yes that's her" Rosalie murmured at her and patted her hand.

Our daughter looked back at Bella again and smiled. I couldn't help myself not to smile- even if she wasn't looking at me.

Bella took a step toward her and everyone moved. I gripped her waist and my two brothers came to stand in front of her. Carlisle and Esme at their sides. Rosalie went at the back door with Renesmee and Jacob went in front of them –with a protective pose.

Oh Edward. Trust her- just the one percent of how much she trusts you. You owe her that! She wouldn't do anything.

"Oh, give her some credit," she said out loud for the others to hear. "She wasn't going to do anything. You'd want a closer look, too."

She's right. Bella is in control. Jasper assured me.

"I'm okay," Bella said and patted my hand. Right. She was fine. And I thought that newborns were reactive! "Keep close, though, just in case." She added after two seconds.

She's really calm. Jasper thought for me. I nodded and dropped my hands from Bella's waist.

But I can't let her continue. She's a newborn Edward. Jasper added.

Newborns are very petulant maybe she will lose control. Emmett.

"Jazz, Em, let us through. Bella's got this." I assured them.

What?! They both thought.

"Edward, the risk—," Jasper said.

"Minimal" I interrupted him. "Listen, Jasper—on the hunt she caught the scent of some hikers who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. . . ."

Carlisle caught his breath. You were so careless!

Esme's face was suddenly full of concern mingled with compassion. Oh the poor humans!

Jasper's eyes widened. I knew something like that would happen. He thought and nodded at himself.

Jacob's mouth screwed up into a disgusted grimace. Oh! My friend turned into a monster!

Emmett shrugged. So what are you trying to tell us with that? That makes the things worse not better.

Alice narrowed her eyes. That explains the mess in her clothes!

Would anyone let me finish?!

"Edward!" Carlisle chastened. "How could you be so irresponsible?" he said his thought out loud.

"I know, Carlisle, I know. I was just plain stupid. I should have taken the time to make sure we were in a safe zone before I set her loose."

"Edward" Bella mumbled. She didn't like when I blamed myself. I knew that she wanted to take all the blame herself.

Oh if they knew how strong my wife was! I grinned at that thought. Just a little practice and she would be able to control herself without effort.

"He's absolutely right to rebuke me, Bella," I said at her- still grinning. "I made a huge mistake. The fact that you are stronger than anyone I've ever known doesn't change that."

Don't try to lighten the atmosphere. Alice thought and rolled her eyes "Tasteful joke, Edward."

"I wasn't making a joke. I was explaining to Jasper why I know Bella can handle this. It's not my fault everyone jumped to conclusions."

"Wait," Jasper gasped. "She didn't hunt the humans?"

"She started to" I said-imagining their reaction at how Bella handled this and enjoyed the thought. "She was entirely focused on the hunt."

"What happened?" Carlisle interjected.

"She heard me behind her and reacted defensively. As soon as my pursuit broke into her concentration, she snapped right out of it. I've never seen anything to equal her. She realized a once what was happening, and then… she held her breath and ran away."

Oh my god! Esme thought. Impossible.

"Whoa," Emmett murmured. "Seriously?"

"He's not telling it right," Bella joined the conversation then. "He left out the part where I growled at him."

Oh no, oh no! She attacked you?! I should have seen that. She beat you right? You weren't able to read her thoughts and she beat you! A female beat you at a fight! What sort of man are you?

I glared at him. That made him confused so he asked it out loud.

"Did ya get in a couple of good swipes?"

"No. Of course not." Bella said.

Oh what a shame!

"No, not really? You really didn't attack him?"

" Emmett!"

"Aw, what a waste," Emmett groaned. "And here you're probably the one person who could take him—since he can't get in your head to cheat—and you had a perfect excuse, too." He sighed. "I've been dying to see how he'd do without that advantage."

Oh c'mon little sister, say that you will fight him someday!

"I would never."

Damn it! Why?!

Jasper's frown caught my attention; he seemed even more disturbed than before.

I ignored Emmett's angry thoughts and returned at Jasper. I raised my hand and punched his shoulder. "You see what I mean?"

"It's not natural," Jasper muttered.

"She could have turned on you—she's only hours old!" Esme scolded, putting her hand against her heart. "Oh, we should have gone with you."

In the same time Renesmee outstretched her hand toward Bella.

"Edward, please?" Bella said as she was leaning around Jasper to see her better.

Jasper's teeth were set; he didn't move.

"Jazz, this isn't anything you've seen before," Alice said quietly. "Trust me."

Their eyes met for a short second, and then Jasper nodded. He took a step behind and moved behind us. He put one hand on Bella's shoulder and moved with her as she stepped forward.

We were only some steps away from our daughter now when suddenly Renesmee started to cry. I felt like someone put a knife in my stomach as I heard that sound. I had never heard her voice before and I was shocked and alarmed. Everyone was around her in a second. I noticed That Bella was staring at her wide-eyed and frozen. I could imagine how painful it was for her that she couldn't go forward and take Renesmee at her arms. I caressed Renesmee's forehead and hair but she didn't stop crying. Bella's image never left her mind.

"What's the matter? Is she hurt? What happened?" Jacob asked anxiously holding Renesmee's hand. After a second he reached over and took Renesmee out of Rose's hands.

"No, she's fine," Rosalie reassured him.

Renesmee seemed to calm down as long as she was on Jacob's hands. She put her hand on his cheek and showed him Bella. Again.

"See?" Rosalie told him. "She just wants Bella."

"She wants me?" Bella whispered from unmoving lips. I felt so bad that I left her alone there. But what else could I do? I had two reasons to exist now and since the one of them was less breakable and more mature than the other…

I went behind Bella and pushed her shoulders to encourage her to go forward.

"She's been waiting for you for almost three days" I told her.

Jacob was trembling now but was trying to calm it down. He wasn't trembling so he could be a werewolf. He was trembling from fear.

"Jake—I'm fine" Bella assured him. Again!

He frowned at her, eyes tight. Bella was very good at this, why did he do it difficult for her?

Renesmee whimpered eagerly and stretched, her little hands grasping into fists again and again.

I could see that Bella couldn't stand it more. She reached over to take Renesmee from Jacob's trembling hands. Renesmee smiled at Bella as soon as she was at her arms. Then she put her hand against her neck and showed her the image that I didn't want to see again.

Bella covered in sweat and blood after Renesmee's birth. My legs started shaking and I did my best not to fall on my knees. Just two seconds before I was strong. Strong enough to handle every situation and now I was weak.

I was glad that Renesmee didn't show the smell of Bella's blood at Bella. It would be painful to her.

I sighed in relief when Renesmee dropped her hand and stopped thinking of that image that I was trying-without result-to put out of my mind.

I didn't realize that I had stopped breathing as everyone else had – except Jacob and Renesmee- until silence occupied the room.

"What…was…that?" Bella said, gasping.

"What did you see?" Rosalie asked curiously, leaning around Jacob, who seemed very much in the way and out of place at the moment. "What did she show you?"

"She showed me that?" Bella asked.

I was sure that Bella would be surprised. Who wouldn't be? That's why I didn't tell Bella about Renesmee's gift. It was too hard to explain and I didn't want her to misunderstand.

"I told you it was hard to explain," I murmured in her ear. "But effective as means of communications go."

"What was it?" Jacob asked. He thought that it would be a moment with him or something. He wasn't even close!

Bella blinked some times to get out of the shock and then spoke. "Um. Me. I think. But I looked terrible."

"It was the only memory she had of you," My voice was rough as I thought of it again and my face was deformed from the pain. "She's letting you know that she's made the connection, that she knows who you are."

"But how did she do that?" she wondered in shock.

"How do I hear thoughts? How does Alice see the future?" I asked rhetorically "She's gifted, love"

"It's an interesting twist," Carlisle said. "Like she's doing the exact opposite of what you can."

" Interesting." I agreed. I have never thought of it like that. What if Bella had a gift that we haven't discovered yet? Would Renesmee do something like that or the opposite? "I wonder…" I said as I went to sit at the sofa with Carlisle.

"I remember you too" I heard Bella whisper at Renesmee and I turned to look at them. Bella was leaning down to kiss Renesmee's forehead.

"What?" Carlisle said and he returned me back at the conversation.

"What if Bella have a gift too? A gift that it is connected with Renesmee's but we haven't discovered yet?"

"Hmm… an interesting and possible theory." He seemed to think of it a little. "But I can't imagine what a gift it could be."

"Neither do I, but if she has one it will be surface soon, won't it? I mean you remember with Zafrina. It took her there years to understand what her gift was and some decades to learn to use it right."

"You have a point. But Zafrina's gift is a very interesting and difficult one. If Bella has a gift which is connected with Renesmee's then it has to be easy."

"We don't know that"

"No, but it really has to be easy."

"If it is easy then she would be able to use it from the beginning, Carlisle. As Renesmee did."

"Hmm"

Jacob interrupted our conversation then.

"Haven't we experimented enough for one day?" Jacob asked, his voice a slightly higher pitch with stress. "Okay, Bella's doing great, but let's not push it."

"What is your problem, Jacob?" Bella asked, a little annoyed. Jacob reached for Renesmee but Bella stepped behind. He stepped closer to her and I was really irritated that he was so close to my wife and my daughter.

I didn't understand that I hissed until it came out of my mouth.

"Just because I understand, it doesn't mean I won't throw you out, Jacob. Bella's doing extraordinarily well. Don't ruin the moment for her."

"I'll help him toss you, dog," Rosalie promised her voice seething. "I owe you a good kick in the gut."

My eyes were locked on Bella's face as her expression turned puzzled. She was looking at Jacob's face and he was looking at Renesmee. She must have seen his look and understand what was happening between Jacob and Renesmee before he could tell her. Not that it was in his plans to tell Bella about the imprinting. Coward!

"No" Bella gasped as she understand Jacob's look.

So what do you think? It's a bit big, huh? Review please and tell me if there is something that you don't like. I answered to my few reviews. I am really grateful to those that review my chapters because they support me. I will ask it again as I will did with every chapter. There are some persons that put my stories on their favorites and I am really happy for that-but they don't review. I would really appreciate if they review and then put my story in their favorites. Thanks for the supporting.
