CHAPTER FOURTEEN- DENYING THE OBVIOUS

Renesmee's point of view

"Boys are you going to help us with the bags or what?" Alice called into the house. Emmett and Jasper walked out grumbling to themselves and took hold of a good five of the bags each. Alice led me inside and shoved me into my room. She had asked if she could give be a make over to which I refused until Alice had threatened me with some hair curlers.

"Do I have to Alice?" I moaned as she sat me down on a stool in front of a dresser.

"Yes Renesmee you have to. " She said as she pulled a brush through my messy waist length curls. After that she moved onto mascara and eye shadow. She gave me a slight smokey eye and added a slight blush to my cheeks. She then gave me some pink lip gloss and stepped back to admire her work. I had to admit that she did a good job. It made me look really grown up and my wild hair framed my face nicely.

"What do you think?" Alice asked hopefully beaming at me. I looked down and sighed.

"It's perfect." I mumbled.

"What's wrong?" She asked putting an arm around my shoulder.

"It's just everything that has happened lately. I swear if anything else happens I might just pass out and never wake up." I muttered. When I looked back up Alice looked guilty and a little bit worried but when I caught her eye she smiled at me and all emotion left her eyes.

"I know what will cheer you up! How about you try on that gorgeous dress you liked today." She said handed me the dress. I smiled and made my way into her huge and I mean huge closet. I changed into it and looked at my self in the full length mirror.

The girl looking back at me was a total stranger. The dress was a dark blue v neck with the straps wrapping around my neck showing the top half of my back. It fell down in ruffles to the top of my knees with black leather boots that reached half way up my lower leg completing the outfit.

I walked out of the closet and Alice motioned with her fingers for me to spin around. I did a little twirl for her and she gave one firm nod.

"Absolutely beautiful." She said and dragged me downstairs.

"Hungry Ness?" Esme asked as we entered the kitchen and she turned to look at me. Her eyes went wide as she took me in. "My goodness you look beautiful!" She gasped out in awe. I blushed and looked down.

"Thank you." I replied.

Edward and Bella walked in hand in hand and when their eyes settled on me they had to blink and their mouths fell open.

"Isn't she an angel or what?" Alice asked them. They both looked lost for words until Edward smiled and nodded smiling at me. I looked at Bella and she looked close to tears. She took in a shaky breathe and shook out of Edwards arms before walking out of the door. I heard the front door slam and Edward ran after her.

"Is Bella okay?" I asked nervously. Was it me?

Esme turned and smiled at me. "Of course not sweetie, it's just something happened a long time ago." She said reassuring me. I sat down at the table and Alice left the room to go find Jasper and Esme began to cook me some dinner.

I heard the front door open and close and I thought it was Bella until Jacob walked in.

"Do I smell food?" Jacob asked with a big grin on his face. Esme giggled.

"Yes Jacob you came just in time." She said with a dimpled smile.

"Sweet." He said and then his eyes automatically settled on me. He actually did a double take like you would see people do in the movies and he looked captivated by me. I blushed uncomfortably in his intense stare that didn't leave my face for even a millisecond.

"Yes Jacob it's me." I said with an awkward laugh. He didn't say anything. In fact I didn't even think he heard me as he continued to stare.

"Hello earth to Jacob." I said waving my hand. He snapped out of his daze and blushed.

"Sorry Ness. You just look…different." He said.

"Good different or bad different." I asked.

He sighed. "Good. Always good. Great. In fact no words can describe." He said. He really sounded like he meant it and he looked at me like he was a blind man seeing the sun for the first time. It made me feel special. I blushed even deeper and he stroked my cheek.

"I love it when you blush." He said softly as if he was singing the most peaceful lullaby to a child. We just stared into each others eyes until Esme interrupted.

"Dinner's ready." Esme said turning to us with a smile. I turned away from Jacob while he didn't seem to notice Esme as continued to look at me as if he could see straight into my soul.

"Thanks Esme."I said as she set down the food on the table. She kissed the top of my head and left the room.

Me and Jacob talked about random things as we ate and just enjoyed each others company.

"Do you wanna watch a movie or something?" Jacob asked as Esme took our plates away and I stood up.

"Sorry I can't I need to see Samantha. I feel bad for her." I said as I grabbed a jacket and wrapped it around me. His face dropped slightly and I almost said yes but I promised myself I would check on her.

"That's okay. I'll see you later right?" He asked.

I smiled and nodded. Bella still wasn't back yet and I was worried that I had upset her and if she did come back I didn't want to crowd her.

Alice gave me a ride home and I waved to her as she pulled away. I unlocked the front door and walked in. The house was dark but I could sense someone was here. I tried to control my breathing as I slid quietly into the living room. No sign of anyone. I walked into the kitchen and I jumped when I saw a shadow sat at the table. I screamed and turned the lights on. My screams turned to a sigh of relief when I saw it was only Sammy.

"What the hell do you think you're playing at! You scared me." I yelled at her. She didn't move and just continued to look at me worriedly.

"What?" I asked getting nervous. My stomach twisted into knots as Sammy sighed and took a piece of paper out of her pocket and pushed it towards me on the table.

"Ness I think there is something you should know." She said.

Bella's point of view

I sat against a tree a few miles away from the house where my daughter was. Seeing her all dressed up and grown up looking made my heart yearn for all those years I had lost with her. The years I should have been braiding her hair, loving and supporting her, being her shoulder to cry on and having her tell all her secrets to me. I was her mother and she didn't even remember me. All those years of wishing to find her had finally paid off and now looking at her she was just a total stranger: All grown up and beautiful; the most beautiful creature in the world.

"Bella, love?" Edward said as he appeared from out from behind a tree.

"Oh Edward! She is all grown up and hardly knows us. We missed all of her childhood and we can never take that back!" I sobbed tearlessly on his shoulder as he wrapped his arms around me. He held me there.

"I know love, believe me I know. But at least now we have here back and one day we can be a proper family again." He said kissing my cheek. I sighed. He was right. At least we can look forward to the future. But that still didn't stop me from grieving over the years I had lost her.

"She's my baby girl." I whispered into his shoulder.

"It's okay Bella. We'll figure this out and whoever did this to her will pay dearly." He threatened venom coating his words. "No one takes our daughter and gets away with it."

I pulled away from his embrace and stared into his eyes. "No matter what, we have to tell her soon. She has a right to know." I said. Edward nodded and brought my lips to his. We kissed passionately for a few minutes; our lips connecting with each other uniting our souls that were lost without each other.

Edward pulled away from me to speak. "No matter what." He agreed before his lips collided with mine again.
