Chapter 21
The question

The sun was shining through my window into my face. Rosaline was sitting up watching UP again with a smile on her face. It was the part when Russell showed up and was introducing himself. I smiled at the movie and then looked at Rosaline.

"Good morning." I said happily. She smiled and then giggled.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

"You said funny things last night!" she said as she giggled.

I had that feeling in the pit of my stomach that was saying oh no!

"What did I say?" I asked, trying to keep the mood light.

"You were talking about Antoine." She replied. I looked down and then back at her.

"What did I say?" I asked again.

"Just how much you love him and how you wished that the pillow you were hugging was him!" she answered with a smile.

"Did I say anything else?" I questioned.

"No, not really." She answered. I nodded and then looked at the tv.

"What do you want to do today?" I asked. She pondered for a bit and then smiled.

"I want to go see Antoine!" she said excitedly.

"So do I, but I can't right now." I replied. She nodded and looked out the window. There was a knock on my door that made me jump.

"Come in!" I shouted. My mother walked in and smiled at us.

"Hey guys!" she said happily. We both smiled at her and then I looked at Rosaline.

"What should Rosaline wear?" I asked.

"That's what I came in here for. Alice, who is like a fashion diva, bought Rosaline a whole wardrobe of Gucci, Chanel, Gabbana, and other designers." She said.

Rosaline had the biggest smile on her face and I couldn't help but smile as well. My mom set the clothes down on my dresser. She smiled at us and then left the room.

"Want to look at the clothes?" I asked.

She smiled and nodded quickly. We went through the clothes and Rosaline immediately picked out a pink floral dress and put it on. She looked absolutely adorable as she twirled around in it. I could tell she was happy by the way she was beaming. Her hair was still a tangled mess and she looked at herself in the mirror.

"Do you want me to do your hair?" I asked her.

"Yes please." She said happily. I took my brush and gently untangled her hair. She sat there as I did so and looked in the mirror.

"Now, what do you want to do today, that we can actually do?" I asked. She shrugged at me, not knowing what to say.

"I want to go see Antoine." She stated. I looked down and sat on my bed.

"I know me too, but we can't." I said. She frowned at me and then walked over to the window.

"Do you want to go over to Carlisle's?" I asked her.

"Sure!" she answered excitedly.

I walked over to my closet and grabbed a summer dress. It was white with blue flowers on it. I walked over and grabbed a brush and combed my hair. We walked out of the room and into the living room, my parents weren't around and I knew that they were most likely at Carlisle's already. We ran out the door and were at Carlisle's quickly. We walked into the house and everyone was sitting around chatting amongst themselves. They smiled when Rosaline and I walked in and waved us over.

"Good morning everyone!" I said happily.

"I really want to talk to you guys about something." I stated.

They all turned to me and gave me their full attention.

"Okay, mom, dad, I know that you don't see eye to eye with me on this, but I want everyone else's opinions." I continued.

They looked at me with a stern look on their faces.

"I want everyone else to meet Antoine." I said firmly. When they didn't reply I went on.

"I want him to come over and spend an evening with our family, from what I've heard, normal families have the daughter's boyfriend come over for dinner and considering the fact that we are not a normal family, I want us all to go hunting with Antoine as our form of 'having dinner'." I finished.

They all exchanged glances and then looked back at me.

"And when will this event take place?" Carlisle asked as he stood up.

"Well, I was thinking…maybe tonight?" I answered.

He looked at my parents for a moment and then back at me. It was an awkward silence that seemed to go on forever. Finally, my father stood and walked to Carlisle's side.

"Renesmee, I don't think this is—"my mother cut him off.

"We'll give Antoine another chance, I think tonight would be fine." She said. I smiled and ran and gave her a hug.

"Thank you so much, I promise he will woo you!" I thanked.

"I'm going to go tell Antoine!" I shouted excitedly.

"Rosaline, would you mind staying here with my parents? You'll see Antoine tonight." I asked. She looked disappointed, but finally nodded.

"Don't worry Rosaline; we are going to have a great time!" Alice said excitedly as she danced over to her. I smiled and ran out the door.

I ran through the woods and I could feel my adrenaline pumping. When I finally arrived at Antoine's I stopped and beamed with excitement. I knocked on his door and he answered.

"Renesmee?!" he shouted excitedly as he took me in his arms.

"How are you?" he asked kissing my cheek.

"I am doing fantastic actually!" I shouted.

"What's got you so excited?" he asked with a big grin.

"Okay, well, my parents plan on giving you another chance in our family." I answered.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"I mean that tonight, you are going to come over and hunt with us and after that we will spend the evening chatting and my family needs to get to know you." I continued.

He beamed with excitement. His smile is so beautiful and every time I see it, I get butterflies.

"When will this event be taking place?" he questioned.

"Tonight, come over at hmmm….say 6:15ish?" I answered. He nodded and hugged me.

"I have to go; I'm going to go get ready." I stated. He pulled away and looked at me confused.

"Its 1:00 in the afternoon, it doesn't start until 6:15, that's like 5 hours away." He said.

"I know, but I have to go!" I said with a laugh.

He kissed me one last time and then I went on my way. When I got back to Carlisle's I saw everyone in the same places, Emmett was watching football, Rosalie was talking with Esme and deciding what to wear, Alice was upstairs with Rosaline, Jasper was reading a book and my parents were sitting together on the couch.

"Okay! He will come over at 6:15!" I shouted. Everyone smiled and nodded.

"I'm going to go home and get ready for tonight!" I continued.

They nodded again and I ran out the door. When I arrived at my house I locked the door and went into the bathroom and started a bath. Taking a bath can relax me when I have nerves like this. I put in my favorite bubble bath, it was vanilla scented, and walked into my room, grabbed my robe and some underwear, and went back into the bathroom and shut the door. I slipped into the warm bath water and relaxed. As I lied there, I thought about tonight and what was going to happen. I hoped my parents would love Antoine as well as everyone else. I had been in there for around 45 minutes when I saw my hands were beginning to get wrinkly, so I decided it was time to get out. I grabbed a towel, stepped out of the tub, and dried off and put my robe on. I brushed my teeth and went back into my room. I looked through my closet, wondering what to wear. I knew this would be a different evening than most so I grabbed some jeans and a tee for when we would go hunting and then I took out a blue, sparkly, strapless dress that went just below the knees and then grabbed a pair of silver stilettos. I put on the tee-shirt and jeans and some flip-flops. I looked at myself in the mirror and took in my appearance. I brushed out my curls and did my best to shape them and eventually they were perfect. I took out eyeliner, mascara, and eye shadow. I applied a gold eye shadow and then black eyeliner and after I applied some mascara. I looked at myself one last time and looked at the clock; it was only 2:30. I decided I would go over to Carlisle's and Esme's for a little while to help decorate. I ran out the door and to the Cullen's. I went inside and everyone was doing things around the house to get ready. I went over to Esme and she smiled at me.

"Is there anything I can help with?" I asked.

"You can set out some flowers." She said handing me a box full of roses.

I smiled and walked away. I went into the living room and set roses everywhere there was space. When I was finished in there I did so in every other room as well. When it was all decorated I had an hour left to kill. I sighed and went up to Alice's room to get Rosaline and bring her back home to get her ready. I knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Alice said excitedly. I walked in and Rosaline was sitting on the bed with her hair beautifully curled. I smiled at her and she rushed into my arms.

"Let's go home for a little bit and we'll pick out something to wear tonight, and Alice, thanks for the clothes." I said. Alice smiled and nodded and I left the room. We ran to my house and walked in. She ran to my room and I followed. She was already going through clothes when I got there.

"Can I wear this?" she asked, holding up a blue sparkly dress, it was just like mine, only it had straps. I smiled and nodded.

"Pick out something for when we go hunting so you won't get that dirty." I said.

She nodded and picked out jeans and a tee-shirt. She quickly dresses in them and looked in the mirror. She looked down at my makeup I left out. She slowly picked up the eyeliner and examined it, then moved on to the eye shadow and did the same, as with the mascara.

"Do you want to try some?" I asked. She looked at me and nodded.

"Okay." I said walking over to her. I picked her up and set her on the dresser where I could reach her face better. "Let's try light silver for your eyes." I said as I took my eye shadow. "Close your eyes." I instructed and she did so. I lightly applied some silver eye shadow. She opened her eyes and it looked nice on her. "Okay, now look up." I instructed and she did. I took the eyeliner and put a light layer on each lid. She looked down and I smoothed it with my fingers and it looked nice as well. "Look up again." I said and she followed the instructions. I took the mascara and opened the tube and wiped almost all of it off on the sides so that she would have much on and applied it to her eyes. She looked back at me and smiled. She turned and looked in the mirror and smiled.

"I like it!" she said excitedly.

"It makes you look very mature." I stated.

She nodded and looked back at me and smiled. We had a half hour until Antoine was going to get to the Cullen's and I decided we'd better leave. I put our dresses into plastic bags and we ran out the door. When we arrived everyone was inside sitting down. I could tell my parents weren't very excited, especially my father. I went up to Alice's room and set down our dresses and went back downstairs. I sat down next to everyone and watched T.V. It was silent, and then, there was a knock on the door. I smiled and jumped up and ran to the door. It was Antoine and I opened the door. He had a gray suit on with a navy blue shirt on underneath, he was absolutely stunning.
