Chapter 2

Rosalie stood frozen in her spot not knowing what to do at that very moment because the large wolf was blocking her only escape and there's no way she could jump out the window, not with the rest of those mutts outside.

As she saw the wolf draw dangerously closer Rosalie backed away hoping that by some miracle something or someone would help save Renesmee. She didn't care what happened to her as long as Renesmee lived to see her first prom.

"Dog if you know what's good for you you'll tuck your tail between your legs and walk away right now before you feel the extent of my wrath" Rosalie seethed at the wolf who growled back at her in return.

Just then as Renesmee gave out a tiny cry as the wolf took this time to make its next move. As Rosalie saw this she swiftly but gently tightened her hold on Renesmee burying the child's tiny head into her chest, preparing herself for what could happen.

She had never considered herself to be a religious type of person who believed in god and all that crap, but right now Rosalie prayed to the high heavens for a miracle in hopes that someone somewhere would help save this poor child and her family from being torn to pieces by these wolves.

At that very moment in time Edward was trying with all his might to get back inside the house to save his daughter from Jacob, but was having some serious trouble doing so as the wolves had gained the upper hand and were putting up one hell of a fight. Alice had managed to be pinned down by Paul for a few minutes but Leah had saved her.

"Can't believe we finally get to take these bloodsuckers out, it's about damn time" Edward heard Paul say as he projected his thoughts out loud.

"God damn pixie bitch I'm gonna tare her head off!" Jared cursed as Alice broke his foot.

"What the hell did Bella see in these leeches? Seriously they fight like pussy's" Embry commented.

"Last chance Leah, stand by your pack or I'll take you down myself" said Sam as he and Leah faced off.

"Go ahead, I dare you! At least if I die I'll be free of you!" Leah yelled back at him.

"Sam stop this is crazy! Just leave us alone!" Seth bless his soul yelled to his once alpha.

"Edward to your right!" he heard Carlisle shout to him, which snapped him back to reality as he turned to see one of the wolves charging at him.

As he leapt up a tree to get away from the wolf that was snapping its teeth at him Edward heard something that made his whole being shake.

"Daddy help! Help us! He's coming, the monsters coming!" a voice rang in his head, a voice that Edward recognised. As he turned his head to face the house he spotted Rosalie with his daughter in held protectively in her arms, but that wasn't what caught his attention, oh no, what he saw next really put him on edge. There in the room with them was Jacob who had both girls trapped and was looking just about ready to pounce.

No, no this couldn't happen. He had already failed Bella by allowing her to die, he was not about to loose their daughter. Wolves or no wolves his little girl was calling out to him, screaming for help and hell would freeze over first before he allowed these dogs to get their paws on his daughter. His own life be damned.

Just as he saw Paul jump up at him Edward thinking quick on his feet jaw kicked the wolf sending him flying into another pack member.

"Emmett!" Edward yelled getting his brothers attention who was at that very moment fighting off another wolf who came at him.

"What!" Emmett yelled back at his brother keeping his eyes on the wolves the whole time.

"You gotta clear a path for me!" Edward yelled as he saw Paul get back up looking more pissed off than before.

"What?" Emmett yelled back in confusion to his brother's request.

"Rosalie and the baby are in trouble you gotta clear a path for me so I can get to them!" Edward yelled to his brother as Paul leaped up at him again.

At the mention of his wife being in danger Emmett gave a good kicking to one of his attackers before he took that opportunity to run at Paul while he wasn't looking at smash into him so they both went flying.

Grabbing his chance Edward leaped down from the branch and ran as fast as he could toward the house, but before he could reach the door he felt something sharp cut right through his leg. He turned round to see one of the wolves with its teeth in his leg dragging him away from the house and though he put up a struggle and tried with all his might to kick the damn wolf off Edward found this to be an impossible task.

"Edward!" Esme screamed as she saw her son in peril.

"Son!" Carlisle yelled whilst struggling against a wolf himself.

"Get the hell off me you mutt!" Edward yelled as the wolf continued to yank and tare at his leg.

Suddenly a large growl was heard and within seconds Edward's attacker was gone, and as he looked round he saw the reason. There facing off the other wolf was Seth.

"Edward go! Now!" Seth yelled to his vampire friend as he ripped into Jared's neck whom in return snapped back by biting at Seth's left ear making him whimper in pain as Jared then clawed him in the face.

Like a bolt of lightning Edward seized the opportunity that Seth (god bless him) had given him to run back in the house and save his daughter.

Meanwhile back upstairs Rosalie was almost out of prayers as she and Renesmee were now literally cornered in the room. The wolf had snapped his teeth a few times at Renesmee but in doing so Rosalie had growled back in warning while moving further away from the crazed wolf.

Right then Rosalie could have sworn she saw the wolf smirk as he stopped in his tracks making Rosalie swallow a lump in her throat. Was this it? Was there no hope at all? Holding the tiny infant close to her unbeating heart she got lost in her thoughts.

Rosalie's POV

God if this you punishing me for my sins then I accept it, but I only have one last request. Please watch over my family. I know I don't deserve it but if I had one last chance I would ask their forgiveness for all I've put them through and tell them all just how much I love them.

Carlisle I'm sorry I blamed you for turning me. I know I've always said that I hated becoming a vampire, but had you never have brought me into this life I would never of become apart of the greatest family anybody could ask for.

Esme you were the most loving and caring person I've ever known, you were there for me even when I gave you reason to hate me. You are truly an angel of mercy who any child would adore for a mother, as I will always adore you.

Jasper you were my inspiration, you fought the toughest of battles but no matter how much life got you down you always managed to make it through and come back stronger each time.

Alice you were without a doubt the craziest most hyperactive person I know, but were also the most fun loving person I ever had the pleasure of meeting and I will always treasure the time we've had together my sister.

Edward although we may have had our ups and downs you were a true friend and brother to me and I'm sorry I turned my back on you when you truly needed a hand. I was never supportive of you and Bella, for that I'm really sorry.

Bella I could say all the sorry's in the world but I know it wouldn't be enough. Out of all the family I treated you the worst because I held a pitiful grudge against you. I tried to make you feel awful and hoped that you would change your mind about becoming immortal so you could go onto live your life the way I wanted to live mine. But after you bravely carried my brother's child I finally see that you never took your humanity for granted, you treasured it then it gave it to bring the most beautiful baby into this world. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you, I hope wherever you are now you've found peace.

Emmett there's so much I want to say to you in so little time. After Royce I felt like my whole life had just fallen into a black hole and vanished, as though I had somehow served my purpose in life. I never understood why Carlisle chose to turn me as I had no reason to carry on. That is until I met you. You gave me a new purpose in life, you showed me courage, strength and above all taught me how to love again. You're my love, my life, my entire world and no matter what happens I will always be yours as you will always be mine.

Finally Renesmee. I'm sorry you were born into a world full of war, it should never have been like this. Your birth was supposed to be the celebration of something beautiful, but it turned out to be a complete disaster. I only wish things could have been so much different, that non of this was happening, that we could have saved you.

With that last thought I watched as the dog ran straight at me in which I took a deep breath as he leaped in the air drawing closer and closer and then…

ROAR!

Echoed through the room as my eyes flew open to see another wolf standing in front of me in what I thought to be a protective stance whilst the other dog was thrown back into the dressing table with a massive crash.

I took notice how the grey wolf was growling at the other one, which I didn't understand. But before I could question this any further I saw the burgundy wolf get off the floor and begin growling at the wolf grey wolf. They stood there challenging each other for a minute before the burgundy one broke into a run, but as he did I saw the wolf fly out the window as a blurred figure appeared out of nowhere.

Edward

"Leah go" he instructed as the grey wolf who I now knew was Leah leapt out the window. As Edward turned to face me I couldn't help but notice how awful he looked, his face was scratched up and covered in blood (from Bella), there was a chunk missing out his right shoulder, his shirt was in tatters and the bottom of his trouser leg was ripped.

"Rosalie we don't have much time you got to get Renesmee out of here now" he said snapping me out my thoughts.

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

"You gotta take Renesmee and get as far away from here as possible" he said while looking at his daughter.

"W-what? Edward I can't just leave my family behind when you guys need me most and plus those dogs have got this place surrounded" I said.

"Don't worry about the dogs Emmet and I have it covered" he said.

"Edward I..." I started but he interrupted.

"Rosalie I don't like this any more than you do, but at this point we don't have a choice. Think about Renesmee" he said as I looked down at the little girl in my arms who was looking up at me with her innocent little eyes. I knew Edward was right about this being the only choice, if we wanted keep Renesmee alive then we would have to do what's best.

"Ok I'll do it" I said as he then reached for his daughter and gently took her from my arms and into his own. I decided to give him a moment while I flashed round the room to gather and pack what I would need such as money, clothes, passport and whatever else was important.

Edward's POV

I couldn't believe this was happening, I really couldn't. It was like a horrific nightmare come true.

Bella was dead, the wolves were on a killing spree, my family were being mauled and to top it off I now have to say goodbye to my newly born daughter. All because that dog couldn't handle the fact that Bella loved me and had been carrying my child.

My wife had given it her all to save our baby girl, she had sacrificed her own life so Renesmee could live.

The moment I saw the light go out in my loves eyes was the moment I knew I had no means to go on. The moment her light went out I was consumed by a cold endless night. Bella was the reason for my very existence, and without her nothing made sense.

As I looked down at my daughter who was lying quietly in my arms I realised that this was the first and possibly the last time I will ever get to hold my baby girl, which pained me even more. The thought that I will never get to hold my child again or even watch her grow up (if she could that is) just made my suffering more unbearable.

I didn't care what happened to me, as long as my daughter got as far away from here and was given a chance to live was all that mattered to me.

Just then like she knew what I was thinking Renesmee looked up at me, and in that moment I noticed something. Her eyes. She had Bella's eyes. Two big doe like eyes that unlike her mothers were a beautiful caramel colour, where as Bella's were chocolate brown. I could tell right then that my daughter would break the hearts of many who would be lucky to have her in their life.

I wished more than anything that things could have been different. I wished that this war wasn't happening. I wished that Bella was still alive, that I hadn't been too late to save her, that she could have been here to see our daughter. But alas it wasn't to be. Now my poor daughter was having too lose both her parents for sake that she would, no that she will have a future.

"Daddy, where's mommy?" I heard my daughter ask in her thoughts as she then reached her tiny hand up to my cheek and then the most mysterious thing happened as I saw Bella on the medical bed with myself holding Renesmee as my wife whispered the words 'beautiful' before it suddenly ended.

"What was that?" I asked my daughter who had a soft smile on her face.

"That was my power daddy. I can show people what I'm thinking" she said as this astonished me. My daughter not only had a power, but it was a remarkable one at that.

"You can project your thoughts?" I asked her.

"Yeah it's easy" Renesmee said sounding extremely cute.

"But why that thought in particular" I asked her.

"Because I was wondering why mommy looked so sick. Is she ok daddy? Will I see her soon?" she asked and in that moment my heart broke all over again.

I could tell how much she longed to see Bella, and it wasn't just because I could hear her thoughts, it was in her eyes and her voice. She wanted to meet her mother so bad, but how could I tell her? How could I tell my only child that her mother was no longer with us? That Bella hadn't survived the birth. It would destroy Renesmee for sure. No, I wouldn't do that to my daughter. Instead I did the only thing I could, I lied.

"Yeah, yeah sure you'll see her soon. Mommy's just very tired at the moment and needs plenty of sleep, but she told me to tell you that she can't wait to meet you and that she loves you more than anything in the world" I said as I could practically feel myself twisting the knife of my lies.

"I love her too daddy, I hope she wakes up soon" my sweet daughter said as she was practically jumping for joy at the thought of seeing Bella again. And the knife just kept twisting.

Just then Rosalie who now had a packed bag in hand along with a baby blanket interrupted our father/daughter moment. She looked at me with sorrow while trying not to break down, and I knew why. It was time. Time to say goodbye. I then turned back to my daughter and gave her forehead a kiss, closing my eyes as I took in her scent and this moment.

"Renesmee, I need you to listen to me now because this is extremely important" I said as she looked at me with interest while I took in a deep breath to get out the next part. "You're going to away with your aunt Rosalie for a while ok?" I said.

"What? B-but why daddy?" Renesmee she asked with a confused yet sad expression in her eyes. "Did I do something wrong?" she asked and oh she couldn't have been more wrong if she tried.

"Never. You have done nothing wrong, you hear me? Nothing" I said scorning that she could think such a thing. I wouldn't let her, not ever.

"Then why am I going away?" she asked sounding as though she was about to cry, which cut me deep.

"It's just not safe for you here right now Renesmee, I need you to go with Rosalie so she can take you somewhere safe" I said trying to get her to understand this situation.

"Is it because of the monster daddy?" she asked causing me to smile at the humour that my daughter had only be born a few hours ago and was yet already so intelligent.

"Yes. Yes it's because of the monsters. They're the reason why you have to go away, so I can protect you and make sure that they never hurt you. Ever" I said as I heard Rosalie dry sob behind me.

"But I wanna stay here daddy, I want to stay with you and mamma. You'll get hurt" Renesmee said as I saw the tears sparkling in her eyes. This was ripping me apart from the inside out, but it had to be done.

"Don't worry about us, we'll be fine" I lied. "But just know this. You are without a doubt the best thing that has happened to your mother and me, ever. You're our little girl, our beautiful miracle, and we wouldn't trade you for anything in the world. You make us so proud as parents, just as you always will. No matter where you are or where you go just know that we love you more than our lives, for eternity my little Renesmee" I said as it was taking everything in me to keep the tears back. I couldn't show how I was truly feeling in front of Renesmee because if I did then she would know something was wrong.

"I love you daddy, I love you and mamma both so much. You're the best parents in the world, and I'll miss you to the stars and back" she said as I saw the tears run down her face as I wiped them away with my thumb.

"Take care, my little Renesmee" I said as I kissed her forehead one last time before hesitantly handed her over to Rosalie who then wrapped her up in the baby blanket.

"Remember, no matter what happens or what you hear. Just. Keep. Going" I instructed her taking the role of an over protective father as Rosalie nodded in return.

"I will, just be careful Edward. And tell Emmet I love him" Rosalie pleaded with me as I nodded back.

"Take care of her Rose, make sure she grows up to lead a perfect life. Tell her parents story, of how the most incredible human girl melted a vampires heart. Tell her how much her parents love her and that we did everything we could to protect our daughter" I said feeling the tears stinging my eyes.

"I promise, I'll tell her everyday" she sobbed as we then embraced each other before I felt her place a kiss against my cheek as I returned the gesture by kissing her forehead.

"Go" I whispered as I closed my eyes in agony.

"Edward" I heard her say.

"Go. Now" I said more strongly this time as I felt her kiss me one last time, before I felt nothing and opened my eyes to see that both Rosalie and Renesmee were gone.

Authors note: God speed girls, god speed. I had a hard time not crying while writing this chapter. So sad.
