Chapter 3:

Bella's POV

The next morning I was packing together with Alice and Rosalie. Renesmee was fairy excited that we were moving in with family.

Well dressed and packed we made our way back to the Cullen household.

We stepped foot inside and I took a deep breath. This I would have to get used to. I let go of Renesmee and she ran straight towards Edward who walked out of the living room. I flinched as she flung herself towards him. I was a bit worried of how he would react. However, I did not have to worry much. He caught her easily and twirled her once around. Then he held her while she proudly showed off her necklace and dress.

"Oh, really?" he asked.

I shook my head. It was no point in mixing in with them now.

Esme showed me to my room, it was on the opposite side of Edward's room, right above it, so to speak. I had my own bathroom, and Renesmee's room was connected to mine.

A low cough made me aware of another presence as I unpacked yet another box. I looked up just to meet Edward's green eyes. He was leaning against the frame of the door.

"So what's your story?" he asked.

"What do you mean?" I asked curiously back.

"With the Volturi," he pointed out.

"Oh. Well, I was the Queen before I turned my parents and uncles. It was either that or let them die," I muttered. "Then late 1800s I found Renesmee. To be honest, my life was quite miserable until I met her, she really lightened my days up," I said softly. "I saw my mate, in my future. Even if I could not see much of him, I already felt connected to him. It was as if I was blocking myself, so the time could come and I would leave it to fate…I might miss my family, but I do not want to go back with the first. I cannot…" I trailed off yet again, mainly talking aloud to myself.

"Who is 'he'?" Edward asked.

"I cannot say," I simply answered.

"Please," he pushed.

Why must he be so charming?

"Do you think I am dangerous?" I then asked. Rising from the floor.

"Why would you ask that?" he wondered.

"You push me away. You clearly do not like me, even if I did nothing to cause harm," I pointed out.

"You are Volturi," he started and sighed. "I guess I am just overprotective of my family," he then admitted and shrugged.

"You could still be a bit nicer," I grumbled.

A quiet chuckle and I looked away, biting my lip.

"The Queen of the Volturi is embarrassed?" he teased.

"No," I protested and glared at him.

He walked into the room and closed the distance between us.

Too close, my head whispered.

But you want to taste those lips of his.

Shut it!

His right index finger went under my chin and he tilted my head up.

My breathing stopped and I could only stare. Was I in a trance? If so, it had to be a first time for everything, right?

A crashing sound went through the house and it broke the connection. He turned and stormed down the stairs to check it out. With a heavy sigh, I sat down on the bed.

Why in hell did I pain myself like this? Why did I not just tell him?

"Papa," Renesmee said from downstairs. I froze. Great, just great…

I was inside Carlisle's office. Edward stood beside me, ever so confused.

"How can she be so attached to me without even knowing me?" Edward asked. I flinched.

"Edward, Renesmee is the only immortal child alive. To know what made her attached like this is beyond me. She has already made connections to the others, aunts, uncles, grandma and she calls me grandpa. Personally, we are delighted with it, but it is all up to you if you want to be her father figure or not."

I shifted my weight a bit.

"I feel connected to her in the strangest way. I do want to be there for her, but it all feels like it's too soon," Edward admitted.

No dropping the mate bond on him then, I thought with a wince. Carlisle noticed and his eyes softened.

She's waited so long for him, and he is oblivious, I heard Carlisle think and my eyes widened.

However, Edward seemed to not notice as he was busy thinking of Renesmee. I bit my lip again.

"Bella?" Carlisle asked. Gaining my attention.

"Hm?"

"Is this ok by you?"

"Oh, yeah. Of course. It is not like I can choose for her who she should see as a father. It is up to her," I admitted.

"Very well."

I briefly caught Edward staring at me from the corner of my eyes.

"There is something else, isn't it?" Edward asked.

I met Carlisle's eyes again. My eyes pleading.

"For now this is all, please leave it be, Edward," Carlisle said slowly.

"Fine," he muttered and turned on his heel, leaving the office.

"You deserve to have your mate, Bella. Which is why I saved him," Carlisle said lowly.

"He hates me. I cannot tell a male who hates me that we are mates," I whispered softly.

"You have waited so long for him. You deserve happiness," he pointed out.

I chuckled a bit dark. "Might deserve it, might not. I do not control fate I cannot control our actions. What does power matter when I cannot have the one thing I want most?"

Carlisle sighed. "Tell him. It is the only way."

I gave a brief nod and left the office.

On my way back to my room I heard giggling and curiously I crept closer to Edward's room. I peeked from the side, and I could see him tickling Renesmee. A beautiful smile graced his lips and his eyes were lighting up. She giggled and writhed a bit under him, but from that, she seemed content.

I swallowed heavily and took a step aside and then knocked on the door.

"Hey," I said with a low voice. "Is it ok if I steal Renesmee? She needs to bath," I said carefully.

"Not at all," he responded and picked her up, just to hand her over to me.

"Thank you," I said and without thinking, I leaned forward and kissed his cheek ever so quick. Then I hurried away and closed the door to my room behind me.

I took a deep breath and walked to the door leading to my bathroom. I let go of Renesmee and started to fill the tub. I undressed and helped her, and when the tub was full enough I let the water soak us both, but I made sure that she was above water (even if we were vampires I was not soulless).

"How do you feel?" I asked her as I brushed through her long hair after drying it.

"Happy," she said softly.

I dressed her in a nightdress and barefooted she exited the bathroom, while a towel still only covered me I started to brush through my hair.

"Hey, Nessie," I heard Emmett say from somewhere in the house.

"Look, look," she said. I stopped brushing.

"That nightdress is absolutely adorable!" Alice gushed.

I shook my head and put the brush away.

"Knock knock." Edward's voice startled me and I almost dropped my towel.

"Edward!" I complained. Glad I could not blush.

His eyes widened and he turned.

"Oh, so you do have the decency to turn away," I mocked.

"If you want me to watch, just tell me," he responded, back still turned. My eyes widened.

"I prefer if you exited my room altogether. I would very much like to dress and sleep," I pointed out.

And he actually had the nerve to turn and walk towards me.

"I do have powers, and I am not afraid to use them," I growled.

"But you see that as cheating," he pointed out.

"Not when on missions," I admitted with a smirk.

"I am not a mission, or am I?" he wondered.

I rolled my eyes and strode past him into my room, then I went behind the brown folding screen, lost the towel and put on a light blue nightie. It barely went over my butt, but it was very comfy.

I peeked from the side and saw him lean against the doorframe again.

"Please leave."

"Why?"

"I'm going to bed."

"And?"

"I like to sleep in peace!"

"Mhmm…"

Not caring about my state of dress, I strode past him and into Renesmee's room. She was already sitting on her bed, waiting for me to tuck her in.

"Sleep well, love," I whispered and kissed her forehead.

It would be strange to not have her beside me. However, I would manage.

"Night, mama," she said.

Edward looked at her and she stared at him. In the end he went over to her and kissed her left cheek. "Sleep well," he whispered and exited the room.

I left the door halfway open so she could find either of us if she got scared. Then I left my door halfway open as well, it gave me a strange assurance.

I laid down in bed under the blue sheets and turned a bit restless. I was not familiar with this at all. And I almost felt like I needed Renesmee more than she needed me.

Grow up.

I am old. So I am grown.

Stop being such a baby then.

I am not.

Yes you are…

"You seem deep in thought. Not sleepy?" Edward's voice rung through the room and I let the sheets cover my head.

"Go away," I growled.

"Oh, don't mind me," he said lightly

"Why can't you just watch Renesmee instead?" I asked, annoyed.

"She's already asleep."

"Oh, great," I muttered.

I heard him sigh and then his steps sounded through the room. The bed shifted and I stiffened. An arm snuck around me, above the sheets, but it strangely felt comforting.

"What are you doing?" I hissed.

"Just shut up and admit you do not like sleeping alone," he muttered.

"I always have Renesmee with me," I defended.

"Admit it."

I uncovered my face.

"Fine. I am uncomfortable sleeping alone. Better?"

"Just a bit." There was a minute of silence. "Sleep," he then whispered.

Strangely enough, I did just that.

Any questions?

Hope you liked it : )
