Edward POV:

"He loves you like I love Bella. Jacob loves you!" I shouted. Nessie did not open her eyes, she didn't even move. All of a sudden she immediately started drifting down to the ground. I instantly caught her in the same second and slowly sat on the ground, cradling he tightly in my arms."Nessie?" I practically whispered, afraid that she might vanish just beyond that. "Nessie?" I mumbled again, startled that she did not answer the first time.

Breathe Edward, breathe. To cool myself down, I listened to racing beat of her heart. Thum-Thump-Thum-Thump. That always helped. After I finally settled down, I decided to be the fatherly figure and investigate by scanning through her thoughts.

What have I done? What have I done? It was the same thing over and over.

"Nessie?" I almost shouted, not standing the uncomfortable silence, it killed me too much to see Renemsee this way, it always did. She fluttered her eyes open and gave me a blank stare. She blinked rapidly to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

"Where am I?" She croaked softly, rubbing her eyes.

"Your--in the woods...you fell unconscious." I stumbled softly. She gave a soft yawn. "Oh." She replied as if she lost her memory.

What happened? I quickly answered her question,"I told you that--that Jacob loves you with deep, very deep passion." She froze in total shock by this. Her face turned a lighter shade of pale, if that were possible. If I wasn't cradling her body, she would have fell unconscious again. Her eyes immediately overflowed with tears. She began sobbing in my shirt, making it soaking wet.

"Shhh..." I soothed,"everything will be okay." She pulled out of my shirt and gave me a watery glare, her eyes a stinging red. If I could cry, I would have. "No it won't," she said dangerously,"look at what I've done." I shook my head and sighed,"You didn't know..." She eyed me with a puzzled look and began to sniffle.

Didn't know what? I chuckled,"You didn't know about Jacob..."

Yeah, I do... I gave her a fatherly look and began my story,"When you were born Nessie, everyone was happy, scared, and angry. I--I didn't want you to be born, because..." It was difficult to spit the words out, "because you were killing Bella..." Her eyes immediately turned to large, wide circles. Her jaw dropped. I tried to search her thoughts, nothing. She softly began sobbing in my shirt once more,"I hurt everybody!" She moaned through sobs. I rubbed my hand on her shoulder, feeling her pain.

"Don't worry, Renesmee. It wasn't your fault. I will always love you, no matter what. And so does everyone else, you know that." She found the function to stop crying, and slowly lifted her head to stare into my topaz eyes. She nodded slowly and buried her head into my shirt. I pulled her closer and rubbed my hand against her back, her skin felt like the sun compared to mine.

"Anyway," I began again, "Jacob felt that way too, but when he saw you he--he imprinted on you." She lifted her head out of my shirt and gave the look when someone thinks your crazy.

I shook my head and chuckled, happy to notice that her eyes were not that stinging red I expected it to be,"You don't know much about werewolves than you think, Nessie." She turned her tight line into a crooked smile, blushing slightly. I was happy to see the old Nessie back.

"See the thing is Nessie, is that werewolves have this thing called imprinting. It doesn't happen to all werewolves, but only a few. It's when a werewolf first sees someone, they immediately fall in love with them. And that's what happened to Jacob, he fell in love with you, in that sort of way."

She stared at me as if I didn't speak. I shook my head and chuckled.

"Jacob didn't use to love you like this. You used to feel the need to protect you, but now--now he just feels more...Actually," I added, "I almost killed him a couple days you were born because he imprinted on you."

Nessie gave a sigh. "But, I don't love him...how could I love my best friend that way?" My lips made a hard line, this is what happened to Bella and Jacob. Now, it was happening to my daughter...

"I love someone else," she sighed softly. I squeezed her closer, not wanting to let her face this alone,"You're going to be with Jacob a couple days, in La Push. He wants to spend sometime with you...Nessie?" She stared into my honey gold eyes once more,"Don't you ever tell him, not ever." She shook her head up and down slowly, but I could tell that this just went in her ear and out the other.

"Dad?" I almost jumped a little that she spoke, I wasn't expecting that. I nodded slowly as I cooled myself down. "A couple weeks ago, Susie told me something, something important..." I urged her with my eyes to continue.

"She was in the woods one day and she saw something....she saw one of us...hunting" I completely froze, accidentally dropping Nessie to the freezing ground. I couldn't move, couldn't breathe, couldn't even think. It wasn't until I heard Renesmee cuss that got me completely awake.

"Dad!"

I focused my eyes on her and scooped her up, ignoring her constant complaining. I ran at vampire speed to the house, weaving through the trees without realizing what I was doing.

Nomads pass through here all the time, but rarely. It's been eight years since a nomad has been here, and we told almost all the nomads, or anyone for that matter, to stay out of our territory. But something was...puzzling about this one.

How could I not know that someone was here without smelling their scent? How could I not even realize this? These questions confused me even more, but I would figure them out sooner of later.

As the house appeared, I gradually pushed myself harder. I reached the door in seconds and barged in yelling at the top of my lungs, hoping everyone would understand,"Someone's here!" Sure enough, they did.
