2.) Blink

"Good morning little one," I said to Renesmee as she started waking up in her crib. Edward stood behind me smiling at his daughter. "Do you want to get ready to go to grandma and grandpa's house?"

It was weird using those words. To me they had always been Carlilse and Esme. Being so young myself I had never had the intention of making anyone grandparents much less my own. I picked up Renesmee from her crib and went and sat in the rocking chair. Edward brought me a bottle filled with elk blood, Renesmee's favorite substitute since humans were off limits. A short time later Edward helped me get her dressed. Renesmee didn't have much trouble, all ready she was picking up after her aunt Alice in wanting to be pretty for people.

It was only a few short strides to the main Cullen house. Jake was all ready waiting. Renesmee placed her hand on my cheek indicating that she wanted to be with Jacob. I reluctantly handed her over to him.

"Try not to think about it," Edward said to me as we made our way in the house.

"It's hard not to," I muttered.

Jacob's imprinting of Renesmee was a constant thorn in my side. I knew for now Jake was just a big brother to her but eventually that would change, he would become whatever Renesmee needed him to be.

My thoughts were interrupted as Carlisle asked me a direct question.

"She slept perfectly," I answered still amazed at my mind's capacity.

"She dreams a lot," Edward said. I nodded. I had seen inside her thoughts as well.

"Good for her," replied Esme, "A little girl should dream. Just don't intrude too much."

Edward nodded a little bothered by Esme's small scolding. It had always been difficult for him not to be in other people's thoughts but I knew for the sake of his daughter he would try.

I walked over to the window and watched as Jake carefully held Renesmee. He had a leaf in hand and was letting her play with it. Renesmee touched his face in return to show him something. Jake laughed.

I could see Edward's smile reflect from the window.

"What's in that head of yours?"

"Just thinking about her future is all," I replied.

Again Edward came and wrapped his arms around me. I placed a hand on his face and kept one on his hands. "She'll be okay, we all will."

"I know but it's her future I worry about. She hasn't aged anymore Edward. I know she hasn't aged since she was born but still I don't know if we should be worried."

"Well maybe it's the human side taking over. In theory if you think about it, it makes sense. She had a gestation period of just a month and now that she's no longer inside of you maybe she'll grow up the human way. Part vampire, part human."

"Guess if that's the case we should really take advantage of the time we have. I know eighteen years seems like a long time but one minute she'll be our little girl and the next…"

I couldn't even bring myself to say the words that were floating through my mind.

Edward sighed, "I know." We continued to stare at Jake and Renesmee for a little while until Edward changed the subject. "We should probably go hunting."

"I'm not really that thirsty."

"I know but just for precautionary sake. Please, for me."

I turned to face him, "Edward Cullen what are you hiding?"

His eyes lit up and he smiled one of his many smiles that I could not resist.
