Bella's POV

Carlisle and I finished hunting extremely quickly considering that there wasn't much variety today, since it was the end of winter and many animals were still hibernating. Carlisle woke a grizzly bear and attempted to wrestle it until he realized that we should probably get to the house soon. I settled for an elk and right after I finished Carlisle attempted to scare me. I don't think he has still gotten used to the fact that fragile, delicate Bella has been replaced by strong, unbreakable, vampire Bella. He was about to lean down and press his lips onto mine until I said

"Wait. Can't Edward hear your thoughts? I know he didn't hear them before…but who's to say he might just hear you?" I said, suddenly frightened again.

"Bella love, he is completely and utterly oblivious to everyone. Hadn't you noticed that yet?" he said with a faint smile.

"Yeah but what about--"

"Also, I have living with Edward for over hundred years. I think I can manage to keep my thoughts about you from Edward. Even though it will be excruciatingly painful not to think about you. I will manage" He said.

Suddenly, what he said made sense and I was no longer worried about Edward.

We walked hand in hand back to the house, talking our time. As soon as the house was in our view, he let go of my hand reluctantly and said

"I will walk in. Afterward, wait about three minutes to make it less suspicious. I'm sorry that we have to meet this way, I really am. I promise I will make it up to you" and with that, he quickly kissed my forehead and left. I felt an ache when he left, but I also felt more complete than I had in days. I listened to Carlisle and waited.

Never in my existence has three minutes gone by so slowly.

Once the three minutes were up, I hastily ran to the house and walked through the door.

"Hi Bella" Alice said cheerily.

Not only did I have to worry about Edward, but now Alice. Had she seen the future and what I had done? She sensed my uneasiness and led me upstairs, where our voices were muffled from the rest of the family.

"Bella, I know what's going on" Alice said.

I froze.

I should have known this was going to happen sooner or later, but I had hoped later. I was humiliated that I had let down Alice as a friend, Edward as a wife, and now Renesmee as the terrible mother that I realized I have become. I hung my head low, not wanting to meet Alice's eyes.

"Bella, it's alright" Alice said, lifting my head up forcing me to look at her.

"Edward has been acting really shitty towards you, and I've been trying to tell him that you're probably lonely. He just won't listen to me and thinks that you are just fine. Even though what you did is wrong, I can see why you did it" She said. This is why Alice is my best friend I thought as I gave her a huge hug.

"Even though Edward is my brother, for all intents and purposes, you are my best friend and I can see you're hurting. I will try to get Edward to stop worrying about Renesmee, so that he can be with you. In the meantime, try to stay away from Carlisle. I will try my best to keep my thoughts from him. Instead of being angry toward Renesmee, try to be with her too so you can also be with Edward. Don't worry, everything will go back to normal soon enough."

We both walked downstairs and I sat down on the couch next to Emmett, waiting for Edward to even acknowledge the fact that I'm back.

"Hey Bella. I haven't heard you and Edward getting busy in awhile, anything wrong?" Emmett said, amusement coloring his voice.

If I could have blushed, I would have been scarlet red. If I could have cried, there would have been tears streaming down my face. But vampires don't cry, and vampires don't blush. So I sat there, and tried to remain unfazed.

"Shut up Emmett. From what I hear, you and Rosalie aren't "getting busy" either" I said, trying to make a joke.

I heard Alice's tinkling laugh, while Emmett grumbled and continued watching football on the obscenely huge television.

"Bella? I didn't even notice you there" said Edward

Well of course he didn't notice me. Maybe if he would spend one second away from Renesmee, he would notice. I thought.

"Yeah, I just got back about ten minutes ago" I said, trying not to sound angry, or resentful, but rather normal. I walked over to Edward and wrapped my arms around him.

"Hey, why don't we go back to the cottage" I whispered seductively into his ear.

"Oh, I'm about to go hunting in a few minutes. Maybe we can go later, but in the meantime, can you watch Renesmee for me while I'm gone?" he said. He was completely unaware of the fact that he just passed up an offer for sex. I was outraged. Not that he didn't want to have sex with me, but the fact that what I say to him, doesn't matter and that he no longer listens to me. If the entire family wasn't in the room, I probably would have buckled down to the floor and erupted into silent sobs.

"Okay, sure" I said.

"Thanks honey" He said as he left. He didn't even kiss me goodbye…I thought.

I heard the door shut and I knew he was gone. I walked over to the table where Renesmee was sitting and wondered why Edward was so fascinated by her. I looked at her closely and realized she was beautiful. She was also aging at an extreme pace. It has only been about three weeks and it looked as if she was twelve years old. Even though physically she looked twelve, but I knew that mentally, she was about five.

"Mommy" she said and gave me a hug. At that moment, I knew that I couldn't blame Renesmee for anything that was happening.

She was incredibly sweet, fascinating, beautiful….maybe I just couldn't compete with her.

Maybe that was the reason Edward no longer loves me.
