Esme's POV

Fight

The horror and the pride I felt battled it out, but neither won. Though I was proud of my daughter for fighting for her friend, the fear of it being her, the fact that she had been hurt doing so, it ate at me.

It also scared me to death that Alice's fight or flight instinct had been set to fight, even if there was a safe way out for her. She would battle for Bella.

As much as I loved Bella Swan, the thought that my daughter would throw away her life to save her, filled me with dread.

Shame

Watching Alice, curled into Bella's side, offering her comfort and support, was hard to do. Not that I didn't want my child to be the kind, compassionate person she had grown into, but more so for the fact that Bella Swan was a walking time bomb. Danger followed that girls every movement, and my daughter being in her presence, just made her a target.

In that one moment, seeing the gash on my child's face and the scar that it would surely leave, I felt hatred for Bella, and I wanted her gone.

And then the shame washed over me.

Face

I felt my husband's arms wrap around me, pulling me close to him. "She is going to be fine, love. She was the lucky one."

My insides twisted with relief and sorrow, both emotions struggling for control. I moved out of my husband's embrace and stepped over to the girls, pulling Alice to me and breathing in her scent. Joy overtook me as her fragrance filled my senses, my daughter was safe, unharmed and a hero.

It was time to face the fact that my daughter was too much like me, she would risk anything for those she loved.

Name

The day we found out Bella had conceived a child, the aftermath of her vicious attack, left us all shocked and concerned.

Alice was exhausting herself trying to keep Bella in one piece. Until Alice mentioned Jasper and Edward's hope to have a child. That day everything changed.

The three of us talked, made plans and then the day arrived when Bella placed her son into my son's arms. The papers were signed and I was officially a grandmother.

The person who brought her so much pain brought the rest of us so much joy. A beautiful baby named Jacob.

Hope

Alice came to me beside herself, she had tried everything, but nothing could get through to her friend. The pain of what she had endured controlled her and we needed to come up with a plan. Alice decided that she needed to get Bella away from it all, and even though I was never one to suggest running from ones problems, I had to agree with this one.

Bella looked so broken and defeated.

But as she was handed her plane ticket, for the first time in a long time, I saw hope in her eyes and she actually smiled.
