Bella's POV
I can't believe my baby is leaving for college! It feels like she was just born. Geez now I know what my Dad felt like when I told him I was getting marri-Don't think of him Bella. I decided to check on Renesmee to distract myself.
I got upstairs in time to see her put the last item in her boxes. It looked like a picture. I moved closer to get a better look at it. I recognized the picture and I remember the day it was taken.
"Momma! Momma!" Renesmee called to me coming back from playing near the water. We wouldn't let her get in because the windy was nippy.
"What is it honey?" I asked as she came up to me. Jacob and I took her to first beach to celebrate her 4th birthday. She sat down next to me and opened her hand to reveal a hermit crab.
"Where did you get that?" Jacob asked looking over our shoulders.
"I found it on the edge of the water and I wanted to show you guys it." She answered holding it up close to my face.
"That's wonderful honey why don't you put it down to you can open your presents." I told her while gently pushing her arm away.
"Okay" She said running towards the ocean to set it free while Jake and I got out her gifts. After she put the small crab back in its habitat she came skipping back to us and then plopped herself in Jake's lap.
"What did you get me?" She asked curiously.
"Close your eyes." Jake told her. Renesmee did as she was told and Jake pulled out a necklace with a small wooden wolf on it. It looked similar to the one he gave me for my Graduation. "Okay now open"
She opened her eyes and gasped.
"Oh Jake I love it! Thank you so muck!" She squealed giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Okay I am next." I told her while handing her the gift. I decided to give her the CD that her father gave me for my 18th birthday. She opened it up and put it in the cd player I also gave her. She hit play and my lullaby played in the air around us along with ripping my heart open.
"Oh momma it's beautiful." She said as the song came to an end.
"I know" I whispered.
"Come on let's get a picture of you two" Jake said. I know he could see the pain in my eyes and I knew he didn't want Renesmee to see.
"Renesmee?" I asked her coming out of my flashback. She turned to face me.
"Yeah mom?" She asked.
"You ready to go?"
"No" She said while crossing the space to me. Then she cried; whaled and sobbed.
