Chapter Ten:

E.P.O.V

I closed my eyes and willed myself to finally stand up. I wasn't going to give up. Not on Renesmee.

I looked up at the sky. "I will always love you…"

I turned around and rocketed through the woods.

"Where is she?" I asked Esme. She was in the front of the house, a distant look in her eyes.

"Do you mean Alice, or your daughter?"

"What about Alice? And Jasper? I wonder where they went. Do you know, maybe?"

I shook my head and ran inside. Esme was to depressed to focus. That was obvious.

Rose was holding a now sleeping Renesmee in her arms. "She has some of the cutest things to tell you, Edward! Just wait till she wakes up!"

I walked over to the little girl. My little girl. I bent on my knees to get a better look. "How is she doing? Does she ask about her mother?"

"A lot of her questions revolve around her, yes. I don't see why though. She never really met Bella…"

I growled. "She did live INSIDE OF HER!"

"Rose." Emmett's stern voice said from behind me. "Let Edward spend time with Renesmee. I think you've stolen her away for enough time now."

"Shut up Emmett!" She said, protectivley. Renesmee stirred in her arms.

"Shut up the both of you!" I said. "She's trying to sleep."

I took the sleeping girl in my arms and kissed her cheek. Blood ran through her veins, and she had a beating heart, but there was so much about her that just screamed VAMPIRE!

Her pale skin and unbelieavable beauty as one. And her strength. I could just feel it. She was a tough little girl. Although some of that had to of come from her mother…
