Okay I hope I don't confuse you by switching POVs in the middle, it just worked out better that way, I guess. R & R & R.

Chapter 2: Understanding The Past

Renesmee POV

Mom sat down on the bed with me again. She held my hands as I sobbed. I needed Jake with me. I felt empty and alone without him. I was greatful Grandpa Carlisle was going with dad, at least he'd keep dad from hurting Jacob.

"I think it's time we discuss the past, Renesmee." Mom said, gently.

"Why?" I asked. What did the past have to do with me?

"Because there are things you need to know, to understand why your father is the way he is about you and Jacob. Things we've kept from you and for good reason. We needed to wait until you were older, so you could better understand what I'm going to tell you. We've decided I should tell you, which is why dad, Jacob and Carlisle had to leave. I believe you are mature enough now to fully grasp the complications of my relationship with your father and how Jacob became part of our lives. You're not going to like it, I know that. But it's unfair for you not to know." Mom took a deep breath. "Alice and Jasper should be here soon, and then we can get started. This is very complex and Jasper will be here to keep you calm for the baby's sake. Alice will be here for moral support." Mom explained.

As if on cue Alice skipped into my room with Jasper on her heels.

"Thanks for coming, I appreciate it." Mom told them. Aunt Alice gave mom a big hug before sitting beside me on the bed. Uncle Jasper sat in the rocking chair that was formerly mom's.

"We know how hard this is going to be. We're here for both of you." Aunt Alice chirped. Uncle Jasper nodded in agreement. I waited for mom to start.

Bella POV

"Before you were born, before your father and I got married. Your father left me, after your uncle Jasper tried to eat me," Alice, Jasper and I all laughed. "I prayed for death, I wanted to die, I couldn't live without him. I was a zombie, no heart, no soul, useless. Jacob had always been my best friend and I looked to him to help put me back together, which was cruel in and of itself, because I was using him to gain the strength to fight for your father. During the 4 months we spent together rebuilding two completely trashed motorcycles, he fell in love with me."

I stopped and gauged my daughter's reaction to this.

"I didn't realize it at the time, but I'd fallen in love with him, too. Granted it wasn't same love I felt for your father, which was much more Earth-shattering for me, but it was enough where I had to choose what was best for me." I stopped letting Renesmee absorb this.

"Your father thought I had committed suicide because he left and aunt Rosalie mistakenly told him I was dead. He went to Italy to ask the Volturi to grant his wish for death. He was denied and Alice and I raced around the world to save him. We got there in time, thank God. Your father and I got back together and came home. Later that night he asked me to marry him. I said no and put my mortaliy to a vote of the family. It wound up being mostly in favor with only Rosalie and your father against it. Jacob reminded your father about the treaty, which stated the Cullens couldn't create another vampire. Rosalie explained why she was so jealous of me, because I was human and could concieve a child and she couldn't. So when I was pregnant with you, Rosalie lived vicariously through me." I finished. Renesmee looked calm.

"You need to understand, sweetie, You see your father is a bit prone to overreaction. He always has been and always will be. It's just how he is." I promised.

"Dad hates Jacob, because you two fell in love, when he left, to protect you, from Uncle Jas?" Ness asked me confused.

"That's the simplified version, yes." I laughed, relieved she was taking it so well.

"Please tell me you didn't do anything with Jacob." She begged her face turning green.

"Relax, we kissed, once. But if you ask Jacob, he'll most likely say we kissed twice, but I count the first one as an assault." I laughed. Nessie leaned back against her pillows.

"You're sure." She asked. I laughed.

"Do you really wanna know?" I teased.

"How far?" She snarled.

"I kissed Jacob. Everything else, physically intimate or otherwise I only did with your father, I promise you." I admitted.

"But there's still so much that we haven't done yet." I heard his voice behind me. I didn't hear him come in. How odd?

"I don't really wanna know about your sex life. Gross." Renesmee stuck her tongue out.

"How did you think you got here?" Edward asked, walking up behind me, holding my shoulders.

"The same way I got pregnant, but still, gross." Renesmee laughed.

"I'm still curious about the pregnancy, though. It'll be interesting." Edward murmured. We all heard him though.

"What about it?" Jasper asked.

"Well, think about it. Renesmee is already ½ vampire, ½ human, she has the stubborness of both Bella and I. She's a vampire-human-hybrid, with an extremely stubborn teenage attitude and out-of-control vampire emotions. Since, Jacob got her pregnant and he's a werewolf, carrying the werewolf gene, her emotions will be completely unpredictable. Renesmee is now the only ½ human, ½ vampire, Hybrid with raging Werewolf Pregnancy Hormones going haywire throughout her veins." Edward explained.

"How bad will it be?" I asked. Edward shook his head.

"I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Renesmee'll be the only ½ human, ½ vampire, hybrid, part-werewolf to exist." Edward shrugged. "It seems we'll again be creating a lot of problems for ourselves and making history in the process."
