The next morning I sat on Seth's bed with Renesmee curled into me. I watched the sun stream in through the window and shine on her sleeping face. I reached out to move the curtain so I could see outside better. The sun wouldn't be out for very long today, but it wasn't supposed to rain. Which was a good thing because the wedding was being held down at the beach.
"Time to get the flower girl up." Leah whispered as she opened the bedroom door.
I smiled down at my sleeping daughter, and bent down to whisper into her ear. "Wake up sleeping beauty. Time to get ready for the wedding."
"Sleep time." Renesmee mumbled, and rolled away from me.
"Nope! Time to get up." I pulled the blankets off of her and she curled herself into a tiny ball.
"moooom!" Renesmee wined opening one eye to look at me.
"You should be excited! You get to wear your pretty dress."
Renesmee sat up quickly, "Oh yeah! Out of my way!" Renesmee leaped over me and ran out of the bedroom. I followed her down the hall into the living room.
Emily was in the kitchen making coffee, Sue was bent over the kitchen table moaning, and Leah was hanging up dresses in the doorway from the living room to the kitchen.
"Where's mine?" Renesmee asked looking at Leah and Sue's dress hanging up.
"Your aunts will be bringing yours and your mothers. They're coming to do our hair and makeup." Leah told her.
"Oh, ok. I'm hungry." Renesmee said as she climbed onto the chair next to Sue. "What's wrong with you?"
"Too much alcohol." Sue mumbled as she took another sip of her drink Emily made her.
"That smells gross. You going to throw that up?" Renesmee asked. She leaned over sniffing at the green soupy drink in front of Sue.
"I wish I could throw it up."
Renesmee scrunched up her nose and shivered. "Yuck, hey mom, can I umm… come here." She held her hand out to show me what she wanted to say.
I walked over to her and knelt in front of her. She placed her hand on my cheek, and I immediately saw visions of her hunting.
"I don't think we'll have time. Have some cereal or something. Want Eggs?" I asked taking her hand away from my face.
"No! Please I'll have daddy take me… or Jakey."
"Hold on." I sighed and pulled out my cell phone.
Edward answered on the first ring. "Yes, my love." He said softly into the phone. I could hear Emmett and Jasper in the background teasing him. Carlisle and Charlie were talking a little further away.
"Your daughter wants to hunt for breakfast. She said it's fine if either you or Jacob take her. We still have a little while before Rose and Alice get here."
"I'll take her. Jacob ran home to help Billy get ready."
"I'll meet you half way."
"No, your not going out alone. I'll come get her."
I rolled my eyes. "Fine." I sighed and hung up the phone.
Renesmee was smiling as I turned to look at her.
"Daddy will take you. Go get dressed so you can leave as soon as he gets here."
Renesmee took off running down the hall to get changed.
She came out just as Edward walked through the front door.
"Ready to go?" He asked as she bounced to his side.
"You bet! Can I do it myself?"
"Elk, yes. Deer, yes. Mountain lions, no."
"I like hunting with mommy." Renesmee huffed.
Edward laughed and lead her out the door. "Well your mother likes to do the opposite of what I say."
I made a face at him, and he smirked at me as he shut the door behind him. I looked out the window, and smiled as I watched Renesmee run around Edward. He laughed as he reached for her, and lifter her onto his back. She pointed in the direction she wanted to go in and they disappeared.
An hour later Alice and Rosalie walked in with mine and Renesmee's dresses.
"I'll start on Sue's hair, and you start on her makeup." Alice told Rosalie. Of course she didn't waist any time from the moment she walked through the front door.
Sue sat in the middle of the living room with her drink clutched in her hands. "What did you guys do to her?" Alice asked as she looked over Sue.
"She's a walking zombie." Rosalie laughed.
"It was all Leah. She got her drunk." I smiled crossing my arms across my chest.
Rosalie rolled her eyes. "Nice, pup. This is going to take all day to get her to look human."
"Shut up parasite." Leah snapped.
I moved between them, and pushed Leah away. "That's enough. Please don't ruin this for my father and Sue."
Leah huffed.
Rosalie rolled her eyes.
"Thank you." I sighed.
"Hey ladies!" Sam smiled as he walked into the house.
"Baby!" I sang as I walked over to him.
He laughed, and handed Jayden to me. "I cant believe how little he is." I cooed over the sleeping baby. "Ness was twice his size when she was born." I sighed as I rocked the baby in my arms.
"Really? You must have been… never mind." Sam decided not to finish his sentence, and I was thankful.
"My boys!" Emily smiled widely as she walked into the living room. She bent over and kissed Jayden softly.
I went to hand him over to her, but she shook her head. "Enjoy it. I know you missed all this with Nessie."
I was grateful I couldn't cry. "Thanks." I managed to smile, and sat on the couch. I took Jayden's tiny hand out of the blanket and he wrapped his whole hand around my finger.
"Ok, Leah come sit down." Alice said. Sue looked like she was feeling better as Emily took her into Leah's bedroom to get changed.
"Leah, your beginning to look like a woman." Jacob laughed as he walked into the house with Edward and Renesmee right behind him. Renesmee was tucked under Edwards arm. She wiggled when he tickled her.
"Did you have fun?" I asked her. Her breath caught as she took in me holding Jayden.
Edward sat her in front of him, but held her shoulders tight. He already knew what she was thinking.
"My mommy." Renesmee whispered. She tried stepping away from Edward, but he held her in place.
"Yes, she is, but she's just holding Jayden." Edward told her.
I was heartbroken as I saw Renesmee suddenly territorial over what was hers. He was just a tiny baby.
"Ness, would you like to meet Jayden?" I asked, my voice shaky.
"Okay…" Edward stepped with Renesmee as she walked over to me.
Jayden opened his eyes and looked around him. He looked up and me and stared at my face before smiling widely. I laughed and cuddled him closer to me.
"He's little." She whispered. She turned and watched Edwards face as she filled his mind with visions.
"No, you were bigger when you were born." He smiled down at her.
"Why?"
"Because your special." Edward whispered into her ear.
Renesmee leaned against my knees as she looked at Jayden. "Hey kid. Don't get too comfortable, that's not your mom."
"Sweetie, I'm just holding him." I raised my eyebrow at her.
"So, hold me!" She yanked at my arm.
I looked over her head to Edward. He shrugged, and pulled Renesmee off of me.
"I want mommy." Renesmee said through clenched teeth. She wiggled in Edwards arms, but he held her tight.
I stood up and gave Jayden to Leah. In the same moment I turned and took Renesmee out of Edwards arms.
"We need to talk." I said and took Renesmee outside.
"I'm almost done with Leah, I'll do your hair and makeup when I'm done." Alice called after me.
"What's gotten into you?" I asked as I sat down on the steps. I sat Renesmee next to me.
"Nothing."
"It's something. You've never reacted like that."
"Your only my mom, and daddy's only my dad."
I tucked a curl behind her ear. "Yes, and I'm suddenly happy that I cant have any more kids." I laughed.
"Me too! I'll share my toys, but that's it."
"I thought you wanted me to take in Alyssa so you could have a sister." I asked confused.
"I changed my mind." Renesmee shrugged. "I like the attention I get."
"Ah, I see… We've spoiled you rotten." I shook my head.
"No, I call it the benefits of being an only child."
I rolled my eyes and pulled Renesmee into my arms. "I love you." I said trying not to laugh at her.
"Love you too!" Renesmee smiled widely.
"Ready?" Alice asked waving a brush in the air.
I nodded and we walked back inside. I sighed when Edward turned with Jayden in his arms.
"My Da-" I cupped my hand over Renesmee's mouth. She looked up at me squinting her eyes. Her eyes moved from me to Edward, and he laughed.
"What is she showing you?" I asked him.
"She wants to be the one rapped in the blanket." He looked down at her. "You're too big."
Renesmee huffed, and climbed onto the couch to wait her turn to get her hair done.
Once everyone was done getting dressed we walked back into the living room. Jacob whistled, Edward's jaw dropped, and Sam shifted Jayden in his arms.
"You ladies look… stunning." Sam stuttered, but his eyes didn't move from Emily. Even though she wasn't in the wedding her dress matched the color of mine and Leah's.
"Lets not forget the prettiest little girl in the world." Jacob said. He stood up and knelt in front of Renesmee. "You look so grown up." He smiled, and kissed her cheek. She blushed and Jacob and I laughed. Edward growled.
"She's all done!" Alice sang as she lead Sue out of Leah's room.
All of us gasped.
"You did it again Alice." Edward smiled. "Although no one could have been as beautiful as you." He said kissing me.
"Are we ready?" Alice asked Sue.
"I'm as ready as I'll ever be." She sighed.
"You guys better go get ready." Sue said as she got in the car.
"We don't take nearly as long as you girls." Edward smiled as he got in his car with Jacob. "We'll see you down at the beach." Jacob called out the window as Edward drove away.
