After The Dawn...
A Twilight Fan Fiction

AN: Okay this fanfic is set post breaking dawn, and I have written the first four chapters, but don't really have any idea where I'm going with it, so please review guys, and let me know what you think, I'd really appreciate it. I am also more than happy to take on any suggestions/idea's people have for the story :).

So Although Renesmee is physically the age of a 3/4 year old child. She is just reaching the first year mark since her birth.

Again this chapter is from Bella's P.O.V...

Chapter Three

As I drove up the soft dirt path of the driveway, Alice came dancing out the house into the garage to wait for me and Nessie.

"Hey Bella" she called before I'd even killed the engine, knowing fine well I would hear.

" Hi Alice" I called back.

I knew by the sly smile on her face she was upto something. As I killed the engine and stepped out the car, I asked " whats going on alice", she didn't answer she just asked me if Nessie was sleeping or not.

When I told her she was she just replied "great, lets take her inside and leave her with Rose for now then, we've got plans to make" with a big smile.

As soon as we'd left Nessie in the living room with Rose, I rounded on Alice demanding to know what was going on.

"Chill Bella" she replied, "I was just thinking we're leaving in a months time, and as Renesmee's first birthday is in three weeks time, maybe we should have a birthday party for her, just close family and friends obviously but I thought it would be nice", she explained calmly.

You could tell even Alice was shocked when I replied with " Yeah thats a great idea".

I'd been thinking we would have to mark the occasion somehow and a party seemed like a perfect opputunity.

" Lets get to work" I encouraged Alice, as I knew Edward would be more than happy with this idea.

Me, Alice and Esme sat the dining room table planning the party while Rosalie watched over Nessie in the loving room.
We were discussing the guest list, after having already settled on a pink theme, when we heard the jeep turn onto the soft dirt track of the drive way from the freeway.

"The boys are home", Rose called from the living room although we all already knew this " and Nessie's awake" Rose added as an after thought.

Nessie had this knack of when ever Edward left waking up at the exact moment of his return and as me, Alice and Esme entered the living room we seen Nessie head of to the Garden to greet her father, we could hear Edward talking to Nessie as they walked inside hand in hand, telling her all about his trip and her no doubt showing him her visions of her few days without him as they held hands, and Emmetts bellowing laugh at something Jasper had said.

Carlisle was the first through the door and went straight to embrace Esme, Emmett followed and his and Rose's reunion was alot more passion fueled, and then Japer came in and set off to find Alice who had now left the living room, Edward was last in the door, and said "hi love" as soon as he seen me and picked Renesmee up and rushed to my side to give me a quick kiss and cuddle.

He could tell something was on my mind, and suggested we went home to the cottage. So off we set, but tonight sleep was the last thing on Nessie's mind now daddy was home and she was determined to stay up and not miss anything. But eventually her mortal needs overtook and she fell asleep in her room, giving me and Edward chance to talk.

please review guys, and let me know what you think, as for the reviews I've had so far, thanx very much guys, means alot :) x x
