I sat with Bella for a minute before I realized I had to get up.

I got up from the couch and made my way down the hall to Renesmee's door. I really didn't want to spank her. I thought to myself, that maybe if she apologized on her own and promised not act so disobediently, I would let her off the hook. She really wasn't as bad she seemed. She just loved having all the attention on her so much, that the only way she thought she could get it was by acting out.

I tried to read Nessie thoughts, but Bella was blocking them. This might have been a good thing.

"Renesmee" I said knocking on her door.

"Go away" she yelled through the door.

"Renesmee, you and I need to have a talk" I said trying to give her the opportunity to open the door herself.

"I don't wanna talk to you" she growled.

I sighed and pulled the key out of my back pocket before opening the door to her room. She was sitting at her desk on her computer. She turned around and frowned when she saw me walk in.

"I said you couldn't come in" she huffed.

"We need to talk" I said ignoring her last remark.

"No we don't" she said turning back to her computer.

I took an un-needed breath and walked over to her. I pushed the power button, and the screen went black.

"Hey" she whined turning back towards me. I picked her up and sat her beside me on the bed.

"You won't get to do the thing you like if you act like this'' I told her. She folded her arms and pouted, sticking out her bottom lip. "None of that" I told her trying to keep a strong face.

"I don't wanna talk" she realizing her little pout wasn't going to work.

"Sometimes we have to do things we don't want to."

"You always get to do what you want" she challenged.

"That's because I am an adult. You are just a child" I replied.

"You are just big stupid idiot" she thought to me. I took a deep breath, trying to keep my anger and frustration at bay.

"You have to do what me, your mother, and everybody back at the big house tell you to. Do you understand?"

"Yes'' she huffed. Can I go now?

"No" I replied. "This means no more screaming at people. No more slamming doors and crying, and definitely no calling people idiots or biting. If you do, you will be punished when you get home."

"Whatever" she thought back playing with the lace on her bedsheets. I could feel my angry boiling. She wasn't going to listen to anything I said to her. She was only agreeing so she could get back on her computer when I left. I was going to give her one last chance.

"Do you have something you want to say to your mother and I?" I asked her.

"Nope. You guys were being idiots" she snapped.

That was it. That was the last straw. She couldn't keep acting out, and treating people like this. Bella and I hadn't raise her this way and if we didn't stop this now it was going to get out of hand.

I pick her up and placed her on her stomach over my lap.

"What are you doing?" she struggled against me.

"I told you if you disrespected me our any other grown ups you would be punished" I said holding her down.

''Calm down'' Bella said taking down her shield. "You don't want to hurt her"

My wife was right. I needed to control my anger so I didn't accidentally hurt our daughter. Renesmee was still squirming, trying to get off my lap, but I held her in place.

"I'm sorry" she said trying to get down.

"I gave you a chance to apologize Renesmee. You have to take responsibility for your actions. You going to be spanked" I said trying to make my voice gentle.

She gasped. "No" she pleaded. "I will be good. I won't call people names anymore" she said still trying to get up.

"It's to late for that Nessie" I said rubbing her back. "I'm only going to give you ten licks, but if you try to get up you will get more" I warned her. Then I heard them. She was sniffling, burying her face in my thigh and clutching on my pants legs. My unbeating heart crushed into a million pieces. I wanted to hug her to me, and tell her I would never cause her any pain, but this needed to be done.

I pulled her down her sweatpants, then her little girl panties. I had to make sure I wasn't severly hurting her. I lifted my hand and brought the first swat to her bottom. I made sure to not even use half my strenght, but she still yelped out at the pain. I gave her the second one, then the third. By the seventh she was screaming and thrashing, with her face covered in tears.

Even though she was screaming and crying, this was hurting me more than her. If I was human, I would have been in tears myself. I delivered the last swat to the sensitive under curve of her bottom. I check her for bruising before gently pulling her pants back up and hugging her to my chest. She tried to push away from me, but I held on to her tight.

"I'm sorry, I had to spank you" I said rubbing her back trying to calm her down. She cried harder and continued to push away. "I love you" I told her.

"No!" she sobbed using all her strength to get away. At her words I let her go. I was momentarily shocked. "Mommy" she screamed running out the door.

I sat there. I didn't know what to do. Renesemee was really upset. I could understand if she was a little upset with me for spanking her, but to deny my love for her struck something inside me. I sat up and walked out the room. The house echoed with Nessie's sobs and Bella's soothing words.

"It's okay" Bella said rubbing her back. "It's over." Renesemee had buried her face in the crook of Bella's neck. They were sitting on the couch and Nessie had her back to me. "She is really upset" Bella thought to me. I looked at her and nodded. I couldn't stand the sounds of my baby crying anymore.

"I'm going to hunt" I said turning for the door.

"Edward. She will be okay" Bella said seeing my distress. I didn't answer. I sped into the night to find my prey. I never should have suggest this. Sure I was spanked as a child, but that was decades ago, and many things have changed since then. Plus I was a strong child. I could take the pain of being spanked, and my parents weren't super strong vampires. This was a horrible idea.

~~Bella~~

As Edward walked out the door, I could see he was very upset. He hated to see Renesmee cry, and to know that he was the cause of her tears only made it harder for him. I let him have his space as he ran into the night.

Renesmee was now only whimpering. The tears had stopped a few minutes ago. I hated to see her upset, but this needed to be done.

"Hey" I said pulling her up to see her face. Her eyes were puffy and her cheeks were flushed, but she still looked like the most adorable kid in the world. "Why don't you go wash your face and I'll make you some dinner?" I suggested.

"I'm not hungry" she sniffled looking down at her feet.

I sighed. She always put up a fight about eating if it wasn't ice cream. "You have to eat honey" I said smoothing down her hair. "How about after you eat, you can have two scoops of ice cream for desert?" I said trying to cheer her up.

"I don't want ice cream" she said softly as she walked away to her bathroom. I sat there in bewilderment. She has never turned down ice cream, even on her bad days.

I sat there for a moment before getting up to make her dinner. I walked into the kitchen and looked though the fridge at all the food. Esme enjoyed cooking for Renesmee, and would make full course meals for her only grandchild to eat. I picked out the crispy honey chicken and put it in the oven. While it was heating, I poured a cup of blood for her to drink. At the smell of the blood, it reminded me I needed to hunt. I hadn't been in a while. I poured myself a cup too.

If Edward wasn't back by tomorrow morning Renesmee was going to have to wait at the main house for me while I hunted.

Renesmee walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table. She immediately shot up from her seat with a yelp.

"Are you okay?" I asked rushing to her side.

She nodded and sat down cautiously. I put her food in front of her and watched her eat. She didn't complain once, and ate all her food. After she finished her food, she went into the den to watch tv while I ran her bath water.

"Renesmee" I called. "Baths ready."

She walked into the bathroom frowning. "I want to finish watching iCarly" she whined. There was the old Renesmee I new.

"You can watch it on this tv" I said turning it on. We had to be the only family with a tv in the bathroom. It was Emmett's idea, but I have no idea why we listened to him.

As soon as the tv was on, Renesmee gave all her attention to it. I began to undress her as she watch it. I pulled off her pink sweater, then carefully pulled off her pants and underwear. Renesmee wasn't paying me any attention, so she had no way of seeing my shocked expression when I saw her bright red backside.

Edward had thankfully not left any bruises, but her bottom now resimbled a bright red cherry. No wonder it hurt for her to sit down. I quickly composed my expression before getting Renesmee's attention.

"If you finish your bath early enough, you can watch some tv before bed okay?" I told her.

"Okay" she answered as I walked out. Maybe Edward had hit her to hard. Well, if he had she would have had a bruise or something. I hoped the swelling would go down before tomorrow and that it wouldn't cause Renesemee anymore pain.

I had to distract myself. I cleaned up the dishes in the kitchen, then sat down in the den to read Wuthering Heights again. Even though I had the book memorized. I was on page 289 when Renemsee came out the bathroom dressed in her pajamas.

"Good night mom" she said kissing my cheek.

"Good night" I said hugging. "You know me and your father love you right? We don't like punishing you" I told her. She didn't answer right away.

"I know that you love me" she replied. Before I could say anything else she was already in her room.

"Uh-oh" I thought to myself.

~The Next Morning~

Edward still wasn't back yet. I had no idea where he had gone, and I really needed to hunt. I decide to call his phone. He didn't answer so I left him a message on his voice mail. "Hey Edward, Alice, Rose, and I are going on a hunting trip this morning. I need you to pick up Renesmee if I'm not back. Anyway, she seems fine if you are still worried about her. I-I love you. Bye" I said as I hung up the phone. I sighed and went to wake up Renesmee.

"Rise and shine" I said opening the blinds in Renesmee's room. She sat up sleepily rubbing her eyes.

"Why do I have to get up so early?" she yawned laying back down.

"Because, I have to go hunting with Auntie Alice, and Rose. So you get to spend the day with your Uncles" I said trying to get her excited.

"Oh" she said watching me.

"You would have gotten to sleep in, but your daddy is still M I A." She looked a bit relieved now knowing that Edward wasn't home, or maybe it was my imagination. "Do you want to eat here, or with Grandma Esme?" I asked her.

"Grandma Esme" she getting up and walking to her closet. I smiled and walked out to get to give her some privacy.

On our way to the main house Renesmee seemed to be in a better mood. "So, what do you want to do when I get back today?" I asked her.

"Can we go to the park?"

"Sure" I answered her. "But only if I get a good report today. If so, you, daddy, and I can all go."

"I just want us to go" she said before running up the stairs to the main house. I watched her run off. This was the second time she had denied wanting to spend anytime with Edward. I was beginning to get kind of worried. "Uncle Emmett" she squealed as she ran through the doors of the house.

"Hey squirt. You wanna go play 'Let's Annoy Uncle Jasper'?" he asked picking her up.

"Yea'' she said her eyes lightening up.

"Emmett" I warned.

"We'll be good" he said walking up stairs with her.

"Edward is going to be back before me to take her to the park, but only if she behaves" I called after him.

"Yea, yea" he said tickling Renesmee. As he was walking up, Alice and Rose were walking down.

"She seems to be in a good mood today" Alice smiled gesturing to a giggling Renesmee.

"I know. You should have seen her yesturday. Edward decided to spank her, and now she has become like a totally different child" I told them both.

"I'll say" Rose nodded in agreement.

"I'm kinda worried about her though" I sighed.

"Why?'' Rose asked. "She seems fine to me."

"Yea, but after Edward spanked her, he left somewhere to go brood. And Rensemee hasn't wanted anything to do with him since" I said as we walked into the garage and into Alice's yellow Porshe.

"How do you mean" Alice asked.

"Well today she told me she wanted to go to the park when I got back. I told her sure that all three of us could go. She said she didn't want Edward to come along with us" I answered playing with my wedding ring.

"Hmm. Just sounds like she is holding up a grudge" Rose suggested. "Nothing to worry about."

I sighed. I hoped she was right.

Finished. Finally! I accidentally deleted this chapter. TWICE! Can you believe my bad luck? I hoped you enjoyed this, and I look forward to hearing your reviews.

Next chapter- Edward comes back, Renesmee terrified, and shocked Bella

-Graywaves

Chapter 2 of my second Twilight fanfic. I wasn't going to finish the story if people weren't going to read it, but so far many people have like it, so I am more than happy to finish it. I have also gotten some reviews saying that spanking is wrong. I agree and disagree with this. It really depends on the situation, the age of the child, and how angry you are. If this story offends you, then just don't read it. But you will be missing out!
