OH and guess what? I didn't get a single anonymous review telling me that I was a bad person for writing a story that had to do with hurting a child. They were wasting their time criticizing me, but it let me know that I was doing a good job writing this. So Thanks! :p

"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 sighed as I listened to the voicemail Bella sent me. I felt relieved that Renesmee was okay, and I had not cause any major harm to her. I don't think I could forgive myself if I did. I opted for calling Bella back, but she had left the message exactly three hours and twenty four minutes ago and was more than likely already hunting.
I decided that I had hunted enough. I had drained three mountain lions and felt satisfied with myself. It was about a hours run from I was and the house. If I headed back now, I could get back in time to take Nessie out for lunch. We needed some bonding time. I'm sure she would like it if we went somewhere together.
I started to run, but this time back to Forks. I followed my trail until I was back in the Forks city limits. There was an overcast, but I didn't smell any trace of rain. The temperature wasn't to cold either. It would be a perfect opportunity to take Nessie out.
I ran for about another ten minutes before I was standing in front of the glass door of the main house. I could hear Renesmee laughing at something Emmett was doing. I smiled. I was glad she was in a good mood after yesterday. I open the door and walked in. I decided to let Nessie hang out with Emmett for a little while longer. I walked into the den and was greet by Jasper and Carlisle playing a game of chess.
"Good evening Edward" Carlisle spoke looking up from the game board.
"Indeed. I see Renesmee's in a good mood today" I said as we all heard a loud crash followed by both Renesmee and Emmett laughing.
"Yes. She hasn't gotten upset once this morning" Carlisle said with a smile. "She told Bella that she wanted to go to the park. So Bella told her she could, but only if she had a good report when you came to pick her up."
"Oh, I see" I said chuckling.
"I doubt she will want to go to the park today" Jasper replied joining the situation.
"And why is that?" I asked.
"Because I am more than sure Emmett has worn her out. They have been causing mischief around the house all day" he said with a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"And you're the target" Carlisle said with a small smile on his lips.
"Emmett takes pride in using Nessie against me" Jasper said scowling. Carlisle and I laughed.
"Hey Eddie!" Emmett boomed from the top of the stairs.
I rolled my eyes. "Where is my daughter Emmett?" I asked noticing he was coming down the stairs empty handed.
"Chillax bro. Nessie said she wanted to put on a fashion show for everyone. She is in your room changing" he answered barreling past me to flop on the couch next to Jasper.
"You owe me five hundred dollars" Jasper said frowning at Emmett.
"That watch was a piece of crap anyway. Nessie and I did you a favor" Emmett said with a lazy smile played on his lips. I chuckled amused at my brothers immaturity.
"It was a antique you-" Jasper snapped before he stopped himself. A wave of fear spread through the room. I felt was the same fear I felt when I thought I had lost my Bella to James. Sheer panic.
All of our eyes shot to the top of the stairs where a very frightened looking Renesmee was a standing. Everybody was to caught up with Emmett and Jasper to notice her coming. She was wearing a over sized pink princess dress with wobbly pink heels. Alice had gotten them for her for Christmas last year, but Nessie was never able to walk in them. She had inherited her Bella's clumsiness.
She had some how managed to get to the top of the stairs, but she stopped and was looking directly at me, trembling slightly.
"Renesmee?" I asked taking a step towards the stairs. She whimpered and took a step back. Her mind was blank, so I couldn't find any answers there.
"Nessie are you alright?" Jasper said standing up. He looked terrified. He was getting Renesmee's emotions full blast.
"No" she whimpered taking a step back, her eyes still locked with mine.
"Nessie" I said taking couple more steps toward her. She began walk backwards back up the stairs before she tripped over her dress and fell on her bottom. She yelped in pain and started to cry. It was then I saw in her mind me spanking her. She was afraid of me...
Carlisle rushed to her side and scooped her up in his arms. "Nessie" he said rubbing her back. "What's gotten you so upset?" She didn't answer and continued to cry and bury her face in his chest.
"I wonder whats wrong?" Emmett thought. "Do you know Edward?" I ignored him still watching my daughter.
"I can't take this" Jasper said standing up. Her emotions are to strong. He was trying to send Renesmee waves of calm. It seemed to be working.
"Edward" Carlisle called pulling me out of my daze. I was still frozen where I was. "Do you have any clue whats wrong with her?" He was walking down the stairs with my daughter in his arms. She still had her face hidden in Carlisle shirt, and was curling herself up as to make herself become invisible.
"Edward!" Carlisle called again.
"She's afraid of me" I said looking away from her with a hurt expression.
"Afraid of you?" Emmett replied confused.
"Yes" I said turning towards him.
Renesmee had calmed down quiet a bit in the last few minutes. She still remained tucked away in Carlisle's arms as everyone looked at me.
"Did you do something that would give her reason to be afraid of you?" Jasper asked. He had almost and accusing tone in his voice. Renesmee lifted her hand and placed on Carlisle's cheek.
"Ahh" he said watching the replay of me spanking her. I flinched at the image. "You spanked her, and now she fears that you are still mad at her and will spank her every time she is near you."
I saw myself storm out the door in Renesmee's mind. My facial expression looked harsh. I could see where she would get the idea of me still being upset with her. I needed to show her I still loved her. That last night was water under the bridge.
"Carlisle" I said quietly so not to scare Nessie again. "Can I hold her?"
Carlisle took a cautious step towards me. Renesmee realized what he was doing and her body tensed and clutched at his shirt tightly. "I don't think that will be the best idea" he carefully as if trying to spare my feelings.
"I see" I said no longer trying to hide the pain dripping into my voice. Jasper came up and patted me on the back before heading upstairs. Emmett did the same, and they left without a word. "What should I do?" I asked.
"For now, let's just sit down and see if you can get her to talk to you" Carlisle suggested. I nodded and sat down on the couch facing the tv.
"Renesmee" Carlisle said as they sat down. "You daddy wants to talk with you."
"No" she whimpered still not looking at me.
"Why not?" Carlisle asked trying to get her to at least show her face.
"He's mad at me. He doesn't love me anymore" she mumbled into his shirt. I kept my expression emotionless.
"Edward try talking to her now. Tell her how much you love her" Carlisle thought.
"Umm... Renesmee" I said awkwardly. "I'm not mad at you." She didn't answer. She still kept herself hidden in Carlisle chest.
"Renesmee" Carlisle said forcing her to sit up. "Your father is talking to you. You could at least answer him." She looked at me uncertain. She still had a firm grip on Carlisle. "Why don't you go sit by him" Carlisle said nudging Nessie off his lap.
"No!" she said panicked.
"All you have to do is sit by. He's not going to hurt you" he said prying her hands from his shirt. She took a cautious step towards me, then looked back at Carlilse. "Go on" he said encouraging her. She took a few more steps before sitting on the opposite end of the couch from me. She pulled her knees under her chin in a ball just like Bella use to do. I sighed quietly. I didn't like all this space between us. I wanted to hug her into my arms, but seeing as she didn't even want to sit near me I knew this was out of the question.
"Try again" Carlisle told me.
"Renesmee, I need you to talk to me" I said gently.
"So you can yell at me?" she mumbled softly.
"No. I'm not going to yell at you." She relaxed a little but was still tense. "Are you still upset with me?" I coaxed.
"Yes" she said in a somewhat frustrated voice. "You hit my butt really hard." I felt relief wash over me that she was at least talking to me. She was a brave kid. It still shocked me that she would be afraid of me.
"I'm sorry I had to spank you Nessie, but you cannot go disrespecting me, or anyone else the way you did yesterday" I said firmly.
"If I do, you will spank me? she asked.
"Me or your mother, but I hope it doesn't come down to that" I said so she would understand that we didn't want her acting out to get attention. "Neither one of us like to see you upset. We want you to be happy" I said gently.
She smiled. "I'm happy now" she said putting her feet down and walking to me.
"That's good" I replied truly happy she was opening back up with me.
"I'm happy because you aren't mad at me" she said coming to stand in front of me. I took her hands in mine and looked into her beautiful chocolate brown eyes.
"No. I'm not mad at you. You don't ever need to fear me" I hugging her to me. She was tense for a second but soon relaxed into me. She was still a little skeptical in her thoughts. I knew just how to fix that. "Did I hear that you wanted to go to the park?" I asked looking down at her.
"Yes!" she said excitedly.
"Do you still want to go?" I asked her already knowing the answer.
"Yes!" she squealed happily. She reminded me of Alice when she was like this.
"Alright" I said standing up and putting her on my shoulders. "Let's go."
Carlisle left out the den with a smile and went upstairs to go brake up Jasper and Emmett's argument about Jasper's antique watch. I smiled as Nessie and I walked out to the Volvo. I could see how all Renesmee really needed was a little love.
"Dad" her little voice whined as we drove down the streets.
"Yes sweetheart" I said looking at her through my rear view mirror.
"You drive to slow."
I chuckled and spend up. I was just as eager as she was to get there and play.
~Bella~
"I just had a vision" Alice said starting into space.
"I don't like the idea of you having visions when you are suppose to be driving" I said from the backseat.
"What's it matter. It's not like she can kill us in a car accident" Rosalie said focusing on a fashion magazine. I rolled my eyes. We had just gotten back from our hunt. We didn't go far, just to a forest near by that was having a deer infestation. Literally they were everywhere. We took care of at least thirteen in total, but I don't think there was any stopping the population.
"You guys" Alice said getting our attention back.
"Yes Queen Alice" Rose and I joked in unison. She smiled. I think she like that name a little to much.
"As I was saying, I just had a vision about Edward and Nessie."
My ears perked up at this. "What happened now" I said dreading the worse.
"Well, from the looks of it Edward is going to come home, and Nessie is going to be afraid of him" she replied speeding thought a stop sign. I was to worried to care.
"What else did you see?" I asked.
"Don't worry Bella. Carlisle has them talk it out. The last thing I see is Edward walking out the house with her, then everything fades black" Alice answered turning the car in a sharp curve.
"You don't see anything else?" I began.
"No. But I couldn't see either one of their faces when they left" she said pulling onto the street of the house.
"Do you know where they are going?" Rose spoke.
"No. I couldn't see anything" Alice said aggravated.
"I thought that only happens when a werewolf is around?" Rose teased.
"So did I" Alice said her grip tightening around the steering wheel. I was to far gone to keep listening. As soon as we parked in front of the house I rushed out to find Carlisle.
"Carlisle" I said finding him upstairs talking to a very upset looking Jasper. "Sorry to interrupt, but where is Edward?"
"He left about half an hour ago to take Nessie to the park."
I felt a wave of calm wash over me. "Oh" I said calming down. "Alice said she had a vision about Renesmee being upset with him or something like that?"
"Yes. She was a little upset with him before, but they seemed to have worked it out" Carlisle explained.
"Thank you" I said letting out a sigh of relief. I walked back out to let them finish up there conversation. I ran out the door and ran to the park hopefully finding them there, and getting along at that.
This was a hard chapter to right. I couldn't really imagine Renesmee afraid of Edward like this, but I tried my best. So tell me what you think.
BTW only one more chapter to write after this. I so sad, I enjoyed writing this. But I am going to start another one. This one will be a one shot though. I hope you will take the time to read it. It should be up by Wednesday
Thanks for reading. I am looking forward to your REVIEWS
