I couldn't stop listening to that while writing this chapter! LOVE IT!

Nessie POV
I watched Arabell as she slept in my arms. I played with her small fingers, looking at how tiny they were.
After awhile her eyes opened, revealing the grey eyes I had already seen countless times, gasping every time I saw them. She yawned, then raised her arm up in the air. I laughed, smiling.
Jacob came in, a big grin on his face. It was five in the morning, the sun starting to come up behind the trees.
He walked over and sat next to me on the bed. Arabell drew her attention towards him, watching him as if he would disappear any second.
I shifted so that I could put her in Jacob's arms. I felt full of joy as he beamed at the tiny, beautiful little girl in his arms.
I reached over and gave him a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to cry at the joy that I felt at that moment.

Jacob POV
Nessie was feeling a lot better now, and she hadn't had any visions in the past 24 hours, which meant that it was for sure Arabell's gift.
We were back home now, with Renesmee's parents, Carlisle, and Ellen and Kayden as we invited them to come stay for a few more hours. Renesmee sat on the couch covered in a blanket, still sore from all the pain. The whole family was in the living room, with the TV on and some small talk here and there…until I saw Edward stiffen up from the corner of my eye.
"What's wrong?" I asked. Suddenly the room was silent, with everyone looking at Edward. His expression looked…puzzled. But then he perked up, not taking his eyes off of Arabell who was in Bella's arms.
When I looked over at Arabell she was completely still, as if she were concentrating on something…her grey eyes went from clear back to cloudy…
That was when Edward finally spoke.
"She just had a vision."
"Of what?" We all said.
Edward was quiet for a few seconds, completely still. It kind of made me nervous.
But then he smiled. I relaxed a little.
He looked up at Renesmee and I.
"She looked like she was a year old. She was walking too. That's all I saw." He said.
I looked at Renesmee, who looked at me. Then we both looked over at Arabell, smiling and cooing happily in Bella's arms.

1 Month Later
Renesmee POV
My parents and Carlisle were back in Forks, keeping watch over the newborn vampire activity, which wasn't much, apparently.
Arabell was getting her weekly check-ups from Kayden, to check her growth and any signs for problems and the possibilities of shots. She was the size of a two month old even though she was only a month old. Kayden said that was the fastest rate that she would grow and that she wouldn't grow any faster than that. I felt thankful for that fact. I finally understood the way my mother felt watching me grow up so fast. I wonder what she thought now…
Arabell was laying on the floor on a yellow blanket, laughing at the funny faces Jacob made.
I came into the living room and sat down criss-cross next to Jacob.
Arabell pulled her attention towards me and watched my every move. I laughed when she grabbed my finger, tugging on it. I laughed even more when she tried to put my finger in her mouth. Jacob chuckled.
"No you silly little girl." I giggled.
I grabbed her binkie and put it in her mouth.
"Oh…" Jacob started. "She's been doing this thing randomly where she rolls on her tummy and then back on her back." Jacob laughed.
"Oh really?"
I decided to lay on my stomach.
"Arabell…" I cooed.
She looked over, her eyes big as she watched me. When she noticed I was on my stomach, she rolled onto hers.
Jacob and I both laughed. Then I rolled onto my back. Once again without hesitation she copied my move.
She giggled, spitting out her binkie.
I giggled once again, picking her up and sitting her on my lap. She started cooing, but it sounded more like she was humming to herself.
"She's been doing that all day too." Jacob said, smirking.
"Are you singing to yourself, Baby bell?" That was the nickname Jacob and I gave her. I bent my head down to look into her eyes, and chuckled when she pulled my hair, letting out her cute laugh.

When I was done giving Arabell her bottle and put her into her crib, I walked back downstairs to Jacob who pulled me into his warm, bare chest.
"She asleep?" He asked.
"Yes, she's dozing off." I grinned at him.
It was quiet for a moment while we watched TV, not really catching my attention. I had other things on my mind. For one, I wanted to go down to Forks to visit family, and let Billy see his granddaughter…
"Jake…" I asked softly.
"Yes, love?"
For a moment I got lost in his eyes, but I had to bring up this topic to him, so I pulled myself out of his dreamy eyes and looked at his hand, playing with it.
"When are we going Forks? Billy needs to see his granddaughter."
"I've actually been thinking about that…but I don't know if its safe enough yet for us to go down there."
"Jake, there's been no newborn vampire activity in Forks for weeks! I promised Billy."
He sighed, placing a hand on my cheek.
"I want to go to, but I just want you and Arabell to be completely safe. Remember what happened last time?"
I cringed, remembering the newborn in the woods in La Push that almost had me by seconds, but thankfully I was lucky enough for Jacob to come to my rescue.
Jacob always came to my rescue, he was my friend, my love…what I lived for. If I ever needed anything he would be right there for me, ready to catch me if I fell.
I felt thankful for that, and even more thankful that Arabell had an amazing father.
I smiled at the thought, giving Jacob a kiss and snuggling into his arms.
