*Edward's POV*

I waved one more time before Renesmee disappeared into the school. I watched her wave back, her smile identical to her mothers. It always seemed to melt my frozen heart. Derek caught her then and they walked through the doors. I drove out of the parking lot and smiled to myself. How could I have gotten so lucky? Here I was always thinking I was damned to hell, but I was living a dream. No, I was living more than a dream.

All too soon I pulled into the hospital parking lot. Bella had an early class, so she would be in around noon. My morning was going to drag without her presence. It always did.

With a heavy sigh I got out of my car and I suddenly heard my Bella's Ferrari coming down the street.

Wait for me, I'm almost there. Her beautiful voice filled my head. I leaned against my car and waited the few seconds it took her to come barreling into the parking garage. I would have taken that turn a little faster, but my Bella liked to take her time.

I opened her door for her and as always her beauty almost knocked me off my feet. But she didn't notice me staring at her--she never did. She got out of the car and was already talking away.

"So I showed up to class, right," She flipped her dark hair behind her shoulder.

I nodded.

"The professor showed up and he looked paler than us!" She giggled. "He looked really sick. His scent was even off. I knew immediately that we weren't going to have class for very long. As if I could read his mind, he dismissed us to our rounds. That's cool because I like being here rather than in a stuffy class room." She stopped walking and slid her arms around my waist. "Plus you being here is always a plus." There was that smile again. For the second time today my heart melted.

"Well, I'm sorry he's sick, but I am very happy that you are here. I was already waiting impatiently for noon."

"Me too," She sighed. "Ness get off to school ok?"

I nodded. "Jacob is around. They will be safe. Plus if Renesmee needs me she will call for me." I tapped my temple and Bella laughed.

Too soon we had to separate. Bella was off to the ER and I had to report to my office. I knew I would have a pile of forms for me to sign off on. "See you later Mrs. Cullen." I could never get tired of hearing that, or seeing the smile it put on her face.

"Love you," She leaned in to kiss me.

"Hello, Edward, I believe we have some work to do." I moaned against Bella's lips. It was harder for me to push her away. Mainly because she was using all her strength to hold onto me. But she was no longer stronger than me. I peeled her arms from my waist and she narrowed her gold eyes at the nurse standing next to me.

"I'll be right in, Steph." I said without taking my eyes off of Bella's face.

She makes me rethink our whole vegetarian way of life. I couldn't hold back the chuckle.

I took her face in my hands and kissed the tip of her nose. "Play nice," I said too low for anyone else to hear me.

Bella shrugged and spun away from me. I watched her walk gracefully towards the ER doors. That was one thing I would never get used to. I still partially waited for her to trip over something.

I took a deep breath before I walked into my office. Stephanie was holding out my waiting pile of order forms. I hated having to take my time and sign them. I could easily have them signed within seconds, but since I had someone sitting across from me I had to act human.

The papers took up all of my morning. I was finally able to leave my office, but Jacob's thoughts stopped me. New girl. Doesn't smell human, her heart sounds just like Nessie, and look at her face! Jacob remembered my daughters face before she walked away from him. She was hurt, but why? I stayed in my office since I could easily see Jacob on his way in.

"She said she was a friend, is she? Do you know the girl?" Jacob was talking out loud before he was even in the door. He slammed it behind him and Stephanie jumped in her seat. "You," Jacob jabbed a finger in her direction. "Out!" He growled.

She jumped to her feet and rolled her eyes. Always someone coming between us. If it's not his dang wife always… I stopped listening to her as she walked out the door. She was just going to aggravate me more.

"Jacob," I pinched the bridge of my nose and sighed deeply. It was times like this that I didn't like the way he lost his temper. What if I was Renesmee standing in front of him. He better know I would rip him apart if he spoke to her this way.

"This is important!"

"Okay,okay," I walked out of the office with Jacob close behind me.

"Doors are that way," Jacob reached out and grabbed my arm.

"I want to ask Bella if she knows anything about the new girl. It's probably just a new friend."

"Edward, the girl told me you had said yes to her going over her house!"

I froze as I listened to Jacob replaying the conversation. "I can ask Bella later," I hissed and started walking towards the door. This time I was behind Jacob. We both froze at the same time. Renesmee had her mind open. She was picturing all of our faces. Then the words filled my head. Goodbye, I love you. Don't worry I'm perfectly fine. It's not the Volturi so please don't try and go after them. I don't need you in danger because of me. Again. Maybe we will cross paths again one day.

"No!" Jacob gasped. He staggered forward. I wrapped my arms around him to keep him standing. "What happened? Where is she going?" Jacob was panting.

I was glad we were alone in the hall. Jacob was bigger than I was, but I didn't struggle to hold his weight. Nessie, baby I wish you could hear me! Tell me what was bother you. You can't leave me. I shook my head to get his thoughts out.

"You heard it too?" I asked him, but he didn't answer. He was trembling in my arms.

"Edward!" Bella's cry echoed down the hall. When I turned to look at her she was pushing away from Carlisle and running towards me. "Where is she going? Why is she leaving?" She sobbed into my chest.

Before I could ask her if she heard the same thing I did, Carlisle was there in my head. Get her out of here. Carlisle's thoughts were even a whisper. I looked at him and he nodded towards Bella.

"Jacob!" Bella snapped.

"I didn't do anything!" Jacob yelled back. The tears in his eyes quickly changed Bella's mind. She stayed clung to me, but reached out to take his hand. He pulled it away quickly and stormed towards the doors.

Go on, I'll round up the others and meet you at your house. Carlisle thought. His words sounded far away. Did he hear her thoughts too?

"Love, you heard what she was thinking?"

Bella nodded. "I was working on a patient with Carlisle. He heard her too. She must have said goo--" She choked on the word and I held her tighter against me.

"It's ok, it will all be ok." I tried calming her, but the worry shown too much in my voice to calm her.

The ride home seemed longer than it was. It had only taken me three minutes to get home, but with Jacob leaning forward between Bella and I from the back seat, telling me to drive faster made it seem longer.

Come on Edward! I thought you vamps knew how to drive.

"Jacob one more word and you will be out of the damn car!"

"Stop it! Just STOP!" Bella's bell voice rose to a level that could cut glass. I reached over and laid my arm across her lap. Not just to calm her, but to make her sit still.

I didn't even bother to pull into the driveway, I just parked on the street and the three of us were racing into the house. I could smell Renesmee's scent, but it was almost an hour since she was here. Bella's and Jacob's thoughts were right with mine. They could smell her scent as well. This new scent was not one I have smelt before, so she was new. Both her and Renesmee smelt alike in a way. Although I could easily tell which was Renesmee's.

"She left a note!" Bella called out. I was at her side before she started reading it.

Dear Edward and Bella,

It's ok, you don't need to come after me. Please don't. I know the truth now, and I am sorry I ruined everything. Bella, you were the best mother a daughter could ever ask for. I wouldn't trade one moment we've shared together for anything. I understand that you never intended to be a mother. Edward was right in wanting me dead. I am nothing but a monster. I hope the two of you can find happiness now that I am out of the picture. This is how it should be, so don't be upset. Tell the rest of your family that I love them. I think I have found my place in this world. Somewhere where I belong.

Love always,

Nessie

I ripped the note out of Bella's hand. How did she know all this?

She's gone. No! She can't be! I have to find her! Jacob's pain rang out in his thoughts. I could only wish I could keep his voice out of my head. I was feeling enough pain. My daughter, my baby thinks I don't want her. How could she find out? What have I done?

"Edward!" Bella growled. Her eyes wide with anger. "You get her back! She is alone somewhere. Bring our baby back!" She shrieked.

"Bella, love, I don't know where to start. She got into a car outside the house. Her scent disappears."

"I don't care!"

"I need you to calm down for a minute." I paused when I heard something crash in the living room.

"Jacob!" I called out and ran towards the clatter.

Jacob had punched the coffee table to splinters. I would be angry any other day, but he was clearly in pain. I have never seen Jacob cry until this very moment. His whole body trembled, but he wasn't going to phase. It was trembling with his sobs. I could feel his heart shattering to pieces. His mind rang out with so much pain and loneliness, but only one word was repeated. Renesmee.

Bella walked into the room next to me. I held an arm out to stop her from walking towards him. His mind was not stable and I didn't want her close to him.

I have to go look for her. I have to search. If I don't than it's over. I need her. Nessie please don't do this to me! You're killing me girl. You took my heart with you. Please, baby come home. You belong here. How could I be so stupid! How could I have let you walk away like that. This is all my fault. I love you! Don't you realize that?!

His pain triggered a memory I fought so hard to forget. So many years ago Jacob took Sam's memory of Bella after he found her in the woods. She was torn apart. I was the reason for that. I walked away from her, like Renesmee walked away from Jacob. I was seeing Bella's pain mirrored in Jacob's eyes. The one person that was able to pull her from that depression was Jacob. I pulled Bella quietly into the kitchen again.

"We have to go get her. I don't care if I have to flip over every damn rock on this planet!"

"Bella, just wait. You need to talk to Jacob, I need him focused right now." I whispered.

"Me? Why me? I'm in no mood to comfort--"

I closed my eyes. I hated to make her remember the one human memory she tried so hard to forget, but her best friend needed her and I understood that. That was their relationship. They knew each other better than Jacob knew Renesmee and even better than I knew Bella. I took a deep breath and looked into her confused eyes. "Jacob is in pain. You were in that kind of pain once. I think he needs you right now. I swear to you, Bella. I swear on everything that I love that I will get our daughter back. I will make sure she knows how much I love her. She belongs with us, and I will not stop until she is right here again, but I need Jacob to help with that. Don't you see it? She's our daughter through and through. She found something negative and saw what could make it positive. She left to make our lives better. She left to give us the life we should have had. I left you to give you the life you should have had. Jacob is the one left alone. His heart is shattered Bella, his mind is full of the memory of her. You can relate to that."

"I cant," she whispered. Her hand raised slowly and placed it on her heart. "That was another life. That life is over."

"It's killing me to ask you to do this, but he needs you. So many times he was there for you."

"But he wanted her dead more than you!" She hissed.

"Bella," I gasped and stepped away from her.

She recovered and reached out for me. "I'm so sorry. I don't know where that came from."

"I guess I deserved that."

Bella sighed and walked into the living room. I peered around the corner just to make sure he wasn't going to phase so close to her.

"Jake," Bella whispered. Her hand reached out to him. He was kneeling on the floor, his hands in tight fists on either side of his head. "Jacob, I know it hurts. I do, but we need your help. We will find her. She's hurting too I bet. She misses you just as much as you miss her."

"Why?" He whispered, his voice shaking.

"I don't exactly know why, but she will realize her thoughts are wrong. She will realize how much we love her. How much you love her."

"The pain,"

"Sucks, trust me, I know. Here," I watched her take his arm and place it across his torso. "This doesn't really help much, but--"

"It's what held you together." Jacob finished her sentence.

"Yes," she nodded.

"Oh, Bells, I didn't realize... I wouldn't have been such an ass half of the time if I knew you were in this much pain."

She shrugged and leaned in to hug him. "It will turn out ok. Look how it turned out for me."

It was then that I had to turn away. I knew she had him under control. His mind was a little more clearer.

The rest of my family filed in and read the note. Esme had both Bella and I in a tight embrace. Carlisle was pacing the floor, Emmett was comforting Rosalie and Alyssa, Jasper was outside trying to find a new trail. He couldn't be in a room full of all our pain. Alice was practically ripping her hair out. Because it was Renesmee she couldn't see where she decided to go. Jacob had mentioned that the girl with her was another hybrid, but we didn't know any others.

"That weird dude! The one that Alice found. The guy that told his story to the Volturi." Jacob broke through the silence.

"What about him?" Carlisle said.

"He said he had sisters, right? Renesmee said," Jacob took the note out of my hand and waved it in the air as he spoke. "That she found a place where she belonged! Where else will she belong but with other hybrids exactly like her."

"See, I knew I needed your mind clear. You have a great point, Jacob." I placed my arm across his shoulder. This was not something I normally did, but we had something in common. We made a mistake, and that mistake made us lose someone we both couldn't stand to be away from.

"Alice where do his sisters live?" Bella was on her feet already turned towards the door. "Alice!" She hissed when she didn't answer her right away.

"I don't know! He never mentioned where they lived."

"I think there is a more important issue. Renesmee will be ok with them. If that's where she is. At least she's not alone, but they are not vegetarian like Nahuel and his Aunt." Carlisle reminded us.

She might adapt to their way of living. It will be very hard to bring her back to our side. Jasper is still trying to get used to it. Carlisle told me, silently. I nodded, letting him know I understood. I glanced quickly at Bella. I knew how strongly she felt about the humans. Would it kill her to know her daughter could be a killer? Could we get to her in time before she made that choice? I wish someone could read my mind and answer my thoughts.


I hope everyone enjoyed the chapter. Took me a while to write it lol. I wanted to try and get everyone's reaction in, but I knew it would have to take like 12 pages to get it right lol. Anyway I wanted to ask if anyone knows where Nahuel's sisters and father lives. I can't remember if it was mentioned in Breaking Dawn or not. If it wasn't, what is a good place to have them live? You can just let me know in your review. Thanks for voting and congrats to the Edward's POV people!
