A few hours later, Renesmee looks for her mother at her cottage.
"Mom? Can I come in?" Renesmee called as she knocked on the cottage's door. "Mom! Please, I need to talk to you!"
Bella opens the door cautiously. "What is it?"
Renesmee took a step back, startled by her mother's unusually abrupt manner. "Mom, I'm sorry for-"
"Don't be," Bella interrupted, "come in and sit… I'm sorry for how I acted earlier…"
Renesmee walked into the cozy little cottage and let out a low sigh of relief. "I thought you would be angry or upset at me or something…"
"Oh trust me, I'm angry, but not at you," Bella said as she started up a fire. "And before you start defending Jacob, just know that it's not him I'm angry at either…"
Renesmee stares at her mother, confusion in her eyes, "but then who are you angry at?"
"Honestly? Myself…" Bella replied, blushing, "Did you know that your dad left me once before you were born?"
Renesmee shook her head.
Bella nodded, "Yes he did… Do you know who helped me most during that time?"
Renesmee shook her head again.
"It was Jacob…" Bella whispered. "Jacob helped me when no one else would. I loved him, Renesmee, I thought that when you were born and the part of me he imprinted on left with you I wouldn't have to worry about it anymore… but there has always been that little part of me that has loved him, and I will continue to love him… It was like… It was always like he would always be there for me ya know? And now that he's not I… sorry I'm being selfish, I'll shut up know."
Renesmee shook her head for a third time, "don't be… he is a great person… if he was taken from me… I don't know what I'd do…"
Bella looked up at her daughter and smiled, "He has always been there for me… I'm happy for you, you've found someone who will love you and cherish you… just remember that…"
Renesmee embraced her mother. She didn't need to say anything, her tears were enough.
