I had just bitten Bella for the last time, when all the commotion broke loose downstairs. I asked Jasper to stay with Bella while I went to see what kind of trouble the mutt was making for us. I was beyond furious. I had just delivered my daughter and was in the process of helping my wife make her final phase into being an immortal; I didn't need his shit now.
When I got downstairs and outside, I read his mind and knew he had imprinted on my daughter. I was ready to take him apart limb by limb. Charlie was there and stopped me; he arrested Jake and was taking him to jail. I hoped he was going to be there for a while. Charlie was as pissed off as the rest of us.
I suspected it would take a few hours for Bella to wake up; I spent that time holding my daughter. She was beautiful and so like her mother with her mother's chocolate eyes, but with my bronze locks. I was thrilled at the chance to be a father; and no mutt was going to take it away from me, nor was he going to take away the other half of me. I would kill him first, plain and simple.
I sat beside Bella all night, holding her hand with Ren in my other arm. I didn't want to let either one of them go. Alice came in and told me it was time for Bella to awake and offered to take Ren until we saw how Bella would react.
"Don't worry, Edward; she's safe with us. You know we'd kill to protect her, if need be," she told me because she saw my hesitant behavior.
"I know; it's just hard to let go, even for a few minutes, Alice. Especially when I never thought that I would have a child of my own," I replied.
Alice smiled lovingly and took the baby from me. She had brought some clothes for Bella to put on; and surprisingly they were simple and would be comfortable, although they were still designer. It was a running suit in a color purple. It was made of velour, and it was fitted. Bella would be pleased.
It took a few minutes more, and then finally Bella's eyes fluttered open; and she rose quickly from the bed and looked around. I could tell she was a bit disoriented.

I rose up from the bed; I noticed my movements were quicker now. I had been steadily changing over the months, but nothing compared to this. I looked around; and everything was familiar, but different. Everything was sharper and much clearer. I could see the individual grains in the hardwood of the floor; I could not only smell the books contained in this room, but the ink the books were typed with and glue that held the bindings together. This was all so new and would take a bit to get used to.
I then felt someone's eyes on me, and I looked up to see Edward watching with an awed expression on his face. If I thought he was gorgeous with my human eyes, it was nothing compared to what I saw now. He was sheer perfection. He was standing about five feet away from me, and that was entirely too far. I lunged at him; and he caught me with ease, chuckling at me.
"I love you, Edward," I said, and I kissed him. I ran my fingers down his jaw; he was the same temperature as me now, and his skin was so soft and smooth.
"I can't believe you are even more beautiful now than you were before. It is like I was blind before, and your skin is so warm and soft. I love it," I said with a smile and kissed him again, before he had a chance to comment.
"If anyone in this room is beautiful, it is you, my love," he said, as he kissed me again only with much more force. I could tell Edward was not holding anything back, and it excited me. But before I got too excited, he pulled away; and I pouted.
"Tell me, love; what do you hear and smell in the house?" he asked me, putting me down on my own two feet. Well that was an odd question, but I listened closely. I could hear the family, as clear as if they were in the room with us. Then, I noticed the beautiful sound of our daughter's tiny little heartbeat; it was a beautiful sound. I looked to Edward with an excited look.
"Ren! Can I go see her now? But wait, I won't hurt her; will I?" I asked, my excitement turning to fear.
"Just take a deep breath and tell me what you smell, love," he said, putting a loving arm around me.
I took a deep breath, but didn't notice anything in particular. I could smell more distinctly the scents of my family, but then I noticed a new smell. It was very sweet and called to me. Not in a yummy food sort of way, but that sweet baby smell mothers talk about. But this was sweeter; this was my baby, mine and Edward's baby.
"I won't hurt her; will I? She smells wonderful; but it is just a sweet baby smell, not a food smell. Did you know this?" I asked him, wondering if she smelled like this to everyone else.
"She is in no danger from the others, Bella. I think it is the vampire side of her that makes her scent different. She has a more mature mind and has an interesting way of communicating," he told me with wonder in his voice. It seems our baby girl already had her daddy wrapped around her little finger.
"That she does, love. Come on; let's go introduce you properly to our little girl," he said, winking at me.
"What do you mean an interesting way of communicating?" I asked, as we walked out of the room.
"Oh, you will see," he said with a grin.
We walked downstairs; and everyone was huddled around Esme, who was holding a pink bundle and a baby bottle. I heard the baby sucking down the horrid smelling formula; oh well, she seemed to like it. They all looked up and smiled at us, as we came down the stairs. Esme got up from the couch and walked over to me with a happy smile on her face.
"Bella, I believe I have someone here who wants to meet you. She has been asking for you," Esme said, handing my baby over to me. I looked down at the tiny baby in my arms; she was beautiful. She looked just like Edward, except for my eyes. She had a head full of bronze colored hair, curly just like Charlie's; and her eyes were the same chocolate brown as my human ones. I could only stare into her beautiful eyes. I picked up her tiny hand and kissed it and placed it on my cheek. My mind was suddenly filled with the image of me kissing Ren's hand and a feeling of happiness. I gasped.
"What was that?" I asked a grinning Edward.
"That is how she communicates; I told you it was interesting. She can project her thoughts to you. That is what Esme meant when she said that she has been asking for you," Edward said with a proud look on his face.
"Well, aren't you a talented little one," I said, kissing her sweet smelling hair. Edward sat on the couch and pulled me onto his lap. We snuggled up and watched and talked to our daughter. I had never felt happier.
"I hate to break this up guys, but Bella is a newborn...and she hasn't fed yet. Aren't you feeling the burn in your throat yet?" Jasper asked hesitantly. I could tell he felt bad about interrupting our family time.
"All I am picking up from you, baby sister, is love, happiness, and contentment. You are truly a wonder. You should be feeling out of control and wild with thirst," Jasper said confused.
"Well, now that you mention it. I am feeling a burn in my throat; but I don't feel out of control, as you can tell," I told him, looking down at my baby again.
Edward gave me a regretful look.
"Jasper is right, love; let's go hunt real quickly, and then we can return to our baby," he told me gently. I got up slowly and reluctantly handed the baby to an eager Rose.
"Okay, let's go; but not too far, I want to get back as soon as I can," I said, watching Rose coo at Renesmee. Rose put Ren's tiny hand to her face and laughed.
"She is wondering what happened to her mommy and daddy," she grinned at us. I ran over to Rose and knelt down beside her. Rose held Ren up, so I could talk to her.
"Don't worry, little one; daddy and I are going hunting quickly because mommy is thirsty. I will be back in a little while. You have fun with your aunts and uncles and Grandma Esme and Grandpa Carlisle, okay?" I said to her. I put her hand on my face, and she let me know she understood. Edward gave her a kiss on the forehead too, and we headed out the door into the woods.
We got to the edge of the woods, and Edward turned to me with mischievous look in his eyes; and he grinned.
"Race ya!" he yelled, and he was off. I laughed at his sudden playfulness and ran after him. I now saw what Edward had been saying, running was second nature to us. I loved this feeling of freedom and the wind blowing my hair. With my newborn strength, I soon caught up with my husband. We had been running for about ten minutes, and Edward motioned for me to stop.
"Okay, baby, close your eyes and take in your surroundings. What do you hear and smell?" he asked, taking my hands.
I concentrated and took in a deep breath and listened. I heard heartbeats, and these were definitely calling to me. I smelled the rich blood and the venom pooled in my mouth.
"What is it?" I asked in a whispered voice.
"It is deer. I figured you wanted to get back home to Ren, and these are the closest animals worth feeding on. Unless you want to try to find something else," he replied.
"No, this is good; and from the sound of it, there will be plenty for both of us," I said, smiling at him. He was correct; I did want to get home to our baby. There would be plenty of time for me to try out different animals, but I didn't want to miss anymore of our baby than I had to.
"Okay, we are going to go after them from opposite sides. You take the right, and I will take the left; that way they won't have as much of a chance to spread out," he said, and off we went in opposite directions. I was able to take down two deer my first try, and Edward was most impressed. The blood felt wonderful to my suddenly parched throat. I finished the second deer and sat up to see Edward watching me with hooded eyes.
"That was one of the sexiest things I have ever seen, Bella. You taking down your prey and feeding; I have no words, baby," he said in a husky voice. I didn't think; I just pounced, and we went rolling down the slight slope we were on. We were kissing and groping and moaning. Edward started kissing down my throat and unzipping my coat. We were trying to be careful not to rip each other's clothes, when that was all I wanted to do. I just wanted my husband naked and inside me. Edward heard my thoughts because he growled loudly.
"I'm sorry, baby," he murmured against my skin and ripped my clothes off me. I was so turned on that I didn't care we were in the middle of the forest naked. I grinned at him and ripped his clothes off.
"Only fair, baby; but I am not going to pretend to apologize," I told him. Since I was stronger than him now, I flipped him over so I could straddle him. We were both already so turned on that there was no need for extended foreplay. I straddled his lap and speared myself with his cock. We both moaned at the feel of being joined.
"Oh baby, you feel so good. It feels like the first time we made love; you are so tight," Edward moaned out, as he started to move underneath me. I could only moan in response. My new senses heightened everything about our love-making; it was all so overwhelming. It didn't take long for me to reach my orgasm, but Edward wasn't done with me yet. He flipped us back over and began pounding into me again. I reached up and ran my fingers though his hair and brought his mouth to mine in a searing kiss.
"I love you, Edward. I never imagined it could feel like this," I panted out. With those words, he roared out his release triggering another of my own. We lay panting in each other's arms and shared sweet kisses. When we regained our composure, we quickly buried our kills and headed back to our cottage to get cleaned up and dressed.

I had always enjoyed making love to Bella as a human, but making love to Bella as a vampire was unbelievable. I cannot believe I ever considered not changing my beloved. I looked over at her, as we ran back to our cottage; she was so happy. Jasper said that was all he could pick up from her was love, happiness, and contentment. I must say that I felt the same way. I was going to have to tell Bella about the dog imprinting on our daughter soon. I hated to burst our happy bubble so soon, but I knew the dog would try something; and I wanted to be prepared.
"Bella, love, I have something to tell you," I told her as we finished getting ready. She looked so happy when she looked up at me; her eyes were golden now after feeding. Since she had been on animal blood for eight months, she didn't have the blood-red newborn eyes.
"What is it, baby?" she asked, nothing but love and concern in her beautiful golden eyes.
"While you were finishing up your transformation, Jacob Black showed up," I started.
"He didn't try to hurt Ren; did he?" she growled out. She was not going to be happy about this, but she needed to know.
"No, he didn't. At first, it was his intention to kidnap her so you would come to him," I said, and she roared this time. I was going to have to get this out quick, before she destroyed something.
"But then he saw her. Baby, he imprinted on Renesmee," I said and cringed. She got a confused look on her face.
"Imprint? But, isn't that what happens when the wolves find their mates? He can't do that; she is just a baby," she said. I knew she wasn't accusing me of lying; she was just trying to understand.
"He did, baby. Evidently it doesn't matter what age they are when they see that girl; they imprint. He was very adamant about seeing her. He said we couldn't keep him away from her," I told her, getting angry all over again.
"That's what he thinks!" she shrieked.
"This is the most disgusting thing I have ever heard of. That is just wrong. She is a baby," she yelled and paced about our bedroom.
"Don't worry, sweetheart; he is in jail right now. Charlie drove up when he started to fight us, and he arrested him. Let's go see Ren, and then we can go file a restraining order against him," I told her. She seemed slightly comforted by this thought, and she took my hand; and we ran out of the house to see our baby.

The whole family was enamored with our baby. She really was perfect. We were all gathered around cooing and talking to her as she lay on the couch. This was going to be the most loved baby in the world. As we were sitting there, Edward's cell rang. He got up to answer it; the smile that was on his face left and was replaced by anger. I got up and walked over to him. He put his arm around my shoulders and hugged me.
"Thanks, Charlie; we will be there in 10 minutes to file that restraining order," he said as he hung up. He pinched the bridge of his nose and looked down.
"Jacob was released on bond; we need to get to the station and file that restraining order," he said, once he looked up.
"Come on; the sooner we get this done, the better I will fill," I said and turned back to our family.
"Go on; we have Ren, and you know she is safe with us," Carlisle said.
We arrived at the station 10 minutes later. We got out of my car and headed up the steps. Jacob opened the door, heading out of the station; and I froze.
"Bella! What are you doing here? I already posted bond, so you don't have to worry about that. How is our girl doing?" he asked cheerfully.
Was he insane?
"How our girl is doing?" I asked, pointing between Edward and me.
"It is none of your business. Now get out of my way; we are here to file a restraining order on you. You are never coming near our baby," I snarled, pushing past him.
"What do you mean that it is none of my business? Of course, it is my business; she is my imprint. This fixes everything Bella; we can be in each other's lives. You can keep Edward, and I will be with Nessie," he said proudly.
"If you think I am going to let you sniff around our baby after you tried every trick in the book to break us up, you are crazier than I thought. You are not going to be in my life, Jacob Black, especially not as my son-in-law. This whole imprinting business is sick, and her name is Renesmee!" I yelled. I looked around; luckily, the parking lot was empty, and there was no one around. I could see Jacob getting angry.
"Bella is right, dog; you are never coming near our daughter. I thought I made myself clear before Charlie arrested you," Edward said.
"You can't keep me from her. She is MINE," he roared. Charlie came running out of the station then.
"What is going on here?" Charlie asked.
"No, Jacob, she will never be yours," I said; and with that I turned around, and Edward and I went back to my car and headed home.
"We can't stay here," I cried out, as we drove home.
"He won't ever give up; I could see it in his mind," Edward said, taking my hand.
We pulled up to the main house; and everyone ran outside, minus Rose who was inside with baby.
"I saw your discussion on the way home. We have already begun to pack," Alice said, as we climbed out of the car.
"I am so sorry, Bella," Esme said. She knew this would kill me to move away from Charlie.
"He will understand, Bella. He just wants us to be safe, and he knows Jacob will never leave us alone. He and Cora can fly to see us often; we will figure out a way that Jacob won't be able to track him," Edward said, pulling me into a hug.
"Come on, and let's finish packing," I said; I wanted out of here before Jacob tried to come back.

I watched as Bella and Edward pulled away. I wasn't going to let them keep me away from Nessie. Charlie then grabbed me by the arm again and pulled me into the station.
"What are you doing, Charlie?" I asked; we were just yelling nothing to arrest me over.
"Disturbing the peace and that is 24 hours," Charlie said plainly.
"What about them? They were yelling too," I screamed.
"Now, resisting arrest and that is another 24 hours," Charlie said, throwing me back in my cell. Just two days from now and I was going back to the Cullen's to see my Nessie.
