Chapter 1

I never thought my life would be perfect. I never thought I would get to spend it with Edward. We had all the time of forever and I still could not be with him enough. Charlie is still in my life, and he is about to marry Sue. Jacob has stuck around and carefully watches over Renesmee. My beautiful daughter. Our beautiful daughter, our miracle. Another person I never imagined having in my life, but could now not picture it without her. Still growing rapidly, she now looked to be about 6 years old, but was as smart as any of us. She loved to read and loved to learn. The only thing missing was my mom, Renee. We have spoken on the phone but I have not seen her since the wedding. She knows nothing of Renesmee, or the fact that I was changed. She was planning a visit, and we were unsure of how to explain things. Alice said everything is going to be fine, her reassurance helps but I'm sill completely shaken about what she will think or say.

"Mommy?" Renesmee asked.

"Yes Baby?" I replied.

"Where is my Jacob?"

"I'm sure he will be here soon hunny, you know he cannot stay away from you for too long, you are just too much fun."

Edward sighed. In just a few more years she would look 17 or 18. She would be fully grown after just 7 short years. We knew Jacob would take care of her, and she absolutely adored him. It's just too hard to picture them as a couple, getting married, having children? It was all happening too fast..

"Mommy? Are you okay?

"What? Oh, yes I'm fine. "I must have dazed out for a minute. I seem to being doing that a lot lately, just thinking about things too much. "Why don't you go get dressed Renesmee, and I will make you breakfast." She made a disgusted face. She likes, or tolerates human food, bur prefers to hunt.

"Can't I just wait for Jacob and go hunt?" She asked. "We will all go hunt later, you should eat something now." "Okay mommy." I watched her dance off into her room.

I started into the small kitchen to make her eggs and bacon, the most appealing breakfast food to her. She didn't tolerate cereal or much of anything else.

"Bella, my love, what seems to be bothering you? Are you worried about Renee? Edward asked.

"I just don't know what she will think, of everything, of Renesmee, what if she hates us? "Your mother could never hate you, or Renesmee. Charlie seemed to take it all in okay."

Charlie was still on a need to know basis. But with Renesmee growing from a charming toddler into a small child in just under 2 years, he was starting to ask more questions. Unfortunately, so was everyone else in town, so we were preparing to move. The Cullen's lack of aging always had them moving around before people would become suspicious. We had already gotten our paperwork, as well as paperwork for Jacob since he would be practically living with us. He could not bear to be away from Renesmee for more than a day or so.

Edward came and wrapped his arms around me,"Apparently Renee could not wait any longer. She will be here today."

"What? TODAY? I yelled. "But I'm not ready, WE are not ready! What made her change her mind?"

"I'm not sure love but she will be arriving at Charlie's in a few hours. Let's go talk to the others".

"Renesmee? We're going to talk with the rest of the family. Someone special is coming to meet you. Your grandmother Renee. She is like Charlie, so you have to be very careful around her."

"I will mommy. I love Charlie. And Sue and Jacob and everyone else. What if SHE doesn't like ME?" Renesmee frowned.

"She will love you, as everyone does." Edward answered her.

We headed to the house and Alice was already waiting for us. "Bella, your mother has been doing some research. She obviously noted there was something different about us, but as everyone else had no idea what it could be. She has some thoughts, and she seems fine about it all, just confused, so I think explain things to her will be quite easy. "She smiled and danced out of the room.

"Well I guess we better head to Charlie's then. " I stated.

"Actually, Charlie is bringing her here, and Jacob will be with them. " Unfortunately Charlie isn't very good at hiding things, and he does not want her to ask him questions he will not know how to answer. So he figured it best to bring her here."

We all sat around preparing for the best way to tell Renee. The way Charlie found out with Jacob phasing first? No, she had read up on myths and legends of gorgeous, pale creatures, not wolves. At least I no longer had to wear the irritating contacts; my eyes were now an amber-gold color. Renesmee had my beautiful brown eyes. Renee would surely be able to see that. She would not believe she was adopted. She would KNOW that somehow, someway, Renesmee was ours, which meant Charlie would want to know the truth as well. I then began to think about her research, and what mystical creature she had come up with. I also wondered if we were the only creatures, besides the wolves, that were real.

"Edward?" I asked. "Are the any other real fairy tail creatures? Or villains? Like are there really wizards, witches, warlocks, zombies, mummys or anything like that?"

He chuckled at my questioning. " Do you really believe that vampires and werewolves are the only possibility? I actually cannot believe you haven't asked me this sooner, love. Of course there are others, but they mean no harm to us, and we rarely come into contact with them. Their aren't and mummys or zombies running around, but there are wizards and warlocks. Of course they are nothing like they are portrayed, and.."

He was cut off in the middle of his story by the sound of tires coming up the drive. Charlie was here with Renee. There were so many feelings rushing through me all at once; I was happy, I hadn't seen my mother in 2 years, but I was worried and nervous as to what she would think. I was fearful, for her and Charlie to know the real truth they would be in danger of the Volturi. By their law, my parents would have to join or die. I wouldn't let it come to that. They would never find out, they would never need to know. The Cullen's have coexisted with humans for decades, yes, everything would be fine.

"Bells?" I heard Charlie ask. " I brought an early visitor."

"Bella!" My darling daughter! My mother was glowing. She was so happy to see me. She didn't even note my appearance she just rant o me and sqeezed me as tightly as she could. "Oh how I have missed you! How is Edward and the rest of the family? How is married life? Should I be expecting any grandchildren soon?

"Whoa mom slow down for a minute." I had asked Rosalie to keep Renesmee upstairs until we were to introduce her. So she didn't know that much. Well, she obviously wasn't aware she was already a grandmother.

"It has been years and you don't look a day over 18! And your glowing, you must be so happy! Your eyes are lighter, but I expected that. Of course you are more gorgeous than ever."

I was confused. She had to know how different I looked. And what did she mean she knew my eyes would be a different color? I knew she had been doing research but how much did she know?

"Renee, it is lovely that you could visit. I know how much Bella has missed you. We have a lot of catching up to do." Edward greeted my mother.

She hugged him" I knew you two were perfect for each other. I knew you weren't making a mistake marrying so early. You will be good to my Bella, and will be happy together forever."

I was even more confused. How MUCH did she know? Forever? Did she know we would outlive her by centuries? That we WOULD live forever?

"Okay mom, let's sit down and talk, I think we both have some explaining to do. Why don't you tell us what you know first, you have been doing research?" I asked.

"Well yes Bella I have, but how exactly did you know that? She replied.

"Aside from your reaction to me, and how calm you are about everything, and the fact that I have changed in so many ways, we also have a way… Well let's hear your theories first.

"Well then where to begin? When you and Edward came to visit, I knew there was something different about him. I knew that you two were in love, and it was an unconditional love. I knew that he would do anything to protect you. But I also noticed how different he was, not in a bad way. He talked as if he was from a different time. Courted you, and respected you. That is very hard to find today. Most men believe Chivalry is dead, but not your Edward. He was breathtaking of course, but he didn't eat, and wouldn't come outside. I didn't really think about it for awile. Then when you had your accident and we were at the hospital waiting for you to wake up, he looked so devastated, like he was losing his whole world. At first I thought it was just the unconditional love, and I was grateful that you had found someone so perfect for you. While he was sleeping the nurse came in to change your bandages, and I saw the scar on your wrist. That is when I began my research. I discovered many theories, most which seemed to be nonsense. But a few that made sense. Once I realized that the Cullen's were vampires…"

I cut her short immediately. "Wait you KNEW, before we even got married? You knew what the risks where and you were okay with it al? why didn't you say anything? The rest of the family was now in the rook listening to her story, other than Rosalie who was growing impatient hiding Renesmee.

"I figured it was best of me not too Bella, and I knew he would never hurt you, nor would his family. I knew there was something different about the Cullen's, I knew they could never hurt anyone. When I found out you were sick I knew that you had also been changed, and I knew it would be awile before I would be able to visit. I knew that they would not have changed you unless there was no other option. I knew that they would not age, they were frozen in time, and that they were immortal. That is pretty much all I know, other than some vampires have special powers? Anyways, the last time I spoke with you, there was something different, a joy I your voice that I had never heard before, and also a sadness. So I decided to come immediately."

"You didn't feel the need to explain any of this to me Renee? Charlie asked. I had to find out the hard way? By Jacob turning into a wolf.

"Wolf? What are you talking about Charlie? I know nothing of wolves?"

"We will let Jacob explain that part you mom." I replied.

I could not believe that my mother had known all along, I was shocked but relieved. The only person that was missing from my life, and there was a point in time that I thought I would never see her again. But she knew, and she wasn't the least bit concerned or frightened. In fact, she acted like it was nothing out of the ordinary, something that happens everyday. Her daughter being turned into a vampire.

"Okay well I guess we don't need to explain to much to you then. Oh the powers you speak of. Alice can see the future, to some extent, which is how we knew you were coming early, and that you had been doing research. Edward can read minds, and Jasper can control the moods and emotions of those around him. And I am considered a shield. I can block everyone out of my mind, but I can also protect others if need be."

" That is very interesting, and amazing! You married into a such a wonderful lovely family Bella. But I must ask what WAS the reason for changing you? She asked.

"This is a bit hard to explain. When Edward and I were uh.. on our.. honeymoon.. we didn't think it was possible.. for me to get pregnant..?

"What? Where is the baby? Was it safe what happened?" She pleaded for more.

Thankfully, Carlisle jumped in, knowing I was too embarrassed to finish the story.

" We had not thought to warn them, vampires mating with humans is not common, we did not know his was even a possibility. All we knew was that whatever was inside her was hurting her. Not intentionally of course, but because she was growing so fast and strong. Bella's pregnancy lasted merely three months. And in the course of giving birth, she almost died, so Edward put as much venom into her as possible, and she was changed. She has taken to immortality so well, like she was meant for this life.

"I always knew my baby was special. But wait, CHARLIE?" She screeched." We have a granddaughter and you didn't TELL me? How could you keep this from me? Is she human or a vampire? And What do you mean she grows rapidly?"

Edward decided to take his turn on explaining things. "Renesmee is beautiful, she is half human, and half vampire. She is growing remarkably. She is barely 2 years old and looks like a small 6 year old. Her mind is extremely advanced. She is very smart and she loves to learn. Because of her rapid growing, in just 5 short years she will be fully grown, looking to be about 17 or 18. Then she will stop and be frozen at that age."

"Well when do I get to meet my beautiful granddaughter? She asked.

Renesmee was already running down the steps with Rosalie just behind her. She looked so happy and exited to meet someone new, and to show her everything she has missed.

"Hi grandma, I'm Renesmee.
