20. Cheerful
Renesmee P.O.V
When I got inside the huge house I could smell blood faintly, mixed with bleach and some sterilizing fluid. It was coming from Carlisle's operation room.
"Renesmee!" I heard my mother's voice coming from the top of the stairs, she was down quickly, hugging me.
"Mom I've only been gone for a few hours, how's Megan?" I asked.
"She's okay now, there was a lot of blood but she managed, it was a bit like you were born, only Megan heals faster." I shuddered remembering my bloody birth all too clearly.
"She's still a bit tired but she woke up when she heard you arrive, she's asking for you." She said leading me to the stairs. Jacob and the others decided to go to the living room.
When I got to Megan in Carlisle's makeshift hospital room Megan was sitting up holding her baby in her arms, looking lovingly at the tiny girl.
"Hey Meg." I said going to her bed and sitting down next to her.
"Renesmee, sorry to spoil you camping trip, you didn't really need to come back early." She said as I sat down.
"I want to be here for you Meg, I promised you didn't I?" I smiled at her. "What's her name?" I asked gesturing to the tiny girl. She was covered in blankets so I couldn't see her properly, just a bit of golden hair.
"Ellery Renée Cullen." She sighed the name then handed her to me.
"That's a strange name, why?" I asked as I took the baby.
"Well Ellery means 'cheerful' in Latin, and she is a very cheerful baby, my mom says she's always smiling at everyone. Renée is for you, you're like a sister to me." She explained, I could see the thin layer of moisture threatening to overflow her eyelids.
"So she's a cheerful me?" I asked, then she opened her eyes.
Her eyes were bright blue, just like her fathers had been. Her hair had reached her shoulders by now, in the light it looked like a halo surrounding her head, she looked like an angel, her skin was very fair, like her father's had been, her lips were pink and in a perfect little smile with bright, white milk teeth as all hybrid children are already born with.
Ellery reached a tiny hand and touched one of the copper curls that hung at my chin. She pulled it until it was straight, then let go and laughed as it bounced back into a tight curl.
"She's Beautiful." I whispered looking at the little girl laugh.
The sun shone through the slightly opened curtains then, it slanted over Ellery and I, both our skin glowed subtly, she looked at her arm watching it glow, it was very faint even to my eyes, to a human it would be impossible to notice, though it had mainly to do with her ivory skin.
As I handed her back to Megan my mind couldnt help but wonder what her father would have thought if he had been here.
