Chapter 5: Bella
17 years after Renesmee's Birth
Bella's POV
Who new that a date could have such a profound impact on someone? Not me, not until 17 years ago to the day, which was the birth and death of my baby girl. This day of the year always has me extremely sad, even more sad that I usually am. My eyes burn with the tears I could no longer shed.
I had lost the one thing that matter most to me. I had two holes in my chest. One from when Edward left me and another from the death of our daughter.
I will never forget that day.
FLASHBACK
I was sleeping peacefully when I suddenly felt something squirt down my leg. Once I was able to look past my giant stomach I saw all the water. I didn't realize what happened until I felt the first painful contraction hit me. I screamed out in pain.
"What's wrong with you now Bella?!" Charlie demanded. He had been very horrible to me since I told him that I was pregnant. He even told me just how much he was disgusted with me for sleeping with Edward, every single day. I was planning on moving out once I had the baby.
"The baby's coming" I said. He just rolled his eyes as he lifted me up. Once I had gotten to the hospital I was already dilated to eight centimeters. The doctors were amazed by how fast the baby was coming. I think it had something to do with her vampire heritage. Soon they started telling me to push, and within a few minutes I heard her first cry. "It's a girl" the doctor announced as she handed me my daughter. She had his bronze hair and my brown eyes. "So beautiful" I said to her and kissed her. The lack of energy from the labor caught up to me and I passed out. When I woke up later my baby was gone. "Where is she?" I asked. "She's dead. She had a heart condition and it killed her" dad said.
Those words shattered my world. My baby, my little nudger was gone.
END OF FLASHBACK
Charlie kicked me out that very same day not caring about how sore and tired I was, saying that he didn't want to take care of me anymore, I haven't seen him since. I went to live with my best friend Jacob. He told me what he and his tribe were. Shape shifters or protectors because they protected humans against vampires.
I had lived there peacefully for awhile until Victoria came looking for me for revenge. I was alone in our meadow. This meadow held lots of memories for me. This was where I had lost my virginity to Edward that night that my father had gone on an overnight trip. This is also were Victoria tried to kill me, but thanks to the wolves intervention she only succeeded in changing me.
I left after that because I didn't want to cause any conflicts among the wolves even though I only hunted animals.
I live in Alaska now as I have been for a few years. My cellphone rang pulling me out of my memories. It was Jacob calling me. I maintained contact with him throughout the years.
"Bella, you have to back to Forks now" Jacob said. "Why?" I asked. "It's about your dad. He has leukemia and he's dying. He's wants to see you before he dies though, he says there is something very important that he has tell you" he said. "Oh my god!" I gasped. "I'm on my way" I said before hanging up. No matter how he treated me, I still loved him.
Within a few hours I was at the hospital. He looked in very bad shape. "You haven't changed a bit Bells" he said. "Dad I..." I started to say. "Don't say anything. There are somethings that I need to tell you. Things I truly regret doing" he said. "Dad I forgive you for how you treated me" I said. "It's not just that. There's more. The other thing I did is truly unforgivable. It's about that little baby girl you had" he said looking very nervous. "What about her?" I asked feeling confused by the direction our conversation was taking. "I lied to you. She didn't have a heart condition and she didn't die. I paid off the doctors to go along with that lie. When you passed out I took her and dumped her deep into the forest" he said. "You did what?!" I shouted. I had to control myself before I accidentally killed him. "How could you?!" I screamed. "I'm sorry" he said. "Sorry! You're sorry! Sorry doesn't fix the damage you caused. Sorry won't bring her back from the dead because I'm sure that's what you wanted!" I continued yelling. "I don't think she's dead though! When I went back later that day she was gone, but there was no sign that an animal had gotten to her" he said.
I couldn't believe it. Was it truly possible that my daughter could be alive after all these years? The one thing I did know was that I had to get out of here. I left without saying a word.
I went to the meadow where I saw a young girl already there. I let out an audible gasp when she turned around. She had his bronze hair and my eyes. It couldn't be?
"Are you okay?" she asked. "Yes, I'm okay. Who are you and how do you know about this place?" I asked. "I'm Renesmee Cullen and my dad showed me this place when moved here fwo years ago. He said it was a very special place and he wanted to share it with me" she said. "Who are you?" she asked. I was still stuck on her last name but I thought maybe it was a coincidence. "I'm Bella Swan" I said. Her eyes widened in surprise. "My dad has told me a lot about you and you just like the girl in his pictures, although he never mentioned that you were a vampire" she said. "What's his name?" I asked. "Edward Cullen. He's not my biological father though. He found me here deep in the woods 17 years ago exact" she said.
It was official, this was my daughter. Edward found and raised our daughter and he doesn't even know it.
Edward appeared, but he didn't notice me right away. "Ness, I've been looking for you he said" he said. "Dad look" she said looking at me. Edward turned around slowly and when we locked eyes, he gasped in pure shock.
