Chapter 7: Like Mother, Like Daughter

Bella's POV

Renesmee's scent had led us to the treaty border and Edward was determined to cross over there and find our daughter. I had to distract Edward to keep him from doing something that might put us all in danger.

So I decided to ask him something had been bothering me all day.

"Edward, what were you doing back here the day you found her?" I asked. He took a deep breath before continuing "I came back because I wanted to check on you without you seeing me. I was hunting in the woods when I heard a baby crying. I found her covered in nothing but dirt and twigs. I took her home and later I adopted her. I never got to check on you like I wanted. I wish I had though. I could have saved you from all this pain! We could have been together all this time! I'm such a horrible person!" he shouted. I could not believe what he was saying "Edward! Look at me!" I demanded. I grabbed his face and forced him to look at me when he kept averting my gaze. "Edward you are not a horrible person! How can you even say that about yourself! You took in a baby, a little baby girl and you raised her, you've loved her, and cared for without even knowing she was really yours. You are not a monster!" I said. "Okay, you're right" he said.

"Why don't you tell me more about her. What was she like when she was little?" I asked. I really wanted to about her. I want to know what her experience was like.

"She was always a very happy kid. Even when she was a baby she used to giggle all the time. She used to pee on me all the time when I would change her diaper" he said and I burst out laughing. He raised an eyebrow at me "Sorry, the idea of her peeing on you is just too funny. I wish I would have been there to see that" I said.

"Like mother, like daughter. You should have seen how much she would giggle and smile as she was doing it" he said which earned another laugh from me.

"Anyways. She was always terrified of thunder as a little girl. She would come running and screaming for me. Only the lullaby I created for her would soothe her" he said. "You made her a lullaby?" I asked. "Yes. You and her are the only ones that have ever inspired lullabies" he said. I smiled because I can see clearly just how much he loves her.

"She has always loved school. Well, she went through a brief period when she was eight where she didn't want to go to school. I later found out that it was because she was being bullied and getting beat up by a bunch of boys" he said. "Oh my god!" I nearly shouted. "Yeah, I wanted to kill the boys" he said.

"When did you tell her about being a vampire?" I said. "I didn't. She figured it out on her own. Just like you did. Like mother, like daughter" he said.

"We've moved around a lot because of my lack of aging. We pose as twins right now because of how similar we are. It never made sense, until now" he said.

"What about her interests? What does she do for fun? Does she have a boyfriend?" I asked. His eyes widened before saying"No! No boyfriends!" he shouted. "Okay, what about the other questions?" I asked.

"She loves reading, writing and music. She also loves to watch movies. Her favorite movie is Remember Me. That movie creeps me out though" he said. "Why?" I asked curiously. "The main guy looks exactly like me. It's weird" he said. "I'll have to se it then" I said.

I noticed that it was already very late and she wasn't back yet. Edward and I were getting very worried about her. Somehow I managed to keep him from going over there.

Morning came around and still no sign of her until Edward and I heard a noise. We looked up and I saw Renesmee on Jacob's back in midair. I was terrified that she would fall off and get hurt. Luckily nothing happened. She kissed his snout, just like I used to do, and said bye to him.

Edward went from worried to furious in less than a second. Everyone remained silent the whole way home.

"Edward go easy on her. She seems like a good kid and I don't think she meant to worry you" I said as she was showering.

"I'll talk to her. I won't punish her this time because she has never done this before. But, I'll make it very clear that if she ever does this again I will punish her" he said.

I was worried about what I was going to say to her. How was I going to tell her that I was mother.

"What are you thinking about Bella?" he asked. "I'm worried about how she'll react when I tell her that I'm her mother" I said.

"You're my mom?" came a voice from behind us. We turned around and saw Renesmee with tears rolling out of her eyes. She let out a shaky breath before running out the door. "Renesmee wait!" Edward and I shouted before we ran after her.

We could no longer see her.
