Chapter 13
Bella's POV
He looked at me in shock.
"Momma doesn't cry," Nessie said trying to get out of James' arms.
"James," he said.
"Dad, I kept her away because of Nessie….I was keeping her safe," James said.
"I," he said.
"Keeping her from the Media, if Bella would have went out we wouldn't have any privacy," James said.
"The Media?" he asked.
He looked confused; I didn't tell him Edward was famous.
"Renesmee's father, "James said.
"Who?" he asked.
"Nessie, her real name is Renesmee." I said.
"Oh," he said.
"Okay, Nessie's father isn't the person….you wouldn't see on magazines. His fans love him, Nessie's father is a famous actor/singer," James said.
"Famous?" he asked.
I nodded.
"Edward never knew, I didn't tell him because I didn't want to risk his career." I said.
"Doesn't she need a father?" he asked.
"She does yes, but I think Bella and I are enough right now," James said.
"Does he even know now?" he asked.
I shook my head.
"He's in Seattle right now, I've seen him once," I said.
"Once?" he asked.
I nodded.
"Yes, we talked but I never brought up Renesmee," I said.
"Don't you think it'd be better to tell him sooner than later?" he asked
"Probably…but…I doesn't know if want to tell Edward," I said
"Bella, this kid will need a father in the future, the near future," he said.
"Dad….I'm sorry," I said.
"For what Bella?" he asked.
"For leaving during my pregnancy, for not contacting you, for not letting you know of Renesmee," I said.
"Bella, it's okay. I know now don't I? She's a beauty," he said.
I smiled.
"She looks a lot like Edward," I said/
James smiled at us.
"She has your curls," James said to him.
"She's adorable," he said.
"I know," I said.
He smiled at me, she was MY baby, I carried her for 9 months and went through (sixteen) hours of labor for her, I changed her diapers and stayed up for late night feedings and all of that, she is MINE.
"You did a good job Bells," he said.
I smiled at my old nickname.
"Thanks dad," I said.
He smiled and turned to me and not at Renesmee.
"Love you Bells," he said.
The tears came into my eyes right away.
"I love you too dad" I said.
He gave me a tight hug and I cried, well almost cried my eyes out. For the first time in 4 years, I was happy to have my father here knowing I wasn't dead.
"You can't tell Mom," James said.
Dad looked at him.
"Why not?" he asked.
"Bella needs to tell her, not you," he said.
Dad nodded/
"Of course, I get it," he said.
"You better, because I need to tell her," I said.
He nodded again.
"I think I should go," he said.
I nodded.
"Yes of course" I said.
He gave me a kiss on the cheek and told James and I he loved us before leaving. When he left the place, I looked to James.
"Why was he here in the first place?" I asked.
"Well…..there was a kidnapping somewhere in Seattle and some things were tracked here and I was called to help but I told them I couldn't meet the chief so they sent him here, I forgot it was dad," he said.
"How could you forget?" I hissed.
It was nice seeing my dad but now he knows, and he can't keep damn secrets from mom.
"I don't know Bella, it's been 4 years since we've seen him," he said.
I frowned, he was pointing out it was my fault, I had the baby, I wanted to protect her from the media and he's saying I kept him from his family because of Nessie.
"Fine, give me my daughter," I said.
"What?" he asked confused.
"You don't want us here, I see that now. I'll take Renesmee and go," I said.
"Bella that's, "he said.
I shushed him.
"I don't want to hear it, give me my daughter," I said.
"Honestly Bella,"he said.
Ignoring him I picked up my daughter from his arms and put her in mine, she didn't understand, she shouldn't understand us talking but she's smart so she might know.
"Momma, are we leaving?" she asked.
I nodded.
"For a little bit sweets, momma needs some time away from Uncle James," I said.
"Momma, no!" she said.
"I'm sorry Renesmee, we need to do some things on our own," I said.
Her lip trembled and she cried. I shushed her and rocked her in my arms before her crying settled down.
"Baby, I know you don't want to leave but we won't leave for good," I said.
She pouted.
"Momma," she said.
"Its okay baby, we'll find somewhere to stay, I love you so much to let you risk your life any longer," I said.
"Love you Momma," she said.
I smiled.
"I love you so much Renesmee," I said.
I kissed her forehead and put her on the bed before pulling out a suitcase and pulling some of her clothes and necessities in it, when I wanted to put her little lion in the bag she snatched it away from me and cuddled it in her arms. I wanted to cry now, a lion…that reminds me so much of Edward. He loved lions when I knew him and Renesmee is just like him.
"We'll be okay Renesmee, I promise," I said.
