Chapter 2 Bella's Pov. (Same day.)
I was lying on the couch with Edward, watching Renesmee putting together a puzzle. It was about nine o'clock at night, so I knew she would be getting tired soon. A lot of our time was spent at the big house, while we really only went to the cottage to sleep, or for a special occasion.
Edward glanced at me, realizing our daughters hands were getting slower and her head was drooping. He smiled at me and I nodded, knowing he was wondering if we should take her home. He rose to his feet and I couldn't help but admire his gorgeous body.
He bent down and scooped up our sleepy daughter. She didn't complain, just wrapped her arms around his neck end rested her head on his shoulder. He walked out of the living room and down the stairs to the door to leave.
Rosalie stopped him and gave Renesmee a kiss on the cheek, murmuring goodnight. I loved how close the two were, but sometimes it bothered me. I knew how much she wanted a child, but she didn't have to practically steal my child. ~~~ Rosalie would snap at me and tell me that since I had no fashion sense, I wasn't allowed to dress my own daughter. Like hell!
I have never admitted these feelings, not even to Edward. As selfish as this sounds, as long as Renesmee always chooses me instead of Rose, there wouldn't be a problem.
We flitted out the door and made our way at what seemed like a slow run to us. We got there in just under a minute. Edward ran upstairs to put Renesmee to sleep, and I want in to start a bath. Baths were our favorite time to be together, just Edward and me.
I had thought that balancing our time with Renesmee and our time alone would be a struggle, but it was much easier than I expected. She slept at night, and we did not.
Edward came in to our bedroom and followed my scent to the bathroom. Granted we didn't need a bathroom in our room (there was one connected to Renesmee's room and another down the hall) it was still nice to have one.
I smiled at my husband and slowly dropped the towel. Our night commenced passionately.
Author's Note: Sorry if I made it seem like Rose was the bad guy but I had to put that in there for later in my story. I'm planning on this being a 30 chapter story, maybe longer. I want to put in a sequel, it just depends on how far along the story is.
