Chapter 17
(Renesmee's Pov.)
I look into my baby brothers eyes and notice that the gold spots in his eyes are growing, turning his brown iris's gold. I yelp and tell Mommy in a loud voice. Eddie moves and I feel a pain through my body.
It feels like it's burning my insides, frying my nerves. It's hot and cold, it's dull and sharp. It's like being cut over and over again with a jagged, rusty knife, and the pouring lemon juice in the cuts. I try not to, but the screams rack my body. I feel my muscles clenching but I don't have any control over it. My vision fades and everything goes black. And the pain stops. But so, do, my, thoughts.
(Bella's Pov.)
Seconds after she starts screaming, she clenches every muscle in her body, trying to stop the pain. Edward snatches Eddie from her arms, and I press my daughter's hand to my face. Just as Eddie leaves her arms, her thoughts go blank. But the pain she had felt before that was worse than being changed into a vampire.
A second later, her thoughts come back and she feels the pain, only three times less now. She curls herself into a ball and Jacob stands and takes her in to his arms, leaning against me on the bed. I look over to Edward, holding our son.
He has a look of pure horror on his face. I go over to him as he quickly sets my newborn son on the ground. Eddie starts crying and I feel more confused than I have been in a while.
Edward looks at me and says quietly, "Eddie did that to her. He seems more than one power, and a lot of them can cause pain. He didn't mean to, but he did it. No one is allowed to hold him except Bella and I."
Our family starts to protest, but I glare at them all and go back to my daughter. I couldn't believe that Eddie would do this. Renesmee starts to wake up and I rest my hand on her overly hot forehead.
She raises her eyes to see me, still snuggled against Jake's chest. She asks me, dreading the answer, "Eddie did this to me? I thought he loved me."
Edward explains to her, "He's different Nessie. He doesn't understand his gifts. He has so many of them, and you startled him by raising your voice. It's not his fault."
Renesmee starts to glare at him. "Oh, so it's my fault? I'm sorry; I totally should have known that by talking loud, my baby brother would try to kill me. Of course it's my fault." I stare at her in shock. Where did the attitude come from?
Edward starts to say something but is cut off by Eddie's cries. Everyone instantly goes over to him, leaving Renesmee alone with Jacob, Seth and Leah, who I didn't see come in. Instead of focusing on my daughter I look at my son in awe. My baby boy, staring up at me with his beautiful gold eyes.
"Are you serious? He could kill all of you! I'm the one who needs attention right now! I'm in pain!" Renesmee shouts at us. I go over and glare at her. "Your brother was just crying. He is more important than you right now." I say, surprised at how selfish she sounded.
"Oh, I'm sorry. It's not like I just got my insides burned. Eddie being uncomfortable on the floor is way more important than checking to make sure I'm, I don't know, dying or something!" She all but screams at me. Rosalie looks at me and says, "You have to admit Bella, she's right. We should be focusing on her right now. She replayed the pain for me, and it seemed pretty serious."
I glare at my sister in-law. "I think I know how to mother my children. Stop trying to get in my way."
Renesmee starts screaming hysterically at me. "You apparently aren't doing a very good job! Aunt Rose is right! I'm in pain right now, and all you care about is him! I love him too, but shouldn't you make him leave before he-"
She's cut off by some invisible force throwing her through the wall. I look at my son who is still crying and wonder how dangerous he really is.
"Oh my God! Renesmee!" Leah shouts and bolts towards the new hole in the wall.
This time, everyone is checking on Renesmee. She's fine, but still angry. She marches over to her little brother, and despite the warnings we give her, she pulls him into her arms and starts projecting.
We all tense, ready to separate them before someone gets hurt. Instead, Eddie giggles and so does Renesmee. Edward relaxes, and in turn so does everyone else.
I realize that I had my third snap of control as a newborn, and Renesmee is jealous of her brother.
I leave my children under the watchful eye of our entire family, and pull Edward into the living room. We sit on the couch and I ponder what had just happened. My son was born, my daughter almost died, we found out my son could harm people with his mind in different ways, and I lost control and got in a fight with my daughter, all in two hours. Even for a vampire, that was a lot.
Edward turns to me and explains his idea. "Bella, we have to train him. He doesn't have control over his power, and he could hurt someone again. I want to take him away."
"This feels like déjà vu. I get why you want that, but what about Renesmee? She can't come with us." I reply.
"I know love, but we'll come back when he has it under control. It's not forever."
"I don't want to do this. I can't leave my baby girl, even if it is for her own good. This will kill her." I argue. I just was thinking that I would never separate this family again.
Edward sends me a pained expression. "I don't want this either Bella. I love my daughter, but I would rather her be sad than actually dead, wouldn't you? We don't know what Eddie is capable of."
I lower my head I shame. I didn't realize it sounded like that. I fall back on the couch and groan in confusion. What did I want?
(A/N Sorry if the whole Eddie Nessie scene was a little out of character. Please review and give me your opinions!)
