Chapter 24 (Same day)
(Renesmee's Pov.)
After breakfast, my new Mommy looks at me and seems to have an idea. "Why don't we go to the zoo, Angel?"
"A zoo! I've never been to a zoo; I've only seen them on TV!" I say happily. I was going to the zoo for the first time. I grin as wide as I can and realize something. The smile on my face is not forced like it usually was. And I remember waking up this morning and feeling, content. I haven't been waiting for Bella and Edward to come tuck me in, and crying when they don't, now my new Mommy can do it!
And, something that sort of bothered me, I called the parents that left me 'Bella and Edward.' I couldn't bring myself to call them Mom or Dad. They weren't my parents anymore; a true parent would never abandon their child. And I called Rose and Emmet Mommy and Daddy now. They were my real parents. Even before Bella left, Rose was always there with me. When Bella wanted Edward to her, she would just get up and leave me. I guess she cared more about Edward than me now. It doesn't matter anymore, I already have parents.
"Mommy! Come on! I wanna go!" I shout to her, even though she could've heard me if I had whispered. She flashes to my side in a new outfit and says, "Don't you want to change first? If you're my daughter now, you have to dress more fashionably. We can't have you looking all slobby."
We go to my room and Mommy rustles through my closet. She pulls out a light pink summer dress that goes just below my knees. Above the waist band is white and below the waist band is the light pink. She puts a light pink bow with white dots on it in my hair.
"See? Now you look good." She says happily to me.
I wrinkle my nose at her and ask, "How can I, Renesmee Carlie Cullen, ever not be fashionable? I may be Bella Cul…." I trail off, not sure if I want to finish that sentence. Was I Bella Cullen's daughter? It didn't feel like it. But maybe there's no changing that. Maybe I am stuck with a mother who doesn't want me.
But then again, maybe she did want me. When she was pregnant with me, her, Rose, and Jacob were the only ones who wanted me. She wouldn't have endured that pain if she didn't love me, right? Or maybe she loved the thought of a child, but wasn't happy with me. So, she went and got Eddie and decided that that was good enough.
She didn't really want to leave though. Edward, the monster, had made her. He's the one who didn't want me. He was the one who forced her to go. She didn't want to; he did his weird, mind control thing. He had so much power over her it was sick. He was such a bast-
"Renesmee Carlie Cullen don't you dare finish that sentence!" Two voices ring out with others mixed in. I look at everyone in confusion and shock, whilst they all look at each other, trying to make sense of what had just happened.
"I wasn't projecting guys, how did you all hear that?" I ask slowly.
Rose-I mean mommy-shoots me a confused glance. I look to my grandpa, hoping he has an answer. Jacob walks into the house at that moment, Leah and Seth close at his heels.
He stops short, noticing for the first time that my family is all frozen in place. His eyes get wide in fear and he searches the room, looking for me.
"What, did someone die?" Seth jokes. When no one answers he gets a scared look on his face. "Did someone die?"
Grandpa is the first to snap out of the trance. "No one died, Seth. We just aren't sure what just happened. Renesmee was thinking something, becoming rather angry, and we all heard it. She wasn't touching anyone, and my guess is that her ability has grown."
I grin at this and try projecting to Jacob from a distance. Is that cool or what?
His face doesn't waver and I frown at him in confusion. "Jake?" I say while walking over to him. He looks down and smiles.
"Yes, Ness?"
"Did you hear what I was projecting?" I ask him.
He furrows his eyebrows and shakes his head. "I didn't hear anything I wasn't supposed to. Why?"
"I was trying to project to you without touching you. I guess it didn't work." Grandpa Carlisle comes over and kneels in front of me.
"It's okay Nessie; you just don't know how to do it yet. We'll keep working on it, okay?" I nod. "Now, go get in the car to go to the zoo." He pats my head and stands up. I run out and leap into Mommy's red convertible.
