Bella's POV

"Mom"? I asked. I was so surprised.

My mom was here?! Why? How? I was so confused but a bit happy too. I had missed her so much. I did wonder why she just suddenly came. How did she even know--CHARLIE! She probably went over there first and they talked..

Oh no! What if--, no Charlie wouldn't tell her--, would he? Well she doesn't look afraid or unhappy, so maybe she didn't know. Good.

Suddenly she looked like she was about to burst of into tears. I guess she was really glad to finally see me after all these years.. I hope she didn't notice my new look or anything..

"Bella! Baby! Oh, I have missed you so much!" she gushed. Here we go.

"How are you? You look beautiful! How is your life?" she finished in one breath.

Great. So she did notice. I hope I didn't have to explain anything to her. Renee looked the same. Just she looked slightly older. But you could barely notice.

"I'm great...Mom, what are you doing her?". I asked her. I really did want to know. What if this was some kind of trap. The Volturi.... No. Maybe she just missed me. After all, she hasn't seen me in 4 years.

She instatly repiled. She looked really excited. "I wanted to come and visit you. I missed you so much. I wanted to see how you're doing and wanted to be close to you again." she breathed and then continued. "We haven't talked in so many years.." I stopped her and relaxed a little.

So this wasn't a trap. Renee just missed me. I missed her too.

I welcomed her and hugged her. I regretted that move.

For a second I forgot who I was and what she was also. She smelled so good. Her scent made my throat burn with thirst. I didn't know if I could control myself. I had to try. She was my own mother. I couldn't kill her.

'She is not food, she is famly', 'she is not food, she is family', I kept repeating over and over in my mind. I let go of her slowly, not wanting to hurt her. I hoped she didn't notice how cold I was, or how hard...

I showed her around mine and Edward's cottage. I guess she really loved it. She complimented on everything. Only Renee..

"So where is Edward?" she asked suddenly.

"He's in the kitchen. We just ate so he's cleaning up", I lied smoothly. I was going to show her the kitchen and Edward when I stopped in my tracks.

I realized Renesmee was in there. I couldn't just show her her grandchild that is suppose to be 5 years old but looks 15.. I pictured that in my head:

'Mom, this ismy daughter. Yes, she is 15 today...Well she is actually 5 years old but physically and mentally she is 15.' Then Renee had a heart attack and collapsed to the floor..

I ended that thought immediately. I couldn't let that happen. She couldn't know about Renesmee...Well not the whole truth anyways.

I need to have a talk with Renee first. I needed to lie about Renesmee. I was so worried about her mostly. Would she be able to control her thirst? I quickly moved my shield and told Edward everything.

'Edward. Renee is here. I am trying to control my thirst. She smells way better than Charlie. I have to explain to her about Renesmee. We have to lie about her. I hate doing this but we have to. Tell her to do her best to control her thirst. Make her stay in the kitchen until I'm ready for her to come.' I thought.
