"Ohhh so where is my darling uh…Renesmee?"

Everyone else, including me froze except Edward who looked grave.

Chapter 3. Irresistible

After two more minutes, Renee's car came to a halt in front of the Cullen house. My house. A sense of déjà vu hit me. Almost a year ago, the same thing had happened with Charlie. The same anxiety. The same nervousness. Everyone in the room drifted off to various locations so that we could look normal. Edward sat beside me on the sofa and gave my hand a reassuring squeeze. Now Renee was climbing the porch stairs and I could clearly hear the click click of her sharp heels against the wooden steps. She paused in front of the door and took a deep breath. I could hear her heart. It was pounding twice the normal rate. She was very excited.

After five more second she finally rang the bell. Esme walked towards the door at human pace and gave me a reassuring smile before opening the door.

I nodded back as she opened the door.

Renee stood there, the same as ever with big blue eyes and an excited smile painted on her face. She squealed like a small child when she saw Esme and hugged her. Esme was clearly surprised but hugged her back and smiled at her.

"Oh my god Esme it's been so long. And surprise!" She laughed " Where is my darling Bella?"

I sank down lower into the sofa as everyone in the family came down and greeted her. Renee shook Carlisle's hands and gave a hug to both Rosalie and Alice.

She turned around to Rosalie and exclaimed with surprise "Wow Rose you look even more gorgeous than the last time I saw you!"

That was enough to please Rosalie and she cracked a breathtaking smile and thanked her.

Then Renee asked again, looking around "Where is Bella?"

I couldn't hide anymore. I took a deep breath and stood up. "I am here, mom."

As I said that I took a breath and Renee's scent hit me like a baseball bat on my face.

Charlie's scent was nothing compared to Renee. My expression changed as my vampire instincts kicked in. Fortunately, I was standing behind Edward so my face was partially hidden from Renee. Edward sensed my discomfort and whispered to me "Hold your breath, Bella."

I nodded and swallowed hard. Venom was pooling into my mouth. Renee rushed towards me and everyone in the room stiffened. I quickly composed myself and stopped breathing. Renee stopped five feet away from me and her jaw went slack with surprise and shock.

She stared at me and then at Edward with surprise. I took a cautious step forward and whispered, trying to make my voice rough. "Hi mom"

She still stared at me "Bella? You look wonderful honey.."

A wondrous smile spread on her face and she rushed forward to hug both me and Edward at the same time. As I hugged her back I clenched my jaw shut tightly.

After an eternity she released us both and held me at an arms distance "Let me guess…Alice forced you into this pretty dress?"

I nodded and laughed a little "Yeah she forced me into it" My air supply was quickly depleting.

Alice skipped over to us "Well Bella doesn't know how beautiful she is. I have to keep reminding that to her.

I rolled my eyes as my mother laughed along with Alice.
