The Twilight Saga :The Violet Hour

Chapter 35

"Ness hurry up will you?"I screamed at the bottom of the stairs .

"God why does she takes so long?"I muttered more to myself but of course Alice heard me.

"You know Bella,some of us actually make an effort to doll up"

"Hey what's that supposed to mean ?Do I look that bad?"I asked and looked down at my skinny jeans and plain white tank top .Of course everything was created by a famous designer(Alice wouldn't let us wear anything else) but it was a simple outfit none the less .

"You look beautiful .You always do"Edward said from behind me and wrapped me in his arms.

Alice rolled her eyes but if I could blush I would have.Huh another plus in the book of.'the perks of being a vampire'

"But maybe you should take a jacket.It will be weird if you show up in that sleeveless top while it's freezing outside ,well at least for the humans."He said and glanced worriedly at the top of the stairs where Renesmee was getting ready.

I chuckled slightly .He was such a concerned father sometimes but so was a worried mom and that's why I left Edward's warm embrace to go check on Nessie.

I flew up the stairs and took a right turn towards Edward's old bedroom that was now Nessie's for the times she wanted some privacy from our cottage life.

I hesitated before entering the room because of the memories that room gave me.They were all blury now.After 85 years of being a vampire ,human memories started to fade away but I can just recall the first time I was here to meet Edward's family ...it seems it was only yesterday ...

I shook my head and knocked on the door.

"Come in mom" my daughter's melodic voice came a second later.Renesmee might be half human but she was a vampire alright .She could smell me all the way across a field .

I pushed the door open and peeked in.Nessie was sitting at the bottom of her king size bed staring at her reflection in the mirror.

she was so so beautiful.After all this time it never stopped to shock me.

She had reached full maturity years ago.Her body was slim and soft at the right places but strong and powerful as well.Her long bronze hair cascading down her back beyond her waist . And her heartshaped face was the face of an archangel.

Her skin was as flawless and pale as a vampire's but the blush at her cheeks made her look anything but.

And then there were those chocolate brown eyes and full pink lips.

Of course she was gorgeous.She was her father's  daughter after all.But as I looked at her I could see me in there somewhere too.In her eyes and the sape of her face and lips,that was all me.And I was glad.It suited her perfectly.

But then I really looked at her and only then I saw the wetness around her eyes.

"Oh baby what's wrong?"I asked and took her in my arms.We may look the same age but she is my baby after all.

Renesmee touched my cheek and her unspoken question rung clear in my mind. 

can you shield us?

That was a technic she and I had mastered over the years when we wanted to talk alone without Edward or anyone else for that matter overhearing our conversation.

I nodded and I closed my eyes in concentration trying to get a feel of my shield

there

I thought and expanded it over us
