Unknown POV:

I watched her as she lays on the bed, I watched how it was becoming harder and harder for her to breath. Marie was on the other side of the bed, holding our mother's hand. She was talking to her, telling her how famous she was. Marie told mother all of her achievements, her awards, and her books. You see, my mother was an author. She was one of a kind. She wrote books about how life is unfair and cruel. But not all of her stories were about life, she also wrote romantic novels, although they never got their happy ending. My mother was an incredible mother, she did a lot for us. In spite of the fact that we didn't have the same blood, she didn't care. She loved us more than life itself. Marie and I were about two months old when mother adopted us, she adopted twins. No one knew why she didn't get married or had kids of her own. 

I was around 14 or 15 years old when I asked her a question that everyone would ask her. I asked her why she never got married or why didn't she ever get with someone. I was expecting the same answer she gave to everyone else, but instead, she pulled me close and made me sit on her lap. She stared at me and an expression that I never saw before. She wasn't the happy mother I always saw but this person, this new person right in front of me was a broken woman. She looked at me, straight in the eyes and said.

"Charlotte, I'm going to tell you something that I never told anyone. You see, I had someone before. I loved him with all my heart and I would have done anything for him. I wanted to stay with him, to spend forever with him, but life doesn't work that way. Things happened along the way and we got separated. The reason why I am not married because I cannot be with someone and love another. I cannot fake an emotion that I once felt so passionate about. To this day I love him with the same passion I once did. But one day we'll be together just as we hoped to be. But for right now, we must stay separated until the day comes when we reunite." And since that day I never asked again. Since that day I saw my mother in a new light. I began to see the woman she hid behind the mask she always wears. I saw how broken and tired she looked. I saw the pain she held back from us. I began to see the tear marks that she left behind whenever she came out of her room. I began to see her for her, something I am sure she never let anyone else see.

Third Person's POV:

After Jacob has successfully distracted Sam and his pack so the Cullens can go out and hunt. Jacob and Edward come back inside the living room and saw Alice and Rosalie with Bella. Rosalie looks up and walks over to them. They began talking about the babies name Bella picked out. Rosalie wasn't on board but it wasn't up to her. Bella told them the boys name and they somewhat liked it. Then when the girl's name was said. They weren't too sure about it.

"I was playing around with our mom's names. Renée and Esme. And I was thinking... Renesmee" Bella said. It was quiet in the room before Jacob spoke.

"Renesmee," he said slowly turning to Edward.

"Too weird?" Bella asked and Jacob turns to her.

"Um..." he didn't know what to say.

"No, that's not too weird. It's beautiful and it's unique. Which certainly fits the situation. I like Renesmee" Edward said and Bella smiles.

"But I would have thought you would name your girl after Annie," Jacob said making them frown.

"Annie's coming back. She'll want her own name back" Bella said. She goes to take a drink of blood but suddenly, he back breaks and falls to the floor. Edward quickly grabs Bella and takes her into the makeshift hospital room. The others followed with Alice on the phone.
