Breaking Dawn-Part 3.

Chapter 1

'Good morning! ' Murmered Edward in my ear.

I turned to see his gorgeous eyes locked on me.

' Sorry, ' I said. ' I didn't mean to get so lost in thought.'

'You're still a young vampire, by my standards. 'Said Edward. His voice never failed to mesmerize me. 'Anyway, I enjoy watching you. '

'You know, ' I said tracing the outline of his full lips. 'I never really understood why I'm so fascinating to you. I still don't. '

'You are the most incredible human being I've ever met. ' He said. His eyes smoldered and I could have stared into them for centuries without getting bored. But we had Renesmee to think about.

'Renesmee will be up soon. ' Said Edward voicing my thoughts.

'At least our daughter gets to sleep. ' I said mockingly.

'Isabella Cullen, 'said Edwar.d. I still had to get used to that name. 'Did you not enjoy last night? '

'Of course Edward Cullen, ' I said standing up on the bed and curtseying. 'I had a most entertaining night. '

Then we both burst out laughing. I sprinted for my huge wardrobe. Alice's doing. She got really upset when I wore the wrong clothes. So I sacrificed some of my time for fashion. I had a lot of it. Time, I mean.

I fished out black leggings, white sweater and black designer, yet practical, boots. I was still new to this fashion thing. So I sometimes got confused. When I went back to the room Edward was already dressed. Khaki pants, light blue button down shirt and messy hair.  Wow. Why would I even bother with fashion when I would look plain next to him anyway?  I shook my head and laughed.

'What's funny?' Asked Edward raising his eyebrows.

'Nothing,' I said. Partly because he hated not being able to read my mind. And partly because no way would I tell him what I thought. He always tried to reassure me that I was the most beautiful creature on earth.  But I knew better because one of my sisters-in-law happened to be Rosalie. Yeah, totally gorgeous Rosalie.

'I hate not being able to read your mind, ' Said Edward looking cross.  Just what I thought a second ago.

'I know,' I said as I turned to close the door of the wardrobe.

'Tell me?' He asked hugging me from behind.

'No,'I said leaning into him.

'Please?' Said Edward.  His breath tickled my ear.

I had to concentrate on the ceiling to keep from getting distracted. He always used this tactic to lure me into telling him what I was thinking. He knew he was irresistible to me.

'Dang it Edward,' I said as he stroked my hair. 'You know I can't resist it when you do that.'

He chuckled and pulled away.

'What? 'I said catching his hand. 'Are you angry? '

'No,'He said smiling. 'Renesmee's up.'

'Oh right, ' I said. I would have blushed if I could.

He chuckled and kissed my hand.

We went to Renesmee's room hand in hand. She was already dressed when we went in. Her growth spurt had slowed but she was still several inches taller than the last time I saw her. Which was yesterday night. She smiled beautifully. I sat next to her on the bed.

'Good morning Nessie,' I used to hate that nickname. But I got used to it with time.

'Good morning mama,' She said.

'What do you want to do today? ' I asked.

'I want to see Jacob.' She said looking out the window.

I looked at Edward and he shrugged. It was no secret that Jacob had imprinted on Nessie. I was sure Renesmee would grow to love him back when the right time came. For now he was her best friend, sibling and guardian angel. I smiled at Nessie.

'Of course,' I said stroking her cheek.'Maybe he's already with the others.'

Renesmee hopped out of bed like a rabbit.

We made our way up to the big house-that was Nessie's name for what the others called home-running at high speed with Nessie clinging to Edward's back like a cute little backpack.

'Jacob!' Nessie jumped into Jacob's arms as soon as she saw him.

'Hello Nessie, ' Jacob hugged her.

'Still too young,' I mouthed at Jacob pretending to be angry.

Jacob rolled his eyes and hugged me with his free arm.

'You stink Jake,' I said wrinkling my nose mockingly.'Like a wet dog.'

'You smell worse Bells.' He said pulling the ends of my hair.

I sprinted to Edward's side and took his hand. Alice came running and began to inspect my fashion choices.

'I see you've made an effort. 'She said mussing my hair. Then she stepped back to look at my hair. 'Now that's perfect. '

'Alice, can't you just leave Bella alone for one day? ' Asked Edward punching Alice on the arm.

'No,' said Alice sticking out her tongue. 'You forget Edward. Being my sister-in-law has its consequences.'

Alice was Edward's favourite sister and my best sister-in-law. I really loved her. Which was why I was making an effort at being skillful in fashion. But I kind of suck at it.

'I'm just beginning to get how bad they are. ' I laughed as Alice tried to grab me.

I went into the house.  Emmet was watching television.

'That house still standing? ' He asked winking.

I threw the remote at him. He caught it and laughed very loudly.

'Emmet?' I asked all sweetly.

'Yes Bella?'He asked instantly on alert.

'I'm still stronger than you.' I said smugly.

He grunted and turned the volume up. He absolutely hated it when I reminded him of the time he lost in a hand fight with me.

Rosalie came down the stairs. The epitome of beauty. She used to hate me. Because I was throwing away humanity just to spend all eternity with Edward. But Renesmee created a bond between us that was so extreme. When I was pregnant with Renesmee Edward wanted to take the foetus out to keep me safe because she kept absorbing all my strength. After some time she even broke my bones. Rosalie knew what it was like to lose motherhood. Knowing that I had a shot at it she helped me. Our little alliance created an understanding between us.

Behind her came Esme and Carlisle. My mother-in-law and father-in-law.

They smiled warmly.

I heard a sound from the kitchen. Seth came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of food. Leah followed close behind. Leah used to hate all vampires. But now she's okay with us.

I felt Edward's arm around my waist.  Alice and Jasper danced-really, there was no other word for it-into the living room. Jacob came carrying Nessie.

I looked around at everyone. My new family. In this small space I had everything I wanted to be happy!
