Chapter Forty-Eight:
We're planning a June wedding

It was strange, Renesmee's growth was supernatural, nay she was supernatural. She spent mere days as an infant and even less as a toddler. Carlisle tracked her height daily, trying to find a pattern or at least a prediction of when her rapid growth would stop, if it would stop. At the moment, Carlisle had tracked that Renesmee would die at the age of fifteen.

The internet provided no results in anything that related to Renesmee's condition, causing the coven to drive themselves into a corner with no hope of digging their way out.

Renesmee looked about six although she was only a few months old. Bella had decided to stop searching for answers and just to spend time with her daughter. She had taken Renesmee out to hunt with Jacob, Andi and Luci.

"Come on," said Nessie impatiently, wanting her Auntie Andi to catch snowflakes with her, "Hurry!"

"Okay, I am coming, Dear." Andi shot a look at Luci who just chuckled and waved in return. Turing to her sister, Lucinda began to talk about her plans.

"We're planning a June wedding," Lucinda brushed her hair behind her ear, "maybe the twentieth or something. Whatever makes Jasper happy."

"June? I would have thought you wouldn't last that long before marrying him."

"I don't care about marriage. It's a human convention after all. But I don't understand."

"Understand what?"

Luci sighed, watching Andi and Jacob tease Renesmee as she jumped inhumanly high to catch snowflakes, "Why he keeps choosing me. Bella?"

"Yeah-" Bella replied but she was silenced by Lucinda's point towards the mountains where they saw a blonde vampire; Irina.

"Irina. Irina!" Bella called, knowing that she could hear her, even though she was so far away.

"You gonna go after her?" Luci muttered, "You go. I'll take Nessie home. Follow her. Quick!"

"Thanks." Bella was gone, and as promised Nessie was taken back to the house, leaving Lucinda to explain what had happened.

Nessie was practicing the piano by playing a song very familiar to the coven; Bella's lullaby. She mirrored the keys her father played, distracting her from the conversation her adoptive aunts, uncles and grandparents were discussing. It didn't take long for Bella to return home and add to the conversation.

"She's family," Carlisle said as he wrapped a comforting arm around his wife as Esme snuggled closed, "She'll come around."

"I wouldn't be too sure about that," Nadine respond with the same amount of idleness in her voice as Carlisle had, "Vampires can't really play 'happy families' that well. I have learnt that lessons too many times in my lifetime. Too many times."

"Andi, relax. We will call the Denali coven tomorrow and see if we can talk to Irina then. If not, then we will worry. But for tonight, my dearest, tonight just enjoy yourself."

"You deserve it." Rosalie added from the doorway.
