A soft breeze blew through the room, lightly shaking the chandelier that hung above the Cullens. Bella raised her head, watching the diamonds sway in the breeze. She bit her lip and looked up at Edward, who was staring off into space. Bella stood up and walked over to the large window and crossed her arms.

"I can't do this," she mumbled. "I can't sit around waiting and waiting." Alice stood up and advanced towards Bella.

"It's the only thing we can do." Alice said.

"Surely we are capable of something," Emmett agreed. Rosalie shrugged.

"I can call Tanya," Rosalie suggested, moving her blonde hair out of her face.

"Love, there's not that much we can do," Edward stated, pinching the bridge of his nose. "We can't bring everyone here for a battle; we don't know when the Volturi plan to attack." Edward glanced at Alice and she sighed.

"I wish I could tell you what I see, but it's fuzzy and I can't determine anything," She said. "It's like someone is blocking my visions, which is strange, because the only thing that blocks my visions are the mutts and Bella's shield. Unless they have found another way to block me out..." Alice concluded.

"What if they have?" Bella proceeded. Everyone looked at her and she sighed. "What if Aro's blocking us out on purpose?"

Edward shook his head. "I don't know any vampire that is capable of shielding more than a hundred vampires. It would be impossible."

"What if it's not a vampire?" Bella argued. The rest of the Cullens stared at her with wide eyes.

"She could be right," Jasper said, cutting the silence.

"Let us discuss this later," Edward mumbled. Bella raised her eyebrows but heard what he heard. Renesmee and the dog had returned from La Push, and were about to enter the house.

Bella was hit by Renesmee's sweet aroma, causing her to turn. The little girl ran inside and walked up to her mother, a huge smile on her face. Bella bent down to Renesmee's level and gently took Renesmee's hand placing it on her pale cheek. Images of sandwiches, sand, a little girl and wolves flashed in Bella's mind. Bella chuckled.

"I'm glad you had fun," Bella said, as she unzipped Renesmee's sweater. Renesmee pulled her arm out of the sleeves and Bella pulled the sweater off. Renesmee smiled cutely and ran up to Rosalie and Emmett. Edward walked up to Bella and grabbed her hand, intertwining their fingers.

Bella's eyes flickered to Edward's, and they both held the gaze. "I want to show you something," Edward stated, flashing Bella's favorite smile.

Edward pulled Bella outside and they proceeded into the forest. "Where are we going?" Bella inquired, observing her surroundings.

"It's a surprise," Edward said and pecked Bella on the cheek. "You will love it."

"I hate surprises," Bella grumbled. Edward chuckled.

"Close your eyes," Edward whispered, his lips touching Bella's ear. Bella obeyed and shut her eyes, as Edward led her further into the woods. She inhaled slowly, and found herself smelling the sweet scent of flowers. "Open your eyes."

Bella's eyes flew open, trying to figure out where they were. They were standing in a small meadow, that was lavish with light purple flowers and pink. The flowers were scattered across the matted grass. The trees didn't block the sun, causing the meadow to be filled with sunlight. Bella reached out her hand in the ray of sunlight. Her skin sparkled like diamonds.

"Beautiful," Edward mumbled, staring at Bella. She turned towards Edward and placed her hands around his neck.

"Where are we?" Bella asked.

"I found this place awhile ago, when I was hunting. But from now on, this is our meadow."

"It's perfect," she mumbled. Edward looked at Bella with his golden eyes and crooked smile. "Stop it," she said playfully. Edward raised his eyebrows. "Just one look from you make my insides melt."

Edward raised his thumb, and traced her bottom lip. "Kiss me," Bella whispered. He crashed his sweet lips against hers, their lips tangling on to each other. Edward exhaled, sending a minty fresh breeze into Bella's mouth. His fingers traced every curve on her hips, while Bella stroked the nape of his neck with her thumb nail, causing Edward to shiver.

The kiss grew more intense, as their tongues battled for dominance. Bella playfully pushed Edward down into the grass. She crawled up onto him and played with his shirt collar as he placed soft kisses on her neck. Bella clutched Edward's shirt and raised it, pulling it past his head. She pecked his shoulders with soft, tender kisses. Her fingers lightly traced his abdomen, while her eyes stared at his beautiful body.

Edward chuckled. "You never cease to amaze me," he said as Bella laid her head on his chest. He slowly caressed her hair, her eyelashes fluttering against his cold skin. His other arm wrapped around her waist, and the two stayed like that as time slowly passed by.

Bella slowly raised her head, looking at the sky. "We should go," she admitted. Edward inclined his head. The sun was peeking behind the mountains, and the sky was full of orange and pink. He nodded his head and slowly sat up, retreiving his shirt from behind Bella. She stood up as Edward pulled his shirt back on.

"Let's go," he said, wrapping his right arm around Bella's waist.

The two arrived at the house in less than three minutes. They ambled into the house, trying to figure out where Renesmee was. A huge thump came from upstairs, causing Bella and Edward to look up. They exchanged glances and ran upstairs, where the noise was emitting from. A pillow flew out from Renesmee's room, landing in front of Bella's feet. She picked the pillow up and walked into Renesmee's room, Edward not far behind her.

Renesmee was standing on the bed, holding up one of her pillows to defend herself from Emmett, who was holding two pillows, and hitting her with them, gently. Giggles erupted from the little girl's mouth as she hit Emmett hard on the head. He dropped the pillow and turned his head looking at Edward and Bella.

"Rough housing before bed? Really Emmett?" Bella questioned, her arms crossed against her chest.

"I'm the fun uncle!" he exclaimed.

"You can be the fun uncle, just not before bed time," Edward said. Edward and Bella took a step away from the doorway, letting Emmett exit the room. Renesmee plopped down on the bed, and scrambled under the plump covers.Her parents walked up to her and smiled.

Edward brushed a piece of hair away from her face, and planted a kiss on Renesmee's forehead. "Goodnight Angel," he said with a smile.

"Goodnight Daddy. I love you," the little girl replied.

"I love you more." Edward looked at Bella. "I'll be downstairs," he mumbled. Bella nodded and watched as he left the room. She placed herself onto Renesmee's bed, and Renesmee moved over, making room for her mom.

"Can you read to me, Momma?" she asked.

"Sure." Bella turned her body over and retrieved Wuthering Heights from her side table. "Chapter two," Bella began. The little girl closed her eyes, imagining all the characters and scenes, as her mother continued reading with a soft voice. The only sounds in the room were Bella's voice, Renesmee's breathing and the constant flipping of pages. Bella finished the chapter and peeked behind the book. Renesmee had her hands tucked under her pillow, and her eyes were closed.

Bella shifted in the bed, careful to not wake the sleeping girl. She placed the book on the bed side table and clicked the lamp off. She was just about to get up and walk out, when she heard Renesmee's sleepy voice. "Will you stay with me, Mom?"

"Of course." Bella climbed back into the bed and under the covers. The little girl curled up against Bella's chest. Bella's arm wrapped around Renesmee's shoulders. She could feel the heat that Renesmee was giving off against her cold skin. It was a nice change. Warm breaths came out of the little girl's mouth landing on on Bella's cheeks. Her heartbeat thumped against Bella's chest. Bella smiled down at Renesmee, who was smiling in her sleep.

An hour had passed, and Bella was still holding Renesmee in her arms. To pass the time, she had counted Renesmee's heartbeats and breaths. 4,853 breaths and 942 beats in the last hour. Renesmee's heartbeat started to speed up and she was taking deeper breaths. Her eyebrows were creased and her smile had now turned into a frown. She was having a nightmare.

Edward must've heard the increase in her heart, because he slid past the door quietly. He looked at Bella with a worried expression as Renesmee whimpered in her sleep. Bella lifted up Renesmee's hand and placed it on her neck.

It was the same dream as before. But this time, the dream lasted longer.

Renesmee stood in front of the three man in black cloaks, with red eyes and tear stained cheeks.

'"Take her away," a voice called. It was Aro's voice. Hands wrapped around Renesmee's biceps, crushing her bones. Renesmee cried out in pain and screamed at the top of her lungs. The hands dragged her away from the pile of bodies. She struggled in the man's grip, and tried to reach her family.

"Nessie, stop." Renesmee looked up and saw Jacob.

"JACOB!" she shouted.

"There is nothing you can do about it," He said, staring at Renesmee. Her lip quivered.

"THEY CAN'T BE DEAD!" she screamed.

"Not yet. But you know at the end of this, they will be gone," he said with a smirk.

"They would never leave me!" she cried out.

"Oh but they will. They say they're trying to protect you, but their wrong, Ness. Their afraid of what a hideous creature you are. Why would your parents want to raise a demon?"

Tears flowed down Renesmee's cheek as she gasped for breath. "They wouldn't do that. They wouldn't do that!" She repeated over and over again. Jacob chuckled.

"You're just a stupid accident, Ness. You aren't loved. You are a disgrace to your family."

He turned his head and pointed. It was Bella and Edward. They were looking down at a sleeping Renesmee. "Kill her," Bella begged. "Kill her so we can have eternity together without her."

The scene changed to Esme and Carlisle. "She is a disgusting demon!" Esme screeched, and she scrubbed the floors ferociously.

"We must dispose of her!" Carlisle yelled. "She is a threat to my family!"

Alice and Jasper sat outside, with disgusted looks. " Renesmee shouldn't have been born," Alice sneered and Jasper nodded his head.

"She is a waste of our time and air," he agreed.

Rosalie and Emmett were talking quietly to each other. "Get rid of her, Rose," Emmett pleaded.

The scene developed and a woman sat in a rocking chair looking out of the window. She rubbed her huge and bruised belly. Bella couldn't see the woman's face, but she guessed it was Nora.

Nora/ The woman raised a dagger up into the air and thrusted it into her belly. Blood spilled out of the cut and the woman choked on blood.

"I rather die then raise this abomination," She choked. The woman fell to the ground and raised the dagger once more, and stabbed her heart.

Jacob smirked at the crying Renesmee. "Don't you get it, Ness? You are the reason that everyone's dead. Give up kid. There's no point in fighting."

Renesmee went numb with pain, as tears slowly streaked down her face. Jacob transformed into a huge wolf. His tongue flicked his sharp fangs. Renesmee looked up and the last thing she saw was the wolf's huge teeth.

Bella removed Renesmee's hand from her face, horror stricken. "Is that what she really thinks?" Bella whispered to Edward, trying to conceal the urge to cry. Before Edward could reply, Renesmee jolted up with a scream. Bella wrapped her arms around her daughter, who had tears flowing down her face.

The little girl buried her head into her mother's chest and sobbed. "It was just a nightmare, You're okay," Edward cooed as he held Bella and Renesmee in his arms. Renesmee sniffed.

"Do you hate me?" Renesmee asked, as more tears flew out of her brown eyes. Bella bit her lip, wanting to cry herself.

"Renesmee Carlie Cullen, I have never loved anyone more than you. " Edward said, gritting his teeth. "Everyone loves you. Your mother loves you, Jacob loves you, and everyone else loves you, Renesmee." Bella picked up where Edward left off.

"You are not a disgrace, and don't you ever think like that. You are a gift that all of us were blessed with. No one will ever lay a hand on you and hurt you. Your father and I will make sure of that," Bella said, hissing quietly. Renesmee nodded and sniffed. Bella raised her hand and pushed away her tears with her thumb.

"I know your afraid, angel. What you saw in your nightmare, will never happen, I promise you. We will never leave you nor will we ever stop loving you." She whispered.

"How do I make it go away?" Renesmee asked quietly. "How to I make the bad dreams go away?"

"Think of something happy. You are in control of your dreams. Tell those bad guys to leave, and they will," Edward said. "How about we give it a go?" he smiled weakly and Renesmee laid her head back down.

"Don't leave me, please," She whimpered.

"Never," Bella and Edward said, as they both climbed under the covers. Renesmee curled up beside them both and slowly closed her eyes. Edward reached his hand over and Bella placed her hand in his. He stroked her hand and held it firmly, not wanting to let go. He pursued his lips together and hummed, what Bella guessed was another lullaby.

"I love you," she whispered to Edward.

"As I love you," He replied. He was about to continue humming when a thought crossed his mind. "Don't be afraid love," He said quietly. "We will win this war, one way or another."
