I don't own Twilight.

Bella POV

Ever since my eighteenth birthday, my entire life had changed. Not just because Edward left me, which still broke my heart to even think about it, a few events would change my life forever.

The night before my eighteenth birthday, Edward has asked what I wanted for my birthday. I told him I wanted immortality, and for him to sleep with me. I don't know how possible, but he agreed to give me the latter.

The very next night, he brought me to his house for my birthday party. That was when Jasper attacked me. Edward soon left me.

About one month after he left, I realized I was pregnant. I couldn't bear to not have my baby, knowing half of him or her was Edward. I knew by the way some movements felt, that this would be a life or death matter. I knew the only way I would survive this would for someone to give me immortality. I had tried calling Alice- desperate for any help I could find, but her phone number had been disconnected. I told Charlie everything, except for the exact word- vampire- since I had a difficult time saying it. He agreed to let me go, with the promise I would stay in touch. So I did the only thing I could think of.

I went to Denali. I located Tanya's coven. They were the only other vegetarian vampires I could think of besides the Cullens. I told Tanya the entire story, explaining absolutely everything, willing to beg for her help. She agreed right away and had even convinced everyone else in her family to help. I was feeding off of blood, which they were able to buy. I don't know where they managed to buy it, but I figured I was better off not asking. Even Irina was on my side. We just had one rule that we couldn't mention Laurent.

I still saw Jacob Black, who I had befriended before I found out I was pregnant. He came up to visit quite often, when the pack would be fine without him. They had been able to take down Victoria and Laurent, who had come back to avenge James. At first Tanya's family wasn't fond of him or the smell, but I convinced them. He had come up to visit the day Renesmee was born.

She was born through a quite painful birth, but I don't remember it well. I was passed out for a good portion of it, plus my human memories aren't as strong. Tanya and Jacob worked together to keep my alive, Tanya forcing as much venom into my body that she could. The fire was the most painful thing I had ever felt. I couldn't believe that was the price I had to pay to get my wishes fulfilled.

I was now a vampire. Jacob had imprinted on Renesmee, which I was unhappy about at the beginning. After her explained that he only wanted her happy and healthy, I was fine with it. He had come up with the nickname Nessie, which I wasn't fond of at the beginning. After a few months of everyone calling her that, I gave in. I alternated between that and Renesmee. I also found out I had a power- a shield that I could expand out of me to block me and anyone else's mental powers.

I was pretty happy with my life. I had a beautiful daughter who looked very much like Edward. She had my human chocolate eyes, but almost everything else was Edward's. She had blood running through her veins, and she slept, but other than that, she had all the qualities of a vampire. Renesmee was named after her two grandmothers- Renee and Esme. Even though I wasn't in contact with Esme, I still loved her like a mother. Nessie didn't understand her life, so I sat her down and explained. She took it fairly well. Renesmee and I lived with the Denali coven, although we don't consider ourselves members of it. My true home is in Forks, and Tanya's family knows that.

The only thing missing from my life was Edward. I still loved him with all of my heart. I still wanted to be with him, and I wanted him a part of Nessie's life. She asked me endless questions about him, which I gratefully answered. Some questions were harder to answer than others, but I tried my best. She wanted to know him, and had begged to meet him. That brought on the strongest waves of emotion.

"You're home early!" Tanya screamed, shaking me out of my thoughts. I was driving home from the mall with Nessie. Her ever changing height and size required plenty of new clothes. I actually grew to not hating shopping too much. I could never stop myself from thinking of Alice when we were at the mall.

I cut the engine and got out of the car. I pulled Nessie out of her seat in the back and carried her up to where Tanya was waiting on the porch. Tanya gave both of us a kiss on the cheek.

"I thought you were going to be at the mall for a while?" Tanya looked slightly nervous, so I immediately knew something was up.

"We found what we needed fairly quickly." I told her, pointing to the two white bags in the passenger seat of the car.

"Well, do you want to maybe go out for a little bit? I heard there is an awesome playground in one of the nearby towns that Nessie would love?" Her voice was very unsure as she glanced back down the hallway, biting her lip. What was up with her? She knew Nessie preferred reading and playing music than playing on playgrounds. She was far more advanced in her mind than her size.

"What is going on, Tanya?" I hissed. "What are you hiding from me?" Her eyes wandered away for a moment, paused on something, and then wandered back to me. I turned around and almost collapsed at the sight before me.

It was the Volvo. Edward's Volvo. It had the exact same shiny silver outside, the black leather seats. Everything about it was the exact same. I knew absolutely nothing about cars, but I knew everything about that car. I knew the horsepower, the engine, the style of seats, the brand of steering wheel! Anything you could think of for that car, I probably knew. I also knew that car could only mean one thing.

The Cullens were here. Edward was here.

I turned around, horror in my eyes. I was trembling, shaking Nessie along with me. She placed her hand against my cheek, her special gift for telling things. She wanted to know what was wrong, what the pretty silver car meant. I was frozen and couldn't answer her. I could tell everyone in the other room was silent, listening to our conversation. I quickly threw my shield around Tanya and Renesmee, not wanting to let Edward hear any of our thoughts.

"I'm sorry! They were in the area and stopped by for a surprise visit! I didn't tell them anything! I have been blocking my thoughts the entire time they have been here!" She hastily whispered to me. I closed my eyes and sunk down along the side of the house. I pulled Renesmee onto my lap and hid my face in her hair.

"Tanya, what's wrong with Mommy?" Renesmee said in her beautiful high soprano. She didn't like to talk much, but couldn't reach Tanya. Tanya shook her head.

"I didn't plan this, I swear. It just happened. I thought that you would've been gone longer and I would've been able to make them leave before you got back. But I think it's time." I looked up then staring her in the eyes. "I think it's time you told them." She looked at Nessie when she said that.

"Have her meet her dad?" I mouthed to Tanya, making no sound. She nodded. I sighed. "It's time." Tanya took my hand and pulled me up. And we walked down the hallway to meet my fate.
