;Move your hands�察�too。 Brush your hair back or pretend to scratch something�察─�Jasper said。
;I said Esme; Alice complained as she returned。 ;You'll overwhelm her。;
;No�察�I think I got it all�察─�I said。 ;Sit�察�look around�察�blink�察�fidget。;
;Right�察─�Esme approved。 She hugged my shoulders。
Jasper frowned。 ;You'll be holding your breath as much as possible�察�but you need to move your
shoulders a little to make it /oo/clike you're breathing。;
I inhaled once and then nodded again。

Edward hugged me on my free side。 ;You can do this�察─�he repeated�察�murmuring the encouragement in
my ear。
;Two minutes�察─�Alice said。 ;Maybe you should start out already on the couch。 You've been sick�察�after
all。 That way he won't have to see you move right at first。;
Alice pulled me to the sofa。 I tried to move slowly�察�to make my limbs more clumsy。 She rolled her eyes�察�
so I must not have been doing a good job。
;Jacob�察�I need Renesmee�察─�I said。
Jacob frowned�察�unmoving。
Alice shook her head。 ;Bella�察�that doesn't help me see。;
;But I need her。 She keeps me calm。'7The edge of panic in my voice was unmistakable。
;Fine�察─�Alice groaned。 ;Hold her as still as you can and I'll try to see around her。; She sighed wearily�察�
like she'd been asked to work overtime on a holiday。 Jacob sighed�察�too�察�but brought Renesmee to me�察�
and then retreated quickly from Alice's glare。
Edward took a seat beside me and put his arms around Renesmee and me。 He leaned forward and
looked Renesmee very seriously in the eyes。
;Renesmee�察�someone special is coming to see you and your mother�察─�he said in a solemn voice�察�as if he
expected her to understand every word。 Did she�拭�She looked back at him with clear�察�grave eyes。 ;But
he's not like us�察�or even like Jacob。 We have to be very careful with him。 You shouldn't tell him things the
way you tell us。;
Renesmee touched his face。
;Exactly�察─�he said。 ;And he's going to make you thirsty。 But you mustn't bite him。 He won't heal like
Jacob。;
;Can she understand you�拭─�I whispered。
;She understands。 You'll be careful�察�won't you�察�Renesmee�拭�You'll help us�拭─�
Renesmee touched him again。
;No�察�I don't care if you bite Jacob。 That's fine。;
Jacob chuckled。
;Maybe you should leave�察�Jacob�察─�Edward said coldly�察�glaring in his direction。 Edward hadn't forgiven
Jacob�察�because he knew that no matter what happened now�察�I was going to be hurting。 But I'd take the
burn happily if that were the worst thing I'd face tonight。
;I told Charlie I'd be here�察─�Jacob said。 ;He needs the moral support。;
;Moral support�察─�Edward scoffed。 ;As far as Charlie knows�察�you're the most repulsive monster of us all。;

;Repulsive�拭─�Jake protested�察�and then he laughed quietly to himself。
I heard the tires turn off the highway onto the quiet�察�damp earth of the Cullens' drive�察�and my breathing
spiked again。 My heart ought to have been hammering。 It made me anxious that my body didn't have the
right reactions。
I concentrated on the steady thrumming of Renesmee's heart to calm myself。 It worked pretty quickly。
;Well done�察�Bella�察─�Jasper whispered in approval。
Edward tightened his arm over my shoulders。
;You're sure�拭─�I asked him。
;Positive。 You can do anything; He smiled and kissed me。
It wasn't precisely a peck on the lips�察�and my wild vampiric reactions took me off guard yet again。
Edward's lips were like a shot of some addictive chemical straight into my nervous system。 I was instantly
craving more。 It took all my concentration to remember the baby in my arms。
Jasper felt my mood change。 ;Er�察�Edward�察�you might not want to distract her like that right now。 She
needs to be
able to focus。;
Edward pulled away。 ;Oops�察─�he said。
I laughed。 That had been my line from the very beginning�察�from the very first kiss。
;Later�察─�I said�察�and anticipation curled my stomach into a ball。
;Focus�察�Bella�察─�Jasper urged。
;Right。; i pushed the trembly feelings away。 Charlie�察�that was the main thing now。 Keep Charlie safe
today。 We would have all night___
;Bella。;
;Sorry�察�Jasper。;
Emmett laughed。
The sound of Charlie's cruiser got closer and closer。 The second of levity passed�察�and everyone was still。
I crossed my legs and practiced my blinks。
The car pulled in front of the house and idled for a few seconds。 I wondered if Charlie was as nervous
as I was。 Then the engine cut off�察�and a door slammed。 Three steps across the grass�察�and then eight
echoing thuds against the wooden stairs。 Four more echoing footsteps across the porch。 Then silence。
Charlie took two deep breaths。

Knock�察�knock�察�knock。
I inhaled for what might be the last time。 Renesmee nestled deeper into my arms�察�hiding her face in my
hair。
Carlisle answered the door。 His stressed expression changed to one of welcome�察�like switching the
channel on the TV。
;Hello�察�Charlie�察─�he said�察�looking appropriately abashed。 After all�察�we were supposed to be in Atlanta at
the Center for Disease Control。 Charlie knew he'd been lied to。
;Carlisle�察─�Charlie greeted him stiffly。 ;Where's Bella�拭─�
;Right here�察�Dad。;
Ugh� �My voice was so wrong。 Plus�察�I'd used up some of my air supply。 I gulped in a quick refill�察�glad
that Charlie's scent had not saturated the room yet。
Charlie's blank expression told me how off my voice was。 His eyes zeroed in on me and widened。
I read the emotions as they scrolled across his face。
Shock。 Disbelief。 Pain。 Loss。 Fear。 Anger。 Suspicion。 More pain。
I bit my lip。 It felt funny。 My new teeth were sharper against my granite skin than my human teeth had
been against my soft human lips。
;Is that you�察�Bella�拭─�he whispered。
;Yep。; I winced at my wind´chime voice。 ;Hi�察�Dad。;
He took a deep breath to steady himself。
;Hey�察�Charlie�察─�Jacob greeted him from the corner。 ;How're things�拭─�
Charlie glowered at Jacob once�察�shuddered at a memory�察�and then stared at me again。
Slowly�察�Charlie walked across the room until he was a few feet away from me。 He darted an accusing
glare at Edward�察�and then his eyes flickered back to me。 The warmth of his body heat beat against me
with each pulse of his heart。
;Bella�拭─�heasked again。
I spoke in a lower voice�察�trying to keep the ring out of it。;It's really me。;
His jaw locked。
;I'm sorry�察�Dad�察─�I said。
;Are you okay�拭─�he demanded。

;Really and truly great�察─�I promised。 ;Healthy as a horse。;
That was it for my oxygen。
;Jake told me this was。。。 necessary。 That you were dying。; He said the words like he didn't believe them
one bit。
I steeled myself�察�focused on Renesmee's warm weight�察�leaned into Edward for support�察�and took a deep
breath。
Charlie's scent was a fistful of flames�察�punching straight down my throat。 But it was so much more than
pain。 It was a hot stabbing of desire�察�too。 Charlie smelled more delicious than anything I'd ever imagined。
As appealing as the anonymous hikers had been on the hunt�察�Charlie was doubly tempting。 And he was
just a few feet away�察�leaking mouthwatering heat and moisture into the dry air。
But I wasn't hunting now。 And this was my father。
Edward squeezed my shoulders sympathetically�察�and Jacob shot an apologetic glance at me across the
room。
I tried to collect myself and ignore the pain and longing of the thirst。 Charlie was waiting for my answer。
;Jacob was telling you the truth。;
;That makes one of you�察─�Charlie growled。
I hoped Charlie could see past the changes in my new face to read the remorse there。
Under my hair�察�Renesmee sniffed as Charlie's scent registered with her�察�too。 I tightened my grip on her。
Charlie saw my anxious glance down and followed it。 ;Oh�察─�he said�察�and all the anger fell off his face�察�
leaving only shock behind。 ;This is her。 The orphan Jacob said you're adopting。;
;My niece�察─�Edward lied smoothly。 He must have decided that the resemblance between Renesmee and
him was too pronounced to be ignored。 Best to claim they were related from the beginning。
;I thought you'd lost your family�察─�Charlie said�察�accusation returning to his voice。
;I lost my parents。 My older brother was adopted�察�like me。 I never saw him after that。 But the courts
located me when he and his wife died in a car accident�察�leaving their only child without any other family。;
Edward was so good at this。 His voice was even�察�with just the right amount of innocence。 I needed
practice so that I could do that。
Renesmee peeked out from under my hair�察�sniffing again。 She glanced shyly at Charlie from under her
long lashes�察�then hid again。
;She's。。。 she's��well�察�she's a beauty。;
;Yes�察─�Edward agreed。

;Kind of a big responsibility�察�though。 You two are just getting started。;
;What else could we do�拭─�Edward brushed his fingers lightly over her cheek。 I saw him touch her lips for
just a moment!a reminder。 ;Would you have refused her�拭─�
;Hmph。 Well。; Heshook his head absently。 ;Jake says you call her Nessie�拭─�
;No�察�we don't�察─�I said�察�my voice too sharp and piercing。 ;Her name is Renesmee。;
Charlie refocused on me。 ;How do you feel about this�拭�Maybe Carlisle and Esme could!;
