Renesmee had been pacing in the mountains for over an hour, trying to decide if she really wanted to do this. She had already told Jacob about the pregnancy, so that was out of her mind. Now was the hardest person of all to tell, her father. She wanted to tell him before the rest of the family so that it would not completely take him off-guard. And when he mentioned having father/daughter time, she could think of no better time to get him alone to tell him. Sighing heavily, she pulled out her phone and texted her father.
Daddy, could you meet me in the mountains to hunt? I think we need some father/daughter time.
Sending it, she slid her phone shut and continued to pace. Placing her hand on her belly, she felt slightly nauseated from all the moving. "I know you don't like all this secrecy either," she whispered to the baby. "But we have to keep you secret just a little longer." She continued to pace back and forth, trying to think of anything else but the baby. Finally her mind rested on the one thing she knew would mask her thoughts about it...thinking about Jacob.

Edward was about to send Nessie a text to see if she wanted to met him, when he got a text from her. He took off through the woods to the mountains to meet her. He knew that he needed to talk to her about the issue with Rose and the family. She was the most sensitive in the family. He was thinking about giving her the keys to the house with out the rest of the family, but he would wait to decide until they talked.
As he came up on her in the mountains, he could hear her thinking about Jake and smiled. If anyone every read his mind he was sure it would sound similar. "Hello Nessie, I have missed you." He said as he hugged her and looked at her. He know that there was something on her mind and that she wanted to talk. "What it is, Nessie?" He asked her.

As soon as her father arrived, Renesmee became a little more nervous, but acted naturally as he hugged her and told her that he had missed her. "I missed you too," she said, giving a faint smile. Then she knew her cover had been blown when he asked what was wrong. He knew something was bothering her and that she would have to spill everything now or fear him hearing it in her thoughts. Shuffling her feet, she took a step back and breathed deeply.
"Daddy, I am...I am pregnant," she finally blurted after what seemed like an eternity. "But please don't be mad at Jake; this wasn't his fault really...we were being careful, but I guess it just happened." She knew she was rambling, but at the same time she was just scared. Being pregnant had made her so much more in tune with her feelings...and that was a frightening thing.

Edward listened to Nessie and then burst into laughter. Since they were in the mountains, he didn't hold back. Edward could see the irony in it all. They had conceived her while on their honeymoon and now she was telling him that she was pregnant right after hers. He finally looked at her and stopped laughing. "I was hoping that you and Jake would have a little more time to be a married couple and be alone, than your mother and I did. But, it looks like that is just not in the plans for our family." He said to her, smiling a huge smile. He was going to be a grandpa, he thought and that was all it took for the shock to kick in. He froze as he thought about that. He would eternally be 17 and a grandpa. Edward was frozen in place and knew that he was going to worry, Nessie. He was not upset in the slightest, he was actually happy for her.

Renesmee's eyebrows knit together in confusion as her father began laughing. This was not the reaction she had expected from him at all; in fact, she was stunned that he was laughing. When he had calmed down and explained that he had only wished she and Jacob could have had a little more time alone before they started a family, Renesmee agreed. "We were planning on having more time to ourselves," she said softly. "But I guess that sometimes things don't always go our way, do they?" Wrapping her arms around her father, she knew that she still wanted to be held like a little girl. She would always be his little girl, no matter how old she was, if she was married, or having a baby of her own.
"Daddy, I haven't told Mom yet...do you think her reaction is going to be the same as yours or should I be preparing to hide for a while?" she asked, somewhat jokingly but at the same time a little serious. "Aunt Alice said that everyone would be happy about the baby, so I take her word on it...but you know Mom better than anyone."

Edward finally broke when he felt Nessie's arms wrap around him. He hugged his girl, she would always be his little girl. When she asked him about Bella, he knew that she was a little scared. "Well, Alice would know." He said about what Alice told Nessie. "I think your mom will be happy for you, Nessie. Though with all the children that has been born to the family lately, she has been rather stressed." Edward said to her. That was part of the reason that Edward had wanted to talk to Nessie and knew that now was his turn to say what was on his mind. He pulled away from their hug and sat down on the grown close by, taking Nessie with him.
Edward looked at her and started. "That is why I was just about to call you when I got your text. I need to talk to you, Nessie, about things that happened while you were gone. I know that you don't want to, but just listen to me and think about things." He said to her knowing that he could get through to her but that she really did not want to talk about it.

Listening to her father, Renesmee knew that her mother was under a lot of stress with all that had happened while she was away on her honeymoon. Renesmee had heard everything that had happened with Jasper and Alexandra, including the birth of twins. That had not made her very happy at all. Her entire family had fallen apart while she was gone. She still was not speaking with Rosalie, Jasper, Alexandra, or Veronica...that was something she would not budge on. "I know you are trying to get me to talk to Rosalie and everyone involved on that end of it, but I'm not going to," she adamantly stated. "Daddy, what Jasper did to Alice was wrong...whether it was intentional or not. And Rosalie taking his side simply because they're twins...equally wrong."
Sighing, she looked away for a few moments and picked at a twig of grass poking up from the ground. "It's not fair to Alice that Rosalie is so sharp-tongued with her either. Alice did nothing wrong in going away for a while."

Edward knew that Nessie was hurt by all that was happening in the family, but he also knew that she was not seeing everything clearly. He had spoken to Rosalie and understood where she was coming from. It was not that she agreed with what Jasper did, just that she did not want to lose him. "Nessie, you are looking at things from a different point of view than Rosalie. I have talked to her. She loves Alice, dearly and she wants Alice to be happy. She also loves Jasper and wants him to be happy. She does not agree with what happened but she also understands that it was out of Jasper's control. I am not saying that I condone what happened but I do understand it. I chose to stand beside my twin and Rose did the same. She was just trying to keep her best friend. She did not want him to leave, that was all she was fighting for was for him to stay. It is not that she agreed with him on anything that had to do with what happened. Simply that she wanted him to stay." Edward said to Nessie, hoping that she would see things from Rose point of view and understand that Rose was not trying to hurt Alice.

Renesmee listened patiently to her father explain Rosalie's actions, but she was still angry at her for how things were handled. Part of it she knew was her pregnancy hormones, but the other part was just anger for her aunt's behavior as of late. Renesmee hated being pit in the middle of all her family's problems, forced to choose one side or the other. But, in this case, the choice had been clear. She had chosen Alice. "I still am mad at her for how she handled things," she said, getting up from the ground. "Everyone in the family may have kept this whole thing from me, but I hear people talk about it behind the corner of the house all the time. I've heard the arguements and I'm not naieve. I love my family, but I still side with Alice."
Walking a little ways away, Renesmee was hit with a bout of nausea and clutched her stomach protectively. Backing up, she sat back down on the ground and reassured her father she was fine before he could worry, "It's okay...I'm okay, the baby just doesn't like all the moving too fast."

Edward heard what Nessie said and watched as she got up and then set back down, he know that this was not going to be an easy pregnancy for her. "We should get you back to the house, but I want you to think about something." He said to her as she told him not to worry. "Rose agrees with Alice that what happened was wrong. She does not agree with Bella and I that we tried to make him take responsibility for the children. It is not Alice that she was mad at for Jasper deciding to leave, it was us." Edward said to Nessie in a calm voice as he stood to pick her up and carry her back to the mansion.

Even listening to her father explain that Rosalie was not angry with Alice, but instead her parents for trying to make Jasper take responsibility for his own children, Renesmee was still rather angry with Rosalie. However, she kept her opinion to herself as her father picked her up to carry her back to the mansion. She didn't even try to argue to allow her to walk herself. The nausea was too overpowering. "This baby does not like me moving too fast at all," she said, smiling faintly. "I think it is going to be one handful though."
As they went through the mountain forest toward home, Renesmee thought of all the good things that would come with her baby. For once, there would be another baby in the family conceived out of love, just as Alice had said. Thinking on Alice, she decided to mention what they had predicted about the baby. "Alice and I were thinking that the baby would be due in about five or six months, putting the due date in May or June."

Edward listened as he carried her back to the mansion. He was happy to be a grandpa and knew that he would spoil the child as much as he had spoiled Nessie. "I can wait to hear it." He said to her. He had heard her from the womb as well as the twins but he was not mentioning them. "Nessie, you are my daughter and I love you no matter. I am glad for you and Jake." Edward was entering the house by this time and set her on the couch. "So if it is that long then, the baby is developing slower than you did. That is good for you." Edward said to her.

By the time she reached the couch, Renesmee was glad to have stopped moving altogether. The nausea was subsiding a little bit as she rested on the couch. "Once the baby does get here though, I wonder how fast it will grow compared to me," she wondered out loud. Renesmee had reached her full-grown, adult body by the time she was seven-years-old, so she had to wonder how accelerated her own child would be. It was a weird sensation to think that she was having a baby of her own now. For so long, she had been the baby of the family...that was until Maden came along. And now, she was the one having a baby. Time had flew by so fast that she could hardly believe it was real. "Were you scared before I was born, Dad?" she asked, looking back at her father with innocence and curiousity.

Edward wondered about the growth rate of the baby as well. He knew that Jake had a slightly accelerated growth rate, and Nessie's growth rate was off the charts. "Judging from what we know I would say that the babies growth rate would be somewhere between your and Jake, it will most likely take longer to reach full maturity but not as long as a normal human." Edward said as he looked down at his beautiful daughter. He was always the doting father, no matter how old she got or the fact that she was having a child of her own. When she asked if he was scared before she was born, he half smiled and half frowned. "I was terrified." He admitted honestly.

Renesmee giggled, "You, scared? I've never seen you scared in my entire life!" And that was true. So long as Renesmee had been alive, she had never seen her father ever get terrified. She knew that it must have been a sight to see. Everyone in her family was pretty strong and she knew that. "Honestly, I'm scared too. Everything just seemed to happen so fast that I really didn't have time to think about anything. One minute I was fine and the next, I was getting sick all the time and could have swore something was growing inside of me because of the dreams I was having," she explained.
