-Renesmee-
Renee almost touched me, then seemed to think better of it.
"Sit down," Renee whispered again, gesturing towards the porch swing. I sat, she sat.
"But Bella... died... " Renee whispered.
Lovely. So THAT was what this woman believed.
"She died. I saw her. Dead. Almost eighteen years ago. She was a victim of hit and run," Renee said, sounding panicked, as if she were only trying to convince herself.
I decided to play along, it was convenient. For my family.
"I was born a few months before that. She didn't want আপনি to know," I lied easily.
"And the rest of the Cullens?" Renee whispered, sounding terrified.
I cast my eyes down, and sobbed convicingly.
"Plane crash," I choked out. "I wasn't affected, I was on my honeymoon. I just heard today. I didn't want to go the rest of my life not knowing the only family I had left. I only had Charlie before."
দ্বারা now I was full blown sobbing. I had to be a good actress, lying was what I would have to do to live amongst normal humans. Renee put her arms around me. She স্মেল্ট of honey.
"Did আপনি say honeymoon?" Renee asked, and I knbew she was trying not to provoke আরো sobbing.
"I got married three weeks ago, so my last name technically isn't Cullen anymore. I'm Renesmee Black."
Renee froze, and asked, "Black? As in, Jacob Black?"

Renee froze, and asked, "Black? As in, Jacob Black?"
"It shocked me.I was not sure if she meant to attack.That's the only interpretation of her behavior that my past had to offer.But she was smiling.And the emotions that were emanating from her were like nothing I'd ever felt before.
"'You've kept me waiting a long time,'she said."
I didn't realize Alice had come to stand behind me again.
"And আপনি ducked your head like a good Southern gentleman,and said,'I'm sorry ma'am.'"Alice laughed at the memory.
Jasper smiled down at her."You held out your hand,and I took it without stopping to make sense of what I was doing.For the first time in almost a century,I felt hope."
Jasper took Alice's hand as he spoke.
Alice grinned."I was just relieved.I thought আপনি were never going to প্রদর্শনী up."
