For this special day I decided to put some daddy-daughter quotes from “Breaking Dawn”
I cannot wait to see this adorable relationship in the film…
I still think there wasn’t enough of it in the books, so I am hoping for a compensation on the big screen
“While I waited through the split second it took for Carlisle to speak, the vision I’d imagined for Alice danced behind my lids. A tiny, beautiful little baby, even more beautiful than the boy in my dream–a tiny Edward in my arms. Warmth shot through my veins, chasing the ice away.”
“This child, Edward’s child, was a whole different story. I wanted him like I wanted air to breathe. Not a choice–a necessity.”
“I don’t care about anything but keeping her alive,” he said, suddenly focused now. “If it’s a child she wants, she can have it. She can have half a dozen babies. Anything she wants.” He paused for one beat. “She can have puppies, if that’s what it takes.”
“His face changed again, and he did something that made my mouth fall open with a pop. I heard a gasp behind me, and I knew that Rosalie was back, and just as flabbergasted as I was. Edward, very lightly, put both of his hands against her huge, round stomach.
“The f–” He swallowed. “It… the baby likes the sound of your voice.”
“It… he or she, is . . .” He paused and looked up into her eyes. His eyes were filled with a similar awe–only his were more careful and grudging. “He’s happy,” Edward said in an incredulous voice. Her breath caught, and it was impossible not to see the fanatical gleam in her eyes. Thead oration and the devotion. Big, fat tears overflowed her eyes and ran silently down her face and over her smiling lips. As he stared at her, his face was not frightened or angry or burning or any of the other expressions he’d worn since their return. He was marveling with her… At first he didn’t answer, and then–shocking all the rest of us again, three distinct and separate gasps–he laid his ear tenderly against her belly. “He loves you,” Edward whispered, sounding dazed. “He absolutely adores you.”
…
“Renesmee is healthy and well,” he promised, a gleam I’d never seen before in his eyes. He said her name with an understated fervor. A reverence. The way devout people talked about their gods.”
“She’s like nothing else in the world,” he told me, and the sound of an almost religious devotion was there again in his voice.”
“The only parents in the world who don’t need sleep, and our child already sleeps through the night.” He chuckled.
I liked the way he said our child. The words made her more real.
“She has exactly your color eyes–so that didn’t get lost, after all.” He smiled at me. “They’re so beautiful…She’s intelligent, shockingly so, and progressing at an immense pace. Though she doesn’t speak–yet–she communicates quite effectively.”
“We’ll take care of you, Bella. Don’t worry, we’ll be ready. None of us would risk Renesmee. I think you’ll be surprised at how entirely she’s already wrapped us all around her little fingers. She’ll be perfectly safe, no matter what.”
“If her face had not been astonishing in its beauty and perfection, I wouldn’t have believed it was the same child. My child. But Edward was there in her features, and I was there in the color of her eyes and cheeks. Even Charlie had a place in her thick curls, though their color matched Edward’s. She must be ours.”
“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, someone special is coming to see you and your mother,” he said in a solemn voice, as if he expected her to understand every word. Did she? She looked back at him with clear, grave eyes. “But he’s not like us, or even like Jacob. We have to be very careful with him. You shouldn’t tell him things the way you tell us.”
“Hear me.” Edward’s voice shifted into a smooth velvet tone of persuasion. “Renesmee is one of a kind. I am her father. Not her creator–her biological father.”
“I love you, too, Momma,” she answered. She touched the locket at her neck, which now held a tiny photo of her, Edward, and me. “We’ll always be together.”
…And then we continued blissfully into this small but perfect piece of our forever…
