Imagine that you were an old friend of Edward.
***
You just stepped onto the field and Aro immediately turned around, stretching his lips in a simpering smile.
"Dear Y/N, have you arrived too?"
"Y/N," continuing to block his daughter with himself, Cullen said at the same time as the ancient vampire. Bella looked at you, assessing the danger.
Carlisle called you to testify that Renesmee is not a convert. But apparently he didn't tell his family about it.
Bella took one look at Edward to see what you meant to him. He could barely keep his emotions under control, which was very unusual for him.
You walked right up to Carlisle, greeting him softly, and then turned your yellow eyes to the girl who was clinging to Edward and the young convert girl who was standing next to him. You allowed yourself a faint little smile before you asked Carlisle for permission to come closer. The elder Cullen looked back at his son. You could see the desperation in his eyes, but nevertheless, Edward nodded to you, giving you silent permission to approach.
You cautiously approached the girl, not using vampire speed and keeping a wary eye on her parents, who moved away a little to make room for the two of you.
"Hello. I'm Y/N", you knelt down in front of the girl and smiled, looking at her with your eyes. She was beautiful, like all children and looked about ten years old, but as far as you knew, she was born only last September.
Instead of answering, she reached out her hand to your cheek. You looked at her, puzzled, and then looked back at the other Cullens. They were all looking at you. Carlisle shook his head, saying, don't be afraid, she doesn't bite. You snorted to yourself. Turning to Edward's daughter, you looked into her eyes and, having decided to trust Carlisle, froze. The girl gently stretched out her hand to you, smiling gently.
As soon as she touched your cheek, you froze. Bright pictures began to flash before your eyes: blood... human... death... rebirth... vampire. Human. She is a human.
You inhaled sharply, more out of old human habit than out of necessity, opening your eyes wide in shock.
"Hi, Y/N," she said softly when the vision ended, smiling faintly, "my name is Renesmee."

(It was over before it started when Alice and Jasper arrived at the clearing. And you were really glad that no one was killed. Well, or almost no one. You still felt a little sorry for Irina Denali.
"Wait," Edward's voice caught up with you when you were about to leave. But you stopped and turned around.
Edward looked at you with the same despair in his eyes.
"Can we talk?"
You cast an expressive glance at his wife and daughter, and then looked at him with a mute question in your eyes.
"Bella," so you found out the name of his chosen one, "I need to talk to Y/N, okay?"
The girl nodded, looking at you.
"Good," and her voice was beautiful. She took Renesmee and (along with a huge red werewolf!) she walked away from the field, joining her family.
You looked at this picture in amazement.
"I never thought that you would turn someone," you confessed, still looking at the back of Bella and Renesmee leaving.
"It was... a forced measure. I was saving her life."
"But the girl is not converted, but born."
Edward nodded in response to your words.
"Exactly."
You looked at him again. You remembered that he told you that he would never convert anyone. But that was so many years ago…
"I see," you nodded your head and looked around. Almost everyone had already left the field, only Alice and Jasper stopped somewhere on the edge, probably waiting for Edward.
"They're waiting for you," you jerked your head in their direction, but Cullen didn't even turn around.
"Come with us," he offered you. "You will stay with us for a while, you will hunt," he smiled, "you will get to know the whole family."
"This, of course, sounds very tempting, but you have a wife, Edward," you reminded him, looking at him menacingly.
The guy laughed.
"Bella won't mind. Honestly," he raised his hands as if giving up. "We haven't seen each other for so long, Y/N."
You sighed heavily.
"If no one will mind," you finally gave up.
"I think no one. Except Jacob. He can't stand vampires," Edward shrugged.
"Werewolf?" you raised your eyebrows. "Does he live with you?!"
"He is... imprinted on my daughter," Cullen hesitated with the answer. "Come on, I'll tell you everything in the house, okay?"
He held out his hand to you. You hesitated a little, but still took his hand.
"Okay, show me where you live there," you smiled and Edward smiled back with relief. You went straight to Jasper and Alice, together with whom you went to the house where the Cullens lived.)
