“I’ll never be part of your family, Bella.”
The baby, the baby. Like that was all that mattered. Bella’s life was a minor detail to her—easy to blow off.
I don’t like her, but… she’s your Sam. She’s everything you want and everything you can’t have.
I love you so much, little EJ, of course you’re happy.”
Did he actually mean to give me the keys to an Aston Martin Vanquish, or was that an accident?
As time went on, I started noticing all the wrong things. Bella things. This one’s hair was the same color. That one’s eyes were sort of shaped the same. This one’s cheekbones cut across her face in just the same way. That one had the same little crease between her eyes—which made me wonder what she was worrying about.…
C’mon, Jake—imprint already.
Lol
Though you hate me, I must admit that I don’t feel the same about you. I think of you as a… a brother in many ways. A comrade in arms, at the very least.
“I want your permission to deviate from what we agreed to in our treaty with Ephraim. I want you to grant us an exception. I want your permission to save her life.

“You didn’t,” I snarled at him. He backed away, palms up, trying to reason with me. “You know it’s not something I can control.” “You stupid mutt! How could you? My baby!”
“I’ve held her all of one time, and already you think you have some moronic wolfy claim to her? She’s mine.” “I can share,” he said pleadingly as he retreated across the lawn.
“You think you’ll be part of my family as my son-in-law!”
Lol
“You nicknamed my daughter after the Loch Ness Monster?” I screeched.

“Lucky thing Ness—Renesmee’s not venomous,” Seth said after a second of awkward silence. “’Cause she bites Jake all the time.”
