Breaking Dawn Part 1: Renesme

Breaking Dawn is the final book and film in the Twilight franchise. In the films, the final book was divided into two parts. Therefore, I decided to write about it as two separate parts. At the beginning, Bella and Edward get married. The wedding goes smoothly until Jacob shows up unexpectedly. Jacob worries for Bella's safety when Bella tells Jacob that her and Edward will have a "normal honeymoon", implying that they will have sex. Jacob fears that Edward might hurt Bella unintentionally. As Jacob predicted, Edward leaves Bella with bruises and breaks the bed.

Towards the end of her honeymoon, Bella finds out that she is pregnant. She tells Edward and he is astonished, quickly gathering her items to fly back to Forks. There Edward and the rest of the Cullens discuss what to do with the baby without asking Bella for her opinions. In the end, Bella tells them it is her child and that she will keep her. Since the baby is half immortal, it develops at an alarming rate, not allowing Bella's body to adapt to the changes her body is going through fast enough. Throughout this process, Edward is not supporting Bella because he doesn't see the child as a baby but as monster that could potentially kill Bella. This is the first time in the saga that Bella is not dependent on anyone. In fact, she realizes that she must be selfless and ignore Edward's remarks, because her child is now dependent on her.

Before the child is even born, there are plenty of enemies out to kill the child. Jacob's pack sees the child as a threat and plan to kill the child. Jacob seems to shine in the book as he goes against the pack leader's wishes and backs the leader of the pack down. Therefore, Jacob chose to side with the vampires than his own blood. Once the child is born, Bella's light goes out and she dies. In an attempt to try to resuscitate her, Edward bites her to try to change her into a vampire. Jacob sees the baby and immediately imprints on her. He will become a protector, a brother, anyone she wants in the future. In the end, Bella's future is not certain but her baby, Renesme seems to be just fine.
