Breaking Dawn is divided into three separate parts. The first
part details Bella's marriage and honeymoon with Edward, which they
spend on a private island owned by Carlisle who bought it for Esme,
called Isle Esme, off the coast of Brazil. Two weeks into their
honeymoon, Bella realizes that she is pregnant with a half-vampire,
half-human child and that her condition is progressing at an unnaturally
accelerated rate. After contacting Carlisle, who confirms her
pregnancy, she and Edward immediately return home to Forks, Washington.
The fetus continues to develop with unnatural rapidity, and Edward,
concerned for Bella's life and convinced that the fetus is going to kill
her, urges her to have an abortion. However, Bella feels a connection
with her unborn baby and refuses.
The novel's second part is written from the perspective of
shape-shifter Jacob Black, and lasts throughout Bella's pregnancy and
childbirth. Jacob's Quileute wolf pack, not knowing what danger the
unborn child may pose, plan to destroy it and kill Bella. Jacob
vehemently protests this decision and leaves, forming his own pack with
Seth and Leah Clearwater. The fetus in Bella's body grows swiftly and
Bella soon gives birth. The baby breaks many of her bones, including her
spine, and she loses massive amounts of blood. In order to save her
life, Edward changes her into a vampire by injecting his venom into her
heart. Jacob, thinking that Bella is dead, and blaming Bella's daughter
Renesmee as the cause, tries to kill Renesmee. Instead, he "imprints"—an
involuntary response in which a shape-shifter finds his soul mate—on
her.
The third section shifts back to Bella's perspective, describing
Bella's painful transformation and finding herself changed into a
vampire and enjoying her new life and abilities. However, the vampire
Irina misidentifies Renesmee as an "immortal child", a child who has
been turned into a vampire. Because "immortal children" are
uncontrollable, creating them has been outlawed by the Volturi. After
Irina presents her allegation to the Volturi, they plan to destroy
Renesmee and the Cullens. In an attempt to survive, the Cullens gather
other vampire clans from around the world to stand as witnesses and
prove to the Volturi that Renesmee is not an immortal child. Upon
confronting the gathered Cullen allies and witnesses, the Volturi
discover that they have been misinformed and immediately execute Irina
for her mistake. However, they remain undecided on whether Renesmee
should be viewed as a threat to vampires' secret existence. At that
time, Alice and Jasper, who had left prior to the confrontation, return
with a Mapuche called Nahuel, a 150-year-old vampire-human crossbreed
like Renesmee. Nahuel demonstrates that the crossbreeds pose no threat,
and the Volturi leave. Edward, Bella, and Renesmee return to their home
in peace.

Love Poems
Love Poem # 1
A Special World
A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.
Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.
And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.

Love Poem # 2
As Long As You're Near
The first time we met, I could see,
That you and I, were meant to be.
Your eyes were so gentle, your smile so true,
When you first held my hand, I just knew.
Now the time has gone by, through laughter and tears,
These days I shall cherish, for years upon years.
Those memories we have, shall never fade,
For those are the steps, that we have made.
That was the past, the future is near,
I anxiously wait, for what will appear.
New homes, more laughter, and children so dear,
Everything will be wonderful, as long as you're near.

Love Poem # 3
Because Of You
Because of you
my world is now whole,
Because of you
love lives in my soul.
Because of you
I have laughter in my eyes,
Because of you
I am no longer afraid of good-byes.
You are my pillar
my stone of strength,
With me through all seasons
and great times of length.
My love for you is pure
boundless through space and time,
it grows stronger everyday
with the knowledge that you'll always be mine.
At the altar
I will joyously say 'I do',
for I have it all now
and it's all because of you.

Love Poem # 4
If I Knew
If I knew how to write a song
I’d write one everyday
It would say that I’m in love with you
And why I feel this way
It would have to say you’re pretty
And as rare as a desert rose
It would say you’re a looker
From your head down to your toes
You are funny, dainty, fragile
And as feminine as can be
You’re smart charming lovely
And everything to me
You’re my comfort when I’m lonely
You’re my peace when I need rest
Of all the women I’ve known
I must rate you the best.
You’re the orchard in the jungle,
you’re the better half of me
You’re all of this and so much more,
you mean the world to me
Still so much is left unsaid,
It would take me far to long
I know how much I love you,
If only I could write a song.

Love Poem # 5
The Golden Path
Take my hand this way we'll go,
Said the man above,
I'll take you to a place of joy,
Where you will find true love,
If you let go, go on your own,
But mistakes you will make,
For many other ways there are,
Which you are sure to take,
When you feel that you are lost,
All you have to do is pray,
And I'll be there once again,
To help you on your way,
I did pray and just as said,
He shined his light from above,
That showed me the way down the golden path,
That led me to your love.
