1 when he hears her in bella for the first time that was amazing I think if he could of creid then he would of
2 when jake gave neddie the promise bracelet for christmas edward was not very happy about it but he kept inself under control
3 when edward finally finds out what bella was hiding from him, nessie went to him and just how he held her, you could tell that they loved eachtother
4 he was always trying to find history and a cure for nessie when they found out that she was growing to fast. he would not of been worried like that if he did not love her.
5 the biggest one is when bella and edward are talking and edward says that I got more then I deserve now. somewhere along the lines of my life is perfect now.
there are little parts in the book where it is shown that he loves nessie. I think he is a wonderful father but well so much other stuff was going on that there was no time to show it. also, we have to remember the books was in bellas prespectvie. she was worried crazy that they would all dye and that she had to find a way to get nessie out safley. bella was not in the right mindset to see the little things like how edward was a wonderful father.
I agree with sarabells completely. I have read enough pages to notice that alot of people need to go back and reread breaking dawn since they missed all this. Edward loved Nessie, he also read her mind constantly. Since we only new Bella's point of view, we have no idea what he said about it.
Page 503: When charlie was going to visit, Edward was instructing her about being careful with him. She touched him and said "exactly, and he's going to make you thirsty. but you mustn't bit him. he wont heal like jacob." Also on the same page, he puts his arms around Bella and Nessie.
Page 463: Nessie was showing Bella what Bella did to Jacob, Edward chuckled at the image.
Page 489: Edward was getting Nessie something to "eat".
Page 522: Nessie touches Edwards face and wishes less dignity from Nella. She thinks shes funny.
Page 468: The best one by far, Nesse is telling Bella everything she missed and she tells Bella about the song that Edward crooned to her. It was during the time that Edward was waiting for Bella to wake up and become a vampire. So just imagine Edward holding Nessie, humming a lullaby just for her and Bella laying sleeping.
Are some of you still questioning wither or not Edward cares/loves/spends enough time with Nessie? These are just SOME of the things that I found just now. The three spend a lot of time together, Edward is always by Bella's, Bella always has Nessie side, they also end up setting up Nessie bed in the cotta. I can go on and on about this but I don't think it's necessary. I have no doubt in my mind that Edward is a loving and devoted dad.
If some of you are whining about her never saying dad but only twice, when does she say mom? I count once. If you reread breaking dawn you will notice that Nessie preferred to talk through her mind.
How on earth can ANYONE even think that Bella forgot about him or ignored him?? Do I have to bring up pages of that? For those people, go back and read breaking dawn after Nessie was born. Psh.
For those of you that are going on about how young they was. It was a book, fantasy, Stephanie says over and over on her webpage that it was. They was MARRIED anyways first. Edward was 17 when he was transformed into a vampire, he is technically 100 years old. Bella was 19, the book showed her as a mother figure to her dad and her own mom. Of course they are ready to take care of Nessie! Unexpected? of course. Edward WAS. That is why he was so scared, he has no idea what a vampire half breed would do to Nella's body, he has no idea WHAT it would be, for all he knew it was full blood. He was scared the whole time until he heard Nessie thoughts and then he understood that Nessie would do her best not to hurt Bella.
This is why I hate getting on forums to discuss the books that I read, it annoys me a great deal with I see nearly 5 pages worth of people discussing if Edward was mature enough, or if Edward was ready, or if Edward was old enough, Bella was mature enough, if Bella was ready, if Bella was old enough, if Bella forgot all about Edward, if Edward spent enough time with Nessie, etc etc. If you guys are STILL asking those questions and still wondering after all these posts, go reread Breaking Dawn SLOWLY.
