Breaking Dawn 399-451

This has got to be one of the slowest books i've ever read. I'm half way thru it here's all thats really happened:
Bella and Edward got married.
They go on a honeymoon for a long time on some remote island that the Cullen's own.
Bella gets pregnant. By her vampire husband.
They return home and the baby grows at an alarming rate--as it breaks her bones.
Bella has to drink human blood to keep the baby healthy.
Bella gives birth to her baby girl and about dies, therefore Edward has to bite her.
She turns into a vampire.

Okay now that were all caught up, here's the new stuff:
The book switches from Jake's point of view back to Bella's. She wakes up with an acute sense of sight--noticing everything from the grains in the wood to the dust particles stirred up in the air. She becomes even more beautiful than she was before and much more graceful. She is so caught up in her new speed and strength that she almost forgets about her newborn baby. She asks to see her daughter, Renesmee (a combo of her mother Rene and Edward's mother Esme). She is denied this wish because the rest of the vampires know that as a newborn vampire, constantly craving human blood, she could possibly hurt her daughter.

So Bella and Edward go out into the woods on Bella's first hunt. Edward doesn't realize the innocent humans not far from them in the woods which is a major mistake when there is a newborn vampire on the loose. Bella is in mid-hunt of the humans when she suddenly realizes that what she is doing is wrong, so she stops herself. This amount of self control is not common in newborn vampires. Bella has brought forth her innocent nature as a human to her vampire life. She soon enough finds a mountain lion to feed on and some deer here and there. After she is full she asks to see her daughter once more.

Now i've said that this book is really slow so i'll try to speed the next thirty pages up a bit. Bella and Edward race home but are stopped by Jake right before the house. He wants to see how strong Bella really is before he lets her see Renesmee. Bella thinks that Jake is just looking out for her and trying to keep her from doing something she would regret. However, Jake has imprinted on Bella's daughter which is the real reason behind his over-protective behavior. Bella doesn't realize this until after she holds her baby girl and Jake won't let go of her. As soon as Bella understands what is really going on she starts going off on Jake. Although Bella doesnt make any attempt of an attack on Jake (which Carlisle is amazed by) Jake's pack comes to defend him, adjusting themselves on either side of him. Bella can't take it anymore and the chapter ends with, "And she lunged toward his throat."
