This stuff isn’t for the fainthearted.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.512

Love you too, kid. Whatever else has changed, that hasn’t.
Charlie Swan, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.514

Sturdy if good. She’ll need to be tough, surrounded by all this craziness. Prettiest baby I ever saw, including you, kid. Sorry, but it’s true.
Charlie Swan, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.515

I remembered how it felt, that first uncomfortable immersion in fantasy – the sensation that everything would disappear in the light of the rising sun.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.516

I’d actually made it through the whole day without hurting Charlie. All by myself. I must have a superpower! It seemed too good to be true. Could I really have both my new family and some of my old as well? And I’d thought that yesterday had been perfect.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.517

I’m not even sure she’s really a vampire, let alone a newborn. She’s too tame.
Emmett Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.517

Oooo, scary.
Emmett Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.517

It’s a little dense, don’t you think, to antagonize the strongest vampire in the house?
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.518

Emmett, how do you feel about a little bet?
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.518

You. Me. Arm-wrestling. Dining room table. Now.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.518

You gonna back down so easy, little sister? Not much wild about you, is there? I bet that cottage doesn’t have a scratch. Did Edward tell you how many houses Rose and I smashed?
Emmett Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.520

I’d been so careful since the last time I woke up, trying so hard not to break things. It was a relief to use my muscles. To let the strength flow rather than struggling to restrain it.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.520

Just keep your mouth shut.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.520

It’s not going to wear off that fast. Maybe you ought to give it a month.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.521

Hey, whatever makes you happy, big brother.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.521

Fascinated by the undeniable proof that I was stronger than the strongest vampire I’d ever known, I placed my hand, fingers spread wide, against the rock. Then I dug my fingers slowly into the stone, crushing rather than digging; the consistency reminded me of hard cheese. I ended up with a handful of gravel.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.521

Tell me you didn’t let go a bit on your first run, dog.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.522

Bella’s supposed to be a grown-up. Married and a mom and all that. Shouldn’t there be more dignity?
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.522

Freaky Bella.
Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.523

What an amazing creature she is.
Edward Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.523

He was both dazzling and dazzled.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.523

It was a strange feeling – not surprising, I supposed, since everything felt strange now – this being a natural at something. As a human, I’d never been best at anything.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.523

After eighteen years of mediocrity, I was pretty used to being average. I realized now that I’d long ago given up any aspirations of shining at anything. I just did the best with what I had, never quite fitting into my world. So this was really different. I was amazing now – to them and to myself. It was like I had been born to be a vampire. The idea made me want to laugh, but it also made me want to sing. I had found my true place in the world, the place I fit, the place I shined.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 26, p.523
