"Breaking Dawn" is the concluding chapter of the teenage vampire saga "Twilight" which tells the forbidden love between vampire Edward Cullen and mortal Bella Swan, written by international best seller Stephenie Meyer. Will the couple finally find the happily ever after ending that they were looking for? Of course they did.
Bella and Edward are about to get married. Despite Bella's initial hesitation to the thought of getting married at the tender young age of eighteen, she concedes primarily because this is the only condition Edward has given her before consumating their relationship and turning her into a vampire.

Both Edward and Carlisle initially agreed to terminate the pregnancy. Bella was wasting away because of the baby, it was eating her alive. She sought the help of Edward's other sister, Rosalie, who was desperate to have a child of her own. They both protected the unborn baby, despite the damage it was doing to Bella's health. She soon gave birth to a beautiful daughter, whom she named Renesmee. However, Bella lost so much blood after giving birth and was already dying. Edward had no other choice but to turn her into a vampire.
After waking up from her long sleep after Edward injected her with the vampire venom, she sought her daughter. She instantly fell in love and was amazed at her fast growth.
