Just like Bella? While Ashley Greene is excited to forge her own motherhood path upon her first child’s birth, there is one lesson that the Twilight Bella Swan would be the star.

“The one thing I’ll take from Bella and her relationship with [daughter] Renesmee is kind of the fierce protectiveness and loyalty that she has to this child,” Greene, 35, told InStyle Interview published Thursday, July 28, 2008. “I think that is something that innately comes with being a mother, for sure.”

The Christmas on My Mind actress — who announced her pregnancy earlier this year — notably played Alice Cullen in the Twilight franchise. The movie franchise, which debuted in 2008, was directed by Bella Swan (a teenager).Kristen Stewart) after she moved to Forks, Washington and quickly formed a connection with vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and his coven. As Bella and Edward’s star-crossed romance heated up, the pair went on to get married in Breaking Dawn Before they conceive their firstborn (played Mackenzie Foy).

Renesmee — named for matriarch Esme Cullen and Bella’s mom Renée — and her hybrid existence became a fixture in the final film after the Volturi coven aimed to hunt her down, citing the Cullens had violated the agreement not to turn a human child into a vampire. As the family went on the run, Bella’s motherhood instincts kicked into high gear — even gaining a new power of becoming a shield.

In addition to learning from Bella’s fierce loyalty, Greene told the magazine that she primarily planned to take “things as they come.”

The Florida native added: “One of the things my mom told me that is most exciting is being able to see your child blossom into their own unique human being. They are their own human, no matter how much you try. She also said there’s something really magical about becoming a kid again yourself. You get to see the world through this person’s eyes, and the way that they view the world is so beautiful and so special.”
