No, I'm not confused. I never questioned Bella's ability, but rather the "ability" of shield penetration that Nessie allegedly has.

My thoughts on this are that Nessie's power works on her due to a MATERNAL CONNECTION and she probably wouldn't have the ability to penetrate any shield (though this may be proen or disproven if SM continues to write).

I then stated that Edward can read Nessies thoughts apparently at all times (during pregnancy and while making contact with Bella). This could be due to a PATERNAL CONNECTION to his child.

This does resignate with the noted difference between vampires who are in a coven for survival purposes and what you would call a family, this scenario suggests that biological links provide an even stronger bond that may "break rules" that have already been established, including but not limited to, the limitation of abilities and powers.
