Talk:Shield penetration/@comment-120.148.81.42-20140121042539

I think this isn't really a power. I think it is that Bella, being her mother automatically shields her, thus allowing Nessie to project to Bella. On the fact that Edward can still read Nessie's thoughts even when she is protected by Bella's Shield, I think it's a similar thing. He can't not hear her thoughts due to their biological and paternal link. Or maybe it's that Bella doesn't stretch her shield, but rather creates an opening for Nessie to penetrate it. Like I said, this has more to do with being a parent than being a power.

If Nessie actually neutralised Bella's mental shield, then when Nessie and Bella made contact, Edward would be able to hear her thoughts. You think he would notice that.
