A/N: This takes place after Breaking Dawn. Renesmee stopped growing after she was seven years old. DISCLAIMER: I do not own any part of the Twilight Saga (I wish!)

Jacob's POV

Today was one of those rare sunny days. Nessie was skipping ahead of me, leading the way to a surprise she wanted to show me. She had waited for today specifically, I suppose. Warm sunlight filtered down from the light canopy of trees above us, giving everything a magical glow. Tiny wildflowers were scattered along the mossy forest floor. Today the woods had a harmonious effect, but nothing could compare to the beauty dancing ahead of me.

It was years since the Volturi had tried to wipe my very exsistance off the face of the earth. When I think about it, hatred still boils up inside me, but it passes. Any trouble we had had since that day was petty and pratically non-exsistant. We had forever to forget that day and create new memories.

Last week Nessie had officially turned eighteen, although her body hadn't changed for eleven years.

She was trapped with the appearance of a sixteen year old permanently. Renesmee said it made her happy to be like that and I was happy that she was happy.

I hadn't changed either and the chances were that I never would. I was going to stay with Nessie forever and with came the leeches- we had gotten over disputes ages ago, but the name still stuck.

As long as the vampires were around, me being able to phase was around, so I was physically about twenty five perpetuitally.

"Come on Jakey!" Nessie called, still bouncing ahead of me. I chuckled to myself. She was so hyper today. Maybe she should have had a sugar-free breakfast. I would have been all for taking her to hunt, but Bella insists that she has at least two human meals a day. Nessie doesn't like food that much, she prefers blood, but she once told me that pancakes with practically a gallon of syrup did have its upside too.

"Jacob!" She called ahead again, sounding a little impatient. Sometimes she acted just like Bella used to, it made me smile.

Nessie did have the right rebuke me though, I was walking slowly, even for human pace.

My steps were drawn-out for a reason. I was scared, not scared precisely, but scared of rejection.

I put my hand in the right pocket of my trousers and enclosed it around the object I wanted to give Nessie for years.

"Jacob Black! If you don't hurry up right this minute I'll-"

"Okay, okay! I'm coming!" I quickly jogged up to her. There was a hint of a smile on her beautiful face.

"Nessie...?" I asked.

"Yes?"

"Where are we going to?"

"It's not far now, just a minute or two," she aformentioned, avoiding my question. It was a lost cause trying to get information out of her when her mind is made up that she is not going to say. Believe me, I've tried.

"Oh, come on slow poke." She grabbed my hand and led me to 'The Big Surprise'.

A few mintutes later we were deeper into the forest. Ahead I could see an opening between the trees, the sun was too strong for me to be able to see what was beyond that.

"Okay, now close you eyes and follow my voice," She giggled to herself, leading me to whatever unknown amazement she had in store.
