Chapter 1: footprints

The sun streamed in on my legs and shoulders, both of which were bare. My silk camisole was sticking to my skin and I could feel my hair was a mess. I got that feeling that I wasn't alone and awoke with a start. There he was my beautiful, twinkling eyed boyfriend, Jacob Black. We had began going out just about a year ago and we've been going strong ever since. I got out of my bed and ran over to him on my small couch and sat on his lap. The past few mornings had been like this and every morning it was new and refreshing and, well, beautiful.

I was stuck forever in the body of a half vampire. I could never die, I could never bleed or, as far as I knew, have babies. Jacob I and I were made for each other, although I didn't know how far that would reach. I would stop growing at the physical age of 20. Right now, physically, I was only about sixteen. I was technically about 5 years old. It would take me only two more years to live a growing life. After that, even I didn't know what I was going to do.

I was looking out the window at the sunny patch of grass outside my window, which was unusual for Forks, Washington. Suddenly, Jacob carefully pulled my face to his and embraced me. He was everywhere. I could always count on Jacob to be the one to keep me safe and happy. He was made for me, and I for him. I loved Jacob. He pulled away suddenly and looked at me. His eyes were twinkling and I couldn't resist. I kissed him and I could feel a smile on his face. I pulled away and looked at him.

"What?" I asked, very self-conscious, wondering why he was smiling. He looked at me and smiled again.

"You can't resist me. Oh, and by the way, good morning. "He pecked me on the cheek and reached for the remote. This was a typical morning for Jacob and I. I never really went to school, seeing as my aunts and uncles could teach me history as they experienced and my grandfather and father had graduated from college nearly 50 times collectively. Usually, I learned when I wanted to. I learned all of my middle school math and science in a week and was currently working at getting my high school diploma, which was an ongoing effort for about three months now. I'd be done in about three more.

My mom walked in with a plate full of eggs, no doubt for Jacob and I, seeing as there was two forks, a whole loaf of toast and two cups of coffee ( I love that stuff). She pecked me on the cheek and tiptoed out of the room.

Jacob and I ate in silence, mostly watching a re-run of That's 70's Show and occasionally giggling to something Fez would say. When we were done, Jacob took the tray out to the kitchen and I took it as an opportunity to get dressed. I went first into my powder room off of my bedroom and freshened up my face and hair before returning to my closet.

The closet, which was walk in, was about one and a half times the size of my room. Since I was born, my parents had added a second story all of which was mine, so half of it was the closet and bathroom, the other a bedroom and living area, all of which was vey open and airy, especially with the sky lights and floor to ceiling windows. My closet was designed by Alice and had a wall for jeans and skirts and dress pants, a wall for shirts and dresses, and a wall for shoes. Yeah, I know every girls dream. I mostly shopped with her in Seattle or sometimes we'd take a long weekend to L.A. or San Francisco.

I pulled out a deep pink tank and a pair of dark wash cuffed jeans. I pulled on the garments and topped it off with a faded deep brown belt at the waist and a pair of ripped up black Converse. By the time I was finished, Jacob was lying back on the couch engrossed in Sports Center. I cleared my throat and he looked up and was totally pulled in. He got up off the couch and stood next to me. He was wearing a tight v-neck white shirt and a pair of dark wash jean shorts. I slipped my hand into his and we walked downstairs and into the forrest together.

We reached my grandparents house to find everyone about their day. Esme was cleaning and Alice was re-arranging everyone's closets for summer. Jasper and Emmett were watching a baseball game and mom and dad were in the piano room. Jacob sat down next to Jasper and immediately became engrossed in the game. I went to find Alice to help her. She was in my second bedroom at the house, where I sometimes spent the night. Alice nearly ambushed me into the room and locked the door behind me.

"Here," she flung a bag at me, "change into this and tell Jacob you want to go swimming" I never doubted what ant Alice said, so I obliged. Alice slipped out of the room to give me privacy.

Inside the bag were three swimming suits. The first was a deep blue top and bottom. The bottom was very plain, but the top was a push up top with a tie in the middle. It was definitely sexy. The second was a pink and white striped swimming suit that timed at the hips and around the neck and back, even sexier. The third was the worst yet. It was a bandu strapless top that was purple and had a very skimpy bottom.

I deicded on the second one and found that Alice had included in the bag my accessories. There was a big floppy hat and some rubber flip flops. There was also a long dress cover up in the same pink as the suit. I pulled it on and grabbed the big bag Alice included and went downstairs. Jacob's eyes nearly popped when he saw me, and I immediately blushed.

"Um, do you want to go to the beach?" I asked Jacob and he looked up at me like a child on Christmas day.

"Sure," he said as he got off the couch. We went back upstairs so he could change into swimming trunks. Jacob sat on the bed, grabbed my waist, and pulled me down on his lap.

"Ya know," he said, "I don't really like that dress, can I see your suit?" I blushed even deeper as he slid the cover up over my head and pulled me onto the bed and began kissing me. At that moment, Uncle Emmett came into the room and Jacob and I pulled away. Emmett smiled and mouthed, "oh" and closed the door.

Jacob and I got up and dressed again, and this time instead of the dress, I put on a pair of shorts that were pretty ripped up and some old converse. I felt very beach-ready today. Jacob slipped his hand into mine and grabbed the beach bag. We went downstairs and there was a note from aunt Alice.

Jacob you know the plan. We've gone hunting for the day xoxo Alice

I looked at Jacob and he smiled slyly. He grabbed one of the keys from the bowl near the garage door and pulled me out into the garage.

In front of me was my dream car. I had waited for forever to get this car, and here it was. The Audi R8 speed Rider in white and black. With a convertible top, it could go 0- 60 in 4 seconds and could go up to 198 miles per hour.

"Jacob, we're not going to first beach, are we?" I turned to Jacob and he was already in the car.

"Nope we sure aren't um well… I'm just going to warn you now Renesmee, were not coming back for the weekend. Alice packed you a bag but if there's anything you need, get it now." I looked at Jacob, bewildered.

"Um nope," I said with a shaky voice, "I think Alice packed everything. " and with that, I got in the car and we sped away.

"so, exactly where are we going?" I asked Jacob as we sped out of Forks.

"Um well I think Alice made reservations for us in San Francisco, but if you want we could go to L.A. or somewhere more south." Jacob looked at me.

"Um, not San Fran is ok I've really been wanting to go back there." I looked at him and smiled.

"Yeah we know Renesme; you've been talking about it in your sleep for the past three weeks. San Fran this, San Fran that, it's quite funny actually." I blushed deeper as we hit the highway and Jacob sped up past 100.

The drive was peaceful. Jacob and I made small talk but I was really excited to hit the beach. We pulled into our hotel where we were staying downtown and Jacob flung a shirt at me.

"Put this on for a bit." It was one of Jacobs v- neck white shirts. I put it on over my bikini and we got out bags and went into the hotel while the valet parked the car. I saw out of the corner of my eye the greasy teenage boy at the desk eyed me and my car lustfully and eyed Jacob with a twinge in this eye. I smiled at him and I'm pretty sure caused some things to um... happen because he looked away shamefully. I looked at Jacob and he smiled his huge grin and draped his arm around me. He was mine and I, his.

We got settled in our room and found our way out to the beach. It was nearly 1:00 so it was perfect timing. Jacob and I laid out our towels and turned on our radio. Alice had also packed us some drinks and food. I laid down on my back and took Jacobs hand in mine.

"Um… Renesmee?" he asked, "um well were going out tonight so don't lay out too long or you'll be too tired to go out."

I looked up at him and smiled, "Okay," I said with a grin on my face, "would you mind putting some sunscreen on my shoulders and back please?" Jacob searched for the tube of Coppertone and squeezed out some lotion and began rubbing it over my shoulders. I reached back and untied the swimming suit "don't want tan lines," I sad to Jacob as he looked at me bewildered, and he rubbed my back down in the lotion. Jacob pecked me on the cheek and lay back down.

We lay in the sun for a few hours soaking up the vitamin D that was usually absent in the rainy town of Forks. Around four Jacob got up and said that we should probably get ready. I got up forgetting that my bikini was untied and flashed Jacob who immediately turned his back to me. I covered myself up and quickly tied my swimming suit.

"Jake, I'm sorry I'm all back inside now…" Jacob still didn't turn around. "Jacob, are you okay?" I was getting kind of worried. Maybe he went into shock.

"It's alright Nessie, lemme just um… well hold on a few seconds." He sounded genuinely embarrassed. I started packing up our things while Jacob was doing his thing. I eventually got everything packed up and by that time Jacob was ready to go.

"Sorry Hun, you just... Um… surprised me." I looked at Jacob and kissed him on the cheek and put my hand in his. Jacob took a shower and I laid on our bed in the hotel in one of his oversized shirts flipping through the cannels on the TV. I was spread out on the bed with cool Aloe Vera gel on my stomach and face. I had layed out a bit too long today. I heard the shower turn off and got my things together to take a shower too.

Just then Jacob came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. His hair was wet and his muscles were tanned and super sexy. My heart started racing and I nearly fell over. His towel was so low, you could see the lines that led…. Don't think of that Renesmee! He put his hand on my chest, "Why is your heart beating so fast Ness?" I looked up at Jacob and gave him a halfhearted smile.

"Um, because, you look um," I swallowed hard, "sexy." He looked at me and his eyes twinkled. He grabbed me and led me into the bathroom in front of the mirror.

"Renesmee, if you think I'm the sexy one, there are no words to describe your beauty." And with that, Jacob Black kissed me so passionately, so enthusiastically I couldn't help but grab his waist and pull him closer to me. I could feel him smile as he pulled away from the kiss and look at me.

"Shower," he said, and walked out of the room. I stripped out of my bikini and walked into the cool shower. The water felt nice running over my cool skin. My mind flashed back to Jacob in that towel. We were going to have to sleep together tonight. We only had one bed in the entire room, and, unless I wanted to sleep on the floor, that was my only option. What if I couldn't keep my hands off of him? What if something happened that I would regret later? What if we… but I couldn't think that way. I wouldn't let it happen.

Jacob knocked on the door and came in. God, here I was, naked, in the shower and he was barely 6 feet away.

"I just need to get ready," he said, and put a bag down on the counter. He was wearing a pair of boxer shorts and that was it. He put on deodorant and combed his hair I was nearly drooling. Then he took out and electric razor and began shaving. I tried to focus on what was at hand, and I began to lather up my legs to shave also. I could see Jacob out of the corner of my eye watching me through the mirror. Of course he couldn't see everything because the shower door distorted the image, but he could see an outline. I'm pretty sure each of us was very uncomfortable about all of this. At least, I hoped.

I finished shaving and turned off the tap. I reached out of the door and grabbed a towel that was hanging up and began to dry myself off. Jacob left me to do my thing and I got ready for our date. I dried and re- curled my hair and pulled back front few pieces, applied foundation and powder along with mascara and liner to my eyes with a touch of pink shadow and a nude pink lipstick. I then went out into the room where Jacob as getting himself ready and grabbed my dress. He looked at me, (I was in a lacy black bra and panties) and looked away, blushing. I quickly retreated back into the bathroom and slipped on the dress, which was a pleated black halter dress, and walked back out into the room.

Jacob had put on a crisp white shirt, dress pants and a black tie, which wasn't tied yet, and was looking at a pair of freshly shined black dress shoes. I grabbed my black pumps and slipped them on and put on my diamond earrings (a present from my father) and looked at Jacob, who looked back at me.

"Um could you help me, I have no clue how to tie a tie." I looked at him and smiled and went over and tied the tie for him. He then put on his dress shoes as I filled my black satin clutch and then he took my hand and we went out to the valet and got our car. Once we were on our way, I asked Jacob where we were going.

"The only restaurant good enough for my Renesmee," And that was all he said until we got to that said restaurant which was Restaurant Gary Dinko.

"The only 5 star restaurants around is this one and the one at the Ritz, which is where we are staying of course," Jacob commented as my jaw popped open. "Reservation for Cullen, party of two," Jacob said to the maitre d' , who took us to a secluded part of the restaurant and seated us.

"Your first course will be caviar, as we discussed, sir," she said turning to Jacob and stepped away from the table.

"Um, Alice actually called ahead and reserved everything for us and ordered our meals for us, so I have no clue what were even going to be eating," Jacob said with a smile on his face. Jacob put his hand across the table and grabbed mine and we sat there, smiling like idiots and talking about nothing at all that made sense.

The caviar came and we chowed down. Then came the appetizers. I got the Lobster salad, while Jacob got the Glazed oysters. It was delicious. Next they brought out a wine from France, I believe they said, called Sektahus Solter, Rheingau, 2006. It was a deep red wine that tasted out of this world. Next came the seafood course. I got seared sea scallops, while Jacob got Maine lobster. Everything was so beautiful and yummy and colorful, like a work of art. Then came one of Jacob's favorite courses, the game and bird course. He got a roasted pork belly and I got the most delicious loin of lamb. We barely spoke to each other while we were eating because the food was so good. Then came the cheese course, Jacob picked the Pleasant Ridge Gruyere Cheese, and I picked the Great hill Blue cheese. I never really cared for cheese and I was too full form everything else to even begin to fathom eating anymore, until our desserts arrived. Mine was a Louisiana batter cake and Jacobs was a chocolate Soufflé with three sauces.

We nearly stuffed ourselves to the brim before our plates were taken, the last sips of wine were taken, and the check was delivered. Jacob pulled out three $100 bills from his pocket and told the waitress the rest was her tip. He took my hand and we waddled out of there.

"Jacob, how much was the dinner?" I looked at him as we went to our car. E turned to me and looked worried.

"It was $250 dollars," He looked a bit shocked to me. "Alice told me it was expensive but I guess I was unprepared."

"Jacob, Alice gave you the money to take me, didn't she?" Jacob looked ashamed.

"yeah, I told her I wanted to take you somewhere special for our anniversary, but had no clue how to arrange it. So, she planned everything and, well, um, she lent me the money. Please don't be mad." He looked at me mercifully. I couldn't resist. I kissed him and that said everything words couldn't, I love you, thank you, no I'm not mad, thrilled, actually. And so much more. I pulled away after what seemed like forever and smiled. He turned on the car and sped back to the hotel.

"Get on something comfortable, I want to go walking on the beach.' Jacob said as we got back to our room. I looked through the clothes that Alice packed for me and chose a purple v neck dress with spaghetti straps that fell to just above my knees and a pair of brown gladiator sandals. Jacob had changed into a pair of jeans and a polo shirt. We held hands and walked out onto the beach. The sun had set hours ago and so the beach was calm and peaceful once again. A few sand castles stood in the distance.

"This was such a nice day, Jacob, I had so much fun" I said, and I truly meant it.

"Yeah, I did too. Sorry about earlier, I just, well you know how it goes, you're really pretty and I just couldn't help myself." He sighed and I looked at him.

"Well at least you know it, ya know, works." I smiled as he blushed deeply.

"Yeah I guess. I'm sad that we have to leave again tomorrow but it was a nice day to get away. And I had fun with you," Jacob said. His palms were getting sweaty. He stepped in front of me, which stopped me.

"Renesmee, I love you. I always have. I never want to lose you. I never want to be without you. But most of all, I don't want to be just dating or just friends. I want to be your husband, and you to be my wife. I want to be with you forever. Every day of forever." Jacob got on one knee and pulled a box out of his pocket and opened it. "Will you marry me?"

Words failed me, except for the one that would make him mine for forever. "Yes."

And with that, Jacob broke into a grin and slipped the ring on my finger. He picked me up and kissed me more passionately that I thought possible. Once we finally broke off, I looked at my finger, where there was a beautiful ring.

It had a white gold band with a large diamond in the center. Surrounding it was tiny blue sapphires. It brought tears to my eyes.

"It was my mother's," Jacob said. "She gave it to the girls if they ever wanted it, but they decided you should have it."

"Jacob, this is the most beautiful thing ever. I love it, and I love you. Thank you." I got on my tip toes and pecked him on the lips.

He took my hand in his and we walked back to the hotel in complete bliss.
