"Alice?" Bella clicked her fingers in front of her face. "Hey, what did you see?"
"Oh." Alice shook herself out her daze and pursed her lips. "Visitors."
"What?" Bella frowned. "Who?"
"Not sure exactly, I only saw a few seconds and then it went blank."
She shrugged and skipped towards the kitchen with Bella following. "Must be wolves!"
"What about wolves?" Jacob walked in the back door, the same beaming smile plastered across his face, unchanged for more than two decades.
His hair brushed the middle of his back as he plopped himself onto a stool at the breakfast bar, grabbing an open bag of chips that sat on the side.
"I think we may be getting a visit; our futures seem to have disappeared." Alice closed her eyes and rested her head on Jacob's shoulder.
Jacob wrinkled his nose. "Do you have to do that?"
"I have a headache!" she answered matter of factly. "Blame your wife and child."
"Are you sure it wasn't just because Jacob got close?" Bella asked, taking the topic of conversation back a few paces.
"Pretty sure." Her voice hummed, "Plus you know it's slightly easier to see around him these days, it wouldn't have disappeared so quickly…Definitely getting some hairy visitors."
"Well, that shouldn't draw any attention to us!" Bella folded her arms, sarcasm oozing from every pore, "If Jake walking around topless in the middle of an Alaskan winter doesn't already scream 'look at me, look at me' then more of them definitely will."
"Hey, I can't help that I'm hot!" Jacob grinned.
"You bragging again, baby?" Renesmee walked in, wrapping her arm around his waist.
"Me? Never!" He kissed the top of her head. "Where's Sarah?"
"Supposedly doing her homework," Renesmee sighed.
"Supposedly?" Jacob cocked an eyebrow.
Nessie raised a hand to his face. Jacob let his eyes fall shut as the pictures streamed behind them.
His daughter; pale skin, black hair and blushing cheeks- a real life Snow White- sneaking out the back door and into the damp, green surrounds of the forest. She was racing at an unnatural speed and slowed just out of sight of a waiting car, jogging at a more human pace to the passenger side.
"One day she will learn that she can't outsmart a bunch of vampires!" Renesmee rested a hand on her hip and chuckled.
"I'll kill him!" Jacob fumed. "I don't care who he is, I'll rip his greasy little throat out!"
"Calm down sweetie." Nessie rubbed his arms. "It's nothing you need to worry about."
"Did you know about this?" He turned his attention to Alice.
"You know I can't see anything she doesn't want me to. But," Alice slipped on to a stool next to him as he began to shake with fury, "I did, however, see Emmett, showing up at precisely the right moment and a rather petrified jock, running far--far away."
"Yes, you did!" Emmett boomed, crashing through the front door, tugging a reluctant Sarah behind him, "And I must admit ,I have never seen a human run so fast!"
"What did you do this time?" Jacob couldn't hide the grin as he saw the look of dumbfounded horror on his daughter's face.
"Played the homicidal big brother," Emmett chuckled. "I took out one window, and he was gone…not nearly as satisfying as it was with the last kid. "
"Daddy!" Sarah fumed at Jacob. "How could you let them do this to me?"
"You should be grateful it was Em and not me, or he wouldn't have been running anywhere." His smile was gone. "You ever try this again and you are off to a convent, you hear me?"
"I'm eighteen!" Sarah yelled, her fists clenching at her sides.
"Not for two weeks you're not!" Jacob exclaimed. "How many times do we have to ask you to stay off the radar? How many times do we need to move before you realise how much your antics draw attention to this family?"
"I'm drawing attention?" she hissed. "Emmett just broke a windscreen with his bare hands, with no physical consequence!"
"Okay, so it may not have been one of my best moments.' Emmett shrugged.
"We're trying to keep it normal," Bella interjected.
"Oh yeah!" Sarah threw her hands up, "Because going to school, and being in the same classes as your grandparents, aunts and uncles who pretend to be your brothers and sisters is completely normal?"
"The younger…"Bella started.
"Yeah yeah, the younger you start the longer we stay. Like I haven't heard that before…So unfair!" She threw herself into a chair.
"It's just so unfair!" Jacob squeaked, mimicking his daughter.
"Anyway," Renesmee smacked her husband's arm "we need you to stay close…Our futures just disappeared" she nodded towards Alice.
"It's probably just Jake's old pack brothers," Alice interjected "but, until we're sure, we can't risk being divided in case we're wrong."
"Any idea how long?" Emmett asked, throwing his arm loosely over Alice's shoulders.
"Well, just before it all went black I think…" she trailed off, squeezing her eyes shut, forcing herself to explore the detail in her vision "The Fire-weed flowers were out…few days at most" she shrugged.
"Great, another excuse for you to keep me locked in all weekend" Sarah huffed.
"Oh it'll be fun!" Alice said, dropping next to her and squeezing her shoulders, "You can let me do your hair…It'll be so pretty"
"Hey, she's beautiful as she is." Jacob piped up, shoving a hand full of chips into his mouth.
"Of course she is"' Alice beamed "She has Cullen blood in her… I just wanna play!"
"I am not a toy!" Sarah yelled, shoving Alice's hand from her hair "I'm old enough to look after myself and as you said" she scowled at Alice "Cullen blood and shape shifter genes make me pretty damn capable of looking after myself too!"
"But that doesn't stop us worrying about you," Bella said softly "so just humour us, or we really will lock you up."
"I thought you said two days? It's been three." Sarah scowled at Alice before turning her attention back to the TV.
"I said a few, that can mean more than two…But I don't think it'll be long now, the Fire-weed blossomed yesterday, and…'" She trailed off, her brow creasing.
"They're here!" Jacob ran in from the back of the house, a wide smile spread across his face "It's Seth and Embry; I heard them while I was out running. They'll be here any minute!"
"Oh, yay!" Alice clapped hysterically "I've missed Seth."
"Who's Seth?" Sarah asked, her arms folded sternly across her chest.
"Your dad's pack brother, second in command." Alice informed her "Well used to be, we aren't really sure how it would work after he left with us…They're outside I can smell them!"
"Oh god! I'll be in my room." Sarah shook her head and ascended the stairs, disappearing into her room as there was a knock on the door.
"Seth, man you haven't changed a bit!" Jacob exclaimed pulling him into a hug and slapping him lightly on the back "Embry!" He smiled, repeating the gesture.
"It's been too long, boys," Alice smiled as Seth grabbed her tiny body against his "I've missed you."
"Missed you too…Jasper still around?" Seth asked cocking an eyebrow.
"Of course" Alice chuckled.
"Shame" Seth grinned back.
"Like you could ever handle me, little boy!' she smirked "One day Seth, you'll find someone." She rubbed her hand down his bare arm and walked off into the kitchen.
"Oh so you can see our futures now, huh?" he shouted after her and she waved him off, blindly.
"So what brings you here?" Jacob asked, sitting on the couch, and they followed sitting next to him.
"Don't worry, it's nothing sinister." Embry smiled "I'm here to extend an invite to my wedding…Seth here decided to make it a cross country trip rather than a phone call."
"Dude, that's great!" Jacob ruffled his hair playfully "When did that happen?"
"Not too long ago." Embry shrugged "Just this ass left now." He nodded at Seth.
"Hey, I'm happy being free, thanks." Seth slouched further into the seat, his long legs stretched across the floor.
"Dude thinks he's the new Hugh fucking Hefner!" Embry said, shoving him.
"Still breaking hearts, huh?" Jacob chuckled.
"And beds!" Seth interjected, smiling proudly, running his fingers lazily across the expanse of his well defined chest "Its handy being able to stay twenty-one forever."
"It does have some good points." Jacob cocked an eyebrow as he spotted his wife at the top of the stairs "Hey baby."
"Hey sweetie." She walked up behind his chair and leaned over to kiss his forehead, "Hello boys, can I get you anything?"
"Got any food?" Embry chirped hopefully.
"If Jake hasn't already inhaled it all, then of course!" She smiled walking into the kitchen, Embry following her.
"Hey Dad!" Sarah came running down the stairs, "can I go out now? This place sucks ass and I've had just about enough of Alice playing Barbie with me."
"Did we forget to teach you manners or are you that rude all by yourself?" Jacob scowled at his daughter.
"Just one of my many talents!" She shrugged nonchalantly.
"Sarah, this is Seth, Seth this is my daughter." He indicated between the two, his eyes stopping on Seth, his body rigid, "Yo Seth, what's up?"
Seth turned, his eyes wide, "Dude, I'm sorry." He shook his head.
"What? Why are you sorry?" Jacob frowned, watching his daughter gaze open mouthed at Seth, her eyes roaming perversely over his body and her cheeks flushed and his mouth dropped open.
"You're dead!" Jacob yelled, standing up, his arms shaking, "I'm gonna fucking kill you!" Seth darted around the back of the sofa.
"And you?" He pointed at his daughter, "You get upstairs"
"But I…"she started, and Seth pulled her behind him.
"Don't take it out on her," Seth pleaded, "it's not her fault."
"What the hell is going on?'" Renesmee stood in the doorway, flanked by the rest of the family, Embry rushing to Seth's side, confusion plastered across his face.
"I'm gonna rip your legs off if you don't get away from her!" Jacob growled, pointing a shaking finger at Seth.
"You know I can't do that." Seth shook his head.
"Will someone please explain to me what's going on?" Renesmee stood next to Jacob, her hands rubbing his back in an attempt to calm his quivering body.
"He," Jacob hissed at Seth "just imprinted on our daughter!"
"Welcome to my world!" Edward scoffed, walking away.
"You need to calm down" Renesmee walked up behind her husband as he paced the width of their bedroom, catching his waist under her long fingers as he paused at the window and hugging him "Let's get some sleep and talk about this in the morning…when it's had time to sink in" she kissed between his shoulder blades and pulled away towards the dresser, grabbing a pink night dress from the drawer and disappearing into their bathroom.
"You don't know Seth like I do" Jacob scowled "I've quite literally seen how dirty his mind is…It'll probably be too late in the morning"
"You know it doesn't work like that." She called from the bathroom, clinking her toothbrush back into the holder and coming out brushing her hair.
"It was different for us" Jacob whined "our love grew as you did… We weren't plunged into a relationship with a defiant teenager and a nymphomaniac wolf!"
"From what I remember," Renesmee crossed the room and snaked her arms round his bare torso "we were exactly that."
"It's not the same" He pouted, "She's my baby, my little girl and besides your dad was an ass about us being together; it was the only way."
"And I guess this is what you call not being an ass?" She cut her eyes at her husband "You know how imprinting works baby, you've been there…you're still there. So am I, I know just how Sarah is feeling right now."
"Oh really?" Jacob oozed sarcasm.
"Yeah, really!" She pulled away from him "It was confusing, my feelings for you constantly changed. You were a brother, a friend, when I hit five it was the worst because you were out of bounds and you were just so…well, hot, and then when I hit six it all changed again. As far as I was concerned you were still forbidden and it was so hard to not feel that way… I learnt three new languages that summer, just so that my dad didn't hear what I was thinking!"
"You did?" Jacob grinned, grabbing her hips and pulling her towards him "So what were you trying to hide exactly?"
Renesmee trailed her fingers over his chest, following the contours of his muscles "Well sometimes, it was us together just like this." She smiled up at him.
"Hmmm," He breathed, squeezing her body tighter to him. "You wouldn't be trying to distract me, would you?"
Renesmee let out a soft laugh 'Well that depends,' she rose onto her tip toes, taking his bottom lip between her own, sucking and nibbling. 'Is it working?'
"Not sure," He shrugged, bringing one of his hands up to tangle in the hair at the nape of her neck. "Maybe if you show me exactly what you were hiding, it would help.'
"Oh, really?" Renesmee pulled back and smiled up at him. He quirked his eyebrow and nodded.
"Well if you think it will help." She leaned back into him, her hands running slowly up the length of his arms and she felt him shiver under her touch.
Jacob sighed and dropped his head onto her shoulder, the hand that was clamped around her hair fell limp and skimmed down the pink satin of her night dress until he found the curve of her bottom.
Renesmee pushed his hair from his shoulder, trailing her nose from the top of shoulder to the crook of his neck, inhaling deeply where the skin covered his carotid artery.
"You smell so good." She hummed, scraping her bared teeth over the skin and languidly lapped up the tiny droplets of blood that rushed to the surface. A soft tearing noise made her smile as Jacob's fingers tore into her nightwear when he fisted it too tightly. "Taste even better."
At her words Jacob released a guttural growl, his mouth finding hers in an almost violent kiss. He liberated his hold on her clothing, his hands slipping underneath to grip the rounded flesh of her butt and lifting her effortlessly to wrap her legs around him.
A small grunt fell from Renesmee's lips as her back connected with the wall, moaning into his mouth when he ground his hips against hers. The thin material of his sweatpants the only barrier between his rigid cock and her aching core.
"Oh…" She breathed "I guess your distracted? Shit, right there!" Her head thumped against the wall as Jacob rolled his hips again.
'Distracted from what?" He freed a hand from her backside and tugged at her dress, pushing it up to her breasts. Renesmee grabbed the bunched up material and yanked it over head, Jacob taking advantage of her position as his mouth dipped to her nipple, sucking and nibbling as he rolled the other one between his thumb and forefinger.
She squirmed deliciously at his ministrations, the friction caused by their frenetic movement, coiling at the apex of her thighs. "Baby, I think I'm gonna…" Her words were swallowed by Jacob's mouth, and with one final brush of his hard length against her clit, the coil snapped, her head thrown back with a silent scream as wave after wave pulsed through her vibrating body.
Jacob rubbed her stomach soothingly, his hips still rocking gently against hers. "We're not done yet." He span their bodies around and stumbled towards the bed, dropping Renesmee on top of the sheets before ridding himself of his pants.
Renesmee shuffled up the bed, sitting with her back against the head board and watching his muscles flex under his skin. " I thought we weren't done?" She smiled as he watched her from the end of the bed.
He grunted and lunged forward, grabbing her ankle and dragging her down the bed, settling himself in the cradle of her hips. "Not even close." He hissed as her hand slipped between their bodies and gripped his length.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" A voice yelled from outside their door, and Jacob growled in frustration.
"Let's just ignore it." Jacob said as Renesmee released her grip on him. He ran his hand from her thigh to her knee and hooked around his hips, rocking against her.
"Get out here, now!" Renesmee jolted at the sound of Edwards voice and pushed a protesting Jacob off her. She glanced to the floor to locate her discarded night dress.
"I'm sorry baby," She said, kissing him "but something's up. I'll be right back." She pulled the dress over her head and opened the bedroom door.
"What's going on?" She asked, spying her father down the hall, standing at Sarah's door.
"We got us a stray" He hissed, pointing into the room as she stepped into the doorway, her mouth dropping at the sight of her daughter and Seth sitting together on the bed.
"Mom, it's not what it looks like" Sarah held her hands up, her voice pleading.
"I just wanted to talk to her." Seth stood, placing himself slightly in front of her "I just wanted to explain what had happened."
"But you were thinking something completely different!" Edward hissed stepping towards them.
"I wasn't gonna do any…Oh shit!" He swallowed hard as Jacob appeared behind his wife, his body shaking with anger.
"You should start running now!" He hissed at Seth through gritted teeth.
"Let us explain!" Sarah begged; this time it was her stepping in front of Seth, her hands reaching back and holding his waist.
"Come on, Jacob, calm it." Renesmee squeezed his arm "Let's all go downstairs and talk."
"Talk? He won't be saying anything once I've ripped his throat out!" He made to push past his wife, but her equal strength held him back.
"Don't do this, Jake; remember what it was like for us." She reminded him, shooting a glance at her father "We can sort this out rationally, and if it happens again…" Her voice trailed off and she turned to glare at Seth "I will personally castrate him."
"Downstairs." She ordered pushing Jacob aside and remaining firmly in front of him as Sarah dragged Seth past them both and down the stairs "Calm baby." she repeated kissing him quickly, turning to Edward 'We'll deal with this, Dad.' and she pulled Jacob down to the front room.
"Mom…" Sarah started, but Renesmee held her hand up to stop her.
"What were you thinking?" She asked quietly "You know the rules."
"The rules don't exactly apply here." Seth interjected.
"Shut up!" They both shouted simultaneously.
"I know Mom and I'm sorry, I really am but I'm not trying to piss you guys off." she sighed deeply, her shoulders slumping slightly.
Seth grasped her hand and squeezed lightly, attempting to reassure her. She glanced at him and then their joined hands and frowned a little, turning back to her parents. "I'm just trying to understand what's going on here, nothing more."
"Come on, Jake" Seth stood to face him "I was honestly just there to talk to her. Okay, I may have been thinking about other things, but I swear I wasn't going to do anything."
"She's seventeen!" Jacob hissed "You are almost forty!"
"So? Ness was only seven when you got together." Seth frowned.
"That was different and you know it!" His face blushed red.
"I can't help who I imprint on." Seth was pleading "You of all people should understand that?"
"He does," Renesmee stepped in front of Jacob "but that doesn't make it any easier. She's still our little girl, no matter how big or strong she is… and until next month, she is still underage"
"You're not condoning this, are you?" Jacob turned to his wife.
"We don't really have a choice." She shrugged "If we fight it, it will only push them closer. You know I'm right" She squeezed his bicep.
"But you're wrong about the rules, they do apply." She walked towards Seth "She is still a child"
"But…" Sarah began to protest.
"Be quiet, or so help me god I will throw you to your grandfather!" Renesmee raised her eyebrows and turned back to Seth "She is still a child, and although we can't physically be around to stop you every time, I'm going to ask that you try to…curb those feelings, whether she reciprocates them or not, until she has graduated. You are not allowed to be alone in closed room, and you are not allowed to spend the night with her, you must stay in your own room."
Seth nodded and Renesmee leaned closer "And believe me I know how difficult it is, but could you please refrain from any kind of PDA around Jake? I'm not sure I'll always be around to save you."
