A/N: Here it is...our 2nd fanfic story. We had such a great time writing the first one, we had to keep going. Edward & Bella are going to have a rough ride on this one... If you want to read our other story-we'd love more feedback it's named "So, It's College". Also, we kinda know that Claire is "technically" too young to marry, but we took some poetic license. For all intense and purposes, she's an adult now.

DISCLAIMER: Stephenie Meyers owns these characters. We've only borrowed them for this story.

WINDS OF CHANGE

It's been 10 years since Breaking Dawn. The Cullen family all moved to a town just outside Seattle because Renesmee's growth would have been too obvious to the people of Forks. Jacob moved with them to be near her. Nessie is now all grown up and going to college. She and Jacob have moved their relationship to a new level. Now Jacob is ready for a permanent change but will it be the change Nessie was expecting or will it throw her world upside down and take her parents' relationship down with it? And most of all, will Bella and Edward's relationship survive?

Chapter 1

Nessie's POV

Spring is finally here. I can sense the changes in the weather as well as the life that surrounds our little cabin that resembles our house back in Forks. Flowers are blooming, trees and leaves are growing. It's exciting to be able to sense these changes. I know that Jacob smells them too. Especially while in his wolf form. It was a Wednesday afternoon. I was in my living room with a slow fire burning. Not because I was cold, but because soothed me. Mom and Dad were in spending time with Carlisle and Esme, my Grandfather and Grandmother at their house. Although those are their names, I only addressed them as the latter. Grandfather wants to plan a trip to the Amazon to visit Zafrina and the others. He felt we were long overdue for our promised visit. "There is still much to be learned about Nessie and others like her. We owe it to her to be sure we've left no stone unturned." He had said. So mom and dad agreed –apparently we are scheduled to go next week. I was really looking forward to it. I was concerned originally that they wouldn't approve of Jake coming along, but mom more than dad, seemed happy about it.

Suddenly a burst of air entered the room, I knew immediately from the scent he was there. I turned, dazed from staring into the burning embers, to see the face of the man I love looking back at me. I smiled wide and reached out for him to join me on the couch. "How's my girl doin' today?" And he leaned in with a soft warm kiss. "Hi sweetie, how are you?" Instead of letting him move away, I pulled him in for another long kiss. Jacob was so gentle for a man of almost 7 feet tall. His height was equaled with his sheer mass but every part of him was tender. Our relationship was the one thing I knew would never falter. He spent my early years caring for me watching out for me, like a big brother. As I grew and matured, our friendship turned to something much more. I'll never forget when that changed…

Flashback: It was a year ago. Late winter.

We had spent the holidays with our family here at our house in Forks. Simultaneously, everyone in LaPush was getting ready to celebrate Quil and Claire's wedding. Jacob was scrambling to get himself organized. Being the best man was hard for him. Although it was the happiest of occasions, he knew there was a ton of responsibilities. As the Alpha of his pack, he was a great leader and had no doubts in his convictions. As a best man, things were less obvious and scattered. There was holding onto the rings (he was constantly making sure he didn't lose them), the toast (he was so nervous and had no idea what to say) and the Bachelor Party. "Ness, I'm lost, please help me? I have no idea what to say in this stupid speech." I patted his arm gently. We were sitting in his old living room. Billy was off somewhere with Grandpa. "Don't worry Jake, we'll work on something" "Yeah but it has to sound like me, not you, otherwise they'll all know." I smirked a bit at that "promise, it'll be totally "Jacob" nothing else." He seemed relieved for the moment. Then his phone rang. I guessed it was Embry by the way the conversation went. "Yeah, I'm working on it. Nessie's gonna help me. No don't worry I won't. Oh yeah, I forgot. Where do you think we should go? Temptations? Really?! Do you think Claire will be ok with that? Alright, alright, yeah, no problem. No sounds fine. Tomorrow night, yeah ok…see you then." And he hung up. What was that all about? I mean I could tell he was talking about the speech at first, but then Temptations? That was the strip club in Port Angeles. Why was he talking…oh! Ugh, that must be the Bachelor Party. I thought for a moment and could feel myself getting annoyed. Why did it bother me so much? It's just a bunch of topless girls dancing. Quil would never do anything to hurt Claire, nor Embry to Kim. But why was it still bugging me?
