Jacob's POV
Where were they? They should have been home by now. They were never late and if they were Nessie would have called me to tell me. I lie back down and rested my head on my paws. I let out a whimper and was greeted by several snickers.
What's the matter Jake? Can't go without your precious imprintee for five minutes? Jared teased me. I snorted at his comment and rolled my eyes.
No I'm just a little worried is all.
Well can you stop worrying for two minutes long enough to run border with me?
I guess so. Where are you now?
A few miles west of Emily's place.
Okay I'll be there in a few.
What I thought would take a few minutes actually took a few hours. By the time I returned to the Cullen's house the sun had almost set and the lights cast a yellow glow out the windows. I hurried into the bushes after wishing the pack good night. I changed and walked up to the porch. Carlisle was waiting for me by the door a grim look on his face.
"What's wrong?" I asked suddenly desperate to see Nessie.
"I think it would be best if you came by later Jacob. Nessie's already asleep and Bella doesn't want to wake her." I thought about this for a minute and shook my head.
"I know you're lying. I can hear Nessie's heartbeat and it's not slower like it is when she's sleeping."
"Jacob it really would be best if you left for the night." Edward walked up behind Carlisle and stood beside him.
"If this has something to do with Nessie please tell me." Please Edward. As much as I know you don't like the situation, please tell me.
"It's difficult to explain…" Edward started but I cut him off.
"Try me."
"Renesmee is different now." He stopped mid-sentence when a loud thump came from upstairs. He tilted his head as if listening to a conversation. "She doesn't want me to tell you."
"And by 'she' do you mean Bella or Nessie?"
"I mean you should go home to La Push and let Renesmee have time to sort it out. Your father is really starting to miss you. He was hoping that after Bella was changed you'd go home."
"Don't try to guilt trip me into leaving. I need to see her." I tried to push past him but it was like trying to run through a rock. I gave up once I realized I wasn't going to see her tonight. "Fine but tell her I'm not going to be gone too long. I'm just going to go home and change my clothes and see my dad."
I started to walk away but Edward called to me. I turned to face him.
"Renesmee is having a really difficult time right now Jacob. What she needs now more than ever is time and understanding."
"And why don't you think I could understand?"
"Because I've seen the thoughts in your head. She's absolutely perfect to you and you don't want that to change, but I can tell you things are never going to be the same ever again." He turned and walked back into the house shutting the glass door with a sense of finality. I turned away and changed into my wolf form before heading home.
