Jacob's POV
The morning after the Volturi had been here was one of celebration. I don't remember getting much sleep. It was all a blur of howling, bonfires and laughter. We Quileute's sure knew how to party and I guess we showed that after our little show down. I really think we scared the Vamps by the sheer number of us. It was amazing to feel like you had made a difference for someone else. Knowing you had changed their life (or existence – whatever those vamps do) for the better, and it was even better knowing that I had saved the life of my only reason for living; Nessie. I don't know what I would have done with myself if it wasn't for her. She made everything alright after losing Bella for the final time. Don't get me wrong I still loved Bella, but now it was the right kind of love. A love she could give back to me, the love of a friend.
I found that I was walking back to the Cullens and before I knew it I was standing in their kitchen facing them all except Nessie; who was still asleep. After hugging the women (yes even Blondie – I think we were still riding on some weird high from the day before) and shaking hands with the men, I took a seat at the bench with Bella on my right and Alice on my left.
"Good morning Jacob. Did you have a pleasant night? We could almost hear your celebrations from the house" Carlisle laughed
Everyone joined in "Yeah, it was great"
"We wanted to say on behalf of the Cullen family, thank you for the support your packs have shown us throughout this whole ordeal and we hope that this alliance holds strong even though the Volturi are no longer a threat to us or your people"
"Of course, you watch our backs we watch yours. You vamps are alright… when you get past the smell" I smiled
"You mutts aren't too bad yourself" Jasper joked "You can certainly hold your own in a fight"
The laughter came again. It felt good to laugh; not having done it for a while. Bella started to get up and answering the unspoken questions in my eyes said "Yes Jacob, you may come with me to get Renesmee"
I jumped up and followed her out the door. As I caught up with Bella I could faintly here Esme sighing "He's like a love struck puppy"
And for once I didn't mind the dog jokes.
"Nessie put that down!" I said as she picked up a rather large tree branch. It looked heavy and a girl of her size shouldn't be able to lift that much weight; but I guess that's what having vampire strength does to you. It's been about a month since the Volturi were here and we were starting to get on with our lives. My pack had grown in that time and we now consisted of Seth, Leah, Embry, Quil and I. Life had finally started to turn out normal and I was spending my day with my Nessie. She looked about 4 now and she was beautiful. Her bronze coloured ringlet's fell to the middle of her back and she came up to about the height of my knee. She turned to give me a playful smile and she dropped the branch with a thud. I ran towards her and scooped her up in my arms. I spun her around and had the pleasure of hearing her laugh.
As I put her down she looked up to me and motioned for me to bend down. "Jacob" she whispered. "Yeah Ness" I replied. She looked down at her feet and started to play with the frills on her dress. I started to get worried now; "you alright?" she looked up into my eyes and just nodded. "Honey what's wrong?" she sighed and shook her head, I was really starting to panic when all of a sudden she reached out for my arm, "Tag! Your it!" she squealed. She started bolting away from me, a little faster than the average human, but I didn't care. I was just relieved that she was okay. Boy was she a good actress! It must be a Cullen thing.
We ran until we made it back to the Rabbit. She stopped in front of the passenger side and waited for me to unlock the door. When I had successfully gotten my keys out of my jeans pocket I opened the door up for her and buckled the child restraint. She shot a glare in my direction and I knew it was because she hated the booster chair she was made to sit in; I don't care if she's half vampire, I wasn't taking any chances with my Nessie, "I know Ness, I know. But it'll keep you safe." I said. She stuck her tongue out at me as her reply and I just chuckled to myself as I got into the driver's seat. "Don't give me that look" I laughed, "If the police pulled us over I would get in trouble. You wouldn't want them to take me away would you?" she looked directly at me then and her face became confused, "Grandpa Charlie would never take my Jacob away from me" she said quietly. I turned onto the highway headed towards the Cullen's. Sighing I looked back over to her "He would if I was putting you in danger. So can you be a good girl and wear your belt whenever you get in a car?" she nodded her head her curls coming loose from her ponytail. She smiled at me then and I smiled back.
As we pulled into the drive I noticed Seth's beat up blue truck. I smiled and noticed Nessie did too; everyone loved having Seth around. When I cut the engine I saw that Nessie was already being pulled out of the car by Bella. Edward stood waiting until he too pulled her in for a tight hug. Sighing I closed my door and walked into the house; couldn't they trust me? I mean I know everyone loved Nessie, but when they did stuff like that it made me think they didn't really believe I could protect her well enough, "You know that's not true Jacob, she means everything to us and we're just glad when we have her right here" Edward said answering my thoughts, "Sure, sure" I said as I walked into the Cullen's kitchen. I turned the corner and saw the back of Seth as he sat on a stool and watched as Esme made him something to eat, "Hello Jacob, did you enjoy your day with Renesmee?" she smiled. "Yeah I did actually, we just went and played at the park" I smiled to, thinking how much my life had changed because of one little girl. "How come you don't take me to the park?" Seth pouted, "Sorry man, sign said 'no dogs allowed'" I snickered. Seth cracked a smile and smacked me on the back as I sat on the stool beside him.
Rosalie walked in then, "I thought I could smell something foul" she said scrunching up her perfect nose, I turned and plastered a look of faux horror, "Rosalie" I said with a breath, "that is no way to talk about Esme's cooking". I dodged the bowl that was flung at my head and used Seth as a shield. "No way man, you're on your own" he said as he jumped off the stool and went to help Esme serve up lunch. Laughing I went and put an arm around the psycho's shoulder's, "Naw I love you too Blondie" she flung my arm off and stalked out leaving the broken china splattered all over the floor. When I had picked up all the pieces I dropped them into the bin and then took my plate off Esme, gave her a light peck on the cheek and eagerly started to dig in. Even though she didn't eat any of it, Esme always made the best food. Today she had made lasagne, and it was a silent affair as Seth and I attacked the pasta. I almost licked the plate clean, but I thought Blondie would only pay me out for acting more like a dog.
Seth turned to look at me as we finished washing the dishes, "So man I was thinking of having a bonfire this weekend, with everyone so the elders can tell the ancient stories again" he said and I could tell that this was not a random comment he was making. He had obviously been thinking a lot about it. I shrugged, "Sounds good, Nessie always loves going to La Push" Seth smiled and I think I knew why; the conversation always steered back to Nessie when I was a part of it. "Yeah and she can meet Cassy" I looked at him then and saw he was staring straight ahead, "Who's Cassy?" I asked. Seth got up and walked over to the table and took a seat, "She's my imprint."
I walked over to him and took a seat next him "Why was that so hard to say?" he sighed and looked at me "you're the first person I've told and I'll need your help with telling her about us" he gestured back and forth between us as he said the last part. There was more I could tell, I waited for him to elaborate. Silence. Then I understood, "You said that I was the first person you told, does that mean Leah doesn't know?" Seth had gone completely rigid and I think I knew the answer. "You haven't told her?" Everyone knew about Leah's feelings towards imprinting. Ever since Sam had imprinted on Emily and left Leah heartbroken, she had longed to be free from his pack. When she came to my pack she had loved the freedom, but she still harboured the hurt and the pain that had come from loving Sam. I was brought back to reality by Seth saying "I know man, it's going to be rough. But I was kinda hoping that you could help me out with this one as well" I just stared at him, "You wouldn't have to do much just back me up in case she goes all crazy she-wolf on me." He finished with a nervous laugh. Sighing I said "Sure man I'll help you. After all what are Alpha's for?"
"I want my Jacob!" Nessie screamed. I was just about to get into my car when I heard her desperate outburst. In a matter of seconds I was back in the Cullen's living room and standing before and screaming Nessie and a tried looking Bella and Edward; well as tired as a vampire can look. Edward turned to look at me then and said with an exasperated tone "You can go home Jacob, Nessie is just tired." Doesn't sound like nothing I thought. Sighing Edward took her up in his arms, but she just screamed louder saying "I want my Jacob!" Finally giving up, Edward passed her over to me. Sitting her on my lap she rested her head against me. She was quite almost instantly and when I looked up I saw that both Edward and Bella looked at me with sad eyes. It must be hard to share your daughter with so many people. Everyone wanted their time with Nessie and I can see how annoying that would be for her parents. When she was finally asleep I stood up and went to carry her upstairs but was stopped by a pair of cold hands.
''We've got her Jake. We're going over to the cottage tonight'' Bella whispered. I nodded and tried not to wake her up as I moved her over to Bella. You would think that going from one extreme to another would be enough to wake anybody up, but I guess being passed around from vampire to werewolf your whole life has made her used to that sort of thing. ''Thank you Jake'' she nodded and then turned to give Edward a kiss before heading out the back doors.
''Well I'm off'' I said and gave Edward a wave before turning to leave.
''Goodbye Jacob, we'll see you tomorrow''
