Renesmee POV

My first ever day of school is today. I am now 7 but am not going to grow anymore so I can finally start going to school. Joy. If I could get away with it I would simply not go. Unfortunately for me, if anyone accidently found out about me Grandma and Grandpa would get in huge trouble. Oh well.

Really it wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for Mom. She is a wee bit overprotective. For some bizarre reason she thinks that I am going to be wooed by some dweeby human boy. As if. How could I be when I have gorgeous, funny, sweet Jacob? God, I even made myself puke a little with that one.

"Mom," I called across the house, "where is my favorite shirt? You know, the blue one that goes with the white lace cami?"

"Oh, I think it's in the laundry room," she called back.

"Can you go get it?" I asked her. There was an awkward pause.

"Erm, I'm a little busy at the moment." I groaned as I realized what they were doing. Seriously, they'd been married for 7 years. Shouldn't they have gotten over it by now?

Still grumbling to myself I threw on a robe and walked to the laundry room to get it.

About 20 minutes later I was ready. I skipped out to the garage. In spite of myself I was starting to get excited. Of course I fell flat as soon as I walked into the garage. I had gotten a Mustang at about 6 and was looking forward to driving myself today. But, when I walked into the garage it became apparent my mom had made other plans.

All the other cars were gone except for mine. Mom was the only one left in the garage. "I thought we could ride together," she said, looking at me with puppy dog eyes.

"Well I guess I don't have much choice in the matter, do I?" I mumbled back. I hopped in the driver's seat and she slid in next to me. I put the key in the ignition and we started going down the driveway and out onto the open road.

She looked at me sheepishly. "Sorry," she said apologetically, "I know you really don't want to ride with me but I wanted a chance to talk to you alone before your first day."

I was annoyed. I wasn't quite ready to forgive her yet but when she looked at me like that it was hard to resist. "It's ok," I said grudgingly, "So what do you want to talk to me about?"

"I know you'll hate me for this but it's about guys." I nodded. I had seen this one coming. Now all I had to do was wait it out. "Ok, so you know the story about when your Father left me." I nodded again. What in the world was she playing at? I knew Jake wouldn't leave me and was pretty sure she knew that too.

"Go on," I encouraged her. Now I was curious.

"You know that Jake patched me up during that time and that he and I became best friends. But, we edited."

"Edited?" I repeated suspiciously.

"Yes. You see Jake and I fell in love with each other," she said these last words in a rush like she was hoping I wouldn't hear them.

I was speechless. How come they hadn't told me this sooner? I think I had plenty of right to know given that I'm practically his wife. And did Dad know. I mean he must but who knows. Still lost for words I put a hand on hers. My thoughts flowed into her head and she sighed.

"Edward was right. Typical," she muttered under her breath. Then she addressed me. "Honey, its Jake and my fault we didn't tell you sooner. Jake and I were concerned it would affect your relationship badly and you would never get past it. And yes your Dad knows. That said I want you to be open to having other relationships in school before you actually are married to him."

"What?" I spluttered. "One minute you're saying you were afraid Jake and mines relationship wouldn't work out then you're telling me to see other guys."

"Yes. You see falling in love with Jake wound up making me and your Dads love stronger. I realized that as much as I loved Jake I loved Edward more and that made all the difference. Before I had never experienced loving anyone else so I didn't appreciate what your Dad and I had as much as I did after the fact. Jake agrees with me just so you know."

"So you and Jake aren't still in love right." I figured I knew the answer but I had to make sure.

"Right. As soon as he saw you for the first time all of his affection was turned toward you and I was set free."

This made me feel better. I know it's stupid to be jealous of your own Mom, but I couldn't help it.

I hadn't noticed how fast we were traveling. At this point we were already in the parking lot. I could see the rest of my family waiting for us. "Thanks Mom," I said before we got out of the car.

"Oh, you're welcome sweetie. I love you."

We both started walking towards the school, me with a new spring in my step. Somehow it made me feel better to know that I could have the normal high school experience. To date and maybe even fall in love. Still I knew that it would have nothing on what Jake and I had and that made it all the sweeter.
