Renesmee begins to stir.
"Hey beautiful, you awake?"
A slow smile starts to spread across Renesmee's face. "I am now Jake." Renesmee rolls over to face Jacob Black, her long time friend and more recently her boyfriend. "We should probably get back to our houses before everyone wakes up and mom and dad get back from their hunting trip…" she said as a frown replaced her smile.
Jacob Black looks over his beautiful, now teenage looking, Renesmee. "Are we ever going to tell them? Considering…" Jacob trailed off.
Renesmee put her hand over her stomach, where, though not yet visible through the slightly baggy hoodie she normally wears, she could feel the slight indentation protruding from her stomach. She sighed. "We really should tell them… but I don't want them to get upset with you… I love you Jake and I don't want them to get over protective and kill you…"
"Its more than that isn't it… you are afraid that it'll spark off another incident with the Volturi…"
"No… and yes… it's just that eight years later and I'm still terrified by the experience…" Renesmee dropped her head, and a cascade of bronze curls drop over her face. She has grown up a lot in those eight years, with a full feminine figure and that same little half smirk of her fathers; she was every girls dream to be at her high school, and in guys' causes, just their dream.
"They won't get you, or our child," Jacob said, "Not without a fight." He gets up to sit behind Renesmee and wraps his arms around her waist, their fingers intertwining with each other over their unborn child. "Everything will work out, my love; I won't say anything unless you do. I don't want to make a move till you are ready…"
"I know… I feel awful about keeping this a secret from them, but I just get so nervous and stressed that I can barely move…" Renesmee cuddles up to Jake more as she starts to shake a little.
Jacob sighs, and then a slow smile spreads across his face. "Well, I know something that destresses you every time," He said in a joking tone as he nuzzled his head into her neck.
Renesmee gasps and starts to giggle. "You are SUCH a hound."
"You know it beautiful," Jacob said as he lifted his head slightly. "Come on, we need to leave," He continued through a line of kisses starting at Renesmee's shoulder, up her neck, and finally ending just below her lips.
"You are such a tease," Renesmee pouted all the while trying to fight a smile.
Jake looks back down at her… his eyes seeming torn between continuing that line of physical contact and the need to get back to the reservation before Edward and Bella got back from their hunting trip. "Come on, Renesmee, you need another person to talk to about it since we are the only ones who know, and we can't keep hiding from Edward forever. He's bound to run into one of us or one of my pack eventually. And when he does he is bound to find out."
Renesmee sighs. "Let's talk to Alice first… At the very least she can convince Jasper to keep me calm when I talk to mom and dad…"
"Are you sure? If you're not ready then we don't have to…"
Renesmee struggles over the decision for a minute and says, "No I'm not sure, but the waiting is the worst part of all of this and like you said, I need someone else to talk to about this…"
"Ok… just tell me when and I'll be there if you want me," Jacob said as he reached down to kiss Renesmee.
"I'll always want you," Renesmee whispered as she cuddled closer to Jacob, eagerly returning his kiss. After a few minutes Renesmee lets out a sigh and says, "I'm going to call Alice now… lets meet her at the diner down the street…"
"Here's your phone…" Jacob said, "are you sure you want to go through with this? We can wait if you want, there's no shame in it."
"No it has to be done… And Alice will be able to help us the most…" Renesmee bit her lip, closed her eyes and opened the phone and dialed Alice's number…
