A/N: This is my first twilight story and it's a little tricky because I'm writing Chapter 1 in Edward's POV and its harder then I thought so, if it's not exactly right I'm sorry.

Slowly Risen
Chapter One
Edward's POV
It was one year after we'd proven the Volturi wrong about Renesmee and things were pretty calm. Bella, Renesmee, and I left from the cottage to go to the big house as we did every day and when we got there, Emmett brought up about going on an extended hunting trip. Carlisle and Esme didn't think that, that would be that bad an idea; we were all a little tired of the same prey around Forks.
"Come on, Edward I know you and Bella are craving some mountain lions." Emmett said to me as I sat on the couch trying to plan this out
"I don't see how this could be a bad idea" Bella murmured
"Hm, neither do I" I said
"Oh, can we please, dad!" Renesmee said getting excited
I smiled at Renesmee's excitement "Well, I don't see why not" I said
"Will it really be all of us going?" Alice asked
"Of course, think of it more as a vacation" Emmett said
"As long as we aren't around too many humans" Jasper cautioned
"Nah, somewhere less crowded with human life and better prey" Emmett explained
"Any idea where?" Rosalie asked
"Not yet, I wanted to run it by all of you first before I really started looking" Emmett said
"Sounds good to me" I said
An extended hunting trip sounded like a very pleasant experience for Renesmee. We didn't usually do anything big with the whole family. Not only would this be a good experience for Renesmee but, I couldn't pass up a hunting trip when it included mountain lions.
"So, this is a definite thing then?" Bella asked
"Most likely. I just have to look up places for the trip and then we can set the date." Emmett said
"This will be fun!" Renesmee said cheerfully
Not too far away from the house, I heard a motorcycle as it took every winding turn of the mansion's long driveway. Jacob was on his way here.
"We'll discuss this further later" Carlisle said as the motorcycle got closer
A few minutes later Carlisle opened the door and Jacob came in.
"Jacob!" Renesmee said
"Hi, Nessie" Jacob said
"Good Afternoon, Jacob" I said
"Hey, Edward" Jacob said to me
"Hey, Jake" Bella said
"Hi, Bells" Jacob said then walked over and picked Renesmee up to give her a hug "I swear, Nessie you get bigger every time I see you"
Renesmee laughed at Jacob's comment and then put her hand on his face. A few minutes later Jacob switched Renesmee onto his shoulders. Renesmee evidently wanted Jacob to give her a ride on his back.
"Ok, Nessie, piggy-back ride it is" Jacob said then turned to both Bella and I "May I?" He asked
Bella directed her attention to me and I nodded in agreement.
"Go ahead, Jake" Bella replied
After Bella and I had given Jacob permission he started running with Renesmee on his back. Watching Jacob run with Renesmee on his back reminded me of when I used to do the same with Bella. I smiled at the thought and Bella gave me a puzzled look.
"Watching Jacob run with Nessie on his back reminded me of when I'd do that with you" I said to Bella, my voice so low no one but Bella could hear.
After I'd explained my smile to Bella she smiled at the thought as well. It was nice to think about past memories once and awhile.
"I'll be back" Emmett said as he walked swiftly out of the room
"Where's he going?" I heard Bella ask me quietly
"Emmett is going to go research possible hunting areas for our 'vacation' "I said using our mild term for the trip
"Oh. Well he did say he wanted to run it by us first."
I nodded in response. Even though I was positive the trip was really going to happen, I still wasn't sure how we were going to tell Jacob about the trip considering, he still refused to be away from Renesmee for long. Perhaps, Jacob would suggest on going with us. I pondered this for awhile. I decided I would ask Carlisle about it later.
I watched Carlisle walk upstairs and into his office; his thoughts said he was alone for the moment. I chose this as the proper time to ask him about Jacob. I walked upstairs and stopped in front of the office's door. I knocked only once before I heard Carlisle say "please come in, Edward." I walked into the office and already had Carlisle's full attention.
"What is it, Edward?" he said
"Well, I was just considering Emmett's trip idea. I know this trip will be good for the family but, what about Jacob?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, because of Jacob's imprinting business he can't stay away from Renesmee for long and, if we're going to be gone for a few weeks or so"
"As you well know, Jacob is part of the family now as well so, I suppose he could come with us if he wishes."
"That's what I was thinking but, I wanted to run it by you first." I said
"Thank you for asking but, I'm sure you already knew I'd agree with him going if he asked."
"Yes, but I know it is polite to ask before I assume."
Carlisle nodded in agreement. After discussing the Jacob situation with Carlisle I decided to go find Jacob himself and tell him about the possible trip. I listened to Jacob's thoughts and found he was outside with Renesmee, Bella, and Alice. I walked outside and was greeted in unison by Bella and Alice while, Renesmee simply ran over to me. Renesmee's growth speed was still rather fast but its pace had slowed down as promised. Carlisle still did his measurements for her but he limited them to about twice a day now that, he knew her pace was slowing down. I picked Renesmee up and gave a quick hug than, sat her back down on her feet. I walked over to where Jacob was and saw Bella staring at me confused.
"Jacob, may I speak with you for a few minutes in private?" I asked
"Sure, Edward"
I lead him into the house and then into the kitchen. Nobody was in the kitchen right now so, I figured this to be a suitable place.
"What is it?" Jacob asked concerned
"Emmett has planed for us all to go on an extended hunting trip with the whole family. We're going somewhere with better prey and less human life. We're not sure how long we'll be gone for since, you are part of my family now you are welcome to join us."
"I hate the thought of being away from Nessie but, I haven't a choice in the matter really. I don't think I can go to far from La Push incase something big breaks out and the pack needs me. So, I appreciate the offer but, I'm gonna have to say no."
"Very well then. We're not sure when we'll leave yet so, you can spend plenty of time with Renesmee still."
"Thanks for letting me know, Edward"
"Of course, Jacob."
After that we both walked outside and saw Bella, Alice, and Renesmee looking at us with the same confused look on there faces. When, Jacob was close enough he picked Renesmee up and she pushed her hand to his face immediately. I walked over and stood beside Bella.
Why did you need to talk to Jacob alone? Alice thought to me
I was explaining to Jacob a bout our extended hunting trip. I thought back to Alice which, I knew she'd be able to predict with her ability to see into the future. I would explain the same to Bella later.
When Renesmee had fallen asleep Bella and I decided to take her back to our cottage to put her to bed. We told everyone we'd see them tomorrow and than ran home. After Renesmee was in bed Bella came over to me.
"So, why'd you need to talk to Jake alone today?" Bella asked me
"I was telling Jacob about the trip and I asked him he wanted to come along and he respectably declined." I explained to her
"Oh. Well that was very nice of you to invite him."
"Well he is part of our family as well now."
"Yes he is."
