1She was growing so fast. Days blurred into weeks, weeks blurred into months, months blurred into years. Nessie had reached as old as she would get, 14 years old. She just stopped one day, not getting older, not getting younger. I feared for her with all my heart, my daughter shouldn't have to forever be so young, she should live a normal life, the life I took from Bella.

She was beautiful though, simply stunning for a little girl. She acted older than she was, much older, she was an old soul, just like Bella and I. We had to move around a lot, since she was stuck forever at 14, she could only move up the grades so much before she was pushing her age. We moved from Forks after she stopped aging and now we put a residence in New York, in the winter it was dark enough for us to go outside during the day. She was in 9th grade, and absolutely loved it. High School was hardly a worry for her, she enjoyed school, more than any teenager I had ever seen.

I was amazed by her, she was my complete opposite. She talked excessively and her list of friends were endless. She fit in with humans perfectly, never bothered by her difference. She was like your normal teenage girl, her little sidekick I got her in a pouch on her hip and her laptop in her backpack. Their was one boy that she couldn't get enough of, and one day I noticed it in her eyes when she talked about him, they sparkled at the thought of him.

Bella was out hunting and I decided it was time to spend some more quality time with my daughter so I staid home, sitting on the couch and waiting to hear her bus pass the drive way. I saw it go by and went to the door, following it down the street. I watched as she hopped off the bus, 6 kids following her. My enlightened hearing let me hear their exact conversation.

'Oh lord you have no idea, if I had to sit their and listen to Murphy for another 10 seconds about how her son is doing in kindergarten, I was going to jump out the second story window!'

Her friends laughed and Nessie's eyes found mine down the road, I saw her smile slightly before turning back to her friends.

'I love you guys, but my dad is being patiently waiting for me down the road, don't get killed on your way home.'

I watched as they all hugged her tightly, except for one. Her best friend, the boy who's name made her eyes shine, Jimmy. He waited by her side, giving out his own hugs good-bye. He always spent the afternoon at our house, they did everything together. He was a nice boy, well mannered. Nessie turned back to him and extended her hand, taking his.

'Skipping time!'

He laughed and she dragged him along, skipping as best he could beside her, both of them belting out some new song I have never heard of. I smiled to myself, but my eyes stayed locked on their joined hands. They reached me and Nessie flew into my arms and I kissed her hair, secretly peaking at their hands which were still locked together.

"How as school you two?"

"Great dad, I threw pudding at Matt Sudman though, he wouldn't leave me alone."

"You didn't miss I hope?"

"Nope, he needs to get window-wipers installed on his glasses now." I chuckled slightly.

"That's my girl." Jimmy grinned as we walked back towards the house. I ease dropped on his thoughts, I just had to know.

'I should have beat the living shit out of him.'

The jealousy and frustration was obvious in his thoughts and I suppressed the smile that threatened my lips, love was in the air. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, it was going to happen sooner or later, like it did to Bella and I. My daughter loved Jacob, but never as much as he wanted her to, but he understood that, and still he always looked after her and spent as much time as he could with her. I peeked again at their hands when we reached the house, still together, just as I thought.
