I knew he was there before I even opened my eyes. He was always there. Even before I was born I could sense his presents. It wasn't long after I was born that I truly understood the bond between us. Why he could barely stand to leave my side, or why I absolutely adored him.

"Jacob," I stretched and opened my eyes to see him towering over my bed, wearing an elated expression. I couldn't help but smile back at his optimism. There wasn't a time I could remember when I wasn't perfectly content around Jacob. It just felt natural..

"'Morning Nessie," He said, pulling me from my thoughts- not to mention out of my bed to give me one of his bone crunching bear hugs..

"Jakeee!" I squeaked.

"Oh, sorry!," He said, releasing me.

"Where is everyone?" I asked, suddenly realizing the absents of any other movement in the cottage.

"Birthday Shopping," He beamed, "Let's just say you're going to be the most spoiled five-year-old in the world tomorrow."

"Ugh, I told them not to make a big deal out of this!" I complained.

My words made Jake start laughing, "You sound just like Bella, and plus, you know how your crazy aunts get." He said, referring to Alice and Rose.

I knew he was right. Every year since I was born, Daddy and the rest of our family would go to extremes when it came to Momma's birthday. Of course, when that time came around, she would be happy with whatever she received, that still didn't stop her from bickering for weeks before the event. They were sadly mistaken if they thought I wouldn't do the same when my special day came around.

"Jake, it makes me feel weird when you call me a five-year-old." I said through a frown.

"It's only the truth." He pointed out.

"Yeah, yeah,'" I said.

Every time someone pointed out my age, it made me picture the immature kids I see on T.V or when I'm out shopping with Alice. I knew I was well beyond my years. Daddy had sat me down to explain my genetics soon after our dispute with the Voltori. In just a couple more short years I would be fully matured and beautiful- just like the rest of my immortal family. The thought made me smile.

"So, what should we do first today?" He asked.

"Maybe I should start with getting dressed," I said.

"Alright, I'll be in the living room," He laughed as he walked out of my bedroom.

I pulled on a pair of jeans and a dark-red blouse, then quickly skipped out of my room.

"Better?" Jake asked me.

"Much better," I smiled, " Whatever we do, we're staying away from the house. I don't want to even think about what Alice and Rose have been doing around there all day."

" Sounds good to me." Jake said, " Let's go for a run." He grabbed my hand and led me to the front door.

We ran several miles into the forest before I stopped in front of the small lake we had discovered just a few months after I was born. I turned around just in time to see Jacob pounce. I laughed as we both tumbled to the ground.

"Gotcha," Jake laughed.

"I don't think so," I said, while trying to break free of the hold he had around my waist.

He still wouldn't let me go as he walked over to the lakes edge and sat down- with me in his lap. As we sat there, I realized it was an extremely clear day for Forks. I held out my hand and moved it around so it sparkled a little in the sunlight. I looked up at Jake and for the first time in my whole life, everything felt different. I looked deep into Jakes eyes, and suddenly, all I could focus on was him. I slowly stretched my hand to touch his forehead- this was one of those moments where I couldn't explain my thoughts with just words. After a minute, Jake smiled and slowly leaned down and kissed me for the first time...

I know there's not much here, but I wanted to get everyone's opinion before I continued. This is my first fanfic story, so I hope you all enjoy what I have so far! Review this please! :D
