Nessie and Jacob The Next Chapter
Chapter 1 - Hard Times
Renesmee
The sound of leather and paper being gripped unnaturally hard snapped me out of my day dream. I looked up to see my Dad put his book down and get up out of his seat quickly, he walked over to my Mom and gave her a squeeze round the waist
" I'm off to the big house love. " He gave me a quick glance " See you later Nessie." Opps.
My Mom came and sat next to me and patted my knee.
" Sorry, I try so hard not to think about it but he just pops into my head every time I let my guard down." I said. I looked at her beautiful face and felt soothed by her expression. " Its hard for both of you. You try hard not to think it, he tries hard not to hear it!" She let out a laugh that sounded like wind chimes, " Every Dads worst nightmare, being able to hear their hormonal daughters thoughts! He'll be fine Nessie, Edward understands."
I decided to go for a walk. I pulled on my coat, it was my new one that my aunt Alice had brought round for me with the rest of my new fall wardrobe. It was a deep blue and naturally designer. I didn't usually wear a coat because I run a little warmer than the average human, but it was unseasonably cool for early October and it had been snowing. As soon as my face hit the cool air I felt better.
The last few months had been hard on us all. First there was the move. We had to leave Forks, Washington because people were starting to notice that the Cullens hadn't aged. It was also getting hard to hide me. I grew so quickly it was decided that I would be home schooled. I was content with this as I loved my family and learnt so much from all of them! I was the size of any 18 year old girl but I was actually only 6. I was intellectually a match for most of my family, sparing my Carlise and my father.
We had relocated to a small town on the outskirts of Dakota. Carlise had got a job at the hospital.
Esme had found a huge house in the hills which she lived in with Carlise, Alice and Jasper. My Aunt Roselie and Emmett had their own dwellings in the grounds, as did my family. It had worked out better us all having our own space but still being close enough to each other to be able to get together every day.
We all called Esmes house The Big House and Roselies The Palace due to Roses tendency to over do things. Our house was nick named The Cottage. I think my Mom wanted to bring as much of Forks with her. She was sad to leave, mainly because it meant leaving my Pappy Charlie behind. I don't know what she was worried about, he must have built up some air miles already the amount he visited.
Jacob had relocated with us leaving his pack behind. This made him sad but of course he could not leave me, thank goodness for that. He was still able to talk to the pack every day when he changed into a wolf.
The hardest thing for everyone was that I was now as physically mature as I would ever be. I had not grown for the last 9 weeks and Carlise was certain that I had reached the end of my rapid growth spirt. I was relived, I had never felt like a child and it had annoyed me to look like one and even worse to be treated like one.
The biggest change had been my feeling towards Jacob. Jacob loved me more than anyone ever could. As I grew he protected me, when I was upset he listened to me moan, held me when I cried out of anger. He had sat besides me through all the chick films I knew he hated. He had spent hours listening to my ever expanding play lists even though he couldn't tell the difference between the bands. He was my protector and my best friend. This is where the biggest problem lied. Over the last few months I had started to look at Jacob differently, want him in a completely new way. I knew I was ready for a boyfriend rather than a friend. Of course this was in my thoughts a lot, and sometimes Dad caught a glimpse of my day dreams which made him really uncomfortable, not to mention it had embarrassed the hell out of me. My Mom had seen the change and had began to realise what was going on. As Mom always did she took it on the chin like a champ. Soothing me and Dad all at the same time.
Now all of this was a huge inconvenience but not the biggest problem. My biggest problem was getting Jacob to see me in a girlfriend way rather than in a child way. This was proving way harder than I had of though it would have been.
I was just on my way back to the cottage when I picked up a smell of car oil and wood, the best smell in the world, Jacob. My super hearing picked up the sound of four paws hitting the hard ground at great speed. I turned my body to the direction of the sound and there he was, bounding out of the trees. He stopped right in front of me and let his tongue hang out of the side of his mouth. Even in his wolf form he could make my stomach flip over. " Hey Jacob, how was hunting?" I waited for a reply that couldn't come. Jacob laid down, I knew the drill, I climbed onto his back and we ran home to the cottage at a speed that made my eyes water.
Once back at the cottage Jacob dropped me off then went round the back to were his cloths were. I was debating following when heard my Dad clear his throat on the porch. " Hey Dad, ummm, I'm really sorry about earlier, I'll try to reign in it I promise"
He sat on the bottom step of the porch and patted the empty space next to him, I sat down.
" Nessie, you are my daughter and the love I feel for you is unexplainable. Your mother and I feel so proud of the way you have turned out. You are kind and caring, smart and funny and much more besides. You will always be our baby, but as you have been showing me in your thoughts of late" I felt a hot flush under my skin when he said this
" You are not a child any more. Bella said that you feel guilty about making me feel uncomfortable?" I looked at him, I loved my Dad and loved talking to him about everything, geography, english, maths but not this, not Jacob. I put my hand on his face to show him what I was thinking, he smiled with one half of his mouth and kissed me on the forehead " Aahh Nessie, I don't want to dissect your feelings for Jacob with you! I just wanted you to know that I understand, I'm not mad. I will also be making much more of an effort not to hear what your thinking!" He said this with a laugh but I could tell he was serious. " After all, I remember dealing with your mothers human hormones….."
I jumped up " Ok Dad, that's where I check out, way to much information." I touched his face and showed him me feeling sick and left him laughing on the step.
Chapter 2 - How to Flirt with Ware wolf
I was already settled on the sofa when Jacob came in already dressed.
" Hey Bells, Pops!" A growl came deep from my Dads chest, Jacob knew just how to wind him up. He dropped down next to me and put his arm around my shoulder and rested his head on top of mine.
" Whatcha reading Nessie?" He was looking at the pages of my book but I could tell he wasn't really interested. I closed the book and laid it down.
" Nothing really, what do you want to do Jake? I'm bored, Dad made me do 3 hours of human biology when you were running!"
" To be honest kid I'm kind of whacked" To confirm this he let out a huge yawn. I knew I had to act fact, Jacob could fall asleep at the drop of a hat no matter where he was! He often crashed on the sofa instead of making it to his room which was situated in the attic of the cottage, far enough away from my room to keep Dad relaxed.
I walked over to Mum who was in the chair on the other side of the room. I raised my eyebrows at her which after 6 years of practice she knew meant I wanted to talk to her without Dad hearing. A dimple appeared between her eyebrows as she concentrated, I felt her bubble around us, he couldn't hear my thoughts now. I put my hand on her face and showed her Jacob and me in the house alone. Mum nodded to show she understood. She paused for a moment and looked at my face, she smiled at me and stroked the side of my cheek.
" I love you baby girl." I felt her bubble retract back
" Love, shall we hunt? I feel a little thirsty." Dad looked at her a little confused. He then looked at me but I was converting the first chapter of my new book into Latin to keep my mind busy. He went to speak but obviously thought better for it. He took Moms hand and off they went.
" They went hunting yesterday didn't they?" Jacob said sleepily
" Maybe they want to be, you know alone."
"Oh, eeww, gross Ness!"
He rested his head down again and let his eyes close. Right this was it I was going to say something.
"Jake?"
"Hmmmmm"
'Do you love me?"
"Nessie you know I love you, more than anything." He was half asleep
"How do you love me Jacob?" My voice cracked a bit giving away how nervous I was. Jacob looked up at me with those huge black eyes and I shivered.
" What do you mean Nessie? You know that as soon as I imprinted on you that I was tied to you forever. So I guess I love you more than anyone has ever loved any one in the whole of the world." He looked at me, hoping this was the answer I wanted, whatever Jacob wanted he always put second to what I wanted. Jacob would walk to the end of the earth over hot coals if he thought that would make me happy.
" I know that Jacob. What I mean is do you love me like Carlise loves Alice or do you love me like Emmett loves Rose?" I couldn't meet his eyes, I was the color of beetroot and my heart was pounding so hard I could hear it in my ears.
Jacob sat up and turned his body towards mine. He put his big hand under my chin and gently brought my face up so I had to look at him. He sighed a big heart felt sigh
" Nessie, how anyone loves Rose is beyond me!" He let out a loud laugh and let the laughter continue until a tear slide down his cheek. All I could do was stare at him in utter disbelief. Here I was trying to pour my heart out to him and all he could do was make jokes about my family. I got up and stormed out of the front door and ran towards the woods. I pushed my legs as fast as I could but this was still no match for Jacob even on only two legs. I felt his hot hand grip my arm and spin me round to face him.
" Sorry, sorry, I couldn't help it!" He was still grinning at me. I pouted my sulkiest pout and folded my arms across my chest. Jacob knocked my legs out and caught me
" Lets do this inside, the snow is coming again." I didn't resist I laid my head against his chest and let him take me home.
" I love you Jacob Black. Not in the way I love anyone else. I'm in love with you….." Jacob set me down on the porch and opened the door for me. I walked in and sat at the table. Jacob looked at me for a moment
" Nessie how old are you?" I could see where he was going with this and rolled my eyes, this was going to be way harder than I thought. I got up off my chair and walked towards him, every part of me was telling me to stop and sit down, not to embarrass myself but I pushed myself to go over to him. I stood toe to toe with him and looked up at him, I even gave my eye lashes a flutter,
" Jacob, you know how old I am. You also know how old I am physically now. I have not grown in 9 weeks so this as mature as I'm going to get. If you don't want me like this then you're never going to want me are you?" I let my hands gesture to my body as I talked. It was Jacobs turn to blush now. He turned his back on me and walked over to the window.
" Nessie, you've only just become this way, you need more time. What's your rush, we've got forever?" He turned to me and the look on his face was one I was not expecting, he looked pained, like I was hurting him some how.
' Jacob, I have been thinking about you this way for months, I've been ready for ages I just didn't know how to bring it up." Again I put on my best pout, not the best way to prove my maturity.
" I need to think this through ok? You shocked me. I thought maybe in a few years but not yet" He was holding my hands in his now
" So you have thought about it then" I said with triumph in my voice
" NO!! Well yes but not like that, just the time factor. I would wait a thousand years for you Nessie a million if that's what you needed!" I sighed with annoyance.
" Jake that's what I'm saying, you don't have to wait, I don't want to wait. I want you and me to be together properly like a couple, I'm not a kid anymore…" He cut me off
" For 9 weeks Nessie, you may be ready but I'm going to need a little more time to make the transistion. Ok?" His voice softened towards the end and he bent his knees to look at me in the eyes. I felt so rejected, he didn't want me. I felt a stinging in my eyes, he saw a tear on my cheek and pulled me into a tight hug and let me cry it out, he had taken on the best friend role again.
When Mum and Dad got back my eyes were still puffy. Dad ran straight over to me " What's wrong? What happened? Oh!" Dad calmed as soon as he picked up on Jacobs thoughts. He seemed slightly smug at them in fact, Jacob must not want me at all to warrant that smug look on his face. Dad heard that and shot me a look, his eyes sympothised with me. That was it I had to get out. " I'm going to The Palace!" Jacob got up to come with me " ALONE!!" I let the door slam behind me.
Chapter 3 - If anyone knows how to be sexy its Rose
" Hey kiddo!!" Emmett shouted half turning his head away from the games console he was playing on
" What's up? You look like you lost ten bucks and found a dime!"
I looked around the huge living room
" Where's Auntie Rose?" Then I saw her floating down the stairs like an angel. Her hair was hanging down over her shoulders and she had on a tight fitting blouse that hugged her just right and a pair of jeans that were cut to make her legs look even longer than they were. She looked perfect.
" Hey there Nessie!" Rose gave me a huge hug. Our relationship had always been good but it had been her I had turned to most over the last few months. With one look at my face she told Emmett to go see Jasper, he didn't object. Rose went to the freezer and grabbed the Ben and Jerrys which was kept there for me and a spoon. She brought it over to me and I curled up on the massive white sofa with all the cushions.
" Tell me all about it," So I did. I gave her the complete run down of what had happened with Jacob and me and she listened carefully to every word without interuppting once. When I was done she sighed.
" You're to good for that stinky dog any how!" I let out a sob and she laughed and hugged me
" You know I don't mean it, well I do but I also know you cant mess with fate, and you two are fate!"
" He doesn't want me, I'm not sexy am I?" I let out another sob and put a huge spoonful of ice cream into my mouth.
" Of course your sexy, your gorgeous. Look at those huge brown eyes and all of those curls. You're the prettiest girl in the whole of existence! Jacob just needs a little time to adjust, that's all"
" But I want him NOW!!!" Rose raised an eyebrow and walked over to the phone
" We're going to need some back up" Rose rang Alice and my Mom and told them the plan for tonight.
Within a few minuets Aunt Alice and Mom were here with every item of clothing and cosmetic item you could think of. Alice was so happy it was scary
" Nessies going to be perfect!!! Of course with that extra chromasone of yours I cant see that but I know this is going to work!!!" She put another coat of mascara on my lashes. I looked at my Mom who was sorting out the cloths
" You ok Mom?" I asked. She looked at me and looked a little sad
" This has all happened so fast, your not my baby anymore." I could tell that if she was capable of tears they would have been rolling down her cheeks right then.
" I mean I understand, I can remember what it was like , slightly! Just promise to take things slow, you know what I mean don't you? There's no rush for all of that yet Renesmee" I cringed as I realised what she was referring to, I felt a blush in my cheeks, something I inherrited from her!
" Mom! I'm not ready for that yet, but I am ready for a boyfriend, you know holding hands, kissing….." Mom looked relived and smiled. I actually could see her body relax
" In that case, this is lovely!" Mom said holding out a green dress. I tried it on and when all three of them gasped I knew I had found the dress!
Chapter 4 - I just want a date!!!
I let Mom empty The Cottage first, she was going to get Dad to go to see Carlise and she would chat with Esmee. Mom promised they wouldn't be back until at least midnight which gave me 4 hours! She had told me I looked magical and kissed me bye, then just before she left
" Slow means months right honey?" I blushed and laughed all at the same time
" Yes Mom, months and months!" I watched her run out the door not looking convinced. I it must be so hard for them, most parents find it hard after 16 years let alone 6. I knew they understood but it still must be horrible for them.
When I was sure the cottage would be empty apart from Jacob I let myself in. Jacob was asleep on the couch, head back mouth open, he was so cute! I went to the kitchen and dropped a saucepan into the sink, knowing the metal on metal crash would wake him up. Jacob jumped to his feet and looked around
" What, what!!!" He looked comical half asleep trying to fend off the non intruder.
" Relax Jacob, sorry I dropped the pan" Jacob relaxed and then he saw me properly. His eyes nearly popped out of his head. I had to turn away so he couldn't see my smile. I could hear the wet sound of his heart speed up, it made me thirsty, I wasn't going to hunt in this dress Alice would kill me.
I composed myself and walked over to him, I tried to sway as I did, it felt unnatural but the look on Jacobs face told me it must be working so I carried on. When I reached him I put my head against his chest. I listened to his heart. I sounded wet and he smelt warm. I remember when I couldn't resist and would bite him! I had learnt to control it now and enjoyed the way he smelt and sounded, although it did make me thirsty and I really tried not to hunt that much as I didn't like it. I'd rather eat human food but my thirst would get the better of me in the end and I would have to go drain a deer or something. Jacob and I would go together and that made it more fun.
"What are you thinking?" Jacob sounded interested
" I'm thinking I want to bite you, like when I was little! Your hearts beating really fast and its making me thirsty!" I laughed a little
" No secrets in this family. Nessie, you didn't give me much time" He glanced at the clock " 3 hours isn't what I was thinking" He sounded so confused it made me laugh again.
"Jacob I am not a child. I am also not ready for you know, all parts of a grown up relationships" Stupid blushing! " But I mean a date or two wouldn't do much harm would it. A movie and a restaurant maybe?" I looked up at him hopefully.
" We go to the movies all the time Nessie" Ok he really was confused
" Yeah, but not together like a couple! I want you to hold my hand, put your arm around me, maybe even kiss me" I looked at the floor embarassed. Jacob laughed and hugged me " Your pushy, I wonder where you get that from?" The sarcasm was thick in his voice.
" Ok a movie, we can do that, but ummm, I think you're a little over dressed!' Jacob laughed again.
I went and got changed, it was a shame. That dress really did have the kind of effect on Jacob I wanted.
When I got to the living room Jacob had got changed too. He had on dark jeans and a black shirt, he looked so hot I couldn't speak. Jacob held out his hand and I took it. He opened the door for me and I climbed in the car. I felt excited, nervous, happy all in one.
Chapter 5 - Just kiss me already!
Jacob had been taking things really slowly, painfully slowly! We had been on 7 proper dates and he still hadn't kissed me. He would hold my hand, open doors, pay for things but no kiss yet. I was climbing the walls.
Dad and Mom had been really good about the whole thing. They knew Jacob would never hurt me. Dad always looked smug when we got home from a date and Jacobs thoughts were still clean enough to please him. This always irritated me so much! I would tell Mom all about it in our special bubble and she would hold my hand to her face seeing every detail of the night and seeing how impatient I| was becoming. I really did love my parents, I was lucky to have such an understanding family.
One night when Dad and Mom had gone hunting Jacob and I were watching some TV on the couch. It was a normal night and I was relaxed with my legs flung over Jacobs as we watched a documentry on tigers. I wasn't paying much attention when suddenly I heard Jacobs heart was hammering in his chest. I looked over at him and he was staring back at me. He looked serious which was rare. I was starting to panic, I was just about to ask what was wrong when he leaned over and kissed me. Just like that out of nowhere. His hot lips touched mine gently. They were soft and he tasted sweet and warm. He pulled back to look at my face, I smiled at him and he came back down on my lips harder this time. They pushed my lips apart and I felt his tongue in my mouth. I kissed him back with everything I had, Jacob was strong but so was I. I homed in to my paternal genes and gave back what force he gave to me. I ran my fingers though his hair and pulled him closer. I could feel his big hands grip my waist and hold me closer to him. Jacob pulled away again " What?" I panted " Did I do something wrong?" Jacobs let his breathing slow down and sat on the floor next to me. He looked at me " I love you Nessie. I'm in love with you," I smiled at him. At last, it felt like for ever waiting for him to feel the change in our relationship.
Just then my parents returned. Jacob jumped to his feet " I'm off to bed, night all!" and he was gone. I looked at Dad, Jacob was fast but not fast enough. I could tell Dad had heard his thoughts, a small growl escaped from his throat. It was my turn to look smug now " Night guys, love you!" I gave them both a kiss and floated to my room.
The next few days were awkward. Mom did her best with her bubble trying to keep Dad as sane as possible. Jacob and I were alone as much as possible. Kissing Jacob was great, really great. He made me so thirsty though, I was hunting a lot so I could concentrate on the kissing rather than the burning. I had been hunting with Dad. I felt we hadn't been around each other much and this made me sad. I was in love with Jacob but I still wanted my Dad around. I could tell this made him happy. We would see who could get the biggest in the herd. It felt nice to laugh with him again. Mom was pleased the house was nearly back to normal, although she was still using her bubble a lot.
Chapter 6 - So this could get awkward
The last year had gone so fast. Christmas had come and gone in a whirl. It had been a cold winter but spring was on its way. The flowers were coming out and the weather was getting dryer. I loved the sun, I felt bad the rest of the family couldn't go out in public on nice days. I did glow but not in a freaky way. I had been asked what moisturiser I used a few times by awe struck girls but that was it!
The Cottage was a great place to live. Everyone had adjusted well to the change in Jacobs and my relationship. We were careful about not flaunting it and it response we were given a lot of alone time to indulge ourselves.
On a normal Friday night Mom and Dad had gone to The Palace to watch a game on Emmetts huge flat screen. Jacob and I were in my room. Kissing Jacob had not grown boring! I still loved to kiss Jacob. It had been 6 months since Jacob had first kissed me and it still took my breath away.
Jacob was supporting himself above me so not to crush me. He had just broke away to catch his breath. I laughed at him. He lowered himself back down, his kisses were harder now, he let some of his weight go so I could feel his body against mine. Our heat combined was like fire, but a good fire. I pulled him closer still and he kissed the hollow under my ear. I let out a gasp. I hooked my leg around his waist and he responded with a light moan in my ear. I found his lips again, his heart was racing, wet, so wet and warm. I was overcome with the very being of him, and then
" OWW!!! Nessie you bite me!" I opened my eyes and saw Jacob looking at his shoulder. Yep, there was a little bite mark, and horrifying to me a bit of blood!
" Oh Jacob, I'm so sorry, I was totally rapped up in the moment, and your heart, it was…" Jacob let out a big bellowing laugh. It filled the room. This made me feel better, but I still felt awful.
" Seriously we are going hunting tomorrow Nessie!" Jacob flopped down next to me. Thank the stars I wasn't venemous! I cuddled up next to him.
I was a bit embarrassed about what I wanted to say, so I hid my face in his side and touched his face. I showed him what I was thinking two minuets ago, about how I was ready for the next step. I showed him how much I had wanted him.
Jacob rolled over to look at me
" Nessie, that's huge, I mean are you sure? I know I really want you but not until your ready. I can wait for as…" I cut him off by putting my hand on his face again and showing him just how much I had wanted him back then.
" I am ready Jacob" He looked at me with his serious face and I stifled a laugh. He took a big breath and then said
" Um Nessie, um well I was thinking, I mean I don't know if you, what I mean is, umm do you know if, umm..?"
"Spit it out Jacob!" I said annoyed but slightly amused my his sudden embarrassment
" Birth control, um I dont know if you, I mean if we, I mean I can have you know, kids, but your half vampire and Rose and the others cant but you half human so I was thinking…" Oh right, good question there
" I'm not sure. Maybe I cant get, you know pregnant, but I'm not sure." I frowned a little. This actually had never occurred to me.
" It doesn't matter if you cant Nessie, I mean your enough, I was thinking the opposite, you know, what if you can. We don't want that do we?" He looked at me tenderly
" Your right, I've never really thought about it before. The only person who might know is Carlise, oh this is going to be way awkward!" I was horrified at the thought of bringing this up with Carlise but knew that I couldn't go to any doctor with my half vampire questions. Jacob stiffed a laugh
" Rather you than me!!" I snapped my teeth at his playfully and he pretended to shy away.
The next day Jacob had gone out running to avoid accidentally telling my Dad about last night and I had left to go over to The Big House. I let myself in and was greeted by Esmee " Renesmee, how are you dear?" she scooped me into a big hug
" Fine thanks, I just have a question for Carlise, is he in?" I tried to look casual, like I had a question about history or something.
"He's in his study dear, he's not up for a shift at the hospital until later, go on up he'll be pleased to see you. Its been too long, we understand of course, what with Jacob." I smiled at her
" Its been 5 days!!! But yes you right I must come over more, I'm sorry." I gave her a quick hug and threw her my best smile and made my way up to Carlisles study.
I hovered outside trying to talk myself out of it but of course he heard me
" Come in Nessie" I pushed the door open and smiled at the sight that greeted me. There in the old leather chair with a book in hand was Carlise. I loved all my extended family but Carlise held a certain magic to me. He knew so much and had taught me a lot of what I knew. I had a great love and respect for him. All of this made it so much harder to breech this subject.
I sat in the chair opposite his. He smiled warmly at me
" And what can we do for you today Renesmme?" He was trying to be funny, sounding like a doctor talking to his patient. On any other day this would have amused me but not today, as it was to close to the truth. I fidgeted in my seat
'Well, um I need some advice really. Um Jacob and I were wondering if um, ….' I couldn't find the words
Carlise looked at me and sighed
" What ever question you have Nessie I will keep in confidence as much as possible and I will do what ever I can to help you. I've heard it all before, don't be embarrassed." He had put on his doctors voice again but this time for real. I took a big breath in
" Jacob and are thinking about taking our physical relationship to the next level but we were not sure about birth control. Or even if I could you know be able to get pregnant. He can, we know that from the others in the pack but what with me being half vampire….." there that wasn't so bad! I looked at Carlise who was deep in thought.
" That's a good point Nessie"
We had a long conversation about all sorts of things you don't want to talk about with your grandfather and decided that we didn't know. He advised we use some sort of birth control but as he didn't know how my body would react to certain types we decided a more direct route was in order. If Carlise had ever lost his composure during the conversation it was when he said " condoms"! I cringed at the word but was glad it was going to be that simple.
That night while I retold the story to Jacob he laughed so hard it annoyed me. He found every sentence of the conversation I had with Carlise side splittingly funny.
" Keep laughing wolf boy because after all that I had to do, the condoms are your department! There's a chemist in town two blocks down from the cinema." Jacob stopped laughing and looked at me. He took my hand in his and gave it a little squeeze
"You know we don't have to yet, if your not ready…." I put my hand on his face and relayed back to him one of the steamier kissing sessions from yesterday. He got the just of it and kissed me on the forehead.
" wont be long" and he was gone
Chapter 7 - Privacy, yeah right
The chemist run had been done, the decision had been made. Jacob had decided that The Cottage really wasn't the place for this. Out of respect for my parents and all. Jacob has talked to my Dad. I sat at the table and prayed that Jacob was controlling his thoughts.
" A camping trip?" Dad sounded sceptical
" Yeah, you know its spring and you know I'll keep her safe Pops, I mean Edward. It would be nice to sleep under the stars, well under canvas." Jacob sounded sure of what he was saying.
" Ok then, just for the weekend, keep her safe and take a phone, ok?" Yes! I jumped to my feet and put my arms around Dads neck
"Thank you Dad!" I kissed him on the cheek and he chuckled. I was so excited Jacob and me alone in a tent for two whole nights A loud cough came from behind me, I turned to face my Dad.
" Sorry!" We both said at the same time, me for thinking it, him for hearing it. We both left the room to the sound of Jacob and Mom laughing, although it really wasn't funny.
Jacob and I had packed a bag up and were ready to go. We had said goodbye to Mom and Dad. We were going by foot as Dad had insisted that we stayed in a 10 mile radius incase of emergencies. Jacob had found a perfect flat field whilst out running, he said it was a hour hike tops. I didn't care, I would walk for a hundred days for this time with Jacob. I touched his face to show him, he smiled at me and kissed me on the lips gently.
" That reminds me, we should hunt before tonight, I wont be able to keep my heart in line and I know how juicy it sounds to you!" He was mocking me. He hadn't let me forget the bite mark on his shoulder. Joking aside he was right, I didn't want to be thirsty later. I wanted to concentrate on Jacob and me. A flutter went through my belly, again I shared the feeling with Jacob by touching his face.
"Me too Nessie" I really did love Jacob Black.
As promised we arrived at a perfect camping spot after an hour. Jacob put up the tent with ease. It was quite big inside which was good because Jacob liked to sleep all sprawled out. It was just getting dark outside when we returned to the tent after hunting. I had taken down two big elks just to make sure. I had wrinkled my nose with the second one, I really would have chosen a pop tart! Jacob had laughed his barky laugh when he saw my face. I was all full and not thirsty.
I had opened the zipper and climbed in to let Jacob phase back and get dressed. I lay on my back and thought about what we were about to do. I was nervous. I wanted to do this but what if I did it wrong, or what if we hurt each other? I got a grip of my thoughts and reminded myself why I was here, because I was in love with Jacob, because we were ready for this. It had been a long journey but here we were.
Just as I has calmed myself Jacob came through the zipped sending my heart a flutter again.
" You took a bit longer than usual. You ok?" I wanted to make sure he was ok with this to.
" Yeah, I was just getting a bit of grief of the boys you know, no privacy when I'm like that!" Of course, not even thousands of miles could disconnect Jacob from his pack. I pushed the thought of Quil, Leah and the others knowing what we were about to do to the back of my mind. I leaned over Jacob and kissed him, he kissed me back.
" Jacob, your sure aren't you?" I wanted to make sure Jacob wanted me as much as I wanted him. I knew only to well that Jacob would give me what ever I wanted even if it wasn't what he wanted. I heard his heart pick up and smelt his blood race around his veins
" I want you more than anything Renesmee, you are beautiful and there is no where else on this planet I would rather be than here"
"Promise?" I asked just to make sure. With that Jacob rolled me over and kissed me,
" I Promise!"
