My name is Renesmee Carlie Cullen. Soon to be Cullen-Black. I look like I'm seventeen; in reality I'm seven. That's what you get when you're half vampire.

Currently I'm sitting one of the rocks next to the river, curled up against Jacob. I gazed at my new fiancé in wonder. I don't know what I did to deserve him. He has been my best friend for all my life. Last year he became something more. My dad still hasn't accepted that.

Jacob imprinted on me just after I was born. Imprinting is how werewolves find their soul mates.

"Ready to go home?" Jacob asked, stroking my hair with his hot hands.

I sighed. "Sure, sure," I said, "We'll have to face them sooner or later."

I knew how my family would react. They would freeze and then try to rip Jake's head off. I touched Jacob's cheek, showing him. He shuddered and then shrugged. It took a lot to make Jake cringe.

Smiling and laughing, we raced back to the house. I won.

We paused just outside of the front door, a sly gleam came into Jake's eyes. Smirking, he pulled me close and kissed me passionately, tongue included.

It took all of two seconds before my father came out and yelled, "Jacob Black! Get your hands off my daughter!"

I grinned my 'Alice' grin and wiggled my be-ringed finger at him. He froze.

My mother came out, saw what my father was looking at and froze too.

I blushed. I always blushed easily. I inherited it from my mother. But unlike her old blushes, mine just turned my face a blotchy red.

One after one, my family came out and turned into statues. That's how vampires deal with high stress.

Finally Aunt Rosalie growled, glaring at Jacob. I shifted, thinking to protect him, only to find out that he had the same idea. We collided and laughed. Our laughter broke the spell. My family began to move again.

Aunt Alice started bouncing up and down. Probably planning the wedding. "We'll have it here," she decided, she dragged Esme and Rosalie into the house to start planning.

Dad was still glaring daggers into Jakes skull. If looks could kill, I thought.

Mom touched his hand, he sighed. "I knew that this would happen sooner or later," he mumbled. He glared at my fiancé, "You have my regretful blessing."

I went over and hugged my parents. "Thanks Dad, Mom."

"Are you sure about this?" Mom asked. I nodded. She sighed.

With that, I was pulled into wedding plans.

A couple days later I was being shoved into my mother's old wedding gown. I stared out the window. Jake was out there, playing with his pack, I mused. It wasn't fair that the female had to stay inside.

Alice tugged the material around me, suddenly she shrieked. "What happened? I can't see anything!"

Jacob materialized under my window. "What's going on? Nessie are you hurt?"

I shook my head, confused. "What's wrong Alice?"

Her eyes were glazed over, in a way that I knew she was searching for visions. She glared at Jacob. "What are you planning that ruined my day?"

Jacob didn't get a chance to answer. A knock boomed through the house. All right, boomed isn't quite the right description, but when you have extremely acute hearing, that's what it sounded like.

I quickly shed the dress, blushing at the wink Jacob gave me and pulled on my regular clothes, jeans and a top. I had put my foot down about Alice and Rosalie dressing me when I was three.

Jacob clambered through the window and we raced to the front door. Three female vampires blocked the light coming from the door. They were dressed in leather pants and vests. They all had olive skin, which looked unusual combined with the normal vampire pallor. They had the burgundy eyes of vampires that hunted humans. One of them I knew quite well.

"Zafrina!" I cried out with joy and went to hug her. Zafrina was my best friend, who was not my family. She and I had similar gifts so when she visited we often traded pictures back and forth.

Zafrina laughed and swung me around. I laughed. Quickly I showed her Jake proposing to me.

"Well," she said, looking down her long nose at me. "You've grown up quite quickly."

I laughed and hugged her again. Finally I noticed the others behind her. Kachiri and Senna stood back to let Zafrina greet me. Behind them stood Huilen and Nahuel. My mouth fell open.

Like my vampire parents, I never forgot anything, so Huilen and Nahuel's faces were crystal clear in my memory. It was combined with an unpleasant memory, that of the Volturri coming to kill my family and me.

Grandpa Carlisle came forward and ushered the Amazonian Coven inside.

"It's wonderful to see all of you again. What made you decide to visit?" Carlisle asked.

"It had been too long. Besides, I had to see my goddaughter." Zafrina said. She had been named my Godmother years ago.

I noticed Nahuel's gaze run over me appreciatively. Jacob noticed too. He came over and put his arm around me, giving me a quick peck on the lips.

"Will you be able to stay for the wedding?" I asked Zafrina. Nahuel's face fell. What's with him? I wondered.

"Of course! We don't have jobs that need doing. Ah, the life of a nomad." Zafrina teased.

I smiled and threw my arms around her again. "Thanks Zafrina!"

Dad and Mom came into the room. I rolled my eyes, they had been smooching again.

"Zafrina, Kachiri, Senna! It's wonderful to see you!" My mother said. I knew that she was a little scared of the Amazonian vampires, but she didn't show it.

"Hello, Bella. Hello Edward. How are you feeling with your daughter engaged?" Kachiri teased.

Dad scowled. "I feel like killing Jacob, but other then that, I'm okay with it."

Dad stiffened. His eyes turned black and narrowed as he glared at Nahuel.

"Edward…" Mom warned. Dad relaxed, but not much.

"Want to go for a run?" Jacob whispered in my ear. I nodded.

"See you later Zafrina! I've got to run before Alice catches me."

Zafrina laughed. She was familiar with Alice's energetic behavior. She nodded. Jake and I ran out the door.
