Dear Readers ~

This is a story of what I personally imagine what would have happened in the Twilight Breaking Dawn book if Jacob and Renesmee really had run away together. Hope you enjoy! I will update as much as I can and try to make the story and any future ones very long to add drama, and adventure, and obviously romance.

~Love, Author

ten years after they ran...

Jacob's POV

We had been on the run for nearly eleven years, and today was Nessie's birthday. It took me hours of searching and shopping but I finally had found the perfect gift. The nerves hit me as I reached the door to our house and froze, our relationship was growing from friends and we were getting closer.

I sucked in a breath before I knocked on the door and a second later it flew open, "Jacob! My god, I was worried sick. You have been gone fro hours! And on my birthday no less!" She scolded me but her voice hitched when she saw me holding a tiny black box. I know where her thoughts ran and I could see her about to reject it so I rolled my eyes.

"Renesmee, just open it." The girl had just stopped aging years ago so she looked about seventeen. I had phased enough so I stayed young enough that if need be we could pass as dating and have it not look bad with the age difference.

I laughed as she eyed me warily before pulling me inside and shutting the door, "So, are you actually going to open it or are you just going to stare?"

She punched my arm with a laughed before opening the box and I was glad she was sitting because it looked like she was going to faint. I didn't have to look to see what was inside the box. It was a silver chain bracelet with a brown wolf charm, similar to the graduation gift I had given Bella many years ago, "Jacob, you didn't have to." She trailed off as a tear fell and I guessed she had just recognized it. I caught the tear with my thumb before it could fall and she smiled.

"Do you like it?" I asked anxiously.

"Do I like it?" She seemed offended I would doubt my own gift, I had never failed to get her a breathtaking present, "I love it!" She tackled me out of the chair I was sitting in and I laughed as we rolled on the ground. Sometimes I thought that Renesmee, having the looks and thoughts of a seventeen year old, didn't realize the effect she had on me. I always had to force myself to remember that technically she was still eleven but she hated it when I thought like that so I rarely said it aloud.

"I'm glad you love it." I chuckled as we stopped rolling and she landed on my chest. My heart fluttered and I had to force myself to push her off of me lightly. She was comfortable with me from the moment she was born. When she touched me in this way, though, my emotions got the better of me. I was glad I had gotten used to pretending these feeling didn't exist. It would be way too hard if they grew too fast and I lost Renesmee because of it.

"So, what is our plan for the future?" She asked abruptly and I groaned.

"Ness, it's your birthday. There will be no talk of this insanity we call our lives." I hated how young she was and how much she worried all of the time. It made me feel guilty that she didn't get a real childhood.

She started to protest but I cut her off and stood, helping her to her feet. I jogged into the kitchen and she followed close behind me, as if afraid I would disappear. Renesmee slid onto the counter by the fridge as I shuffled around the kitchen and started to put together a late breakfast. I laughed when late came into my mind and it was only ten in the morning. The bracelet was already on her wrist as she kicked her legs and hummed mindlessly.

Since she grew so fast, I was beginning to think these feeling towards her grew at the same rate as she matured and that scared me. While on one hand, I loved her and wanted to be with her on the other hand I didn't want to rush into something we would both regret.

Renesmee must have realized I was in deep thought so she interrupted them, "Hey Jake. Can we go visit Forks when I turn at least seventeen? It's a birthday wish."

I growled. I hadn't explained fully what imprinting was but I had told her we have a connection so that I have to basically do anything she says, I regretted it because that meant more pain trying to say 'no' to her. I wasn't going to fight her on this. After all she wasn't the only one that wanted to go back. I hadn't seen my family, and I didn't even know if Seth or Leah or Sam or any of my pack were still there. I looked at Renesmee who was eyeing me carefully, "As you wish, but remember. Don't rush things. Six years is still a long time, and I was thinking, we should try to go to high school?" I laughed as her eyes went wide.

"I would like that." She was grinning, I had known for a while that she wanted to go to high school but before, it had been too risky and now that she looked high school age I could think about it, "we could be like the two mysterious transfer students." Renesmee was so excited she fell off of the counter but I caught her. "Thanks." It baffled me how she could wave stuff like that off as though it was nothing and she could have ran and caught herself.

"Great, because as another birthday gift to you we start school on Monday. I even have it arranged so that we have all but two classes together." That gave us approximately four days before we got to go to school.

She was squealing as she hugged me tightly. I laughed and hugged her close. I didn't want to let her go but I also knew that we needed to eat so I pushed her away, smiling. "You are the best wolf friend a half-vampire could ever ask for!"

"Thanks and you are the best half-vampire friend a wolf could ask for! I was thinking that I should try to make more food that looks normal but there is blood in it so that you can eat it. 'Cause if either of us makes a friend at high school I don't want to scare them away when you ultimately drink blood." We both laughed and she joined me in figuring out how to make that kind of food.

"Wait, do you mean that we would eat the same thing or-?"

I wrinkled my nose, "I'm not that desperate for food. It will be more work but I would make two batches of food, and no one would be allowed in the kitchen."

She raised an eyebrow, "You would do that for me? Put in extra work to make food that I can eat?"

"Of course. Renesmee, I would walk off the end of the world if you asked me to."

Renesmee was smiling that beautiful smile as she threw her auburn hair up into a fluffy ponytail that ran down her back. Her dark brown eyes scanned me, and I assumed, the way I looked at her.

"Jacob, could I at least help you in the kitchen?" She asked, setting a jar of blood on the counter and helping me pull out various ingredients and pans.

"You would probably be making sure no one entered the kitchen." My smile faltered as hers did, "Why?"

She seemed to think about this for a long time as we worked side-by-side communicating without words before she finally sighed and turned to me. I had my back to her so she turned me around and looked up at me with those big eyes that made my heart skip a beat. "I was only asking because I really like helping you, in such a small enclosed space." She teased me and I felt the heat rise to my cheeks.

"I understand that feeling. Wanting to be near you." I admitted and she smiled at me.

"Of course you understand but do you know how I truly feel?" She asked and the question confused me so she answered her own question, "I feel as though we are in a snow globe and with one wrong move the globe could shake and our world could fall to pieces, Jake, I can't let that happen. I won't lose you."

I definitely understood what she was feeling because we were connected in that way, so I nodded, "I won't let anyone take you from me, Nessie, they can try but they will fail." Her gaze fell but I used my index finger to lift her chin so she was looking into my eyes.

She was silently, the thoughts almost visible as her eyes darted from mine to my lips. I saw her move closer but I leaned back. My heart broke when I saw hurt flash across her eyes. "Why Jacob? Why can't you do this one thing, yet you can do literally anything else for me?" She pouted and I thought she looked adorable. My thumb grazed her cheek and she lifted her palm to touch my cheek.

A flash of what she was thinking of went through my brain and I smiled. It was how she envisioned a kiss with me, and it made resisting a whole lot harder. I cursed and leaned down, our lips were centimeters away from each other when I finally gained control of my own body and pushed myself away from her. "I'm sorry, Ness, but I have to focus on protecting you. And if we start this, I may not be able to stop."

"Is that such a bad thing?" She asked and part of me wanted to say 'no' but instead I looked away and nodded, "See. You can't even look at me and say it. Jacob, I know you want this just as much as I do." Renesmee whined.

The strain was hard on me, every instinct telling me to give her what she wants. I groaned under the weight of the decision sitting on my shoulders. Go to her and make us both happy, or leave and make us both miserable.

"Jake, just stop fighting it." She gave me puppy dog and I glared at her though my look quickly softened, "Please? Jacob, we have been on the run for ten years! At this point no one is still looking for me! And I love-"

I cut her off with a finger to her lips and pressed her up against the counter. She fluttered her lashed as her eyes dipped to my lips and I shook my head, "I can't." I whimpered as the pain hit me.

She scoffed angrily and pushed passed me, bounding up the stairs and slamming the door to her room. I slid with my back against the wall and sat down so that I could pull my knees to my chest, "I'm sorry." I said but she wasn't listening. I wanted to give her the world and it had been ten years since her parents died, so technically ten years was long enough for something to grow between us. I just wanted more time to find a place for us to settle down permanently. Now saying that, I realized we had. We had been living in the same house for four years and no one had come after us yet.

I finished cooking for her and put the food in the fridge. I had been sitting at the table before I realized how to fix the rift between us. I jogged to her room but she wasn't in there so I followed the sound of sobs to my room, the largest room in the house.

"Renesmee?" I said entering the room to see her laying on the huge master bed curled up in the blankets.

"Jake?" She sat up and I darted to sit beside her. I pulled her to my side and wrapped an arm around her shoulder, I kissed the top of her head as she spoke, "What are you doing in here?"

I laughed, "Well, first off, this is my room and second," I took a deep breath, "I love you."

She froze and looked up at me, "I love you too, Jacob. I always have. I always will." A smile grew on her lips as I was visibly nervous. She already could tell what I was going to do so she lifted her hand to my cheek and I saw a vision of us together.

I had her pinned on her back. She was smiling and our lips connected. My eyes closed as warmth filled me.

She pulled her palm away and I smiled before laying on my back and pulling her down beside me. "I have loved you since I laid eyes on you, and I want to take it slow. Please? I know I imprinted on you and I want to do this as much as you but we can't move to fast. Do this for me?"

Renesmee looked disappointed but after several minutes she finally nodded, "I will do anything for you. Even if that means not getting what I want. So long as I have you, I would wait for the end of time."

"I wouldn't say that long." I laughed and she giggled, "Maybe just a few months?"

She burst out into laughter and it made me smile that I could still cheer her up so easily. "Okay then, just a few months. Like maybe two?"

We laid laughing like that for hours and I couldn't have been more happy.
