I watched Bella and Edward gently close the door to Nessie's room and make their way towards me while I tried to process my thoughts and feelings into words. Knowing that Nessie was now asleep I realized that this was the best time there was for me to have a discussion with them, one that would certainly have an important impact on the rest of my life.

I took a deep breath and looked straight at Edward and Bella. Much to my surprise I saw that they were both smiling.

"Jake, have I ever told you how funny you look when you're nervous?" asked Bella with a laugh. She pulled Edward by the hand towards the sofa and sat down next to him.

I rolled my eyes and sat down across from them in a rather small rocking chair.

"Who said I was nervous Bella?"

She smiled. "I'm your best friend. You can't fool me! Come on just spit out whatever you want to say and we can be done with it. "

"It's about Nessie. I know she is far too young and I don't think about her in some weird or perverted way, but right now I'm thinking about the future. I know it's years away but I've been thinking and I was hoping that when the time comes for us to take our relationship further that I can be the one to do it. She deserves to hear everything from me instead of from someone else."

"Of course, we understand completely Jacob."

Bella nodded. "When the day comes it will be entirely up to you. We won't interrupt!"

"Thanks Bella. It means a lot to me to be able to tell Nessie all of this on my own. I just have one more request..."

"That's probably a good idea Jacob," Edward replied. For a moment I almost couldn't understand how he knew what I was thinking, and then I remembered. He was Edward, my future father-in law, the mind reader.

"Wait what am I missing?" asked Bella.

"Jacob was thinking that we shouldn't introduce the notion of imprinting to Renesmee until he is ready to explain his feelings to her," explain Edward.

Bella continued to rub the back of Edward's hand as she smiled to herself.

Edward looked curiously at her. "What are you thinking my love?"

"I was just thinking to myself how lucky we are that Jake is the person who is going to spend eternity with our little girl. I know I was against the idea initially, but now I cannot think of a better person for her."

I smiled wide and felt a sigh of relief. The very thought of being able to tell her exactly how I felt one day and spending eternity with her had me feeling like the happiest guy in the world.

"That means a lot to me to hear you say that Bells. I promise you and Edward this right now; I will never hurt her for as long as I live, she is everything to me and there will never be a day where I don't love her more than my own life."

With that I got up and said goodnight to Bella and Edward before phasing and running off into the forest towards La Push.
