Twi-Hearts: Chapter One – Eternal Love

Alice Cullen

I ran into Nessie's room, in an effort to get her dressed in half decent clothes this morning. I went out yesterday and bought her about $1000 worth of clothing. Bella would have objected, telling me not to spoil her, but I'm her Aunt, and I think I have a right to buy her nice things. She finally woke up, and I could tell by the look on her face that she was annoyed.

Renesmee Cullen

I was in the middle of a beautiful dream, I was laying in the meadow, between Mommy and Daddy, listening to them talk about the day they met. I loved that story, so, obviously... I was mad when all of a sudden I heard Alice talking in my ear, telling me to wake up. Okay, talking wasn't exactly the word to use, it was more like singing, but you get the point. I'm guessing my face displayed my annoyance, because she ran from the room. I was about to settle back down and go back to my dream when she was back. "Look" she said "Isn't it just beautiful?" I couldn't help but agree. The bright, pink flowered sundress she was holding was gorgeous. My mind really got working then. "Where did you get it?" I asked. "That doesn't matter Nessie, what matters is it's your size." I just looked at her. "Hurry, get up and show me how it looks." "Fine," I got up and took the dress. I was back in no time. The dress was beautiful, I couldn't argue there. I was still annoyed about being woken up though, so I just stood in front of the full size mirror, looking at my reflection. It was then that she seemed to really process my mood. "I'll make you a deal Nessie," uh oh. "You can go lay down for a little while, if you promise to try on the rest of the clothes I bought for you." "Ugh, fine. Just don't wake me up." She just sighed, giving in to my condition.

I let her go back to sleep, Edward would be back soon anyway. He and Bella went hunting late last night. Ugh, he must have brought Jacob over too. Either that or they both just… no, Jacob's here. I can smell him already. I heard Rose mutter something about '…like a stupid little puppy' I simply laughed. Just then, Edward walked in with, guess who, Jacob. I had nothing else to do until Nessie got up, so I went to say hello. 'Hi Edward' I said internally. "Hello Jacob" I tried my best to be polite, but I don't think anyone was fooled. He just simply said "Hello Fortune-Teller" That was my nickname. He started calling me that when Bella was first pregnant with Renesmee. I don't really care either way, it's not like I see him all the time. Well, yeah, I guess I do…

It was then that I realized that Bella wasn't with Edward, something you don't usually see. "Where's Bella?" I asked casually "Cottage" Edward answered simply. "Oh," I said.

I didn't see anything interesting happening in the next little while, and not just because Jacob was here, so I decided to go for a walk with Jasper.

I was about to call his name when he appeared at the bottom of the stairs. I smiled. "Would you like to go for a walk?" I asked him. "I'd love to."

Jasper Cullen

There was something that I wanted to talk to Alice about, so I was glad when she asked if I wanted to go for a walk. Once we were out of hearing distance, and out of mind-reading distance, I started speaking. "Alice," "Yes" she said, smiling. "There's something I wanted to talk about" she just nodded, allowing me to continue. "I'm a little worried, about Edward I mean he" Alice interrupted me then. "Don't worry about Edward, any trouble he gets, he brings on himself." She chuckled lightly at the last part. I laughed quietly along with her. "No, not like that, I'm worried about how he is going to handle Renesmee... Well more about how he will handle Jacob. Once his feelings for her get a little more serious." she stood there... Thinking about what I had said. "What brought this on?" she wondered "Well, I have noticed his moods have been changing around her lately.. And I think he is starting to like her" "Oh," she said... A little surprised. "I wish I could know what would happen," I said. "Me too" she said, smiling. She was referring to the fact that she can't see werewolves, well can't see their future's anyway. "I'm sure Edward will be fine, he has to deal sooner or later" "That's true, I just hope he doesn't lose his mind over this." "Edward? Lose his mind?" we both laughed. "You're right, I'm worrying too much."

Edward Cullen

If Jacob doesn't stop thinking like this, I will rip his head off. I can't believe he actually imprinted on my daughter, my daughter. And now I have no choice but to listen to him go on and on about how perfect she is. I agree, of course, but he has an edge to his thoughts, and I don't like it. I can see that he is starting to like her, but he hasn't told her yet, thank God. I don't want her life any more confusing than it already is; she is just a little girl. She doesn't need all this drama. I also know that she doesn't think the same way about him as he does for her, again, thank God. Jacob interrupted my thoughts then. "Where's Nessie? I wanted to ask her something." Ugh, no, not a chance. I let out a growl. Jacob's eyes shot up to my face, "What?" he said, I just looked at him, my face furious. "Oh," he said. "Get out of my head!" He nearly yelled. "I would if I could" I muttered. Then I remembered why I was mad in the first place. "You're NOT asking her that" I snarled "And why is that?" I can't believe him. "Because she is my daughter, she is a child." "No she isn't, she just looks like a child, and we both know how mature she really is; both physically and emotionally. Let her answer for herself" not wanting to argue, I gave in, walking away with a sigh.

Renesmee Cullen

I woke up then. At first I was going to try to pretend I was still asleep, keep Alice off my back, but then I heard a heartbeat. It was Jake. Obviously, who else could it be? I got up, still wearing my new sundress from Alice and went downstairs. "Hey Jake" I yelled, running up to hug him. I heard Daddy growl quietly, I decided not to ask. "Want to go for a walk Nessie?" he asked "Sure, sure" I had picked that up from Jake himself. I even said it in the same relaxed, uncaring tone. We left the house and started walking towards the forest. "Uhm, Ness, I wanted to tell you something," "Yeah, Jake?" he just stood there… seeming uncomfortable. "I uhm, uh," I laughed quietly, "Just say it Jake" "I well, I really like you Nessie." I laughed before I could stop myself. "I really like you too Jake" I was confused. "No, I don't mean like that, I mean that I love you." "Oh..." I managed to squeak. Then he started speaking again, "Nessie, would you go out with me?"
