The drive back to Forks wasn't as long as I'd thought it would be. Jacob had awoken early this morning and couldn't wait to get on the road. He was so excited he could hardly sit still during breakfast and the drive home was even more comical. No matter how many times I asked he wouldn't tell me what had him so excited. He insisted it was just seeing the family again but I had a suspicious feeling there was more to it than that.
After asking him for the third time to stop bouncing his knee while he drove I reached over and placed my hand on his thigh. He looked over at me sheepishly as I rubbed small circles moving up and down his thigh.
"Too bad we won't have much privacy now," I said wistfully, sighing lightly as my fingers moved higher. Jacob groaned softly as he laid his hand over mine stopping my movements.
"I'm sure we'll find plenty of privacy," Jacob said looking over at me mischievously. I caught the glint in his eye and knew instantly he was hiding something from me. We were only about forty-five minutes from La Push and my mind began thinking of ways to make him spill his secrets before we got there.
I began slowly unbuttoning my shirt while speaking, "I think you have something you want to tell me. Don't you Jake?" I said in my most seductive voice. His eyes flashed to me and his breath hitched when he saw the top three buttons of my shirt undone. "A secret maybe," I whispered as I undid another button exposing the lace of my bra. He looked nervously back to the road and began stuttering.
"I don't know what you're talking about Nessie. I can't think of anything I want to tell you right now...except that you're beautiful and I love you," he said nervously. I ran my fingers over the edge of my shirt opening it a little more. His face began to flush slightly and I could tell his resolve was wavering. I reached over and ran my fingers lightly up his thigh again.
"Are you sure you don't want to tell me why you're so excited to get home?" I breathed seductively as I leaned into him slightly, brushing my chest against his arm. The sound of his pounding heart put a smile on my lips which I slowly licked when he looked over at me again.
He pounded his hands on the steering wheel and let out a heavy sigh. "Nessie!" he groaned. He closed his eyes momentarily and inhaled deeply. "You are wicked you know that right?" he said shaking his head. "I do have a surprise for you when we get back to La Push but I'm not telling you what it is," he finished determinedly. "Okay," I smiled sadly, removing my hand from his thigh and beginning to button up my shirt.
He grinned wickedly at me as he reached over stopping my hands and pulling them into his lap. "I like the view," he said huskily as his eyes darted from the road to my chest several times. I could feel the heat in my cheeks as his eyes roamed over me. I seriously hoped we could find some alone time tonight.
We drove in silence while I thought about what my surprise could be and how he'd kept it a secret. "So how long do I have to wait for my surprise when we get home?" I asked curiously. He glanced over at me and smiled widely. "You don't. We aren't going straight back to La Push," he said as the car slowed and he turned off the highway onto a narrow gravel road. I looked over at him questioningly and he just smiled and kept his eyes on the road.
"You know you're my world right?" he asked. I nodded smiling. He'd always been my world and now he was my husband and I never thought I'd be this happy. He rubbed my knee gently grinning like the cat that just ate the canary.
"I have a very special wedding present for you Nessie." Jacob paused as he stopped the car at the bottom of a small hill. Turning to look at me he continued speaking, "All I've ever wanted since the day you were born is to give you the world and make you smile." He took my hands in his and held them tightly. "I love you Renesmee Carlie Cullen Black. You've given me so much by not only becoming my wife, but by agreeing to stand by me as Alpha, and leader of the tribe. I want you to be truly happy here and I don't ever want you to regret being here." Jacob gazed into my eyes with such intensity I knew whatever he had for me was big and I began to get a little nervous. He grinned mischievously as he pulled a blindfold out of the glove box and leaned over to tie it around my head.
"Jacob is this really necessary?" I whined a little as my stomach tightened nervously. He laughed lightly. "Yes this is necessary. Just relax Nessie I promise you'll love this surprise," he finished, patted my knee gently and put the car in drive again.
"Now I want you to know that this is sort of a combined wedding present. The idea was mine but I couldn't have done it without the help of your family and the pack…even my dad helped." I could hear the hesitation in his voice and I laid my hand on his and squeezed to reassure him.
"I'm sure I'll love whatever it is you've all done for me," I replied excitedly. My mind swam with thoughts of what the surprise could be when the car slowed and stopped. I could feel my heart beginning to race as I heard Jake get out of the car and then open my door a few seconds later. He took my hand and helped me out of the car leading me slowly forward.
"Okay Nessie…" he untied the blindfold and I blinked several times letting my eyes adjust to the light. My breath hitched as I looked across the low valley surrounded by forest. My eyes were immediately drawn to a clearing where a large house stood along the forest edge. Tears pricked my eyes as Jacob slid his arms around my waist and whispered in my ear, "What do you think of our new home?" I couldn't speak so I just squeezed his arms tighter to me and stared wide eyed at the view before me.
After a minute I turned in his arms and nodded my head slowly. "You Mr. Black are amazing. I can't believe you did this, thank you," I whispered stretching up to kiss his lips. He gladly obliged and lifted me up in his arms. I wrapped my legs around his waist as I slid my hands into his hair and pulled him closer.
"I love you Jake," I said breathlessly a few minutes later pulling my lips from his. He grinned at me, "I love you too Nessie. Would you like to go down and see the house now?" I sighed lightly, "I'm torn…I really want to stay here and continue kissing you but I really want to go see our home." I looked into his dark eyes and kissed his lips softly once more before sliding down his body and standing in front of him.
"Can we run?" I asked hopefully. Our time in Greece had been wonderful but I missed running with Jake and feeling the wind against my face. He grinned widely, "Race ya?" he shouted taking off down the hill towards the house. I laughed lightly as I took off after him knowing I couldn't catch him but loving the chase anyway.
He was standing on the wrap around porch waiting for me as I slowed and took in the house; a huge country style log home with lots of large windows. "Jake…it's amazing," I breathed. He bound off the porch and took my hand. "Come on let me show you around," he said excitedly.
We stopped at the front door and he turned to look at me, "I haven't seen the finished product yet so this will be a surprise for both of us." He grinned happily as he swept me up into his arms and carried me into our home for the first time.
My mouth fell open as I took in the high ceilings and large, open rooms. Everything had already been decorated in rich earthy tones with splashes of color throughout. We walked through the large living room that could easily seat the whole pack , and then some. I stopped in shock when we entered the dining room and I saw four extra-large, pub style, native wood tables set in opposite L-shapes on either side of the room.
"There should be enough seating for the whole family," Jake whispered as he snaked his arms around my waist. "Amazing…" I said in awe as a single tear slid down my cheek. "Our pack…our family." I whispered more to myself then Jake. He squeezed me gently before taking my hand and leading me into the large kitchen.
"Oh Jake, I've never seen anything like this." I said in disbelief as I looked around the room. All the appliances were stainless steel and doubled; on either side of the deep, double basin sink were two large refrigerators and two large, upright freezers, the island in the center contained another deep, double basin sink and two dishwashers, while on the opposite side of the kitchen were two stoves and a double oven. The cabinets were plenteous and fully stocked. I walked slowly through the room running my hand along every surface, imagining cooking breakfast for the pack here. A long breakfast bar separated the kitchen from a small breakfast nook and sliding door.
I cocked an eyebrow at Jake when I reached the sliding door. He smiled and nodded for me to go outside. I stepped onto an enormous deck that looked out onto a small creek that separated our yard from the forest beyond. The view was breathtaking and a small sigh escaped my lips.
"What do you think?" Jake asked as he stepped up next to me and looked out into the forest. "I'm speechless…I've never seen anything so beautiful…or so large Jake." I giggled a little. "I figured since we're taking over the pack we should at least have a home that will accommodate all of us for meetings or whatever," he said nonchalantly.
"This is amazing Jake. I can't even begin to tell you how wonderful this is and how grateful I am but you didn't have to do all of this," I said motioning towards the deck and house. He smiled and hung his head for a minute before speaking. "I hadn't really planned anything this grand but you know how your family is…once I told them what I was thinking about they put the plans together and I couldn't deny that you'd love it," he finished bashfully.
"I just want you to be happy Nessie," he said pulling me into his arms and kissing me firmly. "You haven't even seen the rest of the house yet," Jake said pulling away from me and leading me back into the house.
"Everything you've seen so far is mostly for the pack. Follow me I have more to show you." We walked into the kitchen and took a small hallway off to the left where there was a laundry room and half bath. The hall ended at the far side of the living room where two large sliding doors led out to the deck that was off the kitchen. We continued across the room to another hall where he showed me an office, a half bath and a play room. The hall opened into a smaller version of the living room with a stone fireplace and a beautiful staircase. I looked around and back to Jake questioningly.
"Esme thought it would be nice for us to have our living area separate from the larger gathering areas that were meant for the pack. This way when the kids need to go to sleep they won't be disturbed by any company we may have." He smiled mischievously at me. I looked around and noticed the pictures hanging on the wall were of me and Jake through the years. A smile played on my lips as I looked at the pictures and remembered each one.
"What to go up and see the bedrooms?" Jake wagged his eyebrows at me. I couldn't help but laugh at his excitement. I nodded my head and followed him up the staircase. We walked slowly down the hall as he opened each door showing me four bedrooms and two full bathrooms. When we reached the end of the hall he stopped and waited for me to look at him before opening the door to our bedroom.
"Oh Jake…" I breathed. A king size log bed was situated against one wall opposite two floor to ceiling windows overlooking the creek and forest. The room was elegant yet comfortably appointed with a sitting area in front of a small stone fireplace. I could see a smirk on Jake's face as I walked toward the door next to the bed. I opened the door to find a huge bathroom with a large garden tub and stand up shower opposite a double vanity and floor length mirrors. He grinned wickedly as he stepped up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist kissing my neck gently.
"I was hoping you'd be up for a bath later after everyone leaves," he whispered in my ear. "Everyone?" I said questioningly. "Yea all of our family is downstairs waiting to see us," he said. I smiled, excited to see our family. I turned to leave when Jake stopped me and pulled me to him for one more kiss before leaving the room.
As we walked out of the bedroom Jake spoke again, "I wanted to tell you that we're not done with the tour yet but the rest can wait until later." I looked up at Jake confused by his words. "What do you mean?" I asked as we walked back down the hallway towards the stairs. When we reached the bottom he pointed out over the creek, "There are four small cabins in the woods on the other side of the creek for when we have company that needs to stay overnight." I looked up at him in awe and shook my head slightly.
"So in other words you built cabins for my family to stay in when they come to visit?" I confirmed. He shook his head in agreement, "Yea or anyone of the pack that may need a place to crash on occasion." I smiled up at him again and leaned my head on his arm. "Thank you Jake, you really are the best husband in the world," I said reverently.
We walked back into the main living room to find the whole pack and all of my family waiting anxiously for us. "Thank you all for this wonderful house. I can't tell you how amazed I am by all of this." I tried to keep the tears at bay but as I looked around at the faces of my family I couldn't help but cry tears of joy.
We spent the rest of the day catching up with our family and telling stories from our honeymoon. Since it was our first day back we decided to just order pizzas instead of trying to plan a meal for thirty. The gathering broke up slowly beginning with Sam, Emily and the kids followed by Embry, Sara, and the twins. Before long we were hugging the last of our family and standing on our front porch listening to the sounds of the forest.
"How was your first day back home?" Jake asked quietly as he rubbed small circles up and down my back. I leaned into him and sighed contentedly. "I can't believe all of this Jacob. I'm still overwhelmed by everything…but very happy," I finished in a whisper. We stood silently for a few more minutes before I spoke again.
"I was thinking I'd like to try out that new bed of ours," I said running my fingers slowly up his chest. Jacob let out a low growl and swept me off my feet carrying me up to our room. I giggled as he dropped me onto the bed and covered my body with his. "What exactly do you want to try on our new bed Mrs. Black?" he said huskily in my ear. My breath hitched as he began kissing my neck. "Everything," I breathed seductively as our hands roamed over each other's bodies eagerly.
