Renesemee's Point of View

"Nessie?" a hesitant voice wondered aloud behind me.

I melted as I turned the swing around and saw my Jacob standing beside the trunk of the Oak tree.

I flung myself out of the swing and into Jake's arms without any warning, burying my face in the crook of his neck, my arms around his neck, and my legs around his waist. I breathed in the scent of him and reveled in it. His arms timidly wrapped themselves around me, reminding me much like a skittish calf.

I froze. I realized that when he had left me, my body was still that of a gangly twelve year old. My growth rate had gotten extremely slow until he had left and I shot up like the beanstalk in that children's story, Jack and the Beanstalk. I had hit puberty, grown boobs, grown a few more inches, and grew into my curves. I soon grasped the fact that maybe he didn't want to be near me anymore.

Until I felt his arms tighten around me in a crushing embrace that would've snapped a human in half. I laughed, giddy that he had made an appearance after months. He laughed too and twirled me around till I was dizzy with the movements.

Jacob set my feet on the ground but I refused to let go of him. I was too short to keep my arms around his neck so I brought them around his waist. He chuckled lightly and kissed the top of my head.

"I've missed you so much Nessie," he breathed against my hair, sending a wave of electricity down my spine.

I frowned. What was that?

"I missed you too," I said against the top of his abdomen.

He pulled back and looked down at me with those brown, almost black eyes that some how managed to sear me with their intensity. He wiped a strand of my curly bronze hair from my forehead. "You've grown," he murmured almost huskily.

I shivered. What in the world is wrong with me? I looked up at his face with its high cheekbones, full lips, and bronze complexion. The face that had been the same since I was born. "You haven't," I teased in a way to lighten up the tense atmosphere.

He smiled crookedly.

I took his large calloused hand into my own. "How come you didn't tell me you were coming home today?" I asked a little miffed but too happy for it to change the lightness of my heart. "You weren't due till next week.

"It was a surprise," he mumbled. "Are you made at me?"

I made a strangled sound and threw myself into his arms again. "Mad at you for coming home early?!" I nearly shouted. "What are you? Insane?"

He laughed and wound his arms around me to hold me tightly against the warmth of his body. I trembled. I had missed this so much that I felt the tears burn a hole in my throat. I blinked back me tears not wanting to ruin the moment.

He set me down and frowned. "Nessie, your crying." He placed his hands around the sides of my head and wiped the tears away from the eyelashes where they had threatened to fall with his thumbs.

"I just missed you so much," I said but wondered how true they were. I was confused and the emotions swirling inside me were tiresome to deal with. I had never felt weak in the knees before, which I most absurdly was around him at that moment. It was scary and exciting and wrong all at the same time. I wanted to hold him forever and never let go. But what was frightening me mainly was that I wanted to close the distance between our lips. I had never felt that way toward anyone and definitely not towards Jacob.

All of a sudden I was wrapped in a calmness and warmth that I knew very well. I turned to see Jasper and Alice emerge from the thick foliage around the backside of our house where the meadow our home rested in met the forest. I eyed him with an almost pleading look in my eyes that sad don't stop what your doing or I'll explode. I was so embarrassed about what I felt that I buried my face against Jake's chest needing the comfort.

"Jacob," Alice greeted him as she and Jasper approached. "How was your flight?"

Jake smiled. "It was ok, a little bumpy but fine."

"I'm glad." My voice was muffled by his chest.

He just laughed.

Jasper cleared his throat. "It appears you have grown a tumor. Maybe Alice and I should go inside."

I shot him a glare that he didn't seem to notice.

Jacob began stroking my hair softly and I found myself melting into his warmth. "It would seem so. It was good to see you guys again."

Alice inclined her head. "You too, Jacob."

We were once again alone and I felt all my emotions pour back into me. I silently cursed Uncle Jasper for leaving me in this condition.

I pulled away needing the space and I plopped down on the ground. I crossed my legs and he sat down across from me. "Any new pack news?"

He shook his head. "No, not really. Embry imprinted though."

"Really?" I couldn't really remember him, we moved away from Forks when I was still somewhat small. I had only met him once or twice but I knew he was close to Jake.

"Yep, she's so sweet to. A little too shy, she kind of reminds me of your mother before she got real serious with your dad."

Jealousy swept through me. What is wrong with me? "What's her name?" I asked needing a distraction.

"Savannah. She is kinda like you, really sarcastic."

I forced a smile. "Oh, and I'm sarcastic, huh?"

"Oh yeah."

I laughed. "And you, have you imprinted yet?" I asked because I needed to know. Because I had to know.

A veil passed over his eyes. A veil I was most meaninglessly afraid of. I had my answer. He had finally imprinted.

Hee hee, I wasn't sure where to stop so I felt here would be a great spot. This is my first attempt at fanfic so reviews are most greatly appreciated. The next installment should be up in a few days at the least. I'm even thinking of staring a Quil and Claire thing. I'm sure yet though. Happy Thanksgiving!
