(A/N: This part takes place around five years after part one. Enjoy!)
Part Two
"Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said that it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start"-Coldplay, The Scientist
Jacob can't stop staring at her. She is his imprint, after all. His imprint, all grown up.
He doesn't notice Leah next to him, who greets Seth with a warm "Hi," and greets Renesmee with a less warm, "Hello, Renesmee."
"Hi," Seth and Renesmee say at the same time. Seth looks exactly like he did five years ago: shaggy black hair, tall and gangly, wearing a baggy t-shirt and shorts.
Renesmee, however, has no resemblance to the sweet looking little girl she was five years ago. She looks to be about sixteen, and not just any sixteen year old, but the kind that could model for a magazine without the editors having to Photoshop her photos. Her once bronze hair now falls past her waist in black curls, and one lock near the front in dyed a bright purple.
But the most shocking is what's on her hand. When Jacob's gaze drops to Renesmee's hand, which is tightly held in Seth's, he sees a ring.
Not just any ring, an engagement ring.
When the shock wears off, Jacob stutters, "Y-you and Seth…?"
"We're engaged," Renesmee says, nodding. "We figured, my mother got married early, so why shouldn't I?"
"Y-you're seven," Jacob points out.
"But I don't feel seven, Jake."
Jacob locks eyes with Seth and a tiny growl comes from his throat.
"Jacob," Seth says quietly. "Could I see you in the kitchen for a minute?"
"Anything you can say in front of me, you can say in front of Leah and Renesmee," Jacob growls.
"No," Seth disagrees. "No, I can't."
Jacob reluctantly agrees and gives Leah a quick peck on the cheek, then walks with Seth to the kitchen.
"Jacob," Seth says in a low voice that sounds a bit like a growl.
"Hmm?" Jacob mumbles, not meeting Seth's eyes.
"Remember what you promised me five years ago?" Seth asks. "You promised to make Leah happy. Staring at Renesmee does not make her happy."
"Renesmee is my imprint," Jacob argues. "I have the right to stare at her."
"You love Leah, remember?" Seth says through clenched teeth. "Renesmee may be your imprint, but you gave her up for Leah. Remember Leah? You know, my sister, the one who loves you with all her heart, the one who I've heard mumble your name at night? She loves you. Renesmee could care less about you. I'm sorry, Jake, but that's just the way it is."
Jacob takes deep breaths, and tries to keep himself from strangling Seth as he considers what has just been said.
After a few minutes of thick silence, Jacob quietly says, "Maybe you're right."
"Maybe I am," Seth says.
"Seth?"
"Yeah, Jake?"
"Do you agree with this whole 'early marriage' thing with Renesmee?"
"No, Jake, I don't. But it's what Renesmee wanted. After all, the imprinted wolf gives their imprint whatever they want, right?"
Seth and Jake share a weak smile.
"Thanks, Seth," Jacob says as they walk back to Leah and Renesmee. "For everything."
(Super long A/N: A bunch of things I have a feeling people are going to be wondering about: Why is this five years ahead? That's what I had an idea for. Why are Seth and Renesmee talking to Jacob and Leah? Seth and Leah are brother and sister. They see each other. Why did Renesmee dye her hair? Because she's Renesmee. She could have turned out this way, you never know. Why is Jake acting like it's the first time he's seen Renesmee? I don't know. Why doesn't Leah say more? She just didn't have anything to say. Besides, the characters I put up on that character thing are Jacob and Seth, so the story is mostly about them. I have a question for you: was Renesmee's physical age about right? I wasn't sure. If you guys have any other questions, review and let me know! Even if you don't have more questions, review! PS: I don't like Seth getting married to Renesmee...)
