In Love with a Werewolf; Chapter One (Becoming a Woman)
DISCLAIMER:I don't own the twilight saga,all credit rightfully goes to steph :D

There he was. Standing a few feet away from me. He was looking out into the ocean, facing away from me so I couldn't see his face. I started to walk over to him, and when I reached him, he started to turn around.

Finally, I thought, finally I'll be able to see his face.

He was the man of my dreams, but I had never seen his face. He always disappeared just before I saw his face. I looked behind me, & when I turned back, he wasn't there anymore! I looked around frantically, trying to find him, but when I looked over at the forest, all's I saw was a piece of a white tennis shoe. I dropped down on the sand, tears streaming down my face.

Somewhere deep in the forest near the beach, I heard a wolf howl.

Beep, beep, beeeeep!

I sat up with a start. I looked around confused; where was he? Where was my dream guy? Then I got it. My dream guy.

It had all been a dream.

Oh no, not again! I'd been having this dream for weeks now. I always woke up, right before I saw his face. It was driving me crazy. I had no idea who this guy was, but I knew he was the right guy for me. Don't ask me how, I just know.

"Renesmee? Honey, are you up yet?" I heard my mum's sweet voice coming from outside my door.

"Yeah mum, I'm awake. You can come in!" The door swung open and my mum was sitting down on my bed in a flash. Even though I've been with my family for six years now, it still amazes' me at how fast they are. I mean, sure for a half-vampire, I'm pretty fast as well, but it's nothing compared to my parents.

I leaned over to hug her, and was hit with a blinding pain from my stomach.

"Ohhh," I groaned. "Mum, what's wrong with me? It feels as if somebody is squeezing the inside of my stomach," Mum looked confused for a second; as a half vampire, I never got sick, but then she sniffed the air and comprehension filled her face.

"Honey, don't worry. I think you've just started your periods. Let me just call Grandpa Carlisle, and he'll help explain it all." My mum darted down the stairs, and I heard her pick up a cell phone and press a button, and then she was back in my bedroom.

"Hello Bella, how may I help you this morning?"

"Good Morning Carlisle.I think Renesmee has started her period. When she woke up, she said he stomach hurt, and I can smell blood. Do you think you could please bring some sanitary towels over for her?" Mum looked over at me, and I swear if she could still blush, she would be now.

"Sure Bella, I'll be right over. Is Edward there?"

"Not at the moment, he's out shopping for some food for Ness." I heard the whoosh on the other end of the phone, as my Grandpa Carlisle headed over to our little cottage.

"Okay, I'm outside now." Mum pressed the 'hang-up' button, and came to sit next to me. "Good morning Bella, Nessie." My grandpa walked into my room, carrying a small plastic bag that had something square inside it.

"Morning Grandpa." I moved, to lie back down a bit, and felt the pain again. "Grandpa, why is my tummy hurting? And why can mum smell blood? I didn't cut myself." I was still really confused, and the pain wasn't help much either.

"Honey, you've got your period. For awhile now your parents and I have been wondering if you would get it or not, and although female humans normally get it around fourteen, because your body is so different, yours is a little late… or early, depending on how you look at it." Grandpa Carlisle looked at my mum, and she nodded her head.

"Honey, a period is what pretty much all female humans will get at some point in their lives. It helps them to have babies later on. Do you remember the talk we had when you turned fourteen? About sex?" Unlike my mum, I wasn't a full vampire, so I could still blush when embarrassed, and this particular memory was pretty embarrassing.

"Yeah mum, I remember. Uncle Emmet was laughing at me for a week after that." I scowled when I remember what a jerk my uncle could be about things like that. "Wait, I remember reading about this in the book Auntie Rosalie gave me. Another word for getting a period is a 'menstruating? I am right?"

" Yeah, that's it. Now, because you have your period, you will probably be able to carry children, but we're still not entirely sure. So I guess that we'll have to wait and see." My mum replied. "Now, these are pads. You have to put them on your underwear to stop the blood from, well, making a mess." I blushed again.

"B-blood? Wait mum, I know you, & Carlisle can be around blood pretty easy, but isn't it harder for Jasper, and even the rest of them?" I guess I looked really scared, at the possibility of Jasper and the others wanting to suck my blood.

"Well, your right about that Nessie, blood does affect Jasper more than your mother and me, but he's much better at controlling himself lately, and besides, this blood is different. It's not the same as the blood that is in the rest of your body. It's the lining of your uterus shedding and coming out of your vagina. So it will be fine. Your mother survived around Jasper when she was menstruating, before she became immortal, so it will be fine Nessie, I promise." Grandpa smiled at me, and I felt a whole lot better.

"Thank you Carlisle. Now I'm not being rude, but can you guy's leave now? I'm going hiking with Jake today, and he's supposed to be here in about," I stretched over to look at my alarm clock, "-ten minutes, so I have to get ready!" I jumped out of bed, forgetting about my tummy pain. "Ouchh!"

"Oh, here is something for the pain." Mum handed be a box of 'extra strong panadol' because normal medication probably wouldn't work on me. "Do you need any help figuring out how to put on the pad's sweetie?"

"No thank you mum, I'll be fine. The book Aunt Rosalie gave me had instructions." I smiled, and swallowed a tablet before grabbing some clothes from my closet, walked past mum and grandpa, kissed them each on the cheek, and headed for the bathroom. I quickly changed into some brown short shorts, and a green tank top. Even though it was fairly cool outside (well, to a human) I ran a warm temperature, just like werewolves, so I knew shorts would be fine.
As I stepped out the bathroom door, I heard a car honking. I ran to the front door and saw my best friend Jacob Black get out of the car.

"JAAKEE!" I yelled as I ran to him and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Oh, I've missed you so much!"

He hugged me back and said, "Hey there Ness! It's only been two days, you couldn't have missed me that much!"

"Shut up Jake, you know you missed me too!" I smiled as he put me down, and started walking into my house.

"Yeah, of course I missed you, you're my best friend remember? Now let me just say hey to Bella, and," he sniffed the air, to see who else was here. "-Carlisle, then we can be on our way." I just nodded.

They both came down, said hello to Jacob, and then we walked into the front yard, and got in the car.

"So where to today?" I asked Jacob.

"Anywhere you want," He replied. It was funny how he always gave me whatever I wanted. I never questioned it before, until now.
