Enjoy.
Jacob was supposed to get home today so I decided I would wait by the window for him. At 7o'clock sharp I jumped out of bed and changed into a sundress and Momma braided my hair. I took a book and went to go sit on the window seat. I didn't end up reading much. Just staring out the window waiting for him.
"Are you sure you don't want something to eat?" Momma asked for the hundredth time.
"Yes, Momma, I'm sure. I just want Jacob to come home already. Didn't he miss me too?" I asked dramatically.
"Of course he missed you, honey. But you have to remember he does have other family here that he might want to-"
I cut her off, "Jake!" I was off the seat in a second and running full speed towards him. I launched myself into his open arms and all the questions that have been burning in my mind for the past two hours begin falling out of my mouth. "How was your flight? How's Rebecca? And the baby? I bet the baby's cute. Why couldn't I go? I missed you. I don't want you to leave me for that long ever again. Are you going to spend the day with me?" I paused because I realized I was out of breath.
"That's right Nessie, breathe." Jacob teased. "I wish I could honey, but I have to go. I have some-"
"-pack stuff," I finished for him and began to squirm in his arms."Figures," I muttered under my breath, annoyed. I turned around so he wouldn't see how much that actually hurt me.
Jake sighed, "Nessie, you know I love you, right?"
Of course I know that. "No, I don't know that," I said instead. I turned but he gently grabbed my arm.
"Renesmee, look at me." Not only did he use my full name, but he also used his Alpha voice. He never used his Alpha voice. "As soon as I finish with the pack I'll come back. We'll have a movie night, okay?"
"You promise?" I asked looking at him through my lashes.
"I promise," he whispered.
He pulled me into an embrace once more and I kissed him on the cheek.
I spent the whole day with Momma and Esme. We baked cookies and muffins and cupcakes then after dinner I changed into my most favorite pair of pajamas and returned to my spot by the window. Jake came back around 8:00 and Momma and Daddy left. They did that often. I'm not sure where they go but I do know they won't be back until morning. I kissed them both goodnight and then Jacob started the movie.
We talked through almost the whole thing. I used my gift to show him some of the things he missed while he was away and he told me all about his adventures while he was there. I told him that we baked for him and even made sugar free cookies for Billy. The doctor has been getting on him for his blood sugar.
The credits finally started rolling and I let out a huge yawn, "Will you stay tonight?"
"Anything for you," he scooped me up in his arms and carried me to my bedroom where he laid down next to me on my bed. I snuggled into his warm chest.
"I never asked you. How was the pack?" I asked, fighting off sleep.
"They were fine. I missed my boys, but not nearly as much as I missed you," he whispered in my ear.
"Jake? If the pack are your boys, then who is your girl?" I asked curiously.
"Who do you think it is?" He asked me.
I listed off every girl I could think of, but he shook his head to every single one. "Then who is it?" I asked finally.
"You, Nessie. You're my girl."
And for the first time in four days, I slept a peaceful sleep.
