Chapter 2

Renesmee POV

If it wasn't for the fact that I knew Jake would never leave me alone with Alice a second longer than necessary while she was in 'lets-make-up-Nessie' time I would have sworn I was in Alice's bathroom for over two hours. After curling all my hair, pulling the front sections and pinning them to the back while leaving the rest cascading down my back, she did my make-up. Though I was impressed by how little she used, it looked natural. She then made put on a red silk top with a sharp V neck, tight dark blue jeans and black heels. When she was done I looked into a floor length mirror, I looked, well, like a Cullen.

Alice and Rosalie always dressed like this when going to school, or out anywhere in public. But since I couldn't go out too often, (because I was always changing) I wasn't often dressed up like this. I mean sure Alice would buy me this stuff, but I was never the same size long enough for me to wear anything for long.

"So what do you think?" Alice asked coming up beside me. I was the second shortest person in the family; I was two inches shorter than mom and four inches taller than Alice.

"Um, I don't know. I think I look-?" I said not really sure what the word I was looking for was.

"Sexy?" Alice asked.

"Yeah maybe that's it. Man that's so weird." I said turning to look at my backside in the mirror.

"What is sweetie?"

"Sexy. I mean two years ago I was cute, and four years ago I was adorable. It's just weird that's all." I said with a shrug.

Alice laughed. "Well get used to it because this is how you're going to look forever!"

"Hey Nessie ready to go!" I heard Jake yell from down stairs.

"Coming!" I called back. I hugged Alice, gave her my thanks and headed down stairs wondering if Jake would like my outfit.


Jacob's POV

I waited in the living room with Bella, Edward, and Jasper. Everyone else had left yesterday for a hunting trip and wouldn't be back 'till later tonight.

I was wearing pair of jeans and white button up shirt. I couldn't even remember the last time I wore something more than shorts and a t-shirt, but I knew Nessie would like it; it would give something else to tease me about. It was odd, I knew as a guy that being teased by a girl should bother me, but when Nessie did it, smirking and giggling, I couldn't seem to make myself mind.

The sound of someone coming down the stairs made me stand up from the loveseat I had been sitting on. I waited at the bottom on the stairs for Nessie. But it was Alice that came down. As soon as she reached the bottom step Bella took Edward by the hand and lead him out of the house, Edward looking very confused.

As soon as they left Alice smiled at me and whispered. "Jacob tonight Renesmee is trying something new out, and she's kind of sensitive about it. So I need you to be careful about what you say about her outfit?"

I nodded slowly, kind of confused. "Oh and I took care of that thing you are going to ask me about!" She said happily.

She seemed to be getting better at seeing my future.

But then Nessie came into view and I felt my mouth open slightly and my eyes bulge. Wearing a red top with a V front, a rather low front and rather tight jeans Nessie looked…I'm not even sure what the word is. But it was one that I didn't use on Nessie. I met her sparkling eyes as she reached the bottom step. She was almost my height this way.

"So what do you think?" She asked not looking away, but right in the eyes.

I shut my mouth before speaking and took a deep breath before speaking, I wasn't sure all what was going on but I didn't want to mess things up with Nessie so I wanted to make sure I got this right. "You look great." I said smiling.

She beamed back her smile lighting up her face.

I faked a cough and leaning closer to her and whispered. "Great; now can we go before Alice finds something wrong with what I'm wearing and we're here for another hour?" I said smirking, knowing Alice would hear me.

Nessie nodded her head and headed for the door. I'm not really sure when but sometime Alice had made her way to the couch where Jasper was, and was now sitting in his lap with a pouted look on her face, while Jasper just smirked at me.

I grinned waved and walked out the door with Nessie beside me.


Renesmee POV

As we walked out the front door I glanced again at Jake. He was wearing a white button up shirt, the top three buttons undone and nice long jeans. When was the last time I even saw him wear jeans that didn't have a rip at the knee? It's not like he dresses like a slob or anything, it's just he never goes anywhere, well he goes where I go, and that's nowhere.

He walked me to my side of the car and opened the door for me. "Jake you look really nice." I said before hopping into Jake's Rabbit.

He grinned. "Yeah? Glad you think so. Because it took me forever to find a decent shirt in all that stuff Alice bought me." He said shutting my door for me before jogging around the front to his door and sliding in.

"So where are we going?" I asked as we pulled out of the drive-way.

Jake shook his head. "Nope."

I raised an eyebrow. "You're not going to tell me?"

He shook his head yes.

"Not even a hint?" I asked jutting out my bottom lip.

"Nope."

I sighed in defeat. "Fine! Have it your way."

He grinned. "Thank you I will."

I felt a small smile form on my face at Jake's goofy grin. We rode the rest of ride in a comfortable silence. I didn't really pay attention to where we were heading, it didn't really matter, not that I wasn't curious, it just wasn't all that important. I was sure whatever we did tonight it was going to be great.


"Really?" I said looking at Jake standing next to me. We had just gotten out of the car at our first stop; the one Jake would tell me where we were going to. We were standing outside the movie theater!

He shrugged. "What's wrong with this?"

"Nothing." I said half laughing. "Just not what I was expecting. Shall we."

"Good, because if we don't hurry we're going to be late; and I've heard some pretty awesome things about this movie." He said taking my hand and pulling me into the building and past the ticket booth.

I was about to ask when Jake put his hand into his back pocket and pulled out two white slips. "I pre-ordered them."

Wow; was the only word that came to mind.

After getting our tickets ripped we went to our screen and sat three rows closer the screen from the middle row.

"So what are we watching?" I asked settling into my seat next to Jake.

He grinned "Mr. Fantastic Fox."

"What?"

"Mr. Fantastic Fox."

I shook my head. "I'm sorry I think I heard you wrong."

He laughed. "You didn't."

"Mr. Fan-" I broke off into laughter. "What the heck kind of name is that?"

"See you're already getting into it!" He said happily.

Right then the movie started.


Jake's POV

You think it would be impossible to smile so much that it would hurt if you were me, the guy that never didn't have a smile on his face. Yet as Nessie and I walked out of the theater mine did. The movie had been good, impressively so. But watching Nessie watch it was much more entertaining. To watch her face light up red from so much laughing. She was too cute not to watch.

"So where are we going now?" She asked climbing back into the car.

The first stop hadn't really been all that much, it was just something I saw when I was on the computer the other night and thought Nessie would get a kick out of. But now came the main event, I wasn't all that fond of what we were going to do, well just the wet part. (I think that has something to do with being part dog)

"If I wouldn't tell you what we were going to do when we came here, what makes you think I'll tell you where we are going next?"

Nessie sighed and leaned back into the seat. "You know this could get really annoying. We don't have too many more stops do we?"

I thought about telling her we only had one more, but then again, where was the fun in that? "Nope. No hints." I couldn't help but laugh at her irritated expression.

"You're really enjoying yourself over there aren't you?" She asked folding her arms over her chest.

I smiled and nodded. "Aren't you?" I asked slightly worried that she might actually be hurt by my laughing at her. My smile slipped at the thought.

But she was quick to say. "Yes!"

And my smile was back! But better yet so was hers.

"Jake I don't know what we are doing tonight, but thank you for a great night so far." She said unfolding her arms and taking my hand in her cold one, giving it a little squeeze.

"Yeah you think that now, but wait until we reach where we are going next, it's a long ride." I said speeding up at thinking just how far we were going. But I knew she would love it. And because of that it was worth it. I probably should have saved this for her birthday or something, but I knew we wouldn't be able to do it in Alaska. And I wasn't all that sure when we would be in a place to do it again. So I guess I was strewed for her birthday. Crap.

We rod in silence for a while before Nessie turned on the radio some oldies rock. She had really taken up Edward's music styles. She had even learned the piano. (She was better than Edward, in my opinion. Though she would deny it)

Finally, about an hour and a half later, I pulled down the dirt road drove for about three miles and parked.

Nessie raise one eyebrow at me. "Huh?"

I laughed at the babbled look on her face. "Oh come on. Don't you trust me?" I asked before hoping out of the car and opening her door for her.

She gave a hard look. "You know I did, but now I'm really starting to second guess my judgment." She said, but hopped out anyway.

I put a hand to my face. "Ow. You I think that hurt more than a real slap."

"You know we could always find out?" Nessie said sweetly folding her hands in front of her, her eyes sparkling brightly light laughter.

My lips pursed. "You've been spending for too much time with Emmett." I muttered. Nessie giggled and I walked to the back of my car and pulled out a bag from the back seat. Shutting the back door I grabbed my things out of the bag and handed it to Nessie, who was looking very intrigued.

She looked inside the bag and her face burned red. "Jacob Black!" Oops, that can't be good. "You went through my UNDERWEAR DRAWER!" She screeched.

Relief swept threw me, she was yelling at me for something I didn't do. Whew! I could handle this. "No! no," I said quickly grabbing her shoulders trying to get her to calm down enough to listen to what I was saying. "Alice did." I said loudly, not really sure if she was listening. But when I said Alice's name her face softened. "I knew you didn't want me to go through your things so I asked her to do it for me." Well not really asked, since she had 'seen' me asking before hand and got the stuff together before I could actually ask. Though I wasn't really sure why, I had packed her stuff before, like for camping trips and stuff. But ever since she started looking about 12 she demanded that I stop. And after that one time I slipped and forgot about it, man it sent shiver just thinking about Nessie being that cold to me. Let's just say I never forgot what she said again.

She took a deep breath. "Ok. Good." She looked into the bag again. "So why am I changing into a bathing suit?"

I shrugged. "Why shouldn't you? Why should you? Man you are nosy!"

"Fine! No more questions." She said walking toward the line of trees. "I'll just go change over here." She called over her shoulder before disappearing out of sight.

I was changed out of my jeans and into my black trunks in 1 ½ seconds, Nessie walked out of the woods in 4. She was wearing a large t-shirt over her bathing suit, the edge of the shirt reaching her thighs.

"So where to now?" Nessie asked tossing her clothes in the bag and throwing it into the back seat.

"Now we run."


Renesmee POV

I loved to run, to feel the wind rush past my face, and to feel it tangle in with all my hair as it whipped around behind me. And Jake was running next to me holding my hand, leading me to only he knew where! But it was fun; we zig-zagged through trees and bushes, dodging low branches and roots sticking out of the ground.

We ran for about ten minutes before I could see a break in the line of trees. Jake led us toward it. When we reached it the trees broke off and we were standing on an edge of a cliff facing the ocean.

Waves crashed into the wall of rock we were standing on far below.

"You're giving me diving lessons?" I asked completely confused.

Jake laughed. "No." He then proceeded to start walking backwards while counting his steps.

I couldn't help but laugh at how ridiculous he looked. "What do you think you are doing?" I asked following him back into the woods.

He held up a hand signaling me to wait, counted 5 more steps and stopped. "What did it look like I was doing?" He asked looking very proud of himself. "I thought it was painfully obvious. Now come stand next to me." He ordered. Shaking my head I did as I was told. Jake took my hand; his eyes gleaming he asked. "You ready?"

Not really sure I was or not I nodded my head. "Yep."

He grinned. "Ok so it's easy we just run as fast as we can to the edge of the cliff and jump as far out as we can. Got it?" He asked excited.

"Yeah, I think I got it." It wasn't that much to remember. I took off my shirt throwing it to the side, Jake did the same. I had seen him without a shirt on before; heck he hardly ever wore a shirt! But all of a sudden it seemed different. I shook my head and looked straight ahead.

"Ok on three. One. Two. THREE!" He said and we both broke off into a run; jumping a half a second later. And then we were flying! (well I've never flew before, but I'd bet this is what flying felt like)

It was so beautiful. The sun was almost set in front of us turning the sky all different shades of orange and red, the water reflected the sky. I looked over at Jake, who was still holding my hand and smiled at him. "This is so cool!" I yelled.

And then we were falling. "Dive!" Jake said four seconds before we hit the water.

Quickly I arranged my body right, just in time to enter the water smoothly. As soon as we entered the water Jake tugged on my hand and he pointed down; and we started to swim, vampire/werewolf speed of course, down. We swam about 10 feet when I was them.

Dolphins.

I gasped into the water, but it didn't matter, I didn't really need the air anyway. I looked at Jake, he was watching me closely, and then I looked back the dolphins. There had to be a thousand of them! They were all swimming around one another, some had babies following closely behind them, others looked like they would be having a baby following behind them soon.

I watched in awe for a minute before throwing my arms around Jake neck. He hugged me back for a second before pulling back and nodding his head at the beautiful creatures swimming a little below us; as if to say 'what are you waiting for?'

I looked at Jake in wonder, how on earth did I get so lucky? I mouthed 'thank you'; he shrugged grinning like a smug fool. I couldn't even roll my eyes at him; I just smiled brightly before swimming towards the dolphins.

One came up from behind nudging my back gently with its nose. I turned around and reached out and touched its smooth skin on the side of its body. It seemed to like that because it flipped over, showing me it's belly. I was rubbing its belly when I saw something brown go by. I looked up and saw Jake holding a dolphin by the top fin and the dolphin carrying him around.

Jake looked so natural down here. Then again he did anywhere outside. His hair was pulled back into a ponytail flowing behind him in the water. Something about his bronze skin and brown hair in the blue water and the dolphin and its light grey colors was so soothing and beautiful that if I had any breath in my lungs I would have lost it.

The dolphin I hadn't realized I had stopped rubbing turned right side up and was still, as if waiting for something. Not sure what else to do I grabbed hold of its top fin; this seemed to be right because as soon as I did it took off. It swam smoothly through the water not really seeming to have a pattern. I let it drag me through the water; and it eventually brought me next to Jake where I hopped off. I pointed up and we swam to the surface.

As soon as we broke through the surface I hugged Jake again. "HOLY CRAP!" I squealed.

Jake laughed, holding me close. "I'll take that as your way of saying you liked it."

I shook my head pulling back a little so I could look at him. "Like it doesn't even begin to describe it! How did you know!? How did you even know I liked dolphins?" I asked in a rush. I hadn't told anybody that, I thought it seemed kind of childish and since I was three I could block people, aka dad, no one knew about it.

He grinned knowingly. "Let's just say I know you better than anyone."

Right now I couldn't care that he was dodging the question, I was far too happy!

Still smiling Jake sighed. "I have to get you back." He said softly.

I pouted. "But why?"

"Now, now please don't do that. If it were up to me we would stay here all night, but I promised Bella I would get you home before 10:00. And we have a long ride home."

"Fine." I said still pouting a little. I let Jake pull me back to the cliff we had jumped off and we climbed up it, grabbed our shirts, and ran back to Jake's Rabbit.

We had been riding for about 10 minutes before I slid closer to Jake and leaned into his side, he put his arm around my shoulders. "Jake tonight was the best night of my life." I said yawning out the last word.

I heard and felt Jake chuckle. "I'm glad. Now go to sleep." He said softly.

I snuggled father into his side and let my surprising heavy eyelids shut. I could feel Jake's steady breathing, feel the rise and fall of his chest. I let that sound, the soothing sound of his breathing lull me to sleep.


Jacob's POV

I heard Nessie's breathing even out and become a steady rhythm, meaning she fell asleep. I smiled to myself and kissed the top of her head. Nessie had been right; tonight had been perfect. All of it.

Even with that odd moment under the water. When I saw Nessie wearing her black two piece bathing suit hair flowing around her, rubbing the side of the dolphin's face…I didn't even know what the word I was looking for when I saw her, a small smile on her face, I still didn't know what the word was, maybe beautiful, but that wasn't it, it needed to have more meaning than that. I had shaken it off at the time, but now I was wondered what that was, that feeling, it was so, so, different, new.

But I didn't, couldn't let it bother me now, I was too happy.

When I reach the house I parked the car and carried Nessie inside. I passed Carlisle and Esme in the living room as I headed for the stairs. I walked into Nessie's room, pushed back her purple comforter with my foot and laid her onto the bed. Gently I tucked her in. I gave her one last kiss on the forehead and headed out of the room.

I had just reached the door like a good boy but I stopped like a bad one. I looked back over my shoulder at Nessie's sleeping form.

'It wouldn't hurt anybody…' I thought; a grin sliding into place on my face. As quietly as I could I walked back to Nessie's bed; I knelt down next to it and debated for about a second, if Nessie ever found out she would kill me, but the grin was still in place.

Man; why even fight myself if I knew what I was going to do in the end!

So I slid my hand into Nessie's.

Pictures filled my mind as I saw what Nessie dreamed.

She dreamed about what we did tonight, all of it. I felt a smile on my face.

But then one part kept playing over and over again. It was of me being pulled by one of the dolphins.

I felt my forehead crease. I wonder what was so special about that. I had learned a long time ago that if Nessie was dreaming about something she liked she'd tend to repeat that over and over.

I took my hand out of Nessie's and looked down at her. She had a smile on her face. Shrugging I got to my feet. Who was I to questioned what made her happy. Just as long as she was happy, so was I.

And she would stay happy, as long as she didn't know I watched part of her dreams every night before I went to bed.

'And on that note' I thought as I walked out of the room.
