Year One

"No, no Renesmee you can't touch him." Bella's lips blurred as she spoke quietly and only to Nessie, I could only barely catch the comment, today was her first shopping trip as Bella had named it. I was completely against it, as was Edward but even Carsile agreed it may be good for her to be around humans to make it easier for her, seeing as she was in the same predicament as Jasper, they preferred human blood.

Personally, I think why not just lock her in a room with them, you'll get the same result, I mean, I could already see she was having a hard time. It was still early so there weren't a lot of people, but there were enough for her too feel uncomfortable, so I opened my mouth to speak and was stopped by Bella…again.

"No Jake, this is good for her, she's fine." Her tone was a little sharp, she loved me and trusted me but she admitted to a bit of jealousy when we were together. It made me smile though, Nessie cared about me enough to do that, to make her nervous.

As if summoned by my thoughts, she turned and smiled brightly reaching out her hand for me to take and I did so, internally wincing a bit as I felt her slight blood lust, but she seemed content. She wanted to touch them not for the sake of hurting them but to feel if they were the same as Charlie. I laughed out loud, her thoughts were always so innocent. She pouted a bit at my laughter but was happy enough.

"I told you so." Bella sounded smug and I had to finally give in, there was no winning with them teamed up.

"Fine…you know we almost look like a family." I laughed a bit and Bella just shook her head and smiled before pointing.

"Make yourself useful and go get a cart, she wants to sit."

I waved my hand obligingly "Sure, sure, you spoil her you know."

"As if you don't?" She retorted smoothly and smiled to Nessie, I rolled my eyes and walked towards the carts, it was still strange sometimes to see Bella like that. I had come to terms with it months ago but it was still a surprise to my eyes to not see Bella as a human and instead Bella the no longer clumsy vampire.

It was also surprising sometimes to me to watch her play with Emmet, she was still technically a new born and so much stronger than average and much stronger than Emmet to his dismay. I always got a kick out of how strong she was and her triumph look after each match, it also made me laugh to look at her petit frame and mine and think that she was in fact par with me, if not stronger right now.

I wheeled the basket back already expecting the small complaint from Bella about it's off wheel but it would have to do because it was the last one.

"Here."

"Jake, the wheels all messed up." I knew it.

"There's no more left." She held out Nessie to me, and I grabbed her letting her stand on the floor, she had grown a bit more recently it looked like, but it was almost the end of her first year.

"Cover me." Bella muttered, I did so, already guessing her plan and Nessie giggled a little, I smiled with her and heard a small shriek from the metal of the basket as she bent it back into place. I turned and shook my head at her.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"I think she could have survived a retarded wheel." I said as I pick up Nessie to put her in the basket, and image of me pushing her flashing through my mind.

"I didn't do it for her, I hate pushing baskets like that." She said with a laugh, I rolled my eyes, leave it to her.

"She wants me to push her for a bit." She nodded and we continued. We continued in silence, Bella grabbing things randomly here and there, she didn't need them but I did and she needed to make it look as if we were actually shopping. The silence made me think back to recent events.

It had been over five months since the volturi attacked, well they hadn't really, I had almost been wishing for more of a fight…ok, well, my wolf instincts had but I mainly wanted to protect Nessie, I'd even managed to make…nice with Edward. Which reminds me of the fact he has taken to treating me like his son, more so since he admitted that the day of the confrontation, sometimes it drove me crazy but for the most part it was alright.

Actually for that matter mostly everything was alright, well for the most part not including the incident with the parachute…ya that was better left unmentioned in Bella's presence seeing as I don't have a death wish. I think she over reacted though I mean, I was worried too! I thought she was going to die! Of course that didn't warrant her half drowning me in the water when she found me…she told me to think of it as forced cliff diving, ya right.

For the most part life is good, I'm watching Nessie grow up, courtesy of Bella, I can still remember her face the day I told her…not pretty. Just saying.

The only concern I have is Edward's constant probing, while he trusts me completely, I know he checks my mind to see if my thoughts ever go downhill, speaking of my imprinting, it's a bit of a pain lately. It's reacting to each subtle shift she has as she grows and it's close to the end of her first year. She looks like she's five, sometimes I get upset though, thinking she may have missed and maybe will miss experiences of most people her age, but then I think that we all provide enough for her and I feel ok again.

Now I know how women feel during PMS, you just can't help it, my imprinting is beginning to shift away from overprotect father-like feelings to that of a big brother and it's only in reaction to her thoughts on our relationship.

If I didn't love her it'd be a real pain in the ass.

"Jake, we're all done." She sounded annoyed and slightly nervous and I picked up on the sent that I had missed and cursed silently. Edward was beside us in about a second after catching my thoughts and Bella's, he was already picking up Nessie when they came around the corner.

This is why it's almost perfect, the volturi have taken a liking to sending Alec and Jane to check up on us, not so much as to fight but it seems that Aro(damn is he some kind of crack head) has taken a unique and creepy liking to Nessie. He feels the need to watch her progress.

"It has been awhile."

"Not long enough."

"Jacob Black." Both said and nodded, I hate vampire hearing abilities

"Are you leaving already?" Jane asked a deceptively cheerful smile on her face, but her eyes were spitting fire. She was still trying to get through Bella's barrier, no wonder she never put it down when they were around I could feel it now. She was pretty good as it lately.

"Yes, we have everything we need. Tell Aro hello." Edward said stiffly, he obviously had noted Jane's attack as well. Alec nodded sagely, his face blank as he spoke.

"I see. Aro wished us to come, near the end of this year; she has grown."

"Yes, she'll stop and go slower as the year's go on." Bella said with forced cheerfulness, I simply choose not to speak, I know myself well enough to know when to shut up. And now is one of those times.

"Well it was nice seeing you…you as well Jacob Black." Her voice was a touch colder than usual, she must have seen it on my face, the way I was mentally kicking her ass and cursing the volturi. So I just nodded, knowing an insult would come out as soon as I opened my mouth.

"We will be in touch." Alec said with a nod and they were gone.

"I really hate them." I muttered darkly, Edward just sighed and Bella snatched Nessie's hand to hear what she thought and nodded a little.

"She doesn't care for them much either but she says we should be more polite." Laughter underlay her morbid tone.

"I think we just got scolded by our daughter."

Bella nodded before continuing "She also wishes to speak with Jane next time."

"Nessie…" I groaned and she just giggled. Sometimes she was just too much to handle.

We walked in and Alice was immediately standing in front of us her eyes accusing.

"Must you all go? It's bad enough this thing blocks my sight but so does Nessie." She tended to call me names when I interfered with something she wanted to see.

"I seen the volturi but nothing else!" She exclaimed exasperated with our silence, Bella let Nessie down and I followed her as she grabbed my hand, her mind already demanding we go hunt. I let the thought wander through my mind and Edward leaned by Bella's ear before following so I only caught the end of their conversation.

"I don't like them here! And she wants to speak with them Alice, speak! Jane has tried almost every time I do—"

"Shh, we'll talk somewhere else, you forget that Nessie can probably hear us."

Nessie is something dangerous when we hunt, she is quick and I often wonder sometimes how it is that I beat her to the catch. It makes her a little mad too, which is entertaining, especially when she stomps her foot it reminds me that she really is pretty little, just smart.

I don't really prefer to eat too often in wolf form, I have no problems with it when I let my mind go but other than that, I'd rather do it only when necessary. It grosses me out almost as much as catching Emmet and Rosalie when they make out, not fun to walk in on.

Pictures swirl through my mind, clear and in a precise order, telling me she's done eating but not really showing me what she ate. I can smell Edward not far behind and he's not happy. Today is just full of joy right?

"They didn't leave."

"Who?" Nessie is racing ahead of us happily, sometimes it's weird to talk without speaking, but for the most part I'm used to it.

"Jane and Alec, they are staying till the end of the year, they were hoping I wouldn't notice them."

"Alice didn't see it?" I know later I'm going to bug her for that one, Edward chuckles a little before continuing.

"No, it was a last minute decision, someone met them half-way, it seems they were working Alice's blindside."

I didn't need to say anything, the anger radiating off me was enough. What did they think they were doing? This was supposed to be over, then again we knew the moment they first 'checked-up' that something was off. Edward ground his teeth, just for the record it sounds like nails on a chalk-board.

"They want her and Bella to join, they think if Jane and Alec can get friendly with her she will agree."

"Not likely." But I already know what he's thinking because the same thought is running through my mind, Nessie wanted to talk to Jane, why?

Nessie is stopped at the house, happy and racing inside to her mom, I wish sometimes that she could stay this way, if the volturi want something to do with her I doubt the care-free days will last forever. I hate thinking about these things though they make me feel old.

Edward laughs a little then disappears, leaving me to change in privacy.

"DON"T CAHNGE WHERE I CAN SEE YOU!" Rosalie's shriek rattles the glass, literally breaking two, I can hear the glass falling, I laugh.

"We all know you love me." Emmet lets out a barking laugh.

"Mutt." Rosalie hisses as she walks by, her eyes promising payback. Yea, I think I might actually miss these days, when things get serious they won't be as…

I can almost feel the crash and Esme darts out to speak and then back in a smile on her face "I'll take the newspaper out and find your bed."

Never mind. She can die.

"Ugly vampire." Laughter follows as I step in.

"Don't forget to change the paper, just in case you have an accident."
