Happily Ever After;;
Chapter One - Six and a Half Years Later

A beautiful creature woke up next to me in our room. It had always been generous of her family to let me move in. I could never repay them. However, it was something that I don't think I needed to do. They had repaid me for saving Bella so much more than they had hoped. They gave me this beautiful creature that laid next to me.

"Renesmee. Jacob. Wake up." The beautiful creature's mother said knocking on the door. She tried not to disturb us. She was the one that worried more than Renesmee's father about me and her being so close.

Yes, Bella and I were still close. This was only because Renesmee kept us close. Kept us together.

I shook Renesmee's shoulder gently. It was so hard to believe that she was as grown as she would ever be just at the ripe young age of seven. She reminded me of her parents. Much like them.

Renesmee shook her head on my chest. I laughed. This was the morning routine. I would wake up before her and try to wake her. Then I would try to get out of bed, but she would wake up immediately and wonder where I was going. It was as if no time passed for her.

This morning was like every other.

I had important news that I needed to go over with Bella and Edward. Edward was just as protective of Renesmee as the rest of us. He actually kinda grew on me. He was like family now. I didn't want Renesmee to know what I was talking to them about though. That was the surprise.

"Where are you going, Jake? Its not time to get up yet." Her eyes were still closed moving slightly. Her body curled up closer to mine.

I kissed her forehead. "I'll be right back Nessie. I want to talk to Bella and Edward after I go patrolling."

Her eyes opened suspiciously. "Why do you want to talk to them? Its not my birthday yet. One more week."

I rolled my eyes and kissed her again. "I promise I'll be right back, Ness."

She pouted her all too cute pout as I climbed out of the bed. She rolled over in the space that I had been laying and then smiled at me. She was so beautiful.

I leaned down to kiss her again before I left the room. She kissed me back and closed her chocolate brown eyes.

I walked out of the room of the house. We had moved here only a few weeks ago. We lived with the rest of the Cullens in this big house in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Bella, Edward, Nessie and I slept on the third second floor. The others slept on the third floor.

We lived within walking distance of the school that Renesmee and I were to attend. I walked out of the room and down the stairs. Esme was renovating the house still.

"Hey Esme. Where's Bells and Edward?"

"On the back porch, dear. How is Nessie this morning?"

"Still asleep, I think."

She smiled at me as I went out the door to the porch. Edward and Bella were sitting on the porch swing. I took a deep breath. It scared me a little bit to talk to my girlfriends parents, even though they were my best friends before Renesmee even came along.
