Renesmee had known since her first birthday that she wanted to marry Seth Clearwater, since the day she had met Seth, the same day she was born, Renesmee had decided that the shifter with kind eyes, and that always smelled like spring, was her's. She had been beyond happy to know that Seth wanted to be around her, too.
Now, Renesmee was seven, she was all grown up, and she knew what she wanted.
Tonight, she was going to kiss Seth.
She had wanted to kiss Seth, since the moment she was physically sixteen, that was when her feelings for him started to change, from a platonic love to a romantic love.
She knew she was Seth's imprint, she had known that since she was born, but she still feared that he wouldn't love her, the same way she loved him. He was her best friend, her protector, that didn't mean he had to love her, even though, all the other imprints would argue that, there was no proof that it would be the same for them.
Their situation was unique.
Seth was her mate, the first and only person she would ever love, she had always known that, she just never really realized it.
Renesmee just had to get enough courage to tell him.
She had gotten Alice and Rosalie to help her get together, Alice helping with her clothes, and Rosalie did her hair and make-up.
Renesmee was completely happy with the outcome, the little black dress Alice had given her, fit Renesmee perfectly, like a glove, the tall heels would boost her up closer to Rosalie's height, but she would still be shorter than Seth. She was excited to see Seth, to show off her body, to impress him.
Her hair fell around her in its normal ringlets down her back, but Rosalie had clipped pieces her long hair to the right side of her head with a silver butterfly clip. She would have preferred something a little more adult, but Seth liked butterflies, so maybe it was good.
"You look beautiful." Bella said. "Your father is not pleased, but he'll get over it." She giggled.
Renesmee smiled, at least her father, Edward, was trying. It couldn't be easy to know that she had grown up, in short seven years, and was planning on spending the rest of her forever with his best friend.
She gave Bella a quick hug before heading down to where the party had only just started, she had all of her friends and family here, her final birthday. After this one, they wouldn't matter anymore, she would never age, she'd never grow old, celebrating with Seth was probably the only thing that she would ever do now.
Looking over the party that had started in the backyard, Renesmee saw Jacob, Leah, Charlie, and Sue. The happy couples talking until Charlie noticed Renesmee, instantly opening his arms when Renesmee got closer, so he could hug her. Renesmee loved anytime she got to spend with her grandfather and Sue. Renesmee had hated leaving them behind when the family had to move away, the only reason she didn't throw a fit was because Seth was coming with her.
"You look beautiful, Nessie." Sue smiled.
"Are you looking for Seth?" Jacob chimed in before Renesmee could thank Sue.
"Yes!" Renesmee grinned.
Leah pointed behind her, and Renesmee spun around to see that Seth stood not that far away, talking animatedly with Alice. If there was a line-up of who Seth got along best within Cullen family, the first would be Renesmee, obviously, but as much as it begged Edward, Alice would definitely be second. Renesmee would wager that it was the same for Alice.
Renesmee hesitated in going over to them, not because she thought she would interrupt,but because she loved to just look at Seth, and maybe she had taken it a little overboard once when she had broken into his bedroom to watch him sleep.
Edward had done the same thing with Bella, and nobody found it weird.
Seth was absolutely the most beautiful person in the world.
Renesmee took a deep breath, giving a quick goodbye to the couples before making her way to Seth.
When he turned towards her, Renesmee was sure the earth stopped turning. His eyes widened a little, Alice shot her a bright smile before skipping off to Jasper's side, and Renesmee was hoping in her head that Seth liked the outfit.
"Renesmee..." He breathed out.
"Seth." Renesmee smiled.
They stood there in silence, both of them just admiring each other.
"You look beautiful." Seth finally said.
"Thank you. You look rather beautiful yourself." Renesmee chimed.
Seth laughed. "I highly doubt anyone would think I look beautiful when next to you." Seth reached up brushing a hand through his raven locks.
Renesmee reached up, carefully cupping Seth's face, and then moving onto her tiptoes as she closed the distance between them. Seth's lips were soft, warm, like kissing a flower petal. Through this little touch, Renesmee showed Seth just how much she loved him, just how much he meant to her, and how she would rather die than ever see him in any pain.
Seth's hands were a large, warm, presence on her back, holding her close, and she pressed her hands against his chest, floating on a cloud of happiness that she had finally told Seth just how much he meant to her.
When the kiss finally broke, Renesmee smiled widely before speaking.
"Nobody has ever loved anybody like I love you, Seth Clearwater." Renesmee promised.
