Chapter three- Bella

Jacob black was there was me when Edward wasn't. He gave me reason to live. Even when I became what he hated the most he stayed, when I got pregnant was Edward's child he never left me. He left his pack for me. He fought vampires to keep me safe—he broke half the bones in his body trying to keep them away from me. There was a million debts I could never repay to Jacob Black, he was my best friend.

Granted sometimes he was a complete nightmare when it came to Edward but he didn't just want to miss his chance with me and wonder 'what if?' As I much as I wished he had.

Jacob Black was once more than a friend, I depended on him way more than that. I loved him. But times pass and things change. I'm now married to Edward and I'm a Vampire.

My daughter, Renesmee meant everything to me. Her bright smile, rosy cheeks and chocolate eyes remind me of when she was just a newborn – when I was a newborn. In ways no man is ever good enough for your daughter, and Jacob Black hardly qualifies for a suitable candidate when it came to my daughter's heart. However I had seen imprinting first hand and it's an unstoppable force of nature. Plus who else would put up with a girl who bites when she's angry?

As usual it was Edward who made everything awkward. As Renesmee grew older he grew more and more protective and more and more against the "Jacob idea".

"Bella the guy let you jump off a cliff" he argued, his face looked weaker than usual. I couldn't really sympathise though. "he didn't let me. I went against his will, and thats a recreational sport. People do it every day and It was kinda fun" I said.

"Fun for you" he muttered. "He had you riding a motorbike" he said. I raised my hand "again, my idea"

"He made you ask him to kiss you. He gave you no choice. He threatened with his life, what if he did that with our Nessie?" I cringed at the thought and the memory that followed. "Stop it Edward!" I demanded.

"That was me remember? Renesmee is less foolish than me. She's different and he loves her more." I pointed out. "He would never in a million years let her jump off that cliff the way he let me"

"Maybe your right" he gave in and laid back, his eyes rolled to the ceiling in defeat. "But this is not me agreeing to him marrying her!" he sighed. We both knew our precious Renesmee wasn't going to be young and innocent for anywhere near long enough.

The door to our cottage creaked open and I sprung to my feet as Renesmee peeped through the door "Who are you trying to avoid?" I asked,

"Only you" she confessed and walked straight through the room into her bedroom. Edward rolled his eyes. If I wasn't one myself I would proberbly of slated teenagers like every other mother.

"Actually we need to talk!" I called. Edward frantically shook his head "Oh no we don't. Please Bella. I changed my mind I dont like it." He said using a tone he knew Renesmee couldn't hear. I gave him my best 'Oh come on' look.

"Maybe I'm too busy right now" she said quietly thinking we couldn't hear then she walked into the room we stood in. "Okay, shoot." She looked at us.

"Since when did we get boring?" Edward really sounded like the past-middle-aged dad every kid's embarassed to have. She looked like she really didnt want to be there.

"Your not... boring. Just... less than interesting" she smirked. "Just say what you have to say so I can get back to doing nothing" she sat on the big arm chair in the corner of the room.

"You know Jacob Black?" I asked. She nodded. Wow, way to point out the obvious. "Well he told you that he's imprinted on you hasn't he?" A half nod. "We just wanted you to know that whatever you choose we are going to be here" I looked at Edward who was just looking to the ceiling.

A unsure nod. "Is that it?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. "Basically Edward has agreed to give Jake a chance. So you can do whatever you like without worrying about what we think" I said.

"Oh, erm.. well okay" she said. "Do you even like him?" Edward snapped his head up to look at her. "I don't know. He's cute" she shrugged him. "Cute" he laughed, giving in.

"Not his personality? Good friend? Loyalty? Compassion??" I asked. "He's not a single one of them" Edward said with a smile. "In that aspect he's really amazing. If you must know. He's the closest thing to a friend I have, ....besides you guys" she looked to Edward who laid emotionless.

Jacob was my friend, an odd surge of Jealously washed over me. It was soon gone though when I looked to my oh-too-perfect husband. "Can I go?" she asked, I nodded silently.

When Renesmee walked out of the cottage I sat next to him, and looked at his emotionless face "Was that really so terrible?" I asked. He nodded. "What do you have to do in this place to get someone to give a better answer than a nod?" I mumbled. He laughed and turned to face me, "What kind of parents are we?" he asked.

"The best kind?" I tried,

"Try the worst. We'de have to be pretty bad to feed our daughter to the dogs"
