I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS

Chapter 3

Jacob's POV

"Can we take a walk?" I asked nervously.

"Sure Jake." Renesmee said with a curious look in her eyes.

I opened the door and waved my arm signaling for her to go first. She noticed my gesture and walked out the door in front of me.

"I'll be right back. I'm just going to go phase." I said as we walked into the tree crowded forest.

"Ok…..I'll wait here." She said just looking at the trees.

When I got back she was sitting under a tree close to where she had been standing. I turned my head signaling for her to climb on my back. She got on and I started running deep into the forest. I stopped near a pond. I lowered to the ground so she would have an easier time getting of my back. When she was standing strait on the ground, her elbow was how high my back was. She jumped off. I ran into the forest to go phase back. When I came back she was pocking something with a stick. I couldn't figure out what it was. Maybe a dead animal. It had been an awkward silence for a minute. Nessie said the first word.

"So….What's up Jake?" She said dropping the stick and looking at me.

"Umm….I need to talk to you." I said picking up a rock and skipping it across the water.

"Okay…What about?" She asked picking up a rock and throwing it. It took me a minute to answer. I hadn't really thought about how I might start the conversation.

"Have you ever heard of imprinting?" I asked waiting for her answer.

"A little bit. My mom told me it was a wolf thing." She said.

"Well…It is. Imprinting is when a wolf finds it's soul mate. It's other half. It's happened to some of the wolves I know. Quil imprinted on Clair. Paul imprinted on my sister Rachel. Sam on Emily."

"Oh…Have you imprinted yet?" Nessie asked. It was obvious she was very curious.

"Ya…I have." I said. It seemed like a such a long time until she answered.

"On who?" She said. Now it was her turn to wait for my answer. I was really nervous. Not that it just began. I was nervous the entire time since I walked in the front door.

"You." I said wondering how she was going to react. Her mouth opened and formed a perfect circle. In her eyes I could see confusion and almost happiness. I waited for her to say something but I don't think she could. She was too overwhelmed. She had taken all this in, in a matter of 20 minutes or so.

"Are you okay?" I asked wondering if she was in shock.

"Ya…sorry….I'm fine." She said very calm. What had been on her mind?

"What's on your mind Ness?" I said. I needed to know what she was thinking.

"I don't know how to explain it. But…somehow, I always knew…..that…there was something between us. And now I know why. I was just putting all together in my mind. That's all." She said looking at me with a look of embarrassment on her face.

"What do you mean?" I said very confused. She laughed at my confusion.

"Well….I said I knew somehow there was something between us. Before that you said we were soul mates. The other half. I thought maybe the feeling was mutual. But since you're the wolf and all that you knew and there was something that was trying to make me understand it." She explained to me.

"Oh….I kind of get where you're getting at." I said tapping my finger to my chin.

"Jake?" She asked.

"Ya?" I answered back to her.

"When did you imprint on me?" Nessie asked looking into my eyes.

"The day you were born." I confessed.

"Do my parents know?" She asked kind of worried.

"Yes…but your mom wasn't too happy about it. Your dad already knew because he read my mind. Your mother got even angrier at me when she heard the nickname I gave you." I told her.

"Why did she get mad?" She asked.

"Well….let's just say she didn't like the idea of you being nicknamed after the Loch Ness Monster." I said trying not to laugh at the old memories. It was quiet for a few minutes after that. Nessie broke the silence.

"Should we be heading back now?" She asked.

"I think so." I said. "I'll be right back. I'm gonna go phase."

"Okay." She said turning around looking at the pond. I jogged into the trees and phased. I came back and nudged her showing her to get on my back. I lowered and she got on. We ran back to the Cullen's. It only took us about 10 minutes. When we got back I told Edward in my head that I had to go back to La Push to talk to the pack. He told Nessie and she patted my head and said good bye.
