Disclaimer: Being sick still does not magically transform me into Stephanie Meyer.

Disclaimer Dos: This starts in the past where the last chapter left off. I will catch up with Nessie's present day life later on.

Disclaimer Tres:I am sick so I plan on writing more. I have been really busy with my college classes so it has taken me a while to get this one out. Hope you like it and I would love it if you review since I worked really hard to get this out for you. Thanks!

Jasper's POV

When I took over the father role for Renesmee I made sure she knew how to shoot the nine off a clock at 200 yards. I took Ness out on the overcast weekends or evenings to climb rocky cliff edges, snowboard, hike, and just to be outdoors for no reason at all. I would like to believe that we spent so much time together because we loved each other's company, but deep down I knew it was my sad way to get her away from her mother. While I waited for Jacob to return from La Push I tried my best to distract Renesmee. She needed him to calm her. Renesmee was never the same without Jacob around. It was as if life drained out of her when he was away. Even though I knew she would never complain about him being gone, she missed him. They, in themselves, were a miniature family inside our family. Renesmee was the best thing that ever happened to Jacob.

Jacob was ready to leave La Push immediately when I called and told him Ness was in trouble. I knew Billy was still really sick, but Jacob needed to come back.

"Yeah Jake, things are really starting to fall apart here. Bella is obsessing over Alex and Ness is about to do something we might all regret. She misses you," I stated. Even though Jake wasn't within 100 yards of me, it was as if I could feel the sinking feeling he had developed in the pit of his stomach. "I know you love Ness, and believe me, in the past 200 years I have never known a girl quite like her. She is strong-willed and you are the only person who can stop her from blowing up and destroying what is left of this family. Alice and I have taken over the role as her parents because Edward is too busy playing referee. I know your dad is sick, but you have to come home," I pleaded.

"Jasper, I will leave as soon as we hang up. I can fix this, I promise. I think you, me, Alice, and Ness need to get out of the house for a while. We need to talk when I get back. See you soon," He finished. I never really understood why he loved Bella so much before. I guess he assumed Renesmee was the next best thing when Bella decided to choose Edward, yet Renesmee turned out to be even better. He just didn't know it yet.

Renesmee's POV

I knew Jacob was back before I heard his car door shut in the driveway. The scent he gave off was unique to him only. Even though it was unmistakably wolf in origin, he had a sweet, musty, earthy tone to his scent. All of the other boys in the pack smelt like rotten flesh and unbathed wolf. No wonder why everyone turns away when they enter the room. My first instinct was to run to the door and leap into Jacob's arms, but I decided to hide in the shadows and try to listen to him talk to Jasper first.

"Billy is felling okay, he is still restricted to bed rest. He is getting irritable though. Even though he hasn't been able to walk for years, he still doesn't want to sit in bed all day. So stubborn," Jacob shared. The rest of the family had come into the living room to welcome Jacob back home.

Jasper laughed at Jake's last sentence, "Ha, I would have never guessed. I thought that you had just developed your own stubbornness from spending too much time with Sam." Jacob glared at Jasper and he stopped his little game right away. Jake then must have realized that I was missing because his attention shifted away from the family to search for me.

"Where is Ness?" Jacob asked rather frantically.

"She's hiding around the corner lover boy. Relax," Edward answered. I figured my little secret was up so I walked in to join the rest of the family. Jacob's face instantly lit up.

"Nessie! I have missed you so much!" Jacob couldn't contain his excitement. I ran over to him and he snatched me up, spinning me in a circle until I became dizzy.

"Jacob, put me down!" I pleaded.

"Never! I will never let you go!" Jacob screamed back. I decided kicking him was the best option. Even though he was solid muscle, he would still get the point. He set me down and I ran for it as fast as I could get out the open door. Jacob took it as a challenge and chased after me. I kept running through the woods, darting left and right dodging trees. Heavy steps sounded behind me and I knew he had phased and was gaining on me. The river was coming into view so I stepped back, jumped effortlessly, and landed on the other bank in a matter of seconds. Jacob didn't stop. He would chase me to the end of the earth and still keep going if I chose. Today sounded like a fun day to try.

I stopped in a clearing outside of La Push and I knew that Jacob recognized it immediately. It was the same place where his pack had always met before he separated and went off on his own.

"Ness, we shouldn't be here. Sam will know were here and come looking for me," he had phased back to human and was pleading for me to go.

"Don't be silly Jacob, we aren't doing anything wrong. Plus all your old friends love me. I am not in any danger here," I tried to convince him. He charged me, scooped me up, and ran back through the forest towards home.

Once we reached the field by my parent's house he set me down. We hunted for a few minutes and then went into my parent's house. It seemed empty. I remember it being very homey when we first moved here. They didn't spend much time here since Alex came around.

"Jacob, we should hang out here for a while. Mom and Dad aren't going to be back here anytime soon," I merely stated. His face flushed like I was implying something.

"Ness," Jacob paused. "I don't know if we should pursue this right now. I mean I love you and I want to marry you but," he stopped.

I interrupted. "Jake, I am technically only four years old. I may look 16, but I am so much younger. I don't know if you want to go marrying a four year old" I laughed. The thought was ridiculous. My parents would kill us if we got married. I needed to do so many more things in my life before Jacob and I could ever be more than best friends. I don't think he realized how hard it was going to be when he imprinted. I wish he would have left Forks and found someone else to love. Away from the Cullens; away from Bella and the life he had here.

"Renesmee, I have never loved anyone more than I love you. Not even your mother and I would have, and almost did, die for her. You need to understand that when I imprinted on you, I chose to never be separated from you. You are my world, my future and my eternity. I know without a doubt that I never want to love anyone but you for the rest of my life," Jacob argued. The tears that had formed in the corners of his eyes had begun to fall. I crawled my way over to him and wiped his face. When I finally chose to lay my head upon his shoulder, he couldn't hold back the tears anymore.

"Jacob, I love you. You know that you mean the world to me and I truly owe you my life. For right now we just need to take time to figure out exactly who we are. I know that each day is going to place more strain on our relationship but in the end it will be worth it. We should head back to the house," I ended it right there. I wanted to pour out my little heart with 16 years of emotions packed into four short years of life.

"You're right Ness. They are all probably wondering where we went. I need to talk to Jasper anyway," Jacob concluded.

Hoped you really liked this one. I am going to keep trying to write Jacob into the story more because I feel he is essential. I know this one is still set in the past, but I promise once I get the main blood and guts of the story out of the way I can begin writing Nessie's present day life into the story. As always PLEASE REVIEW. It means the world to me to hear from my readers. Any comments are welcome. Thanks and keep reading. There is plenty more to come. Catch ya on the ol' flip-flop, Miraclesacure :)
