Chapter 4:
Its been a week since Jake and I were "together". I told him not to come over until he could completely forget about it. I wasn't ready to tell my parents yet. If my dad finds out he will seriously kill me! I thought my safest bet would be to tell my mom first. Dad cant read her mind unless she lets him, so he shouldn't find out yet.
We were out for a mother-daughter day. We have one of these every once in a while to catch up and be alone. With so many vampires in one house its hard to be alone. Today we went to the park. Mom made me lunch and we were sitting under a tree on a blanket.
"Umm…Mom?" I started to get nervous. What will she say. Will she be mad? Will she be happy? Will she think I'm to young?
"Yah Nessie."
"I…I need to tell you s-something," I studdered. I never studder so she can tell its something big.
"Ok…go ahead," she said.
"Well, last week…you know when I went out with Clay…" I looked away.
"Nessie, please don't tell me you did something with Clay."
"NO! No…nothing happened with Clay," I said.
"Whew." She looked relieved. I hope that look wont change.
"But, something did happen…except not with Clay." Her eyes got wide as she thought of what could have possibley happened. "I had sex with Jake." I readied myself for anything. Yelling. Shakeing. Running home and telling dad. But when I looked at her she didn't look mad, but sad. "Mom?"
"I knew this day would come…" she sighed.
"What do you mean, I have never told you how I felt about Jake. No one knew."
"Ness, we need to have a talk." I was confused. This is not the reaction I was expecting. She knew it was going to happen?
"Ever since you were just a newborn baby, we knew. The whole family knew this day would come."
"I still don't understand, what are you saying? Did you like marry me off to Jake or something?" I looked at her quizzically.
"Has Jake ever talked to you about imprinting?" She asked, looking off into space.
"Yah. Its when a werewolf finds their soul mate." I had an idea where this was going.
"Well, when you were just born…" she pushed hair out of my face. "Jake imprinted on you."
"Wow." Now I know. We were perfect together! There was no doubt now.
"At the beginning I didn't like it to much." She laughed.
"Why?"
"Well, I didn't like that he thought he had some special claim to you. I guess I was a little jealous. So I attacked him." She looked down.
"YOU WHAT?!?" I yelled. How could she attack Jacob.
"Don't worry. Seth jumped in front of him before I touched him." She looked at me a smile on her face.
"Good."
"I can remember exactly how you felt that day to." She laughed again.
"What was it?" I asked.
"You were happy that Seth got in the way. You were a little possessive over him." I blushed a little. Its amazing how I have always felt this way. "You didn't want him hurt because he was yours. Just like he has always been yours."
I smiled. Mine. Jake was mine. Forever.
