Chapter 9: Rearview

Renesmee POV:

Dad was way too excited about that reenactment of Sense and Sensibility. Dad is a huge fan of British Lit which is a bit ironic considering that he is American. Grandpa Carlisle was from Britain however, but you couldn't tell because he lost his accent over the centuries. Mom always told me that it was good to be exposed to different cultures so she took a trip outside of Alaska every summer, I suppose she wanted to learn more too.

I hope once things get more serious with Jake and I, he could join us during our family movie nights. Things were still a little bit weird between him and my family, but it was definitely getting better. Dad even cracked a couple of jokes with him before Jacob left to go back to his hotel. I loved the way things were going in my life and to think it could only get better gave me so much encouragement.

Jacob was leaving to go home and I couldn't help but to be overwhelmed with sadness. The love of my life was leaving me and going home, I knew he wanted to stay longer but his father needed him and he had work to do. He came to my house early this morning, as soon as I saw him, I jumped into his arms. He held onto me tightly and buried his face into my neck and I could tell that he was crying.

"I love you so much, Jacob Black. Don't you forget it." I choked out as I looked up at him,"I will miss you to no end and I will wait for you."

"Oh Ness." he sighed, "I love you more than anything in this world. I promise to come back to you."

My lips crashed into his and I kissed him with all that I had. I didn't care if my family was around, all that mattered was him at that moment.

Once I parted from him, Jake wiped away my remaining tears and gave me a few pecks before I finally let him go. I watched him walk all the way to his car and it felt as if my heart was being pulled out of my chest.

"Jake!" I called back to him and he turned around to look at me.

I ran outside and approached him and hugged him, "One last goodbye couldn't hurt,"

Jacob kissed my temple and ran his fingers through my hair,"It could never hurt."

He placed his hands on my cheeks before he gave me long, breath-taking kiss. After he broke away I gazed up at him.

"I'll FaceTime you when you make your first stop, okay?" I told him and he gave me an understanding nod.

"Goodbye, Nessie." Jacob softly said.

I gave him a soft smile that looked like a grimace at best, "Bye, Jake." I whispered.

His bittersweet smile was the last thing I saw as I watched him enter his car and drive away from my home. My tears freely ran down my cheeks while I walked back inside. My dear Aunt Rosalie was there to give me the warmest embrace she could as a vampire.

Mom stroked my hair and rubbed my back while giving me comforting words. I knew I'd be fine but my other half wasn't here with me and that was what I needed.

Jacob POV:

Leaving Renesmee was the most painful thing I've ever had to do. It felt like I was suffocating and I couldn't see straight. I kept a small picture of her near my speedometer and I looked at it whenever the nagging feeling of being away from Nessie hit me.

The next exit couldn't come any faster, I wanted to see her beautiful face even if it was from a screen. Just to know that she's okay and I could ease her pain for a little bit. It's amazing to see how much my life has changed because I met Renesmee. I never thought I could love again until her, now what I felt in the past couldn't compare to the immense love I had for Nessie.

It took me nearly the entire day for me to arrive in La Push. I took exits when I needed to and FaceTimed Nessie. As I drove into my driveway, I noticed that a different car from Rach's and Paul's. I was a little weirded out that we had company this late.

"Rach? Dad?" I shut the door behind me, "I'm home."

I heard two little footsteps running my way and believe it or not I saw my sister, Rebecca following closely behind them.

"Uncle Jake! Uncle Jake!" my oldest nephew cheered while my younger nephew followed closely behind.

"Hey squirts!" I said excitedly as I picked the two up, "What are you two doing here?"

Rebecca moved to Hawaii with Solomon years ago and we only saw them on holidays. We were happy when we found out that she was pregnant with Abraham, Abe for short, a few years ago. And even more surprised to find out she was having Blake a couple years after. Becca and Solomon had trouble conceiving for years, Abe and Blake were their little miracles and I adored those two to no end.

"Big news, Jake!" Rebecca clapped her hands together.

"You're pregnant." I guessed.

Rachel hopped behind Rebecca and nearly squealed in her excitement, "They're moving back to the reservation!"

"What?! That's great news!" I leaned to kiss Becca's cheek since my hands were full.

"Yep, Solomon is officially "retired" from his surfing career and plans to open a surf shop around here. He's out with your brother scouting places to set up shop." Becca said happily.

"That's awesome, I could get used to having Abe and Blake around more often." I said as I put my nephews down.

"Rach told me that you imprinted, c'mon lemme see!" Rebecca demanded and I laughed as I opened up a picture of my beautiful Nessie, "Wow, she's a keeper Jake!"

"Our brother is growing up so fast." Rachel sobbed.

Ugh these sappy girls.

"Yeah, well I'm heading to bed now. I'll talk more in the morning." I waved them off as I opened the door to my bedroom.

I hopped onto my bed and took out my phone so I could FaceTime Nessie. I knew she wanted to make sure I got home okay and I also wanted to share the great news with her.

"You're home safe and sound." Nessie sighed in relief.

She had her hair bundled up on top of her head and sleepiness was present in her chocolate brown eyes.

"Yeah, I miss you like crazy." I relaxed into my bed.

Nessie beamed at me and bit down on her lip, "I miss you too."

"I have some pretty good news." I announced.

Renesmee raised a brow, "And what may that be?"

"My sister, her husband, and my nephews are moving back to La Push." I exclaimed.

"That's great Jake! I can't wait to meet your family. I bet your nephews are adorable." she rubbed her eyes.

"They are. You'll love them." my fingers raked through my hair, " You should get some sleep Nessie. You can meet everyone tomorrow when I Facetime you."

"Okay, I love you."she blew me a kiss.

"I love you more." I caught her kiss and then she ended the call with a smile on her face.

Tiredness soon overtook me and I let out huge yawn before I pulled my blanket over me and rested my eyes.

Edward POV:

I couldn't believe Renesmee was in a serious relationship. As remarkable as it was to see this, it also saddened me to know that soon she wouldn't be my little girl anymore and that she is growing up.

These seven years were the fastest seven years of my life. I wish time could go back in time to the first time I held my beautiful Renesmee. I like to think that the future memories I'll have with her will just as amazing as they always have been.

Renesmee thoughts mostly are of Jacob these days. She wants to have children with him and wants to be lucky enough to have a family of her own. We have no idea how good her chances of conceiving are but I don't think I could bear seeing disappointment in her face. So I decided I'd talk to Carlisle for her and see what he thought about it from a medical perspective.

"I have no clue how much human Renesmee has in her, so I can't give you any information for sure." Carlisle shrugged his shoulders, "But my estimation is if she were to have children they'd be around ¼ vampire, and ¾ human."

"So the chance of her having children isn't impossible." I concluded and Carlisle nodded, "I assume that there would be complications."

"Yes, we don't know how dangerous her pregnancy could be and there's also the threat of the Volturi finding out about it." Carlisle told me, "If this were to happen, we'd have to keep a low profile."

Dammit, I didn't think about that. Would my potentially 75% human grandchild be considered a danger to our world? I don't think so, Renesmee isn't like the immortal children and neither would they be. Our futures were about to change in a way they had never been before.
