I pulled into the driveway of jake's house when Renesmee stunned me beyond imagine and I had no answer for her.
"Will Jacob be my new daddy, momma?" my little girl asked from the backseat. I looked in the rearview mirror wondering what to say to that when I heard Jake stop everything in the garage and peek out of the large doors.
"That's your choice sweetie, like i said your dad and everyone else will always be in your life but for right now I need you to stay with me because mommy and daddy both think you need to-Jacob is your uncle in a way but not truely related to you." I explained as if telling myself.
Jake opened my door and kissed me on the cheek before smiling at Renesmee-from what i saw in the mirror she wasn't sure to smile back or not; Jake didn't mind. I unlocked the back doors and climbed out to grab Renesmee from her carseat while I noticed Jake was taking our bags into the house-she clung to me as if he were a complete stranger and from what i thought he could've been in her eyes since they had never met but she only knew stories.
I stepped in the house with her in my arms and Renesmee's eyes bolted around trying to understand where she was; I ran my fingers through her hair soothing her the best way I knew at the time and once making my way into Jacob's room she seemed to calm down dramatically.
"Momma, it doesn't smell right in here." She said burying her head into my neck. I smelt nothing at first but then realized she must be talking about jake's werewolf smell-the smell of a dog.
"It's something you'll get used to sweetie, in fact Jake has something to tell you when you're ready to hear it." I answered her while looking slightly to the other person in the room. He nodded in return to my slient sentence to him.
"If you say so" Renesmee blankly said.
Jake left the room minutes later so she wouldn't be so cautious to walk around and explore the house; I sat her down on her feet that way I could find where Jake put the bags then unpack in any empty places I could find-on the other side of the bed I saw the bags placed on the floor near a few drawers cracked open to show they were empty. Jake prepared for this.
Renesmee looked at a few pictures on the nightstand and around the room occasionally asking who the people were-she pointed out the pictures she knew of me and jacob together, charlie, and the cullens but everyone else was a stranger to her. Finally, tucking away the last unpacked bag I turned to see my little girl curled into the sheets on his bed.
Sound asleep, I sighed relief.
Cracking the bedroom door, I made my escape to find Jake-to thank him for all of this. I walked into the livingroom but it was empty and the kitchen was untouched; although through the window of the back door I saw jake standing in the yard looking out into the trees. I made my way through the door approaching him at human speed when he turned looking at me.
"You alright?" He asked sweetly.
"I'm fine, Renesmee is the one I have no idea about-she's asleep on your bed. I didn't want to risk moving her." I explained motioning back to the house.
"No problem, but I wasn't asking about her. How are you?" Jake asked again while placing his arms around my waist pressing us closer together.
"Confused." I answered as my thoughts continued to wash over me.
"If it's about you and her being here, dont worry about it. If I didn't want you here I wouldn't have offered and if I didn't want to possibly be a dad to her I would have argued when you said you wanted to bring her." Jacob explained himself while hugging me reassuringly-I felt safe with him.
"I love you jake." I said lovingly.
"I know you do, I love you too bella." He said placing a soft kiss on my lips which I quickly deepened.
Billy wheeled himself through the door a couple hours later and wasn't suprised to hear about me coming to live with them with my daughter-he welcomed it. I pulled myself from Jake's arms on the couch to hug him thankfully then quickly apologizing for my cold touch as i felt him give a small tense body laungage.
"Is she like you, Bella? He gave me a look to show what he meant.
"Only half, I gave birth to her when I was human. she won't hurt a fly though." I said with a smile.
They both laughed softly when Renesmee slowly walked into the room rubbing her eyes; Walking straight to me I lifted her in my arms as Billy introduced himself to her. She smiled and waved shyly at him which made me smile again.
"Renesmee can I talk to you?" Jake asked from beside us holding out his hand for her. She looked to me then nodded grabbing his hand as they walked away I gave Billy a look and he only shrugged.
They walked outside.
After a long while of me sitting alone in the dimming light from sunset I waited for those two. I eventually gave up waiting and wandered to the kitchen doorway to peer out the back window at them; they were laying in the grass looking at the colorful sky as Jake was talking. I heard myself sigh into the air not wanting to listen in with my special hearing but rather let them tell me themselves-the wait was killing me.
Renesmee came in quickly out of nowhere and placed her hand on my cheek showing me her and Jake's conversation as her face said she was astonished.
"Renesmee, you know how you said the room smelled different earlier? Jake asker her. She stopped messing with the blades of grass between her fingers and looked at him before nodding. "Well, the reason it did is because I'm a werewolf-I know it sounds suprising but it's true." Jake explained.
Momma and my aunt Alice told me stories about werewolves but i never thought they were real-they would tell me that the wolves would protect anyone they need to if that person was in danger and at one time the wolves defended a human against vampires but almost lost because of the vampires having red eyes.
Jake knew she was talking about the fight against the redhead that was hunting Bella last year.
My momma also told me stories of a brown wolf that had feelings for a human but they couldn't be together because the human wanted a life that wasn't allowed to happen-it went against their love so she chose her life but quickly realized after time that the wolf was there for her and loved her when no one else did."
She was talking of him and Bella.
Jake spawled onto his back and waited for her to follow suit before continuing. Can i tell you a story? jake asked. Sure, a long one. Renesmee answered getting comfortable. Jake told her of the tribe's legends like he told bella a long time ago but offered to show her what he meant.
She shook her head against his offer-her face was astonished-before Jake could make a move she sprinted into the house inhumanly.
