Jacob's POV
My heart was aching unbearably from being away from Nessie and our child. I knew it was for the best though. I wanted the best for her. I ran through the woods, reaching Seattle where I stopped dead in my tracks.
"Sam…" He was there, in front of me. I could swear it. Was this my mind playing tricks on me? The overwhelming regret causing me to imagine things? I called out to him. He turned and headed slowly towards me,
cautious of my next move. "Sam, it's really you…" I said, approaching him closer. "But how? The Cullens killed you…" He phased into his human form too. "They didn't. Edward wanted to kill me, but Jasper and Emmett
wouldn't allow it. They spared me, telling me to get far away from Forks. I agreed and started heading towards Seattle. I owed it to you to let you live your life in peace. I wasn't going to be any sort of problem for you
again…" "Sam, I'm sorry. We were both wrong…I want you to come home, to Emily. To the pack…" "That's very noble of you, Jacob. It will be an honour to have you as my Alpha." Renesmee…it's been a month since I left.
She was probably worried sick, thinking I didn't love her anymore. Thinking I had abandoned her. We phased and fled back to Forks.
Renesmee's POV
I was a mess. I wouldn't come out of the house for weeks, my body growing weak from not eating or sleeping. I couldn't move. I was actually physically hurting from the thought of Jacob leaving. But why? He hadn't left
me a note, or told me why he was leaving…how could he abandon us? He promised our son he'd protect me…I felt a burning in my womb again. It was my baby. She hated knowing I was in pain, and surprisingly, the
burning was comforting. It was nice to know someone loved me that much. Even if Jacob didn't.
"Sam…? We told you, stay the hell out of Forks." Said Emmett, crouching into an attack stance. I heard Emmett speak from outside, hissing in anger. I looked out the window. Out of the woods behind Sam emerged Jacob.
My Jacob. He was back…I didn't know what to do. I had been dying to see him for a month and now, that was the last thing I wanted to do. This time, I burned. My face felt like it was on fire. I was so mad at him. How
could he do this to me? And our baby? I had nothing to say to him. Sobbing, I slid the ring off my finger and placed it on the bed side table. I climbed back into bed, covering my body with a blanket as I continued to sob. I
didn't even notice the arguing outside stop. I didn't know why Sam was back either. I thought they had killed him? I didn't care anymore. About anything but my baby. It was just me and her now.
I had been under the covers for about 15 minutes now, when I heard heavy footprints slowly ascend the staircase. Jacob. The door opened and he stepped in. "Leave. Now." I said, searing with anger. "Nessie…I cannot
begin to tell you how sor…your ring…why aren't you wearing your ring…?" "you told me my mother said it was a symbol of everlasting love. You left me, 7 months pregnant with your child…you have no love for me." "I left
because I loved you! I have always wanted what's best for you, Nessie! That's why I had to go. I couldn't handle knowing I left Sam to die. I didn't want you to be with someone like that. Someone so careless about the
others they're meant to care about…" His reached out and stroked my face gently with his warm hand. I melted for him again. I had to be strong though. For my daughter. "Jacob, I can't do this. I can't give you the
opportunity to leave us again. I can't take that heartache. We can be friends, but I can't be yours…I'm sorry" I choked on the almost impossible words. His expression was like I've never seen before. He was a broken
man. I handed him my mother's ring "Give this to my mother. I don't expect you to want to hang around anymore…. Understand if you have to go…" I turned my back to him, sobbing once more. He walked slowly out of
the room and down the stairs.
I woke the next day, heading downstairs for breakfast. Jacob's scent still lingered in the air. He was still here. I looked outside, and saw him sitting on the porch, looking off into the distance. It was the same, every day for
a week. He hadn't left, not even to hunt. I took a plate of Grandma's bacon and eggs and headed out the front door. "Jacob…" I said. His eyes looked up, hopeful that I was about to say what he was most desperate to
hear. He eyed the plate, sinking back against the railing, realising I was only bringing him food. "You need to hunt Jacob…" I said, handing him the plate. "I'm not hungry…" "You haven't eaten in over a week! Please…" I
steadily sat on the decking next to him, which was made difficult by my enormous belly. He hesitantly reached out and placed his hands on the round lump. "I don't want food. I don't want anything. Just you. I'll die out
here before I leave you again." There goes the melting again. Renesmee, no. You're being strong, remember? "Jacob, I…" "You don't have to say anything, just know I'm not going anywhere. You might not love me
anymore, but I will never stop loving you, and I will never leave you and our daughter again." Not love him? It was impossible not to love him. I inched closer to him. "Jacob, of course I love you. Don't be stupid…" He
raised his head, hopeful. "I will always love you, Jacob Black…" He inched his face closer to mine, staring me in the eyes lovingly. I wanted so desperately to give in, to kiss him…I moved closer, just an inch away from his
lips. I could feel the heat of his body from here. I knew it wasn't a good idea, but I wanted to give in. I wanted to feel his lips on mine again...
