Thank you, thank you for the reviews. It was the best starter to my day 33 Yes, I smiled.. A LOT :D Hehe. I love you all!

& thank you for the suggestions! Don't worry I have had this, and the next couple of chapters planned out for a long time :D

All the time here made me realize that I had a right to be content. I so purely believed in my love for Jacob Black that I wasn't going to fight it any longer, now nor never. Our love was strong, like us and it could overcome anything. Even imprinting.

My mind was set, I was going to retain this feeling for him, and I was going to remain happy. Sorry Renesmee but I'm fighting for my man. Against imprinting, and even if I have to … against you.

Jacob's POV;

I pressed her body closer to mine as she rested on my chest in a deep slumber. I stroked her hair as I thought about the last 2 weeks and half since we'd been "married". Every day we'd been best friends and every night we'd been lovers. If there was even any possibility of keeping aspects of our physique or mind obscured from each other, it was completely obliterated. By now, I knew every curve on Leah's body, every crease on her palms, the subtleness of her lips, the texture of her hair, and the feel of her velvet skin, and the fire that reaped beneath her flesh. Her enamoring toxic perfume was unconfounding to me; I could even distinguish her fragrance like the aroma of a rose in a garden full of flowers. I would even dare to say that I knew her better than I knew myself.

It's like there was an enchantment in her smile and in the sound of her laughter. I felt this dangerously alluring attachment to her, this desire and need for her.

I knew it couldn't possibly be healthy to be so attached, devoted and in love with someone.

Though, I never expected to really love someone at all, much less with such potency, other than Renesmee. Then Leah came along, well actually she'd been there the whole time but, then I really noticed her. I noticed her like a woman and I found out so much about her. Eventually, and I don't know when exactly it was, I realized that I had loved her since the moment she'd let me in her soul.

I still missed Renesmee, and it still stung me like a b**ch, a little more each time. But, when I was with Leah, the sharp dagger that inflicted the pain seemed to be dulled. I could feel it, but it didn't bother me so much. It didn't penetrate my bones, take away my breath, or hurt me at all. Which meant that, when I wasn't with Leah, the pain began and got fu*kin' intense.

I remember on one of the first couple nights after the wedding I woke up and Leah wasn't beside me. I started freaking out and getting worried. Not only because the pain was crushing me but because I was, a little scared. For lack of a better word I'll go with that. It was bizarre because I remembered that nightmare I had when I saw her in her white gown soaked with blood, where she was anguished, dark, and at the end of it all… dead. I couldn't bring myself to be apart from her because, if something did happen to her I would never forgive myself, especially after having been warned, if that's what you want to call it. That was our first dispute, she wasn't there and I got worried, perhaps too worried because, we started screaming at each other. It all ended fine though, I didn't tell her about that dreaded dream, just that I was deeply concerned about her and her well being. She understood.

But, all these differentiating feelings only made everything more confusing because, I was supposed to be in love with Renesmee, right?

Maybe. Leah thinks I'm only stuck on the stage of imprinting that calls for a brotherly love but when I see her a little older that'll change. But, I'd been thinking, trying to piece everything together and figure out the puzzle. I haven't quite figured it out yet because, there are still a lot of stray pieces that don't fit together and some pieces that are lost. I've come to think that since imprinters are only what their imprint needs them to be… maybe Renesmee doesn't need a lover but, rather a brother or a protector. Or, maybe she doesn't need a lover because she hasn't grown up yet. What the hell do I know? I mean, why the hell would we need to imprint anyways? I didn't want a goddamn theory but a legit reason. Why did we get stripped of a choice that was so personal? Shit, all this was perplexing and in all fairness it made me angry as hell.

I convinced myself to just stop thinking about all that before I phased and woke her up. I bent my free hand behind my head as I looked up to the deep, darkening gray clouds that lingered on the sky. There was a storm headed our way and it didn't seem like any light little sprinkle. The wind was picking up too but, that wasn't what caught my attention, it was Leah … she was stirring. She kept her eyes closed but she starting mumbling something.

"…. long have you been awake?"

"Three… maybe three and a half hours." I said lightly, it may have been more but, I was thinking for most of the time.

She opened her eyes wide in disbelief, "Oh, shit that long? Why didn't you wake me?"

"I knew all those nights would wear you out eventually." I smiled intently at her, she didn't say anything she just made a face at me, "but it was mostly because I deeply enjoyed your rhythmic snoring."

She scoffed, she laughed, and then she socked me, "I told you! I do not, snore."

"If you say so … ha ha… damn Lee, you're losing your touch." Her punches usually stung a little more and for a little longer, not like it still didn't hurt but she sure could pack on more power.

"Well, excuse me, I just woke up." She rebutted.

"Yeah, you've been sleeping a lot lately."

"Coming from you? Ha, ha. YOUR snoring tells me you're still even breathing; you know how hard it is to wake you? A train could pass right in front of you and you'd never even tell."

I laughed whole heartedly now; I kissed her forehead taking a whiff of her aroma just like I'd do every chance I could.

"Hey, but no one rocks a bed head like you Lee-Bear."

She smiled at me before she started sniffing about, "Do you smell that? The rain? There's a big storm and it's coming really soon."

"Yeah I noticed it while you were out."

Randomly and off topic she just blurted out, "…Oh man, I'm kind of hungry."

"Waking me up in the middle of the night to go get you bunches of bananas wasn't enough?"

She smiled appreciatively, "Nope."

Then she laughed propping herself atop of me and kissed me with her honey embalmed lips; tenderly and passionately at the same time, only like she could. It wasn't long until our impeccant kissing started turning into something more. Just as Leah had predicted the rain was beginning to arrive. I rolled her under me as we continued kissing and laughing together. I shielded her but, I could feel the heaving rain starting to pound on my back.

Somewhere in between we stopped and just looked into each other's eyes, abstaining ourselves from our surroundings. From the thunder, the rain, the wind, and for that moment there was nothing more than just us, loving each other.

"I finally got my kiss in the rain." She said as she smiled and ran her fingers through my damp hair.

She smiled and then we kissed again, picking up where we had left off until she definitely broke the kiss, She laughed this time, with a facetious tone in her voice "Come on stud, let's get to higher ground."

I pecked her quickly on the lips one more time before I got up to my feet. I extended my hand to help her up, which she surprisingly took. "Where we gonna head to?"

She used her hand to shield the rain from her eyes, "Uh, up there, come on." She pointed to one of the thickest trees on the island; we'd have protection there and if the sea current came up too much it wouldn't reach up there.

We started walking up but I decided to make things a bit more playful, Leah had been acting pretty mellow lately which was out of character. I didn't want to bore her, although she wasn't awake most of the time to be bored. I couldn't really complain because I slept almost as much, but I was glad that there was an eminent amount of trust that was now present.

"Hop on." I prompted with my hands.

"What?" she asked with a vague perplexed expression.

"Get on my back."

She laughed at my inquisition, "Like a …piggyback ride?"

I smiled at her giving her that "DUH!" notion without being overly callous.

She kissed me lightly on the cheek before lithely jumping on and as soon as I felt her relaxed grasp around my neck I took off. The natural obstacles seemed to shun out of my mind by the small smile that crept on my face. I thought about before, something I probably did too much, when I knew that if Leah's hands were coming to neck they were there to try and choke me, a mutual arrangement.

"Wait! Let me get these!"

She made me stop. For more bananas.

When we finally got to the tall, aged tree I set her down on the overgrown roots at the base. I sat next to her and watched the rain as she peeled her banana.

"What's with you and bananas all of a sudden? I thought you liked mangos." I said as I took one of the bananas from the bunch.

"If you're taking some you'd better bring me more…" she said between chews.

I smiled and took a bite right in her face; she pretended not to notice the sarcasm there and continued.

"Well… I had one the other day and it was the freakin' best thing I'd ever tasted on this god forsaken island. It was so sweet, and well I wanted more."

"Yeah, I guess our options aren't so wide… fish and fruits…"

She nodded as she continued to eat, "Let's look at the view on the other side."

We went around the tree in opposite directions and eventually met up, the sight was pretty breathtaking. About half of the island and the sea were visible, plus the added dynamics of heavy rain and the wind that gracefully tossed the waves around like a puppet master would.

We lay on our stomachs and admired the view; it was as cool as the sunset. But, this was more thrilling and exciting yet there was a mellow composure to it.

I turned to my side and gently tucked some of Leah's hair behind her ear revealing the soft contour of her features. I kissed her cheek lightly, moving down to her neck then back up. But before I could get to my destination, she stopped me.

"Jake, I don't really feel … up to it today." It took me a couple of seconds to understand what she meant by being up to it but when I got her, I understood. It didn't bother me that she didn't want to have sex, that wasn't the only thing that made our relationship important, rather our relationship at all.

"Sorry." She said quietly beneath her breath. I took her into an embrace, she fit perfectly beside me.

"There's nothing to be sorry for. It's fine, I'm completely happy with you just being here by my side."

She smiled and cuddled up to me, I felt her warmth instantly… it was awesome.

Leah's POV;

There it was. That feeling. That feeling of, ugh I don't want to wake up but I know I should. I groggily opened my eyes and sat up slowly. My muscles felt kind of sore, something I hadn't felt in a long time. I tried to remember what I did to produce this feeling but my thoughts were abruptly cut out by an odder that seeped into my yawning mouth.

Talk about a rude awakening, Jacob thought it would be nice to throw a bunch of raw and dead fish right in front of me. "What the hell?"

"Today's meal." He smiled triumphantly like he'd never caught that many fish before. I gave him a look then looked back down at the limp creatures before me.

It happed so fast then, I took a look at a misplaced fish with its blood and its guts all out, then all those bananas came right back up from where they entered.

Jacob was next to me within a second holding my hairs as all of my indulgences were being thrown up. It may have been overeating perhaps, or the sight of disgusting, raw, gruesome animal corpses. Or even maybe the incident in which I, might have, left fish over the fire too long causing them to burn. Burnt fish didn't smell or taste so good. You'd think I'd have a stronger stomach; after all I was able to hold my food down when everyone talked about the always great and lovey-dovey "imprinting".

"Not a smart idea?"

I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, "Yeah, not your brightest."

He got up, took his mess, and started walking backwards, "Um, let me go back to shore and don't worry… I'll bring you a cocktail of mangos and bananas?" I liked the interesting proposition.

"Deal. But only bananas."

He smiled, fully turning away and leaving.

I reclined myself fully on the trunk of the tree, concentrating on getting the taste out of my mouth and took a deep breath. The view was even more stunning than last night; it was like a clash of worlds. There was plenty of paradisiacal island but, there was so much of LaPush to it too. There was still a gray blanket of clouds that covered the sky, the seas also looked dark and alluringly mysterious. Yet there was abundant life everywhere; there were birds, reptiles, and multi colored flowers. The rain from the night before still lingered like crystals on the perfectly composed petals of the delicate flora. I had never seen anything so beautiful before, it was freaking amazing.

"Alright there ya go."

Jacob totally snapped me out of the whole scenic tarns. He gave me a coconut shell full of peeled bananas. Score.

"When you're done, we should go down so I can fix the room; there was some pretty bad damage but, nothing irreparable."

I got up as I continued eating, "No, it's cool, let's go right now."

We headed down to the beach, looked like the storm was a little bit tougher than I remembered but, just as I had perceived it from its smell. There were dead, broken palm leaves all over the place. There were even a couple of trees knocked down but, I figured this kind of stuff was natural around here. We weren't much of a disturbance to the cycle of nature.

I mostly watched, and ate, as Jacob entertained me with his manual labor, shirtless of course. But when I was done I helped him out, the weight around here was supposed to be equal. I fought the screaming sensation that begged me to stay put and rest.

It wasn't long until we had everything in tip top shape again. It took a pretty good chunk of the day but at least we could actually sleep in the room this night. The rest of the day went by quick, indisposed to any rigorous activity again; it wasn't long before we were just laying in bed, er the comfy ground, tight next to one another. We talked the night out and fell asleep to mushy, "I love you" and "I love you more's" which turned into serious, "The word love is a let down to how I really feel about you." Words and expressions that ranged from playfulness, to seriously intense moments of profession of adoration. I was absolutely, blissfully content.

Thankfully, that night I didn't dream anything. I had only dreamt twice in the last couple of weeks and it was the same thing. Laughter, screaming, and then crying, no images… just noises. Dubbed noises, with double timbres of me and someone else, Jacob faintly included in the mix. It was inconclusive but, I figured that it was nothing; I was just missing home and all of its phases. The dream hadn't presented itself since 4 days ago.

I felt my noise flinch a little, interrupting the peaceful sleep I was thoroughly enjoying. I opened my eyes a little and peeked at Jacob, his nose was flinching a bit too but not enough to wake him from his deep sleep. He'd done most of the hard and heavy work yesterday so he was completely knocked out.

I opened my eyes fully and took my glance from his robustly serene face following down to my arm, which was spread across his bare chest.

Then, I stopped.

I felt, eyes on me. I quickly picked up my glace to the doorway. I was struck; I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Was I dreaming? I made the terrible mistake of blinking because, when I opened my eyes again she was gone.

Okay, what the f**k. Had I really just seen— Renesmee at the door? No. It couldn't be Renesmee, no because it looked like she had already grown and reached her full age, but… that wasn't possible because, it wouldn't be a couple more years 'till she was that old looking.

Yeah, right, right, psh, brain lapse.

But yet, I couldn't convince myself, I had to see and believe that my mind wasn't being stupid and playing tricks on me.

Ever so quietly I slipped out of Jacob's warm embrace and grabbed two pieces of cloth to cover myself. Hesitantly I stepped towards the entrance, holding my breath. Why was I being such a damn coward?

I lunged myself lightly towards the frame holding onto its sides. Then, I felt Jacob's body behind me, "Why'd ya get up like th—"

His words stopped dead in their tracks as he realized what was going on.

"…. We're… rescued." I whispered.

I didn't acknowledge the other people coming off the two small boats.

My attention was elsewhere, taken by the single person standing at the center of the beach. Everything around me blurred as my eyes were only intently locked … on those of Renesmee Cullen…

:D

Hope you like 3

I thought I'd make you guys wait longer since you've all been dying for the same thing … BUT I decided to just follow the original plan.
