Chapter ten Visitors
B POV
Renesmee didn't say anything after Edward had said it was Alec who she had been talking to. She seemed like she just didn't want to believe it. I had told her about my trip to the Volturi before and about Alec briefly threw that. I had thought she had seen him in the clearing when she was little but she just kept saying 'I was distracted'. She wouldn't talk to anyone as much as we tired. When I offered to get Jacob on the phone she just turned her back to me and put her head in her hands.
When I had tried to change the subject asking her about a bracelet she was wearing that I had never seen, she just put her knees to her chest and started humming lowly to herself.
We sat in the living room waiting for the Volturi to come. As much as Alice tried to see what was coming it was hard for her with Jacob and his pack just on the fringe of the forest. Even if we asked I knew Jacob wouldn't leave, not with Renesmee in any kind of danger.
Edward sat up more.
"Their here." he announced.
"How many?" Jasper asked.
"Four. Jane, Felix, Dementri and… Alec."
As much she tried to hide it we all saw how much Renesmee flinched when his name was said.
I could see them ghosting across the yard. Carlisle got up heading out side to meet the on the front porch. "Dear friends how are you?"
"Carlisle, Aro sends his regards." Jane said in a sugary sweet but bored voice. "I assume you already know what this visit is for."
"Yes we do, please come in."
As they entered the house their eyes framed the family.
"Well hello Cullens its been a while."
"It has indeed, Jane." Edward said in a not to happy voice of his own but still with an amount of curtsey. "what do we owe this visit."
"Well Aro has sent me to assess the child's growth and of course he sends his best wishes to you all."
"Of course, will you be staying long?" It was the thought on everyone's mind I was sure.
"Only long enough to get a true understanding on the child."
"Well you are welcomed as long as you like then."
"Thank you now if you would please show me were the child is so we can start." It was Alec this time who spoke. He seemed like he was in a hurry to get some where as he kept checking his watch.
Every one looked at him blankly then to Renesmee whose back was still turned to them.
"Ummm Alec she is right here." Carlisle motioned towards Renesmee
"O umm….. She has grown quit a bit since I last saw her in the clearing." It was true she had grown a lot even more in the past month.
"Well then if someone would mind catching me up on her progress there seems to be more to tell than I had thought."
"I'll fill you in." Renesmee said a lifeless voice as she turned to face them.
"Nessie!" Alec said in astonishment and disbelief as he took a step forward.
Renesmee walked straight towards him and with out another word she reared back her fist and punch him in the face.
"Caught up jerk?" she yelled at him as Edward and Emmett fought to push her back.
"Nessie!" Alec begged as he tried to put his face back to how it had been. Jane, Demetri, and Felix were all in defensive positions. The only thing that stopped them was Alec telling them no under his breath. "Nessie, please can we talk about this."
"Go to hell!" she screamed at him as Esme, Alice, and Rosalie dragged her upstairs.
"Don't hurt her." he yelled after them.
"Alec I think you and me need to have a talk." Edward said in a growl.
"Yes, sir." Alec said with his head down.
Jane looked to Alec is astonishment. "Sir?… what the hell Alec?"
"I'll talk to you about it later ok."
I followed them into the study and shut the door behind me. I wasn't sure why, I knew everyone even Renesmee would be able to hear.
"Before you start, Sir can I say something?"
Edward nodded for him to go on.
"I want you to know that I didn't know that it had been Renesmee that I had been seeing. I thought she was a Quileute or at least half because I could tell she wasn't fully a human. I can only imagine what you are thinking right now, but I never in a million years would of thought that she was your daughter. I'll be honest I could smell all of yours scents on her but I assumed I was mistaken. I apologize I care for her a lot and I don't know what she has told you but we are dating each other. I'm not really sure now since she wants me to go to… well you know. I really want your permission to keep seeing her."
Just then a large reddish brown wolf busted threw the window sending shards of glass around the room.. He growled at Alec and launched his body towards him.
"Jacob nooo!" Renesmee screamed as she ran into the room to get in-between them.
"Get back Nessie." Alec warned her.
Edward and me tried to grab her arms but she dived and threw her self at Alec's chest throwing him to the ground and covering him with herself.
"Stop." she yelled. "Don't hurt him!"
Jacob stopped in mid stride and let out a low growl.
"Jacob go home." she ordered.
He started to back up keeping his eyes on her.
"It's ok Jake. We've got this." I said to him as I patted his back. He looked to me and nodded.
When I looked back to Renesmee she was still protecting Alec with herself. Alec held her tightly putting his head on top of hers. She waited till Jacob was all the way in the forest before she started to get up
"Nessie can we talk?"
"No, I might have saved you from Jacob but we're done." she started to walk away.
"No please." he reached for her hand but she pulled it back. "Please don't do this." he begged.
"I didn't do anything." she reached for her wrist and undid the bracelet that I had asked about earlier. "You are no gentleman and I'm not a lady. I'm an imprint." she threw the bracelet to his feet and walked out.
She stayed in her room as we spent the rest of the day telling the rest of the Volturi only the things they needed to know nothing about the wolves or anything else. The next day when Jane insisted that Renesmee be present she would sit reading a book or listening to her ipod tuning out the rest of the world. Alec became all business never speaking directly to Renesmee but his eyes wondered to her constantly.
Renesmee grew tired of being stared at by the visitors, she had never been restricted as much as now. Of course we didn't want her out of our sights. Edward had said even though he didn't read any under handing work going on, it was safer to take precautions anyway. I knew that Renesmee missed Jacob and he had called almost three times a day to talk and check up on her. She never really paid much attention to the visitors and never wanted to even look at them.
On the third night following their arrival Jane mentioned need of a hunt and would be back in a days time going far to feed giving Forks a wide berth as we had asked.
As soon as they were out the door and Alice was sure they were miles away Renesmee started to beg to go see Jacob or have him come here.
"Nessie I think we need to have a family meeting first and then I'll call Jacob and have him come over."
She seemed pacified at the time but the urge to run to him was still plain on her face. Everyone gathered around the dinning table.
"From what I read in their minds they aren't lying about their purpose here. Aro is curious about Renesmee he is hoping she has even more gifts and once she is older he will try to offer her a place on the guard. But for now he just wants to keep tabs on her. Also he wanted to see how Bella was prevailing in her new life as well. " Edward took a breath. "I see no reason for this visit not to go well. Do you see anything Alice?"
"For once with the Volturi involved I don't see anything going wrong but I won't be letting my guard down either way."
"so what is the plan?" Jasper asked.
"for now we just wait it out. There is no real threat in this visit. Like I said they are only here to collect information. What Aro does with that information will be what we will have to deal with."
Everyone looked satisfied with what we had concluded and began to wander off in pairs to talk about possibilities that could happen.
I felt eyes on me and saw that Renesmee was about to exploded if she didn't start running to La Push.
Edward answered before I could say anything " Fine go but at least let me call Jacob and let him know your on your way. Its still really early he might not even be up yet.
"ok" was the only answer we got as she launched her self out of the house.
Jacob picked up on the first ring when we called and said he would start running towards the house and hopefully meet her more than half way.
"Wow." I said as Edward reached for me.
"What is that love?"
"Everything I mean poor Renesmee."
"What about her?"
"Well she loves Jacob but she cares about Alec to."
"More like poor Jacob."
"Why is that?"
"This is the second time this has happened too him."
"Yeah, you're right poor Jacob."
RPOV
As soon as the Quileute boundary line was in sight I could hear Jacob coming my way. I ran faster egger to get to him. We had talked briefly on the phone in the last few days but it wasn't what I wanted… what I needed. I had told him everything that had happened between me and… Alec. He had been really upset but had forgiven me without a second thought. It felt worse then if he really had yelled at me. I heard the sound of him changing. As I ran past a thicket of trees I saw him running to me in human form.
"Renesmee!"
"Jacob!"
I jumped into his arms as he twirled me around.
"I've missed you doll face."
"You to!"
He hugged me closer and I had to finally remind him I couldn't breath. We walked hand in hand to his house talking about nothing in particular. He had been at Aunt Sue's house today helping clean the yard since they were going to have the wedding in the back yard next week. I was sad that I was most likely not going to be aloud to go. Once we got to his house I said hello to Billy as Jacob invaded their refrigerator.
"Nessie I sure do miss when Jacob use to be at your house all the time. We can't keep a drop of food in this house now a days." Billy said with a chuckle.
"Give it sometime and I promise you will only see him on holidays… ok maybe not even then." we laughed together.
"Movie?" Jacob asked with a bowl of popcorn in one hand and two movies in the other.
"Sure." I followed him into his room. "Whatcha got?"
"Fight Club and some girly chick flick my sister left here last time she visited."
"Does it have a name?" I laughed.
"I don't know some sisters with pants."
"Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants?"
"Yeah I guess."
"Lets watch that one."
"What ever you want."
He put the movie in and moved to sit on the floor. I sat next to him looking at him till he turned to me.
"What's the matter?"
"I'm sorry." I whispered.
"For what?"
"The whole… Alec thing." I leaned in and hugged him.
"Nessie it's ok I understand. You're young and it's not really fair for me to just assume you wouldn't want to play the field a little." he rubbed my back with his hand.
"But I don't want that. I want you I'm happy with you."
"I know you are but still I understand."
"Stop that." I sat up. "That just makes it worse."
"What do you want me to do?" he pleaded.
"Kiss me." I ordered
"I won't do it just because of him."
"No Jake I really want you to kiss me."
He leaned in unsure. I got aggravated and pulled him to me. He kissed me lightly intertwining his fingers into my hair. I sat on his lap as he pulled me in closer and even closer than that. He started to get up so I began to move away but he held me closer as he moved us to his bed.
"Screw the movie." I laughed between kisses.
"Shh." He laughed
"What?"
"My dads in the next room."
"Look at us a bunch of worked up teenagers trying not to get caught." I giggled.
He wrapped me in his arms as we laid on his bed. He held me tight in one of his arms as he grabbed the remote from his bed side table and turned on the TV. I couldn't tell you what was on all I could think about was how amazing his arms felt around me. I pretended to watch the TV as he laid his check on mine. I slid one of my legs back so it would be in-between his. He tightened his legs around mine and kissed my cheek. I felt as he ran one of his hands over my sides to my stomach moving it up to trace my ribs.
I was content and happy.
"You know I could get use to this." I said as a snuggled closer to him.
"Me to." he started to make patterns with his finger tips on my ribs as I played with his fingers on his other hand.
I heard as his breathing started to pick up and mine soon matched. With a unheard cue we both rolled over to face each other. He hurried and placed a cover over us. It felt like we were all alone in the world under our small fabric shelter. I took my leg from between his and placed it on his hip. He kissed me deeply as he moved his hips a little into mine. I pulled at his hair arching my back letting my body tell him to keep going. I was so into kissing him I hadn't realized that he had started to pull up my shirt. I stopped.
"To far?" he asked.
"No." I breathed into his neck. "Keep going."
He lifted up my shirt catching a quick glance of me in my bra before he started to kiss me again. I knew that he wouldn't progress until I did. I started to lift up his shirt. He helped me glide it over his head right away and threw it towards our feet. He played with the straps of my bra pushing them down a little and then back up.
"Renesmee I have to tell u something."
"Yes Jake." I said in a whisper.
"I love you"
I lay there completely quiet he had never said it to me and here we were joined together with our hearts beating fast as if they would burst from our chest to be together.
"I love u to, Jake."
He reached up and swept the tear that I hadn't realized was falling from my eye.
"Hun why r u crying?"
"Don't worry they are happy tears."
"Silly beautiful girl." he laughed as he kissed my lips softly.
"That u love." I giggled.
"Yes that I love very much."
Something over took me and I reached down and unzipped his pants . I got the satisfaction of catching him off guard and he spluttered to regain himself. I hurried and unbuttoned his pants. He rolled on top of me as both of his hands grabbed handfuls of my hair. I reached around the back of him and played with the waist line of his pants. He started to pull them off and I was lost what to do next.
He seemed to be doing what ever his body told him to do. His lips were on my neck as I looked at what our situation was. We had only his boxers on and I still had my bra and pants on. I was ok with this but I did feel guilty that he was more exposed than me.
"To.." he started until I reached down and tugged at his boxers.
"Wait" he breathed. "Are you sure?"
"Sure about what?"
"Sex?"
"Who said anything about that?"
"Well normally this is where it would lead"
"O" I said surprised. I had just been letting myself go. "Jake I'm not sure if I am ready."
"It doesn't have to go there." he smiled at me.
"Then where does it go." I smiled back at him.
"we can just lay here and talk if you want."
"that would be nice"
"So what's on your mind my charming and beautiful girlfriend." he said as he started to help me find my clothes.
"well I was just thinking how wonderful and understanding my boyfriend was."
"Yeah I'm pretty awesome." he laughed.
"And modest." I laughed with him.
"you have the best laugh. Its so pure and real."
"As opposed to what?"
"An arch angels laugh."
"Aww Jake…' I started as he handed me my shirt.
I took it in my hands. "You know I don't deserve you. Not after what I did."
"Don't say that." he sounded sad.
"Well its true I really did hurt you Jake and you can lie and say I didn't but I know the truth."
"Stop" he said in a whisper.
"No I want to know what your thinking. Please tell me." I sat up on the bed.
"You shouldn't hear it. Its over and we should put it behind us." he got up and moved the hair away from my face and tugged at the shirt in my hands. I let it go and he started to put it back over my head.
"Why can't you just talk to me about it?"
He sat there completely quite for a long time. "Because it hurts Renesmee." he said to the bottom of my shirt as he straightened it out on my hips. "You don't know how much it hurt and I don't really want you to. I know that your not completely sure of us." he held up his hand to stop me from saying anything. "I know you think you are but if you felt the need to talk to this other guy or even for his company then you aren't sure of us. I'm not saying you can't have friends but the fact that you wore something that connected you two and he thought that you guys were dating. The fact that you didn't even tell me about him makes me think that you were trying to hide him and if he hadn't come to your house the other night then you would of just strung us both on. And sadly enough I might have gone with it because I love you and just want the best for you. But I'm asking you right now Renesmee if you want him tell me now so I'm at least ready for it."
I looked into his deep brown eyes. "Jacob I can't tell you that."
He looked down. "I kind of figured that."
"No Jacob that's not what I was saying. I can't tell you that I want him because I no longer have feelings for him. He lied to me and hurt me. I thought he was someone he wasn't. But I know you and I know that you care for me and would never lie to me. I don't deserve you Jake. I feel like I need to earn your trust back or make it up some how.
"You don't have to, its ok." he smiled at me tenderly.
"No but I want to.
I reached down and grabbed my shirt and lifted it over my head and then tossed it to the side. He started to reach for it when I stopped him. I pressed myself closer to him enjoying how our skin felt against each others.
"You are such a teenager." he laughed as we fell back to the bed.
We laughed together and talked until we heard a faint knock on the door. I immediately started to look for my clothes but Jacob held me perfectly still.
"yes?" he called towards the door.
"Hey Nessie, Alice just called and said they needed you home." Billy called threw the door.
"Thanks" I called back feeling my face flush three different shades of red.
