"Alice said the first snowfall will be in a couple of weeks. I can't wait to take her out there and show her the snowflakes."

"As long as you take Jacob," I said. "He won't miss any of her firsts. How has it been with Jacob constantly around?"

"Great but different. For the longest time, he was all about me but now he's all about Renesmee. I guess that's how imprinting works."

"It is all about the imprintee. The wolf will do and be whoever they need. Right now Renesmee needs a protector and when she gets older, that could change."

"How are you and Paul?" she asked, gazing out the window at Jacob and her daughter.

"Frustrated. With the shit that's going on with my step-father, it's stopped almost everything but kissing. I really want to be with him but don't want to break down crying from a simple touch."

"It might take some time but I'm sure things will work out, Mikayla."

Jacob's head flew up with a concerned look on his face. Bella and I ran outside.

"Sam's howling. You need to connect with them."

Heading into the woods, I stripped down and phased.

He's been spotted. Blue truck on the main road going into the rez. Jared's following him, Sam thought.

He just turned onto the road to go to Mikayla's house, Jared passed on.

I'm at the Cullens so keep watch and I'll return to La Push once he leaves, I replied through our link.

"Is everything OK?" Bella asked when I came out of the woods.

"He's at La Push but the guys are watching him. Once the coast is clear, I'll go back. I'm not taking the chance he'll spot me and stop to chat."

A couple hours later, Sam called to say that my step-father left and only after my brother told him to leave. He had been sitting in his truck waiting at my house the entire time.

"Tell me you didn't threaten him."

"I told him to leave La Push or I would call Charlie. He wasn't happy that I was going to call the cops on him. I explained that he was trespassing."

"Any parole violation would have him sent back to jail. Maybe we should let him trespass and have him arrested."

Over the next two weeks, he was spotted in Forks but never near La Push. I told Charlie about him but until he did something, there was nothing he could really do. Paul made sure that I always had someone with me, either him or one of the other guys. Even the Cullens would do, I just couldn't be by myself.

Paul had accompanied me to see Dr. Jess and she gave us a few exercises to work through but we both knew deep down that until my step-father left me alone, there was no way we would be having sex. Sleeping next to each other helped with the nightmares but sex was out of the picture for now.

Renesmee was now the size of a 7year old child and had the curiosity of a child too. She still liked communicating through touch though. She picked up on anything taught her quite quickly. I had settled in to teach her how to draw and she was nearly outdrawing me after a few hours. Her sketches were very well done and detailed perfectly.

"Jake and I are going to take Renesmee out to play in the snow. Would you like to come?" Bella asked as I cleaned up the sketch pads.

"Sure."

The four of us headed out to a small open field near the Cullens' house. Because she had colder skin and wouldn't have to worry about them melting, Renesmee started catching snowflakes. Jacob stood next to us in wolf form.

"Look, a snowflake."

"It's beautiful. Why don't you go catch another one? Edward thinks we'll find answers in Brazil. There are tribes there that might know something."

The little girl twirled around in the falling snow before jumping up to catch one in the air. Both Renesmee and Bella's heads flung up, taking in a woman standing on a cliff a far distance away. Jacob started growling as Renesmee clutched at his leg.

"Who's that?"

"I think it's our cousin from Denali. Irina!"

Bella suddenly took off and I stepped closer to Renesmee. My eyes scanned the surrounding area for any danger. I lifted the girl onto Jacob's back in case he needed to get out of there quickly. Our friend was back and told us to head back to the house. I left them at the door and got into my car. I had a stop to make at the grocers' before heading back to La Push.

"Do you need any help, Mikayla?" Dean, the stock boy, asked as I pushed a small cart up and down the aisles.

"I'm good. Thanks though, Dean."

I stocked up on food and headed to the cashier. I had finished unloading my groceries when the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. A shiver ran through my body as I slowly turned around.

"Hello, Mikayla."

There, my step-father stood. His hair had started streaking with gray but he was as big as ever. While the wolf transformation gave me another inch or two in height, he still towered over me by 3 inches. He was built like a footballer with muscles, which had only gotten bigger in jail.

"I have nothing to say to you and don't want to listen to anything you have to say. This is your only warning. Stay away from me."

"Now, Mikayla," he said, stepping closer. "You never could stay away."

I backed up into the counter before shaking myself. I stepped closer to him which surprised him.

"You were the one who couldn't stay away. I was a helpless child but I'm not anymore. You fucked me over and turned my life upside down. I won't let that happen again," I hissed.

His arm flashed out and grabbed my upper arm. He pulled me the rest of the way into his body and his other arm snaked around my waist.

"I didn't fuck you over. I just fucked you."

I smiled at him before slamming my knee into his crotch then grinding my heel into his instep. He let me go with a pained groan.

"Touch me or come near me again and I will let my brother, boyfriend, and all their friends have free reign. Sam and Paul already want to kill you."

He straightened up and limped out of the store. As soon as the bell over the door jingled with his exit, I collapsed and started to cry. Dean rushed over.

"Mikayla, what's wrong? What can I do?"

"Call Chief Swan," I sobbed.

It didn't take long for Charlie to arrive. I told him what happened then Dean and the cashier told him their accounts of what occurred. He said he would go and find my step-father and threaten him with assault for grabbing my arm. As long as he stayed away from me, I didn't care what Charlie said or did to him.

I paid for my groceries and headed back to La Push. I was already late getting back and I had ignored my cell twice when it rang. Both Paul and Sam were waiting for me at my house. They helped me with the food and waited patiently. I knew I had to tell them so I collected a beer and sat in the living room.

"I ran into my step-father at the grocers. We exchanged words and I kneed him. Charlie said he would put the fear of the police into him for assaulting me."

Paul pushed up my sleeve and we noticed that my arm was already bruised. It would heal quickly but he had really gripped hard for it to bruise that fast. He let out a growl but before he could tear out of the house, I caught his hand and pulled him down beside me.

"I'm fine, Paul. He'll live with painful balls for a few days as a reminder that he can't mess with me again. I'm not a child anymore that he can order around."

His arms circled my shoulders and pulled me into his body. Sam was quiet the entire time but he had a small smile on his face when he looked at us.

"You shouldn't have been alone, Mikayla. You promised us that you wouldn't be alone."

"Bella had her own problem to deal with or she would have been with me. Things are OK now, Sam."

Things with my step-father were settled since he left Forks after his talk with Charlie. Things with Bella were only starting. The vampire that saw us in the field went and tattled to the high up vampire leaders about Renesmee without the full story. Alice saw them coming to Forks to confront the Cullens and Carlisle thought having witnesses that Renesmee wasn't this immortal child would benefit them. When I heard about it, I promised to be there even before Sam agreed to protect Jacob's imprint.

The wolves knew how to fight vampires from a big fight about a year ago so I was given a crash course. As the witnesses started to show up, Sam worried that more boys would phase because of their presence. Since I was over at the Cullens' house often, I met the vampires and was able to have some decent in-depth conversations with some of them. I even sketched a few with a promise to paint it for them.

Alistair was a prick and he made his opinion on Jacob and I quite known. Whenever I saw him looking at me, I'd smile and flip him off. Benjamin was a joy to have around and he would show off his elemental control whenever Renesmee was around. The Irish coven stayed to themselves mostly while the Denali coven was helping Bella with her shield. Garrett was a laugh to be around, especially when Kate was using her power on him.

"I want a superpower," I said one day to Jacob.

"You turn into a giant wolf. Isn't that enough?"

"I guess," I pouted.
