Thanks for the reviews! They mean a lot:)

JACOB'S POV

Chapter 14: Not the Reaction I Was Expecting

I stayed up until Nessie's parents came home. It was three a.m., the girls had fallen asleep and hour ago. I paced the floor. I wanted to see Edward's reaction to all of this "boy" stuff. He would probably have something to say about this. Her parents ran in holding hands.

"Why are you still awake?" Bella asked in surprise.

"I wanted to talk to you guys about something," I said. Maybe I should have thought about this first. I sat down.

"Um alright," Edward said, sitting down across from me.

I ran through the conversation between Nessie and her friends in my head for Edward to see. Bella looked at him questioningly but he just held up his finger until I was finished. His reaction completely caught me by surprise! He actually started laughing. I growled, clenching the sides of the chair.

"Why the… hell… are you laughing?"

"Would someone please tell me what's going on," begged Bella.

"Jacob is upset because he heard out daughter and her friends talking about boys. And out daughter thinks some guy named Robert is kind of cute," Edward snorted.

Bella couldn't help but laugh, too.

"Jake, are you seriously nervous about this? If she is destined to be with you for the rest of your life, then there's no reason you should be jealous! She probably only said she thought this guy was cute because her friends have been bugging her about it," Bella said calmly.

"But if twelve guys have asked her out so far, she's bound to say yes to one of them!" I protested.

"But that's where I come in," said Edward, "I wouldn't let her go out with any guy until she was twenty. You'll be lucky if I even let her date you when she's old enough."

"Edward, you know I don't think about her like that!"

"But you most likely will one day. There's no denying that. And I'm not taking away any of her freedom just because of your wolf thing. The decision of who she wants to date is up to her, as long as he meets my approval. There's nothing wrong being interested in guys at this age. Just as long as she doesn't do anything with them."

"So you're not going to forbid her from leaving the house ever again?"

"Hmm, tempting. But no," Edward laughed again.

"Get some sleep, Jacob," said Bella, "You don't have to worry about this. She's only 11."

They left the room, leaving me in the dark. I laid on the couch but I couldn't fall asleep for a while.

"Jake! Wake up! I'm bored," Nessie was shaking my arm.

"Uh what time is it?" I groaned.

"One thirty. My friends left an hour ago," she giggled, "I can't believe that you're still asleep!"

"Well I wouldn't be so tired if someone hadn't stayed up half the night giggling with her friends," I teased.

I heard Edward mumble something to Bella about me staying up to try and get him to forbid Nessie from talking about boys for the rest of her life. I rolled my eyes, lucky Nessie didn't seem to hear that.

"What do you want to do today, kid?" I mumbled, getting up.

"Umm, can we go hunting?"

"Sure, just let me get some food in me," I yawned.

I grabbed an orange from a bowl on the table.

After Nessie had drank her full of mountain lion, we decided to take a walk through the woods.

"So, who's Robert?" I couldn't her myself.

"You were spying on me?" she accused.

"Maybe a little," I said quietly.

"Ug! Jake you're so annoying! Robert is a guy in my Science class."

"And you think he's cute?" I raised my eyebrow.

"He's okay. He's kind of obnoxious," she told me.

"Any other guys you think are cute?" I pressed.

"No! Jake I'm serious, stay out of this!" she scorned.

"Fine," I crossed my arms.

We were silent the rest of the way home. I could feel the tension between us and I didn't like it. She ran up to her room, when we got back to the house, slamming her door.

"Teenagers," I sighed.

"I don't blame her, Jacob," said Edward, "It is pretty annoying when you listen into other people's conversation."

"Did you bring the Robert thing?" Bella asked, coming into the kitchen.

"Possibly."

"Jacob! No girl wants to talk about girls with her guy best friend!" Bella scolded, shaking her head.

"So what am I supposed to wait for this whole thing to boy thing to blow over?" I said sarcastically.

"That's exactly what you're supposed to do!" said Edward.

I threw my hands up and ran outside, phasing in the process.

Quil? I called.

Hey dude what's up?

Okay this is a weird question, but when Clair was younger, did she ever show an interest in guys… you know… that weren't you?

Did she ever! Quil exclaimed, she had a crush on this guy Chris for the longest time! I thought she would never stop calling her friends and talking about him. I thought it would never end. Actually, I think she did date him for about a week, but realized he wasn't the right guy. We got together two years later. Why? Is there a guy Nessie's been talking about?

Well she showed some interest in this one guy-

Don't worry about it man. She'll come around. She might even go out with a few guys before realizing she can't be happy unless she's with you.

So this is completely normal?

Absolutely. There's nothing to be worried about. Just don't bug her about it.

Too late, I whimpered.

Aw man you didn't, he groaned.

Guilty. I should go apologize. Thanks for the talk man.

Any time.

I phased back and ran back to the cottage. They weren't there so I went to the big house. I saw Nessie in the window. Relieved, I went inside.

We looked at each other and then both gave a quick "sorry" before hugging.

"I won't bug about the guys you like anymore. You're free to date anyone you want and you don't have to tell me unless you want to," I smiled at her.

She smiled back, "Thanks Jake, but you really don't have to be worried about any of that. I don't have a crush on Robert or any other guy."

"What's all this talk about guys?" asked Emmett, walking into the room.

"Nothing, Uncle Emmett," Nessie rolled her eyes.

"C'mon! Tell your Uncle Emmett about this guy so I can go kick his ass."

"There isn't one!" Nessie said, crossing her arms.

Emmett grabbed her and started tickling her until she couldn't breathe. I laughed as I watched her try to escape his iron grasp.

"Jake!" she gasped, "Help me!"

"I'll think about it," I said smugly.

"Jacob please!" she yelled.

"Fine!" I said, "Emmett, please give Nessie back to me."

"Not until she tells me about this guy," Emmett said.

Nessie pressed her hand to his face. His expression became confused and he let her go. I could hear Edward laughing in the other room. Nessie ran into my arms for safety.

"Who was that?" Emmett asked.

"My algebra teacher," said Nessie.

"But he's so…"

"Old! I know right!" she giggled.

"Haha very funny, now show me who he really is," demanded Emmett.

"Run Jake!"

I ran out of the house, holding Nessie in my arms. Emmett playfully chased around the lawn for a little bit until Nessie got called in to eat dinner.

"I really am sorry," I whispered to Nessie later that night.

"I forgive you," I could tell she was smiling.

"Thanks," I whispered.
