Sorry for long A/N enjoy
21. Life as it is.
Renesmee P. O. V
It was my first day back at school, my last year then I went to college, my dad made me apply everywhere, even overseas, in a not so subtle attempt to get me away from Jacob, not that it would work since if I did go anywhere far away from La Push I would definitely drag Jacob with.
Ellery was growing slightly faster than a normal hybrid, Carlisle said she'd reach full maturity in just over six years. Megan reluctantly left Ellery to come to school, nobody at school knew anything, except Kelsey and Kaylin of course.
They came over every day to play with Ellery, she learnt pretty fast, she didnt even attempt to bite any of them, even when Kaylen hugged her and she was right by her neck.
Ellery's intellect surprised us all, she often picked up one of the huge medical books Carlisle left lying around and read them cover to cover, then later she would recite the entire book to whoever would listen, my dad said it could be her gift.
I was pondering all my summer memories in spanish when the teacher told me; "Te importaria poner atencion Renesmee se que el verano fue muy emocionante, pero es una y el comienzo de un nuevo ano."(Would you mind paying attention Renesmee, I know the summer was exciting but it is over and the beginning of a new year)
My cheeks went red as everyone turned to look at me, not that i was doing anything other than taking notes, i guess I must have had a glazed look on my face as I wrote because I heard someone whisper "she got laid."
My cheeks went even redder, not that I was guilty but the fact that they would actually think something like that.
When the last bell rang for the end of the day, I was up and out of the class before anybody started packing up.
When I got to my car Megan was waiting already bouncing on her heels, I knew she was a bit worried about Ellery.
"Relax Meg, she's with five vampires, what could go wrong?" I asked her laughing.
"My dad." she said in a pained voice, I just laughed harder.
"Your dads not that bad Megan, look at you."
"Exactly, look at me, sixteen and mother." She sighed.
"That was a natural thing... how was school?" I asked taking the topic away from what might lead to Robert.
"It was alright, Kimlynn's still out, but Tamlynn says she'll be back in a few days, Carlisle just has to do some tests on her to check for some stuff." She said. I knew she felt guilty for what happened to Kimlynn so many months ago, the wolves felt especially guilty since we had been on their territory when it happened.
Luckily before I could make her feel worse we arrived at the house, I could hear Ellery inside reciting her latest book.
When Megan and I entered she ran to us, she looked like a two-year old kid now, her soft blond hair at her waist already.
Brandon followed behind her, he never left her side, he was fascinated by how fast she was growing too. Brandon looked about five now, he started slowing down a month ago, it was hard to believe he wasn't even a year old yet.
When Ellery pulled Megan to the living room so she could recite some more of the book to her I went upstairs to do some homework, it was only the first day of my senior year and I already had three assignments to do.
When I had finished my homework and started researching the assignments on my laptop Jacob walked in my room and flopped down on my bed.
"You look tired." I commented.
"Of course not, obviously I am wide awake because flopping down on a bed is the sign of being wide awake." He said sarcastically.
"Why didn't you go sleep Jake?" I asked.
"I wanted to see you." He shrugged, his voice was muffled since he was laying face down.
"You could have seen me after a nap dummy." I rolled my eyes.
"I'll take a nap later." He said.
"patrolling all night again?" I asked.
"Yep, and we had a meeting with the elders for half the day, then more patrolling." He said.
"Aw you poor wolfy." I said lifting up his head so I could look at him, I kissed him lightly on the lips then put it down again.
"Okay now I am really wide awake." He said lifting his head up again. I laughed.
"Go sleep Jake, I'll wake you up when dinners ready." I said picking up my laptop again.
"Just one more kiss." he begged giving me the puppy dog eyes.
I chuckled, I put my laptop down and crawled to his side, I kissed him lightly on his lips then quickly pulled away, teasing him a bit. His hands shot out and pulled my head to his again and he crushed his lips to mine, it was hard to remember that there were a bunch of vampires in the house.
My arms acted of their own accord, and tangled in his hair, I was on top of him now, his arms held me tightly to his chest. The next thing I knew Jacob stopped kissing me abruptly, his hands tightly on my wrists and his eyes wide. I looked at my hands and realized I had been about to rip is shirt off, not that it was much of a big deal but I saw where it would have led to.
My cheeks turned blood-red and I pulled my hands from his grip.
"I'm going to take a nap in the living room, wake me when its dinner time okay." He said, his voice a little huskier than usual, his cheeks were slightly red too. He pecked me once on my forehead then left.
I sat there for a while in the middle of my bed, was this what it had been like for Megan too? What if Jacob hadn't stopped, not that it would have gotten that far because obviously my dad would have intervened, but what if we had been alone, would Jacob have done the same?
The sun was steadily going down, I still hadn't moved from where Jacob had left me, my hair all around my face. I could hear Jacob snoring lightly downstairs.
When Megan knocked on my room door suddenly I nearly fell off my bed.
"Ness foods ready...what's wrong?" She asked seeing my face, Ellery was in her arms at her side.
I just shook my head and got up, she blocked my path when I tried to walk past her.
"Ellery go downstairs so long, mommy will be right there." She whispered to Ellery and set her down, Ellery knew something was wrong but said nothing and went obediently.
"Ness what's wrong?" She asked coming into my room and closing the door behind her.
"Ellery wasn't something you could help was she?" I said backing to my bed and sitting down.
Megan gulped, I didn't really want to make her talk about him but I had to talk about it.
"H-He wasn't as controled as Jacob..." She said, softly. I knew she regretted asking me now.
"Did you think for a second to stop?" I asked.
"No, by the time I realized where it was going I couldn't, something was pulling me to him and it felt right." She said.
"How was my dad when Jacob went down?" I asked changing the subject.
"He didn't do anything, a few minutes before Jacob came down he was tense but relaxed again." She shrugged.
"Jacob still sleeping?" I asked getting up again.
"Yeah, could you wake him up for me? I'll be right down." I asked walking to my bathroom.
"Sure no problem." She said and left.
I washed my face, the water-cooled my face which was still warm from earlier, when I went down Jacob was sitting next to Ellery and helping Megan feed her.
I stood a while by the doorway watching as he teased Ellery by bringing the food close to her mouth then pulling away just as she tried to eat it. Ellery started screaming and Megan hit Jacob over the head.
I laughed and went to get my food.
As I waited for the food to warm up in the microwave I felt Jacob slide his arms around my waist, my face got warm again. I slid out of his arms and turned to face him, leaning on the counter top. It was strange usually when I'm with Jacob I feel really comfortable but right now I felt awkward, I felt embarrassed about what had happened earlier.
I looked down, I couldn't seem to meet his eyes.
"Ness." He whispered cupping my chin.
Just then the microwave beeped loudly and I jumped away from him startled.
"I'm going to eat in my room, I have an assignment to finish, see you." I said quickly getting my food, I pecked him once and left.
Megan P. O. V
Ellery was the spitting image of her dad, light golden hair, bright blue eyes. It was torture yet it was heaven.
She was sleeping next to me on my bed while I did my homework, her hair sprawled all over my lap, the book she'd been reading lay open over her legs.
Whenever I looked into her bright blue eyes I remembered all the times Robert and I spent together. Everytime I got lost in his eyes he would find me and bring me back to earth. With Ellery when I looked into her eyes I still got lost like I had with Robert, but there was nobody to find me, only when she would laugh I would remember that he was gone and I was alone.
The next morning I woke up to Renesmee banging on my door for school. Ellery was already awake reading again.
"Mommy when can I go to school?" She asked as I got dressed.
"You can only go to school when you're three and you look like a six year old darling." I smiled at her.
"But it's so long." She whined.
"You'll get your turn honey, it'll go by fast." I said kissing her on her forehead and picking her up.
I went downstairs to the kitchen. Esmé had made some toast with various toppings to choose from. I gave Ellery a slice with cheese, since she hated human food I had to watch her till she finished it all before we had to leave.
When Ness and left the forest where our house was I began to worry about her again.
"Megan relax please! She will be fine when we get back, she always is." Nessie rolled her eyes.
"I am relaxed!" I said, I didn't even bother to sound convincing.
"If this goes on I'll tie you to a cliff with titanium chains." She said.
I sighed.
