29. Gifts

Jacob's POV

I wasn't sure what Alice had planned but I was immediately suspicious as we were ushered out of the marquee after we had said our goodbyes. All the guests followed as Alice ushered us down to the waters edge.

"Alice, what's going on?" Nessie asked.

"It's time for your honeymoon," Alice replied.

"But Alice we haven't booked a honeymoon," I said.

"I know but just go with me on this okay."

Nessie and I looked towards each other and both shrugged our shoulders, neither of us had any idea what she was talking about so we just went along with it.

"Jump in," Alice chimed as she pointed to a canoe resting on the pebbled shore.

"You have got to be kidding me," I cried.

"No, its tradition, you and Nessie have to row away in the canoe," Alice claimed.

"Alice I can't I'll ruin my dress and your shoes," Nessie cried.

"Oh stop being babies and jump in, I'm coming too," Alice said.

"You first then," Nessie said calling Alice's bluff.

"Fine," Alice said surprising us both by climbing into the canoe and by grabbing an oar.

I could hear everyone laughing behind us and I felt really stupid as I climbed into the canoe after helping Nessie to get in.

Alice pushed us away from the shore and began to paddle into the sea. Thankfully, the water was very calm and still enabling us to sail through the water with ease.

"Where are we going?" Nessie asked.

"You see where the cliff juts out just to the west of us we are going just beyond there," Alice informed us.

"And what is there?" Nessie asked.

"It's a surprise, you'll find out when you get there," Alice said.

Nessie sighed and cuddled up to me, "Don't worry love, we will find a way to escape," I said.

Nessie laughed and the sound was like music to my ears. I could spend eternity just listening to her laughter; it filled me with so much joy.

The journey did not take long for which I was thankful, although the canoe had been the main form of transport for my ancestors, I was not a big fan of it myself. I preferred to run or drive to my destination.

We docked the canoe on another pebbled beach and climbed out. Alice led the way up the rocky cliff until we were in the forest, I knew the area well from my patrols in the pack but I still couldn't work out why we were here.

We continued to follow Alice through the forest until I could smell beach wood burning. As we went deeper into the forest the smell grew clearer and I could just make out a clearing a head of us.

Alice suddenly stopped causing Nessie and I to bump into her. She turned to address us with a huge smile on her face.

"Now I don't want you to freak out but we have a few gifts for you," Alice said.

"No Alice, you have all done more than enough for us, today was more perfect than I ever imagined it could have been," Nessie said.

"Thank you but we still have a few things for you."

"What is it?" I asked starting to get annoyed with all the games.

"Follow me," Alice said.

Nessie and I followed Alice through the last of the trees into a clearing. In the middle of the clearing sat a large log cabin. There was smoke escaping from the chimney, obviously the source of the smell. The gardens were beautiful with hundreds of rose bushes and various other flowers.

"This is for us?" Nessie asked shocked.

"Welcome to your new home Mr and Mrs Black," Alice chimed.

My mouth dropped to the floor and I was speechless. They were giving us a house as a wedding gift.

"Jake are you okay?" Nessie asked.

I couldn't answer I was still in shock, I just stared at the huge cabin in front of me.

"Come and see inside," Alice cried.

Nessie took my hand and dragged me towards the cabin.

"Oh I almost forgot," Alice said as she reached into her purse. "Here is the key to your new home."

Alice dropped the key into Nessie's hand and Nessie opened the door and pulled me inside.

It was beautiful; the room was very large with a chocolate brown leather sofa against one wall and a huge fireplace on the opposite wall.

In front of the fire sat a huge fluffy white rug covering a majority of the wooden floor and behind that sat a solid oak coffee table.

The walls were a natural timbre with a couple of pictures nailed to the wood. To the left of the fireplace was a walkway into another room and I headed towards it with out consciously deciding to, still aware of Nessie's hand in mine.

I walked through the passage and saw a huge wooden staircase leading up to another level. I decided to keep walking through the passage before going up the stairs. As I reached, the end of the hall there was a door to my left and one to my right. I opened the door on my left first into a huge kitchen. Again, the walls had not been painted but were covered in rows of cabinets. In the middle of the cabinets sat a huge old-fashioned stove.

I turned to Nessie completely speechless and she saw the shock and frustration on my face. She placed her hand on my cheek, 'It's okay, I know it's a lot to take in but this is our home. We don't need to worry anymore; we can start enjoying married life earlier than we thought.'

Nessie's excitement helped me snap out of my mood, she was so happy and I was spoiling it by acting stupid.

"So what do you think?" Alice asked.

I had completely forgotten Alice was with us until she spoke and this made me feel even more ashamed of my behaviour.

"It's beautiful Alice, more than we could have ever dreamed of," Nessie replied.

Nessie was right; I never dreamed we would live in a place like this. There was no way I would have ever been able to afford it but thanks to the Cullen's Nessie now has her dream home. I just wish I could feel grateful instead of resentful. I know they have only done this for Nessie but it makes me feel so insignificant. Nessie deserves someone that could give her all these things without help from her family.

"Esme will be really happy to hear that. Everyone has worked so hard on the house, they will be overjoyed to know that you like it," Alice said.

"I don't like it Alice I love it. Please thank everyone for us, it's the best present we could have asked for, not that we would have but thank you," Nessie replied.

"It was our pleasure. I will leave you to check out the rest of the house alone. We will be back in the morning with your other gifts," Alice said as she skipped out of the room before we could say anything.

"Other gifts?"

I had not realised I had said it aloud until Nessie answered me. "Don't worry it's probably just something small for the house."

Did the Cullen's ever do anything small?

"Let's check out the rest of the house," Nessie said as she pulled me out of the kitchen.

Nessie opened the door opposite the kitchen and we walked into a huge bathroom. There was a huge Jacuzzi bath and a double shower as well as a toilet and two washbasins. The room was tiled from top to bottom in large black slate tiles.

"Wow," Nessie said taking the words straight out of my mouth.

We slowly walked from the bathroom and up the wooden staircase into another room, which was evidently our bedroom.

To our left were mirrored doors, which I assumed, led to our closet? In the middle of the room sat a massive four-poster bed just like the one from the hotel in Egypt. The bedding was a deep red and very inviting, I tried not to think about it as I looked around the room. At the foot of the bed was another white fluffy rug just like the one downstairs.

I was so overwhelmed yet overjoyed at the same time. I pulled Nessie into my arms, "Is this really for us?" I asked.

"Yes this is our home," Nessie replied.

I felt overcome with emotion as my lips pressed gently against Nessie's, I wanted to feel her in my arms and I wanted to show her how much I loved her. I thought I would be petrified and not be able to go through with it but it felt natural to run my hands down her back and begin to untie her dress. Nessie did not seem shy either as she practically ripped my jacket off me before unbuttoning my waistcoat.

I pulled my lips away from Nessie's as she pulled the tie over my head and threw it to the floor. Nessie's dress finally became loose and fell to the floor revealing a very sexy white and silver Basque with matching knickers.

I took my time as I began to untie her Basque but Nessie seemed impatient as she ripped my shirt open causing buttons to fly everywhere. Nessie ran her hands down my bare chest causing me to quiver with pleasure.

I felt a sudden urgency as I pulled at her Basque releasing it from her body. I gently ran my fingers over her ample breasts for the first time and she sighed with pleasure. I pulled her close feeling her naked skin against mine, it felt amazing but I craved more.

I gently lowered Nessie onto the huge white rug keeping my lips glued to hers as she began to unbutton my pants. I kicked them off and vowed to enjoy this night and every night that would follow.

Renesmee's POV

As I slowly awoke in Jake's arms feeling the soft fur rug beneath my naked body, the events of last night replayed in my mind.

It was amazing how every soft and gentle touch of Jakes felt like feathers against my bare skin. Everywhere he touched left a burning trail of fire leaving me wanting more and more.

I could not get enough of him, we were closer than we had ever been yet I still forced myself closer to him. His hot skin radiated all around us as we made love into the early hours of the morning. It had definitely been the perfect end to a perfect day.

As I lay here now it seems silly to think back to how scared I had been. Jake and I were perfect together and were meant to be together. All my fears had been unnecessary as the evening went better than I could have ever dreamed. It felt so easy and natural to allow Jake to undress me and caress my body with his hands and mouth. My natural instincts had taken over when I ripped his clothes from his gorgeous body as all my fear disappeared.

Jake kissed the top of my head breaking my reverie. I looked up into his gorgeous face and my heart skipped a beat. He was practically glowing with happiness and looked breathtakingly gorgeous.

"Good morning Mrs Black," he grinned.

That was going to take a while to get used to. I still cannot believe I am married, it seems so surreal.

"Morning," I whispered back resting my head on his chest.

My eyes scanned our bedroom and I noticed a door in the left corner of our room that I had not noticed last night.

"What do you think is through there?" I asked pointing to the door.

"Um I don't know," Jake replied. "An on suite?"

That did sound like something Alice would do but considering the size of the bathroom downstairs it seemed strange to think there would be an on suite up here.

My curiosity got the better of me; I pulled a red satin sheet from the bed above me and wrapped it around myself.

"What are you doing?" Jake asked.

"I'm curious," I replied as I walked towards the door.

I opened the door and froze. The room was just as big as ours was and was completely furnished as a nursery. On the far wall sat two wrought iron cribs with beautiful lace canopies hanging over them. I was speechless as I continued to scan the room. The room was packed out with everything we would ever need for a baby from a changing table to a nappy bale.

"What is it?" Jake asked, still on lying on the floor.

I turned to face him but I couldn't speak. Why are there two cribs? Has Alice had a vision? Are we going to have twins?

Jake registered the shock on my face and was at my side in an instant.

"What is it?" he repeated as he took my face in his hands.

I moved my eyes towards the nursery and Jake followed my gaze.

I watched his face as he took in the room, his first expression was one of shock closely followed by amazement and then he turned towards me and smiled before gazing into the room again.

Is this what he wants? Does he want a baby? I thought this would knock him over the edge for sure but he is smiling.

Jake turned to look at me and I was suddenly anxious, what if I didn't read his facial expressions correctly?

"Wow," he said. "I'm so glad they thought to give us another bedroom."

"You are?"

"Yes of course, I'd love for us to have kids one day," Jake replied.

"Are you not scared?" I asked.

"Why would I be scared?" Jake retorted.

"Jake did you not notice that there are two cribs?"

Jake looked into the room again, "Why?" he asked.

I just waited for Jake to catch up with my thoughts watching his face carefully. Awareness crossed his face and my anxiety grew.

"Alice has seen something; we are going to have twins?" Jake whispered.

"I don't know," I replied. "But that's the only conclusion I came to."

"Wow twins that's great, I hope we have one of each," Jake chimed.

I couldn't believe it, Jake really did want to have kids and he was excited at the possibility of having twins. I didn't know what to say I just stared into his scorching eyes as he placed his hands on my face and kissed me tenderly on the lips.

I threw my arms around him allowing the sheet to fall to the floor and pulled him closer. My whole body melted as I deepened the kiss and felt my need for Jake grow.

Jake's hands ran down my naked body causing me to sigh with pleasure. Jake suddenly picked me up and walked towards the bed.

My heart was pounding and my breath came in gasps as he threw me onto the bed and kissed me with a fire in his eyes.

It felt great to know that we didn't have to force ourselves to stop. We were married now and could make love to each other as often as we desired.
