(Nessie POV)

Grandpa Charlie, Grandma Sue, Billy, Rachel and Paul were scheduled to arrive today. My parents made sure to give them a heads up before they left Forks. "We didn't want them to have a heart attack when they see you," mom teased.

Mom, dad, Jacob and Seth went to the airport to pick our family up. Leah and I helped Granma in the kitchen as she prepared food. She loved having humans around the house; it gave her an excuse to cook a lot of food and make use of her kitchen gadgets. Alice and Rosalie busied themselves bossing around their husbands in putting up decorations all around the house. Grandpa Carlisle stayed out of their way and hung out with us in the kitchen.

"We're home," dad announced and my body stiffened.

Leah patted my shoulder, "It's going to be okay. They'll be surprised, but in a good way." She smiled and I couldn't help but smile with her.

"Good to see you again, Charlie," I heard Grandpa Carlisle greet Grandpa Charlie.

"Always a pleasure, Carlisle," he answered back.

"Mom!" Leah greeted when she left the kitchen.

While everything greeted one another, I stayed in the kitchen.

"Where is my granddaughter?" Grandpa Charlie asked and my breath quickened.

"Remember, dad, Renesmee looks so much different from the last time you saw her. She grew a lot more than she used to," my mom reminded my grandfather. I didn't hear him respond so he probably just nodded his head.

Alice entered the kitchen, "It's going to be okay, Nessie. I've seen it; it's a little blurry with the werewolves around but it's going to be fine." She wrapped her arm around my waist to lead me to the living room. I took a deep breath before I walked out of the kitchen. I heard gasps all around the room.

"Nessie?" Grandpa Charlie asked when he saw me. I simply nodded. "Come here, angel," he said and opened his arms. I slowly ran to him; I didn't want to knock him out.

"Grandpa," I said and hugged him.

"Your mother wasn't exaggerating when she said you grew a lot more than the last time," he chuckled and unwrapped his arms around me. "Let me take a look at you," he said as he put his hands on my shoulders.

"You must be breaking a lot of hearts," Grandma Sue teased.

"Grandma Sue," I hugged her. "Is it still okay to call you Grandma? I mean I look just a little younger than Seth."

"Esme looks younger than me and you call her Granma; don't worry about it," Grandma Sue said and squeezed me once more. I hugged Rachel and nodded at Paul. Paul wasn't into hugging vampires and I couldn't blame him. It was natural in his werewolf nature.

"You must be hungry. Leah and Granma prepared a feast," I said and we all went to the dining room. My vampire family served the food while the humans, and werewolves, ate. It was one big happy beyond normal family.

The next day, Embry and Tanya arrived and I was greeted with the same shock like the others yesterday. However, it was a lot easier to explain to both of them.

We updated everyone with what was going on in our lives. Leah was promoted at work; Seth and Jacob continued studying. My parents were almost done with their undergraduate degrees and would be enrolling for Masters next year. We told them about me and Alice going to school, our human friends, and that I was in the volleyball team.

They asked about how I could play with humans without hurting them and I told them that Uncle Emmett trained me to control my strength.

"Emmett, huh?" Tanya mused.

"That's what we all thought, too, but it worked. The bear knows what he's talking about," Rosalie joked and we all laughed. Uncle Emmett was never the serious type and always boasted about his strength. It was really a surprise that he was the one who taught me about controlling my strength.

The celebration was in full swing for the holidays. The house was filled with the smell of hot apple cider, pine tree, homemade cookies, pot roast and ham. Everyone stayed in our house rather than going back and forth between ours and the packs house like the last time. We were all comfortable in being together. Even Paul lightened up when Embry arrived.

Underneath the tree was a lot of boxes. My family was very big in gift giving. However when the time came, I was surprised that when they divided the boxes, I only got two.

"Alice, are you sure I only have two?" I asked.

"Yes, Nessie, I looked at all the tags and that's all you have," she answered.

I was not a materialistic girl, but I have gotten used to getting gifts from everyone in my family so I found it weird that I only had two gifts. The others already opened their gifts. Some were tickets for vacation, pair of expensive shoes, new video games and other random gifts.

"Aren't you going to open your gifts?" dad asked. I was the only one who hadn't opened anything.

"Open this first," Alice grabbed the two boxes from my lap and handed me the bigger box.

"Who is it from?" mom asked.

"To Nessie - From your family in Forks and La Push," I read the tag.

"That includes me and Leah," Seth announced.

I ripped the wrapper and I was ecstatic with what I saw. "It's a cell phone!" I jumped up and hugged all our visitors, even Paul, who didn't seem to mind me hugging him this time. I turned to Seth and Leah and gave them both quick hugs as well. "Thank you very much," I said, "Dad won't let me have one so thank you, really." Everyone laughed at my last comment.

Alice handed me the other box, "Here you go."

"To Renesmee - From the Cullens," it read. I shook the box. "I know the country's in recession, but I didn't expect it to affect vampires," I joked and everyone laughed. I shook it one more time as I tried to figure out what was inside.

"Just open it already," Uncle Emmett exclaimed impatiently. I ripped the ribbon and wrapper. It was a small white box. I looked at my family and no one was giving me any hint. I lifted the top and saw a key and a remote with VW on it. "No!" I said wide-eyed. I looked at my family; they had big smiles on their faces. "No way, no way," I jumped and shrieked.

"Do you want to at least know where it is?" Granma asked.

"Yeah!" I couldn't stop jumping.

Everyone got up and Uncle Jasper led the way to the garage. Parked in the middle was a purple Volkswagen Beetle. I didn't know when they parked it there because I haven't been to the garage since our vacation started.

"I can't believe you got me a car!" I shrieked again. I kissed each member of my family; Alice was the last. "That's why you asked me what car I wanted."

"If I had my way, I would've gotten you a Mustang," she said and I hugged her. We all walked back to the living room.

"A car and a cell phone, what a combination. I'm fine getting two gifts each year if it's as great as these," I said as I held the phone and the keys in my hand. "Whose idea were these?"

"Mine," Jacob said.

"Then I should be thanking you too," I smiled at him.

"No, it was just the idea. I wasn't part of the buying. They took care of that." He took out a box from his pocket, "This is my gift to you."

"Hey, you're supposed to put all the gifts under the tree," Uncle Emmett said but Jacob ignored him.

I took the gift from Jacob's hand and opened it. I smiled when I saw what it was. I felt tears pooled in my eyes; I blinked them back.

Jacob, thank you, I projected my thought to him. He smiled and nodded at me.

"Care to share?" mom said.

I lifted the gift from the box, "It's a digital voice recorder."

"Awww," Alice, Granma and my mom all sighed together. Dad chuckled.

"What am I missing?" Rosalie asked.

"Remember when you went to the pack's house? We sang some songs with Marianne, Sabrina and Ken. Jacob said that Nessie should hear herself because she didn't believe Jake when he said that she has a beautiful voice," Alice said.

"And now she can," mom said with a smile.

At the end of the day, I was tired. We told our visitors about my new power and I practiced with them. Grandpa Charlie didn't want to participate at first, but Grandma Sue and Billy convinced him. He then found my power quite interesting. We practiced longer projections which usually tire me out a lot faster.

I excused myself from everyone and headed to my room. I laid on my bed and felt my pockets. I took out the cell phone and car keys from one and put it on the side table. In my other pocket, I pulled out the voice recorder and felt something attached at the back that I didn't notice earlier. A piece of paper was taped on it:

Play me when you're alone

I sat up and opened my drawer where I kept my mp3 player. I didn't want anyone else to hear what was pre-recorded; whatever it was, it was intended only for me. I detached the earphones from my mp3 player and hooked it on the voice recorder. I took a deep breath before I pressed play. My heart melted when I heard Jacob's voice.

Hi, Nessie. Uhm, I don't really know what to say right now, but I hope that you like my gift. I'm recording this before I give it to you so I don't know what your reaction is going to be, but I really hope that you'll like it. Remember I told you that you should hear yourself sing so you'll know how good you are, so here's a recorder. I also inserted a memory card on the slot so you'll have more space to record. If you don't like what you recorded, don't throw the memory card, just give it to me, I'll be happy to give you a new one. I'll keep the one you recorded on. Okay, I'm starting to sound like a sappy dog so I'm gonna stop now.

There was a pause. I was about to press stop when I heard his voice again.

Oh yeah, by the way, I took the liberty on putting a song in here. Don't worry, it's not me singing. I actually downloaded the song for you.

I thought my heart melted when I heard his message. It was nothing compared to the emotions I felt when I heard the song he downloaded.

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind here you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret

though winds of change are throwing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do

Go to the ends of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love

I didn't know at what point I closed my eyes. When the song ended, I opened my eyes and my face was wet with tears. Jacob didn't say anything to me about his feelings, but this song was good enough for me…for now.

A/N: Anybody else falling in love with Jacob aside from me?

The picture of the VW Beetle in is my profile.

I just have to put the song 'To Make You Feel My Love' in this story because I fell in love with it. The version that's popular right now is by Adele, but if you watch American Idol 2009, Kris Allen, one of the guys, sang the song during the Country Week and it was really good. It's his version that I posted in my profile, rather than the Garth Brooks or Billy Joel version.

Next update will be some time next week since I'm going to be out of town for the next few days.
