CHAPTER 54 ~ PEACEFUL

Renesmee P.O.V

I was sitting in Jacob's lap; his arms were wrapped around me, keeping me warm. I was getting pretty sick lately, I had tubes in me and needles stuck in my arms. Carlisle expected the baby to come in another couple of weeks.

My mom and dad came into the lounge room to see how I was doing. I looked at them, and I could tell they were hungry. Their eyes were the darkest I've seen them, and they couldn't stand being around Jacob for too long.

"Mom, dad, go and hunt. You need it." I looked at the rest of my family, who were sitting around us. All of their eyes were dark too. "Go and eat, all of you." I said.

"No, its fine, we can wait." My dad said, groaning.

"No, you can't. Go, we'll be fine." I assured them.

"Nessie, we need to stay here." Carlisle said.

"Why? Because of me? Trust me, I'll be fine. I have Jacob here with me, if anything happens, we'll call you, and you'll come back. Please, go. You can't wait for another two weeks; you guys haven't eaten in ages."

Carlisle thought about it for a while, and then he walked over to Jacob.

"We are going to go, just for a couple of hours or so. We will try and eat as much as we can, so we don't have to go again for a while. If anything happens, and I mean anything, call me straight away, do you understand?" Jacob nodded. "And stay here, don't go anywhere, ok?" We both nodded.

"I'll take care of her." Jake said. Carlisle smiled at us, and then he and the rest of my family left to hunt.

Kiara and Sebastian were spending a lot of time at Grandpa Charlie's house lately; we didn't want them to be around with me being so sick, we didn't want them to worry.

So Jake and I were home alone. I was still curled up on his lap, and he still had his big warm arms wrapped around me.

"Jake…"

"Yeah? What is it? Are you ok? I'll go call Carlisle…"

"No! Jake, calm down, I'm fine!" He relaxed a little.

"What is it?" He asked.

"Well, we haven't' been to the meadow in a long time… and my family definitely wouldn't allow it if they were here…" I started.

"Yeah, and?"

"We don't know how much time I exactly have left…"

"Ness, don't talk like that! You don't have a deadline; you have all the time in the world!" I could see a tear in his eye.

"Jacob, we both know that's not true. I'm dying. There, I said it. I want to go to the meadow before I go. I want to go there, with you. I want it to be like old times, where we just lie in the grass, and look up at the clouds. I don't want to be cooped up in here with nothing to do in my last few days." The tear that was in his eye fell down his cheek. I wiped it away.

"Renesmee, I don't like it when you talk like that. Yes, I know that the chances of you surviving are very small. I know that. But I don't want to think about that, I want to think about the fact that you still have a chance of living. You're not going to die, ok?"

"I love you, you know that right?" I told him.

"I know. I love you too."

"Then please, take me to the meadow." I begged.

"No. We promised Carlisle that we would stay here."

"But Jake, we won't spend very much time there, and if anything goes wrong, you can rush me back here in ten seconds tops, and we can call Carlisle and he will rush back too. Please Jake; I want to go before… you know."

"Fine. But we aren't going for very long. And I'll have to work extra hard on keeping this from your dad."

"I know. Thank you."

Jacob helped me stand up. He took out all of the tubes and needles that were attached to me, and he picked me up and took me to the meadow.

It was just as how I imagined it would be. The sun was shining through the trees, onto the beautiful green grass. Lovely pink flowers were blossoming everywhere, and the sky was full with big white clouds for us to look at.

Jacob laid me down in the grass, and then he lay down next to me. I loved the feeling of the warm sun against my cold skin. It made me feel better.

We stared at the clouds for what seemed like hours, when I knew it was only a few minutes. I cherished every second I had in that meadow. I concentrated hard on my breathing, noticing every smell in detail. I could smell the beautiful flowers and the fresh grass, and Jacob's beautiful scent. I whished I could stay here, forever, with my Jacob. But I knew I only had days left. It didn't matter what Jacob said, and how many times he wanted to say it. I knew my time was almost up. I could sense it. I placed my hand on my huge belly, hoping that at least he or she would be alright. I turned to face Jacob, who had his eyes shut. I studied his beautiful features, for what could be the last time.

"Jacob…"

"Hmm…" He murmured.

"I love you." I whispered.

"I love you too." He said, keeping his eyes shut.

I whished I could stay here, in our meadow. I whished that this was all a dream, and that everything would be ok when I woke up. I whished that and so many other things. It was so peaceful here, why couldn't everything be so peaceful, just like this moment?

Suddenly, a stabbing pain ripped through my whole body, and everything went black.
