RENESMEE

I could never get used to waking up next to Jacob.

"Good morning," he mumbled into my neck.

"Hey," I said rolling over and smiling at him. He smiled back and leant forward to kiss my forehead. We got out of bed and we got ready for the day. I always smiled as I changed because I knew he'd be watching me. When I was done I made my way down the stairs. My parents, Eddie and grandparents were talking to the glowing girl that was like my brother.

"Good morning," I said.

"Good morning sweetheart. I've made you some breakfast." My grandmother said.

"Thanks grandma," I replied and walked into the kitchen. I sat down next to Chloe who was eating her cereal.

"Hey you," I said to her.

"Hiya," she muttered with her mouth full. I took a pancake and put it on my plate.

"I see no banquet today. I knew that wasn't going to last long," Jacob muttered sitting next to me. Chloe and I laughed.

It wasn't long before both Chantelle and Pancrazio came down. Pancrazio frowned at the table.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"No eggs," he said. I laughed and shook my head. "Go moan to my dad and he might make you some."

"No its okay. I was thinking about hunting today if your family will let me." He said sitting down. I frowned at him and Jacob put his fork down. He looked up at us. "I mean animals." He assured us. Both Jacob and I let out a sigh of relief.

"What a good idea! I'm going, I don't fancy human crap today," Chantelle said with a smile. I rolled my eyes at her and continued eating.

"It's not that bad," Jacob said to her.

"You're not a vampire," she shot back at him.

"Neither are you squirt," he grinned.

"I'm closer to a vampire than you are!"

"Ha ha," Jacob replied sarcastically.

"You're just a dog. Dogs eat anything," she grinned back. I rolled my eyes; I knew she had taken a while to think that up.

"Jacob is a dog?" Pancrazio asked confused. Most of the room laughed.

"Technically no. I'm a shape shifter but my form is a wolf," Jacob answered.

"Oh, yeah of course," he said looking down.

"A lot of my family like to joke around about it. Especially my Aunt Rose and Chantelle." I told him.

"You are way too much like your mother have I ever told you that?" Jacob asked Chantelle standing up to put his plate in the sink.

"Yup about three hundred times," she grinned. He just smiled and came to sit back over by me.

"Are you going to come hunting with us Ness?" Chantelle asked. I shook my head.

"No. I'm gunna stay here. Go have fun," I said raising my eyebrows suggestively at her. She glared at me and stood up.

"Come on Pancr- you need a nick name, your name is a mouthful," she muttered and walked out the room.

"What's a nick name?" Pancrazio asked as he followed her out.

"We could always call him pancreas," Jacob joked, I slapped him playfully on the arm.

"He's a person. Not a bodily organ," I scolded him.

"Sorry," he laughed. "But seriously, why did Aro name his kid that?"

"It means leader, or supreme leader or something," I answered. "He probably picked it for the meaning."

"I wonder what my name means," Jacob pondered.

"Probably dog," Rosalie murmured walking into the kitchen.

"Does Rosalie mean bitch?" Jacob asked her.

"Okay okay. Stop. I thought you guys stopped this," I said to them glaring.

"Sorry Ness," Jacob murmured.

"Keep your puppy on a tighter leach hun. He's getting out of control," Rosalie said raising her eyebrows at Jacob, daring for him to reply to her. I sighed. I was proud of Jacob for not biting the bait. I patted his leg and Rosalie walked out the room again after she had got the phone from the hook.

I noticed Chloe standing up from the chair.

"Hey you okay? You've been quiet," I observed. She nodded and smiled before she left the room. I frowned and stood up. "You mind if I talk to Chloe?" I asked Jacob.

"Not at all," he said to me. "I have to go find Bella anyway, we're going out today," he said. I narrowed my eyes at him. What did he need with my mom? He laughed and pecked my lips.

"Go find your friend I'll see you later," he said and walked away.

"Where are you going with my mom?" I asked after him. It wasn't my fault I got a little bit jealous when it came to him and my mom. I mean… she was my mom.

"La Push."

"Why?"

"Why the twenty questions Ness?" he asked coming back over to him.

"I'm still not okay with the fact you made out with my mom! Give me some credit, why are you going to La Push?" I asked frustrated.

"To talk to the wolves, Bella wanted to catch up with some old friends. She did have a life before you, she only wants to visit them," he said, I felt hurt the way he said 'before you' like I was conceited enough to believe she didn't.

"Okay, that's all you needed to say," I shot back at him. What was with the sudden mood change? I turned and walked up the stairs. Trying to forget the small almost fight Jacob and I had just had. I walked up to my brother's door and knocked lightly. There was no answer so I looked in. Chloe wasn't there. I closed the door and walked into my room and sure enough she was curled up on my bed. I walked over to her and lay down next to her.

"What's wrong?" I asked. She rolled over to look at me.

"Esther," she murmured, saying the name like it was dirt. I raised my eyebrows.

"Are you jealous?" I asked. She sighed.

"No. Yes. No. Maybe. I don't know. I guess so, Eddie just wants to spend so much time with her and I don't want to seem clingy but she's just so pretty and what if he starts liking her more than he likes me?" she asked in a rant. I sighed and smiled at her.

"My brother loves you. He won't ever like anyone as much as he likes you. Believe me on that. I know my brother better than anyone. You don't need to worry, you guys will be together forever," I assured her. She sighed and rested her head on my bed, looking up at the ceiling.

"That's what he said."

"Well there you go."

"I just wish she'd hurry up and go."

"I don't think she'll be going for a while yet," I answered her slowly. She sighed in frustration. "Well if it makes you feel any better. Jacobs spending the day with my mom."

"Oh really?" she asked. I nodded. "What are they doing?" she asked suggestively.

"Don't say it like that. I don't know what they're doing Jacob just said they were going to see old friends," I said to her.

"Go use your magic on your dad. He'll tell you," she said.

"Yeah I will when I can be bothered to move." She laughed slightly and sighed. "When my mom gets back you can always talk to her about this Esther Eddie thing. I know she was pretty worried when she met Tanya and other vampires."

"Why?"

"Because she thought she wasn't good enough for my dad. Just like you do."

"Oh. Yeah I guess I could go talk to her when she gets back," she sighed.

Jacob and my mom came back mid-afternoon. I didn't greet them as I heard them walk through the door; I stayed in my room and read my book. I didn't want to see Jacob right now anyway. I don't know why I couldn't have gone, what if I wanted to see Sam and Emily and all the wolves?

"Where's Renesmee?" I heard my mom ask, I knew she was wondering why I hadn't come to greet Jacob. "Jake?" she asked again.

"I don't know, probably in her room sulking," he answered her. Right because that's what I do when I don't get my own way…

"Jake? Did you have your first fight?" she asked, humour clear in her voice.

"Don't say it like that Bells."

"Is that what's been wrong with you all day?" she asked again. Their conversation became quieter and quieter as they walked away from the hall, I couldn't hear it anymore so I leapt off my bed. Chloe frowned at me and I placed my finger over my mouth to tell her to be quiet. I tip toed down the stairs and went into the direction of their voices. When I reached the door of the study I paused listening to them.

"You're my best friend Bella, I shouldn't have to explain where I'm going with you," Jacob said frustrated.

"But Jake, you have to realise she's still a little fragile when it comes to me and you being together. I can't even begin to explain what she must be feeling."

"But she seemed to be over it." He muttered.

"Well obviously not," my mom whispered. Jacob sighed and I heard him collapse into the arm chair. "Maybe going out today wasn't a good idea."

"No it was. It's just Nessie and her stupid teenage hormones," he said. Of course it was. I took off running to my room, not caring to cover my tracks and be quiet. I ran into my room and threw myself on the bed. I crossed my arms and rested my chin against my hands; I was more angered than upset.

"You okay?" Chloe asked.

"Mhmm," I said to her.

"You sure."

"Mhmm."

"Okay," she answered going back to her summer assignment for school.

"Ness?" I heard from behind my door.

"I don't want to talk to you," I replied.

"Babe. I'm sorry," Jacob answered.

"I'm the one that should be apologizing. For my stupid teenage hormones. I'm so sorry they're so out of order. Come back when I can control them," I muttered sarcastically.

"Ness…" he said this time coming into the room. He sighed.

"You know what…. I'm gunna leave you two too… rebond," Chloe said awkwardly and climbed off my bed. She gave me a sympathetic look and left the room.

"Ness, we're gunna have arguments, we're going to be mad at each other, it's what normal couples are like," he said coming to lie next to me.

"My parents aren't."

"We're not your parents. Your parents have mastered the balance; they know what the other is like and how they would react to things. We have to learn that," he said and brought his lips closer to mine. I jerked away from him. I was in no mood for kissing.

"You've known me my entire life. After seven years I'd think we'd have that," I muttered back. He sighed.

"Can we just forget about this and carry on how we were?" he asked. I looked up into his brown eyes and sighed, I just couldn't stay mad at him. Maybe I did take it a little too hard. I nodded and he smiled at me but not completely letting it go.

"Emily is pregnant," he grinned. My eyes widened in shook.

"Seriously?" I asked, my voice rising in excitement. He nodded. "It's about time," I muttered sitting up on my bed. He chuckled.

"Yeah that's what a lot of people said." He said still smiling at me. I wasn't completely over our little argument. I sighed and reached for him wrapping my arms around his shoulders and hugging him. He hugged me back, feeling his arms around me made me forget I was ever mad at him. I dug my face in his shoulder.

"I'm so-," I began.

"Don't apologize," he whispered to me and kissed my shoulder. I didn't reply, I just shut up and continued to hug him.

As it turned out Pancrazio couldn't manage to satisfy his appetite with the animal blood. My dad gave him some donated hospital blood afterwards. At least he had tried. We were planning on easing him into it. Having human blood in the house again was eerie. I hadn't smelt that for a long time.

Esther stayed for another night but the next day she said she would be going. My grandpa gave her a contact number and she assured him she'd purchase a phone to keep in contact with Eddie. Chloe was glad when Esther left and I sort of felt glad too. She was weird and Eddie was spending too much time with her.

Jacob and I got over our fight pretty quickly. It was a result of PMS as I found out later but I wasn't going to admit that to Jacob. Things slowly got back to normal. Eddie and I decided to go to the cottage a few days before my parent's anniversary. We placed notes all around the house, saying happy anniversary, telling them how much we loved them, how much they meant to us etc. We also placed two giant stuffed bears on their bed. The bears were hugging each other. One had a pink dress on and the other had a suit on. We got little pieces of paper and rolled them up to points to put on the bears mouths as teeth for a joke to show they were vampires. We placed a large card on the bed, signed by us as well as a million rose petals covering the room. We ordered the biggest bouquet of roses we could find and bought two, one on each bedside table of the bed. My parents barely came to the cottage. Only ever on their anniversary so we knew they wouldn't see it until it their anniversary. I was excited on the morning of the thirteenth of August. I unwillingly let the fact we had done something to the cottage slip in my mind. My dad pretended like he didn't know though so I was happy. When they left at noon for their afternoon away I was practically jumping with anticipation. About ten minutes later my phone buzzed. I grinned as I answered it.

"Hello?" I asked pretending I didn't know who it was.

"Thank you," my mom said on the other end, she sounded like she was crying.

"You're welcome!" I said grinning.

"I love you so much Renesmee." She whispered.

"I love you too momma," I said to her.

"Can I talk to your brother please?" she asked.

"Sure," I said and ran into my brother's room, without even knocking. He was sitting at his desk writing something. I held the phone out to him.

"It's mom," I told him.

"Hey mom, like our little surprise?" he said.

"Oh yes! Thank you so much for what you and Renesmee did at the cottage, I love it," I heard on the other end.

"You're welcome momma. Go have fun, that's what you're there for," he said, I heard her laugh on the other end.

"I love you," she said.

"Love you too," he answered.

"Your dad says thank you too," she said.

"Tell him he's welcome. We'll see you tomorrow," Eddie said.

"Bye," she said with a giggle hanging up immediately. Ew. I took the phone back from him.

"Surprised dad let her reach the phone," Eddie chuckled.

"Ew. Shut up," I said to him leaving the room. I heard Eddie chuckle louder as I made my way back to my own.
