Chapter 5

Renesmee's POV

When I woke up it was quarter til 8 at night, which meant I slept a little over 5 1/2 hours. Great now my sleeping schedule will be messed up for a while, it's going to be such a pain to get back into my regular routine. I sat up on my bed, legs crossed, replaying the events from earlier in the day in my mind, trying to comphrend that what happened was actually real. So after nine years of wondering, I finally met my father, granted he had no idea who I was so it really wasn't a meeting, but now the mystery of what he looks like has finally been solved. Yet now there's another ever presistening question on my mind, how do I proceed from here on out. Do I even consider telling mom what happened today, because I have no idea how she would react.

I was brought out of my thoughts by a knock on my door.

"Come in mom" I said already knowing who it was.

Mom opened the door and I was a little surprised to see how nervous she looked.

"Shouldn't you be getting ready for work" I asked, wondering what she had to be nervous about. She didn't answer right away, instead she just walked over sat next to me on my bed.

"Renesmee why didn't you tell me you met your father today at school" she asked completley throwing me off guard.

"How did you know" I asked completley stunned that she knew.

"He stopped by right after you went upstairs to sleep, you must of been too exhausted to notice him following you" she explained.

"He really is my father then. I just basing it off the fact that the two of us looked so much alike" I explained, feeling a tad better now that my mom gave me the confirmation herself.

"That you two do, but Renesmee I wanted to let you know that I want you to have a relationship with your father, if that's what you so choose. Despite what you may think or feel, I would never get in the way of you two forming a relationship, I was just shocked by his sudden apperance" she explained and I could see it in her eyes that she really meant it.

"What about you two though, I mean are things cool between you guys" I asked with increased curiosity about what happened between them while I was asleep.

"At first it was incredibly awkard between us, but we agreed in the end that it's better that we just stay friends" she as she put her hand on my shoulder.

Mom wasn't telling the truth that much was clear to me, but I decided better than to question her out on it. Maybe I could press Edward about it, or even better a third party that would never ever lie to me.

"Thanks mom" I said hugging her, knowing how hard this all must of been for her to deal with.

"Anything for you Renesmee" she said hugging me tightly but not too tightly.

After mom left to go get ready for her night shift as a cleaning lady at the hospital, I started wondering how things were going turn out for here on out. I really hate change, but in this case scenario nothing will ever be the same as it once was. School tomoroww sure is going to be interesting, even more interesting than my very first day of high school where Carla ended up pretending to be a lesbian to make several of the annoying guys ,who were bothing me, to leave me alone. What a great way to start a friendship.

I got out of my bed and went towards my window and saw mom getting into her car. I waiting just a few minutes until I was sure she wouldn't be able to hear my conversation with Jake. Then I quickly bolted down the stairs, and sure enough Jake was sitting on the couch watching the Pirates take on the Brewers.

I walked over to the couch and quickly layed down with my head on his lap.

"Look who's finally awake, I would have figured you would have been out longer than 5 hours with how tired you were earlier Ness" Jake said with that beautiful smile of his.

"I'm already guessing you know why" I said figuring Mom would have already told him.

He didn't respond, but his face went from relaxation to one of hurt and anger. Interesting.

I quickly got up and positioned myself into a sitting position next to Jake.

"Jake since your my best friend, you would never lie to me right" I asked as sweetly as I could.

"Yeah I suppose so" he said, but the tone in his voice as he said it was suspicious of where I was going with it.

"What exactly happened between my parents before I was born. Mom doesn't seem to want to tell me the entire truth and I was hoping you could shed some light on it" I asked finally getting to my point.

"Nessie I really think that conversation should between you and your parents. Bella would have my head if I talked to you about it" he said obiviously looking torn, because on the one hand he hates lying to me, but then again he has such a loyalty to my mother.

"Is there anything you would be willing to tell me that my mother won't" I asked trying to compromise.

I could see he was thinking hard about what he was going to say, so i guess he was going to tell me something that wouldn't get him into too much trouble with mom.

"You ok Jacob don't think too hard now" I asked when he didn't reply for several minutes.

Jake sighed and said "Nessie I don't exactly have a good opinion of Edward Cullen or in that matter anything nice to say about the guy. I got to make sure I word myself correctly."

"I don't care about that Jake, just tell me something because I know Edward isn't this all perfect being as my mom tries to make him out to be. I'm not that stupid, nobody is that perfect. I know something big happened between them that mom isn't willing to tell me. Please Jake even if it's brief" I explained just wanting to have some answers.

"You better not tell Bella I told you, or I'm going to kill you" Jake said in defeat.

I just rolled my eyes and said "Would never dream of it"

"Despite what your mom told you, the breakup was not at all mutual on both sides. He crushed her heart, the day after her birthday and said some very unkind things to her that she wouldn't even tell me. I'll never forgive him for what he did to her because she was so messed up until she discovered she was pregnant with you" Jacob said grinding his teeth in anger like he was remembering it all.

So what on earth happened that caused him to say such things to her.

"Do you think it's worth getting to know him" I asked, because if Jacob obivously didn't like him then I don't think I could either. Jacob didn't usually hate anyone unless given good reason to.

"Listen Nessie I do have my own opinions, but this isn't about me it's about you. If you want to give Edward Cullen a chance I promise I'll try to be as supportive as I can be, but I can't give you my full support as much as I would like to" he said sounding really torn.

"Thanks for being honest with me Jake, that's the best thing I love about you" I said as I layed my head on his shoulder.

"Anything for you Ness" he said, but this time I couldn't help but notice a different tone to his voice than usual. It was comforting, but in a different way that I just couldn't place.

After spending the rest of the night with Jacob watching classic horror movies and pointing out all the faults, in each one I was now currently on my way to school. Truth be told I felt a little bite more confident about talking with Edward today than I did yesterday, but the feeling of uncertainty was still there. Then there was the fact when mom came home from work she seemed suprisingly cheerful almost too cheerful, that even Jacob started questioning her sanity.

"What up bitch" the familar voice of Carla called out to me.

I looked over and saw her sitting one on the front steps of the school.

"Where the hell is Zoey" I asked surprised because Zoey, besides Carla and me, always showed up to school extremley early due to her home problems with her parents.

"Something about her mom being extremley sick from her hangover from last night, so she has to make sure she's alright. She texted me she was going to take the bus, so she'll be here around quarter to 7" Carla explained as she took out one of her cigerattes and lite it up.

"I am amazed that you haven't been caught yet with the way you smoke" I said teasing her affectionley.

"Oh no what are they going to do suspend me, oh wait that's right my dad's the principal. He would never suspend his little girl." Carla said sarcastically with a laugh before puffing out a smoke.

"So I showed up to Brammer's class a minute late yesterday" I informed her as I chuckled at the memory.

Carla immediantley busted out laughing and said "Oh my god, he must of been angry as hell. I'm amazed you didn't get detention like you did last year"

"Probably just didn't want to deal with me more than he had too, which is fine by me because the less I have to deal with him the better" I informed her.

The next few minutes were filled with silence as we just sat on the front steps, but the silence was soon shattered by two vehicles entering the parking lot. One of the cars was a silver volvo, and the other one was a red convertable. Surprisingly or not surprisingly however you want to look at it, the owners of those expensive vehicles were the Cullens.

"Man their daddy must be bringing home some serious money. Those vehicles have to be top notch. " Carla said admiring their vehicles.

They didn't get out of their cars, but instead stayed in them and seemed to be talking. I couldn't exactly make out what they were hearing due to my concentration being divided to Carla. Though I could make out one of them saying about how obvious it was that Edward and I were related.

"You should go over there and ask Edward out. From what we heard yesterday he's still single" Carla said whispering in my hear.

"What" I exclaimed in shocked at her suggestion, resisting the urge to say that I couldn't ask my own father out. At the same time I could have sworn one the Cullens let out a laugh.

"Since you claim Jacob Black is only a friend, you need to find yourself a boyfriend. I mean even Zoey has had a boyfriend or two here and now" Carla explained.

"Thanks for the concern Carla, but I think i'll be just fine" I said wishing Carla would just drop the subject.

Carla got up and stood behind me and hugged me from behind "Not when your female urges take over. Once they take over, your need to be held and cuddled increases ten fold. Then before you know it the next thing you hear is, oh Renesmee oh oh oh OH."

As she talked, Carla literally put her hands over my stomach and pretended to hump me, causing both of our bodies to shake, as she literally outloud made sex noises that even the Cullen's could hear without their vamprie hearing. The big muscualar guy in the jeep that I think was called Emmett, was leaning into his steering wheel laughing so loud that it made it sound like an earthquake was happening.

"How the hell did I become friends with such a pervert" I said through my laughs.

Edward's POV

Looking at Renesmee from the distance, I can't help but let my thoughts wander about what could have been had I not left all those years ago. So many questions plague my mind, like her growth spurt or what parts of here made her a vampire and human. Bella obviously raised her very well because she seems so comfortable with herself and very self assured.

"Why don't you go talk to her, Edward" Alice said bouncing with excitement, hoping to soon take Renesmee on a shopping trip once she is offically introduced to the rest of the family.

"I will in biology, none of her friends are in class with her. That way I can at least talk to her uninterrupted" I said I saw the first of the few buses coming into the parking lot. Renesmee and Carla got up to meet their friend Zoey as she got off the bus.

"Biology, kinda of ironic don't you think" Alice said obiviously thinking about Bella and I.

"Maybe you should invite her to sit with us at lunch" however this did not come from Alice, but Jasper.

Once I explained to the family about Renesmee, Jasper did not take it well at all. He has always blamed himself for what happened 9 years ago, but now that he knows about Renesmee that guilt has further intensified.

I couldn't keep the surprise off my face as I looked at him through the rear a view mirror, even Alice couldn't help but look at Jasper a little strange.

"You want to introduce her to family do you not, even if it is for just 35 minutes for right now. When she does eventually come over to our house, we don't want it to be too awkard for her Besides I'm sure Rosalie will have your head if you do introduce her soon" Jasper said.

Rosalie was not happy with me, in fact she was furious with me once she found out about Renesmee. She has refused to speak to me all day, and refused to ride with me in the same car. Emmett of course sided with Rosalie, but as usual kept the he's not a virgin anymore jokes coming.

"I suppose your right, but I only just discovered I had a daughter as of yesterday. I guess maybe i'm not ready to Introduce her to everyone else just yet, I barely even know her myself" I explained why I wasn't feeling at ease with having her meet all my siblings today at lunch.

"Then spend the day with her, do something after school with her Edward. Bella did say she wants you in her life, so take the opportunity while you can. I'm positive Renesmee wouldn't mind spending some time with you after school" Alice said.

I looked out my window and watched as Renesmee was laughing with her friends as they headed inside the school. Alice was right I need to take every opportunity that I have in order to get to know Renesmee, it wasn't going to make up for my abscence for the past 9 years, but I had to start somewhere. I'm not sure what all Renesmee knows about what happened between her mother and I, but I was determined to show her that I want to be here for her now and for her mother despite what she may believe.

Author's Note

Well there's chapter 5 and I hoped everyone liked it. This chapter was getting way longer than I anticipated so I'm going to dedicate the whole next chapter to just Edward and Renesmee. I want to make it so it's not too much fo a drag on, but still satisfying at the same time. Sorry for how long it took to update, but I recently just started back to school and college owns my life write now, so it could be a week or 2 before my next chapter. So to make it up to you guys, I'm going to write extra one shots throough out the story but i want you guys to submit your ideas. For example if you want me to write about a scene from Renesmee's childhood I will, or about her first day ever at high school I will. It doesn't even have to be about Renesmee or the Cullens, it could be a story about Carla or Zoey if you wanted or just extra characters from the original trilogy. I'm going to make sure these extras keep you entertained as the main chapters continues to be written. So please continue to read and review and let me know what you think.
