It all came to a head when one day Jacob was with Renesmee and she noticed that her mother and Ginjiro were going out. They came and said goodbye to the baby and headed for the door. She started struggling against Jacob to get out of his arms and kept flashing images of her mother and Ginjiro leaving without her.
"They're just going out, Nessie, they'll be back soon," Jacob tells her as he tried to comfort her.
But the minute Bella and Ginjiro stepped out the door the baby wailed and burst into tears. It was the first time anyone had seen Renesmee cry and no one knew what to do, Jacob was at a loss as to what to do. Bella and Ginjiro come rushing back into the and Bella snatch the baby away from Jacob.
"What did you do?"
"Me? She freaked out when she saw you and Ginjiro leave. She kept flashing images of you and Ginjiro into my head. More of him than you," Jacob gave Ginjiro a dirty look, "What the hell did you do to her, Demon, do you have her under some sort of spell?"
Bella is stunned by Jacob's accusations, "Are you insane, Ginjiro would never do that to her."
"Then why does she always want to spend time with him? It used to be me that she wanted to spend time with."
Rose stared at Jacob, "Oh my god, you're jealous."
"I am not!"
Kostas laughed, "Yes, you are, Jacob, it's written all over your face."
Jacob started shaking, "He's trying to take my imprint!"
Instantly Ginjiro was in front of Jacob, his eyes flashing red, "I suggest you calm down Mongrel or I will be forced to put you down." He said with a growl.
Jacob immediately backed down, "I just don't get it, what makes you so special."
Ginjiro rolled his eyes, "It's very simple, Jacob, Renesmee recognizes me as her Alpha. No not in the way you are thinking, as her father figure. With Bella as my mate, Renesmee is now my kit. It's only natural for a child to want to be with her father after being so long without one."
Jacob was stunned, then he shakes his head, "Wait so basically you have adopted her?"
"Not yet, when Bella and are truly mated I will perform a ceremony give her a drop of my blood and she will become my kit."
Carlisle steps forward, "Does that mean the same thing will happen to her what happened to Emmett."
"Not exactly, I am nowhere near as powerful as Lord Sesshomaru but it will change her. She will still have vampiric traits but she will also have Kitzune traits as well. What they will be I don't know, she may inherit my fox magic."
"What's Fox Magic," Jasper asked.
"Fox Magic is a type of magic used by kitsune. It allows them to produce a type of green fire which can inflict damage, create barriers and cause transformations, something that kitsune are especially known for. There is a rank system that indicates the capabilities of fox magic at different levels. I will, of course, teach her to control and advance her skill as she gets older as will Shippou." Ginjiro informs them with a smile. He takes Renesmee from Bella, "Now, my kit, would you like to go with your mother and me to see your grandfather? Then we will go out to eat."
Renesmee squeals and touches her new father's neck showing how happy she is, he laughs at the images she projects in his mind, "I shall take that as a yes."
Bella takes Renesmee back, "Let me go get her ready," She gives Ginjiro a sweet kiss on the lips which causes the baby to giggle and goes upstairs to change her. When the baby is ready Bella comes back downstairs and they head out to Charlie's house.
Upon arrival, Charlie comes out of the house followed by Sue Clearwater. Charlie and Sue had been dating for quite some time and Charlie had asked her to come over for moral support to meet the new man in Bella's life.
Bella gets out of the car she opens the back door and takes Renesmee out of her car seat. She walks around to the driver's side of the car where Ginjiro has gotten out. He takes Renesmee from Bella while Bella greets Charlie and Sue.
"Dad it's so good to see you, you too Sue."
"It's good to see you too, Bells. I thought you were going to leave Renesmee at home?"
"We were but she had a fit when she saw us leaving the house so we thought it would be better just to bring her, Are you ready to meet my mate?"
Bella had called Charlie and explained everything that had been going on the last couple of weeks and had told him all about Ginjiro. She explained the feeling that she felt when she first met him and that he felt the same way. But that even though they were mates they were going to take things slow. Which made Charlie very happy, but he still wants to meet him
Charlie took a deep breath and looked at Sue who gave him a nod of encouragement, "Yeah I'm ready to meet him."
Bella and Charlie walked back towards the car where Ginjiro was waiting for them. He smiled at Charlie and met them halfway, "Chief Swan it is an honor to meet you, sir, I am Ginjiro Mori" He said as he shakes Charlie's hand.
"It's nice to meet you too, son," Charlie smiles at Ginjiro then holds out his hand for Renesmee who is straining to go to her grandfather, "Come here, little bug, how are you, sweetheart?"
Renesmee puts her hand on Charlie's neck and shows her images of what she's been doing since the last time she saw her grandfather. She showed her images of her mother and Ginjiro talking and holding hands. Of her playing with Ginjiro, of her eating regular food. And of how happy she was.
Charlie smiled, "It's still hard for me to grasp how she can do that but it's great that she can communicate at such a young age."
Sue smiles at how happy Charlie is, "Why don't we go inside, I made lunch for everyone."
The baby gives out a happy shriek at the thought of having lunch with her family. Everyone laughs and head inside. The go into the kitchen where Charlie observes how Ginjiro pulls out Bella's chair and serves her food, he waits until Bella starts eating for him to begin to eat. Charlie thinks that's a little odd but he likes how Ginjiro puts Bella ahead of himself. He watches as Ginjiro feeds Renesmee and the baby happily accepts.
After lunch, they go into the living room so that Charlie can get to know Ginjiro a little more, "So, Bella tells me that you're a Youkai."
"Yes, sir, I'm a Kitzune Youkai."
Charlie, having heard the stories from his brother, knows exactly what he is, "You're a fox Youkai, interesting."
Ginjiro looks at Charlie surprised, "My brother used to tell me stories," Charlie tells him.
Ginjiro nod, "Yes, I am a fox, would you like to see my true form?"
Charlie nods. Without hesitation Ginjiro drops his Glamour, Charlie's eyes widen then his brow furrows, "Aren't you suppose to have a tail?"
Ginjiro laughs, "I never remove the glamour off my tails, the only person I would ever allow to see my tails is Bella. But in this case, I shall make an exception."
Ginjiro removes his glamour and reveals 10 snow white tails, he swishes them around and smiles.
"They're beautiful, Ginjiro," Sue tells him.
"Thank you very much, Sue."
"Is there a significance to the amount that you have?"
"Yes, the more you have the more skilled and powerful you are," He explains as he reapplies the glamour.
"So, Ginjiro, what do you do for a living?"
"I am a Youkai healer. I was commissioned by Kagome and Emmett's pack leader to help with her pregnancy."
"Well, that was very kind of him."
"Yes, he takes very good care of his pack members. And I am glad that he chose me otherwise I never would have found my mate."
"Speaking of which, can you explain to me more about this mate business?"
"Of course, a mate is…"
For the rest of the afternoon, Ginjiro explains to Charlie and Sue all about Youkai mates and what it entailed. By the time they left, Charlie had a better understanding and had a very good impression of Ginjiro.
