Chapter 8: Date
Nessie's POV
I was smiling as I felt at peace right now with Jacob. It was morning time and he had offered to take me out to breakfast. I was feeding Tyler while we waited for our breakfast. One thing that I loved about Jacob is that he didn't mind at all that I had a baby. Jacob liked Tyler more than Tyler's own father had.
If only Jacob could have been Tyler's father instead. Jacob was great with him and I was sure he'd be a great dad to a child one day. Then I remembered something. Jacob already had a baby once. A baby that died. "Jacob can I ask you a question? If you don't have to answer it though if you don't want to,"
"Sure Nessie. You can ask me anything. What is that you want to know?"
"What was your daughter's name?"
I saw his eyes well up with tears and I instantly regretted asking. "Her name was Leslie. Her mother picked out that name,"
"I'm really sorry Jacob. I can't even imagine how painful it must be to lose a child," I held Tyler a little closer to me. I couldn't imagine the pain of losing him. I wouldn't lose him. I had to believe that he would survive this threat from my evil aunt and uncle.
"It really is the most painful thing a father can experience. It was really hard on her mother to. You see Leah didn't think she was capable of having children. So when she got pregnant it was nothing short of a miracle. Then to lose her only a week later. Well it was just too much. Leah disappeared and nobody ever saw her again. We searched for months and we never found her. She never returned. I just hope she's okay. Wherever she's at,"
"That must have been really hard on you to lose your daughter and your girlfriend,"
"Yes. It was hard to move on. I don't think that I could have done it without the support of everyone around me. I'm ready to try to move on with my life. I want to marry and have more kids one day,"
"So do I," I blushed as soon as the words were out of my mouth. Oh God I hoped fervently that I didn't just scare him off. "I mean-what do I mean-oh my God just tell me to shut up already,"
"and why would I tell you to shut up? Maybe I like hearing what you have to say,"
"Well now I'm completely speechless,"
"I'm serious Nessie. Tyler's father is a complete idiot. He had you and a baby. If I were me I would have valued what I had with you. Not treated you two the way that he did. He was stupid to toss you and his own son aside like you were nothing. It makes me quite angry honestly,"
"If only it had been you," the words slipped out before I could stop them. Okay it was official. As soon as we got home I was going to staple my mouth shut so I could not utter another embarrassing word ever again.
"You wish that what had been me?" he asked curiously. I blushed harder but it was clear that I was going to get out of this one unscathed.
"I wish that you had been Tyler's father. Or someone like you at least. Someone who is good, kind hearted, loves children, treats women well instead of like a sexual object," where was my filter? Oh right apparently I had none.
"Nessie believe me when I say this but I wish that it would have been me to,"
The waitress arrived just then with our food. Good maybe by stuffing my mouth full of food I'd stop my embarrassing thoughts from slipping out. About halfway through breakfast I could smell that Tyler had made a mess in his diaper. "We'll be right back. I just need to change him really quickly,"
On my way to the bathroom someone walked up behind me and tapped my shoulder. Startled I turned around and found myself face to face with a police officer. There was another officer right by his side.
"Excuse me but are you Renesmee Baker?"
"Um I don't know who that is,"
"We received a phone call from a source here who says that you and your son match the missing children's description for two missing minors in Kentucky. Your image and your son's image do match the images that were provided to us. So are you-"
I panicked and punched the police officer so hard that he fell. I took advantage of the situation and ran for it. Oh God no this couldn't be happening! This could not be happening! I couldn't let them return Tyler and I to my aunt and uncle! If only I had thought to bring the fake documents with me today!
I had no idea where I was going and ran into a dead end. I heard a police siren right behind me. Oh crap. They had back up. I looked around for any means of escape. The wall was too high for me to jump over safely with Tyler. The police had me cornered in. I couldn't let them catch me though. Tyler and I would be killed if we were sent back to my aunt and uncle. I couldn't tell the police the police that though because I had no proof. They'd just think that I was crazy.
My mind was made up quickly. I was going to get out of here. I ran faster than I ever had before and jumped over the police cars that had trapped me in. They looked at me in astonishment. Even I was surprised by how high I had jumped. As soon as my feet hit the ground I took off running again.
"Hold it!"
I wasn't going to stop though.
"Stop it right now!"
I looked back quickly and saw two police officers not to far behind me. I tripped and stumbled. I grabbed the fence beside me and steadied myself. Unfortunately that slowed me down enough for the police to catch up on me. One of them yanked Tyler away from me. The other grabbed my hands and handcuffed me.
"Renesmee Baker you're under arrest for assaulting an officer, fleeing an officer, and refusing to comply with an officer's orders, and child endangerment,"
"Child endangerment? What the hell are you talking about?"
"Fleeing from an officer with a child in your custody is child endangerment. If you would've just went with us to the police station we would have just sent you back to Kentucky. But now you have serious charges against you,"
"No officer you can't arrest me. My son needs me,"
"Your son will be placed with social services until your family comes to retrieve him,"
"No!"
I felt distraught and barely registered what they were saying as my rights were being read to me. As I was forced into the back of the patrol car I saw something strange out in my peripheral vision. A huge wolf with reddish brown fur. He disappeared as quickly as he had appeared.
