I'm doing this chapter a little bit earlier than I wanted to, but I couldn't think of anything to fill the void. My brain is malfunctioning lately. I should have it checked out. Ha!

Chapter Three - Unexpected
Jacob had arrived soon after my dress fitting has finished. I felt like hunting with Jacob, but the truth was, I thought he was changing. I knew that he couldn't but still. After he proposed, he didn't want me around him when he phased. Like there was something he was hiding from me. I knew that if I just asked him, he'd have to tell me, but I sort of didn't want to know. If there was a secret, he'd tell me anyway.
I found out soon enough though. At least I thought I had found out. Two days, that's all it had taken for my Uncle Seth to call back. Momma called a family meeting after talking to him.
We all gathered around the table. It was a close fit, but I decided to sit on Jacob's lap. That way there wouldn't be two extra chairs added to the table, that already seemed crowded.
Momma looked around at Jacob and I, sighing. There was something that was going to be either very happy or very sad.
"I talked to Seth. He called a couple of days ago. He heard Renesemee's," her eyes shot at me. I had the feeling as if I was in trouble. "voice mail. 'Renesmee Black'. Bah! You'll always be a Cullen. I would wish you to keep our name."
I rolled my eyes. I was tense. I had a lot of things to do for the wedding still. Aunt Alice said that she'd help, only after being threatened by Daddy. Jacob could feel my tenseness and put his hands on my shoulders and started to massage them. It relaxed me a little bit.
"What's wrong with him knowing?" I asked. My voice trying to remain steady. I didn't dare yell at her. It would come soon, if she didn't...
Daddy looked at me. He seemed pretty mad. "Stop it right now Renesmee."
Dammit! Scolded. Wish you couldn't read minds, old man.
I knew I'd be in even more trouble for that one, but it made me giggle.
"There is no problem, particularly. We're going to have visitors soon. Seth told Leah, who told Sue, who told Charlie, who told Billy, who told Rachel, who told Paul, who told the rest of the pack."
She said it all in one word. It was pretty amazing, but she was my mom. She had to have been amazing. Even if she was a pain in the ass of a mother sometimes. Gah! Daddy liked to shoot mad glances at me when I thought about stuff like that. I normally just shrugged it off.
"Who is coming then?" Jacob sounded slightly surprised. I didn't think that I blamed him. But I also didn't think that this was the first time he had heard.
"Charlie, Billy, Sue, and Seth." I didn't see how this was a problem.
I touched Jacob's face. I remembered the first time that I had met my grandfather. It was many years ago. It seemed like ages, centuries even. Growing up at an accelerated rate, was not the best thing most times. He would think that I were only almost eight, but I would be immortal now. Stuck at the literal age of seven, even though I was more around the age of twenty.
"I know that there are some people in the room, that do not see this a problem." Daddy eyed me as I finished my thought. "He knows about Jacob, but he has not yet guessed about us. He doesn't know about Renesmee. We haven't aged one bit."
Ah, that would be a little bit of a problem. I had been the only one that was aging -- again at an accelerated rate. I sort of forgot about that. Whoops.
"When are they coming?" I asked trying to sound nonchalant.
Jacob started to rub my shoulders. He and I both began to see pictures of the lot. It scared me.
"What the hell was that?" Jacob asked as the pictures faded. I jumped off his lap.
"I...you...Momma?"
Jacob stood up and pointed a finger at me. His face torn between shock and anger. His body started to shake. I knew what this meant. I knew what he had seen.
"You...kissed Nahuel when he was here in November?"
I felt a little bit of blood rush to my cheeks. This was the thing that I was keeping from everyone, and now they all knew. Normally I could just show people what I wanted them to see, but I couldn't control it when I didn't know what was happening.
Daddy, Momma, and the rest of my family stared at me. Momma's jaw had dropped. Daddy's eyes were like a bug's. I couldn't be in the room anymore. I had to get out of there. I was a disappointment.
"You cheated on me with a wild man?"
"Well, no..." I said walking toward the other room. "It was more like a peck."
"That's not what I saw, Renesmee."
"Jacob!" Momma called after him when I ran out of the room. She could see him shaking. He was probably about to launch himself at me. I ran as fast as I could up the stairs. I needed to lock the door and stay away from Jacob. Until he stopped this madness at least.
Really bad and short chapter. The brain malfunction isn't a good thing. Please give me some ideas or esle you proabably won't get updates as much as usual. Remember the more reviews, the quicker the update...hopefully. So, R&R. Fersure. :D
