Dusk
The bonfire was ready and it was begining to get dark. The sky was a combination of a hazy purple and a pumpkin orange while Jacob stood in the woods near the Cullen's meadow. Jacob's nerves were running high and his heart was beating faster than normal(for a werewolf). For the first time since Jacob found out about his destiny as a werewolf did he feel hot. Too hot. He started pacing. He started pacing fast. Because in literal sense he'd never been on a date. Sure he had that crush on Bella however all the times they were together none of them was ever an official date.
"Jacob?" the sing-song voice came from just infront of him. " Are you trying to build a moat around the house?" Bella asked. She was making fun of him. Jacob looked down and saw that he was standing in a miniature hole in the ground from where he had been pacing.
"Calm down Jacob. I know your nervous but...why don't you just come inside and wait on her instead of in the freezing cold?" Eventhough Bella was still like a sister to him, one couldn't help but notice that she did tend to be more motherly now. It was strange to think that his best friend was a mother now. Not only that but the mother of his beloved. He had to admit it was strange and if he could go back in time and tell himself that there was someone more important than Bella, he would never have believed it. It just made it worse Jacob that it was her daughter.
"You know the cold doesn't phase me anymore Bella," he replied, "but I will come inside." taking her arm they strolled into the house together. Jacob now remembered those strolls on the beach before Edward came back, before Renesmee, and before Bella's vampirism. Jacob owed a lot to Bella. If it wasn't for her he might never have had Renesmee. Bella was always there for him. There relationshp was just misunderstood in the begining. But now he could truely appreciate Bella for who she really was: his best friend. They walked throught the door and Bella called for her daughter.
This was is, Jacob thought, This is what I've been waiting for for six years. Reality struck him by surprise. He had known all day what was coming but suddenly with the light sound of Renesmee's feet approaching the butterflies began to well up in his stomach and a lump began to form in his throat. Before he could blink Renesmee was in full view and she had never looked so beautiful. Jacob tried to force down the lump in his throat but was stubborn and only became bigger. The butterflies threatened to break free.
"Hello Jacob," the angel spoke. Her smile captivating him. He was hers no question about it. No matter what happened wheather she refused him tonight or not he belonged to her. Finally Jacob got enough control to speak. Trying to keep his cool Jacob said "Hey Nessa. You look nice." You look nice, he thought how much more lame can you get Jacob? STUPID! His face winced with his self humiliation.
"Jacob, Edward and I are leaving for the evening don't have Renesmee out too late. ok?" Bella asked. She gave him a smile with a slight wink that followed.
Jacob nodded in
response never taking his eyes off Nessa. "So are you ready?"
his tone sounded as if he were bored. It couldn't get any worse. His
first date in his life and already he was screwing it up.
"Be careful," Edward warned while kissing his daughter on the forehead. "We'll be back before you wake up ok?" Bella stroked her daughter's face.
With that they were gone. Running through the forest hand in hand. Nothing could be better than this moment. At the same moment, they turned their heads to look at each other with trees whirring past them. Renesmee blushed while Jacob gave her a triumphant smile. The instance only last for a split second but each one of them saw it. They slowed doen to a halt while proceeding out to the cliff that looked over the ocean.
"Jacob! Nessa! You alomost missed the fun!" Quil said picking litte Renesmee up into a bear hug. It was the anniversary of the pack's first take down: Laurent. Once again they would tell all the legends and myths. This would be how Renesmee would know the truth. The pack greeted them. Then once everyone had settled down, Billy told their story.
After the telling of the tale, the boys started acting like...well, boys. Jumping up and down screaming their superiority, and trying to prove one was better than the other. However Jacob and Renesmee began to walk back towards the woods.
"Hey Jacob, where you going? Don't tell me your going back to them are you?" Paul laughed.
"We'll be back I swear then I can show you who the real wolf in the family is." Jacob was challenging him. Two years ago Paul and Rachel decided to make it official and got hitched. So now Paul and Jacob were real family.
"Your on, little brother." Paul was having too much fun now but Jacob didn't care. The only thing in the world that matter was her and the moment at hand. While walking into the woods to a little clearing full of wildflowers, Jacob wouldn't have noticed if armagedon had come. This was his moment and nothing would change that.
"So thats why Paul so drawn to your sister. And why Quil is always with that little girl. I can't believe I never noticed it before." Renesmee giggled. She was amazed with all she had just discovered. Since she could remember she has always been fascinated with Jacob's world but now...she had the knowledge with double the questions.
Jacob placed his hand on hers feeling that tingling sensation ripping through his very soul while cupping her face in the other. This was it the moment he had been waiting for. He stared at her straight in the eye and saw her innocent eyes stare back at him. Locked in sight Jacob responned,"That's why I am so drawn to you."
Her eyes widenedin realization. Her wildest dreams were coming true. Could this possibly be it? She had read all the classic romanace novels but none of them could compare with her story. With her heart beating in unison with Jacob's she listened to him continue on. " Since before you were born it has always been you. When you were young I wanted nothing but your happiness, and now that your grown all I can think about is having you with me forever." He was begging for her acceptance praying that this fantasy would not become a nightmare.
"Jacob," she began bedazzled, "In my life I have never loved anyone else. I've always belonged to you." A single tear fell upon her cheek.
Their hearts were beating in time creating their own love song and then as if on cue their lips met for the first time.
Nearby Seth Clearwater watched with envious eyes as his best friend kissed the love of his life.
