Hey guys. I have been advised to change my rating of this story to M because of language and sexual references. Please know that I will not be using a lot of language and I will only be mentioning sexual references in future chapters and they will not be in detail.

Also please excuse any mistakes I make about workouts in this chapter. I am not a physiotherapist so I do not know to extent what goes on in rehab but I am doing my best.

Enjoy

SKIP THREE MONTHS AHEAD

RPOV

Three months have passed since Jacob and I started going out and things have been going smoothly. Mr Jenson has been sitting in on a couple of our gym sessions and he has told me that I am doing remarkably well with my recovery. The things I have achieved would take more than just 9 months. I was ready to try walking, with help of course.

Jacob has shown me the Gait Harness System, a walking frame that I will be using to help me start taking my first steps.

Today is open family day. It means that family of the patient can come in for the whole day and see how we are coping. Today is a big day for me. My whole family will be coming today, minus my cousins, and will be staying and observing how Jacob and I spend our days. First they will come and join us for breakfast. Then they will come down to the gym and watch us then we will be heading to the pool. We will be the only ones in there as each family gets one hour to themselves. So the family has been advised to bring their swimming suites and they can join in and help out with me today.

Jacob and I have been doing very well. We have been following Mr Jenson's rules and only kissing in the privacy of my room. Both Jacob and I have told each other of our past relationships; mine being none and Jacob's only being one. I was insanely happy that Jacob and I could give ourselves to each other completely. We have talked about our physical relationship and have both agreed to not take it further than kisses and light touching until I have recovered enough that moving around did not cause me pain.

That suited us both perfect and Betty has caught us kissing in my room too many times to count.

It was 9am and Jacob and I were both waiting by the front doors for my family. I could not wait to see them, having only spent a few hours with them over the past week. Once they arrived and hugs were given all around we headed into the dining hall.

Breakfast was a happy affair. The family told me what has been happening at home and they were extremely happy and excited to know that I would be starting to walk today and that they could be here to witness it.

After breakfast we headed down to the gym. The gym was very large so a few families could be in there and we would still have a lot of space. Once we got down there and situated, Jacob started explaining what we were going to do.

"Ok guys. As you know we are going to try Nessie to take a few steps today. This is the Gait Harness System. It's a fairly new machine. As you guys can see it is a fairly simple device. These cushions on the top allow her to rest comfortably on the top if she needs a break or rest. We will strap Nessie in with these buckles. They will hold her up slightly so she will not have to put all her weight on her legs when she is walking. Right now we will just be taking a few steps at a time and then we will rest. Edward, if you want to help me that would be great. We will get her strapped in and when she needs to rest we will hold her up a little bit so she can rest her legs. If you and Emmett can please lift her from the wheelchair and we will get her strapped in"

Dad and Uncle Emmett came over and helped me out of the wheelchair. They carried me over to the walking helper and Jacob got me strapped in. He adjusted a few things then looked straight at me.

"You ok sweetheart?" he asked me looking into my eyes. I nodded at him that I was comfortable.

It felt weird. Over the past few months I have been able to feel my legs a little bit but I was nervous to start walking on them. Dad was right next to me holding my hand when I took my first step.

I could only shuffle my feet, moving maybe an inch at a time but it felt incredible. I started crying, happiness bursting through my chest at the fact that I was doing it. I would have to take a rest every few steps and it took about 30 minutes to make it ten metres but I was happy. When Jacob declared that we will rest for a while they unclipped me and dad picked me up. I started sobbing into his chest and instead of placing me back in my wheelchair he sat in it instead holding me to his chest. After a few minutes I felt multiple arms surround me and whispers of joy and love were heard. My family kept telling me that they were so proud of me.

After a while Jacob announced that we will head down to the pool. Dad stood up and placed me back in the wheelchair but before anybody could move towards the doors, Jacob came over and crouched down in front of me.

"I am so proud of you baby" he leaned in and gave me a soft kiss. I smiled back at him and then we were off to the pool. We split up, going into our respective change rooms to get into our swimmers. Mum helped me into my bikini and then wheeled me out. All of the men were already changed and were waiting for us. Once again Jacob started explaining what we will be doing.

"Ok guys. If everybody could get into the water, that would be great. This pool is specially made so I am able to wheel Renesmee slowly into the water until it is up to her chest. From there if one of you could come and help her out of her wheelchair, that would be fantastic. All we are going to do today is bob in the water for a while and then we are going to help Nessie extend her legs until they are touching the bottom. The great thing about water is that it can take all the weight off her legs but still allow her to move. This will be a bit more difficult than the harness because water is harder to walk through. But if someone can be holding onto her the whole time we will be fine"

As soon as Jacob finished telling everyone what to do, Uncle Emmett and Uncle Jasper pushed my dad into the pool. They then jumped in after him and started wrestling until the woman told them to stop. It was quite funny watching them hang their heads in shame before they moved towards the edge, helping their wives into the pool. Jacob wheeled me over to the ramp and started descending down it. The pool was heated so it wasn't a shock when the water touched me body.

Once the water was up to my chest, Jacob put the brakes on and I was surprised when my grandpa Carlisle came over to help me. Grandpa and Grandma had my dad at 19 so they were not old. Grandpa is incredibly fit, going to the gym with dad and Uncle Emmett most days.

"Hello sweetheart. I thought I would get in on the fun" he winked at me, making me laugh.

We had a brilliant time in the pool, bobbing around and having fun. After a while I started getting tired so Jacob and I sat on the bench that was submerged at the end of the pool. My family had started a game of water polo and it was very entertaining watching them fight over the ball.

"How are you going beautiful?" Jacob asked, taking my hand.

"I'm doing great. I am so glad my family could be here for this. I have missed them so much" I smiled at him and he leaned in for a kiss. Just before his lips touched mine we were covered in water.

"Just cause you guys are together doesn't mean we need to see it" my dad yelled at us, making us all laugh.

Our hour was up and we all got changed to go have afternoon tea in the garden. My family would have to leave soon so we were going to spend the remainder of the day in the garden. Jacob went back to his room to give us some privacy but soon returned to say goodbye to my family.

My parents hugged me hard, telling me that they will be back tomorrow and I cried watching them go.

"It's ok baby. With the way you're going, you will be out of here and back home in no time"

I smiled up at him, finally feeling like things were going my way
