I woke up but kept my eyes closed, and my breathing even so that I could wait and see what was going on. But I found it next to impossible when I felt the pain that my leg was in, it wasn't as bad as before, but it was bad enough to cause some uncomfortable pangs in my calf. Another reason why I abandoned the idea was because everyone who was speaking was speaking fifty miles a minute and I could barely decipher anything that they were saying, but somehow I knew it was about me. When I recognized my Aunt Alice's voice I realized that they must be explaining what had happened today, to her.

I heard the click-clacking of heels on the white granite floor, it was coming towards me. I shifted my weight, it would look natural because the new sound stood out from the normal silence that had been before. The person paused and sighed, yep, it was Alice. She began walking towards me again, this time I stayed still and in a few moments she hesitantly sat on the blanket-bed next to me. She caressed my cheek as she always did when trying to comfort me, "Oh sweetie," she sighed, "What are we going to do with that meddlesome mutt of yours?" but the way she said it kept me from getting mad, Alice was the only one in the family besides my mom who felt genuinely close to Jake in a friend relationship, the others were just worried that he was going to hurt me. I knew she was going to touch my face again, so I remembered a dream about Jake that I had dreamt a few nights ago it had been a real memory though. She gasped in a small breath as she watched. We were laying in our meadow, one completely separate from my parent's. The view of the dream was like a sliver screen movie, you saw both me and Jake laying there, the moonlight shining on our different colors of skin and defining our features. Jake was shirtless, but that's how I generally saw him, he never wore a shirt because of the heat that radiated off of his skin, he would just be uncomfortable with it on.

He leaned over and twisted his finger around one of my stray curls for a moment before tucking it back behind my ear, I sighed my encouragement. "I love you, so much." I sighed.

"You have absolutely no idea as to how much I feel for you." he whispered into my ear, wrapping his arms around my waist.

I smiled and opened my eyes to look at him,"I think I have an inkling."

The sounds of the night were peaceful, a stream trickled closeby and it calmed me. Jacob turned to face me, a new light in his eye. "No, I mean it, I really love you Renesmee." he caressed my cheek with the tips of his fingers, it caused a rippling shiver to flow down my spine. He smiled at me, he looked phenomenal.

He kissed my collarbone gently, "I love you." he whispered into my neck, then he kissed a fiery trail up my jawline and just under my ear.

He pulled back so that he could look at me, I stared into his eyes, "Me too, Jake." with that he tangled his fingers into my hair, "You smell so good." he murmured into it. He kissed my temple, then my lips.

Of course it started out slow and innocent, but there was no denying the chemistry between me and Jacob Black, the kiss deepened and he gently grazed my lower lip with his tongue. But then after a few seconds, it ended. It never went far, I wasn't ready for that yet, we were taking our relationship one day at a time. We went back to just looking into each other's eyes, and then I let the memory become hazy and fogged as I yawned. Alice pulled her hand away from my cheek and I heard the swoosh of air she left behind as she stood up and ran quietly to the other end of the room, showing my dad what I had shown her in her own thoughts. I grunted as she ended just at the same time that I had allegedly just woke up. I stared up at him for a moment with my big, brown, doe eyes, "Hi daddy."

He was by my side in an instant,"How are you honey?" he asked me, concern in every word he spoke.

I stretched my arms and found that a brace was on my hand and wrist, it hurt when I stretched it but I bit back the yell of pain, "I'm fine, considering..."

"No need to talk about it if you don't want to sweetie." my mother whispered from the other side of my little mattress, I turned to face her. Innocently I asked, "Where's Jacob?"

Dad let out an annoyed breath, "The first person you ask for is Jacob?"

"Yes." I answered stubbornly.

There was a knock on the door, my dad had a dazed look for a moment. After a few seconds of silence in the great room he looked at my mother, "It's Charlie." but I knew that he had only said that alloud for my benefit, of course she could tell who it was without being told by anyone.

"Let him come." she said.

When dad got up to go answer the door my mom picked up the baby blanket on the top of the bed and threw it over the seat on the couch. She laid me there and pulled an afghan over my legs, "The less he knows, the better. We'll say you've been playing baseball all day and sprained your leg." she turned on the tv to a popular music station and gave me a throw pillow to lie my head on, just before Edward answered the door she had returned from taking the other blankets and pillows upstairs to where they belonged and she situated herself next to me so that Charlie couldn't sit there and feel my cast through the afghan.

My dad opened the door, "Hey Charlie! Good to see you!" he was a very good actor, only moments before he had been really upset.

"Dad, what brings you here?" Bella asked, sounding pleasantly surprised. She wasn't as convincing as my dad, but it would do.

"I wanted to see my grandbaby, is she here?" he said hopefully, peering around Dad to see if I was in here.

The smile that erupted on my face was genuine, I didn't have to act when it came to Charlie. "There's my girl!" he beamed when he caught sight of me on the couch.

"Here I am!" I trilled, throwing my arms above my head in jazz hands.

He chuckled, "Where's Jake today?" he asked me.

Charlie had long since gotten over the strangeness of our other world, he had peiced most of the clues together and now the family knew that Charlie knew they were vampires, he didn't come out and say it, and neither did they, but it was evident that it was known. The day he had finally been confirmed of it was when he had rested his head on my mom's shoulder and had not heard a heartbeat, that did it for him. Lucky enough for me though, he knew I wasn't adopted, he had figured that out too, it made him happy that he was my biological grandfather. "Are you sure that your kind can have children?" he had asked my mother, her response had been,"I hadn't changed yet dad." and he had shook his head,"What a strange world I live in."

He also had figured out that our family, Jacob included, was done maturing. We were never going to get any older. Jacob had fully come out and told Charlie that we weren't going to, he said that it was a need-to-know thing and that he would have to accept it, or we would move away. Charlie knew that we would be leaving in a year or two, so he spent as much time around here as he could. Many a night you would find his porch light off and his cruiser not in the driveway because he was here with us, absorbing every memory he could make in such a short time.

"Jake's, well, where is Jacob?" I asked my mom.

She looked at Charlie,"Jake went for a walk." she said.

"Ah, that's nice." he said absentmindedly, he was more comfortable when Jacob wasn't here, because that meant that he could have my undivided attention, and he wouldn't have to see his best friend's twenty seven year old son give me the googley eyes, even though physically and mentally Jacob was still sixteen and a half. It was the age that he always insisted upon, when I was older we would acknowledge his real age rather than just his physical age.

"What happened to you Ness? You look like crap."

"Thanks Grandpa." I muttered.

His expression melted, "I didn't mean it that way honey, you just look tired..." he was staring at my leg, I readjusted the blankets to cover myself up.

"Nothing." I muttered at the same time Alice said, "Jake broke her leg."

In a moment Charlie's face was purple and he was on his feet, "Where is that bastard?" he bellowed.

"Thanks Alice, what happened to the baseball story?" I heard my dad mutter to her.

In a flash my mom was across the room and had her hands on Charlie's shoulders, "I told you Dad, he went for a walk. It was an accident." I glared at Alice.

"Well, technically it was Jacob, Jasper, and Emmett that did it. But don't worry Charlie, you can't do anything that you would regret, right?" she beamed.

"Unfortunately." he mumbled under his breath angrily.

..............[.......]..............

It was after dark, no one was in the living room with me, they had left me alone to sleep. Of course I wouldn't sleep, not until Jacob was home.

My Jacob.

How many times had he been there for me? How many times had I seen his smile and fallen in love all ovr again? Jacob was always there for me and he always listened to my opinion. Watching home movies together, going bowling with each other, holding hands on the beach. My mother was an idiot when she chose my dad over Jake, not that I didn't love my dad, but come on! Who wouldn't pick Jake over him?

There was a knock on the door, I sighed, he was back.

He didn't wait for me to answer it, he always knocked to let me know he was coming though. He knew I would be awake, waiting for him.

"Renesmee?" he whispered.

I looked to the door but I couldn't see him, "I'm here." I called to him.

"Shh, I don't want anyone to know what's going on."

"Oh, okay."

Suddenly I saw him kneeling down next to me, "Do you trust me?" he asked.

"Sure I do." I whispered, I hoped he would kiss me.

"I'm being serious, Renesmee, do you trust me completely? If you could leave your life in anyone's hands-"

"It would be yours." I interrupted him, "You already know that."

He smiled at me in the moonlight, "I'm going to blindfold you okay? But I promise you don't have to move."

Before I could answer I felt a scarf being put over my eyes, I could feel it being tied behind my head, I never once felt Jake leave my side. But I did hear the strike of a match. I wasn't alarmed though, I knew Jake would take care of me.

Not a moment later I felt the fabric being pulled from my eyes, so I closed them.

I heard a low chuckle, "Open your eyes Nessie."

I did as he said, and gasped at what I saw, candles were everywhere, there must have been hundreds of them everywhere. Had he put them there while I was sleeping? No, that was impossible. "How - " I asked.

"Alice, Rose." he said.

I nodded, that was completely believeable.

"You know I love you Renesmee, right?"

"Yes." I breathed.

He took my hands in his, "You understand that I want to be here for you forever, right?"

I nodded my head, what was all this about?

My eyes followed his hand, Oh my God is he on one knee? I looked into his eyes in utter shock.

Jacob took one of his hands from mine and reached into his pocket, I was beside myself with joy. "Renesmee Carlie Cullen, I love you with every inch of my being, every beat of my heart is for you. I know it sounds completely corny, but it's true in our case. I could never, ever cheat on you or even look at another woman the way I look at you. No scratch that, no other woman could make me feel the way I feel about you. When you walk into a room I can feel it, when you look at me I feel butterflies in the pit of my stomach. I've fallen in love with the way you say my name, your laugh, the way you treat your mother and your father, the way you light up when Charlie enters the room, I love how you've accepted me for who I am and that you love my brothers as well, I love you for you. Renesmee I want to spend the rest of my life with you, until the moment we die, if we ever die. I will keep phasing to be with you, until the very second you are gone. Renesmee, I want you forever, if you'll have me. Renesmee Carlie Cullen would you do me the honor of being my wife?"

I couldn't breathe, I couldn't speak, I would have thought that I was numb if I couldn't feel Jacob's hands in mine. I sighed, "Jacob Black, do you think that I would ever marry you?"

His shoulder's slumped, but before he would break down I corrected myself, "Jake, do you think that I could ever not love you enough to marry you? But you see, my dad is pretty old fashioned and he may want you to ask him first."

"Oh well, that's not necessary." he said.

I raised my brow, "Oh really now?"

"Yeah, 'cause I already asked him and he said yes."

"What?" I managed to say.

Jake rolled his eyes, "He. Said. Yes."

I smiled, "Then so do I."

He gathered me into his arms, "I love you."

"I love you too." I mumbled into his hair.

I guess you could say that the dress we had picked up earlier was never worn to our prom, it was worn to our wedding.
