Ok something big is about to happen in the next chapter but I didn't want to rush into it. So until then enjoy chapter 4!!!!

Bella's POV

- - - - - - - - -

I watched Edward's face as he hunted. I hadn't seen him that upset in a long time. He seemed more relaxed now but it seemed as if his face had settled into a permanent scowl. No matter what facial expression he had, he was still the most beautiful man I had ever met. Finally he noticed me staring at him and grinned.

"Bella, don't you think we're too old for you to be checking me out."

Oh he thought he was so cool well let's see, "Actually Edward I was thinking about my hot biker boyfriend. He's coming to pick me up later in fact."

He fake growled and then raced over to me. When he stopped in front of me, he locked his lips onto mine and kissed me passionately. Finally he pulled away and said, "Do ya think he can kiss like that though?"

I laughed and said, "Nah, I think I'm stuck with you then. Darn I better cancel that date then….."

We started walking down to the lake, hand in hand. He looked deep in thought, no doubt thinking about Jake and Renesmee. Finally he opened his mouth, as to say something but then closed it again. I decided that I should start this conversation then.

"Ok Edward. Look, I know you are still upset about that, but I think you're blowing this a little bit out of proportion." We sat down next to the water, I leaned in and he held me in his arms so I looked up at his face. His face darkened but then he spoke.

"God Bella! I know he doesn't see her like that yet but still. That's our baby he was holding. She's still too young for that stuff. I know I'm being protective but isn't that what I'm supposed to be doing?"

"Yes I get it. This isn't really about the whole couch thing then is it?" He shook his head and looked like he was 5 years old. A really cute 5 year old though…..

"No I guess not. I love Nes- I mean Renesmee so much. I hate the thought of her being with Jacob so soon. She's ours, not his!"

"Edward please look at me. Jacob does have some claim on her also. Imagine how Charlie felt when I started spending all my time with you. I think you are a little jealous mixed in with the feeling that she's growing up so quickly."

He seemed so upset so I gave him a quick peck on the lips before he spoke again. "Shit Bella. I know, we only get to be parents for so short of a time. I feel like we've been cheated……I don't know."

I understood what he was saying. Those were the same thoughts that had been bouncing through my head for the past month or two. "Well if we spend the time left with worrying about it, then we are wasting it. We need to take one day at a time and enjoy it with her. Ok?"

He thought about it for a millisecond and then said, "That's exactly what we need to do. You're right."

"Haha aren't I always Edward?"

He chuckled and said, "Yes every time love." We sat for some time just staring at the lake and watching the stars before deciding to head back. As we approached the house we could hear Jacob wolfing down his food (pun intended). Edward immediately tensed so I gave him a small glare.

I opened the door and saw Esme. She looked at Edward worriedly so I told her, "He's fine. We went to hunt and he got his aggrevation out."

She looked relieved, "Ok good good. Jacob's eating, Renesmee is asleep upstairs, Alice and Jasper are still out at the mall, Rose is upstairs and Emmett is in the living room.

"Oh did Emmett say he was mad at Edward? Um he got a little mad at Emmett and ended up cracking a stereo over his head……"

Esme laughed to herself and thought about what had happened after Bella and Edward went hunting.

FLASHBACK

Emmett: Running to Rosalie he starts screaming, "Edward just hurt me. Kiss my boo-boo to make it better!"

Rosalie: "Geez Emmett, go grow up. Maybe I should hit you with a stereo too so you'll butch up a little…."

Emmett starts running away, dry sobbing. He accidentally bumps into Esme who is cleaning the kitchen. She opens her arms and Emmett starts crying into her shoulder.

Esme: "Emmett what happened dear?"

Emmett: "Edward hurt me *sob* and Rosalie is a meanie- im upset mommy."

Esme silently laughs to herself and pulls him away. "Emmett do you want me to go yell at Rosalie?"

Sniffling Emmett replies, "Yes please."

Running upstairs she goes into Rose and Emmett's room, locks the door and starts laughing hysterically with Rosalie.

END OF FLASHBACK!

Edward starts laughing but then grabs my hand and walks into the living room. Lying there is Emmett holding a melted ice bag to his head. He looks like he's about 7 years old but hey,……its Emmett.

Edward finally starts to speak, "Look Emmett. I'm sorry about the whole stereo thing, its just that the comment hit a sore spot with me."

Emmett pouts his bottom lip- a really obnoxious look on him and exclaims, "Its about time. Fine I forgive you big brother." I start laughing and Emmett just glares.

Edward also laughs but he has something to say, " What's that?" He pointed to Emmett's ice bag.

"Its an ice bag for my head cuz it hurt…..duh!"

Hahaha he needed an ice bag. Edward replies, " You do realize that its melted because your head is cooler than the ice?"

Emmett pulls the bag down, stares at it, and starts looking sheepish. "Well, um I've had it there awhile…ya know?"

I say, "Uh huh. Whatever you say Emmett." He glances away and runs upstairs to Rose. Oh gosh not again!

Edward POV

- - - - - - - - -

As Emmett ran upstairs I turn to see Jacob chuckling in the doorway. I straighten up and Bella grabs my hand and un-shields herself.

"Edward, be careful. He's done nothing wrong here………"

I give her a knowing glance and Jacob sees something is up. As he sits down he looks like he knows he is about to be reprimanded.

I just sigh and turn to him, "Look Jake. I saw you two on the couch today and just want to check up on something……nothing has changed with your imprinting yet has it?"

Yes, that was a very calm and classy way to put it. Out of the corner of my eye I see Bella smile. He looks a bit embarrassed and quickly stutters out….

"Oh no! Nothing has changed at all I swear! I don't even know what happened at all. Seriously nothing is going on at all."

I check his mind and he's thinking about how awkward this is. Serves the mongrel right. Ok calm it down Edward. Calm it down.

Bella says, "Its okay Jacob. These things happen, we just want to be the first to know if anything changes."

Jacob turns, "I know the rules Bella. Nothing will go on without your permission. After Bella calmed down about Jake's imprinting thing we decided on some ground rules. Firstly, he was to tell us when he realized he saw her as a girlfriend, not best friend. Secondly, he couldn't tell her about imprinting. Thirdly, Renesmee is to make the first move, not he. He can't spaz and tell her he loves her when before she returns the affection. Finally, he is never to pressure her into anything.

I say, "Ok ok. Well that's taken care of so your interrogation is over. You can go run away now like you are thinking."

He is definitely embarrassed now that I read his mind.- He says, " Ok I um need to go eat some more…..um yeah bye." With that he ran to the kitchen so Esme could cook him dinner.

Jacob POV

- - - - - - - -

Ok wow. That was one of the most embarrassing, awkward, and weird conversations of my life. I think I'd rather have my toes cut off than repeat that……

"Don't worry Jacob, trust me it was like that for us too," Edward calls out from the den. Damn I hate it when he reads my mind like that.

"Now Jake, you know that's just a part of your life now", he calls out again. JEEZ EDWARD CAN YOU LAY OFF READING MY MIND FOR ONCE!!!!!! I screamed in my thoughts.

I hear Edward laugh and Bella yell/ whisper- " Edward! That's rude and you know it!"

Haha Bella's on my side! Sucker! Hahahahahaha I think. He growls so I know he's heard me but he leaves it alone.

Wow I'm getting really tired. I thank Esme for the lasagna and then run up to bed. As I pass Nessie's door I crack it and peek in. She's smiling as she sleeps and turns over. She's always been a peaceful sleeper. As I close the door carefully as not to wake her I run into Jasper.

Laughing he says, "I felt strong feelings of protectiveness and love so I decided to come check it out."

Great, yet another Cullen joke on me. "Jeez, one minute my mind is being read, the next my emotions are being monitored!"

Suddenly my anger melts away as I begin to smile. Wait a friggen minute, "Jasper stop that."

As he walks away he grins at me and says, "Stop what?" Oh he knows very well what but whatever…….I walk away and almost slam my door until I remember sleeping Ness. Whatever. After a quick call to check in on Billy I'm ready to hit the sack.

As I turn off the lights I think about holding Renesmee on the couch this afternoon. No she's my best friend. Wait!, stop it Jake!

Then Edward walks past my door, opens it a crack and whispers in, "Yes, stop it Jake."

UGH THAT STUPID BLOODSUCKER!!!!!!!! I roll over, push the pillow over my head and try to fall asleep.

How did you like it....? PLEASE REVIEW it makes me soo happy and i need that right now
