Jacob POV

- - - - - - - -

I was standing in the forest, in a clearing of flowers and sunlight. I just stood there, waiting for something, someone. It felt as if there were 100 steel chains pulling me to the approaching object, but I decided not to move.

I waited patiently for the grabbing person to appear. And when she did I smiled broadly. My Nessie was running towards me, her face glowing. I opened my arms, inviting her to a hug.

And then I woke up as my body slammed against the cold, cave wall. Damn, that happens too often. As I sat up I wanted to rip my own head off. The pain of missing Renesmee resurfaced, different but somehow stronger. No dream of mine had ever been that excruciating; never hurt that badly.

Sam was listening to my thoughts and tried to distract me from my misery….

"Jacob I have good news. In fact, its amazing actually!!!!," he thought out to me. I scanned his grinning wolfy face.

"I just sent Paul, Embry, and Quil to spy on the other pack. They overhead the leader saying they only had 5 wolves left. Today we are going to launch a final attack." he thought.

Wait, he just said final attack. I quickly asked, "Wait. Does that mean we are leaving soon?"

He half -shouted in his mind, "Tonight actually."

Oh…..my……yes! I sprang up and did a little happy dance. Of course everybody laughed at me but I didn't care a bit. Tonight I would get to see Renesmee again. After 13 long months I would be re-united with my best friend.

My heart did a weird thump as I thought her name. That's strange……..

I walked over to Sam and we bent over the maps we had so crudely made of the landscape………

TWO HOURS LATER!

This was it. The final battle would start in about 5 minutes. Sam and I had planned for about two hours with the strategy. If I was extremely lucky, I'd be back home at about 8:00.

Sam turned to me and nodded.

"LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED!" I yelled, so everyone could hear me. That's all it took for our large groups to run into our enemy's camp.

I fought ferociously, showing no mercy. They were the reason I wasn't home, the reason I couldn't be with my family. And for that I hated them with a passion.

For 30 minutes we all attacked as the defending pack fought back with a dying cause. Everyone knew what would happen, that we would beat them. As the last wolf tried to jump me I spun around with a snarl.

Sam, Embry, Paul, Quil, and I fought him until the only thing left was his bloody corpse.

I turned around to face the pack, a smile forming on my face. I realized it was over, my sentence in hell was finally complete. Without hiding, I hurriedly phased in front of them all.

"Eew Jake! I sooo didn't need to see all of that. I think I'm going to have to shoot my brain out now," Leah yelled at me. Whatever, like she hadn't seen our stuff before.

Turning to the pack I quickly said, "Okay I'm leaving. I'm sorry for the rush but I need to go back home. If you need anything, call me. I'll miss all of you."

"Yeah right. He'll forget all about us once he's hugging Renesmee," Paul thought. The sad part was it was the truth.

I ran to the cave, quickly threw my things into my travel bags and started running to the airport. I bought the last ticket for a flight to Seattle from Ontario, and there I would fly into Salem and then just run home.

The flights were unbearable. Sitting on the planes for 4 hours with nothing to do just gave me time to get more anxious of returning home. Home= beautiful Renesmee.

Something felt different when I thought about her today though. Instead of just thinking about talking to her and seeing my best friend, I couldn't wait to hold her in my arms. For some reason I just wanted to kiss her head and hug her forever.

Hold up man. I had to snap out of this before I saw her or Edward would kill me before our hello. Finally the flight landed in Salem Regional Airport. I ran to the front of the plane before most of the people even un-buckled their seatbelts.

I power walked out of the plane and into the luggage pick-up area. Stupid workers couldn't unload the baggage from the airplane fast enough. To pass the time I decided to check my cell phone.

Surprisingly there was one missed call from this morning. Looking, the caller ID read Alice Cullen. Oh, maybe she saw my arrival. I started playing the voicemail that she left.

"Jacob- hey its Alice! Um I had a vision you would be coming in tonight so I decided to call you. I hope you remembered that its Renesmee's final birthday today and we are celebrating tonight at 6:00.

I've planned a HUGE dance and tons of our friends have already shown up. Here's the deal: If you do come home I've left you a tuxedo outside in the guest house. When/if you show up, go and get changed, and then come to the backyard- you can't miss the tent.

I haven't told anybody that you were supposed to return in case you end up not being able to so don't worry about it. Ok I know that's a long voicemail but I had a lot to say.

Well hopefully I'll see you this evening, if not I miss you Jake! See you soon……"

Holy shit! Renesmee's last birthday. I'm such an idiot for totally blanking about it. I can't believe I forgot about it. We've discussed this since she was a toddler and I might miss it. There was no way in hell I was going to let that happen.

6:30 my watch read. If I really hurry I think I can make it. BEEP BEEP!, the buzzer for the luggage carousel rang out, indicating the start of the conveyor belt. I ran up to the front of the line and grabbed my 2 bags.

Sprinting out of the airport, I ran to the woods across the street to phase. I knew a backway to the house so I slung my suitcases over my back and the started running home.

I was running so fast, I couldn't make out individual trees. Soon the Cullen property came into view. My heart was beating so fast, I was sure it was going to just explode by now.

It was 7:00. I reached the guest house but I heard the party going on around back. Some weird Eminem song was playing- a million bucks on Emmett for picking that one. As I bounded into the room I found a pile of AXE body wash and sprays along with the tux.

Hey I figured you would need to take a shower before coming out. I doubt Renesmee will want to hug a stinky Jacob.

xoxoxo Alice

I had to give some serious props to the vampire. She did think of everything. Grabbing the soap I sprinting into the bathroom and took the shortest shower possible.

I quickly dried off and tried to figure out how to put the tuxedo on. I hadn't worn one in forever…..actually the last time was at Bella's wedding.

And for the first time that memory didn't bring up bad thoughts for me. I actually am glad that happened because without the honeymoon, I wouldn't have Ness.

I think I put it on right. I ran back to the mirror to try to dry my thick hair some more. I finally just decided to run some gel through it and go with it.

7:15. Yes! I made it. I started to run out of the guest house but then I remembered that I didn't want to mess up how I looked. I heard a DJ announce a slow dance. Oh if Renesmee is dancing with another guy I will personally rip his head right off.

Wait, she's just your best friend. You don't own her or anything Jake. Just chill out.

I opened the tent and walked in. The first thing I saw was my beautiful Nessie standing next to a table. Her golden brown curls were hanging down her back and she was wearing a short blue dress. Oh my god her legs were tan and long…..LOOK AWAY JAKE!

I couldn't think that stuff here, Edward was around me now. My eyes were locked to her swaying form, her head was tilted down. I finally got right behind her and tried to resist the urge of wrapping my arms around her little body.

I put my hand on her shoulder and said, "What? Nobody wants to dance with the prettiest girl here?"

It was like slow motion as she slowly turned, her hair swishing around. I gasped- she was so beautiful. No longer was the face of my teenage best friend. Instead it was replaced by the model face of a woman. She had grown up, and in the process reached perfection.

I lost myself in her eyes, I couldn't look away for a few moments. Finally I snapped out of it when she said,

"Oh My God. You……are……finally…….here!" she said, her voice filled with excitement but astonishment.

" I've missed you," I softly whispered.

I held out my arms and she grabbed me. This was the hug I had been imagining for 13 months, the girl I'd wanted to talk to since the day I left. I held her so close, my head in her hair.

She lifted her head up to me, tears were running down her face. She was still so glorious when she cried.

"Oh come on. I know I'm not that cute but seriously, do I repulse you that badly?" I joked to bring her sprits up.

She started laughing and wiped her eyes. "Haha you have no idea."

A new song came on, Crazier by Taylor Swift. I knew Taylor was one of her favorite singers and I really wanted to dance with her so I asked,

" Do you think you can get past my ugliness and dance with me?" I said boldly but unsure of myself.

She pulled away and grinned brightly, "I think it could be possible….."

She held my hand and together we walked to the dance floor. As I put my hands around her waist, she placed hers on my shoulder. She held on close to me, putting her face in the crook of my neck.

I am the happiest guy here. Feeling her next to me spun my head in a million different directions. This felt so good, so true. I never wanted to let my Renesmee go.

I didn't believe I could be so lucky as to be dancing with perfection herself.

Renesmee POV

- - - - - - - - - -

I was finally dancing with my Jacob. When I saw him, I got this feeling nobody could ever explain in a million years. The pain vanished, replaced by extreme euphoria. When he touched me, my heart did a jolt thing.

I stood there a long time, my body against Jacob's, his warmth permeating through my frame. it seemed so right, like somehow, fate meant for me to fit perfectly with him

And then……….

It hit me like a million tons of bricks. I gasped as it finally became so clear to me. I was made for him, and he for me. Jake had always been there for me, and this was why. As I lifted my head to look him in the eyes, I knew.

I was in love with Jacob Black.

A quick glance at my father's stunned face proved to me that I wasn't imagining this. He pulled my mom's startled form out the door.

Jacob was watching them too, silently chuckling to himself. I saw his eyes wander over my gleaming face. Finally the they stopped when he came to my eyes. We danced, just staring into each other, faces unmoving.

This was it. The world seemed to come into perfect alignment, right then, right there.

I began to pull us out of our trance, "Jacob. My Jake. I--can't believe you are finally here with me. I've missed you more than you could ever know."

I stopped to gather my thoughts before continuing, "And seeing you here, finally dancing with you, I t-think something's different. I feel as if, this, us, is right." I ran my eyes over our entwined bodies as I spoke.

"Jake, I…think….I'm…..in…..love…..with…..you." When I said it, I knew it was true. The reality of it finally set it.

Finally I brought my eyes to his. His jaw had dropped, yet his eyes shone so bright, it caught me off-guard.

And suddenly his lips were crushing mine like a tidal wave. His kiss was rough, but so full of love I couldn't think about anything but him. He pressed my body closer to him as he fiercely kissed me.

The tent ceiling above us opened up as we kissed under the moonlight. He brought one of his hands up to my face, gently cradling it. We were so passionate, so bold. I felt like I would faint from the greatness of it all.

As the song ended we came up for air. He whispered in my ear, "I love you more."

And those four words seemed to be like fireworks in my sky. Those four words made all the difference. Those four words meant more than anything ever could've before. It mean

he loved me too. That somehow I knew I would spend the rest of my life with him.

My lips found a way back to his, almost like magnets. My body surged with emotion as our mouths fit together so perfectly. Then I was aware of the song ending. I rested my head against Jacob's shoulder, my arms still wrapped around his strong frame.

And then I saw Uncle Emmett run over to us to begin the string of innuendos sure to come in the future.

"It seems as if the birthday girl got a puppy for her present. Better not try to drink this one Ness!" he joked.

I didn't think it was funny, apparently Aunt Rosalie didn't either because half of my birthday cake was flying through the air. Jacob shielded his body in front of mine as pieces of cake ricocheted off Emmett's back.

He just laughed at Aunt Rose and pulled her in for a kiss. Seems like a lot of us were going to be doing that tonight.

Jake turned to me with a smile on his warm lips. I brushed the side of his face, carefully rubbing some icing off. I licked it and got a little sugar rush combined with the pure joy of being with Jacob.

He grabbed my hand in his stronger, bigger one and said, "Let's go take a walk outside."

I smiled, I could barely speak after looking in his eyes. I looked at Aunt Alice for approval and she nodded yes. She was laughing at us with Uncle Jasper who seemed to want to grab her and make a run for it. All this love was probably driving him crazy.

When we got outside I shivered a bit. Jacob gently put his muscular arm around me and I was instantly warmed. I leaned in to his chest and he pulled me closer.

"Why don't we go to our lake," he suggested.

"Sound like a plan to me as long as you don't throw me in again," I said with a laugh as I remembered our innocent fun a year ago.

We walked there in silence, not needing to talk because no words would describe what we both felt. Finally we got there, and we sat with our backs against a log.

I put my head on his shoulder, my curls falling around us. He started to talk as we just gazed at each other.

"I think I owe you an explanation of sorts," he said with a small grin.

"For what?" I asked him, confused.

"For basically jumping you on the dance floor," he said sheepishly. I just smiled at him back.

"Let me explain something to you Ness. There's this thing that a few werewolves go through, its called imprinting." he said quietly.

Aha! That's what Mom was talking about, I knew it was important.

"Imprinting is this thing when a werewolf finds his soul mate. I know it sounds a little creepy but you have to let me explain. The first time he sees her, he feels like he's bound to her, connected in an indescribable way.

She is his perfect match- the one he is destined to be with forever. In some cases, he meets her when they are all grown up, other times, when she is just a child.

If she's too young for him to see her that way then he doesn't feel that way towards her. He will be like a big brother, her guardian for a long time.

She will be his best friend, and feel like she can trust him with anything. As she gets older things will change, she might get a crush and then he will change too. Eventually they will get together."

Whoah. This was like insane, yet it was a perfect explanation for everything. He kept talking about imprinting….

"That's how it is with you. When I saw you for the first time, I knew that you were it. I didn't see you in a weird perverted way, I was just drawn to you.

And I've waited for you to grow up, I've always been here for you. But obviously you have grown up since I've left. You are gorgeous and wonderful now, you aren't a little girl anymore." his voice dropped off as he ran his hand through his hair.

I was beaming at him, my face so lit up, this was amazing news. It explained the way I felt like I was being pulled to him, the way I always had an urge to be near him and tell him everything.

He looked down as he said, "And now, I just can't stop looking at you. This has changed from since I left. Now I really know that I want you, and love you more than anybody ever.

I thought my heart was going to explode from pure joy. I whispered, "I feel the exact same way….."

And with that he lightly kissed me again. It was different this time, not so urgent or rushed, soft and gentle. Filled with as much love and feeling that a kiss is able to hold.

Yes. This was definitely the best day of my life.

I wrote so much of this because I have a muse. I know that sounds retarded but when I talk to him, I can write a lot faster and better. So you guys should thank him……that is if I ever told anyone who it is.

REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!!! I live for that shit, to quote a movie I forgot the name of. Lol thanks for reading!
