Recap: And he would be pushed out of the picture...

"Momma! Higher!" Everyone was outside. Bella and Renesmee were below deck on the swings, while Jacob watched from the patio. Edward came out to join him moments later.
"Higher?" Bella asked.
"Funny watching them isn't it. They look so much alike."
"Yes." Jacob remarked, keeping his eye sight on Renesmee.
"Jacob I can't thank you enough for taking care of Nessie while we were away."
"It's not a problem."
"No, I really think that you deserve a huge thank you. We couldn't have trusted her to anyone else. Thank you so much."
"Your welcome." Jacob decided against arguing again. Sinking deeper into the chair he watched as Edward joined the two below him. They were..a family in which he was not a part.

Renesmee was growing like a weed. She now had the body of a pre-teen. Edward and Bella had been on Isle Esme with Renesmee and Jacob for two weeks.
"Oh they grow up so fast." Bella remembered Esme chiding when they had the family on the phone.
"So when do we get to see the little rugrat again?" Emmett teased.
"I'm not a rugrat Emmett." There was a pregnant silence as the Cullen family took in her new voice.
"Look who told you." Rosalie laughed, soon joined by the rest of the clan.
"We'll be returning home soon." Edward announced. Jacob inwardly cringed.
"Is the dog still there?"
"Rosalie his name is Jacob!" Renesmee corrected. "And he's my best friend so stop it!" Bella smiled like a proud parent at Renesmee. Rosalie was silent for the rest of the conversation.

"What do you want to do today princess?" Edward asked.
"Can we...go to the beach?"
"Surely. Your mother's been dying to go anyways."
"Just a step ahead of you dear." Bella walked past Edward, already suited up in a number that he found quite the turn on, "Use the right head Edward. We'll see you later." Renesmee giggled and raced her Mother to the sandy shoreline.

"Wow." Jacob snickered, looking up from his book.
"Have fun?" You wanted to tap that.
"Of course I did." Both men chuckled. "Jacob are you ok? You seem more..reserved these days."
"Yeah. Fine."
"You know you can talk to us right?"
"Sure, sure." He mumbled.
"Jacob, what's bothering you?"
"It's nothing." He closed the book and pushed it back onto the shelf where it was cradled between "Wuthering Heights", and "Romeo and Juliet".
"You feel left out don't you?"
"Nah, it's cool."
"I'm really sorry about that Jacob. I know Bella feels the same way. But..we've only got a little time left before she'll be yours..forever. I mean it feels like I wasn't even a Dad that long. She just...matured so fast on all of us. Jacob, just be patient a little while longer. You'll see. She won't be treating you the same. Promise. Just give us this time."
"I know. I've just missed the time that I used to spend with her. She never calls for me or anything anymore."
"She still wants you in her life you know. She misses how close you guys were. And part of me is upset at myself for coming here so soon and ruining that for you two."
"That's not your fault Edward. And don't tell Bella that's how you feel. I'd never hear the end of it." Again they laughed together before slowly walking to join the girls on the beach.
"Jake!" Renesmee called, as soon as the man was in sight. She ran to him and picked her up swinging her around lightly. Edward gave him a look that seemed to say I-told-you-so. Jacob only smiled and set his daughter down. "Are you coming in the water with me?"
"Don't think so squirt."
"Awwww..." She pouted lightly and Jacob looked at Edward who nodded.
"I mean but for you..I guess I could."
"Yes!" She pumped a fist and ran, "Race ya."
"Cheater!" Jake yelled from behind her.
"Hey Jake."
"Hi Bells." He called back as he ran by. She curled an eyebrow and lifted her sunglasses "What on Earth?"
"Hello love."
"Hi Edward. What's Jake doing?"
"Swimming."
"In his boxers?"
"She can't tell the difference."
"Mhm."
"Oh, Bella stop being the skepticle parent. They're fine."
"I know I just...we don't have her for that much longer." He pulled his wife into his lap and inhaled her scent.
"I know darling. I love you."
"I love you too." They went in for a kiss.
"Aw! C'mon you two, in front of the kid?" Jake laughed, jokingly covering Renesmee's eyes.
"Jake! I'm not little anymore!"
"Yeah, sure sure."
"Humph, meanie." She pouted.
"Typicaly pre-teen." He smiled.
"What Jake you don't remeber being a pain in the ass?" Bella joked.
"Bella language in front of your daughter!" Jacob reminded. Edward even looked a little shocked.
"Oops. Sorry." Everyone broke out laughing.
