Chapter 7- Who brought the human?

Renesmee's POV

Alice sat next to Jasper, Rose next to Emmett, Bella next to Esme, and Carlisle at the head of the table. Edward was pacing. Back and forth, back and forth. Everyone around the giant mahogany table glared at me. Their topaz eyes feeling like fire on my skin. Rose was the worst.

Edward had tried to break the news gently to the rest of the family. A human had not been in their house in seven years. The last one had come had decided to stay forever, Bella. They all radiated nervousness. They hadn't had to act like humans in so long. Except for Carlisle, who still worked at the hospital and had to work with humans. They all knew what to do but were not happy with me.

"Why didn't you warn me? I have to get changed, c'mon Jasper. You too," Alice leapt from her seat and ran from the room with a grudging Jasper in tow.

Rose stood gracefully from her chair and smiled slowly at me, "Have fun with your little friend. Emmett and I are going to our house until she leaves. The last human in our house was a pain. I'd rather not meet another one."

Everyone chuckled softly and watched the couple leave the room. Bella crossed her arms and pouted, "I wasn't a pain! I was just a human!" Edward smiled warmly at his wife and looked back to me.

"Renesmee, I think I smell your friend. You should mention to her that she shouldn't wear such a strong perfume. In passing of course," Edward says to me and starts to walk to the manor door. At the moment he arrives, the doorbell rings.

The look on Gwen's face is priceless. Her eyes run everywhere as fast as they can. Trying to process everything they can. When her eyes land on Edward she sways slightly. She's dazzled! I thought Bella was just joking about that! But there Gwen is swaying and smiling fondly at my father! My Dad! Her expression becomes overwhelmed quickly though.

I skip over to Edward's side and smile at Gwen, "Hi, Gwen! I'm so glad you could come! Please, please come inside!" Gwen smiles gratefully at me and steps past Edward. I loop my arm through hers and pull her to living room where most my family has assembled around the television. Rose and Emmett are still absent. They must be sticking to their plan. Too bad, Emmett would love Gwen.

"Gwen, I would love for you to meet my family," Carlisle stood and moved forward to shake Gwen's hand. He is a smooth operator. "This is Dr. Carlisle Cullen, my adopted father." Gwen shakes his hand and steps back quickly. Esme stands after and steps forward. Her motherly smile is radiating. "This is my adopted mother, Esme Cullen." Esme hugs Gwen softly and sits back down next to Carlisle.

"And I'm Alice. Alice Whitlock, Renesmee's adopted sister!" Alice jumps up from the couch and launches herself into Gwen's still open arms. "It is great to meet one of her school friends! I was beginning to think you were a figment of her vivid imagination!" Alice laughs in her melodic voice. She steps back out of Gwen's arms and gestures for Jasper to stand.

"Good afternoon ma'am, I am Jasper Whitlock, Alice's husband and Renesmee's adopted brother," Jasper smiles at Gwen and considers what he said and shakes his head. "Before Renesmee was adopted I and my sister Rosalie lived here with the Cullens. Right after she was adopted I and Alice were wed. I hope that makes more sense," Jasper sits back down at the couch and pulls Alice away from Gwen and onto the couch,

I glance at Gwen whose mouth has dropped a little by all the introductions. I smile at her encouragingly. She smiles back and closes her mouth.

"I am Edward Cullen and this is my wife Bella. We are Renesmee's siblings. She was adopted later than us. I think you have had enough introductions for today, why don't you two go down to the cottage?" Edward introduces her. I nod and pull Gwen out of the house.

"I'm sorry, Gwen! I had no idea they would pull out the family tree on you! It is easier to just remember that we are all adopted by the Doctor and his wife. Are you alright?" I look as Gwen's smile slowly fades.

"I'm fine…just overwhelmed…there are so many of them! I'll be fine…but wow! Your brothers…wow!" Gwen pants.

"Oh, you'll get used to them. They are just a little full of themselves. Besides, how was school?" I ask Gwen as she gawks at the cottage we are approaching.

"Wow, this house is just perfect! It is so cute! Do you live here?" Gwen races toward the cottage and stops short. "Oh! Hello?" Gwen says worriedly to a figure in the shadow.

"Jacob? What are you doing here?" I ask him as he steps toward me out of the shadows. He smiles gratefully and passes Gwen without a glance.

"I came to see you. How was school?" Jake hugs me lightly. He smells like the woods.

"School was fine, I had pizza for lunch," I made a disgusted face, Jake laughs loudly and moves a piece of hair out of my face.

"Renesmee? Are we going inside?" Gwen calls worriedly to me from the doorway of the cottage. I glance over at her and nod motioning for her to go inside.

"I'm sorry, Jake; I have to go with Gwen. You remember Gwen don't you? I invited her over and I am being rude just standing out here with her inside."

A bloodcurdling shriek rang from inside the cottage. I ran with Jacob at my side into the cottage. Gwen stood outside my parent's closet with a look of ecstasy on her shining face.

"Is…this….your…CLOSET?" Gwen screamed at me when she saw me at her side. I shake my head.

"It's Bella's, why?" I don't see what Gwen is so happy about. They're clothes. Clothes Bella probably never wears.

"This closet is amazing, Renesmee! Four of my closets could fit in here…with my bedroom attached! This is amazing! How come you don't borrow any of her clothes? You could rule Forks High! Is that Prada I see? Oh my gosh! Holy crow!" Gwen is screaming so much her face is pink. How interesting…they are just clothes.

"Hey, Gwen, how about we stop screaming? My family can probably hear you from the manor," I suggest naturally. Of course they can hear her. My ears hurt from being so close to her. My poor half-vamp ears…so sensitive…Gwen looks at me and gestures wildly to the clothes.

"How can you not be psyched to have a closet near you like this? I would die if I were you!" Gwen screams at me for my nonchalance. I shrug and smile. Clothes mean too much to her. They go in out of fashion all the time. They are just clothes. Ha. I can't die for clothes or anything. Ha. Lucky girl I am.

I manage to tear Gwen away from Bella's closet and show her the rest of the cottage. She doesn't show as much emotion as she did with the rest of the cottage. I don't blame her. I guess the closet is pretty amazing. Anything Alice does usually is.

Gwen doesn't mind Jacob's presence. Jacob just seems to watch us as we move through the house. He doesn't comment much. He always has a smile on his face though. When our eyes meet a wave of joy washes over me, it is an incredible feeling.

In a few hours Gwen starts to notice Jacob's presence.

"So Jacob how's school?" Gwen asks shyly. I've never heard her sound shy. Jacob is beautiful but he is nothing to be shy about. Jacob smiles and sadly takes his eyes from mine.

"I dropped out of school a few years ago, actually. I just hang out with my friends during the day. How's school going for you though?" Jacob says politely.

"Good, but it is going so much better for our little Renesmee! She made a lunch date with Skylar today!" Gwen cheers happily. I feel the confusion from Jacob's eyes wash over me. We never said we were together but I guess it was just an unspoken agreement. I shoot a dagger glare at Gwen who immediately stops cheering and doing her happy dance.

"What? C'mon Renesmee! Be happy! The last time Skylar had lunch with a girl was his last girlfriend! I wouldn't be surprised if he asked you out tomorrow! We will be so popular!" Gwen goes into a dream like state and slumps into the nearest chair

I don't have the courage to look up at Jacob. He just came into my life. I had things going on. I cant stop them for him. No matter how much I love him. Right?

Jacob's POV

I want to phase right now. Scare that chirpy little friend of Nessie's away. Nessie is mine. Mine. Not this Skyward or whatever his name is. My vision is turning a hint of red. I need to get out of here.

While Nessie glares at her friend I make my way outside and phase.

"Is that really the safest thing to do, Jacob?" Edward asks me when he comes up to the cottage and sees me. I grunt. If he had heard that little girl talking he would have lost control and killed her. At least I came outside and phased to release my anger.

"Skylar. Is that who she was talking about?" Edward asks me in his annoyingly calm voice. He hasn't changed a bit. Still a falsetto-suave leech.

"You haven't changed either, Jacob. We're still the same age as we were the last time we met. Only Bella has really changed," Edward reasons with me. I'm going to go phase, leech. Stay here? Edward nods and sits on the ground.

I phase to my tortured human self. Edward hasn't moved from the ground. "I do love her, leech. But her human side is driving me crazy. And when I say human side, I mean that girl. It is like she is flaunting then your daughter is wanted by all!" Edward doesn't nod he just gets up and goes into his house.

That was weird. I hope it was something I said. I follow him inside and see Gwen and Renesmee talking to Edward.

"Thank you for coming over today, Gwen. We must have you come over again. But tonight we have to go to dinner with the Swan's," Edward lies easily to the girl. She is noticeably sad but nods and grabs her coat. I move out of the way as she leaves. We don't say anything to each other.
