Bella retrieves her cell phone from her jeans pocket and dials Jacob's number. The decision to
keep he and Renesemee apart was a mutual one between her and Edward. They both agreed
that absorbing her existence as a half human-half vampire was enough for Renesemee to have
to deal with for the time being without being thrown head first into the "by the way the wolf
imprinted on you at hours old and you're destined to be his soulmate" scenario. So, Bella
and Edward decided for their daughter's sanity to try and let things progress in a relationship
between her and Jacob as normally as possible. So far, things had not been progressing
positively at all- Jake just kind of irritated Nessie the same way he used to irritate Bella. It
was the hope of the family though that, with more time around him and Jacob being his oh-so
charming self, Renesemee would come to love him and everything would be right in their world
once more. "The caller you are trying to reach is outside the service area". "That's strange",
Bella said, "It's telling me Jacob has left his service area. Where could he be?" "Yeah", says
Alice,"and I think I know why- everything just went blank. I think he's on his way here". "Why
would Jacob be coming here?", Edward asks. "I don't know, Nessie maybe?", Alice replies.
Suddenly there was a loud pounding on the door of the cabin. "Looks like we're about to find
out", Bella said as she started for the door.
"Hello Bella", Jacob says, standing in the doorway, covered in snow and pine needles in a tank top
and shorts. "What brings you to Canada, Jake? Boredom, or stalking as usual", Bella turns from
the door, clearly not amused. She wanted Jacob seeing Renesemee to be on her turf on her terms,
not an impromptu meeting like this. "I thought you'd be thrilled to see me, apparently I was wrong,
actually, I need to speak to Edward". "What about Jacob?", Edward asked, becoming concerned.
Jacob never wanted to speak privately with Edward unless something was wrong that he didn't want
to have to reveal to everyone else himself. "Can we go somewhere more private for a moment?",
Jake asked, "It's important, I think". Edward and Jacob leave the room and Alice begins to
concentrate, hoping once it enters Edward's mind she can get some clips and previews.
"Eavesdropping is very rude Aunt Alice", Renesemee said as she sauntered down the stairs
carelessly. "Who is Daddy talking to, I thought I heard a familiar voice". "Jacob is here, said he
had something important to say, he thinks", Alice said,"Can't imagine what, which is why I'm
trying to eavesdrop, thank you". "Well, whatever it is, I can't see why he couldn't wait a few more
hours and give us time to get home", Bella is still not pleased. "How could he possibly know we
were going to be home in a few hours Mom? Why don't you want Jacob around anymore, I thought
you two used to be really great friends or something. What happened?", Renesemee prods her
mother for a response, which she is clearly not going to get any better this time around than the
thousand other times she has asked. So, Renesemee turns on her heel and stalks back upstairs
to pack her bags. "I'll be up in a minute to help you Renes", and BAM, Bella is cut off by the
slamming door. "Was I such a difficult teenager Alice, I honestly can't remember anymore".
"No, Bells, you were far worse", Alice replies, stiffling a giggle that Bella joins in on. The wind from
the front door opening chills them all. Edward enters with Jacob on his heels. Edward speaks first
"Ladies, we apparently have some guests waiting on us when we return home to Forks".
