Chapter 16: In Big Trouble

Renesmee's POV

Nobody moved or said anything. I laid there just waiting for the torrent that would soon follow the awkward silence.

"Um, Hi" I said awkwardly. I was surprised that I could still talk after all the screaming I did yesterday.

Everybody's eyes were focused on me again.

Then it started "Just what the hell have you been doing all night?!" my human father shouted.

"I've been with Jake-" I had started to say before he cut me off

"Yes we all see that, why is it that you two are barely clothed?! What were you two doing last night when we were all worried sick about you?!" he shouted.

"Nothing, I swear" I said sounding like a scared child.

"Then why are you two almost naked?!" This time it was my vampire father who asked question.

Oh joy! Most teenage girls only have to deal with one obsessively overprotective father, but no, not me! I'm cursed with two fathers to discipline me.

"Well, Jacob said that this was the best way for me to warm up-"

"Of course Jacob would make something up like that" he growled. Both of my fathers looked pissed now. My mothers did too, but they still had yet to say anything.

"I did not make that up. It's a known fact" Jacob said defensively.

"Yeah right, known fact" he said.

That's when Carlisle stepped in "actually he's right. The best way to warm up fast is to take your clothes off. And I'm sure that Jacob's body temperature helped a lot" he said.

"Well, I'm sure the mutt happily exploited that fact" vampire dad said.

"Well I don't care about that! I know I sure was exploiting the view of him almost nak-" I put a hand over my mouth as I realized what I just admitted in front of everyone. I closed my eyes so I didn't have to see everyone staring at me. Oh god! I could feel everybody's eyes on me.

"You what?!" my brother shouted. Oh great! I forgot about my brother! I have two extremely overprotective fathers and one extremely overprotective older brother! Why me?! Why?!

"Nothing" I responded. I really just wanted act like I hadn't said that out loud.

"Jacob come with me now!" I heard vampire dad shout. I could feel Jacob moving around behind me as he got up. I opened my eyes and watched him leave with both of my dads and my brother. I felt bad for Jacob, for the predicament that I had accidentally put him in. The idea of him dealing with two fathers, and one brother scared me a little. It's a good thing that Jacob can morph into a giant dog to protect himself. He would only have to worry about my vampire father that way.

The less hostile members of my familes remained behind.

"Just what were you thinking?!" vampire mom shouted. Well, I thought that they'd be less hostile.

"Jacob saw Ryan kissing me and then phased into a wolf and took off. I hurt him and I just couldn't leave things that way between him and I so I went after him. It took me a really long time to find him and by then it wasn't safe to go home anymore because of the rain" I said.

"Well that was very stupid of you?! Don't you know how worried we were all?!" human mom shouted.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cause such panic" I said.

"You had us all scared half to death!" human mom shouted.

"What happened last night?" I asked.

"When we noticed that you were gone we asked your boyfriend where you were. He said that he didn't know, only that you had gone to look for Jacob" she said. "We gave him hell for just letting you leave like that" she said.

I felt bad for Ryan. It was all my fault that he had gotten in trouble with my family.

"when we realized that you weren't coming back we got really worried. That's when we got the Cullens involved. We were sure that they would be just as worried as us and they could help us look for you. It was a good thing too, we had almost forgotten about their abnormally strong sense of smell" she said.

I giggled. I suppose the knowledge of what the Cullens are capable of doing would take a lot of getting used to.

"Well, I am sorry. I really didn't mean to cause such panic, and I swear nothing, absolutely nothing happened between Jake and I last night" I said loudly enough for my fathers and brothers to hear.

"Nessie, just don't ever scare us like that again. We thought you were dead for 12 years, we just got you back. We don't want to lose you again" vampire mom said. The rest of my vampire relatives nodded in agreement.

"I promise I won't" I said.

"You are still in a lot of trouble though. You understand that, right?" human mom said.

"Yes, I understand" I said.

"You're in trouble with us too" vampire mom said.

I sighed "I understand" I said again. It's both a blessing and a curse to have two sets of parents that care about you so much.

Then Carlisle asked "What happened to your wheelchair?"

Uh oh, I was really hoping that nobody would ask that question. I didn't want to tell anyone about how I was almost accidentally run over last night. This would only make things worse for me. I suppose it was a feeble hope though, after all they would be wondering why I didn't have one anymore.

I took a deep breath as I prepared to tell them. "Well, I was crossing the street last night while it was raining. The wheelchair got caught on a crack and tipped over. A car came and was going way too fast and didn't see me. I would have been hit if Jacob hadn't pulled me out of the way and took me to safety. That's how I lost the chair" I explained.

Everyone was staring intensely at me again.

"You were almost hit by a car?!" everyone shouted at the same time.

"Yes" I said.

"Don't ever go out on your own again! Not while you are in this chair! Do you understand?!" both moms shouted. It was deafening.

"Yes I understand" I said for the millionth time.

Jacob came back in, along with my fathers and brother. I couldn't tell what had happened. Only that both of my dads still looked very upset.

In the end I was grounded for three months. I suppose it was a fair punishment. After all I put them through hell. Carlisle carried me to his car. He wanted to take me back to his office to check me out and make sure that I was okay.

I loved that my grandfather cared so much about me. It assured me that nothing had changed over the past 12 years. They all still loved me, despite thinking that I was dead, only to discover what I had done so many years after.

He examined me very thoroughly. He looked concerned.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I think you caught pneumonia. How are you feeling?" he asked.

"I'm feeling okay right now" I said.

"It looks like it's in the early stages. That's good we can treat it before it gets worse" he said. He gave me some medicine to take.

"You're back is looking great too by the way. I think you should be regaining movement any day now" he said.

"That's good, I'm so tired of being wheelchair bound, and being dependent on others" I said thinking of how my family had to help me get redressed earlier.

"You'll be as good as new" he said.

"I can't wait to get back on my motorcycle again" I said. My bike had recently been repaired.

He looked alarmed now. "What? You want to get back on that death contraption after what happened?" he asked.

"My dad always said that there are only two types of riders in this world, those that have been down, and those that are going down" I said.

He sighed "Oh Nessie, sometimes I really worry about you"
