Wow. 25 chapters. Still with me guys? Haha, hope you haven't gotten bored yet! Thanks so much for sticking with this story, I'm having so much fun writing it, and your reviews just make it so much better.

A few quick notes: 1) Bold is Jacob, Italic is Nessie and Underlined is Emmett (you'll see what I mean) 2) I know Vampires don't eat or drink anything, but I feel like Emmett would have a beer or two just for the heck of it 3)Are y'all familiar with 100 Monkeys? They are an awesome band, that has unfortunately broken up now, but Jackson Rathbone was in it & I actually did get to see them in concert. Thought it might be fun if the two worlds collided.

R&R pleeease, and sadly, I don't actually own Twilight ;)

Chapter 25: The Bachelor & Bachelorette

Renesmee was awakened by the sound of feet running up the stairs followed quickly by a tapping at the door. She closed her eyes and lay her head back down on Jacob's chest. She wanted sleep. Actually, she just didn't want to ruin the moment she and Jacob were having as they slept soundly in her bed together. Either way though, the constant tapping was ruining it.

The tapping stopped only to be replaced by a jiggling of the door handle. Renesmee smiled when she realized Jacob had locked it when he had come in a few hours ago. She looked down at her fiancé, who was still asleep. She wondered how long it would take before the noise at the door woke him. As it turns out, not long. For at that moment, Alice's shrill voice came through the door. "Renesmee, Jacob, wake up!"

Jacob groaned, "No."

Renesmee giggled as he opened his sleepy eyes to look up at her. She kissed his lips quickly, before they heard Alice call, "Yes!"

"Maybe if we're really really quiet, she'll go away," he grinned mischievously.

"I will not go away!" Alice shouted determinedly. "I have to get your fiancee ready for her bachelorette party. You two are lucky I waited this long!" The young couple laughed when they heard the tiny vampire stomp her foot in frustration. "Open this door right now!"

"No!" Jacob shouted, laughing as he did.

"Jacob Black, do not make me knock this door down. You know I'll do it!" she shouted back at him.

Renesmee looked down at him. "She will you know. She's done it before when I locked myself in."

"Fine," Jacob groaned as Renesmee rolled off him and sat cross legged on her bed. He went to unlock the door and said over his shoulder, "Your aunt is certifiably crazy, do you know that?"

"Been there, done that, Wolf Boy," Alice said with a dismissive wave of her hand as she entered the room. "Now leave so I can get Renesmee ready and you can go get your house ready for the bachelor party tonight."

"So," Jacob said from the doorway, "what am I supposed to do for this thing again?"

"Actually, not much. Esme and I got everything ready while you guys were asleep," Alice called from where she was already rummaging through Renesmee's closet. "So all you have to do is go home and wait for your guests to arrive."

Jacob moved to go, but Renesmee jumped up and grabbed his hand, pulling him back into her room. She was in the middle of kissing him when Alice came out with an outfit draped over her arm. "Enough of that! Save it for the honeymoon," she said as she pulled them apart. "Go home, you'll see her tomorrow," she grinned as she pushed Jacob out the door and shut it, locking it behind him. She turned back to her niece. "We have a party to get to!"

~The Bachelorette~

"So where are you taking me?" Renesmee asked as she climbed in the backseat of her aunt's yellow porsche beside her mother and Esme.

"Well," Rosalie began, twisting around in the passenger seat to face her niece, an excited grin on her face.

"Rose, don't you dare!" Alice commanded as she drove out their driveway. "I want it to be a surprise."

Renesmee groaned. She hated surprises, and her aunt knew it, yet Alice still insisted on planning them for her. "Don't give me that," Alice laughed lightly, looking at her niece in the review mirror. "You're going to love it, and you'll figure it out soon enough."

Renesmee's mind raced with ideas as they drove out of Forks. Where could her aunts possibly be taking her? Suddenly, she had a horrible thought. "No strippers!" she cried, sitting up straight. Everyone turned to look at her, even Alice glanced over her shoulder in confusion, shocked by her sudden loud outburst. Renesmee sank back down in her seat again, somewhat embarrassed, her cheeks blooming with color. "Jacob and I promised each other."

Every woman in the car began to laugh. Rosalie turned and patted Renesmee's knee. "No strippers, Princess. I promise."

"If there were, I guarantee you I would not have brought your grandmother and your mother along," Alice laughed. Esme and Bella laughed too.

Renesmee smiled, greatly amused by the thought of her mother ever entering a strip club. "Then where are we going?"

"There's Seattle in the distance," Rosalie motioned to the window. "We're going there. Happy?"

Renesmee sighed dramatically. "I wish I knew what we were going to do in Seattle, but I guess it'll do for now."

~The Bachelor~

Jacob was working on a 1965 Rambler in his garage while he waited for the guys to show up. He had recently ordered some parts for the old car, and once he had finished fixing it up, he planned on selling it. Working on cars, or anything with an engine for that matter, was what Jacob loved doing best. It was about time he started making money off of it though, because if he didn't, he wouldn't be able to afford to keep up the hobby. He rolled under the car to take a look, when suddenly he heard, "Hey Jake!"

Quil's voice startled him and he hit his head on something metal beneath the car. Quil, Seth, Embry, Jared, and Sam all tried to hide their smiles as they heard Jacob let lose a list of profanities as he rolled out from underneath the old car. "You ok, man?" Seth asked with a chuckle as Jacob stood and gingerly touched his forehead. It was bleeding, but the cut was almost completely healed. Quil and Embry lost it. They laughed until they were tackled to the ground by the groom to be, and Seth joined in for the fun of it.

Paul chose that moment to arrive and Sam shook his hand in greeting. "What'd I miss?"

"Not much," Sam shrugged as they watched the four men wrestle each other on the ground. "Want a beer?"

"Yeah," Paul nodded as the two headed into the house.

~The Bachelorette~

Alice pulled into a gravel parking lot behind the House of Blues in Seattle. Renesmee squealed. "The House of Blues? We're going to the House of Blues? I've always wanted to come here!"

"We know," Esme laughed as they got out of the car and headed towards the door. "But this is only half of your surprise."

"Guess who's playing here tonight?" Bella smiled at her daughter.

Renesmee stopped dead in her tracks. "You didn't," she grinned, looking at her aunts, her grandmother, and her mother's excited faces. The laughter that sparkled in their eyes as they watched her figure it all out was all the answer Renesmee needed. "We're seeing 100 Monkeys?"

"100 Monkeys!" Rosalie laughed throwing an arm around her niece's shoulders.

"And," Alice said whipping out five tickets from her purse, "yours truly snagged VIP tickets, which includes early entry, sound check party, and free merchandise!"

Renesmee squealed again and snatched a ticket from her aunt, she and Alice both running towards the entrance.

~The Bachelor~

Jacob and the rest of the pack were in the small kitchen with a beer each and a poker game spread out across the table, when suddenly, they all fell quiet. A sickeningly sweet smell filled the air, and Jacob forced a smile onto his face as he looked at the tense spirit warriors surrounding him. "Guess the rest of the guests are here," he said as he got up and headed towards the front door. Please please please let this go well! he thought as he opened the door to his home as wide as it would go.

His worst enemy turned future father-in-law greeted him with a smile on his face. "Don't worry Jacob," he said, clapping him on the shoulder. "We promise to be good."

"Speak for yourself, Eddie," Emmett laughed as he, Carlisle, and Jasper followed Edward into the house.

Before heading back into the kitchen, Jacob cleared his throat, "Hey Jasper?"

"Yes, Jacob?" Jasper said, turning around to face him.

Everyone else was in the kitchen now, but with all the super sonic hearing going on, Jacob kept his voice low. "Look, I'm not sure how this night is gonna go. Could you maybe..."

"With this crowd, I'm not making any promises," Jasper chuckled. "But I'll do my best."

"Thanks man," Jacob sighed. Just a few hours. That's as long as he had to keep natural born enemies on good terms. He ran his fingers through his short black hair and wondered what Renesmee was doing.

~The Bachelorette~

The soundcheck was over, and the girls were anxiously awaiting the beginning of the show in their front row seats. "So who's opening for them?" Bella asked curiously.

"Does it really matter? We're here for the hotties in 100 Monkeys, not whoever they hired to warm up the audience," Alice scoffed.

"Now Alice," Esme said warmly, "I've heard very good things about this young man. You girls may like him."

"Whatever," Alice sighed. "Bring me some J- Action and I will be the happiest girl alive!"

"Auntie," Renesmee gasped as she stifled a giggle. "You're married, remember?"

"Married, not dead. Well, not really anyway. I have eyes, and I intend on using them," she smiled happily.

"Oh God," Renesmee laughed along with the rest of the girls.

"Oh look, there's the guy who's opening. He's kinda cute," Rosalie said as a man with unruly dirty blonde hair walked on stage with his guitar. He had an obvious five o'clock shadow, but the sweetest smile that he graced them with when he sat on the stool before the mic. He winked at Bella, who most definitely would've blushed if it were possible. Rosalie nudged her and whispered, "He has a British accent too. Verrrry sexy!"

Bella shook her head and laughed nervously. Renesmee watched the man sing with a passion for music that had become rare in most performers, except 100 Monkeys, which is probably why they picked him to start the show. Renesmee cocked her head to the side. "He looks like Dad. A little."

"Ew ew ewww!" Rosalie groaned. "Thanks for ruining that for me. And everyone but your mother."

"Well it explains why he keeps looking over at her," Alice shrugged.

"Would you two stop?" Bella whispered with a glare at her sisters. "He is good looking, but no where near Edward! And my daughter is the one getting married here. I am way too old to be scouting out guys even if I wanted to, which I decidedly don't!"

"Fine," Alice sighed, glancing over at a girl in the row across the aisle. "That's probably his girlfriend anyway. The one over there who's staring at him all googly eyed and blushing like crazy. Weird. She kinda looks like you, Bella."

Renesmee laughed just as her phone began to buzz in her pocket.

Shutting the bathroom stall door, Renesmee checked her phone. A text from Jacob read, How u holdin out?

Great! We're House of Blues! 100 Monkeys :)

Wow! Wish i could be there w/ u. Holdin down the fort here w/ both sides of the fam is bound to be interesting...

Wish u were here 2! Miss u

Remind me to hug her next time i see her

lol u got it :)

"Renesmee Carlie Cullen!" Alice called as she stormed into the bathroom. "What are you doing? Get out here right now! If I miss 100 Monkeys singing Kolpix because of you, you will be in so much trouble!"

Alice peered through the crack in the stall where her niece was hiding and saw the light of the cell phone. "Are you texting Jacob?" she gasped. "You are, aren't you? You can't text your fiancé on your last night as a bachelorette!"

Renesmee opened the stall door to face her aunt. "Technically Auntie, tomorrow is my last day as a bachelorette," she said, her voice growing quieter and quieter as she looked at her aunt who could be quite intimidating when she wanted to be despite her small size. Now was one of those times.

"Tomorrow is the rehearsal dinner and you'll be with him all day. Today is the last time we'll ever have you all to ourselves!" Alice explained, holding out her hand for the phone. "Give."

"Can I just let him know why I'm all of a sudden not talking to him? Please?" she begged.

"Fine," Alice consented, crossing her arms over her chest while she waited for Renesmee to send the text.

Attack of the Pixie! Gtg shes taking my phone hostage. Luv u always & forever Jake! Can't wait to see u tomorrow :)

"Here," she sighed handing her cell phone over to her aunt.

"Thank you," Alice smiled triumphantly as she carelessly dropped Renesmee's only form of communication with the love of her life into her purse. "You'll appreciate this later," Alice said giving her niece a quick peck on the cheek. "A few more hours won't kill you. Now come on, let's go see some Monkeys!"

~The Bachelor~

The sound of breaking glass echoed throughout the forest as a beer bottle shattered against the trunk of a tree. "Ha!" Jacob laughed. "Told you I'd hit it, Emmett! Pay up."

Emmett groaned and handed Jacob a five dollar bill. Embry also put ten dollars into Quil's outstretched hand. Nahuel watched the transactions and laughed for the first time in a long time. He was glad Renesmee and Jacob had insisted on him coming.

"This game's over, Black," Emmett muttered, draining his own beer and smiling when the glass bottle turned to dust in his hand. "Bet you can't do that," he smirked.

Jacob raised an eyebrow as he watched the sand fall through Emmett's fingers. Billy Black laughed at his son's expression. "I probably could," Jacob said, "but it'd hurt like hell."

"Don't worry about it, Jacob," Jasper laughed. "Emmett's a sore loser. He just likes to show off."

Emmett narrowed his eyes and launched himself at his brother, snarls erupting from both their lips as they wrestled each other. Edward rolled his eyes. Thank God Charlie had gone home a few hours ago.

Jacob watched them in amusement. Truth be told, this night was going better than he had thought. A party with vampires and werewolves, where none of their significant others would be present to keep things under control, had originally sounded like a bad idea. A really really bad idea. It had started out awkwardly enough. Even though the pack had grown used to Renesmee, it did not mean that they were comfortable hanging out with the rest of the Cullen's yet. The vampires hadn't really known what to do either. Jasper kept his promise though and had tried his best to help the situation, but had eventually given up and left them all to fend for themselves. Jacob had finally suggested that they move the "party" outside. He knew his brothers were more comfortable out of doors than in, and he had hoped it would relieve some of the tension. It had definantely helped. Now a few beers, burgers, bets, and friendly fights later, everyone almost seemed to be enjoying themselves.

"So, Jake," Embry laughed snapping Jacob out of his trance. "What do you think it's gonna be like to have a smokin' hot mother-in-law?"

Edward laughed good naturedly as Jacob's eyes narrowed and he punched Embry's shoulder. "Dude, shut up! That's so weird."

"You're telling me," Edward said, still laughing.

"Hey, that's right," Emmett grinned, he and Jasper having called a truce. "Edward and Bella are gonna be your in-laws! Sucks man!"

"Not as bad as having you for an uncle," Jacob muttered.

"I'm a great uncle," Emmett defended. "Just ask your fiancee."

"Jacob has always been a part of our family," Carlisle reminded them all gently from where he sat talking with Billy. "Nothing is going to change much."

"Except he'll be away from his brothers," Paul said, a hint of betrayal shining in his eyes. Everyone fell silent. This was a subject no one had brought up before, though Jacob had thought about it. He wished they didn't have to move away, but if it meant being with Renesmee, he knew he'd leave La Push behind without so much as a second glance.

"Hey, it's not like you're never gonna see me again," Jacob said. "Oakville's only like an hour away. Ness and I will come back to visit and stuff."

"If she lets you," Quil laughed. "I'll bet Renesmee keeps Jake on a tight leash!"

"Shut up, man," Jacob groaned. Quil laughed. "Besides," Jacob said with a proud smile, "I'm leaving you guys in good hands. This kid was born to be an alpha." With that, he hooked an arm around Seth's neck and ruffled his hair.

"Aw, Jake!" Seth protested and Jacob chuckled, releasing him from his headlock.

They all laughed as the sun began it's descent across the sky. Jacob looked longingly towards the trees. What he wouldn't give for just one last run through Forks and La Push with his brothers. One more run as their Alpha.

"Well, I think it's time we Cullens head home. I can only assume you all are as anxious to get home to your wives as I am to mine," Edward said as he and Carlisle stood, while Jasper and Emmett got the hint and prepared to leave.

"Edward," Jacob said, realizing he had heard his thoughts, "you guys don't have to..."

"Go Jacob," Edward said, placing his hand on Jacob's shoulder. "Who knows how long it will be before you get this chance again."

"Thanks," Jacob nodded with a smile. He motioned for the rest of the pack to follow him into the woods. The boys of La Push ran into the forest, bursting into their wolf forms as they ran. Jacob loved the feel of the wind against his face and the dirt beneath his paws. Most of all though, he loved the sound of his brother's thoughts within his head.

Yeah, he heard Seth say, we're gonna miss you too.

As Edward drove down the road that night towards his home, he heard a howl rip through the air, followed by many more, and smiled.

*Any guesses as to who the guy was who warmed up the stage? ;)
