Chapter Nine
When we finally decided to head downstairs, Jacob stopped me at the door. He leaned down to kiss me once more and whispered in my ear. "I think you might need to go first and I'll follow you in a few minutes." I nodded as he gave me my favorite smile of his and walked to his room.
Once I had reached the kitchen, I noticed Seth and Leah at the table, trying to suppress a laugh. I glanced at my mom, who was doing the same while she was cooking. As she turned to face me, I could tell she noticed the confused look on my face. "You forget sometimes that vampires and werewolves have an amazing hearing sense." She said, trying her hardest not to laugh. I blushed as I realized what they knew.
Suddenly my dad appeared by my mom, giving me a tight smile. "I'm trying, Sweetie, I really am." He said. I rolled my eyes. Leah and Seth could not contain their laughter any longer as they suddenly burst into roars and snorts. "I have got to congratulate Jake on his choice of words!" Seth said, trying to catch his breath "Dynamite comedy! He should really try stand-up!" I decided that this was way more than I could take and turned to go. "What, honey, we're sorry, aren't we kids?" my mom said, glaring at Seth. Actually, more like trying to look like she was glaring at Seth. She was still trying not to do the same as they had. "Now, Nessie, I'm sure you're hungry so what would you—" "No thanks, Mom." I stopped her "I not really hungry this morning." I said as I finally left the kitchen.
Once in the living room, I saw Uncle Emmett lounging on the couch watching a football game. "There she goes! The girl of the hour! Did you have fun last night? Or were you just talking in you sleep again? If so, you do a perfect imitation of Alpha Wolf!" he laughed. "Yeah, where is hound dog, anyway?" I turned to see Aunt Rosalie walking into the room. I rolled my eyes at Aunt Rosalie. She and Jacob never really got off to a good start. I don't even think they use each others real names that often. It's always Blondie and hound dog. I laughed to myself as I remembered some of the crazy jokes they pulled on one another. "He should be down soon. We didn't expect everyone to know already, so we decided to come down separately." A lot of good that did, though, I thought.

Later that day as Aunt Alice and I were upstairs getting me ready, I could not contain my excitement. "Hurry, Aunt Alice! I don't want to have him waiting too long! What if he decides that I take to long to get ready and cancels on me? Oh No, Aunt Alice please hurry!" by this time, I was on edge. "Be still, Renesmee or I will never have your make-up finished! Rose, I'm going to need some help in here!" Suddenly Aunt Rosalie was behind me, holding me down. I huffed as I slumped my shoulders under her strong hands.
"Okay, all finished!" Aunt Alice said as Aunt Rose finally loosened her grip. "Thanks, both of you!" I yelled as I ran downstairs to meet Jacob. After he greeted me with a kiss, we walked to the door. As he opened the door, I was suddenly staring into the eyes of someone I had once called a close friend. I tightened my grip on Jacob's hand as I realized who was standing in front of me. "Hello Nessie, darling! Long time, no see!" Never in my life have I ever thought such horrible things as I did at this moment.
