Okay, I know that I have been a very bad person and haven't updated in like a thousand years, and I am truly sorry. Writers block is a menace. I hope you can forgive me for this horribly long wait… I haven't updated since August. Thanks for sticking with me.

Chapter Nine – Together

NPOV

"We need to have a conversation." She said, and my stomach dropped.

Mom walked me way far out until we were out of Dad's hearing zone.

"Mom…"

"Renesmee…I just want to get all of the details straight. You're not in trouble."

"Okay." I whispered. Thank goodness for that, or else I would be having a very difficult time breathing right now.

"So…you are talking again."

"Yes."

"And you trust him with your safety."

"Yes." I said with a little too much 'duh' tone.

"So…what does that mean?" She asked. I sighed.

"Mom, I kissed Jake." I closed my eyes and waited for her to yell at me. It was quiet for a while.

"Sorry! I don't know exactly how it happened…we just sort of…kissed. I'm sorry…"

"Nessie, don't be sorry. I know from personal experiences how hard it is when your parents don't approve you your relationships. Especially when you know that they are the one that you want to spend your life with and love forever."

"So…you don't care?"

"Not really, I'm glad that you could work out your problems." She said. I smiled and hugged her.

"Thanks mom."

"That's what I'm here for, baby." We got up and walked slowly back to the house. Dad was going to be another story. He was probably going to try and kill Jacob and then it would turn into a fight and then me and mom would have to do a lot of screaming and being refs. I sighed. Greaaaat. When we could see the house, I noticed a large gathering of my family in front of the house. Mom ran vampire speed up to them, but my half-humanness slowed me down.

When I finally did reach the family, I joined Jake.

"What's going on?" I whispered. He half-smiled.

"Your dad tried to kill me…not the first time and won't be the last. Nothing big. I'm sure that it didn't help replaying that wonderful kiss…and the thoughts that went along with it." I smacked his chest.

"Jacob!" I hissed. "That is going to make him so much easier to deal with later!" I still had hormones in my body, regardless of what time of the month it was and they assisted in my anger. I marched off and then ran inside. A few seconds later, Jake pounded on the bathroom door.

"What, Jake?"

"I'm sorry, Nessie! I didn't mean to make things harder for you…I just…please open the door."

"Fine…" I opened it and let him in.

"Nessie, I'm really so…" I cut him off, reaching up and kissing him. Turns out I forgot to lock the door.

"Hey, Ness are you…" There was a gasp and I spun around. Alice stood in the doorway and Jasper was further down the hallway. "…okay?" Alice finished. I slammed the door shut, sat on the floor and cried. Jake sat down and put me in his lap.

"Nessie, don't cry. It's fine…shh." He tried to soothe me. I just kept crying. This was so not fair. I heard Alice walk away, but she only walked a few steps.

"Ugh, Jake, just leave me alone." I pushed him away and ran out the door. I sped to the attic and locked the door. The attic in this house was fairly nice, so it wasn't all cobwebs and mice. I curled up on a small loveseat and cried.

It was just so humiliating. I couldn't ever just have a moment to myself. One of those blissful…ah…moments without an interruption, it was just so annoying. Okay, sure…I had about a hundred of them earlier, but I had been though a lot.

Eventually, I fell asleep…and I went on to dream about me and Jake. I slept for a long time. When I woke up, there was a lot of bright light shining through the small window. I groggily stood up and eventually made it to the door. When I opened it, I gasped softly.

Jake was sitting in the tiny hallway, fast asleep. I smiled a little. His head moved to face me and he opened his eyes.

"Mm…hey, baby." He mumbled. I grinned at that and sat down next to him, giving him a slow kiss before I spoke.

"I'm really sorry about yesterday, I was totally out of line…I was just so overwhelmed."

"Ness, don't worry about it sweet heart. I totally get it."

"Whatever, Jake. It was still mean, and I'm sorry." I sighed. He stared at me for a little bit.

"Apology accepted." He said, not attempting to argue with me anymore. I hugged him.

"You know, Jake, there are many, many empty beds in this house…" I laughed. "You didn't have to sleep here, it had to have been hard to sleep."

"Renesmee Carlie Cullen," He said, and it made my stomach twirl. I grinned. "I would sleep here every night for the rest of eternity for you if I had to."

"Jake, you are the absolute best." I kissed him.

"Nah…I'm pretty sure you are higher up on the list." I rolled my eyes.

"I need to get some new clothes from Alice, I grew again." I stood up and held out my hand. He grabbed it and stood up.

"An inch and a half; and you've matured about three years." Jake said. I only grew large amounts about once a month anymore. Once we got down to the third floor, we split up. I went to Alice's room and Jake went down stairs.

Warily I knocked on the door. Jasper opened it.

"Mornin' Ness." He smiled. "She'll be out in two seconds."

"Thanks Jasper." I said awkwardly. It was so weird and awkward to talk to him now after yesterday. Alice would be worse.

"Ness, don't stress over it." He said, and immediately sent waves of calm and relaxation over me.

"Thanks." I smiled. Alice bounced over to me.

"You grew!" She squealed. "Yay! I have tons of new stuff for you. Rose and I will take care of your old clothes."

"Thanks, Alice. You're the best."

"That's what I'm here for. You know, I'm glad that you are growing up like a normal girl should, unlike your mother." I burst out laughing.

"Normal?" I raised and eyebrow. "Alice, I have the least normal life of anyone on this planet! I went from egg to 15 in almost four years!"

"Well, aside from that! The clothes…"

"I know Alice. Thanks." I hugged her and then jogged down to get some breakfast.

Before I could get there, Dad stopped me.

"Renesmee, we need to talk."

"Yeah…." I looked away and followed him to Carlisle's office. It was empty, which I was glad of. I didn't want a visual audience.

"Dad, listen. I love Jake. I have fought it for weeks and NOBODY can change my feelings. It was meant to be and I know that you know that. So, if you want to try and fight fate that has been set for four years, go ahead, but you aren't going to change anything. So you can support me and accept my life, or you can be alone in your world of hatred toward our relationship.

The way Jake explained it, I plan on marrying this man. Not anytime soon, but in the future. I want to be with him forever; As in the rest of existence. I'm pretty sure you know what it feels like to find your soul mate and have disapproval from those in high authority. I'm sorry if you don't like my choices, but there is absolutely nothing you can do." I sighed when I finished. He didn't say anything so I stood up and left the room.

The second I opened up the door Jake took my face in his hands and passionately kissed me.

"I love you." I gasped.

"I love you too."

I know it's not the longest chapter ever, but I figured the sooner I got it in the better. I can't believe that it has been this long since I have updated! Review please and tell me what you thought. So sorry for the wait.
