Chapter Two

Homework

School could end fast enough. The last bell rang, and we all met at our lockers. Jasper looked worn out, his eyes black with temptation. Alice kept a reassuring hand on his arms as we walked out to the cars. I had grown used to the stares, and ignored them while I chatted about my favorite class with Nahuel.

Art was more fun than music…and I loved music. Alice was in my class, and it was the last of the day. We had gone over the syllabus, and then had to draw ourselves using only pencils. It had been a fun little assignment. But we also got homework. Only one class had given homework, I guess I had to be grateful.

Nahuel swung my hand as we walked, his fingers light against mine. I could tell he truly enjoyed listening to my ramblings. "Oh, Nahuel! You should have seen Alice's picture!" I looked at my aunt. "She drew a pixie, with blank eyes, and a credit card in her hand. No one got it but me."

Nahuel laughed. "Well…glad you found a class you like." I nodded. My dad looked at me. He had a funny look on his face.

"Hey, Ness…you want to ride with Emmett and Rose?" I nodded, and me and Nahuel went to the giant jeep. Emmett lifted me up with a swooshing sound, and buckled me in. I thought it was a bit ridiculous…but eh…I enjoyed the attention. Jasper, Alice, and mom all piled into the Volvo with Edward.

Rose and Emmett climbed in and the monster jeep started with a roar, Emmett behind the wheel.

I looked at my husband as we drove home. Something wasn't right. Alice blanked out for a moment and then made an "oh" sound. Now Jasper was confused.

I lightly hit Edward's shoulder. "Did I miss something?"

Edward smiled at me, flashing the crooked grin that still drove me crazy. "Nahuel is going to propose to Ness."

Jasper coughed in surprise and blinked at his brother. I bit my lip, feeling my sharp teeth against my lips. "Are you nervous about this?"

Edward grimaced. "She's so young."

Jasper rolled his eyes. "Edward…she's fully matured. Seven years of age…technically…but 18 years in mind." He paused, winking at me. "Besides…you're eternally 17."

My husband groaned. "I'm just worried about complications."

I blinked. "Complications? Sweetie, they won't get married until after Ness graduates."

Alice nodded. "It'll be a beautiful spring wedding." This made Edward groan again. Alice laughed. "It's four years away!"

Edward sighed and turned into the mansion's long driveway, Emmett's jeep right behind us. "I know…I just hope this doesn't make things worse with the wolves."

And then I understood.

NPOV

We got out of the cars and went our separate ways to relax. I wanted to start my homework. Nahuel followed me to my room, relaxing on my bed, watching me draw. He looked completely edible in his light jeans and beige sweater. I concentrated on my drawing. Homework assignment was to draw our family…or something that represented my family. This was tricky. What represented my family?

Nahuel got up and wrapped his arms around me, kissing the back of my neck. "You stuck?"

I nodded. "What represents this family?"

Nahuel thought for a moment. Kissing my ear, his warm breath tickled me. "How about a sun? You are the center of this family." He moved to my other ear. "Or draw stick figures of each one." I shivered as his teeth grazed my earlobe.

Quietly, I spun to face him. "What else?"

He knelt in front of me, his face inches from mine. "You could draw a heart, and inside sketch the family seal, or a tiny picture that represents each person." His lips locked with mine, and I forgot about my homework. I remembered our first kiss…back in my secret meadow. This one was even better. I could sense that he was being careful with me. Careful not to bite. Careful not to taste too much of me.

I put my hands on either side of his face, running my fingers through his silken hair. He parted from me and let out a deep, shaky breath. "Do your homework, love." I frowned but turned back to my blank paper.

And then, as if my muse had appeared, I started to draw.

My hands flew over the paper, pencil in hand. I drew the meadow where we had faced the Volturi when I had been very little. I drew the Cullen family crest over the field. And in the center of the meadow, I shadowed one side dark, and left the other light. It was perfect. In this meadow, I had met my love, had seen my mother protect me like no other mother would be capable of. I had seen my aunt save the day with my uncle, and had heard the cries of victory from our witnesses. That was what the Cullens were all about. About self-sacrifice, bravery, family, and love.

Nahuel glanced at my drawing, no doubt remembering that day in the meadow as well. He smiled. "Good girl." And claimed my mouth with his again. Just as I was getting into the kiss, he pulled away, winked at me, and sauntered out the door. I growled. He obviously had been watching TV.

Sighing in frustration, I got up and went to find Jasper.

I felt my niece coming down the hallway before I saw her. She was radiating her frustration. I closed my book and looked at her curiously. Slamming the door, she sat down on the edge of mine and Alice's bed, and just glared at me.

I cleared my throat. "Did I do something?"

Ness shook her head. "No."

Ok…I thought for a moment. "Did your parents do something?"

"No."

Aw crap, not this again. I looked her square in the eye, searching for the answer. She sighed in exasperation and put her hand to my cheek. I swear, this girl was going to be the death of me. She showed me Nahuel's kiss…again.

Plucking her hand from my cheek I grimaced. "Thanks."

She pouted. "He pulled away from me and just left!"

I chuckled. Bad idea. Her eyes darkened and she growled at me through her teeth. I apologized immediately. "Sorry!" Ness curled her upper lip at me and stretched her legs out. I made room for her on the bed. "Aw Ness, he's just flirting with you…making you want more."

She glared at me. "Well it's working."

I couldn't believe I was having this conversation with my NIECE. I sighed. "Your father is going to kill me. If you want him…well…go get him." I rolled my eyes and pushed her off the bed. "Now scram, your making me feel like a hormonal teenager all over again."

Renesmee giggled and threw her arms around my neck, kissing my cheek. "Thanks, Jasper. You're a lifesaver."

I hugged her back, and gently pushed her towards the door. "Glad to know."

NPOV

I stalked my way back to Nahuel's room, knocking once and then slipping inside. He looked up at me curiously from his desk. "What's up, Ness?"

My heart picked up its pace as I made my way towards him. Straddling his lap, I kissed him softly, nipping at his lip. His hands circled my waist, pulling me closer. My senses went wild with him. His touch, his smell, his taste…they exhilarated me. But I had a plan. Just as he groaned against my lips, I stood up and winked at him, before walking out the door. Two could play at this.
