Chapter Fourteen - Nahuel
"Nothing? Not one thing?" I asked my parents again.
"Nahuel is trying to find out what he can, but as far as we know, there has never been a couple quite like you two," Dad told me.
He was probably right - I'd never heard of a half-human, half-vampire girl falling in love with a shape-shifting human/ wolf boy.
"If he gets any information, he'll let us know."
I would have to just accept it for now - another question with no known answer. I looked up at Jacob who had his eyes on my father. He seemed to be trying to convey a message to him.
"I think I'll go find your mother, Renesmee. She's out running a shift with Quil," Dad told me. Jacob must have been asking him to leave. We stayed silent for a few minutes after he left.
"What's up?" I finally asked Jake.
"What if you can get pregnant. I mean..... you could be, already."
"If it's possible," I reminded him.
"Well what if it is?"
"I don't know. I guess we'd have another mouth to feed then."
"What about you, though?"
"What about me?" Where was he going with this?
"Would you....... would you be okay with it?"
"With having kids? I'm fine, so long as their yours."
"You would have kids with me?" He actually seemed shocked.
"Of course I would. They would be beautiful."
He hugged me up tightly. "You're amazing, Ness."
"What'd you expect me to say? 'No, I would never have kids with you'?"
"I didn't know what to expect. I never do with you."
Later that evening, we were all sitting together in the living room when there was a light knock at the door. Jacob jumped up from his seat and Mom looked alarmed, but Dad stayed completely calm.
"It's alright," he soothed. "Why don't you get the door, Nessie."
I crossed the room and pulled the door open. I did not recognize the figure standing in front of me, but I still knew who he was.
"Hello, Renesmee. It's nice to meet you again."
"Hello, Nahuel," was all I could get out. He was very..... mesmerizing. Dad laughed as he read my thoughts.
"Not only yours....." Dad murmured, making me blush. Mom looked confused, and Jacob looked angry. My pink cheeks always gave me away.
Why was Nahuel here? Had he found out anything for me?
"No, he's just visiting," Dad told me.
"Excuse my intrusion," Nahuel said politely as I moved aside so he could come in. "I just wanted to see you for myself after all that I've heard about you." He looked over at my father. "You were right, she is the most beautiful creature on Earth."
"Watch what you say about her," Jacob snapped.
Nahuel turned his gaze to him for the first time. "Or what?" he asked. "Get attacked by a dog?"
Jacob's body began to tremble.
"Hey, both of you stop it!" I told them. "You are both mature enough to act civilized."
"Yes, ma'am," Nahuel said with a smile. Jacob stayed standing up.
"Will you be staying here with us?" my mom asked Nahuel.
"If you would like," he answered. "I have money for a hotel, otherwise."
"As long as you don't mind the couch, we'd love to have you," she smiled.
"You've got to be kidding!" Jacob rumbled.
"We will all be hospitable while our guest is here," Mom glared at him.
"I'm going to bed." Jake said.
"I'll be there after I change," I told him.
I went to the bathroom and changed into a pink silk shorts and cami set. I brushed my teeth and splashed cold water on my face. When I opened the door, Nahuel was standing there. He looked me up and down in a way that I was getting very used to.
"What are you doing tomorrow?" he asked me.
"I don't know," I said as I unclipped my hair and let it fall down around my face. He almost started to drool as he inhaled my scent. "I don't have school tomorrow."
"Well, maybe you could show me around," he suggested.
"I don't know.... we have somewhat of a situation right now." I explained yesterday's events to him.
"What are you, a dog magnet?" he laughed. I did not find it so funny. I stormed off to the living room to tell my parents good night, but the room was empty.
"They left," Nahuel said from behind me, "probably to make sure your new lover wasn't around." He was really starting to get on my nerves. "I'm sorry, Renesmee," he said quickly. "I just think you could do so much better."
I laughed; I'd heard this before.
"You don't even know me. You don't even know him."
"I know enough." He put his nose close to me and inhaled deeply. "I can smell him on every inch of you."
"And?"
"And, a gentleman would have waited to have you."
"You are ridiculous!" I screamed. "You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about!!" I turned away from him and went straight to my room.
Jacob was actually asleep, despite all the noise I'd just made. I curled up into his chest and steamed until I fell asleep. I dreamt of punching Nahuel in the face.
The sun was bright when I woke up. It streamed in through my window, warming me and making me forget all of my problems.
"Mmmm," Jacob said as he stretched out beside me. "Nice dreams, Ness."
I laughed. "Yeah, pretty funny, huh?"
I got up and turned on my mp3, flipping through randomly until something pleased my ears.
"Let the blackness roll..... on......." Dax Riggs sang to me. Music was Heaven. Nahuel's voice sent me crashing back to Earth.
"What is this?" he asked through my door.
"Music," I said through my teeth.
"I like it," he said from my now open door.
"Do people not knock in South America?!" I slammed my door in his face.
"Feisty," I heard him say.
"Jacob, we have to go somewhere today," I said, spinning around to look at him.
"Where?" he asked.
"I don't know yet. I'll think about it in the shower."
After I blow dried my hair, I realized I'd forgotten my clothes. Again. I started back towards my room in my towel.
As I reached out for my doorknob, Nahuel peeked around the corner and whistled at me. This was the last straw. I flew into the living room where he sat.
"What is your problem?!" I yelled just inches from his lovely face. "Do you WANT me to hurt you?!"
"You can do whatever you'd like, so long as that's all your wearing," he laughed.
My eyes narrowed into slits as I sized him up; I think I could take him.
"You're really sexy when you're mad," he said.
All of a sudden, Nahuel was being pinned to the ground by a huge reddish-brown wolf. Jacob snarled in his face, baring his teeth in anger. I knew that this was not right - I did not really want him to get hurt, no matter how much he deserved it.
"Don't waste your time, Jacob. He's not worth it."
Jacob growled a few minutes longer, but eventually backed off and stalked back to my room with me behind him.
"You smell much better today, Renesmee!" Nahuel called from down the hall. I locked my door behind me.
Jacob phased and said nothing as he laid down on my bed. I threw my towel into my hamper and searched around the closet for a new outfit. I picked out some light blue jeans and a white tank top.
When I turned back around, Jacob was standing right there, still completely naked. My eyes skimmed over his perfection and I felt as if I might explode. He took my clothes from my hands and threw them to the bed.
I grabbed the back of his head and pulled his face to mine. We kissed each other roughly as he picked me up and carried me to my bed. He laid me down, and very slowly kissed every inch of my body. I was definitely going to spontaneously combust at any moment.
"Wait, Renesmee," Jake breathed as I repositioned myself.
"Why?" I half yelled. Didn't he want to?
"Of course I do," he answered my thoughts; both of my hands were on him. "Just not here. Not with him out there."
"Let's go then." I jumped up and threw my clothes on while Jacob did the same. I grabbed his hand and led him towards the front door.
Nahuel was sitting alone in the living room, and I could swear that he mumbled something like "disgusting" as we walked by.
Who was he to judge me? There was nothing disgusting about me and Jacob. He was perfect. Nahuel had no clue of anything to do with us. I could not understand why he had to be so rude.
We pulled up to Jacob's house and went inside. Luckily, Billy wasn't home. We flew to Jake's bedroom and picked up where we had left off.
It was slightly different this time; he was still angry from earlier, and I could feel that. He was slightly rougher, harder in a way. I enjoyed it immensely.
Four hours after we'd arrived, we decided it was time to go. All the tension inside of me was replaced by relaxation. Let Nahuel say what he wanted - I did not care anymore.
"Hey," I said to Mom and Dad when we got back.
"Hello, darling," Mom said with a smile. Dad only nodded - he was still upset with me, and my current thoughts were not helping that situation any. Nahuel stared at the floor
"So, anything yet?" I had almost forgotten about my new suitor. I wished I could forget about him completely.
"Nothing. Maybe he won't come back," Mom said hopefully.
"Wouldn't bet on that," Jake muttered.
I hoped Mom was right; he could just go away and leave everything back to normal. I knew things would not go that way, but I still hoped.
