We pulled into Jacob's driveway, so we could walk down to the beach. He was, as always, outside waiting for us. Renesmee surprisingly took her time getting out of the car. I turned to make sure she realized where we were. She was in a heated conversation with Alyssa about one of the snotty girls in her class.

"It's not polite to talk behind people's packs like that." I informed her as I helped her out of Rosalie's SUV.

"I swear mom, she's not human. That has so count as fair to talk bad about her."

I tugged on one of her braids, "Your not fully human, does that give other people permission to talk bad about you behind your back?"

She burrowed her eyebrows as she thought about it.

"No…" She moaned kicking a rock across the driveway. "I get it." She huffed.

"I'm just saying." I shrugged. I reached out and touched her pouting lip. "Your not in trouble." I couldn't help but laugh.

"I know. I feel bad now."

"Stop being a cry baby! Lets go see Seth and Jacob." Alyssa said tugging at Renesmee's arm.

"Ok, but I'm not a cry baby." Renesmee said as they skipped over to where Jacob and Seth stood, talking to Edward.

I leaned against the SUV with Rosalie. She had her nose scrunched up. "Smell something?" I asked teasing her.

"How can you guys pretend it doesn't stink here." She shook her head in disbelief.

"Doesn't bother me too much anymore. Guess I got used to it."

"You were always weird." She said laughing.

We waited patiently as the guys had a conversation about last nights game. Renesmee and Alyssa went from Edward and Emmett to Seth and Jacob to try and get their attention. None of them looked down, and they were both becoming impatient. Renesmee walked behind Jacob, and kicked the back of his knee. It gave out, and Jacob wobbled as he caught his balance.

Rosalie and I covered out mouths to keep from laughing.

"Ness! What was that for!" Jacob laughed as he turned to look at her.

"You weren't listening to me." She shrugged.

She flashed him her innocent crooked smile that melted everyone's heart. I watched Jacob's face melt into a puddle, and knew whatever she was about to ask him he would give to her.

"Can we leave now?" She asked.

"We sure can." Jacob was caught in her web, and he knelt down for her to climb on his back.

"We ready to go?" He asked elbowing Edward in the ribs.

"Yeah I just have to grab the girls beach bags." Edward spun towards where Rosalie and I were standing. We held out the bags for Edward and Emmett.

As soon as our feet touched the sand Renesmee was wiggling out of her bathing suit cover up. She let go of Jacob's shoulders as she pulled it over her head. "Here mommy!" She turned to throw it at me.

I caught it and rolled my eyes. "Gee, thanks."

"Go!" Renesmee kicked at Jacob's sides, and pointed to the water.

Thankfully Jacob was already in swim trunks, so he took off running into the water. I caught my breath when he tossed her in the air and she plunged into the water. I let my breath out as soon as her head broke the surface, and she spit water out at Jacob. She made a disgusted face at the taste of the salt water.

"Go in the water." Rosalie told Alyssa.

I turned to look at them, and Alyssa was wrapped around Rosalie's leg.

"What's wrong honey?" Emmett asked kneeling down next to her.

I glanced quickly at Edward and he winked at me. "She can't swim." He whispered very low to me.

Alyssa leaned over cupping her hands around Emmett's ear and whispered it to him.

"Come one." He nodded his head towards the water, and took her hand. "I'll teach you. It's easy."

Rosalie, Edward and I followed them down to the water. Edward sat 2 chairs close to the water. Rosalie and I sat watching everyone. Edward tossed his shirt to the side, and walked into the water slowly. Jacob turned Renesmee's back towards Edward stalking closer to them. He dove into the water, and a few seconds later Renesmee screamed.

"My foot! Something just grabbed my foot!" Edward's head rose up behind her. His cheeks puffed out, and when Renesmee turned around Edward emptied out his mouth spraying water in her face. She threw her hands up to block the water as she screamed.

"Throw me!" She sang out as she grabbed onto both Edward and Jacob's shoulder.

I stood up walking into the water to watch them closer. "Not too far guys!" I reminded them.

They didn't answer me, so I stepped further in till the water was at me knees.

Renesmee was crouched between then as they held her feet just below the surface. "One, two, three!" Edward counted out as they bobbed Renesmee in the water. They threw their hands over their heads and She flew into the air. She tightened her body into a straight line as she dove head first into the water.

"I taught her that!" Jacob said proudly.

As soon as I saw Renesmee swimming back to them I looked for Emmett and Alyssa. He was holding her stomach as she kicked her feet and moved her arms.

Rosalie was watching them, and snapping pictures every 2 seconds.

I realized Seth wasn't with us anymore and I searched the beach for him. As I searched something caught my eye. It was up on the cliffs. "Seth!" I called out when I realized it was him. He was about to jump from the exact same spot I did a few years ago.

"Watch this Bella!" He called out as he backed up, and threw himself off the cliff.

A few minutes later he was swimming over to us. "Come jump with me! This time I bet you wont drown." He laughed. I heard Edward growl, and I leaned to look past Seth at him.

"Your not jumping." He said handing Renesmee to Jacob, and dove into the water.

I wanted to try it again. I wondered how it would feel without being a fragile human. "Come on Seth!" I took advantage of Edward being under water, and we spun to run towards the trail.

"Wait I want to go!" Jacob moved Renesmee to his back, and he swam towards us.

"Your not going." Edward caught my arm.

"Why not? It's not going to kill me." I laughed, but cut it off when I saw the worry in his eyes.

"I'm not that fragile girl anymore. I want to see what it's like now. The rush was amazing the first time, and now that I'm basically indestructible I want to try again."

"Come on Bells! I did promise to take you, so it's only fair." Jacob grabbed my arm, and Edward grabbed his.

"She's not jumping off that cliff." Renesmee stood wide eyes at Edwards side. "She's worried sick about you, your scaring her." Edward pointed to Renesmee.

"What are you doing!" She screeched at me.

"I'll be fine. Just watch me." I kissed the top of her head, and let Jacob pull me away.

"Bella!" Edward called after me. I looked over my shoulder, and he scooped Renesmee up as he stormed towards us. "Can you please think of your daughter? Let her show you the visions that are running through her mind."

"Ness, I wont get hurt. I promise."

"So, it's scary." She whispered.

"Yes, but that's what makes it fun. Just stay here and I will see you in a minute." She took an uneven breath. I touched her cheek, and without meeting Edwards glare I spun and raced up the side of the cliff. I heard Edward call after me, but I ignored him.

"You ready for this?" Jacob asked holding onto my waist as I stood at the edge of the cliff. I closed my eyes remembering clearly the last time I stood like this. How badly I wanted to hear his voice pleading with me to go back to Jacob. I shivered at the memory of me fighting to keep my head above the water, and the last of my air supply being forced out of me as I said goodbye to my one true love. My eyes shot open as I realized Edward read every thought I just had. I bit my bottom lip as I looked down at him. He was on his knees watching me with Renesmee clutched tightly on his lap.

"I'm ready." I whispered so my voice wouldn't crack.

"Want me to jump with you?" Jacob asked, tightening his grip at my hips.

"No, I want to do this alone." Jacob let me go, and I heard him step back.

"I'll be down right after you." He said as I stepped back a few paces, and launched myself forward. I flung my arms out in front of me as I felt the air rush past me. I tucked my head, and dove effortlessly into the water. When my head broke to surface I turned quickly to wave at Edward and Renesmee. She waved back excitedly as she jumped around on the beach. Edwards arms were crossed across his chest, and I knew I was in trouble. But it was worth it. This jump was a hundred times better than my first.

I caught Jacob just as he hit the water, and he came up right next to me.

"Thanks Jake! That was amazing!"

"Want to do it again?" He asked as we swam back to the beach. We stopped as we heard Seth hit the water. He came up laughing, and caught up to us.

"My step-sister-to-be jumps off cliffs, awesome!" We both laughed.

By the time we got to the beach Renesmee's friend Liam was there with his parents. They sat further away from us. Liam was a very cute little boy. He had blond curly hair, and his skin was as dark as Jacob's. I watched him run over to talk to Renesmee, and she introduced him to Edward. But Edwards eyes never left mine. I sighed before I got out of the water.

"See, not harm done." I smiled warily at him. He huffed, but was cut off by Renesmee.

"Can I go next? Please! That looked like fun!" She pleaded with me.

"I'll take you when your older." Jacob winked at her.

"Absolutely NOT!" Edward roared. "You promised Bella that, and it almost killed her! You are NEVER to take my daughter up there." Edward took a step closer to Jacob. "If I find out you are even thinking of taking her I will make sure you have no legs to jump with. If I cant trust you with her safety, than I cant trust you with any part of her. Got it?"

"Sure, sure." Jacob laughed and went back to the water to go swimming.

"We'll talk later." Edward snapped at me.

I rolled my eyes.

"Go play with your friends." I told Renesmee. She looked at Edward and I once, and turned to run to play with Liam and Alyssa who were sitting at the entrance to the ocean.

"I'm sorry Edward, but I'm fine. Not a scratch on me. Did you forget I'm not human anymore?"

"I understand why you did it, but the guilt is enough to make me insane. Watching you jump was like I was pulled into some nightmare. To me, love, your always going to be my fragile Bella. When I saw you up there I was brought back to your first jump. Jacob has showed me many times when he found you lifeless in the water. How he pulled your limp body to shore, and pounded the life back into you. Seeing you up there just now made me feel like I was watching helpless as you repeated your jump that nearly took you away from me forever."

"I didn't think you would see it that way." I whispered. I felt so stupid for making him watch me do that.

"Stop thinking that. I heard what you were thinking up there, and I realized why you wanted to do it."

"Thank you." I smiled relieved he wasn't mad at me.

"Next time, we do it together." He whispered into my ear.

"How about now?" I asked taking his hands in mine. We took off running up the cliff before anyone could realize where we were.

"You go first." He said stepping back from the cliff.

I took his hand. "No, together."

He wove his fingers through mine, and flung us off the cliff. As soon as we hit the water, Edward let us plunge deeper. We didn't need the air, and I was suddenly grateful. I opened my eyes, and he was smiling at me. He pulled me into him and crushed his lips to mine. I wrapped my legs around him, and he pulled us down deeper. Our solid bodies sunk easily to the ocean floor. My bathing suit bottom was hooked onto his arm so it wouldn't float away. I pulled him closer to me as the movement of the water pressed me against a rock wall. Edward closed the space between us quickly, his hands smashed against the rock on either side of my head. With Edward's hands anchoring us to the rock, I hitched my leg over his hip bringing him closer to me. He crushed my mouth to his once more, and I felt his chest vibrate from his moan.

Edward pulled away from me, and rolled his eyes. What? I though.

He pointed up to the surface, and pulled his arm out of the leg hole of my bathing suit bottom. I took it from him, and he pulled us back up to the surface of the water.

"We've been looking for you." Rosalie laughed as he walked back onto the beach.

Edward and I just smiled.

"Where's Ness?" Edward asked looking around the beach.

"Over with Liam and Alyssa. They're having a contest to see who can build the best sand castle." Rosalie pointed to where they were sitting.

"Ok, you called me up here for…. What." Edward asked her a little annoyed.

"Because Jacob, Seth, and Emmett are going to jump again. I didn't want them finding you down there. Just looking out for my little brother." She laughed pushing him.

We walked back over to sit on the beach.
