One thing I have learnt is not to rush my stories. Looking back at my first fan fic, my first Renesmee/Jacob story Fragile Change I realised it was way too rushed and I was determined for my final Renesmee and Jacob story {this one} to be a lot more slower paced with a lot more emotion. It takes a lot of hard work to get to the prime and the height of a relationship {even if you're eternal imprints…}

JACOB

Nessie had been in this coma for the last 3 days. I hadn't eaten, I hadn't slept, and I was ready to collapse. I had stayed by her bed the whole time and she had shown no signs of improvement. I talked to her constantly. Reminiscing about the old days, talking about how much I loved her, talking about the future. I was sure I looked exactly like a mad man. Everyone had tried many times to pry me away but I wasn't having any of it. She was going to live and she was going to be okay.

Just then Carlisle came in to run some checks.

He glanced at me and raised his eyebrow 'you know, if you don't get some rest, you'll won't be able to look after her when she wakes up.'

I knew what he was saying was true but I just couldn't move from her like physically couldn't.

My face lingered on her one last time before I tore myself from her and forced myself to leave.

I awoke 6 hours later, feeling refreshed and rested. I had slept at the Cullen's, not wanting to be far from her. Now it was back to Nessie.

I walked into the most chaotic atmosphere. Bella crying hysterically with Edward holding her. Carlisle zooming around, and a loud bleeping noise.

'WHAT'S HAPPENING?' I charged over to her, her lips were turning blue. I gasped aloud.

'CARLISLE SHE CAN'T BREATHE' I screamed

'DO YOU NOT THINK I REALISE THAT?' He shouted back trying to push me out the way to get a tube into her throat.

'MOVE' I pushed him out of the way hard. Obviously what he was doing wasn't working, he wasn't making her better.

I pressed my mouth against her icy lips and opened it fully and breathed into her. Pouring everything I had, all the life in me, into her. I would not lose her. Ever.

At that moment I felt something happen. It was that strange sensation, the imprint pulling us closer together, something happening out of this world. A magical force.

I breathed into her for what seemed like a very long time, holding onto the pull that I felt.

Come on Ness I thought as I continued to breathe into her mouth.

I felt the pull getting stronger and stronger as I carried on breathing, I knew she was coming back to me I could feel it.

Come on Ness, sweetheart, open your eyes

The pull got so strong. I could feel her lips getting warmer, I could hear her breathing, her lungs rising rapidly in her chest and then she jolted. Her eyes shot wide open, slightly tinted red from the human blood Carlisle had been injecting her with. She gasped heavily, breathing hard for air and I stumbled back from the force.

'OH MY GOD NESSIE' I cried, in tears of happiness. Carlisle immediately came forward with Bella and Edward placing a breathing mask full of oxygen onto her face. Her eyes were wide and darting all round the room. She was in a state of shock.

We all came close to her, I held her hands.

'You're okay Ness, you're here, and you're alive' and I just cried and cried.

3 days later…

Nessie was now sitting up and she didn't need the breathing mask anymore. We were alone together for a while.

'Thank you for the roses' she said softly gesturing towards the huge bouquet of pink roses I'd bought for her.

'Anything for you' I said staring into her beautiful chocolate brown eyes. Those same eyes a part of me thought I might never see again. Nearly losing Nessie had completely changed my life. If it was possible I treasured her even more than I thought I ever could. I never wanted to have another argument with her; I never wanted us to be apart. I needed us to be together, forever, just loving eachother.

And when she was ready I was willing, more than willing to give her what she wanted. What I wanted. To find another way to show her how much I loved her. More than anything.

Her eyes tightened a little bit and her smile disappeared. I instantly moved my hand to gently cup her face.

'Are you okay?' I asked her

'I'm scared Jake' she admitted.

'You don't have to be afraid anymore Nessie. I will always be here for you, always. You are safe with me, and that's where you'll always be, with me.'

She turned to face me, tears glistening in her eyes making them sparkle.

'I thought I was going to die' and a tear escaped her eye running down her cheek. I wiped it away with my thumb and kissed her cheek gently.

'You're okay now Nessie, you're here with me, you're okay.'

'Hold me?' she asked and I obliged, getting onto the bed with her, being extra careful with her badly damaged body and wrapped my arm around her pulling her close to me.

We were quiet for a few moments before she said quietly, 'I felt it Jake, you brought me back to life, you breathed life into me.'

I guess I did.

'I would of give my life to you if I had to Ness but yes I felt it too.'

'Maybe it's an imprint thing' she suggested

'Or maybe it's a Jake madly in love with Nessie, loves her more than everything, willing to sacrifice anything to save her thing' I replied kissing the top of her hair and she laughed gently.

'It felt peaceful dying Jake, It felt like I was drowning, like drifting away. The only thing that kept me from giving in was you. I could hear you, I could remember you, all I could think about was you.'

I think a tear escaped my eye that moment.

'I always told you to never give up and you didn't and I'm so proud of you Nessie.'

'You promised me you'd never leave me remember?' she asked and I nodded, 'So I made my own promise, to never leave you no matter what. I'm sorry for putting you through hell.'

'I did go through hell. A world without you isn't a world at all Nessie. You're what makes everything else matter, without you nothing matters and I cease to exist.'

'I love you' she said leaning even closer into me.

'I love you more.'
