Chapter 1
Home Coming
I woke up to rain, more rain, it had been raining all week and I'd had just about enough of being stuck inside. "Nessie, you up?" said my mom as she opened the door "sort of" was my sleepy reply "good, Dad and Alice are going to take you hunting, then Alice said she would take you shopping if you want to go" at the word shopping I was out of bed and grabbing some clean clothes "sure, I'll go" I said excitedly. "Can't wait" came from Alice who was down stairs, "she already knew I'd say yes didn't she?" I asked Mom "she has known for two hours now and she has been dying for me to ask you" I smiled and went into the bathroom to change. I skipped down the stairs to see Alice and Jasper talking on the couch, Rosalie and Esme watching TV, Mom reading something, and Dad standing by the door "Emmett is waiting out side for us" I opened my mouth to ask something but Dad answered it before I said anything "he is going too" "ok, when are we leaving?" I asked "now" said Alice as she gave me a big hug.
After hunting, and shopping with Alice I came home. Jasper and alice left to go do something, Esme and Carlisle weren't home, Rosalie and Emmett were who knows where, and Mom and Dad were watching TV "Mom, any word from Jake?" he had been gone for three weeks now and I missed him terribly, "no, but I'm sure we'll hear from him soon" she said smiling, but it was a forced smile, she didn't know if we would ever hear from him, no one did. I hate it when he does this, he'll leave for weeks at a time with no word to anyone when ever things aren't going his way. "I'm gonna call Sam and see if he has heard anything" Mom and Dad just looked at each other and I could tell he was reading her thoughts "ok" he said as he looked up to meet my gaze. I went up stairs to call so I could be alone to call Sam. "Hello" "Hey Sam, Any word from Jake?" he paused "he said he'll be home soon, but I don't know when that will be" "when did you talk to him?" "last night" he sounded tired, I probably woke him up, "oh, will you let me know if you talk to him again?" "sure, but Renesmee he said he wanted to talk to you, so he might not come to me before he does" "oh, does my mother know that?" he took a long pause before answering "yes, but she didn't want me to tell you so don't tell her I said anything" "ok, I better go, thanks for talking to me" "any time kid, sorry about Jake I don't think he knows how much it bothers you when he's not here" "yeah, well then I'll tell him, bye Sam" "bye" I wish he would come home, just so I could hug him.
I went back down stairs, "hey Mom, I think I'm gonna go to the meadow ok?" "be careful, and take the before car" said Mom "fine" I as already on my way to the garage, I hate it when I have to take the before car, Dad had bought it for Mom before she was a vampire and it's pretty much indestructible. I actually did have a drivers license, thanks to Jasper who got me one for my sixth birthday which was more like my sixth birthday because of my weird aging thing. I loved to go to the meadow, it's were my mom found out my dad was a vampire and were he proposed to her. I also liked the long hike up the mountain to get there.
I sat on the grass, tired from running all the way up the path, the meadow was peaceful and quiet, and the sun was shinning down on my shimmering skin. I heard a noise and jumped to my feet ready to attack or run which ever was necessary, when a big brown wolf stepped into the clearing, it was Jake I'm sure of it "Jake, please phase back I need to talk to you" I said, I was so happy to se him, he walked back into the woods so he could phase. When he came out he was smiling "I missed you Nessie" he hugged me too him tightly "I missed you too, I hate it when you leave" he lifted my face so he could look me in the eyes "well I'm home now and I'm not leaving again for a long time" I smiled as he kissed my forehead.
We talked for a little while, he asked about what I had been doing in his absence, and I told him missing him and shopping, he said he'd been up in Canada somewhere and he'd missed me too. I desperately wanted to tell him exactly how much his absence had upset me, but I would do that later, I'd missed him too much to ruin this moment or the joy of his return. As we talked, he held me in his lap, and I laid my head on his shoulder, "why do you leave me so often?" I asked slowly, then wished I hadn't, because he pause before answering "sometimes I just need to get away, you must now how that is or you wouldn't be here" "yeah, I guess I do, but why can't you take me with you?" he smiled "because, sweet Renesmee, your mother would have my head on a silver platter if I took you away from her now" I giggled "I suppose you're right, Mom would defiantly be mad" "why don't you take me home with you so I can see your mom, as much as it seems weird your mother is my best friend" "ok, come on she'll be happy to see you" then we walked, hand in hand, down the long path to the car.
When we got to the car Jake stopped me before I could open the door, he grabbed my waist and pulled me to him "I love you Renesmee" he whispered "I love you too Jake" I whispered back, then he kissed me softly. When he pulled away he was smiling, I smiled too and I could feel the hotness of my cheeks turning red, "we should go" I said. Before he could say anything I got in the car and he shut the door, then got in the other side, "is Bella mad at me?" he asked quietly "oh mom? no I don't think so" "lets not tell her I kissed you, because then I'm sure she'd be mad" "yeah, lets not." On that note I started the car and pulled on to the long dirt road that led to the highway.
When we pulled in the driveway Mom and Dad were on the porch waiting, "Renesmee, I see you found Jacob" said Dad, he looked disapproving. "Jake!" cried my mom as she ran forward to hug Jake "Bella, I've missed you" "I've missed you too" then she went from Bella mode to Mom mode "but not as much as Renesmee has" there was a long awkward silence before Dad saved the day "why don't you come inside Jake, and tell us all about the time you were gone" "ok, sounds good" said Jake hesitantly. We talked for a long time, Jake, Mom, and I, Dad left to go hunting and everyone else seemed to disappear. We talked about Jake's time away, and how much we all missed him, then we talked about his plan now that he was back.
He said he was going to get a job, and spend the rest of his time with the pack and me, he was actually planing to spend time with me! I still can't believe he told me he loved me, he has never done that before. It also let me know he loved me back, I'd known I loved him for a long time, I think I've loved him all my life, but the way I love him has changed as I have. At first he was my favorite babysitter, then he was my best friend, and slowly as I grew older and he stayed the same, I've come to love him the way I do now. I know the reason for this is the imprint, but part of me feels I would love him even without it. "Renesmee? do you want to go with Jacob to La push ?" Mom was smiling at me as she asked this "oh, yeah I'd love to go" "she was off in la la land, just like you used to Bells" Jake was looking at my mom knowingly and smiling his beautiful smile, "did I do that a lot?" mom asked shyly "yes Bella, you did that a lot" mom smiled, and she looked even younger than she already did, she looked truly happy, which wasn't often, most of the time mom was unhappy now, I wasn't quite sure why. Dad wasn't that happy much of the time either.
Jake and I, left quickly so we could get there faster, I think Jake misses the pack when he's away because he seemed like he couldn't drive fast enough, which didn't bother me because if you drive with any member of my family the speed limit is the minimum. Of course when we got there the pack and Emily were waiting at Sam's house, they knew Jake was coming because Leah had been in wolf form when Jake decided to come to La push. I didn't really know if I liked Leah, she was very unhappy all the time which made her kind of mean or completely withdrawn. Jake had told me once that Leah was the way she is because she is the only female wolf and she can't have kids, so she hates just about everyone that can.
My thoughts where interrupted by a warm hug, "Renesmee, you need to come down here more often" Seth said as he pulled away "last time I saw you was like a month ago." I adored Seth, he was even nicer than Sam. He loves my family, which is more then I can say for the rest of the pack with the exception of Jake. The rest of the pack tolerated my family well, they kind of have to because of Jake and I being imprinted, but none of them would choose to be anywhere near my family on their own. "Nessie?" I had been thinking again and completely ignored Seth, "yeah, hopefully you'll see me a lot more now that Jake is back" I smiled at Seth then looked to Jake for reassurance, he smiled "you and I are gonna be pretty much inseparable, with the exception of work" "once you get a job, Jacob" piped up Emily teasingly. "Oh Emily, Jake will get a job, eventually" Paul burst out laughing at his own joke and ended up getting hit by Jared. "You'll get a job" Jared said before hitting Paul again, "why'd you hit me this time?" "cause I felt like it" "boys" Sam stepped in before they could really start arguing.
Seth had been the only one watching when Emily put the food on the table, and had gone over to eat as much as he could before the rest of the guys noticed. "Hey Seth, save some food for the rest of us" Quil walked in with Clare toddling along behind him. "Nessie!" Clare exclaimed in her sweet little girl voice. She ran over to me with open arms and I scooped her up and held her close, she had to be one of the cutest little girls in the world. "Show me when you met Jacob again" she demanded, I showed her the very first time Jake held me in his arms, I was only a few hours old and I remember it well, thanks to my sweet vampire memory. That moment in my memory is Clare's favorite story and she always demands I show it to her.
"So I don't get a hug?" asked Quil trying to act upset "oh course you do" I put Clare down and hugged Quil. "Now that's better" he smiled then got distracted by the food again, Clare fallowed him to the table and sat under it like she always did when she wasn't hungry. Jacob finely returned to my side, "do you want to stay or do you want to go back to your house?" he asked under his breath so every one else couldn't hear him, "um, what if we go to your house?" "my dad's not home" "thats fine, we can talk if we're alone" he nodded then turned to every one else "Renesmee and I are going to head to my house and see if my dads home." There was a chorus of bye Jakes and see ya laters, then we went out side, we walked down the beach to his house and up the walk to his door, he knocked but no one answered so he unlocked it and we went in side.
We went into his room because there was no one there to stop us. He sat on his bed then turned to me, I was still standing in the door way, I had never been in his room before. I walked to the bed and sat on the edge, he reached out grabbed my waist and pulled me into his lap and I put my head on his warm muscular chest. "I love you Renesmee Carlie Cullen" his voice was soft and adoring "I love you you too Jacob William Black" he laughed "I forgot I told you my middle name" I giggled. We talked and laughed for hours, before I looked at my watch "oh my god, it's nine o'clock, I have to be home in two hours, plus I have to leave early because I have to take a shower" "take a shower here" "but I don't have anything to change into plus I need to wash my clothes" "we have a washer and dryer, and you can wear something of mine" "ok ,I guess that would work." I went in to the bathroom after he gave me some shorts and a t-shirt of his to wear. After I took a shower I put my clothes in the washer and went back to his room, thank god his shorts were draw string or they would have been huge and the t-shirt was more like a dress then a shirt. I sat on the bed and he pulled me beside him again, "sorry the clothes are huge" he said looking me over "it's fine, I like wearing your clothes" we both smiled, then he leaned closer, and closer, until our lips were touching. He kissed me and I kissed him back, the kiss got longer and deeper, I knew I should stop, I knew I should pull away, but I couldn't his lips were so soft and I was enjoying myself far to much to stop, so I didn't and what happened next was nothing like I had expected....
