The walk to the front door seemed to take forever. I felt like I was moving in slow motion. Jacob towed me along behind him.

"Jake, Renesmee has more than enough money to last all of you months. Her ID is also in the bag with yours." My mom's voice broke once again. My mom had kept the drivers license for Jacob that she had made when the Volturi came for me the first time. She didn't think they were going to get out alive, so she had an ID made for both Jacob and I. As soon as we were safe my mom shredded mine and had a new one made every couple years with Vanessa Cullen instead of Vanessa Wolfe. Jacob's was still the same since he didn't age. It was my idea to keep Vanessa. People didn't look at me weird when they read Vanessa over Renesmee. Plus it was only when we left the country that I had to show my ID, so we don't use it much.

Jacob dropped my hand and walked swiftly towards my mom. My dad immediately stepped away from her just as she threw her arms around his neck. "Once again I put her life in your hands." My mom whispered.

"I'll protect it with my own." Jacob vowed.

My mom nodded and bit her bottom lip. "Call me as soon as you get there." She said and kissed Jacob's cheek.

"I will." Jacob said as he kissed her back. He turned quickly and wrapped his arm around my waist. We walked out the door and Derek went pale.

"You ok?" I asked as Jacob pulled me towards my dad's car.

"I will be." He breathed deeply.

"Don't pass out on me, kid. Let's get to LA in one piece." Jacob mumbled as he threw my bag in the back seat and held the door open for Derek. His arm stayed locked around me. I looked back at my house and saw my parents holding each other as they watched me. They seemed to be holding each other back more than actually holding each other close. That was a scene I didn't particularly want to see. Both of them refusing to let the other come after me.

"Come on." Jacob whispered in my ear. He must have saw what I saw. Jacob helped me into the front seat. I never took my eyes off my parents until Jacob spun the tires and we were speeding towards Derek's house.

"Ness, stop fidgeting!" Jacob glared at me out the corner of his eye. We were at the check in counter and I couldn't sit still. I was too nervous. Derek was surprisingly the calm one. He leaned against the bags as he watched Jacob.

"Sorry," I mumbled.

"Come here." He chuckled slightly and wrapped his arm around me.

"She nervous about flying?" The woman behind the desk asked Jacob.

"Yes, that's exactly what it is." Jacob said quickly.

"Don't worry, dear. Flying is perfectly safe." The woman assured me.

Even when you have an Italian army of vampires after you? I put the thought in Jacob's mind and he tightened his arm around me.

Once we got to our gate I sat between Derek and Jacob. I pulled Jacob's arm onto my lap and wrapped my arms around it and rested my head on his shoulder. I felt his body relax under my touch. This felt normal, it felt… right. I felt Jacob's cheek resting on my head. If I turned my head slightly… his lips would brush up against my cheek. And if I lifted my chin… my lips would touch his. I bit my bottom lip to try and keep the tingling down. My parents would not be happy if they sent me away with Jacob for protection and came back a couple. I was vaguely aware of being toward towards the plane. Once again Jacob had his arm around me.

The first class seats were comfortable, plus I had Jacob by my side. My dad had reserved the front two rows of seats so we had some privacy. That was my dad. Always going beyond what was necessary. Derek was jumping from seat to seat, not sure which one he wanted to sit it.

"I could sit behind you guys… or over here! How about across from you?"

"Derek, I don't care if you sit in coach, just sit!" Jacob hissed.

"Sorry, this is so cool!"

"May I get you something to drink before take off, Sir?" The flight attendant asked Jacob and I. We were the first on the plane and we had a while before the other sections were boarded.

"Look, I can lounge across the seats and my feet don't even touch the edge!" Derek said excitedly.

"Er, Jack and Coke…" Jacob looked over towards Derek and sighed. "Make that a double." He handed the woman his fake ID and she handed it back to him.

"Anything for you?" She asked me.

"No thanks." I smiled.

"Coke please! Do I get the whole can? I went to Florida with my family last year and we sat in coach. They only gave me a dinky cup… do I get a dinky cup?"

"You have to excuse him," Jacob snapped. "He was dropped on his head before we got here."

I couldn't help but laugh.

"Not funny." Derek reached over and slapped my arm.

"Watch it." Jacob warned.

I elbowed Jacob in the ribs.

"I will get your Coke and your drink." The woman smiled before she walked away.

Jacob sipped at his drink and I couldn't help but feel guilty. It made him look his age. Even though Jacob wasn't aging, he should be almost thirty-years-old right now. The drink in his hand proved he wasn't sixteen anymore. Why would he want someone like me? I'm probably just a kid in his eyes. I stiffened and leaned away from him.

"You ok?" He asked as he watched my movement confusingly.

"Fine." I groaned and hugged my knees to my chest.

The flight seemed to last forever. Once we landed in Oklahoma Jacob led the way out of the airport. My dad had made other plans for our luggage to continue by air to LA and someone was going to transport it to our hotel. Mr. Thorough, always on top of things. That's Edward Cullen.

"Hey Ness!" Quil was the first to wrap his arms around me. "Claire says hi. She all but begged on her knees to come."

"How did you say no?" Jacob asked and laughed.

"Easy, she's safer right where she is. She's staying with Emily and Sam."

"How are you two?" I asked as we walked towards the forest.

"Claire and I? We're great!"

"Oh," Was all I could say. I caught Quil look over my head at Jacob, but I didn't see Jacob's face. I was looking at Leah pacing in the woods. She must have wanted to stay connected to the others in La Push. She nudged Jacob's arm with her nose.

"Hey Leah." Jacob patted her shoulder and shrugged out of his shirt.

I suddenly remembered Derek. He has never seen a werewolf, and he didn't know Jacob was one. I turned to see Derek starring wide-eyed at Leah. She paid no attention to him. Her tongue rolled out the side of her mouth and she smiled her wolf grin at me.

"Hi Leah. Sorry you had to be dragged into this." I mumbled.

She shook her head and dipped her head over my shoulder. I hugged her and I heard Derek gasp.

"She wont hurt her." Jacob chuckled. "That's her… well that's her Aunt." You've seen her Grandpa Swan, right?"

Derek nodded. "Well Leah's mother is married to him. Sue."

"Oh, yeah, I know Sue. That's her daughter?"

"Yes, that's Leah. Seth is also a werewolf. That's Renesmee Uncle and Leah's brother."

"Are things going to get any weirder?" Derek whispered.

"They could be." Quil laughed.

"Ok, Ness, you will ride of my back and Derek you can go on Quil. Leah doesn't like passengers." Jacob punched her shoulder and she growled at him.

Derek hesitated, but Let Jacob help him onto Quil's back. Jacob walked away to phase and he came back and bowed down in front of me. I climbed onto his back and leaned forward, wrapping my arms around his neck. Oddly, this comforted me.

We ran for hours until we reached the forest's edge outside of LA. The three of them phased back and dressed in clothes they had stashed here already. Things were more planned out than I thought. When the three of them walked back into view Jacob and Quil were in nice jeans and polo shirts. Leah was in a blouse and slacks with heals. That was something you don't see everyday.

"Here," Jacob said and threw a dress at me and jeans and a button up shirt at Derek. "Get changed." Jacob pointed to the trees just out of his view. "We'll be right here."

I changed quickly and ran my fingers through my hair as I walked back towards the others. Jacob was holding out a brush and he smiled. "You're mother knows you like the back of her hand." He laughed. He was right. She knew I couldn't be away from a brush for very long. Especially after riding on a werewolves back.

The hotel was even prettier than I imagined. It had to have been at least ten stories high.

"Dang, is this where we're staying?" Derek gasped.

"That's Edward." Jacob groaned. "Only the best for his princess." He teased and pushed me lightly.

"Hey, you're staying here too." I threw back at him.

Jacob and Leah checked in. Apparently we had the penthouse on the top floor. This was overboard.

There were two rooms, a full kitchen, living room, and a balcony overlooking the city. It was beautiful, but I couldn't forget why I was here. Why we all were here. Outside on the balcony was a Jacuzzi built right into the floor.

"I want to go in!" Derek yelled from behind me. He tugged at my arm. "Come on Renesmee! Come in with me."

"Come on, we'll all go in. We've ran for almost six hours." Quil patted Jacob's back. They exchanged a look I don't think I was meant to see.

"Do we have bathing suites?" I asked.

"Yes, I already knew that was here. There is a pool on the roof also."

"No way!" Derek cheered.

"Chill." Jacob warned him.

Leah led me to where our room would be. Since we were the only girls I knew the other three were to share the other room. Either that or Quil and Jacob fully gave it to Derek. I wasn't sure. Leah walked into our bathroom and changed, while I stayed in the room and changed. We were the last ones outside. Derek was poking at all the buttons making the bubbles start and stop.

"I'll drowned you if you do that again." Jacob warned him.

"Sorry," Derek smirked and sat down.

The warm water felt good. Plus it was warmer sitting between Jacob and Leah. Jacob's arm was resting behind me and I couldn't help but lean into his side. He didn't seem to mind. He even shifted closer to me, his arm moved to my shoulders. My heart skipped a beat when his fingers traced designs on my upper arm. I had no control over my arm the moved under the water. My heart beat quicker when I realized it came to rest on his leg. Jacob, once again relaxed under my touch. Jacob's leg moved and I notice Quil jump lightly.

"Derek, you want to see the pool?"

"Yeah!" Derek followed Leah and Quil back into the penthouse. Quil winked and shut the curtain.

I knew exactly what was going on. Jacob's heart was beating just as fast as mine. Of course for him that wasn't a good thing. We were silent for a moment and the quiet felt good. I have never been alone with a guy like this, but with Jacob I wasn't scared. I hated the fact that he was supposed to be a lot older than me, but if he wanted me than I wasn't going to fight it.

"Nessie, I am truly sorry you had to find out about this whole imprinting thing like you did." Jacob whispered. "I don't ever want to hurt you. I wont ever hurt you. I'm not one for saying the right words, but I don't know how much longer I can fight this. I'm being as patient as I can, but when I see you… when I look at you…" Jacob stared at the stars above our heads, his arm tightened around my shoulders. I reached across our bodies with my right hand and placed my hand on his cheek, moving his face so he was looking at me. I heard his breath catch as soon as his eyes looked into mine. I felt it too, I could see our entire future in his eyes, my protector standing by my side forever. Every single guy I have ever thought was good looking disappeared from my head. I could no longer see their faces, remember their names. My whole world shifted in one instant. It no longer spun on it's own. It revolved around Jacob's. We were no longer two people. I could feel the ties bonding us together. Was this it? Was this how Claire felt? How Sam and Emily felt? Paul and Rachel? I sure hope so because Jacob's face was the only thing I could see in my future.

Jacob leaned in slightly and I followed. It was like he was pulling me in, when he moved I had to move. We were no longer two individuals.

"I don't want to force you into anything. I don't want to make you…" I couldn't help myself. His voice sent waves of warmth through my entire body. His sentence trailed off as I brushed my lips up against his. The water suddenly felt cold as it rippled against my skin. Jacob breathed deeply and I felt his breath on my lips. His hands slid up my back, to my neck, and rested on my cheeks. I followed his movement, and pressed my lips to his. Fireworks went off in my heard and butterflies swirled around in my stomach. I didn't want this kiss to ever end. It seemed that Jacob felt the same way. His right arm slid down my side and wrapped around my waist. He was finally mine.
