Jacob escorted me out of the house, refusing to let me go. A smile spread widely across his lips. Why was he so happy at a time like this? I know I was fine, and he was relieved at that, but my best friend was in a lot of pain because of me.

"What is your problem?" I asked.

Jacob picked me up as soon as we were out of the house. He walked to my house with me cradled against his chest.

"I can't be happy?"

"Not when Derek's in so much pain." I closed me eyes and hid my face in his shirt.

"He's going to be fine, Ness. Your family knows what they're doing."

Jacob entered the house and didn't stop until he was in my room. He laid me down on my bed, his face inches from mine.

"Do you know how scared I was?" His breath swept across my face.

"Me too," I whispered. "I'm sorry, Jake."

His finger came down on my lips to silence me. "They call it an accident for a reason. What happened?"

"Derek wanted to drive, so I let him. He thought he could drive fast, but he lost control around the turn," I paused realizing I didn't remember anything else.

"Do you know what happened after he lost control?"

I shook me head.

Jacob took a deep breath. "It was upside down, I couldn't even recognize it…" He trailed off as he wiped a tear before it fell down his cheek. "I didn't see how they could pull either of you out alive. I thought I would never look into those beautiful brown eyes again. Or see you smile at me, yell at me for something stupid that I did," he paused and touched my cheek. "I felt like part of me was ripped away. I'm not whole unless I have you by my side."

"I'm ok, Jake." I assured him.

He reached up and touched the bandage on my forehead, his fingertips brushed over me as he trailed his hand down my left arm to my splint. He continued down my body and gripped the hem of my shirt, yanking it up to reveal the bandage wrapped around my torso.

He grunted. "Yeah, Nessie, you're fine."

I rolled my eyes. "It's just bandages, I'm still breathing, my hearts still beating. Therefore I'm fine." Jacob's head tilted to the side as he listened to my heart.

"Yes, it's beating all right, the most beautiful sound I have ever heard."

"Derek's isn't." I whispered.

My smile faded slowly and Jacob noticed. His hand moved to my face and he touched the corner of my lips. "You really care about him, don't you."

"He's my best friend," I shrugged.

"He'll be ok, it'll only last a few days. Then he'll be as good as new."

I tugged at Jacob's arms to make him lay next to me. When he did I curled into his side. "So, tell me," I smiled against his shirt.

His arms tightened around me and I heard his heart speed up. "Tell you what?"

"What did you ask my dad before we left?"

Jacob fell silent. I looked up at him and he was staring at the ceiling. I leaned up on my elbow to get a better view of his face. His eyes slowly fell to my face and he smiled.

"You know how much I love you, right?"

"Yes," I nodded.

He sat us both up on the bed and stared into my eyes. "I realized tonight that I can't live a single moment without you by my side. I need you like I need the air in my lungs. Stay with me forever--marry me, Renesmee."

I gasped and slid away from him. The pain from my ribs caused me to wrap my arm around my torso. "That couldn't be what you asked him."

"It was, I asked for your hand and he heard my thoughts on exactly how I felt. I agree, I didn't think he was going to be that easy about it, but we all have been through a lot tonight."

I blinked and the tears streamed down my face, dropping to the comforter below.

"So, what do you say?"

"I'm not even out of high school yet…"

"You don't have to marry me tomorrow. We're not your parents. There's no deadline. I just want to make sure you're mine."

I smiled through my tears. "Marry you," I giggled and leaned in to kiss him. This kiss was different, he lips moved eagerly over mine. His tongue traced my bottom lips, sending chills down my spine. I held him closer to me. Carefully, he wrapped his arm around me and my head rested against a pillow. My hands slid up his shirt and I could feel every muscle as I made my way up to his neck. I lifted my hands and he broke the kiss to let me pull his shirt over his head. Was he really going to let this happen? His hands clamped around my hips, then gripped the hem of my shirt, swiftly pulling it over my head. That answered my question.

"Ness," Jacob's voice shook. He pulled away and I held him as tight as I could.

"Don't," I begged. "I'm yours, forever."

With a moan, Jacob's lips were on mine again and the rest of our clothes were sprawled across the room.

My eyes opened and Jacob's fingertips were moving lightly up and down my spine. I smiled against his chest and he moved slightly under me. "I thought you were going to sleep all day." His voice made my heart skip a beat. I didn't know it was possible, but I loved him even more. Jacob and I were bonded together even more deeply then the imprint. I knew my father would be disappointed, but I didn't regret anything about last night.

"What time is it?"

"Afternoon," Jacob looked over our heads and out my window.

I tried to get up, but I couldn't peel myself away from him. I could stay in his arms like this forever.

"I think we should get up, someone should be checking up on you soon." Jacob sighed. I knew he didn't want to move either.

"Ok," I sighed and sat up. I blushed when I caught Jacob looking at me.

"Do you know how beautiful you are?"

"Yeah," I snorted. "The bandage really doesn't help." I pointed to my ribs.

Jacob laughed and sat up to help me take them off so I could take a shower.

When I got out he was already dressed and his hair was wet.

"You already took a shower?" I asked, reaching up to touch his wet hair.

"Yeah, I used the guest bathroom on the first floor."

"I could have shared." I said and wrapped my arms around his waist. Jacob blushed and held his hand over my mouth.

"Renesmee," my dad's voice floated up the stairs.

"Oh, no," I mumbled against his hand.

Jacob smiled and kissed my cheek. "He just wants to talk to you. I'll be over at Esme and Carlisle's."

I nodded, confused, and walked slowly down the stairs. I stopped on the last step and Jacob maneuvered around me. My dad stiffened, but smiled at Jacob as he walked past him. Was I in some freaky dream?

My dad waited until the door shut behind Jacob before he looked at me. His eyes quickly dropped to the floor in front of him.

"Dad, I'm so--" I started, but he was suddenly in front of me, his hand over my mouth.

"Do not apologize for something you don't regret. I'm not mad. I'm not disappointed. I know his feelings for you and I told him yes because I know exactly what he was feeling," he took my hand and led me into the living room. We sat on the couch and I refused to look at him. "Sweetie, you and Jacob remind me so much of your mother and I before we got married. There was many times when I thought I lost Bella. It terrified me and I realized I needed to be with her forever, no matter the cost. That's exactly what was going through Jacob's mind. I couldn't tell him no. But I don't want to lose you either."

"You're not," I pressed. "I'm not going anywhere." I watched him closely. He had to start flipping out soon. This was not like him.

My dad must have read the confusion on my face because he smirked and folded his arms across his chest. "What's wrong? Not the reaction you were expecting?"

I snorted. "No."

He fell serious and reached out to touch my cheek. "I don't know what I would have done if I lost you tonight, and I understand exactly what Jacob would have done. He was thinking about it. He can't live without you, and I thought the same thing when your mother was in danger. Relax, you're not going to get yelled at. You're a big girl and capable of making your own choices. Do I wish you waited? Sure, but what father out there would say otherwise."

"Does mom know?"

He nodded. I should have figured he wouldn't keep it from her. I wondered how she would react to Jacob.

"So, please tell me you're not going to get married until after you graduate."

"I wont," I nodded.

"Thank you," he pulled me close and hugged me.

"How's Derek?" I asked.

"He's in pain, but it will be over soon. You're mother did great. He'll be strong and healthy. Alice can see him clearly."

I laughed lightly. "It's a boy," I chuckled. It did sound like she was giving birth. She might as well be. Derek was my brother, not related by blood, but through my mother. My father's venom runs through her veins, she gave birth to me, and now her venom runs through Derek's veins. So technically she was his mother too. She just gave birth to him in a different way.

"You're ok with Derek becoming your brother?"

"Of course," I said quickly. "Can I see him?"

My dad shook his head. "Not right now, I don't want you to see him in this kind of pain."

"Ok," I sighed.

"But you can go to the house. He's quieted down, but you are to stay out of the room."

I nodded.

I walked into the house just as my mom was walking down the stairs. She looked at Jacob and he refused to look back at her. She continued over to me and hugged me.

"How are you feeling?" She asked, her hands moving to my bandages, but I knew the real meaning behind the question.

"Perfectly fine…" I answered both meanings to her question. "How's Derek?"

"Quiet," she breathed and looked back at Jacob. He glanced away when he noticed her watching him. A deep growl rumbled in her chest.

"Bella," my dad stepped around me and grabbed her around her waist, but she quickly shrugged him off.

"I have work to do," she mumbled impatiently, before stomping off towards the back door. She brushed past Jacob and his head dropped in shame. He hurt her, we all knew it. His head snapped up as he composed himself and reached for her.

"Bella--" he began, but she was already out the door, slamming it behind her. Jacob took off after her, I stepped forward to follow him, but my dad's hands were suddenly restraining me.

"No, let him go. They need to talk." He explained.

I nodded, and looked at the door as it shut behind Jacob.
