The diner was, for all intents and purposes, a cozy little cliché, all chrome and neon on the outside with the matching generic sign that says nothing but Diner.
Jake and Renesmee walk into the diner take their seats, Jake looking with concern at Renesmee, who was practically shaking. "It'll be alright," Jacob said in a comforting tone. "Alice will want to help and we both know Jasper doesn't take sides unless prompted into it. You have nothing to fear."
"I know... it's just that I don't think that they'll be all right with…" Renesmee trailed off while placing a hand over her stomach. She sighs and says "Don't get me wrong, I'd love to be a mother, and all, but I'm not sure how everyone will take it that you and I have… ya know?"
"This is your decision, if you want me here, I'll stay, if you don't, I'll go, and if you want to put it off we can put it off." Jacob said as he wrapped his arm around Renesmee.
"No, I need to tell someone else about us…" Renesmee replied as she cuddled closer to Jake, "and we can't have him in secret, cause either way Carlisle will find out at the hospital and the Quileutes aren't exactly friendly to me… GAAH I should have told grampa Carlisle first… I'm sorry I just don't want them to hurt you…"
"Everything will be okay…" Jacob soothed Renesmee. "All we need to do is keep calm an- they're here."
"Hey Renesmee, is everything ok?" Alice said as she hugged Renesmee. "Are you finally going to tell me that you've been seeing Jacob when Edward and Bella are on a hunting trip? Or are we going to keep denying that everyone already knows?"
"Hi Alice… umm… can you slow down a bit? And what's all this about everyone knows?" Renesmee said as she hugged Alice back, her face going from joy to confusion to dread as her brain processed what Alice said.
"Well, I should say everyone who has been paying attention knows, which really just means me and Jasper," Alice reassured Renesmee. "Don't worry, Ed and Bella don't know. I only know because I was hunting when you decided to have your little… umm… camping trip."
Renesmee starts to blush. "Oh, I was just… umm… ya I'm kind of embarrassed now."
Alice laughed. "Well I have to say I wasn't expecting to hear those kinds of things from an eight year old." Alice then turns to Jake with a slight glare in her eyes. "You however should be more mature and have waited till she was properly eighteen instead of just looking it."
Jake looks slightly ashamed and looks back at Alice with a slight, steely look in his eye, "I can't explain what the Imprint does… it's like… it's like all I want to do in this world is make her happy and be there for her and care for her however she needs me to care for her… but more than that… I just can't help but do what she asks when we are together."
Alice's temper dies down as she realizes that what Jacob says is true. "Still though… it's kinda creepy actually... I mean, that's got to give ped a whole new meaning…"
"Come on Alice, please just leave him alone. I wanted this… and… there's more…" Renesmee trailed off as she placed her hand over her stomach.
Sudden realization comes over Alice as she begins to understand the gravity of the situation. "You're afraid that the Volturi will get involved…" Alice whispered in shock. "I mean I know that this kind of thing could happen and all… but… you need to tell your mom and dad…"
Renesmee looks down in shame, "I know… but I'm scared… You said Jasper knows right?"
"Yes he does," Alice nodded, "Would you like to talk to him? He's in the car… He hasn't hunted in a while… so…"
"I understand… Can we get this over with as soon as possible? I'm kinda nervous enough as it is…" Renesmee said in a relieved fashion.
"Alright," Alice said with a clap, "let's go talk to Jasper."
The three of them walked out of the diner and over to Alice's shiny, yellow corvette, or at least as shiny as a corvette can be under the constant cloud cover Forks provides. Jacob headed over to his Rabbit, slightly envious of the car but not so much of the color.
As Renesmee came near the car a feeling of peace and tranquility washed over her. She opened the door to the back seat and said, "Thanks, Jasper, that really helps a lot, you have no idea…"
"No problem Renesmee," Jasper said with a slight feeling of concern for his beloved niece, "would you like me to do this when you tell them?"
"Yes please…" Renesmee said, somehow managing to sound weak through the cloud of serenity Jasper placed over her, "but can you just do your mood control thing on me? I don't think its fare to my parents"
"Okay… when were you planning on telling them?" Jasper asked.
"When they got back…" Renesmee said even weaker still.
Jasper looked back at Renesmee and said with care in his voice, "You don't have to do this now, you ca-"
"NO I'M GOING TO DO THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND IM TIRED OF PEOPLE ASKING ME WETHER OR NOT IM READY AND CAPABLE FOR THIS!" Renesmee screamed. As soon as she was finished, she blushed and said in a much calmer voice, "I'm sorry uncle Jasper, it's just that I'm… I'm afraid of the Volturi coming back…" the last part was barely a whisper.
Jasper nodded and sighed as he sent another wave of peace over his niece. "Alice, what do you think we should do?" Jasper asked.
"We should tell Carlisle and Esme before Edward and Bella get back," Alice said carefully, "Rosalie has always liked children, and Emmett will go along with Rosalie. I think if you have Carlisle on our side then you should be fine with Edward, even if he doesn't like it… Honestly, I think the biggest problem will be your mother, Renesmee. She never liked the idea of you growing up so fast, and when she found out that you and Jake Imprinted-"
Renesmee shuddered.
"…Sorry… I didn't mean to upset you…"
Renesmee shook her head, "Ya, I know, it's just it's hard for me to think about it. It's even harder when I think that that was just because he IMPRINTED on me… What will happen when she realizes…" Again Renesmee looks down at her stomach and folded her hand over her stomach.
Jaspers eyes widened. "You mean… but you… but he…" Jasper's expression changed from surprise to rage.
Though Renesmee's sight was nowhere near as good as a vampire's, she could see the scars from his former life. Those, coupled with his fury, made him look truly menacing. Renesmee cringed.
Jasper looks down at the floor, seeming to try to control himself. Finally, he looks back up at Renesmee, fury, though not fully gotten rid of, was at least under control. "I am sorry for that," he said, "I was just unaware of the whole predicament you were in… We're here. Alice, when will they be here?"
"We'll have time enough to talk to Carlisle and Esme, give Jacob a call and when he gets here have about 5 more minutes if everything goes well," Alice stated after a few seconds of consulting her visions. "We have to hurry though."
The talk with Carlisle and Esme went the same way as anyone would expect. After the initial shock, that Carlisle took very well, he asked if that was what she wanted, and if so, he'd help. Esme, though happy to have another baby around the house and a new member of the family, was slightly angry that her granddaughter hadn't waited longer, but in the end everything worked itself out, and Jacob was called.
Jacob walked in and said, "Alright… are you ready?"
Renesmee nodded and weakly said, "Yes, I'm ready."
Jasper sent another wave of serenity through the room to cool everyone's nerves and they all turned towards the door. Waiting…
