For those of you who haven't seen it yet, I posted a picture of Renesmee's dress on the SickLionDumbLamb Forum. It's posted in the fanfiction section, under Restless Heart.

I couldn't get through the door fast enough. I was neck to neck with my mom until we got to the door. She was faster. Her high pitched laugh filled the front room and mine followed. I knew she was holding out on me, and that it was only a matter of time before she flew past me.

If my aunts were already home, I could guarantee our door would have been widened to allow five of us through at the same time. Luckily it was just my mom and I, but being that I only have half the speed she does, she make it through the door a split second before I did.

I ignored my parents in the corner somewhere greeting the other. My focus was on the man grinning from ear to ear in front of me. His arms raised as I took the few seconds to marvel over the man that will soon be my husband. I took the two small steps that would place me in his arms. My whole body melted into his. We were only gone for a few days, and they did seem to go by quick when we were on the plane coming home. But now that time suddenly seemed to have dragged on forever. It felt like these arms haven't held me in years. I swallowed the tears that threatened to pour from my eyes. I closed my eyes and lifted my head. I didn't need to give any more hints of what I needed now. Jacob seemed to want it more than me. His lips crashed down on mine, causing me to stumble backwards, but his arms tightened around me and brought me right back to him.

"Welcome home." I heard my dad whisper somewhere from inside the house. I broke away from Jacob to look around the front room, but we were alone.

"What?" Jacob mumbled against my neck.

"I thought we had company." I giggled.

Jacob's lips froze on my neck as if he suddenly remembered my parents also and he lifted his head to look around the room. "They move fast." I felt his shudder in my arms and then my dad's laughter floated in from the living room.

"Right here, we didn't go far."

I unwound myself from Jacob's arms and realized I did miss my dad, too. I pulled Jacob behind me as I walked into the living room. My parents were sitting, curled into each other, on the couch. My dad slid my mom's leg off his lap and stood up, crossing the room to meet me in the middle.

"And welcome home." He smiled, leaning down and wrapping his arms around me.

"Good to be home, dad." I sighed.

"You're really going to keep the dress from me to?" He asked, reaching up and tapping my forehead.

I shook my head. "You're not hearing anything." I knew it was not traditional to do it that way, but I was a very untraditional person. My dad means a lot to me, and I knew I meant even more to him, so I want my wedding day to be just as special for him as it is for Jacob and I. After all, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him… literally. My mom fought to keep me alive inside her, but when things took a turn for the worst and she could barely keep herself alive. It was my father that left my mom's life in Jacob's hands for the few seconds it took him to save my life. Also, not to mention the fact that if he didn't fulfill my mom's wishes while they were on their honeymoon, I wouldn't be here in the first place. In the end, I have more to give back to my father than anyone else in this room.

"So stubborn." He shook his head slowly, but his smile lit up his face.

I shrugged and stepped back, out of his arms, and back into Jacob's.

My dad turned and pointed to my mom. She jumped to her feet, holding her hands up in the air.

"I had nothing to do with her decision. She decided this all on her own. And no, Edward, I'm not going to give you any hints of what the dress looks like, or how she looks in it." My mom leaned around my dad and winked at me.

"I really hate when the two of you team up against me. It's like fighting the only wall on this planted that I cant break through." The words sounded like he should be frustrated, but his face said otherwise. His lips haven't relaxed out of the smile he wore since we got home. He was having fun. My mom seemed to feed off of his attitude when he's this happy. I've never seen someone smile so big, the way she does when he's in this kind of mood.

"Need help unpacking?" Jacob asked me, his lips at my ear. A warm chill ran down my spine. I couldn't believe how much I missed his voice. Talking to him on the phone was nothing compared to seeing his lips move as he spoke, or feeling his warm breath spread his scent across my face as the words left his mouth.

"Yes, please."

He leaned down and picked up my bag. I followed him up to my room.

"Ness," my mom called after me. "You want me to make you something to eat, or do you want to hunt?" Her voice grew louder as she walked to the bottom of the stairs, looking up at me. I turned around and stared at her wide-eyed.

"Are you asking me if I want to eat human food over hunting?"

"Just asking, wasn't sure if you wanted to stay in or not. You've done a lot of traveling." She had a point. I was exhausted, or the human in me was. The vampire parts were screaming for the blood my mother offered. I could hold off sleep for a few hours. The fire in my throat ripped out of control as I thought about it. I hated when I haven't hunted in a while and the burning got this bad. I stretched my neck to try and dim the pain. "You know what," my mom said cautiously. "You need to hunt more than I thought." She nodded to herself and stepped up on the first step. "You ok?"

I was scared to open my mouth and have flames pour out, so I nodded instead.

"We'll leave as soon as you're changed and unpacked." My dad appeared behind my mom, seeing what she saw written on my face. I saw his eyes flicker to Jacob behind me, then back to my face. I admit, his scent and the feeling of his heartbeat behind me wasn't helping, but it was Jacob. My own heartbeat was pounding in my ears. Didn't mean I was going to suck my own blood.

"Give me ten minutes." I spun and darted up the stairs ahead of Jacob.

Jacob helped me unpack and he sat on the bottom of my bed watching me change. The hunting trip was heavy on my mind and I didn't realize we haven't seen each other in a while. I froze with my shirt in my hands and dropped it to the floor.

Jacob lifted his hands and laid them flat on my stomach, letting them slide slowly to my back, and pulled me against him. His head moved too slow towards my stomach. The burning left my throat and spread through my entire body. His lips made contact with my skin just above my bellybutton. Leaving his lips against my skin he whispered, "I missed you."

Without giving my arms or hands permission, they reached for his hair, keeping his lips where they were. "I missed you, too."

"I would ask you if you really need to go hunting, but I understand." He was still stronger than me, he was able to pull his head away from my stomach despite the restrain from my hands.

"Stupid vampire parts." I grumbled as my throat ripped into flames once more.

"We can go on our own hunting trip." He suggested. Why didn't I think of that?

The spark in my eyes and my smile must have given my answer away. He got to his feet. Pressing me against his body once more and kissing me with more force than my body was capable of handling. My legs turned to JELLO and I was glad his arms were wrapped tightly around me, or I would have sunk to the floor.

He held my weight with one hand and reached for my shirt with the other. I held up my arms and he slipped it over my head. I laughed at the disappointment on his face from having to put my shirt on.

"Let's hunt." He said, taking my hand and leading me down stairs.

"No further than Connecticut." My dad must have heard Jacob's thoughts. "We'll head south."

"No problem." I said excitedly and hugged both my parents before turning for the door.

Jacob paused, holding the door open for them, but neither one of my parents moved an inch. "Coming?"

They both nodded. "In a sec." My mom spoke quickly.

Jacob snorted and shook his head before slamming the door shut. He took my hand and we walked slowly towards the park down the road that would take us into the woods. "I think they were banking on us going off on our own." Jacob laughed.

"Probably." I said and slid my hand from his, running towards the woods.

"Wait up!" Jacob yelled behind him. I could hear his breathing getting closer as he caught up to me.

We hunted a few bears. I was done and waiting for Jacob to finish. I watched the muscles on his back move as his long, sharp teeth tore at the flesh of the bear underneath his paws. His tail whipped from side to side, excitedly as he ate. He sat down when he was finished and looked at me. I saw the words in his eyes. He was wondering if I was done.

I nodded and walked up to him, kissing his muzzle. I could taste the blood from his kill. While licking the blood off my lips, I swiped my finger over the blood in his fur and licked it off.

Jacob growled deeply as he watched me.

I gripped the hem on my shirt and he watched me yank it over my head. "Phase, Jake." I demanded.

He stood up on his hind legs and I watched his wolf body give way to my Jacob. Before he was finished he was moving towards me. Apparently he didn't want to waist any time. His paws shoved my shoulders back into a tree, but by the time my entire back was against the trunk, it was his hands gripping my shoulders. I waited until his lips were human before devouring them. I could still taste the blood from his kill. The dead leaves crumbled beneath me as we collapsed onto the forest floor.
