I'm home! I'll be back to updateing like I normally do. I will be working on Alyssa's POV while I work on updating my other stories. The POV will be posted on my forum. I'll let you know when it's up there. I also wanted to the the time and thank all the people who send me reviews from my A/N I wrote about me on vacation. The support all of you provide me just blows me away. I couldn't ask for a better group of readers. Thank you for your patience, and my vacation was great, but it's just as great being back home and writing lol.

"You're late." Derek mumbled from the couch in the living room. He didn't look up from his hand-held game he was playing.

"Late for what?" I asked, pausing at the front door. Jacob and I just got back from our run. Actually, we did run-more like race-around the city. I won, of course.

"It's passed sundown." He let go of the game with one hand, pointing towards the windows.

"B and E are going to yell." He twisted his hand and pointed to the ceiling.

"B and E?" My mom asked as she walked down the stairs with my dad behind her.

"Bella and Edward. I was concentrating on the game… didn't want to say your whole names. And look!" He yelled tossing the game across the room- something he did whenever he loses. "You made me die!" He looked up at my mom laughing. "No wait, you didn't let me die." He chuckled at himself.

"Shows how smart you are, leech." Jacob laughed behind me. "If you want to abbreviate their names, it would be I and E."

Derek stood up, bending over as he laughed. "Okay, dog-brains, Bella does not start with an I."

"Derek, my full name is Isabella." My mom informed him.

Derek gasped loudly and backed up as he stared wide-eyed at my mom. "You're name isn't Bella?"

"No, it is, I prefer Bella over my full name."

"Wow," Jacob snickered behind me.

"I can't believe this." Derek shook his head, pursing his lips. "You think you know someone…" He took a deep breath before looking at my dad. "I supposed your nickname is Edward… what is that short for?" He looked up at the ceiling as he thought about it. "Edwardiarder…bob?"

"That's not even a word." Jacob laughed.

"Yes it is! I just spoke it, therefore it's a word. Duh!" Derek rolled his eyes. "Jeez, Ness, where did you find this guy?" His expression changed as he stared at me. "What about your name? Nessie short for anything… oh wait!" He cut himself off. "Renesmee… I knew that." He snorted, then spun back to glare at my mom. "Anymore secrets?" He asked folding his arms against his chest.

"It wasn't a secret, Derek." My mom giggled.

"Then how come I never knew you had this whole other name?"

"Son, it's not a whole other name, its just her full name." My dad tried explaining to him, but Jacob interrupted him.

"Edward, he'll never understand. You're talking to the worlds slowest vampire."

"Me?" Derek asked.

I couldn't help but laugh at him. I was glad he still had his personality from when he was human. He was always able to make me laugh without having to try.

"So can we stop having the attention on me for a while and notice the fact that Renesmee is out passed the time you wanted her home?"

My parents shrugged at the same time. "No, she's engaged to be married, it's not like she was out with someone we didn't know." My dad winked at me and sat down on the couch, pulling my mom down on his lap.

"And here I was thinking this moment would be better then cable. I'm going to my room. There is a fly on my wall more interesting than what's going on down here." He started walking towards the stairs and stopped, turning back to face me. "By the way, Alice wanted to talk to you."

"Me?" I asked, pointing to myself.

"Are we going to go through this again?" Jacob chuckled behind me, nudging me with his elbow. I turned around and glared at him.

"Why does she want to talk to me?" I asked Derek.

"She wanted to ask you something about the wedding." He said and walked up to his room.

"Mom?" I asked. I couldn't help but sound a little worried. I thought everything for the wedding was planned out already.

She quickly shook her head, smiling at me. "Nothing too big, she just wants to know if you prefer a mixture of flowers, or a specific kind."

"She doesn't already know? She never had to ask you." I asked, alarmed. Aunt Alice is never unsure of something when it comes to planning a party. My eyes flickered to my father when I heard him trying to cover up his laugh.

He cleared his throat when he saw me watching him. "Alice never asked your mother because… well mainly because she would have never answered her, and also because your mother had no idea what the set up looked like, plus Alice had a pretty good idea what your mother would choose. She can't see what your decisions would be."

"Glad she's not doing that to me." I mumbled. I wanted a chance to choose all of my floral decorations, and everything else. My wedding was going to be just as elegant as I always dreamed it would be.

"No," my dad shook his head. "Alice knows you're actually excited about all the planning. One thing that separates you from your mother." He leaned over and kissed my mom's cheek.

She didn't have anything to say. She couldn't argue with him this time. He was right. We all knew it.

I turned to face Jacob. "What were you in the wedding?" I asked, remembering from the video that I didn't see him anywhere.

My mom and Jacob both stiffened at the same time. My father's eyes fell to the floor.

"What did I say?" I whispered. I could actually feel the room's temperature become a few degrees colder.

"I was only there for a little while." Jacob muttered through clenched teeth. His arms snaking around my waist.

"Why?" I asked.

"Ness…" Jacob trailed off, shaking his head.

"Oh," was all I could say. I was almost certain I understood the cause of the tension between my parents and Jacob.

"Yeah," Jacob and my mom breathed.

"But you were there for a little while?" I asked him. I wanted to end the conversation, but I was too curious. It was a horrible habit I had to work on.

Jacob nodded. "I wasn't around for a while when the wedding was being planned. I didn't want to be around." He paused as he swallowed loudly. "I fought with myself on whether or not to come. My heart got the best of me and I showed up-"

"Because of me." I pointed out. I didn't want this conversation to remind me of the times my mom and Jacob spent together before I was born.

"Yes, but you weren't even thought of then, so again, we had no idea it was you." he swallowed again. "We danced for a little while and I left."

I noticed my dad nod once, too quick for him to want me to catch it. I pretended I didn't see anything. It only meant there was more that wasn't said. I didn't mind because it bothered me that Jacob thought my mother was the only woman for him. I shuddered.

"Isn't that like, gross?" Derek asked, poking his head around the corner of the stairs. "This all sounds like some horrible Jerry Springer show. Sorry, I was listening… the fly got boring."

"Can you shut up?" I snapped.

"Seriously! Like Jacob and Isabella sitting on stage, and then you come out starting a chick fight with your own mother… and to make it even better, you're mother looks like your dang sister! Oh, can I write to Jerry?"

"You do and I take your arm off." Jacob and my mom snapped. My dad and I growled at him.

Derek nodded to himself. "Mmhmm… I see that's a touchy subject. I think I might stop talking about it now."

"I think that's a good idea." My dad grumbled.

"Are we going hunting tonight?" I was happy that Derek changed the subject.

"No, we just went last night." My mom chuckled.

"But I want seconds… or maybe dessert?"

"You don't need to hunt again."

"I can feel my eyes changing as we speak. Are they black yet?"

"Gold." My dad sighed. "They're perfectly fine."

"Go chase a squirrel or something." Jacob mumbled.

Derek stood there starring through me to Jacob. I tensed for him to say something smart back to Jacob, but his face relaxed and he smiled. "Are they any good?" He asked, tapping his chin with his finger.

My dad scrunched up his nose, but smoothed out his face before Derek noticed. "I… I'm not even going to say anything because you're going to keep asking until you try it. I have never tried it, but you go have fun. Stay low behind the fence." My dad glanced at my mom and they both tried not to laugh as Derek bounded for the back door.

"It's dark out…" Jacob trailed off, rolling his eyes. "Come on, you probably have homework."

I nodded. "You're probably right."

I said goodnight to my parents and took Jacob's hand, leading him up to my room. He lounged across my bed as I piled my books on my desk.

"How was school today?" He asked, smirking.

I turned to face him, narrowing my eyes. "Are you kidding me?"

"No." His smile faded as he waited for me to answer him.

I took a deep breath. "It was great."

"That's all?" He raised an eyebrow as he stood up and leaned over me.

"Y-yes." I stuttered. I was lost somewhere in his eyes.

"What did you have for lunch?" He giggled, but tried desperately to hide it.

"Er… I… don't remember." I couldn't. Not because I was with Luke, but because I was lost somewhere in Jacob's dark eyes.

"Why can't you remember?" He demanded.

I didn't speak. I crushed my lips to his and I felt his twist into a smile.

"Just the answer I wanted." He mumbled against my lips.

I wrapped my arms around his waist, trailing my fingers around the waist of his jeans. Of course he was still shirtless from our run; his bare back was warm against my fingertips. I was half expecting my father to come up and stop us, but it was Jacob's phone that broke the kiss. He kept his right arm around me as he reached into his back pocket to answer it with his other.

"Hello?" He spoke, kissing my forehead. "This is him." I watched his eyebrows become one straight line across his forehead as he listened to the man talking on the other end of the line. I listened closely to the other end of the conversation as Jacob backed us up to my bed.

"Hello, Mr. Black. This is Cody Bailey, from Bailey Construction. I've received your resume and would love to have you on our team."

"That would be great!" Jacob held me tighter, his voice rising with excitement.

I waited patiently while they finished their conversation. Apparently he was new to the construction business and was looking for someone like Jacob. Who wouldn't want to hire him as their right hand man. He was certainly strong enough to do any job on the field. Why he thinks he needs a job, I wouldn't know.

"Jake," I said after he hung up, his excitement died down, and his smile faded slightly from his lips. "You're going to work?" I asked him.

"Yes." He said flatly. The excitement drained quickly from his face. "We've been though this Renesmee, I'm not sitting at home while you bath in the money that's handed to you, and go off to work every day, making money you don't need to make."

I opened my mouth to yell at him, but snapped it shut. He was right, but not about everything. "I'm going to college to make my parents happy. I don't need to work once I graduate. You don't either. My family works because they get bored sitting home all day."

"Why do you think I want to work?" Jacob rolled his eyes. "I don't want to sit at home all day either. Ness, you do what you want. I'm going to do what I want. Let me pretend I'm going to provide for our family."

"What family." I muttered, hugging my knees to my chest.

"Ours…" He said warily as he stared at me. "What's with the face?" He asked, touching his fingertips to my pouting lips.

"I'm going to stop growing soon… like really soon. When I stop aging there goes my opportunity to carry a baby."

"We don't know that." Jacob whispered. I knew he was trying desperately to hide the fear in his voice, but I could see it clearly in his eyes. He wants a family I probably couldn't give him.

I looked away from him, trying to keep the tears from escaping. "Jacob, there have been a few times we weren't… careful. Nothing's happened. I probably can't even conceive."

"Rome wasn't built in a day, and I think it's a good thing that nothing's happened yet. I'd like to be alive when I marry you."

I couldn't help but laugh. He had a point. My dad would have gone insane if I told him I was pregnant.

"Can we worry about it when the time comes?" Jacob begged, his lips brushed across my neck. His tongue was warm on my skin.

"Worry about what?" I asked breathlessly.

He giggled against my shoulder, pulling my shirt down to kiss me there.

"Why are you laughing at me?" It was almost impossible for me to get the words out.

"I love seeing your reactions when I kiss you." He laughed again when my body shivered after his lips swept across my collarbone.

"Jacob, the vet called. Is it time for your neutering already?" Derek asked, pounding on my door.

I went to scream at him, but my dad must have known. He spoke from the living room before my screams could escape my lips.

"I sent him up there, Ness."

"Yeah, this time the smart comment didn't come from my brain! That one was all Edward!" Derek swung open my door and bowed. "Thank you, I taught him everything I know."

"You did not!" My dad yelled.

"Don't deny it. We all know Mr. Professional would never come up with something that awesome."

"Can you both stop? I can't wait to have a house of my own!" I screeched.

"I better get going anyway. You have class in the morning, and I have to go meet my new boss."

"Jake-" I was cut off by Jacob's lips. His moved fiercely over mine, making my head spun out of control.

"Love you." He smiled and walked out of my room.

Love you too. I said, placing the words in his head. I wasn't sure if I could trust my voice.
