Okay, I know my next update shoudn't be until tomorrow, but I'm having some trouble writing My Everything, so I decided to post this update instead since I already had this one written. Yes, I have this story completely finished! All the chapters are written and tucked away on my computer ;). I did have more to this chapter, but I decided to take it out. It's nothing too much, but I will post it on my Twilight forum for those of you who want to read it. It's going to be in the fanfiction section, under Restless Heart!

Next chapter is the wedding! So get ready! Then it's one more chapter after that!

Also, I'm looking for moderators for my Host forum. If you're interested, please feel free to apply. The link to the site it on my profile.

When I woke up I was on the couch, a blanket draped over me. I groaned, rubbing the sleep from my eyes.

"How are you feeling?" Jacob asked. His warm fingers wrapping around my ankle. I moved my feet slightly, realizing they were on his lap.

"Rested." I croaked, yawning and stretching.

"We've been waiting for you to wake up." My dad said from the recliner on the other side of the living room. My mom nodded on his lap.

"Why? How long have I been sleeping?" I asked, sitting up and pulling my feet off Jacob's lap.

"Five hours." Derek said impatiently. I smiled when I saw the black in his eyes.

I stood up and kissed his cheek. "Sorry for making you wait. You're thirsty, you all are. You could have went on without me. Jacob and I would have caught up with you."

"This is the last time you're going hunting as Renesmee Cullen. We wanted to take you together." My mom said, getting off my dad's lap and wrapping her arms around me. My dad followed her, wrapping his arms around the both of us.

"Sorry," I repeated.

"You're awake now. Are you ready?" My dad asked. I could hear the strain in his voice. I didn't need to look at his eyes to know they were as dark as Derek's. My own thirst was uncomfortable.

"Mine," I hissed, spotting a bear walking in the woods in front of me.

My dad nodded, waited for me to hunt my dinner. My stomach was growling just as much as my throat was burning. I've never been hungry and thirsty at the same time.

The meat on the bears bones smelt just as appealing as the blood in his veins. I ignored my hunger, reminding myself that we were out here to hunt.

Jacob's fur rubbed against my arm and I glanced over at him.

"He wants to know if you're okay." My dad translated for me, although I didn't need my dad to tell me what Jacob was thinking. I could easily see the concern in his eyes.

I grabbed onto Jacob's muzzle and turned his head away from me, and kissed the side of his face. "Just thinking about how to proceed." I told him. I showed him how hungry I was.

"If you're hungry, we could have gotten you something to eat before we got here." My dad translated for him again. I could tell he was talking for both of them.

I shook my head. "I don't need to eat. I'm thirsty." I lied. Jacob saw through it.

He looked over my head at my dad. I watched my dad nod at whatever Jacob silently told him.

"He wants you to hunt." My dad relayed Jacob's message.

"What did he tell you before that?" I asked him, glaring at Jacob.

"We'll stop and get you something to eat on our way home; If you're still hungry."

"That's what he said?"

My dad nodded.

I crouched to run towards the bear, now wandering further away from me. I caught him in record time, sinking my teeth into his neck. His growls cut off with a gurgle and he was limp and dry beneath me.

I got up and searched for another tasty smelling animal to hunt down. I had to settle with a heard of deer. I leaped over my mom, who had just taken down her third deer. Between her and I, we hunted down all of the deer that belonged to the herd. My father was working on his own further away from us.

Jacob ate beside me, and I sat back on my ankles as I watched him. My mouth watered for the meat he was tearing into. I shook my head and decided to hunt one more time before I was finished. I needed to satisfy my hunger, or was it thirst? I couldn't tell anymore.

"Ness, are you finished, yet?" My dad asked as I rolled off of the animal I had just hunted down. I was panting for the air my lungs needed. I refused to breath since it would have caused me to lose concentration on feeding.

"One more," I pleaded. The fire in my throat was only dimmed.

My mom and dad exchanged glances.

"If that's what you want." My dad nodded slowly.

I turned and went in search for another herd of deer.

When I was finally finished - not satisfied - but I was making my parents fidget. And Jacob was back in his cutoffs watching me beside my mom. I suddenly felt self-conscious, and wanted to go home.

I stood up, kicking my drained animal away from me, the ground seemed to be moving under my feet. "Whoa, guess I got up too fast." I muttered.

When I walked up to my parents and Jacob, my mom's hand went right to my forehead. "Honey, are you sick?"

I shook my head to get her hand off. "I'm fine, can't a vampire be really thirsty?" I snapped.

My dad nodded slowly. "I guess."

My dad stopped at a drive thru to get me a cheeseburger on the way home. Derek made faces and gagging noises as I ate, but I was too hungry to care what he was doing beside me.

Jacob followed me inside, his hands tightly on my hips.

I turned and yawned, hugging my parents goodnight. I was finally full and content. It was time to sleep.

Jacob lounged across my bed as I showered and got ready for bed. He was snoring by the time I walked out of my bathroom.

I climbed onto my bed and curled into his side.

"Sorry," he mumbled, half asleep. "You took too long. I wanted to put you to bed." He rolled lazily onto his side and tucked my blankets around me.

"Where are you going?" I asked, reading for him when he got off my bed.

"I would like to check out the area." He said, and leaned over to kiss me.

"Luke?" I guessed.

He nodded, and kissed me again.

I threw my arms around his neck and held onto him as tight as I could. "Stay." I pleaded.

He shook his head, tilting his face so he could touch his lips to mine. "I'll see you in the morning."

"So that means you're not coming back here tonight?"

"I think I might stay outside tonight."

"As you should!" Derek yelled from his room.

Jacob pulled away from me, but I gripped his harder. "Ignore him." I said, crushing my lips to his. "Will you please come back in when you're done running around for no reason at all?"

"A man's gotta protect his wife, right?" He winked, and ducked his head to press his lips against my neck.

"I like the sound of that." I whispered.

"Which part? Me protecting you, or the wife part?"

"Both," I giggled when his lips tickled me skin as he moved along my collarbone.

"Same here." He mumbled against my skin.

His lips found their way back to mine, and he pulled away. "Love you." He said quickly and hurried out of my room.

I closed my eyes, welcoming sleep. I couldn't believe how tired I actually was.
