17. Questions.

Renesmee P. O. V

I pulled up at Kaylen's house, it was her birthday today so I was surprising her. I had a bouquet of balloons in one hand and a thin flat wrapped present in the other. It was a diamond encrusted locket with a group photo of all our friends with writing on the opposite side that read:

Kaylen

You are the most wonderful person in the world and you will always be my friend.

Happy Birthday

From Renesmee.

I walked right into the house like I normally did, she gave me a spare key since I came around a lot. Sometimes for unexpected sleepovers.

I crept upstairs to her room and burst through the door shouting "Happy Birthday!"

"Renesmee!" Kaylen said jumping up from her bed.

"Are you in your underwear?" I asked narrowing my eyes. Then I noticed Nahuel sitting up.

I went cold. I let the balloons go and dropped the necklace.

I had a brief flash of my mother, she was human. Blood was everywhere, she was dying. Dying because of me.

"Nahuel tell me you didn't!" I said striding over to him and grabbing him by the shoulders shaking him.

"Renesmee!" Kaylen said rushing over to me trying to loosen my grip.

"Renesmee stop!" she shouted.

I shook my head and stepped away.

"What was that about?" She asked rounding on me.

"I... Happy Birthday." I said picking up the necklace and giving it to her.

"I have to go." I said turning around and heading back to my car.

"Renesmee wait." Kaylen said trying to run after me.

"I need to clear my head Kaylen I'll be back in about half an hour." I said over my shoulder, I walked straight passed my car, walking at human speed down the street.

"Renesmee, wait." I heard Nahuel behind me. I stopped and rounded on him.

"How could you! Are really that stupid? You couldn't wait until she was done with school? Until she moved out of her family's house? She could be pregnant now, she might die! Or she might be turned, have you forgotten what happened to your mother? You might have doomed her to the same fate! You might have just killed my best friend!" I shouted at him.

"Renesmee she's not pregnant." He said cooly. It was excruciating to see him so at ease.

"Yeah and how would you know?" I asked I was furious now, he was really testing my patience.

"Because we never had sex." He said nonchalantly.

"What? But she was in her... and you were in her bed without..." I trailed off.

"Yes we might have gone a bit far but we never went that far. We're both just a couple of teenagers having some fun." He said chuckling.

"Oh... Nahuel please promise me that you won't... at least until she's finished with high school." I begged.

"Of course Renesmee, I am an honourable man. I would never take advantage." He said grinning.

"Tell Kaylen I'll be back later okay. In time for the party." I said.

I walked back to my car and drove back home.

"So do you have any idea what the baby might be?" I asked, we were all gathered in the living room.

Emmett, Rosalie and Megan sat opposite Jacob, My mom and I. My dad was standing behind our sofa, Carlisle was sitting on one of the arm chairs, he had moved the coffee table so that piles of paper could be stacked on it. Esmé was listening from her desk in the corner, she was sketching another design for a house and Alice was perched on Jasper's lap on another armchair with Brandon on her lap.

Brandon looked about five now, he was growing a tad faster than Megan and I had.

"Well according to the chromosome pairs since all hybrids have twenty-four pairs all of those pairs would have combined. The baby is most likely to come out a hybrid since both the parents are hybrids. The human parts would combine as well as the vampire parts would combine. Then those two combinations would again combine to form one. I do have another theory but that would involve if it was twins, if they were identical one would most likely come out human and the other vampire since it would be one zygote that has split but if they were fraternal the children would probably come out hybrids because of their own separate chromasome pairs." He said.

Then he looked at me and Jacob.

"Then again Renesmee and Jacob are a completely different story."

I felt my cheeks burning up, I glanced at my dad to see his reaction but he was listening to Carlisle as well as my mom.

"What would the situation be there?" My mother asked completely focused on Carlisle, everyone had shifted into a better position out of habit.

"It would be completely unpredictable but there are several outcomes. Firstly there is the dominant outcome; since the vampire and wolf genes are enemies there might be a struggle for dominance, the genes will fight and one would probably emerge victorious which would determine whether the child will be a shape-shifter or a hybrid. I do not think that the child would be a full vampire since both Jacob and Renesmee have the human gene in them."

"Second there is the cancellation outcome; again since both genes are enemies they would fight for dominance and instead of one emerging victorious they might both cancel out resulting in the child being human, completely human. Since that would be the only gene left."

"Thirdly there is the fusing outcome; my theory is that the genes would fuse together into one forming possibly another hybrid of some kind. Though I fear that a child like that would be unstable at times, they would quickly be angered because of the continuous fighting of the genes. The child would most likely be able to develop properly like Renesmee and Megan and Brandon, able to distinguish between right and wrong. But the wolf side would be triggered by the slightest anger. Though I am sure it would take time but it would be able to be controled." He said staring into space probably visualising it.

"Sounds like the old Leah." Jacob snorted and I elbowed him in the ribs.

"What about if they had twins?" My mother asked.

"Well I'm thinking that if they were fraternal the vampire and wolf gene would split and one would be vampire and one would be wolf, but again if they were identical they could both come out wolf or vampire or even human." He said shrugging.

"Well it kinda sucks that my niece might have puppies." Rosalie said coldly.

"Rosalie!" My mother, Alice and Esmé said.

"Please blondie you're about to be a grandmother at like a hundred." Jacob muttered and I elbowed him again.

Rosalie rolled her eyes.

I glanced at Megan, she was actually laughing with the rest of us, she still had light marks under her eyes and they were slightly red but she looked way better since the battle.

She looked about three months pregnant. Its been a week since she found out. She's had mixed emotions, sad for Robert not being here, happy because she still has living piece of him with her, guilty for being happy, disappointed in herself because she's still young. Jasper said he got a headache every time he went near Megan.

Emmett was as bad as Megan, he was sad because of her loss, he was disappointed because she was so young, he was angry at her because of the predicament, he was happy because he was gonna be a grandfather. He was laughing with us now but usually when its quiet his face has a kind of neutral expression so he looks extremely weird so I tend to avoid him. Sometimes you catch him smiling or frowning or enraged for a second before it goes neutral again.

It was a bit tense at the big house so I tended to go out with my friends a lot or go hang out with the pack at La Push. But when I was here I made sure to spend a lot of time with Megan so she wouldn't feel left out, I treated her normally. I rarely ever gave her special treatment because she hated it, she had a flash of annoyance whenever someone did something for her.

Then suddenly when it had been quiet for a few seconds a sharp crack reverberated through the room. Megan screamed once. Carlisle was right over her immediately.

"Where does it hurt?" He asked feeling her abdomen.

"It's gone, I'm fine." Megan said and relaxed again, a little sweat on her forehead.

"What happened?" Rosalie asked.

"I think one of my ribs broke, but it feels fine now." she said and started to get up.

"Where are you going?" Rosalie asked helping her up and Emmett started to pick her up.

"I can walk on my own! I'm gonna take a nap. I'm not that big you know." She said annoyed, she stomped up the stairs and slammed her door with a little more force than neccissary.
