Renesmee POV

I woke up that morning determined to train. No matter what my family would say about it, I wanted to be ready for whatever would come. So I threw on some clothes and got my hair out of the way and walked downstairs. My dad was standing there and talking to a blonde woman.

"Dad?" I asked and stood beside him.

"Renesmee, this is Elena." My dad said and introduced us.

"Hello Renesmee. You are just as beautiful as I've heard you are." She smiled and shook my hand.

"Thank you." I answered cold. "Where is mom?" I asked dad and ignored Elena.

"She is outside." My dad said and pointed to the door. I nodded and as I walked outside I heard Elena say something about 'Having to find Nate.'

"Ready?" she asked and held her hand out.

"Ready." I nodded and took her hand. She knew I was going to ask.

"The kids are still sleeping so they won't see us." She assured me and we ran outside. "Where do you want to start?"

"Maybe…" I started and the next second she had a grip with my arms behind my back, as gently as possible.

"I thought you were ready." She teased and let go. I stumbled forward and got back up as quickly as possible.

"I am!" I insisted and got in my position. "I just have no idea what I should do." I laughed.

"I know you remember from my training." She said.

"I really don't." I said as we slowly moved in a circle.

"Come on."

"Fine." I muttered and ran towards her. I jumped up and got a grip of her shoulders but she easily shook me off.

"You can do better." She said and helped me off the ground. I pulled myself up and wrapped my arms around her from behind and locked her head in position to rip it off.

"Better." She chuckled and I let go off her. As I walked back to my position she tripped me over and I fell back on the ground.

"But never ever turn your back on your enemy." She whispered in my ear and helped me up.

I knocked the dust off me and growled at my failure. As she walked back to her position across the yard I made a run for it myself. She turned around when I came up to her and right away got a grip of my arms.

"Too slow." She muttered. "I know you can do better and you know what might happen."

I was thankful for her brutal honesty and that she didn't hold back but at the same time it hurt. I wasn't able to protect myself and that meant I wouldn't be able to protect the kids. With a growl I threw her arms to the side and kicked her away. As I watched her land on the ground panic struck.

"I'm so sorry!" I yelled in a high pitch voice and ran up to her. "Oh my god, I'm sooooo sorry!" I said and helped her up.

"I'm not." She smiled. "I held back. You did it anyway." She chuckled. "Something motivated you. What was it?" she asked and dusted off herself.

I felt a bit dumfounded when she reacted so well. "But…that was wrong of me." I mumbled.

"No! You have to give it your all. You have to be ready. Now come on!" she said sternly.

I backed up and shook my head, unable to speak after what I had done.

"Renesmee?" she said and gave me a confused look.

"I can't." I whispered.

"You think this is easy for me? Renesmee, you are my daughter. I would rather die than to hurt you. But I also know that if we don't do this…" she sighed and put her hand on her hips. "...the chance of you dying is bigger if I don't prepare you."

"But..."

"No. Come on now. Don't be like your father." She said and walked to her position. "Now think of what motivated you before and give me the best you can." She hunched down and waited for me to walk back to my position. "Come on." She pointed to my place and I walked to it.

"Okay." I mumbled and hunched down and took a deep breath.

"Imagine I'm Aro. It might be easier." She shrugged her shoulders.

I nodded and we ran towards each other. She jumped up and I slid on the ground under her. Before she landed I threw myself on her back and tried to hold her arms behind her back.

"IMPOSSIBLE!" I grunted and let go of her. "You are too strong." I sighed as she got up.

"You avoided my attack at least." She said and brushed a piece of her hair back. "Maybe that's what we should focus on to start with at least."

"Yeah." I sighed and we continued.

Jacob POV

When I arrived home in wolf form I saw Renesmee and Bella training. At first glance I panicked for some reason. I decided to have some fun and ran towards them. Renesmee was totally caught up in the moment and didn't notice me so when I jumped towards her she went down on the ground with me.

"JAKE!" she laughed and pushed me off her. "You are awful!" she said and got back up. "You scared me."

I barked and let my tongue hang out. She pushed me onto the ground and stuck her tongue out. I loved her like this, so carefree. Like when she was young.

"Let's get back to training." Bella smiled.

I got back up and ran towards the back porch. I phased back and got some clothes on before I walked inside.

"Nice tackle." Emmett smirked and walked inside with A.J. "Did you see your dad, buddy?" he asked.

"That dee?" he asked and pointed out where we had been. "Wolf?"

"Yes. Daddy is a wolf!" Emmett chuckled at him and kissed his forehead. "Cool huh?"

It was more than strange to see Emmett so soft and playful.

"COOL!" A.J laughed and held his arms out to me. Emmett walked over to me and gave him.

"Now I have a very lovely lady waiting in the bedroom." He smirked and ran upstairs.

"Now that we didn't need to know." I whispered to A.J and shook my head.

"You wolf?" he asked.

"Yes. I wolf."

"I wolf?" he asked and pointed at himself.

"We will have to wait and see buddy."

"I WOLF!" he smiled.

"Okay, fine. You wolf." I caved in and kissed his cheek. "You the best wolf!" I said and held him up in the air as he laughed.

"BUDDY!" he screamed and his eyes locked on the cat. "I WANNA!" he said and held his arms out to him.

"Yeah. Let's go to Buddy." I smiled and walked up to the couch where he was sleeping.

"WAKE!" A.J said and patted him on the head.

Buddy jumped up and looked wide eyed at us.

"Sorry." I smiled and let Anthony down on the couch and they cuddled.

"Poor cat." Edward chuckled as he came in the room with Sarah.

"Hey pretty princess." I smiled and Edward handed her to me. "How are you?"

"GOOD!" she smiled. "Ed gave me juice."

Juice? Does she mean blood?

"Yeah." Edward said and shook his head. "She is quite the little… what was it you called us?" he teased.

Shut it. I thought to him and laughed. It was true that I had absolutely hated vampires but that was before I fell in love with a half one. How the world works. I will never understand it.

"Neither will I." Edward smiled and sat down beside A.J.

Sarah showed me how the blood tasted and I felt like throwing up.

"You want juice?" she asked.

"No thanks. I'm fine. But thanks for asking." I chuckled and kissed her. "When will we go to the new location?" I asked Edward.

"We couldn't wait for the house to come for sale so Alice is on her way there to ask them directly."

"Wow. The world is really yours when you have money huh." I said and Edward ignored me.

"We will have the house by the next week." He said and put A.J in his lap.

"How do you know we will get it? A family lives there. They might want to keep their house."

"Would you say no to one million?"

"ONE…" I shouted and Sarah covered my mouth.

"DON'T SHOUT DAD! IT'S RUDE!" she pouted and Edward laughed at her. I was still too shocked.

"One…million?" I gasped.

"It is a huge house and we had to get the area around it." He explained like it was no big deal.

"Holy moly." I sighed and shook my head. "You were born into a good family." I whispered to Sarah.

"I want mommy." She pouted and tried to get out of my arms.

"Okay, okay. I will bring you to her." I assured and we went outside with Edward and A.J

"Someone missed you!" I said to Renesmee and they stopped training. She turned around with a smile and ran up to us.

"Oh, sorry sweetie! Was mommy gone too long?" she asked and I handed Sarah to her.

"I got juice!" She informed Renesmee with a big smile.

"You did? I should go and get some juice myself." She said and rubbed her throat.

"Bring her." I suggested.

"What? NO!" she said and held her closer.

"Come on. She will have to learn sooner or later."

"Not now." She pouted and kissed her head.

"Fine. Forget I even said it." I said and held my hands up.

"I will try." She said and walked over to Bella and started talking.

"Women." I mumbled and Edward laughed.

"They can hear you." He chuckled as the girls turned around with a mean look on their face.

"Sorry." I whispered and stepped back. "I should probably go and check on the pack."

"We will look over the kids." Edward assured me.

"Hey!" I said as I got an idea. "Renesmee!" I ran up to them and Edward followed. "Could they see me?" I asked her like a little kid.

She hesitated and looked at Bella who nodded. "Fine." She muttered and walked over to Edward and A.J as I walked behind them.

"Okay now don't be scared." I said to the kids. "You know the wolves you see around the house?"

A.J and Sarah looked at each other and nodded. "Daddy wolf!" Anthony stated.

"Yes exactly!" I said happily and kissed them on the forehead and took a few steps back. "Ready?" I asked Edward.

"They are ready." He smiled.

"Okay." I mumbled and started to take some of my clothes of so I was just in boxers. I tensed up and felt my body start to shake and the next second I was down on all fours. A.J's face was covered in a smile and Sarah's mouth was in the shape of an O.

"Don't be scared." Renesmee said to Sarah and I laid down on the ground.

"DADDY WOLF!" Anthony screamed with joy and held his hands out to me. I carefully walked up to him and his hands literally hit my head.

"Careful." Edward chuckled and helped him pet me softer. I looked up at Sarah and she was clinging on to Renesmee shirt.

"It's okay. It's daddy." She said and got out of Sarah's death grip. "Smell." She suggested.

Sarah hesitated but took in a deep breath of me. "DADDY!" she smiled and Renesmee leaned down so she could pet me as I laid on the ground.

"See. I told you." Renesmee laughed.

"Daddy soft!" she acknowledged.

"Yes he is isn't he?" Renesmee cooed as Sarah and A.J giggled. "Now daddy is going to go. But he will be back soon."

I barked at A.J and Sarah who were now laughing and ran away.
