Jacob POV

As expected Alice had already booked and planned our honeymoon so all Renesmee and I had to do was show up and enjoy. No problem with that if you ask me.

But today I had decided to drive home to Rachel and Paul. I still haven't seen Rachel since we said our good byes before the fight and we had only talked over the phone the last month.

"I will be back before you know it." I smiled to Renesmee as I held my arms around her. "I promise."

"I know…I'm just going to miss you." She murmured and kissed me.

"I will be here to sing you to sleep." I chuckled and spun her around and saw she was close to crying. "Renesmee?" I asked and tried to hold back a laugh.

"Just go." She sniffled and kissed me.

"Fine." I laughed cupped her face in my hands "I love you," I murmured and waited for her next words.

As she held back tears and mouthed 'I love you,' I realized that was all I was going to get. With a smile I kissed her lips and forehead softly and whispered in her ear.

"Don't cry." I lightly stroked her shoulder and neck and she let out a pleased moan. "See you tonight," I smiled and ran out to the car.

The thing was I had planned to do a bit more than Renesmee knew about. After a long car ride I arrived at our old house. I slowly pulled up into our garage and parked it. Everything looked just like it did before we left and the garden still looked flawless even though we had been gone for a while now.

"Long time no see." I heard a voice say to the left of me.

"RACHEL!" I smiled and ran to her for a hug. Wrapped in my arms she hugged me back and messed up my hair.

"How are you little brother?" she smiled as I fixed my hair.

"I'm great. I've missed you though!" I said and went in for another hug. "How are you?"

As we started walking I put my arm around her shoulders.

"We are good. It was great to have Paul back home. I was so scared when you were all out there. How is Renesmee?"

"She is good. Our second honeymoon is coming up." I proudly stated.

"Oh, anything special planned?" she teased.

"Brazil again."

"Not something different?"

"No. We both want some calm and familiar." I chuckled.

"Makes sense." She laughed and took my hand that laid on her shoulder.

"Yeah." I sighed. "After everything we just want to be alone in peace and quiet."

"I get it." She nodded but I could only stay quiet for a few more seconds before I went on again..

"I mean how boring can it be to go to your own private island in Brazil? Not very." I laughed nervously.

"Jake..." she chuckled and looked at me. "I assure you that I totally get it."

"You think I should do something special don't you?"

"NO!" she sighed and buried her face in her hands. "Jacob I was just asking. You are usually so romantic with her."

"And I'm not romantic now?"

"Yes you are. I was just making conversation."

"Making conversation? We haven't seen each other in a month. We have plenty of other things to talk about. So you think I really SHOULD do something different don't you?"

"Jacob..." she stopped and took my hands. ".. I love you but if you don't stop obsessing now I will punch you."

"You would only break your hand." I said and began again. "…now what should I do this time?"

She rolled her eyes and started walking. "I don't know. Buy her some flowers."

"That's not very different and romantic. I have done that plenty of times."

"I don't know her in that way Jacob." She groaned.

"She usually likes too…"

"STOP!" she interrupted me and held her hand up. "I don't really want to know her that way."

"I wasn't going to say anything like that but… nice to know where your mind is." I laughed.

"Well…" she began to give me different suggestions and ideas as I carefully took mental notes till we arrived at her place. When we walked up to the house Paul came out of the door with each one of his boys on his hips and arms proudly wrapped around them as they fussed with each other.

"Welcome to the Lahote residence." He said and when I looked back at Rachel she was giving him the 'you are dead' look that we men know all too well.

"You are getting married?" I stuttered and turned to Rachel completely.

She sighed heavily and looked at me. "I wanted to tell you myself."

I looked down at her hand where a small diamond ring was wrapped around her finger. As I looked at it I decided if I should punch Paul in the face for not coming to me and asking for permission or kick him in the nuts for it. She is MY SISTER and he had the guts to do this without even telling me.

"Well…" I said and glanced at Paul quickly. "Congratulations."

Rachel looked surprised at my reaction and almost seemed to be on the fence if she was going to hug me or not. I rolled my eyes and held my arms out as she ran to me. As I had my arms wrapped around her I nuzzled my face into her neck.

"My little sister," I mumbled and she gave a quick happy chuckle. When I let her down on the ground she was beaming with a smile on her face and I took her hand. She looked over at Paul and I turned to nod to him. He nodded back and Rachel walked up to wrap her arms around her "little boys".

"Thank you, Jacob." Paul whispered so only I heard and kissed Rachel's head.

"So… How is Daniella taking this? She must be nuts!" I chuckled as we walked inside. Daniella ran up to me and I bent down to catch her. "Speak of the devil." I laughed as she hugged me. "How are you princess?"

"I'm good!" she smiled. Rachel sat down on the couch as Paul put the boys in the little (as I call them) 'play cages'. "Jacob, Jacob, Jacob! You know what?" she yelled.

"No, tell me!" I whispered and she leaned to my ear.

"I'm six years old next year!" she whispered and I gasped dramatically at Rach and Paul, who were not both sitting on the couch.

"Six years huh? Wait…isn't that when you said she would get to pierce her ears?" I taunted the not so happy parents.

"It is! I will be pretty." She giggled and I joined in just to torture them some more.

"How great!" I said and looked at them. "Why aren't you guys excited?" I said like it was strange for them to not be jumping up and down. "Party poopers." I mumbled to Daniella and she hysterically giggled on.

So now Abel and Noah were one and a half while Daniella was five, which she proudly babbled on about for the whole day. And me being the sensitive, soft and cuddly guy I am (Cause that's totally what I am right?), patiently listened to her brag about it for a while.

"The year after that I will be seven!" she said and held seven fingers up. "That's almost like seventeen!"

"Almost," I sighed and pushed out a smile.

"Not so fun huh?" Rachel teased me and I rolled my eyes. "Bed time!" she said and picked Daniella up.

"Good night kiss?" I asked Daniella and she puckered up her lips against my cheek while we hugged. "Sleep tight princess!"

"You too princess!" she yelled from the hallway as Rachel carried her upstairs. Paul chuckled but quickly stopped when I looked at him.

"Look Jacob..." he leaned forward but I interrupted him.

"I will be nice this one time. But only because for some reason she loves you." I hissed and he looked guilty. "She is my sister. One of the only women I have left related by blood. She is the only piece of mom I have left." I said with tears in my throat. Sarah was of course a little piece of my mom but not in the same way.

"I'm sorry." He mumbled and looked down at the beer in his hands. "I just… thought I would never see them again after that thing out on the field."

I leaned back in my chair and took a sip of my own beer. "Why didn't you tell me?"

He took a deep breath and hesitated. "Look I have never fit in to this family!" he said and I was in shock. Was this Paul's soft side? "…she means the world to me and I know you understand the feeling. I will protect her for as long as I live. When I got home I had the ring in my hand and I knew I couldn't go another day without her as my wife." He finished and leaned back. "But I am sorry."

I carefully inspected his body language to see if he really was sincere or just tried to BS me.

"Apology accepted." I said and he looked up in surprise. "…this time." I warned him.

"So Daniella is in bed now." Rachel snuck inside the room with a smile and sat down in Paul's lap. "Want some more food Jake?"

"No I'm good." I said and stood up. "Have to get back home anyway. The wife is waiting."

"I will follow you out to the car!" she smiled and jumped up.

I nodded with a smile to her and Paul stood up to shake my hand. "Take care." I said.

"You too." He said back and seemed a bit nervous. It felt good to be feared.

Rachel and I quietly walked out to the car and we both had so much to say but it wasn't time. Save that for the wedding, I told myself.

"Thank you for everything Jacob. I really mean it." She murmured.

"Only for you sis," I said and put one arm around her to pull her in for a kiss on the head. "But are you sure this is what you want?"

She laughed and rolled her eyes. "No I had three kids with him because we were bored..." she looked a bit confused by her own words. "…that is in some ways true."

"Don't want to know how they came to be!" I said and held my hand up as she laughed. "Just promise me you are happy."

"I'm happy." She assured me and hugged me once more. "He is a good man you know."

"He has his moments." I muttered and shook her hand. "See you soon."

"I will be the one in white." She smiled and I rolled my eyes.

As I backed up I realized something and stopped to roll down the window. "Who will walk you down the aisle?"

"Dad insisted," she smiled and I nodded.

"Good. The old man needs it!" I said and drove off. I was really happy that he was the one to do it. My chance would probably come with Sarah and Seth and I mean…Rachel wasn't even my daughter so. No big loss.

The drive home went quick. Maybe because I just wanted to tell Renesmee everything or because I knew she would be in bed by now…all alone.

When I got home I carefully snuck inside and all the lights were off. No one home at all, I thought to myself when I saw the parking spaces empty through the window in the kitchen. I opened the fridge and found a little container that had a note on it.

Saved you SOME lunch. Not much left after your little clone got hungry. He insisted on pancakes again so dig in!

Love, you're tired woman who is upstairs sleeping.

I laughed at the note and took out the pancakes. My stomach growled so I didn't even care to heat them up. They were a bit soggy but still tasted great. Everything that came from that 'tired woman's making was perfect. I can't really say that she has ever done something and failed. Except for that time when she was making me bacon and I walked out without a shirt so she burned the bacon. Apparently I had distracted her. We weren't even together yet at that time so maybe it was a bit too much now that I think about it. But I mean…I still ate the bacon.

When I finished the pancakes I slurped down a big glass of milk and cleaned the dishes. To be polite I brushed my teeth downstairs in the new big bathroom we had so I wouldn't wake them up. I got a quick shower to freshen up and put on my "sleepy pants" as Renesmee had called them ever since she was little. I was forced to wear them at certain times. When Renesmee was young, now that we had kids and when we slept over at the big house. People usually don't appreciate a buck naked werewolf in their house. Wonder why!

As I was about to walk upstairs I got a call and quickly tried to silence my phone but failed. It fell down on the ground and under the couch. Franticly I searched for it as the ground felt like it was shaking from the vibrations. Only when I had it in my hands the sound stopped and I sighed in anger.

"Great." I muttered and flipped the phone open to see who it was. Before I could call back I got a text.

-Hope you are free the next few months! The wedding will be back in La Push on the beach.

Love you, Rachel.

-In La Push?

-Hope it won't cause too much trouble for you or the Cullen's but that's where I will have it.

-We will make it work.

I sighed and rubbed my face and murmured 'La Push' over and over again. How are we ever going to make this work?

-We will make it work! Now go to sleep. You're tired woman is waiting upstairs J

I got from Alice and I chuckled in agreement. Fine by me! I hurled myself up from the floor and snuck upstairs.

Quietly I opened the door to the kids room where they were sleeping soundly in their little beds. They must just have gone to bed. Usually they end up sleeping in each other's arms on the couch in their room even after we had put them to sleep in their beds.

With quiet steps I snuck inside and kissed their foreheads before I walked into my own room where Renesmee laid. The cover was almost sculpted around her body and the light blue silk highlighted the curve of her hip perfectly in the moon light. With a smile I crawled up in the bed and wrapped my arms around her. She always slept better when she was the little spoon.

"You are home," she murmured as I kissed her shoulder.

"Yeah and I have some news in the morning," I whispered and laid my head on the pillow.

"Tell me now," she insisted.

"No. If I do then you won't be able to fall asleep. So the sooner you go back to sleep, the sooner you will hear the news." I assured her.

"Deal," she mumbled and fell asleep in my arms.

Renesmee POV

When I woke up I was no longer in Jacob's arms. Only when I turned around I saw him lying on the absolute last bit of edge of the bed.

"What are you doing over there?" I asked and stroked his hair. In surprise he jumped up and fell down on the floor. To hold back a laugh I covered my mouth and crawled over to see him on the floor. "Sorry," I mumbled as he laid on his back with his eyes wide open.

"You are evil," he whispered and got back up on the bed. "You hog all the space." He said and pointed to the space behind me. When I looked over half of the bed was free while I laid where he usually was.

"Sorry," I blushed and he cuddled up beside me. "Now you said you had some news." I reminded him and pushed his hair back.

"Oh right," He murmured and nuzzled his face against my chest. "Uhh…Rachel and Paul are getting married."

In shock I jumped up and accidentally pushed him out of bed again. "OH!" I squealed with happiness. By their engagement NOT by the fact that I pushed him out of bed. I assure you!

"And you are not invited if you are going to keep pushing people over like this!" he whined from the floor and crawled back up.

"I have to call her!" I jumped out of bed and ran downstairs to the phone in the kitchen. As fast as I could I dialed her number and before she could say 'Hello' I blurred out "CONGRATULATIONS!"

"I think Rachel is the one you were calling for but thanks!" Paul chuckled with a morning voice and handed Rachel the phone.

"CONGRATULATIONS!" I said when I heard her take it.

"Holy moly you are gonna wake the kids up!" she laughed and I heard them kiss. "Thank you thought!"

"I can't believe you didn't tell me first!" I playfully scolded her.

She let out a big laugh. "You are right. I shouldn't have told my brother first!" as she said it Alice came inside.

"Wait a second, Rachel..." I said and covered the mic to whisper to Alice. "What are you doing here?"

"I came by to pick up the kids. Just wanted to spend some time with them." She said innocently and I doubted her claims. "Trust me," she held her hands up and I shrugged my shoulders.

"I'm back and apology accepted," I laughed with her. "So when is it? Where is it?"

"In a month. La Push," she said and I heard her get out of bed.

"La…. La Push?" I stuttered and froze. "In Forks?"

"Yeah.. Jacob said it would be fine." Rachel said and I saw Alice walk out with the kids. Now I understand.

"Well then I guess it is.." I said plainly while I was starting to fume with anger.

"Daniella get your clothes on! We have to go soon." She shouted and I heard the kids in the background. "Look Ness.. I would love to talk more but I have to get the kids ready. We are taking them to Billy."

"Oh.. Okay. Well just call when you have time."

"I promise. Love you!" she said and we hung up.

I leaned against the wall for a second… Forks, I thought to myself and looked down. I haven't been there for a couple of years but I still remember the pain of leaving like it was yesterday. How could Jacob just say it was fine without checking with me?!

Angry and disappointed I stomped upstairs where he laid in bed still.

"JACOB!" I muttered and he sat up. "La Push?"

"Oh.." he mumbled and looked guilty. "Yeah so?"

I cocked my head in surprise over his plain reaction. "So? Have you even thought about how mom and I feel about this?!"

"Your mom doesn't have to come," he shrugged his shoulders and I gasped.

"Well maybe I won't come either," I said and he got out of bed.

"Can you please tell me why you are mad?"

I hesitated as I felt tears build up in my eyes. "Going back there will be too hard."

"I'm sorry," he whispered and took my hands. "I really had no idea." He pulled me in for a hug.

"I can't go Jacob." I whispered against his chest and he put his hand on the back of my head as he kissed it.

"It's fine," he murmured. "I'm sure she will understand."

"She won't…. but I can't go."

"Alice said we would solve it. That is the only reason why I agreed to it."

"She probably just meant that you would go," I mumbled as he hugged me tighter.

I knew that I couldn't go back. It would be too painful for me and my mother. Even though I had been born there and I loved the place it was one of the worst places for me to go. One day I would want my children to see it of course but not now. Plus it would be too dangerous. What if someone saw us?

People still thought that when mom and dad drove to Charlie one day they were in a car accident and died. To escape the pain from his daughter's death Charlie moved away and the packs grew up and moved out into the world. Billy stayed in La Push but usually came to live with Charlie so he was close to us. But he couldn't let go of La Push.

And I knew if I went back I wouldn't leave again.
