Jacob POV
"Bells? Is everything okay?" I asked right when I answered the phone.
"Everything is great!" she said in a surprisingly happy voice. Almost like a little school girl.
"What's going on?" I chuckled and turned to Renesmee who had a question mark on her face.
"Anthony has the gene," she blurted out and my heart stopped. She continued talking but I was to shocked to listen. Instead I handed Renesmee the phone and walked outside to get some air.
My son, the little golden skinned boy who I had loved before he even existed…is a werewolf. Of course he is! my inner voice snarled. He is the great-grandson of Ephraim Black! It continued and I shook my head. No, they have to be wrong. Being the great-grandson of a chief doesn't automatically make you a werewolf!
"Jacob?" Renesmee snuck up behind me and carefully put her hand on my shoulder. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," I muttered and sat down. Making her worry was something I wanted to avoid and this went much deeper.
"How long is it going to take for us to be honest with each other, Jacob?" she sighed and sat down beside me.
She is right, my inner voice said and I sighed. "Are they sure?"
"Sarah saw it," she stroked my hand and I could tell how worried she was for me. "…is there something wrong with him being a werewolf?"
I had never told Renesmee how much I had despised the wolf side of me. How I everyday dreamed of getting rid of my 'magical' spirit. To live a normal life without risking my loved ones lives if I got mad. Sure everything has worked out to a certain point now but still.. The weight that is on my shoulders is something I don't wish for him. It can be something great and a way to protect your family but certainly the initial transformation is not easy, and is very disconcerting and confusing. I remember the pain like it was yesterday.
"Jacob?" Renesmee murmured and looked scared.
"What?" I asked and held her hand. She lightly shook her head in disbelief.
"You just… shuddered. Like my touch was," she continued to shake her head in search for words.
"No, I'm sorry," I pulled her closer and stroked her cheek. "…there is something I have never told you."
"Tell me," she put one hand on my chest and looked both understanding and mad. "…Jacob please."
I took a deep breath. "The werewolf side of me isn't something I," now it was my turn to shake my head in search for words. "…like."
She almost flinched back in surprise. "What?"
"You don't know what its like to constantly be afraid to lose control and kill someone you love because of a strong emotion," I sighed. "With this I can protect but I can also lose everything that has every mattered to me."
She lightly squirmed in my arms and put her hand on my cheek. "I trust you Jacob," she said determined as her eyes pierced through me.
I couldn't help but smile at her trust in me but still held it back as much as I possibly could. That internal fight always went on inside me. Wanting her trust and love but not trusting myself with it.
"I have learned to control it now," I tried to chuckle to her but she saw right through me and I sighed. "Your parents made me promise them two things, one was to respect them and always protect you, two was to keep my emotions under control. I did both of those things," I felt a bit proud as I said it and also a bit silly that I felt proud.
"You have never lost control with me," she pulled herself closer and scratched behind my ear in a bit of a teasing way. "..you are a good boy," she giggled and put our foreheads together.
"Only for you," I chuckled and took in her calming scent. "Do you know how much I love you?"
"More than food," she whispered and we laughed.
"I never thought I'd be happy.. and I ended up finding the love of my life," I whispered and my hands roamed around her neck and thigh. "You gave me hope and a reason to live. I would never take that for granted or lose control. You have to know that."
"Jacob I love your wolf side," she whispered back and kissed me. "I love you."
"Like I love you," I murmured and intertwined our fingers. "...only three days left here."
"Yeah?" Renesmee asked in a suspicious way.
"We should put them to use," I smirked and she kissed me.
"What did you have in mind?"
"Something very, very…" I kissed her neck and murmured in her ear. "...delicious."
"Sounds like a plan," she moaned.
"Yeah?"
"Mhmm," she breathed heavily.
"Great," I propped her back normally on my leg. "..I have reservations at a restaurant tonight."
"Not what I thought you had in mind but..." she giggled.
"It's a date?" I grinned to her and she laughed.
"It's a date," she smiled.
The rest of the day I made some phone calls into town since I hadn't ACTUALLY made reservations at a restaurant…spur of the moment I guess. But with some help from Edward I got us reservations at the best restaurant in town and at a very unreasonable time. I mean we had no kids here…we could act like kids and be out all night. Renesmee took her time getting ready (as usual) and I only threw on some black pants and a white button up shirt. Before we went out I decided to call and check up on the kids.
"Shouldn't you be in bed right now, stud?" Emmett's voice surprised me and he had a cocky chuckle going on.
"Emmett?" I asked.
"Yup."
"Where is Bella or Edward?"
"They are busy getting the kids ready. Me and Rose are taking them out to play," he said and I think I heard a bit of pride.
"Why can't they do it?" I asked as a reflex.
"Harsh man. Can't we spend time with them?"
"Of course you can. I was just.. surprised," I admitted and he chuckled.
"I can be a GREAT babysitter," he assured me with a cocky attitude.
"Hey, Emmett.." I leaned against the counter and felt my own cocky attitude come forward. ".. remember the first time Renesmee heard the F word?"
"F word? You are such a dad," he laughed and I rolled my eyes.
"Do you get my point?" I asked and pinched the bridge of my nose.
"I understand," he said in a very childish voice. "…plus if I do something wrong I'm not going to get any from Rosalie for decades."
I heard Rosalie in the background. "Emmett…stop it."
"Listen to your wife," I teased him and he sighed. "Can I just talk to them real quick?"
"Sure thing, stud."
"Hello?" I heard Anthony say and I imagined the cute face he makes when he is talking on the phone.
"Hello, big guy!" I chuckled and he squealed.
"DEE! It's dee, Emmy!" Anthony yelled and I held back a laugh. 'Emmy'? Oh I am going to use that.
"How are you?"
"I'm good. I lost a tooth, dee!" he said proudly and I could hear him jump up and down.
"I heard that. Did it hurt?" I asked and hoped for a big 'NO'.
"NOPE!" he giggled and I heard his feet run across the floor. "Daddy.." he whispered.
"Yeah?" I whispered back in anticipation of what that little rascal had in mind.
"I have a secret to tell you," he whispered.
"You do?" I gasped quietly and played along. "Tell me."
"I heard Rosalie call Emmy something funny," he giggled. Funnier than Emmy? I thought to myself.
"What?" I asked and waited for the name.
"Don't tell anyone because he got upset when she said it in front of us," he made me promise and I agreed. "…baby bear."
I burst out in laughter and heard him join in. "WHAT? Are you sure?"
"Positive," he assured me.
"You know what Rosalie is clearly saying it because she loves him and I think if you call him that he will understand how much you love him too." Maybe it was evil of me but I couldn't help it…
"Really?" he asked happily.
"Yup. You know how I call mommy stuff like 'honey, sweetie, love, darling' and things like that?"
"Yes."
"I call her that because I love her so much. Just like we call you guys that sometimes," I explained and was upset that I wouldn't be there to see Emmett's face.
"You mean like how mom calls me 'Thumper'?" he asked.
"Yeah, kind of."
"I will do that!" I heard him clap his hands and run around.
"Great, now could you put Sarah on the phone?" I asked and he ran to give her the phone.
"Here she comes. Love you dee!" A.J said and handed over the phone. "Hey, baby bear! I want to go now!" I heard A.J yell and Emmett sighed.
"See what you did Rosalie?" he sighed again and I held back a laugh.
"Dad?" Sarah's sweet voice brought a smile to my face.
"Princess?" I asked back and she giggled sweetly. "How are you?"
"I'm good. Rosalie brought us gifts today," she informed me and I shook my head. Like they need more stuff!
"She did? What did you get?" I asked to make her happy.
"I got a dress and Anthony got a hat. It has little wolf ears on it!" she said happily and I was actually pleasantly surprised.
"Really? Sounds cool," I admitted.
"It is cool!"
"Sarah honey we have to leave now. Say bye to daddy," Rosalie said and I heard a door open.
"Daddy Rose and Emmett is taking us out to play in the woods so I have to go," she sounded a bit sad and it broke my heart. "I miss you."
"I miss you too," I got a lump in my throat and sat down on the floor. "I will be home soon."
"Promise?" she asked quietly.
"I promise you that, angel."
"Okay," she mumbled and I heard Rosalie tell her to hurry. "See you soon daddy!"
"I promise. Now go out and have fun," I took a deep breath and felt the tears fall down. ".. I love you."
"Love you too, bye!" she said and hung up. I slowly lowered the phone from my ear and looked at the screen. My background picture was of A.J and Sarah sleeping in each other's arms. With a sigh I stood back up and wiped my tears away.
"Oh god," I mumbled and put my phone away. There is nothing I love like I love them. Not even Renesmee. When I looked into the bedroom I saw her finally putting on a dress so I started the second plan I had tonight..
To create an even more childish and somewhat romantic vibe to the night I had picked flowers from the garden throughout the day when she didn't notice. I messily wrapped some ribbon like thing around it so they would stay together and snuck outside. When I snuck past a window I saw her putting the last touches to her hair. I leaned against the doorway and knocked lightly. She snapped her head around in surprise.
"Jacob?" she asked confused. "You scared me."
"I hope I'm not late," I said innocently and she smiled. "…your house was hard to find."
God man what are you doing! This is so dumb! my inner voice snarled. You might think she will think this is cute but she doesn't!
"Well, well…" she finally said and played along. "…you are here now and that's all that matters," she smiled and walked up to me. I presented the bouquet of flowers I hid behind my back.
"For you."
"You shouldn't have!" she rolled her eyes with a smile and grabbed them. Her long lashes batted beautifully as she took in the scent. "…they are beautiful."
"Just like you," I smirked and held my hand out. "…ready?"
"Ready," she smiled and took my hand as we walked down the beach. "…now might you tell me where we are going?"
"Oh no, that's a surprise!" I grinned and helped her get in the boat. "Do you want me to teach you?" I asked and pointed to the dashboard.
"Really?" she asked.
"Really!" I smiled and she skipped over to the dashboard. I followed her and slowly pressed up against her from behind. With our hands intertwined I moved it over to one of the sticks. "…grab this real tight."
"Like this?" she teased and grabbed it tighter.
"You are a natural at this," I murmured in her ear. The whole way into town I made sure to keep her on the edge of begging me to take her right then and there. She almost successfully 'parked' the boat but as she said.. 'A few scratches never hurt anyone'.. I guess. Since I was trying to be a gentleman and ignore how amazingly hot she looked in that dress I held her hand as I helped her out of the boat. As she was in mid jump I wrapped my arms around her and spun her around. Before I put her down on the ground I pressed my lips against hers. Her heels clicked as I put her down on the ground.
"Such a romantic," she smirked and I kissed her forehead.
"This is only the beginning," I grinned and lead her over to a car that was nearby. "..my lady," I said and opened the door. My jaw dropped when she shook her head.
"No," she smiled and took my hand. "..we are walking!" she closed the door by leaning up against it.
"Really? The restaurant is like twenty minutes away."
"Scared I'll get there before you?" she grinned and gestured for the driver to drive away. As the car drove away I looked at the streets. They were full of people.
"The streets are full of people," I whispered to her.
"That only makes it more interesting," she raised an eyebrow and leaned closer to my lips. "..or are you afraid?" she teased and rubbed up against me. I didn't even care if anyone saw. Not that I even could.. I closed my eyes and moaned quietly to her. When I went in for another kiss her hands were gone. I looked up and saw her running along the street in human speed. I quickly followed but she was more graceful than I was which gave her a huge advantage. While she almost snuck in between them I on the other hand almost shoved them away. I couldn't help but laugh when the people got annoyed because all I heard among all the talking was Renesmee's laughter. It was pure happiness and reminded me of when she was younger. Every time I got someone aside and one step closer she was disappearing in front of someone else. Finally I saw a crossing there weren't as many people there and Renesmee looked all around her for which way to go. As soon as I got through the crowd I saw her. She had her back to me and I proudly walked up and grabbed her arm.
"Thought you could get away?" I whispered in her ear and she turned around. It wasn't her..
"Que?" the woman frowned to me and I heard a perfect laughter to the right of me. When I looked I saw Renesmee smirking and running into another crowd.
"Sinto muito!" I blurted out and kept running after Renesmee. Her proud and smug laughter was now louder and spurred me to run faster. "RENESMEE!" I yelled happily and she stopped. When I pushed the last person away she was once again gone. I looked to my sides and saw a woman looking like her (really who knows at this point) walking into the bar. I followed into the bar and paid the guard to get in right away. The bar was full of people dancing and rubbing up against each other..
It shouldn't be this hard to find the only classy girl in here! I told myself as I kept looking. Finally I saw her sitting at the bar. But she wasn't hiding at all.. one leg crossed over the other and her back straight, there she was. Something is not right.. she wouldn't 'give up' this easy.
So what are you going to do now? my annoying boring voice hissed. Well.. he has a point. What am I going to do now? Only Renesmee can bring out this silly side of me but I always get stuck.
Just go for it! it finally cheered me on and I took a deep breath. When I looked up at her another man was standing next to her, leaning against the bar. He has a five o'clock shadow and a gangster looking hat. She was clearly flirting with him and a growl built up inside me.
Guess she got tired of waiting for you, it chuckled. I walked closer to them.
"Eu gosto do seu chapéu!" she smiled and pointed to his hat. He took it of and handed it over to her. "Oh não, eu não podia!" she insisted and he shoved it down his pocket.
"O que você está fazendo esta noite querida?" the man grinned to her. At moments like this I wish I knew portugise. Come on Jacob...! Something about tonight is all I picked up!
"Eu não sei ainda," Renesmee said and I knew what that meant.. 'I don't know yet!'
Oh she wants to play it that way huh? I cocked my head and stomped over to them. When I got up to them the man was admiring the necklace I had given to her. A nicer way to drool over her chest is how I like to put it.
"com licença," I said and pushed the man away as lightly as I could. Without saying anything I wrapped my arm around her waist and pressed my lips against her. My tongue lightly coaxed her lips to part and I let my tongue slip into her mouth. They moved in sync and I heard the sleezy guy curse. I opened one eye and as he turned to walk away I grabbed his hat without him noticing. When I finished our kiss I sat down beside her and put the hat on.
"Como o meu chapéu?" I said to her and she laughed.
"Do you know what you just said?" she grinned.
"Yeah sure," I insisted and she raised an eyebrow. "..not really. Something about my hat!"
"Something like that," she laughed.
"Well do you like it?"
"It looks good on you!" she smiled and pushed it to the side a bit. "..sexy."
I smirked and kissed her again. As her hands clasped behind my neck I lifted her up on my lap and she smiled against my lips. Nobody would even mind. We almost seemed a bit more suspicious if we didn't.. My hands went up and down her thigh and she let out pleased moans. Since the music was blasting around us and everyone was talking she was able to let it out even more. For other peoples ears they were almost not noticable but for mine it was like she was screaming. So hot.
She pulled away from my lips and smiled at me. I took the hat from my head and put it on hers. She let out a laugh and did a sexy pose with it.
"We are going to miss our reservation if we don't leave now," I smiled and she pouted. "..if you still want to go."
"I do," she smiled and kissed me before she slid down on the floor. "Shall we?" she held her hand out to me and I took it with a smile.
"We shall," I agreed and we walked to the exit. She took the head of her again and put it on me. As we were about to walk out the sleezy guy (whos hat I had stolen) noticed me and started to yell. Both Renesmee and I jumped a bit. I tried to push her out as the man stomped over to us but no need.. he fell over something and right down on some guys table. A brawl broke out and we ran. Out on the streets there were still as much people but at least we were almost at the resturant. We only had to walk for five more minutes until we were there.
It was a very beautiful and elegant building. We walked up to it and a man greeted us.
"boa noite, senhor, você tem uma reserva?" the well dressed man asked and took our jackets.. and my hat.
"Uh," I once again tried to play it cool. "..Si," I blurted out and Renesmee held back a laugh.
"Sim, temos reservas. Cullen," Renesmee said sweetly and the man seemed almost starstruck by her now.
"Cullen? Bem desta forma," the man made a gesture for us to walk right by the line and we did. As people got annoyed and sighed we tried to not notice them. It was more than awkward!
"Thanks," I nodded to the guy when we got our table. When he pulled out the chair for Renesmee I jumped in and did it instead. Both the man and Renesmee seemed surprised. He took a few steps back and almost bowed.
"Eu sou senhor desculpe," he said and I looked at Renesmee as I sat down.
"Está tudo bem," Renesmee assured him and he nodded.
"Você já sabe o que quer? Ou eu deveria voltar mais tarde?" he said and once again I looked at Renesmee.
"mais tarde," she said sweetly and he nodded and walked away. "Do you know what you want?" she asked me and opened her menu.
"No, I have no idea."
"I thought you said the steak smelled delicious," she smirked and me and I remembered.. CRAP! She had figured it out.
"I forgot," I tried to convince her. "..but I will have that," I put my menu away determined to stick to my story.
"Mhmm," she smirked and waved the waiter to come over. I decided to try out the effect of 'Cullen' in this town and handed him my credit card in a very obvious way so the name would show. He nodded and the food came quicker than I have ever experienced a restaurant work.
"I kind of like having that name here," I admitted and she chuckled.
"You just like to have people respect you," she took a bite of her food.
"Is there anything wrong with that?" I raised my eyebrows and tried to steal a piece of food from her but she stabbed her fork in the way so hard that it got stuck in the table.
"Nothing wrong with a little respect," she grinned and I took my hand back.
"I have to admit…" I nodded my head and she waited for my next words. ".. pretty hot."
She burst out in laughter and got her knife out of the table.
"Imagine if Sarah gets as tough as you are," I chuckled. ".. poor Seth."
"He could never take that," she pouted "..he is way too sweet. It would just be mean to him."
"He is a big boy, he can take it."
"You want Sarah to get bossy don't you? Just to give Seth some hell," she put her glass down in suspicion.
"Maybe," I admitted and she laughed. ".. nothing wrong with a little discipline."
"Discipline? Is our daughter going to discipline her husband?" we both flinched at her word.
"Husband?" I asked in surprise and put my hand on hers. "..proud of you."
"Shut up," she muttered and I laughed.
"You have come a long way from wanting to rip his head off," I teased.
"Who say I don't still want to?" she raised her eyebrows and took a sip.
"Hot," I said and he laughed.
"You are so childish," she shook her head in laughter.
"I'm childish?" I lowered my voice and leaned towards her over the table. ".. you are like eight years old."
"..and still more mature than you are," she leaned back and crossed her arms with a smirk.
I put my elbows up on the table and narrowed my eyes, "You know what?"
"Hot?" she predicted.
"Exactly!" I smiled and took a bite of my food.
"Oh I know," she joked and went back to eating her food. ".. wait! Hot that I'm cocky or eight years old?" she taunted.
I rolled my eyes, "HA. HA." I said dramatically and she grinned proudly over her joke. "You realize that joke can apply to our daughter don't you?" I teased back.
"Touche," she said without looking at me and continued eating. I laughed proudly at my comeback and we continued dinner.
Renesmee POV
"Are you done?" Jacob asked as I took a sip of my wine.
"Yes, I just have to go to the ladies room before we leave," I kissed his forehead before I walked into the bathroom. The decore were beautiful golden details and mirrors covering the walls. It had counters to the left with sinks and five bathrooms stalls to the right. It even had a couple of chairs and a small couch. A bit over the top if you ask me.. Since I actually didn't need to go to the bathroom I just washed my hands from all the food I had gotten on them. Sometimes I really fail at being a lady, I sighed and took a towel to wash my hands as someone came inside. When I turned around I was shocked.
Was going to write the chapter diffrently but had to just upload it since I haven't uploaded for about a week now. I have some personal issues to attend to so I won't post a bunch now. If you ever wonder why I don't post often then just check my Instagram. I will probably put the reason on there. Anyways.. hope you enjoyed this chapter and please leave reviews! It's what keeps me going at all :)
