Chapter 7: So Human?

Earlier that same day

Edward's POV

Jacob, Leah, and Seth arrived here early in the morning. It's amazing how those three never seem to run out of energy.
They had started asking us a lot of questions, questions that we weren't able to answer.
Bella and I were anxious to see Nessie again because we wanted to find out as much as we could about her. Unfortunately the weather was nice today so those plans went straight out the window. So Jacob and Seth decided to go look for her. Jacob wanted to see her for his own reasons as well. He just wanted to see his Nessie again. When she was little those two were inseparable. I know she felt the imprint as strongly as he did even though we had forbidden Jacob from telling her about it until she was older.
Also, Jacob was anxious to see what she looks like now, and how she turned out.
They didn't come back until about noon and for some reason the two of them were very wet.
"Why are you two so wet?" I asked.
"We found Nessie and her sister at the beach. After talking for awhile Nessie taught me how to surf" Jacob said.
"and her sister Sarah taught me" Seth added.
I saw what happened in Seth's head, he imprinted on Sarah.
"You imprinted?" I questioned.
"You imprinted? On who?" asked Leah.
"On her sister" answered Seth.
"Congratulations Seth" I said.
"Yes little bro, congratulations" Leah said.
"Thanks, and stop calling me little bro" he said.
"Oh, and we made dates with them later" Jacob said.
"You what?!" I shouted in anger before running to Jacob at my full speed and grabbing him by the throat.
"Get your hands off of me!" he shouted as he attempted to push me away.
"She is too young to be dating!" I shouted.
"She's 17!"
"You stupid moronic idiot! She only thinks she is 17! She's really 13! Remember?!" I continued to shout at him.
By now Leah and Seth were trying to separate us.
"What is going on here?!" shouted a familiar voice that made all four of us freeze.
"I can't believe that after 13 years you two idiots still can't be in the same room together for five minutes without killing each other!" Bella continued to shout.
"I thought that the two of you would have been over this by now. But, I guess the two of you still need to be babysat like little kids!" Bella shouted at us.
"But, Bella.." I started but she silenced me with a glare. My wife has always had a way of scaring me without even having to say anything.
"Now can you two calmly and civilly explain what you two were fighting about now" Bella said.
"He asked our 13 year old daughter out on a date for tonight" I said through gritted teeth.
"Edward she is physically and mentally 17" Bella explained.
"She's too young" I said.
"Edward whether we like it or not we can't control who or when she dates. That decision is up to her human parents. We can't control Jacob either" she said.
"Fine" I said. I had no choice but to go along with it.
"Now the entire family is coming. We need to ask Jacob what he found out" Bella explained.
Once everyone was in the living room Jacob started telling us what he learned from Renesmee.
"She does know that she is adopted" he started.
"She does, well that will make this somewhat easier" Rosalie said.
"How did she lose her memory?" Carlisle asked.
"Her parents told her that she had run into the middle of the street looking very panicked. They tried to avoid hitting her but they just couldn't. When she woke up she didn't remember anything" he said.
"How did she know her name?" I asked.
"She had the bracelet that you gave her for her birthday" Jacob told me.
I remembered that bracelet. Nessie loved it so much that she would never take it off.
"She still has it" Jacob continued.
"She also told me that her body was strange" Jacob said.
"Strange how?" Carlisle asked suddenly very curious.
"She hardly ever gets sick and when she does her colds only last like a day or two. She would get over any kind of injury or illness much faster than the average person. She broke her leg once but it only took two weeks to heal. She can't get a tan if her life depended on it and she never gets sunburned at all no matter how hot it is. Her teeth are much sharper than average. She told me that her family calls her there human can opener because she can utilize her teeth to open up any can. The most interesting part is that when she was hit by the car the doctors didn't expect her to make it because of extensive internal injuries, but she made a miraculous recovery, also she loves human food"he explained.
That shocked us all, my daughter was known for her hatred of human food.
"Well this is interesting" Emmett said.
"Extremely" Carlisle said.
"I'd like to know why she grew up at a human rate" Bella said.
"I have a theory. When she lost her memory she lost touch with her vampire half. So her human half took over and most of her vampire traits became dormant. Based on the information that Jacob got, she still has some active vampire qualities" Carlisle said.
"If she got her memory back would her vampire side come back as well?" Alice asked.
"If my theory is correct then yes it would. Her vampire traits would slowly reawaken as she slowly gained her memory back" Carlisle explained.
"So, how do we help her? I want my granddaughter back" Esme asked.
"We get to know her. We earn her trust. We keep asking her questions. We tell her stuff that might jog her memory. Eventually when we tell her the truth about us, that will also help" Carlisle said.
"We can't just expect her to drop her current family either. That wouldn't be right" Alice said.
"This is all very complicated" Carlisle said.
"I just want her back. Every time that I see her it kills me. It kills me that she sees me as a total stranger" Bella said.
I was overwhelmed with guilt. I was not only the reason that Renesmee was stolen, but I caused my wife's suffering.
I suddenly felt relaxed and I looked up to see Jasper sending me waves of calm.
"I just wish I knew who took her! I wish I knew how she ended up with humans when it was a vampire that took her!" I shouted in frustration.
"I think she escaped. Think about it, why else would she run into the middle of the street panic stricken. She must have been in the process of escaping when her parents hit her" Carlisle explained.
"I hope so. I hope that my little girl was able to outsmart her kidnapper" I said and everyone else just nodded in agreement.
"You can all see her later. She and her sister are coming for Seth and I around eight for our dates" Jacob said.
"She is going out with that mutt! I can't believe it, even when she doesn't know him she still wants to be with him!" Rosalie said rather loudly.
"Calm down babe" Emmett said.
"I just can't believe it" she said.
"It's the imprint. She still feels it" Jacob said.
Once eight o clock came around we heard them pull up into our driveway and they commented on our house. They rang the doorbell and Carlisle was the one to answer.

"Hi, we're here for Jacob and Seth. I'm Renesmee and this Sarah" she said sticking her hand out towards him for him to shake
"I'm Carlisle. Nice to meet you both. Why don't you come inside" he said.
"Okay" she said.
Carlisle's eyes kept scanning Renesmee's body. He was confirming the theory he had come up with earlier.
Esme appeared at that time.
"Renesmee, Sarah, this is my wife Esme" Carlisle said.
Esme just smiled at them.
"Nice to meet you" Nessie said.
"Nice to meet you both" Esme replied
Everyone but Jacob and Seth appeared. After some time they came.
That mutt was looking at my daughter as a woman now.
"Well, you look stunning Nessie" Jacob said as he took in her appearance. I growled at him in response. If that dog knows what's good for him he will behave.
"You too Jacob" she said.
All of a sudden her thoughts shifted dramatically. She imagined just how Jacob's tongue would feel down her throat and her's would feel down his. She was thinking that she suddenly felt ten degrees hotter and her heart started beating faster.
Unwilling to witness my innocent little girl's imagining of what french kissing Jacob would be like I cleared my throat snapping her out of her fantasy.
"Shouldn't you guys get going already?" I asked looking at my daughter still unable to comprehend how the innocent little girl of mine was capable of such thoughts.
"Ugh yes" she said hastily and they all left.
