Nina POV

I knew after embrys attack the chances of being aloud to go to college were slim to non! My mother was way to protective of myself, if either of my other siblings wanted to go to college she'd be smiling, waving them off and telling everyone how proud she was of them, but me.. No that wouldn't happen, it took enough to get her to allow me to go to school.

Flashback

"Renesmee, I've been meaning to speak to you about this for a while now" grampa said as my mom and dad came around the big house, where myself, jett and annalee were at 'school'

"What's up dad?" Mom said unlinking hands from my dad and walking over to us.

"Actually this concerns you too Jacob" daddy looked confused but came over with my mom.

"Well now that all of the children's ageing have dramatically slowed" grampa began, our ageing had slowed a lot... It was august when this conversation took place, just before schools would return after Christmas. Jett would turn 8 in the May. I would turn 7 in a few days and annalee would turn 7 in the march.

"I propose we discuss sending the children to school" mom looked angry instantly towards our grampa.

"Absolutely not" mom said waving her hand in the air.

"Please mom!" I begged from next to grampa, this wasn't fair.

"No way nina! What if something were to happen to you? I couldn't live with myself" grampa sighed.

"Renesmee honey, millions of human children across the world go to school everyday and come home in one piece. Don't you want your daughter to experience life?" Mom growled and dad linked his hand with hers trying to sooth her.

"Don't tell me how to parent my children dad! Of course I want my kids to experience life, but nina is vulnerable! You know as well as I do that anything could happen to her"

"Mom what about annalee and jett? If they were there I'd be ok" I knew my siblings wanted to go to school too, but that was more for the social life than the learning like myself.

"Nina this isn't up for discussion"

"But you went to school!" I said raising my voice a little I was getting irritated.

"Yes but I'm half vampire! I can protect myself" mom said biting back.

"Oh so because you and dad have messed up genes and I end up a human I can't enjoy my life! Gee thanks it was bad enough I'm the freak of this family and now you have to go and make my life even better! That's mom! Thanks a lot" I snapped, mom looked heart broken. I never raised my voice at her, ever and now I was confronting her over something so simple as school.

"Nina!" Dad scolded, he wrapped his arm around my moms shoulders but she just looked at me blankly.

"Is that how you really feel?" She said barely.

"Sometimes... Yeah" mom chocked back a sob.

"I'm... So sorry darling" she sighed "if your brother and sister go, you can go to school" I practically screamed and hugged my mother tightly. She smiled a little and then pressed her palm to my dads cheek, she was telling him something, his eyes were locked on hers. He nodded a little and stood up, he wrapped his arm around her and they walked over to the door.

"Where are you going?" I asked confused, they always stayed for dinner on a Friday.

"Let them be nina" grampa said as mom and dad left.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"It's very hard for your mother to let you go, your precious to her and she can't help but worry about you most, she just needs some time" I nodded and felt guilty about what I'd just said to her.

"Don't worry sweetheart, she isn't mad at you" grampa said hearing my thoughts I nodded and took off outside to tell my siblings about the news, they'd Proberly already heard but still.

Flashback over.

I later found out from my pissed off brother that my mother was crying a lot that night. He said it was horrible to hear, i was secretly glad that night I didn't have supernatural hearing, I don't think I could of stood to hear my mother cry to my dad about how horrible she felt. When school came around mom was very supportive but she was on edge till I got home, I could tell the way she hugged me when we got back, I did miss her when I was at school but I was glad to have some normality in my life. Graduation was next month and I really had to tell my mom about me wanting to go to college.

"Nina" my friend beth said next to me during lunch.

"Yeah?" I said, I was pulled from my thoughts of college to her smiling at me.

"Did you do you science work? It's due next period" I nodded.

"Yeah I've done it" she smiled and went back to her lunch.

"Hey beth"

"Yeah" she responded taking a bite from her sandwich.

"Are you going to college?" She smiled.

"Well I'm trying to, I really want to get the grades so I can go to Yale or Princeton" I nodded.

"Are you?" She asked when I didn't respond.

"Mmm i don't know" she looked confused, but I seen my brother looking at me from the other side of the cafeteria, I shrugged and he leaned over and whispered something in my sisters ear, they were both sat on the 'popular' table or as I call it the table of people with 0 IQ's apart from my brother and sister of course, they were pretty smart. Annalee looked up at me and looked pissed off, she said something to her friends and came over to me.

"Can I have a word?" She asked.

"No" I said simply.

"Yes I can" she grabbed my hand and pulled me off my seat and dragged me out of the cafeteria.

"Are you stupid! Do you want to hurt mom more than you did asking to come here?" She said sounding Irritated.

"I never said I was going to go!" I snapped.

"But you want too! Just like you wanted to come here. You'll make mom feel bad again and she will have no choice but to give in, she goes through hell letting us especially you come here everyday nina!"

"Don't patronize me little sister" I snapped.

"Don't little sister me nina! Were the Same fricken age!" She yelled back.

"Girls is there a problem here?" A teacher asked who was passing by.

"Nothing we can't handle miss" annalee said sounding pissed off.

"Mmm of course" the teacher sounded less than convinced but carried on walking.

"I won't make mom feel bad annalee I promise, I don't even know if I'll ask her yet" annalee sighed.

"If you make her feel had nina I swear to god"

"You'll do what?" I scoffed.

"Don't even tempt me" she bit back before turning around and storming back into the cafeteria, I followed and sat back down. I seen her saying something to my brother, I knew jett wasn't as bothered as annalee was, I had spoken to jett about college before and he was encouraged me to speak to mom but I guess annalee didn't like that idea very much. A couple minutes later everyone from the 'popular table' got up and began to walk out of the cafeteria, as my siblings passed me annalee didn't even look in my direction but jett mouthed 'sorry' to me as he wrapped his arm around alexas shoulders. The rest of the school day was pretty much a breeze. After school i had a choice, get a ride with Beth, Annalee or Jett. I couldn't drive, nor did I want too but I didn't mind getting lifts. Jett got his car when he turned 7, he got a new range rover in black, he liked it because he could sit in it comfortably due to his heigh, he'd defonatily inherited that from our dad. Annalee had a white Porsche. In my opinion they drew way to much attention to themselves, but they'd never listen if I said that. I decided to get a ride home with Beth since she offered. When she dropped me off my brother and sister were already home. When I got inside mom was asking them about there day.

"The last game before I graduate is next week, you and dad are coming right?" Jett said.

"Of course I'm coming sweetie"

"And I'll be cheering too" mom smiled.

"Good" I put my bag down and walked over.

"So what are you all doing tonight?"

"Me, annalee, Alexa, Claire and quil are going out" mom looked amused.

"Why is quil going?"

"Claire insisted" annalee said waving her hand.

"And isn't embry going?" Mom said smiling at annalee.

"No"

"Why?"

"Because i didn't invite him... Geez" annalee said walking upstairs, mom smirked and jett shook his head before following her up, there was something going on there but I'd find our eventually I suppose.

"Mom I was wondering if I could maybe talk to you about something, I mean I don't want you to freak out or anything it's just an idea" her eyebrows fused together but she nodded and we went into the living room and sat down.

"Wait first where's daddy?"

"He's with your grampa billy and Rachel" I nodded and sighed.

"Mom when you left school why didn't you go to college?"

"Because when I left school I was already a married women with a son" I looked up surprised.

"You had jett while you were at school?"

"Well technically no, once I found out I was pregnant, I left and them when 12grade started back I joined back with them"

"So when you were like my age you had already had a baby?" Mom nodded.

"Yeah sweetie, I thought you already knew all this?"

"Well I knew you had him young but I figured you'd left school or something, did grampa go crazy?" Mom smirked.

"Not really, he was more disappointed if anything... You see he didn't know myself and your father were being intimate"

"Wow TMI mom TMI" mom chuckled.

"Yeah well i almost fainted one day. Your grampa heard my thoughts obviously because he knew it happened, when I went to Emily's with your dad, I got sick because of the smell of raw meat, your aunt Rachel persuaded me to take a pregnancy test and then I found out I was pregnant, when I told your dad he also told me he was planning on proposing to me at midnight, everything was just amazingly timed, it really as an amazing night" mom was smiling to herself as she thought about her memory.

"That's so sweet mom" she nodded.

"Yeah it really was"

"So I guess, if you had never gotten pregnant with jett, you maybe would of gone to college" mom shrugged.

"I guess maybe, I know your grampa always wanted me to go, he thought I was so smart it would be a waste not too" I nodded.

"Why are you asking all this honey" I was about to answer but annalee came into the room.

"I'm off mom, I won't be late love you" she kissed moms cheek and she looked at me and took a deep breath, I just ignored her and she left, she clearly knew what I was building up too. I waited till the front door closed and then turned my attention back to mom.

"Well graduation is coming up right" mom nodded.

"And I was really hoping and wondering if maybe I could apply for some colleges"

Renesmee POV

I sighed mentally and out loud when nina asked to go to college, I knew it was coming. I was only speaking to jake about it the other night, he told me not to freak out like I did when she asked to go to school just talk about it with her.

"Ok... And where would you want to study at?" I asked.

"Well I was thinking maybe, Seattle or even Alaska and I could stay with Denali's their always asking when we are going to stay" she had really been thinking about this.

"And what do you want to study?"

"I want to become a doctor mom, just like grampa Carlisle"

"Honey are you sure? There's a lot of hard work involved in becoming a doctor, and there could be a lot of blood involved"

"Mom blood doesn't bother me" she insisted.

"How do you know nina? You've never been exposed to it before, not properly anyways. What if your vampire side was dormant till you were treating a patient, bleeding out and about to die, you wouldn't be able to control yourself, you've seen us before nina you know how bad or can get" I said and she nodded.

"I know mom, but really I think the small amount of vampire in me is nothing, blood really doesn't bother me it never has and never will" I nodded.

"Well... You better discuss this with your grampa, he will be thrilled you want to go to college, and I suppose you better give annalee the good news I said yes" nina was grinning from ear to ear.

"Omg mom thank you so much, but why annalee?"

"She wants to go to Juilliard in newyork, but she wouldn't say anything incase I wouldn't let you go to college, she didn't want to go if you weren't aloud... She didn't think it would be fair"

"How do you know?" Nina asked.

"Your grampa heard her thoughts one day, after she opened a letter, it was an acceptance letter" nina looked a little chocked up and smiled.

"I can't believe she'd do that for me, give up one of the best preforming art schools in the country for me" I smiled

"you both may argue but she still loves her big sister" nina hugged me tight.

"I love you moma"

"I love you too my sweet girl" I kissed her head, and she went upstairs to look online at colleges. Later that night, annalee and jett text to say they were eating out so I made a pizza for myself, nina and Jacob. After dinner nina was up In her room studying and I was having a long soak in the bath.

"I proud of you" jake said as he was suddenly leaning against the door frame of the bathroom.

"Why?" I said.

"Because you are allowing nina some freedom letting her do what she wants" I smiled.

"Well aren't you the wise father who told me I couldn't wrap her up in cotton wool forever?" Jake smiled, and walked over to the bathtub.

"Room for a little one?" I snorted a laugh.

"You are not little Jacob" he smiled and pulled his shirt off over his head, I guess he didn't really need an invite after being together for almost 9years and knowing him my whole life. Jake washed my hair and I leaned back into his chest.

"Is it odd for me to say I miss you" I whispered, jake ran his hands up my Arms and kissed my neck.

"No it's not odd, I know we haven't been together very much since everything that happened with Nahuel" I nodded and kissed my neck again.

"Jake can you remember the first time we had sex?" I felt him smile against the skin.

"Like it was yesterday baby"

"And can you remember the next day? When we shared that bath?" He smiled again.

"Of course I can, and I told you we were made for each other" I nodded.

"Yeah" I said as a small tear fell from my eye, I had never loved anyone like i loved Jacob, my children and my family were the most amazing people in my life and I loved them all unconditionally but my Jacob it was different.

"I love you my Nessie" he was kissing all over my shoulders and neck.

"Mmh, I love you my Jacob" he scooped me up not caring that we were spilling water everywhere and took me to our bed were he proceeded to make love to me all night long.
