Chapter 14: Renesmee's POV

I stood outside of the house, all of us crowded on the front porch. Eventually I turned the doorknob after finding my courage. This was going to be hard and I knew it, but I was sure that after a while, it could all be fixed and perhaps we could all live together in happiness. That's what I hoped at least. I opened the door slowly to smell grandpa's, grandma's, and Jake's scent. Great! Not that I wasn't happy to see Jake, but this wasn't exactly a good time for him to be here. Unless… grandpa had planned this. And knowing him, it would be to help end the anger between Jake and my father. Why do I smell leeches! Did grandpa not tell him I was bringing everyone here? Oh well, can't walk out now.

"We're in the living room honey!" Grandpa said. I sighed and motioned everyone forwards. And as soon as we came into everyone's view, Jake's expression began angered,

"EDWARD! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" He growled, moving into a position to run and tumble my father to the ground. Shit! No! Jake! I couldn't let him attack my dad. I raced to jump behind Jacob, but my holding him back was only helping a little bit. I needed to do something. If Jacob attacked dad, their relationship wouldn't be any better.

"Stop Jake!" His anger was overloading and when this happened, he couldn't hear anything around him. I had a strategy, but I knew it would be odd for my father. It was the only thing I could think of to save them both from attempting to tear each other apart. So with my vampire speed, I sped in front of him, grabbed his head in my hands and crashed my lips onto hips, moving them fluidly against his. It took only seconds for me to feel his body heat lower, which made me smile. Though... I had heard my father sigh awkwardly as he looked down to his feel. With one last kiss I pulled away, patting his chest. "Look, we brought him here. Grandfather wanted to see him." Jake looked at my brothers and Charlie, all of them nodding in response.

"When did you meet them?" Jake asked, looking me in the eyes, caressing my cheek with his hand. I smiled and leaned into his touch. I raised my hand, gently pressing against his as well, placing a kiss on his palm.

"It's okay Jakey. They go to school with us. Dad is my biology partner. Please, be nice... for me?" I begged, leaving a kiss on his cheek. Jake took a deep breath and nodded, his temperature lowering to normal levels. Alice squealed.

"That was a truly romantic moment! If you two weren't supernatural, I would have said that you two should be actors!" Jake smiled. He must have been okay with Alice, I mean everyone tended to like her anyways. I turned around to see dad's family all staring at me "awestruck" because of the kiss. From then, my dad walked towards grandpa and moved his hand to shake Charlie's.

"Hello Charlie. It's been a while... I'm sorry about everything." He said, sincerity in his voice. He looked into my grandfather's eyes contently. "Is it possible that we could talk alone?" Grandpa nodded as he and dad walked out towards the backyard. I felt bad for listening in, but I couldn't help it.

Charlie... I'm so sorry about this. About all of this. I was gone and it was all because of my stupidity that Bella had to care for them on her own. I can't even begin to explain how sorry I am for leaving. Running away would be a better term. I should have been there, to help take care of them. To help take care of what I helped to create. I love them so much now that I know they exist. Once I found out that Bella... passed away I can't even begin to explain the sorrow I feel and I can't imagine how much sorrow you and the children hold. Now... I just want to say that I don't plan on ever leaving them. I plan on being there for them like I should have been years ago. I wish Bella was here so I could apologize to her, but also you. I'm sorry that you had to take them on... when they weren't your responsibility. I hope that you can come to forgive me someday. And just so... so you know, I want to have them with me someday. Life has given me something that I don't ever want to lose again.

Edward I'm glad that you are stepping forward about this. If you didn't feel this guilt, sorrow, and sadness I would tell you to walk right back out of my damn door. Now... I won't lie, I am not happy with you about any of this, you leaving the way you did. Though I am happy that you have apologized. I understand how you feel. Though I didn't lose Bella's mother renee in the way they and you lost Bella, once I had Bella here, I didn't want to let her go, ever... fate has a cruel personality... Anyways... I don't blame you for wanting them with you always. It's up to them when they want to join you, but until then, I think it's best to let them live here until they are full comfortable with your family. Though I have no qualms with them staying over nights and stuff. Just wait until they're ready. But let me warn you, if you leave again, I'll sick Jacob's pack on you.

I smiled, happy that they were slower coming closer to closing the gap.
