Estimated time of the year as of now is about February/March, 2013.

Renesmee easily looks 15 if not 16 as she is only about 5 months away from being fully grown.

Chantelle is 12/13.

Chloe and Zac are 15 by now.

Just wanted to clear all that up.

RENESMEE

Months had passed by since Jacob caught me and Liam skipping school. Liam was getting impatient. I told him I liked him and I wanted to be with him but I wouldn't let us move on with our relationship. There was just a part of me that was telling me I shouldn't be doing this. I tried to push that part of me away as much as I could.

Liam and I were sitting on a bench on the beach, I persuaded him I didn't want to go and find that tree again weeks ago, he thought it was cool but I felt it was disrespecting Jacob in a way. Liam had his arm securely round my waist, like he always had. Whenever we were around my family and Jacob I'd always see someone's eyes flicker to his arm perfectly placed on my waist. Or when his hand would slip down to rest on my hip I saw a strange look in Jacob's eye as he caught sight of it.

"Ness…" Liam said. I turned to look at him.

"Hmm?" I asked.

"I know this is a long shot but I really need to tell you something." He said in a whisper.

"What is it?" I asked.

"I think I love you," he said, I smiled at him but before I could say anything he leaned closer towards me. He put his hand securely on my cheek as he leaned closer and closer. Was he going to kiss me? I wanted to kiss him, just to know how it felt. He was centimetres away from my lips, he moved slowly, waiting for me to pull back. This was going to be my first kiss. Thinking them two words had me wanting to jump away. Just as he tilted his head to get closer I stood up.

"I'm sorry," I whispered.

"I'm used to it. Don't worry," he muttered.

"No I'm really sorry. I wanted to kiss you, I really did but I can't do this. I'm not in love with you, I love someone else." I said to him. I didn't know if Jacob loved me back but I knew at this point that I did. More than anything, I loved him. I just couldn't tell him. I wanted him to be my first kiss; I wanted him to be my first everything; and I would wait, forever if I had to. I knew I was only six, I knew Jake had been keeping his distance from me but if this imprint thing meant we were meant to be together then he'd come around eventually right? I just had to wait for him.

"I'm sorry," I whispered again and ran, I ran as fast as I could home. I didn't slow down to wipe tears I just ran straight up into my room.

"Can I come in?" my dad asked from the other side of the door.

Yeah. I thought. I didn't want to speak out loud; I would have just started crying heavier.

"Renesmee…" he said, his voice was pained, and he climbed onto my bed and sat next to me. I pulled myself up so I was sitting next to him. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him.

"Daddy," I sobbed and rested my head on him.

"Baby…" he whispered and tightened his arm around me. "Don't beat yourself up so much."

"But I shouldn't have let it go so far," I sobbed. My dad kissed my head gently.

"Everyone makes mistakes," he whispered. I sighed. Like he ever made mistakes. Why couldn't I be perfect like him? "No one is perfect sweetheart, do you want to hear the biggest mistake of my life?" he asked. I looked up to him.

Okay. I thought.

"About eight years ago, before you were born. I left your mother. It was the hardest six months of my life. I left her thinking that it was best for her if I wasn't in her life. I wanted her to have a normal life, one that wasn't dangerous, and one that didn't involve me. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I put both of us in so much pain. You wonder why we never seem to be apart. That's why, because even though it was eight years ago, it's still fresh in our minds, the pain, the feeling of not having each other around." He whispered to me. I leaned closer into him. "It's all okay now though, I came back. Obviously," he chuckled. I laughed a little with him

"I'm glad you did," I whispered.

"So am I, so am I," he said and kissed my temple. "The point of my story is that everything turned out okay. So it's going to turn out okay for you."

I hope so. I thought.

"It will," he insisted. "I promise you, Renesmee Carlie Cullen, it will," he said. I smiled at him.

Thank you daddy. I thought, but I couldn't help thinking about Jacob, what was going on with him?

"He's just working things out, he's confused like you. Only I don't think he's a big of a mess as you are." He chuckled. "He loves you Renesmee, more than anything. He has waited nearly seven years for you to grow and mature. As much as I hated it, you belonged to him the minute you were born. But I know him, I have seen his mind, I've seen his heart, and it's completely yours; I probably shouldn't be the one to tell you this. It should be him, but I believe you need a little push; you need to know that you're not alone in this." He said, I felt the tears threatening to fall from my eyes. I sat up to face him.

"Thank you," I whispered completely and utterly sincerely. Really.

"You're very welcome baby," he said and kissed my head.

Thank you. I thought again and wrapped my arms round his neck.

"Jacob has just come in," he whispered in my ear. I pulled back, he kissed my nose. "Freshen up and go talk to him," he said and climbed off my bed. "I'll see you later," he smiled.

"Bye," I whispered. Then when he was gone from my room I jumped up from my bed. I washed my face and put on fresh make up; I stripped from my pajamas and pulled on some skinny jeans and a tank top. I pulled my hair up into messy bun and when I thought I looked presentable I exited my room and walked down the stairs. I took a deep breath and stepped into the living room. Everyone turned to look at me. I looked straight to Jacob.

"Can I talk to you please?" I asked him. He nodded and stood up. I turned to walk out the back door of the house. He followed me until I reached the trees and then I turned around to look at him. All that courage suddenly disappeared. I looked to my feet. He stood there waiting for me to say something. I took in a deep breath and looked up. He was watching me curiously, his face straightened out when I looked at him. We stared in each other's eyes for what seemed like eternity. I didn't say anything; I reached out and touched his arm, replaying everything that happened with Liam, I felt him stiffen when Liam was close to kissing me. When I had finished with the story, after telling him what my dad said, he just stepped towards me and put his hand on my neck.

He rested his forehead against mine leaning ever so slightly towards me. I took in a sharp breath.

"Edward was telling the truth you know, I do love you," he said quietly and slowly. He moved his head to my shoulder; he took a deep breath in, breathing in my scent.

"I love you too," I said without hesitation. He pulled back and smiled at me; I couldn't help but smile back. "I didn't think it would be this easy."

"You have no idea how long I've waited for you," he said.

"Six years and seven months," I replied with a smile.

"No. Twenty three years and four months." He said. I let out a giggle.

"That's a long time," I whispered, my legs felt like they were going to collapse. Jacob wrapped his other arm around my waist holding me up.

"It was worth it," he said and leant forward ever so slightly. I closed my eyes. I could feel the heat of his lips millimetres away from mine. I moved towards him to close the space. His lips touched mine; in that second we touched the fire erupted inside me and he was completely holding me up now, I couldn't stand on my own legs but I knew this was where I was meant to be. I was complete as long as I was with Jacob. He was mine and I was his. I felt his lips part; I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling myself closer to him. I parted my lips with his. I wanted this blissful moment to last forever. Too soon he pulled away from me, a smile covering his face, I smiled back. He pecked me one last time before taking my hand. I had been with Liam for months, never kissing him, I'm with Jacob for two minutes and I don't even hesitate.

"Let's go," he whispered. I followed him willingly as he pulled me back into the house. We walked into the living room hand in hand. My mom was smiling widely at us as she caught sight of our hands intertwined. She put her hand on my dad's leg and he let out a chuckle, he kissed her head and stood up, he walked over to us and out of the room, Jacob followed after him still holding my hand.

"I've spoken about this to you before Jacob and yes, of course I'm okay with it," my dad said.

"Just wanted to make sure. What about Bella?"

"She's fine with it Jacob…" he said. "Just follow the rules and we won't get in your way. If she has to have a boyfriend I'd rather it was you than anyone else," he chuckled. Jacob smiled and pulled me closer into his side. My dad walked back into the living room.

"You asked my dad's permission?" I asked.

"I didn't want to die," he laughed. I smiled at him.

"I'm glad they're okay with it," I said.

"So am I," he said and leant in to kiss me.

"RULES!" my dad shouted from the living room. Jacob pulled back and laughed.

"Can I know these rules?" I asked. He nodded.

"No kissing in the house, no sleeping in the same room, no inappropriate touching whilst around your parents, no inappropriate touching at all, no excessive flirting around your parents and the one he enforced most. Was no sex until we're married." He said to me. I laughed nervously at the last rule. He chuckled with me. "Because apparently that's what you do when you've been together for less than an hour," he said a little louder than needed. My mom and dad came out of the living room, they stood at the door.

"If she's anything like her mother, you will notice how important that rule is," my father said.

"Edward!" my mom snarled at his side. My dad laughed. I turned in disgust.

"Ew mom," I whispered. She laughed at my reaction. "You're telling me you were together for nearly two years without-?"

"Yes because your father was too old fashioned," she laughed.

"Okay, I don't want to talk about this." I said.

"Renesmee would have come a lot sooner if I wasn't so in all honesty it was a good thing." My dad laughed. My mom tugged on his hand still glaring at him. "Go have fun," he said to us. "But not too much," he muttered walking into the living room with my mom.

"Come on," Jacob said whispering in my ear, it made me shiver. He pulled me out the door. "Wait here," he said and ran off into the trees, he came back seconds later as the wolf I loved. I smiled widely. He lowered his back.

"I think I'm a little too big to still be doing that," I laughed. He nudged me with his nose. "Jake…" I said. "I'm not five anymore." He nudged me again. "Fine," I murmured and climbed onto him. As soon as I was securely on his back he ran full speed into the forest.
