Here you go, chapter three.

Of course I do not own any of Stephanie Meyer's work, she is a genius, I am not worthy! Lol, I only own the plot to this story.

Billy was looking more and more haggard these days. I noticed also that it hurt Jacob whenever I asked why this was, so I stopped. I knew he was old, but, like Jacob, I had assumed he couldn't die that easily. From the looks of it though, that was definitely not the case.

"My, my, you get prettier every day Nessie," he was saying. Jake had promised me we'd come to La Push today, I only came about once a month. My family never came with me though, always just Jake and I. I liked it in La Push, especially the beach. Mommy would always smile whenever I told her about First Beach, but she never told me why. Today Jake was going to show me some bike of his. I was excited, and since I was almost as indestructible as my family, mommy and daddy had let me come.

Jake led me to his garage where his new bike was. I gasped when I saw it.

"Whoa! That's a big bike!" I exclaimed, circling it like a lioness. It was almost as tall as me! "Can I ride it? Can I? Pleeeease?" I began hopping up and down anxiously.

Jake chuckled, "Well, I can take you for a ride in it if you'd like, but I'd have to show you how to drive it first if you want to go by yourself."

"But, you know I won't get hurt," I laughed, stepping onto the side in preparation to mount; Jake was by my side in a second.

"I know that, but your mom would kill me if I let you go by yourself," he said, easily scooping me off the seat and reseating me behind him, "so hold on for now."

And we were off.

It was awesome. We raced down a dirt road between the trees and I was surprised when some of the colors actually looked blurry. No matter how fast I'd ever gone, I could always distinguish every tree, every rock, but not this time. So this is what human eyesight must look like…I laughed aloud.

"What's so funny?" Jake asked.

"Nothing really, it's just that we're going so fast my eyes are a little behind," I answered, scooting closer so he could hear me; it wasn't necessary of course. "I was wondering if this is what humans see when they think they're going fast."

Jake laughed, "Yea, it's something like that."

I laughed in response and let go of his waist, my legs were strong enough to keep me from falling off. The wind blew my hair violently behind me and I could feel it slightly against my face, it felt good. I felt free, clear from any troubling thoughts. The trees were never-ending, as if running their own race against us, but even they couldn't win, not against Jake and I; we were unstoppable. The speed was exhilarating, like a huge breath after being underwater for a very long time. Not even daddy could go this fast; I placed one arm around Jake's abdomen, sharing this thought. He laughed and gave the bike yet more gas. I could fly if I wanted.

After a few more minutes I could see that the road was ending. I frowned as the bike steadily came to a halt. There were two ways we could go, to the right, or back the way we came from. Jake seemed to be deep in thought as he looked at the two roads. I pressed my hand onto his chest from behind.

What's wrong Jake?

Jake sighed, "It's nothing Ness, there's just something I need to take care of, that's all." I thought this over for a second, and pressed again.

Jake, everyone's mad at you, why?

I felt his body tense, but he didn't answer. I pressed again, almost shyly.

Is it because of me?

He must have heard the heartbreak in my thoughts, for this time he turned around and gave me my favorite grin.

"No, honey, of course not, it has nothing to do with you, it's all my own doing," he assured me. I gave him a puppy dog face. He laughed and cupped my face in one of his huge hands.

"Now, now, none of that, I told you, it's my own fault, it's one of those wolf-vampire things," he said, carefully, as if trying to find the perfect words without revealing anything. Yea right, as if I was that stupid.

I scowled. You're not going to tell me, huh?

Jake nodded, a sad shadow in his eyes. I sighed.

"Where are we going now?" I asked, resigned for the moment.

"Well," said Jake, trying to sound chipper, "if we head back the way we came from we'll end up in La Push…going right is a shortcut to your house." He pretended to scowl when he motioned to the right. I decided then and there.

"Let's go right then," I said. He didn't want to tell me what was going on; two could play that game.

Jake looked surprised, and then hurt. I almost changed my mind at his expression, but he simply nodded and turned around in his seat. "Hang on," was all he said.

I held on like he said, but I felt bad now. I was just as bad as my family, hurting Jake for no reason.

We raced down the new road, only this time, I felt like the wind was pushing against us, forcing us away from the freedom we'd felt just moments before.

***************************Jacob****************************************

Heartbreak. That's what it felt like to deny her. But what else could I do? If I so much as hinted at why everyone was getting on my ass I might as well say good bye to her now. I could stand Barbie messing with my head every second of everyday, and Edward reading every private thought in my being, Esme not cooking for me like before, I could even stand Bella not talking to me, but I could never stand being away from Renesmee, that would be horrible and cruel torture.

I could feel the flutter of her heart as I took her back home. My own heart seemed to answer every beat of hers, in perfect sync, but of course she wouldn't have noticed something like that, at least not now.

I was thinking about what Carlisle had said to me last night, how Nessie wasn't to be told anything about the whole imprinting deal. It was absolute bull, in my opinion, I mean, she was going to find out eventually, right? So far our relationship had been exactly the way it should have been, first the big brother, second the best friend, and third…that was the part everyone except myself was dreading. And if imprinting was true to its word, then Nessie would fall into that third category without any complaints either, so what was everyone's deal? It's not like I was going to grab her now and make sweet love to her…though in a short time I was positive the idea would appeal to her as well as myself. Right now Nessie still saw me as her best friend, which she should be considering she was barely about ten. I myself still saw her as my best friend, but one unexpected thing about her on my part was causing all the commotion. Her body was beginning to hint at what her adolescent self was going to look like. Her narrow little waist was no longer cute little baby fat, and her once pudgy legs were now beginning to lean out as well. Having held her enough times, I also felt the more defined muscle on her thighs and arms, and no matter what little girl outfit she had on I would be blind if I didn't see that she was already showing her curves. Knowing that this progression was just the beginning of her adulthood, I could already imagine what the grown up Nessie was going to look like…wow. This was all expected, of course, she was half vampire for crying out loud, thus bound to be gorgeous, we all knew this, so why was I suddenly barely realizing how hot she was going to be later?

Of course, aside from being an imprinted shape-shifter, I had forgotten one thing…I was also male. Sure, sure, I knew I could only be Nessie's friend right now, but that didn't stop my male instincts from reacting to what was to come, especially when Nessie grew so fast. How inconvenient that male hormones and imprinting got in each other's way. The situation would've been fine, of course, as these thoughts were never spoken aloud, if it wasn't for her invasive mind reading father. Edward had approached me after my second daydream or so. He was quite scary when he wanted to be, I hated to admit. He simply told me to keep my disgusting male thoughts about his ten year old daughter out of mind, and that I was lucky Bella couldn't hear word for word what I was daydreaming about.

Now that was scary, Bella still had some of her newborn strength on her side, and when it came to Renesmee or Edward, she was not someone to battle with. After about my fifth daydream, Edward went to Carlisle. I was oddly surprised when my conversation with Carlisle turned into an argument, Carlisle had always been the understanding one, but I guess the fact that it dealt with his only granddaughter changed things.

I thought that maybe if I told Nessie about the whole imprinting thing it would be easier to not think about the future so much, that maybe Nessie could kind of help me out. On the plus side, she also wouldn't be confused or anything when our relationship started turning into that third category, she would know that it was normal due to her being my imprint. However, when I brought up these points to Carlisle, he refused me.

I sighed; it's not that I didn't understand what they all meant. Of course, Nessie was their baby, she was the only baby, and yet…It had been a little over two years since the Volturri came, and now…Renesmee was already ten. Ten. I of course had done the calculations, along with the blood suckers; Nessie would be at her full growth within the next year or two, or possibly sooner. This, along with her physical growth, bothered me, not in the sense that I didn't want it, but because I wanted it so much. It was disconcerting, how much my male instincts were suddenly kicking in. I had never been with a girl; yup, alpha Jacob Black is a virgin, but it wasn't like I could just go out and sleep with whatever floozy came my way in the meantime. There was only one girl I wanted, one girl I would lose myself to; up until recently I was perfectly fine with waiting, the thought had never even really crossed my mind, but I suppose hormones only have so much patience.

Her thoughts came flooding into my mind, causing me to jump slightly. She was apologizing for ending our day at La Push so early. I turned and grinned at her.

"It's ok, Ness, I'm happy as long as I'm with you." This made her ecstatic; she gave me a dazzling smile in return and hugged me. We were already nearing the Cullen property.

Jake, you're my best friend, I love you.

"You're my best friend too, Nessie, I'll always love you."

Ok so what do you think? Please, please review, I'd like to know what you all think, thanks!
