Have you ever felt like you were crumbling? Like your head was about to explode and any small thing ticks you off. For all my ladies out there, don't you hate it when you are simply trying to walk to a destination at night and you have that six sense that you're being followed?

Walking back to the motel room, that feeling kicked in as well as my hearing, coming to a stop. I huffed a small laugh as the scent entered my nostrils, the wood musky smell aswell as wet dog... hmmm.

"Hey Jake." I said as I turned around to face him in the alley. "Long way from home." I dropped the bag of groceries beside me.

"I would say the same for you, come on Hope. Come home, we all miss you. I miss you." I raised an eyebrow at him, huffing a small laugh.

"What? Took for me to die and beat you to a bloody pulp to realise my worth? Nah, I am good." I gulped heavily, shaking my head as I picked up the bag of groceries. I stopped as I spun around, spotting a small girl. She looked sweet and innocent, I paused as I tilted my head at her. She smiled, as she cheered.

"Hi, auntie Hope!" She came running over in leaps and bounds of innocence, her crashing into my waist as she wrapped her arms around me. It clicked. Renesmee. No way she's this big already, holding her face to look up at me. I crouched down, observing her.

"Hi, sweetie." I gave her a soft smile, flinching as she placed a gentle hand upon my cheek. Gasping as I saw flashes of images, she was showing me all her memories she had of me. Flashes of hearing me talking from her being in the womb, the touch she felt as I placed my hand upon Bella's belly. Flashes of her hearing everyone talk about me, how they talked about killing me to saving me. Then I saw Jacob, standing there protecting my name at any counter. Then there was a flash, a flash of Jacobs arms around my waist. Our lips pressed together.

It made my heart feel like it was floating, blinking rapidly as she took her hand away from my face

It made my heart feel like it was floating, blinking rapidly as she took her hand away from my face. She reached for my eye, wiping a tear away from my eye. "Please come home, Auntie Hope. We miss you." Her small voice begged, standing up to my feet. I looked over my shoulder at Jacob, flashing my eyes at him as I encouraged Renesmee to go to Jacob.

Watching her run to him, my heart felt a metaphorical stab through the chest. Picking up my bag of groceries again, I turned my back around as I clenched my fist tightly. Feeling tears fall down my cheeks, I turned back to face Jacob and Renesmee. Seeing the Hope in their eyes, I walked towards them as Jacob sighed heavily with relief. Him gently placing down Renesmee, he picked me up in a massive scoop of a hug.

"I have missed you so so much." I tightly held him, feeling him fall to his knees.

"I have missed you so much, I am so glad you're back." He leant his head into mine, he was relieved. So was Renesmee as she squeezed her way into our hug, I leant back as Jacob kissed my head. "Shall we take you home?" I nodded as I followed him to his car. Renesmee ran in front of us as I took Jacob hand. "I'm so happy you're back." He smiled as I smiled in return, walking along the cold cobble road. I laughed to myself, thinking. You have no idea what you're in for.
