RENESMEE'S POV

2 days or so after my first hunting trip with Alec, and I'm feeling much better, I remembered my Jacob almost immediately after hunting, but the rest of my memory is still very blank.. as I stand to go to my closet and get dressed with some of the clothes Alec was nice enough to get me, I get this wave of nauseousness, this shouldn't be from my injury, Alec said that because I'm half vampire I heal more quickly than humans, but to be totally honest I'm not sure what exactly to believe.. As the wave of nauseousness intensifies, I run to the bathroom that's connected to the room they have me in, my knees hit the tile floor hard, as I dry heave over the toilet. A second later I feel a breeze, smelling Alec's familiar scent, and feeling his hand on my back.. "What's wrong Ren?"he asks me almost desperate by concern. I don't know, I'm just so sick to my stomach, I say, heaving out the last word.. he cocks his head to the side, as if he's listening intently to something.
Then he asked, "do you think you can stand up for me? I think I might have an idea of what's going on with you.."

Jacob - after

I'm sitting on the front porch of the Cullen's big house, watching the sunset after a particularly sunny day.. remembering when Renesmee and I really started planning our future. It was a year ago today, and her aunt Kate and Uncle Garrett were getting married, and Kate had just had their son a few weeks before the wedding thanks to Carlisle's formula that allowed vampire pregnancy. Murphy Oliver Denali immediately had all of our hearts he was just so adorable with blonde hair and green eyes and the same flushed cheeks Renesmee  had when she was younger.. so as I held her as we danced The night away later that night at the reception.. I asked, "so my love what would you want our perfect future to be?" "Well, I definitely see us getting married.. And, I definitely want a couple kiddos, I've even been kicking around names, does that scare you off?!" She asked, her cheeks blushing redder than normal. I chuckle, and kiss her head, "never! I promise her, but I understand why Renesmee could be a bit bashful with this conversation, because we've only really started dating recently. So do I get to hear these names or are you going to leave me suspense?" I asked partly to put her at ease, but mostly to satisfy my raging curiosity. "I really like Joplin Seth for a boy,  Tallulah Skye for a girl, I also like Ellody Sage and Adler Silas.." "Those are beautiful names Ness! Plus I'm sure Seth will be pleased. How many kids do you actually want do you think? Maybe three," she shrugged, "what about you Jake?" "I've always thought 4 could be a good number, have 2, then wait a while and have 2 more, because we won't know how fast they'll grow, and if they'll be more like me or you.." She nods, saying, "who knows what the future holds for us.." I mean let's be real Alice probably knows everything, including things that would make us cringe.." Renesmee snuggles tighter into my chest, "all I want to think about right now is being in your arms Jacob Black, you make me so happy, and I can't wait to see where our lives take us, and I can't wait to do it all with you the good the bad and everything in between.."
I feel Alice's hand go to my shoulder, breaking me out of my memory, it's pitch black now, making me wonder how long I've been sitting here thinking about that beautiful day.. "I saw you might need this," she says, gently, handing me a handkerchief. "When you're ready come inside..  Charlie, Sue, Leah, and Seth are here, and Sue and Edward are cooking dinner, it's almost done, I know you've got to be hungry.." I wipe my face standing quickly, "thanks Alice, it's so hard to be without her..." She nods, "I'm so sorry that this happened, but, I know that Nessie will be okay, I can feel it!" She says, with fierce conviction.

Back with Renesmee and Alec, at the Volturi Castle..

Renesmee's POV

After Alec gently helps me stand up, he does something that utterly shocks me, he kneels in front of me and places an ear to my flat stomach, he stays like that for a minute, then looks at me still from the same position, and says "well things just got a hell of a lot more complicated..."
