Perfect Day (After Breaking Dawn)

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Renesmee Cullen

Jacob and I drove down to the lake because we didn’t want to waste the lovely day we were having. We walked down the warm grains of shimmering sand to the water’s edge. We spread out our towels and sat down. The warm sun beating down on us was a rarity and we loved every minute of it. “I love your skin in the sunlight,” Jacob said brushing his fingers along my shimmering arm. I never liked it; it was never as pretty as my family’s diamond skin. “Well you should thank my dad for that,”

“Maybe I will,” he laughed. 

“Do you remember what happened when I told what imprint means?”

“Of course how could I forget, why?”

“I was just thinking about it because there’s a new member to the pack, Joseph; he told his imprint what it means.”

“Oh, what happened?”

“She freaked out she said she wasn’t ready for the commitment or whatever,”

“Did they break up?”

“Yeah, he’s a mess,”

“I feel so bad for him,”

“Yeah me too, we can’t all have somebody react the way you did”

“I guess not,” I said as I looked out over the water remembering the day Jacob told me.

It was on my birthday the one when I reached maturity and Jacob sat me down with my parents to explain……

“What’s going on guys,” I was freaking out. What did they want to talk to me about? Oh my god did somebody die?

“Renesmee will you please come down nobody died, we just have something wonderful to share with you,” Edward said pulling into reality. Good nobody died, wait wonderful news? Suddenly I felt a warm hand envelope mine. I turned to my right seeing a very nervous looking Jacob.

“Jacob maybe you should tell her now,” Edward said.

“Tell me what?” I said stopping Jacob from speaking

“Renesmee, let Jacob talk,” a new voice said, it was Bella.

“Ok,”

“Renesmee, you know how I always say we have a special bond together called imprinting?” said Jacob.

“Yes,”

“Well when I told you I left out a few details.” He said. Details, what details? “Like what?” I asked my voice shaking a little.

“Well imprinting is more than the two of us sharing a bond that will never break it’s a lot like love at first sight, only stronger.”

Wait a second Jacobs in love with me? “So all the stuff you said about when you saw me all the other ties holding you down including gravity were cut and replaced by me, was that more of a…a.. r… .r..romantic thing?” I asked barely able to get the last part out. “Yes but I never thought of you romantically then but you’re older now an-,”

“What he is trying to say is he is in love with you,”

“Thanks Edward but I was getting there,” Jacob sounded annoyed. “Yes but you were taking so long and you were confusing her,” Edward said flatly.

“No I’m not confused I understand,” I said as I wrapped my arms around Jacob’s neck pulling him close to me before kissing him.  He wrapped his arms around my waist returning the kiss. 

Remembering that my parents were watching I reluctantly pulled away and said, “I completely understand,”

“Renesmee you’ve been quite for a while, everything alright?” Jacob said pulling me from the memory. “Yeah, sorry I was just thinking about that day,”

“Oh,”

“Jacob tell me more about Joseph,”

“Well he came to Forks just after we left but he only phased about a week ago. Um he’s my age…. Oh and Sam seems to think he wants to be alpha,” he said.

“Oh that’s a waste of time thinking that Sam’s alpha,”

“Things can change, just look at me,”

“Yes I know but you had to give up being alpha because you moved away from the pack,”

“That’s true,” he sighed know he couldn’t argue with me.

We lay back I rested my head against his chest and he put his arms around me. “I love you Jacob.” I said

“I love you too Nessie. Actually speaking of love there’s been something bugging me lately.” 

“What’s bothering you, anything wrong?”

“It’s…its well your mother.”

“Jacob, tell me.” I said as forcefully as I could though my voice was shaking. “It’s nothing bad it’s just I’ve been trying to figure out why I ever um,” He paused for a moment, “loved her.” He looked away from me at the love part. “I think you were drawn to her because well this sounds crazy but you subconsciously knew that I was her unborn child and you knew I was somewhat apart of her,” I said sounding very unsure as I explained my theory. “I don’t think that’s crazy it actually makes me feel better.” He said.

“Oh then I’m glad.”

“And to think I was feeling guilty knowing that you knew that I loved your own mother, when you had it all figured out,” he said letting out a dry laugh.  

I looked out at the cool blue water in front of us suddenly feeling the heat of the hot sun beating down on us. “Jake let’s go for a swim.”

“But we don’t have swimmers.”

“So?”

“Alright fine”

 I got up took Jakes hand and dragged him down to water. We ran out until we couldn’t stand. We splashed each other playfully along the way. All of a sudden out of the blue Jake picked me up and threw me of the sand bank into the deep water beyond it. “Hay!” I screamed “that wasn’t very nice.” Jacob was laughing so hard he was gripping at his sides in pain. Well let’s see how he likes it. I reached out to him pretending I needed help to get up. When he grabbed my hand I yanked it back sending him crashing into the water. Now it was my turn to laugh. “You are so dead Renesmee!”

“You gotta catch me first,” I yelled back as I started running towards the shore.

Within minutes Jake caught up to me almost tackling me to the ground. He started tickling me, I kicked my legs and threw my best punches at him but all it did was make him laugh at me. “I (laugh) hate (laugh) you!” I tried my best to get the words out through my laughter. “I love you too Nessie,” he said as he stopped tickling me to kiss me lightly on the lips.

“Come on we better get back.” He sighed.

“Yeah, the first day of owning my car and we are already going to ruin the seats.” I laughed

“Well that’s your fault for wanting a swim now isn’t it?” he taunted.

“Whatever, let’s go home now Edward and Bella will be worried.”

“Yeah,” he said wrapped his arm around my waist as we headed for the car.
