Jacob and Renesmee

Chapter 16

(Jacob)

"Boyfriend, huh?" I ask sarcastically towards Renesmee. "You like it. Don't act like you don't." She snaps back at me. This is going to be the greatest year of my life. "Alright, I like it." I smile and squint my eyes. Her lips turn outwards into a laugh, and she walks forward to give me a bear hug. "That wasn't what I was expecting." I laugh into her ear. "What were you expecting?" She starts to caress my face. "Hmmm, maybe something like this-" I kiss her lips slowly and then pull away before it gets worse. Before the pain get worse.

Renesmee walks out of the room. What am I going to do about the imprinting stages? It starts at the physical age when she turns 15. Well, she is 5, but the rule is physical age. It will be hard to control myself. I can't hurt her. The first stage is the hardest, it lasts for around a week. I'm not sure but, I think the first stage started yesterday. I've been texting Sam about it. He thinks it is too dangerous for us. We wouldn't know what could happen if she got pregnant. What if what happened to Bella happens to Renesmee. She won't understand if I try to tell her now. She'll think there is a way around it. Wolf sperm is stronger than regular human sperm. They are specifically made for reproduction. Therefore, protection or 'birth control' won't work. I have to keep my distance from Renesmee for now.

When Sam was with Emily, he said that phasing every once and a while helped him control himself. He couldn't stand to be away from Emily, so he tried to come up with as many ways to control himself as he could. It will be harder for Renesmee and I because we have a strong sense of physical attraction. It will happen when it happens. It isn't my decision. When Renesmee is ready is all that is important. I just want to make her happy. But it is so hard to control myself. If I'm around her, I could hurt her. If I'm away from her I could hurt her.

The control will only last for so long. I don't know how long I can keep it in. I need to tell her so she will understand if its too much for me for her. If that makes sense.

I find Renesmee on one of the barstools of the kitchen and sit on the one next to hers. "Renesmee," I start, but nothing else comes out. "Yes, Jacob?" Renesmee asks pleasantly. "You know what I've told you about imprinting, right? It is hard for me to be away from you." I look down at my feet. "Are you leaving?" She shifts into a position with her right hand directly put under her chin. "No! I just- I just need to tell you more things about imprinting that I haven't yet." She puts her hand on my arm. "Tell me Jake." She says calmly "Well werewolves- Well, we go through these periods of imprinting called stages." I try to explain. "Stages?" She asks very quietly. "Yes, they- um, It starts when the imprintee turns physically 15. The wolf starts to deepen the affection with the imprintee and well... They try to have children." Her face is in pure shock. "Children?" She pulls her hand down from my arm. "Renesmee, I know you aren't ready for that. That's why we should lay off on the hard kissy-type stuff. I might go too far. I don't want to hurt you or myself because of you, so I am going to try and stay and control myself." I say trying to fit it all in one speech. "I'll make it easy for you Jacob. I'll lay off the kisses, if you lay off the gloomy mood. Kay?" She asks still bubbly and cute. "I never said lay off the kisses, I said lay off the hard kissy-type stuff." I give her a short kiss on her cheek. She giggles. "I love you." She says. "No matter what." We got up from the stools and went over to the main house.

The door was not only unlocked, but cracked wide open. All of the Cullens were inside the living room in a circle on the four area couches. "Hi! We were waiting for you two. What kept you so long?" Esme smiles with concern. "Oh, well we met a nice girl, Emorial, she came by with her little sister. It turns out she will be at school tomorrow." Renesmee cheerfully announces. "That's great honey! See! You will make friends. It will just take a while to get back into your routine." Bella walks into the room. "Speaking of routine, lets get some food into Jacob and Renesmee." Carlisle gets off the couch and walks into the kitchen pulling a pizza box out of the fridge and pops it into the microwave and then comes to sit down with the rest of the family. Esme puts a piece of paper on the coffee table. I stand up to look at it.

(Renesmee)

There was the list from the superintendent. I was officially my Mother's and Father's sister! Well, at least to the rest of the world.

I was so excited for school that I had already walked home with Jacob to our house and snuggled close to him in the sheets. "Goodnight Nessie." Jacob says closing his arms around my back. I was shivering in excitement. "Goodnight Jakey." I chuckle, and somewhere in the hole of time, I fell deep into sleep. This time I sleep knowing Jacob will fight off the nightmares, so I sleep happily. My lips push into a smile as I slowly drift away.
