Never Let Me Go (Renesmee & Jacob Twilight Fanfiction) 2020

Thirty Four - Hmph! Harriet!

There was no-one around as she walked through the door, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Hey Nessie," she heard her Dad's voice say from the top of the stairs. She jumped in shock.

"Dad!"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you," he said, "what's put you on edge?" He asked.

Renesmee decided in an instant, not giving her Dad enough time to read her thoughts. She knew there was no way to avoid it much longer, so she might as well get this over with now. She could perhaps keep it quiet from the rest of the household at the same time.

"Dad, you're going to find out things from me, I need you to not tell anyone else, do you think you can do that? Even Mum," she thought.

He looked at her seriously, then moved to the sofas, gesturing for her to join him, which she did. He never took his eyes off her, like he was trying to burrow into her head. She kept her defences up, to keep him out for a little longer. She looked back at him, waiting for his response.

"Yea of course I can, what is it?" He asked aloud, but quiet enough that it could not easily be heard from the rest of the house.

She felt scared now, she had no idea how her Dad would react.

"It's ok, just tell me," he said soothingly. His voice calmed her a bit, she took a deep breath then thought.

"I'm in love with Jacob."

His eyes lit up in surprise, she'd been expecting that at least. Then she saw a smile creep from around the edges of his mouth, it disappeared in an instant as he caught her watching him.

"You can't tell anyone, especially not Jake," she thought.

"So he doesn't know?" her Dad asked quietly.

"No he doesn't and I'm not sure if I want him to."

The thoughts of him imprinting and all of her reasons connected to why she didn't want to tell Jacob filled her head. Therefore the questions her Dad looked like he was going to ask never left his lips. Instead a look of comprehension filled his face and he looked thoughtful.

"Are you mad at me?" She asked in her head, unsure of his reaction. "I know he's your friend, but I can't help how I feel."

"Aw Renesmee, of course I'm not mad at you," he said hugging her, "I'm just considering what this means."

"It doesn't mean anything, I'm not going to do anything about it. I'm absolutely fine as I am. What me and Jacob have is perfect, I don't need anything more. I can love him as much as I want to from our relationship at the moment."

"Yea, that's fine," her Dad said, "You have so much time ahead of you both, there is no need to rush anything. Just make sure you are happy," he said to her smiling.

"I always am when I'm with Jake."

"Thanks Dad, you're great," she said aloud and leant over to kiss him on the cheek and give him a big hug.

"Anything for you Ness. Just one thing though, where does Ethan fit into this?" he whispered quietly to her.

She re-thought her breaking up with Ethan and their slight interim plans to pretend they were still together.

Then said to him in her head, "Do not tell Mum! She won't like it.''

He looked at her surprised again. "That's a slightly risky strategy, just be careful will you?"

"Yea I will," she replied verbally.

At that moment her Mum walked through the front door. Renesmee and Edward casually greeted her. Neither of them showed the slightest sign that they'd had this conversation throughout the rest of the day and evening.
