A very special day. (TAG: Bella, Edward, Jacob)

[◇Renesmee Cullen◇]

The day started off like any old day. Nothing special, nothing new. The sun was still hidden behind the clouds here in Forks. The sky a normal shade of gray, boring. The weather like any other day. The only difference was it was a little on the late side to be waking up. She woke up on her own, about an hour late. The young lady swung her legs off her queen sized bed, and plopped down onto her carpeted floor. Like every morning she went right to look out her little window, which she could look out just fine. She could remember the days where she would have to jump to look out the window. Now it was nothing. She stood about 5'7, making her a little on the tall side, tall and skinny. But she could not eat enough to keep these growth bursts in check.

Today would be a good day. She just knew it would be! Just by looking outside, she just knew. It also might have something to do with her date with Jacob later tonight. Slowing turning away from her little window she went to her closet which grew faster then she did. It used to just be a little dresser, but now it seemed to have grown in not only size, but it expanded outside the house a little. Again Alice must have done this. Renesmee just looked at the bags that hug, trying to figure out where to start. There was so much here... She had to pick out something nice and special that Jack has never seen before... This was not going to be very hard. Seeing as Alice would not let her leave the house in the same thing she has warn before.

With a small sigh she started her search, first trying on some dresses, none of which she liked. Next a few pairs of jeans and a few shirt combos. Still nothing. With every new outfit she tried on she just got more frustrated. Jacob had told her to dress nice for tonight, but nothing like Prom or anything. So maybe she should try on a skit instead? Who knew. Where the heck was Alice when you needed her? Most likely with Jasper someplace.

Renesmee by chance opened a bag at random and found quite the skirt. Just what she was looking for. It was a soft shade of pink, a few sparkles at the hem of the skirt. It was a little flowly, good for dancing, The bottom was cut unevenly, making the skit reach just above her knees in some places and reaching her lower thigh it others, of course it was not at all too short. She knew her father would kill her, if she even thought about leaving this house with something too short on. He would know if she was thinking about it too. Renesmee slipped on the skit and a nice white fitted short sleeved shirt. The shirt hugged her teenage body nicely, as did the skirt.

Though she still felt sort of plain. So she went on the hunt again. She ended up finding a small brown, lacy shirt, the cut was low cut, and stopped before reaching her stomach. She slipped it on, ontop of the white shirt. It added a little more color and texture to the outfit. 'Perfect' she thought as she slipped on her pink high heeled shoes.

Of course she was not yet ready. Thought she looked very nice, she still had her hair to attend to. Now a days her hair was about shoulder length and still in ringlets. Seeing as today was going to be a special day. She figured she might as well straight it. That would be something very, very new. Nothing she has done before. So why not try it? So for the next hour or so she spend trying to straighten her hair. To her surprise her hair was rather easy to straighten. Also her hair was much longer, reaching her lower back. Her curls took a lot of length off her hair. Renesmee would put on makeup but truth was she really did not need it. Her face was already a even pale color, and her cheeks were quite red with out the help of bush. So looked like she just needed some accessory's and she would be good to go.

Man she felt like such a human. Worrying about how she looked, about what her boy-friend thought of her. All that. It was just crazy! She was really starting to get excited for her date. She had a feeling she was never ever going to forget this day. As she packed her little pink purse, she let her mind wander. Thinking of this date. Jacob had only told her to look nice, he did not say what they were doing or where they were going. she was differently getting nervous.

She figured everyone would be over at the main house, seeing as it was very quiet here. So with everything ready to go, she nodded to herself once in the mirror before running full speed to the main house. Reaching the house in a few seconds. As soon as she opened the door she saw and empty home. But that was not too important to her yet. She glanced at the time and saw that she had made it here in minutes. Jacob was due to get there any second left. And just as the clock ticked down, she herd Jacob's car pull into the drive way, and off she ran.

-Many many hours later-

Jacob's car pulled into the drive way, and out came Renesmee, her face was redder then usual, and you could see two lines running down her face, it looked like she had been crying. No really crying. Renesmee's hair was a little messed up, but that was all Renesmee's fault. She looked back at Jacob with nothing but love in her eyes blew him a kiss and walked to the door. Jacob would join them later. Renesmee though it best that she broke the news first, by her self, that way they could not kill her one and only love. Renesmee looked down at her left hand, a nice looking rock sitting nicely on her ring finger. Renesmee was still in shock as she pushed open the door. She did not dare look around, not sure what she would see, or who she would find standing there for her. It was far past midnight now, and Renesmee was way late. But today was such a special day, most of it Renesmee spend crying. Jacob had asked her to marry him, and Renesmee had accepted. She was in shock. She was so happy she was almost sad.

Edward was out for the night with Carlisle. They had some business to attend to with their accountant in the city. Bella could have gone with them, it was nothing secretive. But she knew Edward would tell her everything when he got home anyway. Nessie was out with Jacob. Their dates were becoming more and more frequent. And Jake was keeping her out later and later. Edward of course didn't like it, but they both knew that there was little they could do about it. Imprinting couldn't be stopped or reversed.

Bella sat in her reading room with a copy of Mansfield Park open in her lap. The reading light lit up the dim room and she toyed with a lock of her long umber hair. She was dressed even more for comfort than usual. She had on a light yellow tank and a pair of dark gray yoga pants. Her elegant frame made even that look good though. And her hair fell perfectly disheveled around her shoulders. She hardly ever wore make up. She didn't in her human life, but as a vampire she didn't need to. Her lashes were dark and full and her lips were full and well defined on her smooth milky skin.

She ran a finger across the page as she read, turning the pages softly so not to damage them. She heard the rumble of Jake's motor long before it got there. She glanced at the clock out of maternal instinct to see if she would need to chew Jake out later. 12:42 exactly. They were late. Recently Edward and her had decided to push her curfew back to 12. It seemed silly to give her a curfew at all, but she was still half human and they were still her parents.

Bella heard her footsteps approaching the porch and rose to greet her in the living room. She heard the door open as she entered the living room. "Nes? You better hope your dad bring your curfew back to 11 when he hears about this." She called as she put her book on the coffee table in front of the couch.

[◇Renesmee Cullen◇]

Nessie let out a long sigh as she herd her mother speak from the next room over. Renesmee was still in shock. She could not think straight, she could not think, she could not move, she was just in shock. Her mother's words meant nothing to her at the moment, she was just so lost. "Mom." Renesmee called out her head hung low. She was still trying very hard not to cry anymore. The better part of the last few hours was spend crying in Jacob's arm's. But now she was home, and she had to break the news to her parent's. She knew how her parents felt about her and Jacob, and this would be quite hard to tell them. She loved Jacob with everything, but she loved her parents too, and she just wanted to make everyone happy. But that was impossible. Renesmee looked down at the ring on her finger for a few moments before she walked into the den where her mother sat. "It's my fault I'm late." Renesmee said her left hand safely hidden behind her back. "And I apologies for that. But Jacob and I had to....talk." Renesmee said her eye's kept away from her mothers gaze. She knew he mother could see right through her, and Renesmee did not want to say anything yet. She was just trying to get over the proposal first. She was just in shock, and it showed. Using her right hand, she whipped her face again, hoping that her eye's were no longer blood shot, and the lines of tear's were no longer there. Renesmee made her way to the sofa, and plopped down next to her mother. She let herself lean over, so her head rested on her mothers shoulder. "Where's dad?" She asked, unusually quiet today. Normally Renesmee would come in dancing and blabbing away, telling Bella everything that happened on their date. Just on cloud nine, but today was different she was, quiet to her self, and almost distant. Lost.

((Not my best post, but it works.))

Bella had just put her book down when Renesmee came into the room. She looked up as her daughter started to speak. She was about to scold her again about being late when she noticed Nessie's blotchy face and wet eyes. There was something wrong. Usually all she wanted to do was gush about what she had to eat and what they did while she got ready for bed. But she was quiet tonight, she had been crying. Something was not right.

"He's with Carlisle in the city." She said as he stood up and went to Renesmee putting a hand on each shoulder and looking her in the eyes. They were looking closer in age now, but there was still an air of maturity and wisdom to Bella while Nes still very youthful and naive. She held Nessie's shoulders lightly and looked into her face. "Nes, what's wrong." She said, concern readying all across her face.

If Jake had hurt her... he couldn't have broken up with her. It was impossible. He couldn't break the imprint. Then he must have done something. If he had crossed a line Edward would know in an instant and Jake would have two rabid vampire parents to deal with. She wished Edward was there to tell her what Nessie was thinking. Then another thought crossed her mind. Was someone hurt? Did something happen? Jake would have come in with her if that was the case, wouldn't he? She had to get to the bottom of this.

[◇Renesmee Cullen◇]

"Oh." Was all she could say to her mother. So her father was not here. That was unusual. She sorta hoped to tell them together both her parents. But that was not going to happen, so her mother first. Maybe that was better, Her mother liked Jacob more then her father, so she would be easier to convince their marriage a good thing. Ah she knew that was coming, of course her mother would see right through her, Renesmee was not much of a actor. "No nothings wrong...It's not like that mom." Renesmee said. It was just so sudden, so soon. Yeah Jacob had been with her since the day she was born, but it was too soon. Her father still hated him. Renesmee just pictured a hundred or so Jacob and her father starting to get along. Only then would she think he would ask for her hand in marriage. But now? She has only been living 15 years. Yeah she looked older, but she was still so young. She knew her mother would not be okay with this, but she already said yes. "Everything's fine. Really it is." Renesmee said, a soft smile on her face, only now did she look up to her mother. "Jacob and I just... had to talk about some stuff." Renesmee said trying to figure out how to break the news. She sorta wished Jacob would come in and save her right now. Or even her father, for Edward would know right away what she wanted to say, and he would spill the beads to her mother. "And...." Renesmee said butterflys in her stomach now. "I dunno how your going to react." Renesmee said, her left hand still hidden, though her right hand slid across her upper stomach, holding herself tight. It was such a Bella move.

Bella looked deep into Nessie's eyes as she talked, as if somehow if she looked hard enough she could read her thoughts like Edward could. In a way should could read her daughter. They were so alike in their mannerisms and Nessie couldn't lie to Bella. Bella knew all her tells, mainly because they were her tells too. So she knew that Nessie wasn't lying, but she was hiding something, or at least trying to tell her something.

"Renesmee, you know you can tell me anything." She said in a very maternal fashion. A classic line she was sure she had picked up from Esme. Her own mother had a much more relaxed parenting style. Not that Bella had ever really given her reason to worry, at least not until she moved back to Forks.

She took one hand and softly wiped the skin under Nessie's eye where it was still a little wet. She hated to see her daughter cry. She had given Jake a lot of freedom lately with Nessie. Let him keep her out late, be alone with her. If he had dome something, hurt her in anyway, things would change and fast. She loved jake like a brother. But Nes was her daughter and she would do anything to protect her.

((OOC: Ag! Sorry so short! ))

[◇Renesmee Cullen◇]

Renesmee knew she could tell her mother everything. They were a family, and a family told each other everything. It did not matter what it was, or why, they can always talk. She knew this all too well. Renesmee just shook her head at her mothers comment. She cannot bring this up. She was frighten at how her mother would react. She was going to FLIP OUT! She faintly remember when she was tinny, her mother went after Jacob for imprinting her. She did not remember much, she just remember her mother looking rather... scary and then hurting Seth rather then Jacob... but that's all she remembers. "You wont like it! You'll hate him... I don't want you to hate him!" Renesmee said starting to get really nervous. The nerves were only getting worse, and she looked a little green. "I don't want you to hate him mama! I love him... I really do!" Renesmee said the tears coming back to her eye's though she did not let them fall. "And he asked me to marry him, and I said yes.... I said I would marry him, even know dad hates him... I said I would." Renesmee said her breathing starting to get quicker. She was going to have a panic attack or something. And it's not becasue she was marring Jacob, no she was happy about that. She was more worried about how the rest of her family would take it. She was frighten that they would shun her, hate her even for marrying Jacob. She just wanted to please everyone, and when she could not make everyone happy, she panic. Which is what she was doing now. Renesmee only now let her left hand fall to her side, the rock on her finger shinning as the light hit it. "I'm sorry... I love him... I do, and I know dad does not like him, I know... but I can't say no to Jacob mom, he's my everything!" Renesmee continued, but was not able to speak anymore, for her breathing was getting all the quicker, so she stuck her hand upon her mothers cheek, and showed her. Showed her mother how it happened, how she loved it, how she cried she was so happy, how she dreamed of walking down the Isle, Jacob waiting for her at the end. How all she ever wanted was to be with Jacob. Yet at the same time she showed her panic. Showed how she almost feared her father's reaction. Feared what the rest of her family would think(this included the Denali Coven). Just freaking out in general. she was young, and she knew it, she was unsure of how or what to do, how to react to all this, it was just getting over whelming, just getting too much for her to handle.

((She is sooo overreacting!! But it works! haha ))

Bella smoothed her hair as she began to talk. She was rambling about how Bella wasn't going to like what she was about to hear. She tried to imagine why she would have reason to hate Jake. It was clear that's who Nes was talking about. As soon as she started talking about how much she loved him, Bella's stomach dropped. She knew what coming.

Bella returned her hands to Nessie's shoulders as Nessie said it. He had proposed? No, not yet. Bella didn't say a word. She took Nessie's hand in her own and then picked up her left hand and looked at the ring shining on her left hand. She pursed her lips and then pulled herself back to sit on the sofa. She wasn't one to freak out about something like this. But inside she was spinning. She looked at her daughter dressed in a pretty pink skirt and lace top, she knew this would happen eventually. She just had hoped it would not be so soon.

"Nessie I..." She stopped suddenly, rethinking her word choice. "You're just so young." She said shaking her head. How could Jake do this. They had talked about this. He had agreed to wait. What had changed? Sure, Nessie's body was growing faster than anyone could have expected, but she was still so young inside. Nessie was starting to hyperventilate, but Bella did her best to be gentle. But she didn't have to be gentle with Jake.

Engaged? She knew imprinting was strong and that Jake and Renesmee were destined to be together. There was nothing she or Edward could do about that. But how soon they let their daughter go was something she could help. She wasn't ready.

[◇Renesmee Cullen◇]

"I know... I know!" Nessie pretty much cried. She too fell to the sofa, snuggling up to her mother. "I tried to tell him, but he said everything was okay... and I love him Mom! I really do." She said trying to defend herself, and her love. "I want to marry him, I want to be Renesmee Black." She continued, though her voice was pretty much muffled, for her head was digging into her mother's rock hard shoulder. "But I don't want to leave... I want to stay here.... but I want to be with Jacob..." Renesmee said the battle starting up inside her once more. She wanted to be with Jacob she really did. But... marrying Jacob meant, they would get their own house, and Renesmee did not want to leave her parents yet. She did not want to leave the Cullen's. She wanted to love him. She wanted to be his wife... but she was scared. She did not know how to be a wife, how to be a lover... she just knew how to be who she was. She had so many questions, but she was too frighten to ask. She did not want her mother to get mad at her for thinking about these things. She had questions about how a family worked...how she too can be a mother. Things along those lines. The most she's ever done with Jacob is kiss him, and the rest was too soon for her. But if they got married, when they got married, things happened, and she was just scared. She knew how it worked, she took many classes, her peers talked about it, but still, she could not help but be scared. "I don't want to leave you. but I want to go with Jacob." she said her arms around her mother tightly. She was confused. She wanted to get married, she wanted nothing more, but she was not ready to give up her life. She was not ready to be an adult. She wanted her parents to want her home by 11. She wanted to hold her mothers hand as they walked in the forest. She wanted so much, but she had to pick. Be a Cullen, or a Black. A child or adult. "Tell me what to do." She cried. She could not help it, she did not want to pick. She wanted her mother to take care of it fix it make it better, make her happy again. (Not that she was not happy, she was just scared.)

Bella let Nes dive into her lap and tried to comfort her by stroking her hair. She stared off into space as she listened her daughter plead for help. She was confused, as any half vampire half human in love with a shape shifter should have been. Bella hurt for her daughter. She hated to think of who much pain she was in trying to please everyone but wanting someone so bad. She knew how that felt all too well.

When Nessie seemed to be done pouring it all out for her Bella continused to stroke her hair "Shhhhhhh..." She soothed. "It will be ok." She said quietly, to Nessie but also to herself. She wished Edward was there, not for his mind reading, Nessie was pouring everything out now. She just needed someone to tell her it would be ok. On the other hand, Edward would probably not be as calm as she was, or at least was pretending to be.

She took her daughter by the hands and guided her to sit next to her on the sofa. She leaned Nessie's head onto her shoulder. "It will be ok." She said again. "But we need to talk about this. You, me and your father. Jacob too." She said softly but firmly. She would have to restrain herself from taking off Jake's head. She would have to restrain her HUSBAND from actually trying to take Jake's head off. "Nessie, just calm down." She said trying to keep her daughter from going into hysterics.

[◇Renesmee Cullen◇]

Her mother always knew just what to do, how to act. Renesmee loved her for it. As her mother stroked her hair lightly, Renesmee started to relax a little. Get her head back. Her emotions ruled her life, so having her head was a good thing. As she was shifted so she sat next to her mother, she took a few deep breaths, closing her eyes and just relaxing. She wished Jacob was here right now. Not that she did not lover her mother, but he always knew how to cheer her up, how to make her laugh again. "It'll be okay" She repeated, trying to make herself and her mother feel better. Her voice was in a whisper, one a humans ear might not be able to pick up, she knew her mother would hear her LOUD and clear. "I don't know if that's a good idea...to have Jacob here." She said in the same whisper. "Dad might kill him." She added, her eye's still closed, her head still resting upon her mothers shoulders. "I'm just nervous about telling him." she added with a sigh. "I know daddy does not like Jacob... but do you think he'll ever accept us as a couple?" Renesmee glanced up at her mother, looking over her lashes making her look shy and childish more so then before. "I'm just worried." She repeated with a sigh. She was VERY much worried. Scared half to death that Jacob would let something slip, then her father would get mad, he would do after Jacob, her mother would get mad try to break it up, only ending in someone getting hurt. She had nightmares about it sometimes. Though she never though about them around her parents. Nor has she told anyone about that. She did not want anyone to worry about her.
