Tolerance Isn't Easy

[Alice Cullen]

It had stopped raining, it had been all day, and everything was wet. Alice loved the rain. Its sound was calming, and being in it was fun. But the little sparkle that came off of ever drop as it sat on a leaf, producing a million little rainbow-coloured lights, that was something she would always love to see. Walking inside through the kitchen back door, Alice shook her head a little, sending the few water drops from her head onto the floor before heading off up stairs. Of course, she had been out in the rain. She didn't use her car to go around today. Making her way to her and Jasper's room -- well, what was technically her room since Jasper's was more of a study -- she went to the closet -- if it could be called that. Quickly, she changed out of her damp clothes, throwing them away in a pile of used clothes after she put on fresh clothes. To others, it seemed like a waste, but hey, at least they gave the clothes to people who needed them sometimes.

With a quick glance at the time, Alice headed downstairs. Renesmee should be back soon. The fact that she couldn't see her niece, or see anything while she was around was something she had a hard time adjusting to, and it hardly helped that Nessie was almost always with Jacob. Alice and the others were trying there best to be nicer to him -- everyone but Rosalie -- but habits and instincts weren't easy to change.

---tag: Jacob, Renesmee, Cullens--

[Jacob Black]

Just like planned Jake brought Nessie home way past curfew. He knew her parents would not be happy, but really what could they do? The two knew Jake was made for Renesmee, and she for him. He just threw on a big grin as he parked his motorcycle and helped Renesmee down. Taking a quick breath Jake could tell that only one vampire happened to be down stairs, and it was not who he had been expecting. He held his arm out for Nessie to grab once more, and the two walked together. Although he wanted to think about the evening he knew it was best not to, so he cleared his mind. No need to anger the overprotective parents anymore than he already had.

The two walked through the door and he immediately saw the pixie-like vampire waiting for them. He smiled a big wolfy grin at her, she was one of his favorites of the family. Alice made top ten, but her mate still creped him out a little. "Heya Alice!" He had removed Nessie's arm from his and instead wrapped his arms around her shoulders. Somehow touching her made him feel more at ease in any situation, so the more of her he held, the better. "So... what did we miss?"

[◇Renesmee Cullen◇]

"Jacob we are so dead!" Renesmee said in a hushed whisper as she was helped from Jacob's motocycle. She grabbed hold of his hand and held it close, pretty much hugging his arm as they walked to the door. a Second later and inside her beautiful home they were. "Auntie Alice!" Renesmee squeaked, with a small giggle, and Jacob pulled his hand from her grasp, and place it around her shoulder for a moment. It was only a moment for, Renesmee, though she loved her Jacob, wanted to say hello to her Aunt. And with that she slipped from Jacob's arm, and in the very same second showed herself hugging her Aunt. Placing a loving kiss on her cheek, before she went back to her Jacob, replacing his arm where it was, where it belonged. He asked what they missed and Renesmee shook her head a little. "Sorry we're so late." Renesmee said looking up at Jacob with nothing but love in her eyes. "Jacob is not a rule follower." Renesmee added, as she leaned on his body a little more, soaking up his body heat, not that she needed it, she was naturally a higher temp then her parents, more like his temperature. So she liked being hot. Then again, she sometimes just needed to be cold, sometimes only the cold would do it for her. Renesmee stood there, like jello in Jacob's arm's all she looked at was him, and though she was listing you could tell that part of her mind was off in Jacob land, well that's what her father called it. Basically part of her mind was always on Jacob, she had her own world of Jacob.

[Alice Cullen]

Alice had expected the pair to be late by at least an hour, and as she reached the first floor Jacob's nose-wrenching scent came from afar along with Nessie's special scent. Alice waited at the foot of the stairs until they came in. Alice did try not to make her digust obvious, but she couldn't help herself right now. Her nose wrinkled lightly as the two walked up to her. It straitened out as she held her breath a little, it was absurd! Jacob was here at almost all times of the day, guess that didn't stop instincts.

"Hi Renesmee," She hugged her neice as she escaped her boyfriend's arm. Alice returned a kiss on her cheek and grinned when she pulled away. "You're lucky your parents aren't here right now. Edward wouldn't be happy; not that that would bother you," Alice looked at Jacob. "But if he knew any better, he'd expect you to be late." Like she did. Alice didn't need to see it coming to know the couple would be late. After Renesmee commented once more, Alice smirked. "Of course not." Mutt. Edward would most definately have a talk with him in the future.

"You two didn't miss much." Alice shrugged and went off, sort of in a dance, to the living room where she sat down in an armchair. She looked back at them. "So what did you two do today?" She asked.

[Jacob Black]

With Alice's comment all Jacob could do was shrug, he honestly did not much care that Edward would be unhappy with him. He was finally able to date Renesmee, he was not about to let some old vampire keep him from such things. He smiled when Nessie placed herself back under his arm, he loved the feel of having her in his there. Now that he knew papa vampire was not around, he did not feel the need to watch his thoughts as closely as he probably should have. Another thing to be grateful for was that Alice could not see either of them, so she had no idea what they had done that night.

Nessie made her comment and Jacob gave another wolfy grin, she hit the nail on the head. He loved how Renesmee just knew him on the inside, no all that was left... He quickly shook his head, just in CASE Edward was still somewhat close. Then Alice asked her question and Jacob could no longer control his emotions he had just been thinking about how Alice did not know what they could have been doing then she goes and asks, he let out a chuckle. "Wouldn't you like to know?" Although he liked her, it was none of her business what they had done, and he gave Nessie a light squeeze to let her know not to tell anyone at least not for a while. Hopefully by the time papa dearest came home the both of them could hide their thoughts about the night. He really did not feel like fighting with the overprotective bunch tonight, but he would if need be.

[◇Renesmee Cullen◇]

Renesmee just shook her head looking up at her love, the same look in her eyes. Just love, trust, just the perfect match. You could tell Renesmee was getting a little lost in her own little Jacob world once again, she did that a lot lately. But that's where she liked to be. She liked to be with Jacob, and when he was not here, she thought about him, even when her father was around, she tired to desensitize her father to her love. The more she thought about Jacob, and how much in love she was, the less her father hated him, or so she hoped. But Alice asked a question, and Renesmee looked to her for just a second, before taking in a sharp breath. "Jacob!" Renesmee said, smacking his stomach lightly. "Be nice!" Renesmee said, as he gave her a squeeze, but Renesmee just could not hide what they did. Anyway, she wanted to tell someone, not all the details or anything, but give Alice a little taste. "We had dinner and a movie." Renesmee said proud of herself, for speaking up. She usually just went along with Jacob, for he made her feel bad. Being such a good little girl, she needed a little bad in her life. So she went with Jacob on most things. But not today. It's not like she'd give out all the dirty details, but a little something, anyway it was Alice. She liked to be in the know, and Renesmee liked to show her Aunt what she's been up to. Simple as that. Jacob could not get too made at her for giving up something so vague.

[Alice Cullen]

Alice frowned at Jacob; he knew all too well she wanted to know. They were the only ones she couldn't see in the family! And having Nessie around made it a little challenging to see her warm, butterscotch eyes rested upon her neice next. Rensemee had to tell her sometime! She practically always told her about her dates with Jacob. Alice felt more like her BFF than her aunt at times. When Ness hit Jake a bit, Alice couldn't help but smile. She pulled her legs up next to her on the armchair she was on and rested against the armrest.

"Dinner and a movie?" She repeated. "How adorable!" Alice sounded enthusiastic. Though, it was cute, it was so cliché. It was a 'little' less then what would be considered a 'date' around there -- for a Cullen -- but Jacob didn't have the means to provide those kinds of dates. He wasn't rich from centuries of employment like they were. The pixie-like girl frowned again. "You're going to tell me more about that later, right?" She in a was demanded. Alice hated not knowing things!

[Jacob Black]

Another chuckle escaped Jake's lips as Nessie hit him. He even cracked a smile when he saw Alice's expression. Their was numerous reasons why he liked this particular vampire, and one was because she did have a sense of humor. He was glad that Nessie description was small, but his face turned down at what he saw in Alice's expression, just before she commented. He knew the family was rich, he just wasn't. Then Alice pulled him out of his thoughts with her desire to know more, and maybe she would see that he had tried, that he had had some semblance of money, should he care so much what a vampire thought? He did. She was Nessie's family. He wanted to be able to give Nessie the world, or at least whatever was possible, an d realistic. He would have to find other ways to achieve such things, and he had already thought this out.

There was one thing him and the blond had in common, and that was they were both skilled with mechanics. So he would make his money through that. All of it would go to Renesmee, although he knew she would never need it. He sighed, but let the mood pass. "So where are all the rest of the leeches" He used the name in a playful manner, he repected the Cullens, liked them. This was just his banter for when the term "mutt" was used.

[◇Renesmee Cullen◇]

"Oh, of course I will Alice!" Renesmee said with a wink to her favorite Aunt, well one of her two favorite aunts, but that's besides the point. She giggled a little but when she looked up at Jacob she was a little confused by his expression. she looked to Alice for a moment, to see if she just missed something, but she saw nothing. So why the face? Why was Jacob so...so sad? Renesmee, leaned into her Jacob a little more. Her head resting on his chest for just a moment, before she shifted a little. She let her lips touch his cheek for a moment, hoping to see that wonderful smile once again. She also placed her finger tips on his cheek lightly to show him she loved him. Not like the pitty love or anything, but real true love, was all Jacob could see for a few moments, before Renesmee removed her hand from his cheek, smiling up at him. She paid no attention to his leech comment. It was just something he did as Jacob. He was 'dog' and the Cullen's were leeches. That's just how it was, all in good fun. Anyway, Jacob was not defensive now, so it was not intended as an insult, or it better not be. Renesmee would have a long talk with him if it was aimed at Alice as hurtful. That just could not do. She loved them both, and everyone knew that Renesmee just could not pick between her family and Jacob. It was just no possible. Yes she loved her Jacob, but she could just not leave her parents, or her family. So they had to learn to get along for Nessie.

[Alice Cullen]

Alice smiled at her neice. "Great!" Nessie always told her, sometimes showed her, about her dates with Jacob. This was sort of her way of making sure her neice was in good hands and that the Mutt was good to her. Jacob asked about the others and her smile faded instantly. "I would tell you if I could see them." Jacob was the issue in her visions right now. Rensemee wasn't that bad anymore, Alice was getting better at it, though her visions would probably always be blurry. "Anyways," Her tone was lighter. "They hsouldn't be too long."

[Jacob Black]

The bitterness at not being able to see was still in Alice's voice, what happened to those days when the two had almost formed an alliance. He was her medicine from headaches, and they laughed at the dumb blonde together. Right, that flew out the window when he imprinted on her niece. Oh well. "Well, sorry about THAT part Alice, but you know me, I'm not going anywhere." He gave Alice a fun grin and quickly sidestepped until he was next to the vampire. He scrunched up his nose and reached around to give her a quick hug before retreating back to the other side of the room. Hey she was pretty much family. And she was a favorite. Right behind Bella.

[Alice Cullen]

Alice got up off the arm chair to head back to the two. "I know you aren't going anywhere. And I have to live with that because I love my neice," She flashed a smile at Renesmee. Her neice held a special place in everyone's heart.

Alice looked at Jacob as he approached her. It felt really odd, him hugging her. But she tried to be nice, hugging him back a bit, but holding her breath. The smell, though it was getting more and more familiar, was like acid in her nose. When he pulled away, and not a second too soon, Alice allowed herself to breath again -- her noise wrinkled lightly. "But you know if you mess up, you're going to the pound." She told him in a have joke, half serious way. Yes, he had imprinted on Nessie, but still. He was a wolf! They were wild things... if he ever got angry...

[◇Renesmee Cullen◇]

Renesmee was pretty much quiet. She did not need to speak. She'd let her Auntie Alice have a few words in. Hey as long as Jacob was good, she knew her Auntie would be just fine. And so fair Jacob was doing fine, being... nice even. Though the hug was a little unnecessary, it still meant a lot to Renesmee. It showed they were trying and that's all she really wanted right! "Oh Auntie Alice!" Renesmee breathed through a giggle. She knew her Aunt Alice was kidding, but still. "Be nice!" She added in the same breath as she looked to Jacob for his reaction. It better be a good one too, or Jacob would have to answer to Renesmee, and that was never a good thing. If you really want to get to Jacob, just have Renesmee talk to him, and all would be done. A single word for Renesmee and Jacob would do everything short of killing someone, and even then. Then again it did work the other way around as well. Of course Renesmee would do anything for her Jacob. He was her's after all, always had been always will be. "Auntie Alice." She asked turning away from Jacob and almost skipping over to her Aunt. "Wheres daddy? He said he'd be here when I got back." Renesmee said with a smile. Her father was such a busy man, all the Cullen's were. So Renesmee was not worried. She knew her father was doing something important. Anyway Renesmee just wanted to give him a hug, but of course that could wait. It was going to have to anyway.

[Jacob Black]

A laugh escaped Jacob's lips, for he expected no less of Renesmee's family. They all helped raise her, she was not just Bella and Edward's she was the whole Cullen clan's little girl. Each one of them loving her with every part of their being. He smiled at the knowledge and turned his attention back to Renesmee. His concern was the same. Where was the daddy leech, Jacob so wanted to pester him. The two had become close, even friends over the past years. Helping one another helped build a strong relationship, plus he was his to-be-father-in-law-one-day. Not anytime soon, but one day.

"Yes, and Bella to? I miss my old friend sometimes." Though that was a silly question, for everyone knew that where ever one of the parents was the other was sure to be. Jacob then grinned at Alice, and hoped she wouldn't make a comment that could lead to a horrible conversation with Nessie at a later time. He truly did just look at Bella with nothing more than care, and concern these days. No intimate love, just friendly love. The rest was reserved for her baby girl. His Renesmee.
