Jacob

I howled, calling to Nessie as I ran through the woods to the cottage as I did every morning that I didn't have to work, and every evening that I did. Sometimes we hung out with her parents. She would play on the piano for me in the music room, classics or songs she wrote herself. We were keeping it simple tonight just hanging out on the beach near my place. I skidded to a halt as the porch came into view. Edward was standing there, motionless as a statue.
Edward? I said to him through my thoughts.
"Good morning Jacob. Would you mind phasing and coming inside? We'd like to speak with you for a moment." He sounded so business like, no nonsense.
Nessie had never not come running out to meet me...was everything all right?
"Renesmee is safe and well," he interrupted my thought before it had the change to grow into the panic where he must have known it was headed. I huffed in relief. "She is with Alice at my parents house so that we can have some privacy. Speaking of, I'll leave you to phase now."
I nodded and he turned and crossed the porch heading back into the cottage. I ducked into the woods and let my body change back into human form. Edward was master of the poker face, I didn't know what this could be about. It must have been something about Nessie though, otherwise they wouldn't have stashed her at the big house out of ear shot. If he was angry with me, my arms would no longer be attached to my body, I thought as I pulled on my grey sweatpants. Let's get this over with, I thought as I walked across the porch.
I walked through the doorway cautiously, still feeling a little wary. Bella and Edward were standing in their front room, their arms around each other waists. Matching poker faces.
"Hey Bells."
"Morning Jake," she answered. I looked back and forth between the two of them expectantly, waiting for one to start.
"Well Jacob," Edward began. "I won't beat around the bush because I wouldn't want you to sweat yourself into dehydration." I hadn't noticed I was sweating bullets until he mentioned it. Bella elbowed him in the ribs to stop his chuckling. He cleared his throat and continued.
"It seems that the time has come where Renesmee caught up to you in emotional and intellectual development. Bella and I both agree that she has reached a suitable level of maturity where we feel it would be acceptable for you to express your feelings to her, in an appropriate manner of course. "
I managed to nod through my shock and joy.
"Her curfew will remain unchanged however." Edward informed me sternly.
"Yes sir," I said, only half kidding. Bella fought back a laugh which Edward ignored, continuing.
"We trust that you will always treat her with the utmost respect," I nodded fervently in response.
"Of course the two of you are free to go where ever you choose, but I've taken the liberty of making reservations at Pietro's steak house under your name for this evening."
Nessie had recently found a human food she really did enjoy, rare steak.
"It sounded like something the two of you would enjoy." He smiled at me now, his face softening.
"Well I...I guess I should go ask her if she'd like to...go there with me." They both smiled at me in a bittersweet kind of way, as I turned to walk out the door feeling a little dazed.
A little privacy to sort myself out? I asked Edward through my thoughts as I crossed through the yard. Hopefully he had better things to do then listen to me. As for what I would do, I wasn't even sure. Nessie knew about imprinting, but I never told her that I had imprinted on her. Somehow I thought telling her that I knew we were meant for each other from the day she was born would be a little much. As true as it was, I didn't want to scare her.
My head was swimming as I walked slowly through the woods to the big house, something I never did but I needed the time to think. What would I even say? I knew I shouldn't say too much soon soon. My brothers had all said "the L word" before they said "the I word" to their imprints. So that's what I would do too I decided. I knew she had feelings for me too, I could tell. It was becoming impossible to ignore the spark between us. Now we didn't have to anymore. Even though I was in human form I howled to announce myself. Force of habit I guess. Ness flung the front door open to meet me on the porch. She threw herself into my arms and we held each other. Eventually, she looked up at me smiling.
"Hey," she said softly.
"Morning, sunshine" I said brushing a strand of hair out of her eyes. She took my hand leading me through the doorway. We made our way across the huge living room towards the kitchen, our usual destination.
"Want me to heat you up some chicken?
"Nah I'm good." I wasn't hungry, that was a first. My stomach was in knots.
"Oh, all right then," she shrugged, unfazed and lead me to the couch, where she sat folding her legs under herself and I followed. She looked so cute in her PJ pants and her sleeveless shirt, I had gotten the pants for her. Comfy cotton with a print of a dinosaur that looked sorta like the lock ness monster. Edward had thought it was funny, he saw them in my head and was laughing before I even took them out of the bag. Bella gawked at them, shook her head, and glared at Edward before leaving the room. "They still fit, but they look kinda like flood pants now," she said noticing me looking at her pants.
"I'm glad you can still wear them," I said returning her smile.
"So do you know why Aunt Alice made everybody leave?" she asked raising her eyebrow in a very Edwardish way.
"Really?" I asked with genuine surprise. Because it took me a second to realize of course Alice would know what was going on this morning, she had given us some privacy.
Years ago, Alice had not been able to see our futures at all. She said then it was because she had never known any shape shifters, or half vampires. But over the years, she found she could "see us" after all. It just took some time.
Ness leaned over and stretched her arm out to touch my face and replay the scene for me. I saw little Alice flittering around the room ordering her family out. "I've got shopping to do!" Which wasn't unusual for her at all. "Come with me or don't, but out out out!"
As she showed me her family grabbing purses and keys as they were pushed out the door I considered delaying, saying I have no idea why she sent them away, but then scolded myself. Oh grow a set, you've already waited seven years. I abruptly took her little hand from my face and held it in both of mine. The vision faded away, surprise interrupting it.
"What?" she asked.
"I..I have to ask you something," I blurted out.
"Go ahead," she said hesitantly.
"No actually, I want to tell you something first, and then I'll ask you something else. Well I guess I'm kinda asking you two things." Was I even making sense? She was looking at me expectantly.
"Well you know that...you are much more to me then just Bella's daughter, right?"
Her answer was a smile of understanding that took the place of her slight confusion at my babbling.
"Spit it out Jake," she said softly.
"Would you let me take you out to dinner tonight?"
"To the diner?" she asked warily, wondering what all the build up was for if we were going to one of our usual haunts.
"No no, somewhere special, as special as you." I took one of my hands away from hers to bring it up to her face. She leaned into it as I rubbed my thumb on her cheek. It wasn't like we never touched. She rode on my back when I was in wolf form, we hugged every day, layed on the couch and watched movies. But it was very clear to both of us that this was different. That everything was different now. She closed her eyes and whispered, "Okay."
"I'll pick you up tonight?" She opened her eyes to look at me.
"Or you could just not leave," she suggested.
I smiled at her, "Best idea ever."
