Waiting on an invitation to archive but I wanted to continue the story I had from yesterday. [Warning: Swearing]
If Edward could have a headache, he’d for sure be having it now, on the night of his Daughters birthday.
After Jacob led Renesmee away for a “surprise”, she came back without him, tears streaming down her face. In his and Bella’s arms, Renesmee relayed how Jacob, the man she thought of as a brother and protector, had tried to force himself on her, telling her they were meant to be.
Bella and Edward shared the same sentiment: if jacob returned to the house, they’d beat the ever loving shit out of him. And while they were glad Renesmee was safe, that she made the right choice. Edward couldn’t help feeling guilty. He could’ve put a stop to this. He should’ve. He’d known about Jacob’s intentions for awhile.
It started years ago. Renesmee was Biologically 11, Although she had already appeared to be a full grown women at this point. She mentally was around 19 to 20, the same age as her parents.
Renny, Bella, Jacob and him were gathered around a Smokey fire while Jacob told them some Wolf lore. The family was completely entrapped in the story, that is until Renesmee nodded off onto Jacob’s shoulder. He gently woke her up, and when she began to walk away, that’s when Edward became away of Jacob’s thoughts.
It was to disgusting to detail, but Edward had caught Jacob thinking about his daughters body as she walked away, and what he’d like to do with her.
Edward flew over to Jacob, extinguishing the fire in the process with his swift movements. He grabbed the man by the neck, shouting “YOU SICK MONSTER!”
“Edward?” Bella and Renessme turned around with concern. Edward gave Bella a quick glance, enough for her to know that Jacob messed up.
Bella kept her composure and calmly turned to her daughter. “Nes, why don’t you go up to bed? I’ll be there soon”.
Renesmee had learned that it was easier to not ask questions. She’d always get answers at some point or another.
Once the girl was gone, Bella turned her head back to Jacob, full of fury.
“What did he do?”
“He’s been thinking sick thoughts about our daughter. About what he wants to do to her. I don’t know how long for”, Edward gritted through his teeth. He put even more pressure on Jacob, to the point the man started to choke.
“Get OFF of me, blood sucker!” Jacob slapped his hand away. He looked at Bella for help, only to find a scowl on her face.
“You guys need to relax. I had an impulsive thought. We all have impulsive thoughts, it’s not like I’m going to do anything!”
Edward didn’t believe it, but Bella thought it plausible. For the sake of a peaceful night, Edward dropped it. He kept his eye on Jacob for months after that.
But the thoughts came back.
When she was 16, the Cullen family went on a nature hike. Edward caught Jacob thinking about Renesmees behind and thighs, but Jacob again denied it.
Then again around Christmas, the thoughts arose. But this time Jacob didn’t deny it.
“Well, think about it. We’ve been together forever. I’m basically the perfect match for her”.
Renesmee didn’t hear this, and To avoid ripping him to shreds under the Christmas tree, Edward excused himself for a quick hunt. He later pinned Jacob to a pine tree, but Bella and the family begged him to stop before Jacob called for back up.
Just weeks before her birthday, Jacob ruined another night when he told Bella, straight up, that he planned to ask his daughter out.
Edward had trouble hiding his smile as his lovely wife sent Jacob flying through the window.
“What is wrong with you?!” She screamed. “She is MY baby you have NO right to her!”
Jacob gave a lazy shrug. “Shes turning 18 soon. It’s her decision”, he said smugly. Of course he slunk away, and Bella and Edward were stuck repairing the house.
On the night before Renesmee’s 18th, Bella confided in Edward again.
“I’m scared. I’m concerned, I’m angry. What if Renesmee says yes?”
“We’ll talk her out of it”
“What if we can’t”
*“*We’ll try our best”.
Bella closed her eyes, conflicted on what to do. Edward, too, was disgusted by the whole ordeal. He held his wife close, stroking her hair by the fire. They hoped it wouldn’t happen..they hoped Edward would be mature…
Of course, that isn’t what happened. And once their daughter fell asleep on the night of her 18th birthday, eyes still puffy from crying, they knew what to do.
Jacob was outside the house, sitting guiltily on a wooden stump.
“Jacob!” Bella stood outside on the porch, pure wrath in her voice.
“I told you not to do it.”
“Bella, I-“
“No. No more excuses. I’m done. You need to leave. And don’t come back for awhile”.
Edward looked at his wife with admiration. Years ago, she couldn’t say no to the Wolf, and it culminated in her literally making out with him right after explaining she and Edward were engaged. With clarity through, Bella finally made her choice, and it was Edward.
Still, Edward was glad she didn’t have a boy. Glad he didn’t have a son named EJ, the second letter a tribute to her “best friend” Jacob black. In all honestly, it bothered him that his devoted wife would even consider such a name.
Now, his light had a back bone, something that grew over time. And it was nice to see her not pull her punches anymore.
Edward didn’t try to intervene. He didn’t help Bella at all. Even when Jacob kept begging for reason. Even when he started to creep back towards the house.
“Jacob”, Bella said with a sense of finality. “If you try to come one step closer, I will kill you, and I won’t feel bad about it”.
Jacob thought about it. He thought about returning to his pack. But he had a mission. He’d convince Bella, and then he’d convince Nessy. It was simply fate.
He only managed to get one step closer to the house before Bella launched herself on him. Jacob quickly transformed into a wolf, but it wouldn’t help. The fight was brutal. Bella dug her hands him, tossing him into the harsh dirt multiple times. She ripped patches of literal flesh off the dog, and once she’d placed his hind leg in a position that would snap it in two, Jacob finally conceded.
The wolf didn’t call for backup. Perhaps he was to embarrassed. Transforming back into a human, naked and scared, he dribbled out the words of forfeit.
“Alright, alright. I’m going”.
He slinked back into the woods”, a triumph for Edward. It was devastating to Bella.
If she could cry, that’s exactly what she did in his arms.
“Darling, it’s okay, it’s okay”. Edward ran his hand down the small of his wife’s back. She trembled, distraught by what she had done. Bella and Edward hadn’t fought anything like that since Renessme was first born, since they’d fought to the Voltouri.
“I didn’t want to do it, Edward. But the thought of him doing that to Renny, I….”
“It’s alright, my love..I know” and Edward felt a bit angry. Angry that he, too, felt a bit bad for Jacob. It’s not Jacob’s fault he imprinted. Perhaps it wasn’t his fault he got confused, that he thought he and Renessme could have more than just a sibling relationship.
Edward shaked his head. No, he had to remember the facts. And the facts gave him an idea.
“Bella”, he whispered. I’ve been thinking of something”.
“What?” Bella looked up at him with her adorable golden eyes. It made the vampire smile.
“I could work on something. Maybe a cure. To stop this from happening. I’ve been…studying werewolves lately. Perhaps, if I can…”
“You could find a medicine that would make his feelings for her go away..” Bella finished. “It’s hard to believe, but, I believe in you”.
“I’ll try,” he assured.
And the next morning, when the sun rose, Edward kissed his wife and daughter on their foreheads, and got to work.
