A Twilight fanfiction novel - SheeWolf85

She shook her head. “I don’t know . . .” She wasn’t sure how to say what she felt. She’d made a
deal with Jacob, but now she wasn’t sure she could keep her end. Her thoughts went to September
when her parents would return to find their daughter wasn’t their daughter anymore.
Jacob sighed and sat on the edge of the bed, then he pulled her down gently so she sat beside him.
“Ness, we’ve been through this. You’re their daughter; you’re still Ness. You decided you wanted to
wait until they come back to tell them, so we’ll deal with it when it comes up. Remember our deal,
and trust me, okay?” He kissed her temple.
She took a deep breath and nodded. “Okay. I can do that.”
“In the meantime, look at that message and see what she has to say.” He gestured to the phone.
Renesmee nodded again, but it took a few seconds for her to work up the courage to open the text.
Just checking on you. Haven’t heard from you for a little while. Call me when you get a minute. Love
you. BTW, your father and I are still having a blast! Love you.
Her eyes watered. She looked up at Jacob. “What should I do?”
“Call her. If you don’t, she’s going to get worried and call Alice and Jasper, then you’ll end up feeling
bad about putting them in that situation. Call and tell her everything’s okay.” He held her a little
tighter. “I’ll sit right here with you if you want.”
She nodded and kissed him. “I do want.” She sniffled and found her mother’s number. She took
another deep breath and hit the call button. More tears stung her eyes as the line rang. She tried to
bury her face in Jacob’s chest, and he stroked her hair.
“Hi, baby!” Bella answered excitedly.
Renesmee’s throat tightened so hard she wasn’t able to answer for a moment. Jacob kissed her
head and whispered into her ear. “Talk to her, Ness.”
She nodded and pulled back. She cleared her throat. “Hi, Mom,” she finally managed.
“What’s the matter?” Bella asked, already concerned.
Renesmee heard Edward in the background asking what was going on. She closed her eyes tightly.
“I just miss you, Mom. And Dad. I’m okay.”
Bella let out a relieved sigh and told Edward everything was okay. “I miss you, too, Renesmee. Just
think! Only a little over a month left. I’ll be sad to leave, but I’m so anxious to see you again.”
“Me, too. How’s Dad?”
“He’s been worried about you. I’ve managed to thwart three different plans to leave early.” Bella
laughed when Edward grumbled. “We’re both doing well, though, and having a ton of fun.”
Renesmee nodded. “That’s good to hear.”
