A Twilight fanfiction novel - SheeWolf85

felt that he would make other arrangements for his dad just to be with her. After a moment, he
decided to just put it out there and see how she took it.
“I’m staying the night.”
She looked up at him, surprised. “What?”
He leaned down with his elbows on the table. “I’m worried about you, Ness. I know it’s just the flu,
but you don’t know how bad it hurts me to see you in pain like this. I want to do whatever I can and
stay with you as long as you need me.”
She reached out and took his hand. “Jake, that’s so sweet. I’m not so sure my aunt and uncle will
be okay with it, though.”
“I’ve already talked to them.” He shrugged. “They’re okay with it.”
“Are you serious?” She wondered briefly if this guy had some kind of hypnotic powers she wasn’t
aware of. She hadn’t thought Alice or Jasper would approve something like that.
Jacob nodded. “Yes. While you were asleep. There are conditions, of course. You’ll be checked on
regularly throughout the night by one or both of them, and we’re staying on the couch rather than in
your room.”
“How in the world did you talk them into that? I mean, sure, neither one of them are as strict as my
dad, but I haven’t even known you a whole month yet.”
“I called them out on their assumption that I wanted to take advantage of you. I’m just here to help
you, Ness. I would never hurt you or touch you in any way that you didn’t consent to.”
She squeezed his fingers lightly. “I know, Jake.”
Her trust in him felt so good. “I love you.”
She looked around to make sure neither Alice nor Jasper was around to hear it. “I love you, too,” she
whispered.
Jacob smirked. “They know. You don’t have to hide it.”
“They know? When did that happen?”
“When I told them to stop looking at me like I was a creep. I told them.” He picked up her hand and
kissed her knuckles. “Don’t be mad at me.”
Renesmee smiled. “I’m not mad. Just surprised, I guess. Mostly that they didn’t freak out and ask
you to leave.”
“Baby, I can be quite persuasive.” He winked.
She tried to laugh, but it ended in coughing. “I know.”
