and the furniture where all white. The ceiling had sparkles painted on it and where my dresser was, lights were hung around. It looked more mature and grown. I smiled, "Thank you Esme, I love it." Bella came over to me, "those hanging lights are like the ones I had in my room." I looked over to my bed, there was a hanging décor against my headboard. I walked over to it, "What is this?" Bella answered, "It's a dream catcher, a friend gave it to me when I was having difficult times and I'm sharing it with you." I stared at the piece, my eyes filled with water, it was Jacob's. Alice came over to me, "Jump in the shower Ness, we have lots to do!" I took my time, washing all the tears away. I came out in a robe, looking over to the closet which was changed as well. The majority of clothes were all brand new. I sat on the chair and Rosalie immediately started to work on my hair, it felt so relaxing. Alice showed me all the new outfits and what should be paired together. Bella sat on the bed, trying to look entertained. There was a buzzing noise going off in the room. Bella reached over for my phone on the dresser. Esme looked over, "That phone been buzzing since I got here this morning." Bella looked at the name and gave it a funny look, it was not Jake, my heart sunk. "Ness, it's Elijah?" O jeeze, this is what I was avoiding. I haven't thought of him since the whole Jacob incident. "Who's that," Rosalie snapped at Bella. Alice looked around waiting for an answer. I whispered, reaching out for my phone, "a friend." Bella still eyeing me passed me the phone. I looked through it, I had six miss calls from Elijah in the past couple of days. "A friend?" Rosalie laughed, "a friend that called six times Renesmee!" She pinched my cheeks, they immediately turned red. "Renesmee you've been holding back on us! That's weird, I didn't see this…must be you Renesmee making it difficult for me to see! Tell us more?" Alice came closer to me, waiting for the gossip. I looked around; it was all of them there. I looked over to Esme, she gave an assuring nod to continue. "He's a friend I met…He's very nice…and cute." They all laughed. "I hung out with him before, he's a gentleman." I smiled thinking about the days we did hang out, it was carefree. "Great! I have a perfect idea! Let's call him up and you can have date night tonight. After all, it is what you need." Leave it to Alice to think of that plan. Rosalie and Esme were encouraging the idea, Bella in the other hand not so much. "I don't know," I looked away from them, "I haven't talked to him in a while." "He has obviously missed you," Rosalie commented, "after all, it's better than a dog." It still hurt when she commented on Jake. Alice scowled Rosalie not to mention him again. They kept going back and forth of the plans on what I should do, my phone started to buzz again. I looked down, it was Elijah. All of them started saying, "answer." I was so embarrassed, all of them were here listing to my conversation. I picked up the phone, "Hello?" "Renesmee, hey it's Elijah. Sorry I called so many times, haven't heard from you in a while. Is everything ok?" All of them moved in to listen to every word. It felt awkward but I continued, "That's fine. Yes, can be better." Giving a short answer, it was no place to rant on Jacob's situation. "You sound down? Are you sure? If I can help in anyway, just give me the go." Everyone still eager and listing. "I'm ok. What are you up to?" He paused before answering, "If you're not to busy Renesmee, if I can pick you up tonight to go out? If you're up to it of course." I had a smile on my face; my aunts waving there hand to say yes. I was still not to sure about this whole idea. I still didn't want my family to meet him. "Sure." I looked up to Bella and she nodded in approval, she would deal with Edward. "Do you want me to pick you up?" I really didn't want to but I knew that that would be a requirement of Bella's, "Yes, just call me when you're outside." "Ok, be there in a hour." We both hung up, I held the phone in my hand, nervous to look at everyone. "A hour?! That's all we got? Rosalie get to the hair. Esme get the shoes. Bella brief Edward." Alice ran to the closet, throwing outfits on the bed continuing to complain of the time, "just an hour…" I laughed. It was the first time in a few days since I laughed, it felt good. Bella left the room to brief Edward, I was worried that this date would stop before it even started.

It's been 30 minutes and Edward has not been up to the room, Bella must of put her foot down. Rosalie finished up on my hair and started with light make-up, "we need to cover those puffy eyes," she smiled at me with her perfect face, "Renesmee I'm so happy for you." Alice picked out the outfit, straight leg jeans, fitted sweater, with boots that had a small heel. I slipped it on as she added the accessories. "You look great Renesmee." She finished her last minute touches and made off with 10 minutes left. They looked me over and gave the approving nod. "Wait one more thing." Rosalie came over with a fragrance, spraying me all over, "ok now." The fragrance smelled great, it was a mixture of floral scents, it was very overpowering with our family scent.

I walked downstairs to wait, Edward was by his piano. "Doesn't she look great Edward?" Alice asked as she followed me into the room. I was afraid of what he was thinking. I know he must not like the idea of another man in my life with all this mess already. "Renesmee you look beautiful," he smiled with his charming smile. I looked at him, astonished by his reaction. Bella must have done something. He laughed at my thoughts. Bella walked over to Edward holding his shoulders, smiling at me. Alice came back with her camera, snapping multiple pictures. I haven't heard the wolves lately, the last thing I need… "They're keeping a distance," Edward answering me. My phone buzzed before I could go into deep thought, it was him. "I'm outside." The nerves were everywhere, my heart started to beat faster, "I'll be out." I hung up and smiled to everyone, "Please stay inside?" Bella looked over to me, "Renesmee? We would like to meet him?" I bit the bottom of my lip, "Ok, outside please? I'm still not comfortable with him coming in the house with a house full…" I stopped right there. Bella and Edward followed me out, while everyone else peeking out the windows. The night was a bit chilly, the winds ripping through, it made me shiver. Elijah came out of his truck, good thing it was his truck. Edward shot me a look, opps. He walked closer. "Hello, I'm Elijah." Edward and Bella shook his hand. "Elijah, these are my adopted parents, Bella and Edward." He didn't look at them funny at all, "Nice to meet you two. You have a great daughter, Renesmee perfect." He smiled at me with the word perfect. I looked over to them, "ok we're leaving." Edward had a weird look on his face, Not now Edward, he didn't answer me. Bella ignored Edward, "Nice to meet you and thanks. Take care of our baby girl." She smiled waving bye to both of us. "I will." He walked over to the passenger side letting me in and then meeting me in the driver side. "Ready?" He looked over to me, "You look beautiful as always." I smiled, "Thank you, yes"

He took off driving to the highway. We pulled up to the downtown of the city. It was alive, lots of people and couples walking around, bouncing from the restaurants and attractions. I have never been to something like this, being around large crowds. I swallowed hard, I felt my throat burning with all the scents I pulled in. My eyes filled with panic, I don't think I could do this.

Edward's point of views

Bella came down from Renesmee's room, I knew she was up to something. "Yes Bella." She came over to me, sitting on my lap. "Edward, Renesmee has a friend she is going out with tonight." Before I could protest, she continued on. "You know of all people what I went through when you had…" she paused, "She needs a distraction. I know, I was not for it either but we need to help her, she is miserable Edward. Jacob is not budging to come by right now." I listened to everything. It was one of the worst things I could have ever done, leaving my Bella. I could not argue with her on this one. I would not let Renesmee even go through the slightest emotions I had put poor Bella in. As much as it tortured me, I agreed to this friend. She smiled, giving me kisses all over my cheek. I loved her more everyday.

I waited playing the piano to myself, coming up with a new song when I heard Renesmee coming in the room. She looked beautiful. She was looking like a woman everyday, I miss my little girl. Renesmee was nervous of the whole situation but I promised Bella I would not make it any worst. We walked out with her to meet this Elijah. He came out of the car, as he moved in closer, it was something, something that set me off. It was not enough to cause a scene but enough to acknowledge. A scent picked up but it was difficult to pin point a scent since Renesmee was showered into her perfume. Before I could even think, they were both in his truck driving off. Bella tugged at my arm, "Let's go Edward" "Bella, there was something about him." She let out a deep sigh, "Edward we went over this. Of course you would not just agree. You're going to try to find any little thing." I looked out to the woods, the wolves were closer then I thought. I picked up on a few scents, particularly Jacob's. I could only imagine what he is feeling if he just seen Renesmee. I know how it felt when he was friends with Bella, I wanted to rip his body apart every day. I do not know what imprinting feels like but as he once told me, if Renesmee needs a friend, Jacob shall be. I grabbed Bella's hand walking back into the house. Before I went inside, I heard Jacob, "Where is she going Edward?" I smirked, he had the audacity to ask, I whispered over, knowing he could hear me, "with a friend, she will be back, she needs this Jacob." I could only imagine what this would do to him, hopefully make him realize something. Even though I did not love the whole idea of a wolf in love with my daughter, he did save our families life, something that can never be ignored. I know Jacob would do everything in his power to satisfy and protect Nessie, even as a friend and I could not ask for any better.

Jacob's point of view

The pack and I still patrolled around the Cullen's house. It was usually Seth and me. I let the pack go back to La Push
