We got to Jacob's house and told Billy the news. He congradulated us and promised to help us with the guest list and anything else we needed, which I was very grateful for. We began with my friends, friends that I met from school, though I wasn't in school at the time because I was being "home-schooled", but I still saw them alot. I called all my best friends, Jennifer, Miranda, Nicole, Karen, Rachel, Ashley, Madeline, and Laura. Most of them were out of town, but the rest were still in town so I went over to there house and gave them their invitations. They were all really excited, and I was surprised no one ever asked me why I was getting married so early. I was mentally and physically sixteen but Miranda, Nicole and Jennifer, the only ones who knew I was half vampire, said I could pass as a senior, which is why mom and dad enrolled me as a junior last year.
After we called my friends, we called Jacob's cousins on Billy's side of the family. I talked to most of them on the phone, since they had never met me before, and they were all really nice. Most of them were going to be here in a few days, while others weren't coming for a few more weeks. We also called the wolves and told them the news, and they also agreed to help us with wedding plans. Everything just seemed so perfect at the moment. I wanted to cry because I was just so happy.

Three days had past since the announcement of the wedding, and some of Jacob's cousins were flying in today so I could finally meet them. I was really excited, but also nervous. What if they don't like me? I mean, most of them are werewolves like Jacob. What if they don't like the fact that I'm half-vampire? What if they disapprove of me? I was sitting on Jacob's couch, sitting next to him and holding his hand, while my nerves were overwhelming me.
"Nessie? Honey, are you okay? You know, there's no need to be nervous. They're going to love you."
"How do you know?"
"I just do."
"But, what if they don't? I mean, what if they don't approve of me because I'm... half-vampire?"
"It's going to be okay. There's no need to worry, I already told them and they said as long as we're happy together, than that's all that matters. I love you and I know they'll love you too," he said lifting my chin with one finger and looking me in the eyes. "Okay?"
"Okay."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
Before he even got the chance to kiss me, the door bell rang, making me jump. He got up from the couch, pulling me up with him, and walked to the door. He opened it, greeting four, tall, handsome men at the door. They all had long dark hair like Jacob, one seeming to be older than the others. They each had different color eyes. The oldest of them had dark brown eyes, one with dark green, one with blue, and one with light green. I was greeted to the older one with brown eyes. He had such masculine features about his face and was a bit taller than Jacob, maybe by an inch or two.
"Hello," he said, taking my hand to shake it."I'm Jessie. These are my brother's Matt and Ryan," he pointed to the two with dark and light green eyes, who actually looked like they might be fraternal twins, "and our best friend Hunter."
"It's nice to meet you, all of you."
"We're just glad Jacob's finally foound a girl," the dark eyed boy, Ryan, said.
"Oh come on Ryan!" Matt laughed."Like act like you've got a girl when you really don't."
"Whatever, Matt!"
"Hey!" Jessie cut in, "That's enough! Why do you two have to be the most annoying, little brothers?"
"It's just what we do," they said simotaniously. I couldn't help but stiffle a giggle at their big-brother-little-brother bickering. They all turned in my direction.
"Well," Hunter said, "you guys sure can entertain a girl, that's for sure."
"Well, again, I'm really glad I got to meet you all."
"And we're really glad we got to meet you Renesmee," Jessie said. And at that moment, I knew I was going to be fine and that I would soon have a wonderful, loving family.

I was in the main room of the house sitting at the piano, playing Claire de Lune by Debussy, a personal favorite of my mom and dad. Leah was supposed to come over later to finish invitations, that haven't been sent out yet, with me. Leah and I weren't exactly best friends but we were very close, and I was grateful for that. When my song finally ended, I heard Leah's car door out front. She came through the front door with a box full invitations.
"Woah. How many invitations do we have left to do?"
"By my count, 307."
"Are you serious?"
"Unfortunately, yes. But, the sooner we start, the sooner we get it done, right? Let's get to work."
We worked for hours and hours on the invitationsat the kitchen table. It was actually fun because we were exchanging funny memories we had together and were lauging about them the whole time. I really liked Leah. She was a great friend to me, though I still wasn't sure if she approved of me fully yet. By the time we were down to the last two invitations, Jacob walked through the door, along with his cousins, Matt and Ryan.
"Hey, Nessie," he greeted me, giving me a kiss.
"Ugh. You guys! Could you not do that in front of me? Just wait until I leave so I can be spared! Don't do that!"
"I don't have to listen to you Leah." He gave mme another kiss.
"Ugh! Stop it! Jacob, you're the worst! You obviously don't value my sanity!"
"Obviously. And I can do whatever I want, I'm the Alpha, remember?"
"Yeah... and you're also the most annoying, and no one's stopping you there, huh? Anyway, I've got to go. I can't be late for dinner again or my mom's going to flip out on me," she said getting up. "I'll see you tomorrow, Nessie." I watched her as she was leaving the room. But before she could even get through the door, it swung open as Jessie came through it. I thought Leah would make some sort of comment when he burst in, but, instead, all they did was lock gazes for a long moment. It was silent in the room until Jessie broke it.
"Hi."
"H-hi."
"I'm Jessie."
"Leah." They didn't shake hands or anything, they just continued staring. Nothing happened until Jacob cleared his throat. Leah finally shook her head, probably clearing her thoughts, and broke the connection of the stare. "Um... right. So, I'll see you tomorrow, Nessie, Jacob,... Jessie." and then she was gone.
I couldn't help but think as everyone, besides me and Jacob, cleared the room, Was... was that what I think it was? No! It couldn't be! Could it? I don't know. Maybe it's none of my buisness. But maybe it is. I mean, she is my friend. I guess I could talk to her tomorrow. Then, my thoughts were suddenly ended when Jacob picked me up, put me on the table and crushed his lips onto mine
