"Hey, Nessie. You okay?" I said from my truck, picking her up from school.
"Oh, hey, Jacob. Yeah, I'm fine. How are you?" she said, wearily.
"Fine. But I'll be much better when you get in." I told her with a smile. She didn't get in. She just stood there. "Nessie? Are you waiting for someone?"
Edward suddenly appeared at my truck. "Hey, bloodsucker. I was just picking up your daughter. I promise you, we're going to have _tons_ of children. And _all_ after we're married."
"I'm sorry, Jacob. We have to take Bella home today." he said, not really sounding all that sorry.
"Come on! You're seriously going to 'forbid me to see her'? That's totally lame! You know, you were a lot cooler before she was born."
Edward raised his eyebrow, implying that--
"No, Edward! I wouldn't trade you being nice in a _second_ if it meant Nessie--Renesmee--weren't born! I love her..." I said.
"I know. It's just that, well, there's a boy at school. Alec. Leah imprinted on him. You know, the Volturi that got transferred here with his sister Jane?"
"Oh, yeah. He's obsessed with Nessie. She always tells me to take her the hell out of here before Alec comes and finds her. It's super creepy."
"Yes, well, I think it may be because he's in love with her."
I got out of my car. _"What?!_ He's _in love_ with her?"
"Jacob, I feel sympathy for you. I remember despising you when you still loved Bella the way you did and when I knew she loved you back. This is hard for you. I get it."
Then it hit me. Hard.
Alec was in love with Nessie.
Nessie was falling for Alec.
"Oh, hey, Jacob. Yeah, I'm fine. How are you?" she said, wearily.
