Faint sunlight crept in between the tall and slender pines, making the landscape in front of the Cullen’s house look magical.

Renesmee loved sunsets. With her face pressed up to the glass window, the golden light flickered into her deep brown eyes.

However, that evening there was another reason why the bouncing auburn haired beauty was even bouncier than usual. Unaware that her Aunt Alice was passing by her and had rolled her eyes, she was just as unaware of her huge, muscular uncle sneaking up from behind until she was already arched high up on his back.

“Stop!!!” Renesmee shrieked as Emmett clutched her legs.

“Aww! What’s this I hear? Renesmee Cullen dispensing a big o’ bear hug from her favorite uncle?” Emmett hollered, not letting go. In fact, he made a swaying motion as though he intended to swing her onto the nearest sofa, which would’ve been right where Alice was examining various dress designs.

“Not now and my favorite uncle’s Jasper!”

A musical giggle burst from Alice as she watched Emmett’s grin fade into a scowl.

“Princess…” Emmett pouted.

When Alice suppressed her laughter at last, she asked Renesmee, “Why are you getting so hyped up about Jacob? It’s only been a few days.”

“Weeks.” Renesmee clarified, turning her head to look at Alice from over Emmett’s massive shoulder.

“One week.” Emmett corrected, shamelessly. “And if that mutt was too tired to stop by after his shift then you shouldn’t waste your time-”

Razor sharp nails digging into Emmett’s cheek forced him to gasp, though Renesmee’s nails weren’t sharp enough to damage his stony skin, of course. It was more surprise due to her reaction.

“Put me down!” Renesmee commanded through gritted teeth.

Emmett did so immediately.

“Don’t call him that.” was her next command as she stepped away from him with a disappointed frown on her face.

“Nessie, I’m sorry, it slipped.” Emmett was still apologizing as Renesmee climbed up the staircase to the bathroom.

“Could you be any more discrete?” Alice prodded Emmett with a toss of her head.

A menacing growl erupted from downstairs when Emmett passed his large hand over the dress designs, sending them flying in all directions.

“Rosalie?” Renesmee knocked on the door of the luxurious bathroom. “May I come in?”
