If you haven't read, or finished reading Breaking Dawn, then please don't read any further. I do not want to spoil anything for someone.
My question, or questions rather, are about Jacob and Renesmee. Let's start with some straight forward facts.
A. Jacob is a shapeshifter, he rapidly aged to about physically 25. As long as he decides to keep phasing, he will not age. So he technically could live forever.
B. Jacob imprints on Renesmee, making her the center of his world.
C. We learn from Nahuel, that Renesmee will take 7 years to grow to about physically age 25, then stop aging. She is immortal, even though she has a beating heart.
Now the questions:
1. Do you think Jacob would stay immortal for Renesmee?
2. Would you like to read about their story, and why?

Jacob explained this in Eclipse when he told Bella that even though a person isn't forced to be with the one who imprints on them, they would choose to be with them because no one can refuse that strong of a commitment. When he was explaining Claire's situation to Bella, he told her that Quil would be whatever Claire needed him to be. A babysitter, a big brother, a friend, and eventually a lover.
And yes; Jacob would stay a shape shifter for Renesmee. The reason I say this with certainty is because he has no choice. Imprinting is the strongest of all holds on any two people, and regardless of whether he wants to be a shape shifter or not, he will stay one so he can be with Renesmee. I believe that this was Stephenie's way of giving everyone a happy ending. Though technically there will be no ending assuming they never meet up with the Volturi again.
I don't think that Stephenie will write a book about Jacob and Renesmee; at least not any time soon. And even though I love the saga, I don't think she should write anymore books involving any of the characters. She ended the series perfectly, and she tied up all loose ends. Continuing the story would just drag it out way too long, and Stephenie said this herself on her website. But yes, I would read the story if she wrote it because I love those characters, and I really just wouldn't have a choice in the matter. I would be incomplete if I didn't read all the stories. :) [ Melody's advice column | Ask Melody A Question ]
