I think it just freaks some people out that he's found his soul mate in a newborn baby. People might find it just a little bit too weird. But I agree, she's going to grow up and become a beautiful woman, and it will be the closest, most comfortable, wonderful relationship. I mean, she is going to grow up with Jacob always there, a part of her life, part of her happiest days and as a comfort in her not so happy days. He'll be there for every thing that happens in her life, from the day she was born, through childhood, and through adolesence, and when she eventually is old enough to fall in love with him and be with him, it'll be the strongest, happiest love you could imagine. Perhaps it's just hard to imagine, and so people have trouble with the idea.
I'm all for it, if I think about it. When reading the book, the sudden change in Jacob when he'd imprinted, after reading so much about his love for Bella and fighting for Bella, felt a little strange.

I think people just forget it's not romantic at first.

I loved it! I thought it was an interesting twist but at the same time completely made sense. He had such a strong connection to Bella, but a romantic relationship between them was never feasible. Although imprinting on Nessie didn't mean they were romantically involved (for now anyway), I thought it explained why he may have had such a strong connection to Bella even though they couldn't be a couple - she was destined to give birth to his imprint.

I get that he only likes her as a sister but I don't see how that would suddenly change into 'I want to date her'. If you love someone like a sibling, that doesn't just change and that's why I think it's wrong.

People are just jumping to conclusions. Jacob does not think of Renesmee in that way! He is a big brother/protector...maybe when Renesmee is older they might get involved romantically? Stephenie wanted Jacob to have a happy ending and i guess he got his with his Nessie =)

agree with XxTeamEdwardXx... he's just Nessie's protector. But it's good that he has Renesmee, Because he can't have Bella as his own,it's better if she has someone to be with.So,yeah.I'm not really against the imprinting stuff.Actually I think it's cool!

i think it's down right creepy to imprint on your former loves daughter? why can't couldn't Stephanie have Jacob imprint on another human? Although when Nessie does get older she should keep eye on her mother you never know when Bella might decide to jump into Jacob's pants if things go south between her and Edward

I think it's weird. Jacob's romantic relationship with Bella should have automatically disqualified him from possible future romantic interest in Nessie. I think it's a weak consolation prize for a character who gave everything and got nothing in return but anguish.

I think it was a little wierd to have him imprint on Bellas daughter.When reading the books i thought that Leah (seths sister) and Jacob may have come to like each other. I would have loved that as an ending!I know they were part of the same pack but they both knew what it was like to love someone not in love with them, and they new how the wolf life worked. So in a way i was hoping that was the ending..
Does anyone else agree??

I like that idea crjjen. My sister thought that they would be a good couple too.

Well, whilst i do believe that the imprint with Nessie/Jake is completely one of carer/baby at this stage, and then it will be best friend/kid and eventually boy/girl, and i do see how a carer can become a best friend, and best friends can definitely become partners, but eventually dating someone whose mother you also dated? Isn't that a bit strange? Plus Leah/Jacob would have been awesome.

Even though it was the only way out of the situation that came up in the fourth book I really didn't like the imprinting idea. It wasn't because of her being a newborn because they say in the book it wasn't like that it was because it takes away choice. Bella got to choose Edward it would have been nice if Jacob had a choice as well.

I just think his imprint could have been SO much better. I mean, I'm ok with the fact that it's a baby, just not that it's Bella's baby! I would have LOVED for Jacob to have met a cousin or friend of a neighbor that was visiting Forks and just totally fell in love (imprinted). I would want it to be someone his age, not someone he has to wait for. It almost seems like it's a sort of consolation prize.(As stated by Onemelami) I mean, if it was me, I wouldn't want my soul mate to have been in love with My Mom! Also, I want Jacob's life to go on already, with someone his age, who can love him NOW, not in the future. I was really disappointed with the outcome. I really wish it could have been different.

no ofense to everyone here but not only is the whole Reneseme thing stupid but its just plain WRONG!!! it's a joke that Edwards fans can plaster on Team Jacob for losing the REAL girl of his dreams to a dead guy!!!! sorry that just won't cut it with fans like me, i will never read BD again and i really hope the movie doesn't get made anytime soon!!! meyer was clearly off her rocker when she wrote that book!!! again i don't to offend its just my honest opinion!!!

nothing's wrong. .
except,i wish he imprinting me. .

i find it a bit appaling that Jacob imprints on THE BLOOD SUCKER!!!!

well i guess his imprinting thing is ok.
but i wish it was on some one a little older.
personally I wished he could have imprinted
on bella.
I would want jacob to imprint on me that is impossible

Well, there are quite a lot of reasons actually...

Like most of them mentioned, I feel that it's pretty awkward that Jacob imprinted on Bella's kid, since he was actually in love with Bella before. What if Renesmee actually found out one day that Jacob used to have feelings for her mum? If I were her, I think I would be rather uncomfortable with the truth.

And the fact that Jacob has a brotherly kind of love for Renesmee while she's still underage gives me mixed feelings too. So, while Renesmee is still a kid, Jacob only loves her as a brother. But once she's old enough, Jacob would love her like a lover? I find it rather strange.

Another point...According to the books, it was mentioned that Renesmee will fully mature after (erm) 7 years? She may be physically mature but I don't think she'll be emotionally mature. Given only 7 years of existence, she may be able to think and talk like an adult but I don't think that time span is enough for her to fully understand the depths of relationships and emotional hardships...

i think its good but its creepy becuase imagine when she grows up get romatic with him (kissing) its weird because he kissed her mom its grows

yes, agree with most of u.
Im against it. Imprinting is kind of ok but just not with Bella's kid. Its creepy.


rachaelwsz kind of said it all.

I'm just replaying this in my head....when I was born, there was a seventeen-year-old boy at my birth who strongly cared for me me minutes after I came into this world. As I grew up, I began to see him as a brother and loved him as a relative. He cares for me, protects me, goes almost everywhere with me, and I always enjoy his company :)
For a while, this boy was an enormous part of my family. Then, when I reach a certain age I suddenly fall romantically in love with him?

Yeah. To me that's not just...okay.

HEY GUYS!

I love all of your replies, even if you're agreeing or disagreeing. ^^, you're all so cool. but for me, it'll always be okay for Jake to imprint on Nessie because it caused a balance in the series.

Look at it. Jake's not after Edward's neck anymore. the treaty was renewed and the wolves are at peace with the vamps.

yeah it's kind of weird...but it's cool ^^

well i find it ok cause imprinting
well imprinting is like this the guy trys so hard
to find the one he loves but if he cant he stops ageing to he finds the one he loves so its not that creepy its just like going out with a thousand year out vamp

especially if she's beautiful like Renesmee ^^

JACOB imprinted on Renee. thats completely understandable. i gues its kinda like the part of Bella that JACOB loved was the part that Bella gave birth to. in that way, she separated herself from her dilemma of choosing between EDWARD N JACOB.
