I'm not a fan of Twilight, but I've read the books. You describe imprinting as "choosing to love someone" and that Jacob chose to fall in love with Bella's daughter. This is not the case with imprinting. Imprinting from Stephenie Meyer's point of view is something like "falling in love with someone WITHOUT having a choice. You basically ARE her soulmate, and you would do everything to be everything for her."
There isn't any choice when it comes to imprinting.. it just happens to the "werewolves" (shapeshifters) in the Twilight Series. And apparantly, Jacob is Renesmee's soulmate. Also, imprinting isn't quite like pedophilia (though I completely understand why people see it that way). The person who's imprintend on another (Jacob on Renesmee), will be her best friend if he needs to, or like a brother, when she's very young. Later in their lives, she'll realize (as Meyer says, though) that he's the only one right for her, and they'll be together. Still, he's much older than she is (this isn't the case with all the character; some of them imprinted on girls their age.). I think Meyer's idea was: "Love conquers all, even age".
I hope this answers your question =)
