Make sure to leave some reviews and give out some super cool ideas! Enjoy!
Chapter 1: Six Months!
Renesmee POV:
"Mama!" said one my favorite voices.
"Mommy's coming, honey." I said as I rolled off of Jake's naked body.
"At least we got a morning round in." he smirked at me as I slipped into my favorite blue robe.
"Shut up you." I chuckled before giving him a quick peck on his lips.
"6 months, baby!"
I can't believe it's been this long already, our little Edward Jacob is six months old. Since he looked twice his age, he looked about a year old. Jay learns a new thing everyday, he crawled for about a month before he walked like the little champion he is. His vocabulary is pretty good, he knows how to use his manners and other basic stuff. Mom taught him how to count to 20 in Portuguese but he was having a little trouble with that, he can count to 20 in English no problem though.
Jay's diet consisted of mostly human food and mountain lion blood. I started to ween him off of my breast milk once he started walking because Jake and I are starting to try again for another baby and we didn't want to cut him off too late. It was a little bit of trouble at first but he was okay within a few days.
I picked up my big boy from his crib and hugged him tightly as I stroked his beautiful bronze hair that was growing like crazy.
"Oh my special boy. Today is a big day for you."
"Big day?"
"Yep! We're having a mini birthday party for you." I kissed his tan cheeks, "And everyone that loves you will be here."
"Yay!" he flew his arms up.
"It's exciting isn't it." I laughed as I went to his changing table and put on a fresh diaper, "I'll give Nama Bella a call to see if our other family is here yet."
"Nama!"
"You like her a lot, huh. And also Nampa, right?"
"Yesh." he kicked his feet while I finished changing his diaper.
"They love you so much Blue Jay. How about you wear the cute sweater Auntie Ally got for you. She'll just love you in it."
I changed him into the cute sweater and trousers to match and completely gawked at how adorable my son just looked in it. Alice must've known how cute it would look on him. It was a sky blue and it made his skin look so beautiful, a great compliment. I let Jay play with his trucks while I dialed up Mom's number.
"Where's my birthday boy?!"
I laughed and kneeled down by Jay, "Say 'hi'!"
"Hi Nama." he yelled at the phone.
"Aww, hi Edward. Happy six months, kiddo."
"What do you say, sweetie?"
"Tank you!"
I brought the phone up to my ear and walked to the kitchen to make Jay his favorite breakfast, "Is everyone here?"
"Yep, they landed in this morning. We'll be at your place in half an hour to help cook and set up stuff."
"Cool. Gosh I miss them so much, I think I have a Skype call with them everyday so they can see how big Jay is getting." I sighed happily, "Aunt Alice saw something though about Jake and I and I told her to zip it, I don't want to work myself up if it's what I think it is you know?"
"Yeah, you just have to let it happen. But we're all crossing our fingers for you, honey."
"I know, and thanks. I have the Glow app on my phone and this week I am ovulating so it'll most likely happen sooner than later." I pursed my lips, "I really want EJ to have siblings to grow up with since he's getting big so fast."
"It'll happen, Renesmee. I'll see you soon though, I have to stop your father and Emmett from wrestling inside the house."
"Good luck. Bye, Mom." I snickered as I finished stirring the chocolate chips in the pancake batter.
"Bye."
I hardly noticed when Jake snuck up behind me and took in my scent. I could feel his need but that'll have to wait until tonight.
"Jay is going to love his gift." he finally said.
"Don't think about it, I bet he's been trying to figure it out." I laughed as I poured the batter into the skillet.
Jay's gift seemed to improve over time. He could concentrate on which mind he wants to read whereas my Dad hears everyone's thoughts. I thought that was pretty cool.
"He gets that from you."
"Me?" I scoffed, "You're probably right but I'll just disagree with that."
"Have you had any weird cravings yet?"
I shook my head, "Nope, but I have a feeling this time around that we're gonna get pregnant. I kinda want a little brother for Jay."
"I bet you've been thinking of some names."
"A few, not too many though." I admitted as I flipped the pancakes over.
I heard tiny little footsteps approach us and I turned around to see my happy little boy marching with his truck. It's like he knew today is his day.
"Daddy! I got twuck!" he announced.
"Cool, buddy. What sound does a truck make?"
"Vroom."
"I'm making your favorite, Jay." I sang, "Would you like some mountain lion blood with it?"
"Yesh pwease." he nodded.
So cute.
Jake filled up his sippy cup with the blood while I cut up Jay's pancakes into small pieces and topped it off with syrup. We were training him on how to feed himself. He was doing okay for a beginner but there was always a mess on the tray on his high chair and on the floor. We limited what he fed himself because of that but since today is his special day, I'm okay with an extra mess to clean up.
"Make sure he has a bib on, Jake."
"No bib!" Jay protested.
"Sorry, Jay. Mommy wins." Jake said as picked up our pouting son.
"We can't get your shirt dirty, honey." I told him while I grabbed him a toddler fork.
As always, he enjoyed my cooking and had no problem letting me know. He kept on saying "Mm!" and "Das good, mama!" It's so funny to watch, he's definitely his father's son. I made Jake pancakes too and he enjoyed his meal with Jay while I slipped into the shower to get ready for the day. I decided to wear my Best Coast T-shirt that Jake got for me with a pair of jeggings and combat boots. I wanted my hair out of my face so I did it half up and half down and made sure to include my favorite barrette in the hairstyle.
By the time I was out the bathroom, my family was here and I gave them all a great big hug. Grandma Esme and Mom got to work with baking the cake and all the other food, Jay will be in absolute heaven. Of course, everyone got their special time with Jay and he loved it. Especially when Aunt Alice complimented how cute her Calvin Klein looked in his sweater.
"Auntie Rose, book pwease?" Jay held out a Curious George book to her.
"I'd be honored to read Curious George to you, handsome boy." she lifted him up and sat in the rocking chair with him.
I'd have to ask Nahuel if he could find another sibling that Aunt Rosalie and Uncle Emmett can adopt. I knew that is the one thing she really wanted in her life. I picture her with a little girl to doll up and Emmett would spoil her too. Nahuel recently found a brother in Sweden. He had no idea what his father was doing in Europe but he's sure that he'll have more siblings popping up all over Europe. Him and Leah named his brother Augustus, Gus for short, and he's just a darling little boy. Leah is happy to have a baby in her life, she wouldn't push him calling her mom or anything but she's prepared to raise a vampire hybrid. He is at the stage of pulling himself up on objects tall enough for him to reach, and like me, he could talk before he could walk. From what Leah tells me, he is the biggest soccer fan and just loves watching soccer games with his big brother.
Rachel and her family showed up an an hour earlier than the call time and brought Billy with them. I love having her and Rebecca around all of the time like this, especially since Summer and Rosie are making so many milestones. The twins are almost eight months old and they get into a lot of trouble together crawling in places they should be getting into. They babble like crazy and their favorite thing to do was do their baby version of dancing.
"Hello, twinnies! You two look so cute today." I cooed at them earning a smile.
"Paul wanted to help Jake set up the bonfire so we came an hour early." Rachel set Summer down on the floor to play with Sahara, "And I had to get Dad since Becky is still at the pre school doing a parent-teacher conference and Solomon was picking Blake up from daycare. Hectic morning for me, I tell you."
"Well you're here and that's all that matters." I hugged my sister-in-law.
Sam and Emily's family were the next to come. Colton, who is now six, told Jake and I all about how cool first grade is. He looks so much like Emily when he gets all excited. Four month old Ethan is a spitting image of Sam and it is just adorable, he's just as reserved as his father too. Emily loves being a stay-at-home mom just like me and we constantly exchange recipes and talk about the shows that our kids are so fascinated by.
"Colton told me he wants to be Mickey Mouse for Halloween because of that show." Emily told me, "It's February and this kid is already deciding on what he wants to be for Halloween."
"That's hilarious, Em." I chuckled, "He'll change his mind about thirty times watch, you know boys. The other day Jay couldn't decided whether or not he wanted toast with jam or toast with butter. I got frustrated that I put both butter and jam and he loved it."
"I completely understand you, Colton and I fight daily over which fruit he's taking for lunch."
I haven't thought about the schooling situation for Jay and any future children. Jake and I decided we'd go to school once we're done having kids just to fit in with society while my parents would watch the kids. It would probably be best if they were homeschooled until they stopped growing and then they could go to high school and college if they wanted.
Everyone trickled in pretty much after half an hour. Jay seemed to enjoy having so many people here and had a blast playing with his cousins and the other pack kids. Jake's brothers played football outside with my uncles while my Aunts played games with the kids. They played games like musical chairs, Simon says, duck-duck-goose, and freeze dance. It was absolutely hilarious seeing Jay shake his butt to an Electric Guest song.
We then sang Happy (six months) Birthday and everyone enjoyed the chocolate swirl cake that Mom and Grandma Esme worked hard on. After cake, Jay opened his gifts and thanked everybody. He got a few outfits, plenty of books, and tons of toys. In all, party was a success.
Everyone was out of the house by eight except for my parents since they were helping Jake clean up. I changed my sleepy toddler into some pajamas and sat in the rocking chair with him to rock him to sleep like I did when he was much smaller.
"Oh, Edward Jacob. You have no idea how much joy you brought into your father's and my life." I stoked his hair, "I love you so very much."
"Love you, mama." He replied, his twinkling eyes looking up at me.
"I want to show you something Jay, it's Mommy's special gift do you remember?"
He nodded. I placed my hand on his cheek and showed him my thoughts:
Adventure Time went on commercial and I decided that now should be a good time to look at the results. I held onto Jake's hand and took in a big deep breath. I raised the stick up eye level and slowly opened my eyes.
Yes.
Yes! It says yes! I'm going to be a mother and Jake is going to be a father. I'm carrying Jake's child!
"Oh my gosh!" I said tearfully as I hopped onto Jacob's lap, "I can't believe it!"
"Oh, Nessie I love you so much!" Jake hugged me tightly as he set his plate down on the coffee table.
—
I could see my little peanut sleeping here and to think it'll come soon made me feel overjoyed. I felt my happy tears brim my eyes as I quickly dabbed them away with the back of my hand. It's all becoming so real. Jake and I would be a real family before we know it. And that's when I felt the slightest little nudge against my lower abdomen.
I gasped and placed my hand on my bump, "Jake! Jake! The baby kicked!"
"No way!" Jake's smile grew even more as he put his hands at either sides of my belly.
Nudge nudge.
"Hey little buddy, it's Daddy." Jake almost said in a whisper while he got down on his knees, "Mommy and I love you so much."
Nudge.
Tears were definitely streaming down my face now. My little angel, my precious little angel changed me so much just by gracing us with his presence.
"I can't wait to meet you little sweetheart."
—
"We were so excited to have you, Jay. I'm so happy I get to be your Mommy." I whispered to him.
He gave me a sleepy smile before he fell asleep in my arms. I kissed his little nose before I got up and put him in his crib. I made sure to tuck him in his blanket and I leaned in to give him one final kiss on the cheek.
Jake came in soon after and gave our son a goodnight kiss before he pulled me into his arms.
"You're a good mom, Ness." He whispered to me as he lifted me off my feet.
"And you're a good dad." I smiled, "Look how great he's turning out to be. I'm impressed with us."
Jake carried me to our room and we got undressed before we climbed into bed together. I gave him a long kiss before I buried my face into his warm chest.
"With rad parents like us, there's no way our kid wouldn't be cool."
Oh, Jake.
