Memories

Nessie's POV (11 years ago)

How could i do this? I thought of every option i had. First i needed to tell Jacob. Then...there's Dad. He'll find out in my head soon anyway but i want to be the one to tell him. Maybe i'll get Mum to shield me for a while. She'll ask why, of coarse, but i can tell Mum anything. Who to tell first? Oh, i know. Alice! She wont be able to see their recations because she can't see me or Jacob but she's the best at advice. I'll tell her first.

"Oh, Renesme! Really?" Alice's face was bursting with happiness, but then it went annoyed. "Why didn't Edward tell me...or Bella."

"Your the only person i've told." I told her truthfully.

"Really? Not even Jacob?"

"Nope. I need advice."

"Telling Edward?" she sighed.

"Oh yeah!"

"Well, he'd apriciate it if he found out first hand and not from someone's mind so i'd tell him before the others. Obviously tell Jacob. He'll be thrilled." Alice seemed seemed more excited then i had been, but i was too worried then. Now, that Alice didn't tell me that i was doomed to oblivion when telling Edward, i could hardly breath with happiness.

"Jacob? I need to talk to you." I said, feeling shaken.

He smiled warmly at me and nodded. "Sure Nessie." He stood up and came over to me, giving me a kiss on the cheek and followed me into our bedroom, holding my hand. His love did boost my confidence, knowing that he would be as happy as i was. We'd been together for ages after i stopped growing so i knew he loved me. No two people can stay together for twenty years.

We sat down on our bed and he was still smiling. It was the most beautiful thing i've every seen.

"Jacob?"

"Yes."

I couldn't help smile with him. I knew i looked like an idiot with a stupid grin on my face but i couldn't help it. The more i thought about what i was going to tell him, the happier i felt. Happier then when i saw him at the end of the aisle and wished the music would hurry up so i could reach him sooner. More then our first kiss, the first night. I was so full of bliss that i wanted to cry.

"I'm pregnant." There were a few beats of scilence when i worried that i would be alone in my happiness but...

"Oh! Nessie, Nessie!" He cried with joy. "We're having a baby!" He hugged me tightly. And i couldn't help it anymore. I let out a giant sob and started to cry.

"Oh, honey. Why are you crying?" He asked, wiping away my tears.

"Because i'm so...happy. We're having a baby!"

"If it's a girl can i name her? I have a great idea." He asked.

"Allready?" I asked, bemused.

He shifted uncomphortable and it looked so cute. "Well, i did wonder...you know...if you could."

I smiled. "So did i. Quite a while ago. Well? what's your idea?"

"Rachel, after my sister. And her middle name, Issabella, after your Mum."

"What if it's a boy?"

"I havn't thought yet. Jacob junior?" He laughed and so did i but i stopped laughing.

"That's not too bad. If i were a boy, Mum said i would be called..."

"...Edward Jacob." Jacob finished for me. We smiled. Well, we had our ideas.

"Don't get too excited about your spawn being named after you. I'm rooting for a girl here and maybe it'll hear me and agree." We laughed again.

"Here's the hard bit."

"Telling Edward?" I quoted Alice.

"Oh, yeah."

To be honest, i have no idea why i was so worried about telling my Dad. Edward, after Bella had practically screamed with happiness and scolding me for making her a grandma, smiled at me and said "You sure you know what your doing, Renesme?" He asked.

I nodded. "We've thought it out throuroughly. We even have names."

Bella attacked. "Oh, please tell me! It took me quite a while before i decided what to name you. It was suprising as i was sure it was a boy. But after one day? Tell me!"

Jacob grinned. "I chose the girl name and Nessie chose the boy name. We think it would be good to prepare for whether it's either and not just settle on one gender and be set on that." He leered slightly at Bella who laughed.

"Well, If it's a girl, we're naming her after Jacob's sister, Rachel."

"Middle name Issabella." Jacob added, smiling at his best friend.

Bella's face slit into a beautiful smile, her eyes were ful of love. "And the boy?"

"My little EJ." I said, quoting what Bella had said when i wasn't even born yet.

Edward's serious expression sofened. And then he laughed. "Ha! I'm before you, Jacob."

Jacob frowned slightly but responded with, "Rachel's before Bella."

We talked animatly for a while and i saw a slow frown etch on my mother's face. I really wished i knew what she was thinking.

Bella's POV

Nessie had just left to go tell Billy and the other wolves. Now i could ask Edward without much fear.

"Edward!" I said urgently. "But...remember when i was pregnant...i couldn't let that happen to..." But i was cut off.

"Bella." Edward's face was warm and he hugged me. "That wouldn't happen. The child will only be 1/4 vampire so it won't be like that. The rest of it will be human until the wolf gene kicks in. It will be a normal birth...mostly."
