Okay this is pretty short but it's just how my mind was flowing at the time I wrote it. It's set about 5 years post BD. All reviews are welcome here. Hope you enjoy it! Oh and as always, if I get good reviews, I'll write more chapters.
Chapter One: Positive
"Stop bouncing Jake, you're making me nervous." Nessie says. She looks worriedly from his jittery form to the small white object on the bathroom counter.
"We should be nervous, Ness. Don't you get it? This is serious. You're still a teenager for God's sake. I didn't even think this could happen! He's gonna kill me. No, she's gonna kill me."
"Nobody's dying here Jacob, I'm a grown woman and it was my decision." She says with frustration. Why can't he be happy? It couldn't possibly be that bad. "Anyone who has a problem will just have to deal with it. Now shut up, I think the time's up." She picks up the small white stick lying on the counter and examines it. "Oh" she gasps. Her hand covers her mouth as she stands there, looking at him.
"What?" He barks, raising his eyebrows. "What does it say?"
"See for yourself." She says beaming. She hands over the object and watches his shocked expression as he reads the results. Her smile falls a bit, but she can't keep the glow off her face.
He looks up at her, his eyes full of panic. It falls away as he catches sight of the smile lingering her lips. He can handle this if it makes her happy. "Positive" he whispers mirroring her grin.
"We're pregnant!" says Nessie. She stands beaming in the middle of the big house, her arms placed delicately around her abdomen. Jacob shuffles behind her and whispers into her ear.
"I clearly remember telling you to wait until I said it was safe." His voice is gruff; his eyes anxiously scan the room taking note of the completely frozen forms. He steps forward until he is directly in front of Renesmee.
Bella is the first to thaw. She slips her hand out of Edward's and walks slowly, deliberately around Jacob to her daughter's side. She places a pale hand on Nessie's, which is still resting on top of her belly.
"How long have you known?" she asks.
"Oh, well I just took the test yesterday. Jake said we should wait to tell you, but I just couldn't stop myself. It just seemed like such great news." Nessie bites her lip and looks apprehensively from her mother to Jacob, to her father, her eyes eventually falling on all of the people in the room.
They melt under her gaze. Edward walks forward, taking Bella's hand again and smiling at his daughter. Alice and Esme are instantly at her side.
"Oh honey, it's fabulous news." Esme coos, patting Nessie's shoulder.
"Absolutely" agrees Alice "I can't wait to go baby shopping!"
"Oh my God" Emmett exclaims, his hand coming to his mouth in mock surprise. "Doesn't that, like, make you a grandpa?" he inquires, his eyebrows wagging at Edward.
"No." Edward says, replying to some unsaid thought.
Everyone turns to look at him, but his eyes are on Renesmee. "That has got to be the worst name I've ever heard in my life. And that's saying something."
"But-I-it's, yeah okay, it's not the best one I've thought of so far." She admits, smiling
"What was it?" Bella asks, quickly grasping the conversation.
"Yes, well, I suppose it's you're fault." Edward says, looking at his wife now "Giving her such a complex mish-mash of names. You've ruined her ability to see names clearly."
"What was the name?" Bella asks again, looking to Nessie this time.
"Imagine Euphoria" Nessie murmurs, her eyes falling to the ground in mock embarrassment. "But I'd call her Ginny!" she defends
"Wow, Ness, maybe you should leave the naming to the experts." Jacob says, stabbing a finger at his chest.
"Oh really, well what would you suggest, Mr. Expert?" Nessie asks, her eyebrows raising.
"Something strong and manly, like Nathan Anthony or Samuel Tyler" He replies
"You can't give a little girl a strong, manly name." She argues
"I don't make little girls, babe, I'm a man's man, and men like me make sons." Jacob says smugly
"Ooooooh that was the wrong thing to say man" Emmett chuckles, from the couch.
"So what are you saying?" Nessie questions, her bottom lip poking out and her head tilting slightly to the side. "You don't want the baby if it's a girl?"
It works; Jacob's hardened expression dissolves beneath her false sorrow. "No, no of course not" he responds, pulling her into his embrace. "I want whatever you want."
"Anything?" she asks, bringing out the full force of those chocolate brown eyes.
"Anything but the name Imagine" he qualifies
Thanks for reading!
