A/N: funny story. I put Jake and Nessie having triplets for two reasons- first, I'm pretty sure wolves have multiple babies at a time, and two, 'cause I thought i always wanted triplets. HA. HA. HA. Do me a favor and look up 'pregnant month by month with triplets' in google-that would scare anyone into using birth control, let me tell ya! For the record, Nessie will NOT have those evil stretch marks- its like a spiderweb stretched across the google woman's stomach! ~love, peace and chocolate!~ Elle

Two: Snow storms,

Hotels, Giant stomachs And

How To explain Cars To The Ancients

I woke up on a plane, cuddled into Jake's lap with Ani pressing a face cloth of cold water against my forehead.

"Oh thank god!" Jake said, when I looked up at him.

"What?" I was groggy, but happy to be in his arms.

"We didn't know when you were going to wake up," Jake ran his free hand across my face. "You just zoned out in the middle of the airport."

"Well, I'm awake now." I sat up, and Ani removed the face cloth.

"I knew you'd come around." Ani said, shooting a look at Jake to say 'I told you so'.

"Hey, her last experience with drugs didn't end well."

"I just put a Rosemary tonic under her tongue- two drops! And look, she's back to normal."

"Are you feeling better?" Daddy said from across the isle. I wasn't sure who was more concerned- Jake or Daddy.

"Yes. The cubs have stopped kicking."

"Thanks to me and Picia." Ani said, proud.

"What?"

"I understood you to be in pain, and we would've hated for you to fall ill." Sulpicia's voice echoed from the seat in front of me. "We just... suggested... that the triplets stop kicking."

"And they did!" Ani said. She, obviously, saw no problem with letting a crazy vampire woman talk to my kids. And, I hate to admit it, since they had stopped hurting me, I didn't mind it either.

"How long till we land?" I asked, stealing a few chips from Jake's bag. He didn't mind- he had Jazz's insanely tasty sandwiches.

"Not long," Jake answered, speaking around a hunk of lettuce. "If you look out the window now, you should be able to see Toronto."

"Really?" I turned away, and lifted up the blind slowly. The last thing we wanted was sunlight in the area of sparkly vampires. The sky was clouded over in angry storm clouds, and looked positively menacing.

Perfect!

I looked down at the ground below us, amazed at how tiny everything looked. I could see the parks, and suburbs and sky scrapers. It was all shiny and big. I hated it. I loved the open air of woods and our house in BC, but Toronto was just too- well, foggy. Even beyond the storm clouds there was a heavy mist hanging over the city, that you could only see with my special eyes. It blurred the trees and spits of grass, making everything look like it was trapped in a dull, gray foggy bubble. It was slightly disgusting, this film that hung over the city.

"the clouds look angry," Jake said, and in the distance I saw lightning flash. Whether it was the lightning or the pilot's voice bursting over the intercom, I jumped.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I regret to inform you that all flights out of the Toronto Airport are canceled do to the brewing storm. We are landing in ten minutes, and hotel accomidations are available to those of you planning to take another flight. Your plane tickets will be refunded and/or rescheduled when the storm ceases. Thank you."

"A storm?" I asked, and stared out the window. Small snow flakes were beginning to fall downwards, making a haze impossible to see through.

"Yeah. Don't worry though, we'll land just fine." Jake wrapped his arm around me, and I eagerly leaned into his chest.

Carlisle's phone rang, and he picked it up in an instant.

"Esme, dearest... We know, the pilot just announced it...Yes... Yes, I'll be sure to tell them all... Sweetheart, I know for a fact that none of us can get frostbite, accepting maybe Nessie and Ani, which are both long shots... If we need to we can... What? Are you sure? Twenty inches? Feet! Esme, you must have misheard... I've never heard of twenty feet of snow in my life, and that's saying a lot... trust me, dearest, I doubt we'll get twenty feet... Oh... Umhum.. Well, if Alice saw it... Don't worry, I'll keep them all indoors... Darling, if it makes you feel any better, I'll bar the windows and use the door to start a fire in the kitchen if needed... No... No! Esme, I draw the line at learning how to knit sweaters... Don't worry, if it comes to that Ani and Jane can knit, and I'm sure the rest can learn... Yes... I'll tell them all... Love you too... No, I told you, I will not knit sweaters! Sorry... 'Kay... Bye."

"Twenty feet?" Daddy questioned, already one step ahead of us all. Ani and Picia nodded- they also had a heads up, I guess.

"Oh, how delightful!" Aro said, sounding like a child. "I've hardly ever seen snow!" Caius pinched the bridge of his nose, and Marcus looked bleakly out the window.

"I have. Trust me, you do not want twenty feet of it. That's insane." Ani said.

"I haven't even heard of such thing." Alec said in wonder. "Can we go skiing? I've seen that on TV, and it looks fun!"

"Oh, we'll be skiing alright." Jake added, and pointed to the window. "Look."

We all peered out our windows, amazed. The entire city was like a blanket already. And that was in the tiny time I'd torn my eyes away. Nearly all the passengers groaned, aside from one little girl a few isles in front of me.

"Why is everyone complaining?" She asked her mother. "This is Canada, further more, Ontario. Live with it- this is nothing compared to last year."

Oh, just peachy.

We landed and walked into a very panicked airport. People were rushing around, on cell phones and pagers, attempting to get a way home, or at least out of the airport.

"Simply intriuging how crazed they get." Aro said in humour. "Carlisle, will we make it out of here before the storm?"

"We certainly will," Caius answered for Carlisle. "Its the human- well, semi-human of our party we have to worry about."

"And they can wait here, or die in the cold." Picia said, shrugging. She didn't care. She hated me, didn't like Jake and totally detested Ani. Their little power struggle last time had left Picia on the short end of the stick, and she wasn't about to forget it.

"Not to worry. I had Jasper call ahead for us to get a limo." we sighed in relief, and after getting out bags walked out into the biting cold of Toronto.

The snow drifts were already piled high, and amazingly the edge of the roof already hung with deadly, sparkling icicles. You could barely see if you were human, as snow blurred the vision and caught in your eyelashes. Daddy stumbled forward to the car, and managed to cram us all in. Carlisle gave the address of the hotel to the driver and off we went, luggage crammed in the trunk and in between passengers. I had to sit on Jake's lap, and Ani and Alec had to do the same. Daddy had to have Jane perched on his knee, much to their mutual horror, and Carlisle had taken the front seat- just in case the driver couldn't see. The five ancients had squeezed in together across from us,

"What is this?" Athenodora asked fingering the felt ceiling in wonder.

"A limo." Ani replied.

"Limo?" Picia asked, trying out the word.

"Yes. Like a carriage, or chariot, or something. I don't know what time line you people are from."

"Where are the horses?" Athenodora asked, peering out the window.

"Horses?" Jake asked, making sure she'd said what she meant.

"Yes. What makes the wheels turn?"

"Horse power, I guess." I said. I knew nothing about cars. Daddy had tried to teach me, Auntie Rosie had tried to teach me, even Jake had had a shot at it. I could tell you nothing about cars aside from they have four wheels, a horn, are made of metal and have a steering wheel. That's it.

"Precisely. Horsepower. Where are the horses?" Picia looked at us like idiots- what a hypocrite.

"In the front of the car, under the hood." Ani tried.

"they must be small." Athenodora said thinking.

"You know absolutely nothing about modern technology, do you?" I asked. They were beating me on the car knowledge scale. It was kinda sad.

"We barely leave the castle, accepting special occasions." Picia said. Wow.

"Well, I was in your shoes a few decades back." Ani said, leaning forward.

"Really?" Athenodora acted quite innocent. She couldn't have been much more then fifteen when turned, and was petite and frail. But I knew better- she was stone cold, heartless and cunning. She was smart. She just acted that way to survive.

"Yes. I was in London, and-"

"Could you speak in Italian?" Picia asked. "It would make this so much easier for us."

"Gladly. Vivevo a Londra al momento. Ero stato molto solitario, e non aveva idea che la società moderna avevano il telefono..." Ani launched into the launguage, and held the attention of all our ancient guests, including Jane and Alec.

Because of this side conversation, no one noticed but Daddy when I cuddled into Jake's chest.

"Hey." Jake whispered in my ear.

"Hey." he put a hand to my now present baby bump.

"I hate to tell you, sweetheart, but you can totally tell you're preggers." i giggled.

"Really?" I asked, smiling sweetly.

"Yeah. Truly, you're getting a distinctive baby bump."

"Is that a bad thing?"

"No. But I think it's grown since we got on the first plane."

"What?" the jokes were over, and though we talked in whispers our tones were serious.

"You've grown like, three inches since we left Prince Rupert."

"Seriously?"

"Yes! Would I lie?" I thought back on our seven years together.

"You lied about barbie dolls once. You said Ken was a girl."

"Ken should be Kendra with all the bright colors and sashes he wears." Jake said, almost to himself. I couldn't help it- I snorted with laughter.

"What?" Jake asked, totally oblivious, and then a little pissed when I couldn't talk. "What?"

"Nothing," i said, doing my best to swallow my laughter. "It's just that the beloved action figures you tried to get me into were Ken's carbon copies."

Jake snorted, and pointed to his chest. "Does Ken have a pasuka and wetsuit? I think not!"

"No, 'casue the name 'G.I. Joe isn't gay at all."

"You do not no the deep symbolism of those three silables."

"And you do?" he was silent. "Anyways, am I really showing?"

"Yes. You could be four months."

"Are you serious?" I was outraged.

"I think?" Jake seemed afraid.

"I'm only thirty nine days! That's like, a month to four month ratio Jake! And that has totally been quicker then before, 'cause I've grown since I got on the plane. Jake- do you know what this means?"

"No."

"Neither do I." I sank into his lap, a bit confused.

"But I know someone who will know what this means..." Jake looked into the front passenger seat, where Carlisle sat, oblivious to what had happened.

When we arrived at the hotel the snow was piled up to at least five feet- in half an hour! Wow. Well, that was Canada, I guess. But, for November, you wouldn't expect it, would you?

Daddy, Carlisle and surprisingly Alec hauled the luggage in, while Jake did his best to get me and Ani inside without us freezing to death. Snow was already coating the suitcases by the time we were all inside and standing in the hotel's lobby, and Daddy checked us in. Because the elevator couldn't hold all of us, Carlisle, Jake, Daddy, and I got into the elevator and hit the thirty two button.

When we were in the hallway, waiting for the others, I caught Daddy staring at my stomach.

"What?" I asked, him, kinda pissed at the staring.

'Nothing." Daddy said, still staring. "It's just you could be five months pregnant."

"Sorry, what? Five months?" Carlisle did a complete one eighty, spinning on his heel and dropping his share of the luggage. He stared at the baby bump too.

I was getting paranoid...

"Five months!" Carlisle said it as a statement this time, totally gawking at my stomach.

"In the car here I was four months!" I cried out, raising my arms in confusion.

"And when she left she was two months at most." Jake added, wrapping an arm around me.

"What have we missed?" Aro said, the ancients finally exiting in the elevator after being amazed at the mechanical Doors. They'd actually taken turns pushing buttons, and Ani looked very put out. Everything was knew to these people! I turned to tell Aro 'what he had missed', and he stared along with everyone else at my stomach.

"It's bigger." Picia said, cocking her head to the side. Great. My baby- babies- were an 'it'. Fabulous.

"Hell yeah!" Ani said, gathering everyone's attention. "First, it's a freaking vampire, wolf and human combo pack! Plus it's triplets. Nessie should be a walking boulder."

"Oh, thanks so very much."

"Welcome."

"Can we get into the rooms now, for Pete's sake?" I demanded, and Carlisle shook himself.

"Ah, sure. Right this way." Carlisle was still stunned, but he could tell I was getting pissed. We reached the end of the line of doors. We had two suites, each with two bedrooms- which was just perfect.

"Now, Aro, Caius, Marcus, Sulpicia and Athenodora, I hope you don't mind sharing a suite with my son and I."

"Where will we be staying?" Jane asked. 'We' referred to her and Alec.

"You'll be rooming with me, Jake and Nessie." Ani said. "Just so that we can give her healthcare twenty four seven." I could swear I saw Alec sigh in relief.

Once everything was unpacked and everything was settled, Carlisle, Daddy and Ani all stood before me, poking at my stomach in wonder. The Ancients were engaged in Alec and Jane's tutorial on the many uses of the TV and its remote, and Aro was happily surfing through the channels. They all had a look that was reminiscent of a kid a Christmas, aside from Marcus, who looked totally and utterly bored.

"I can't get over how big you are." Carlisle said, listening to the babies with a stethescope."

"Thanks." I said, sarcastically.

"I didn't mean it like that. What I'm trying to say is that you might not even get a honeymoon- if the baby-"

"Babies." Ani corrected.

"Babies keep growing like this, you'll deliver in no shorter then a week."

"A week?" Jake yelled. He was shocked. Ready for fatherhood? Sure. Ready for it that soon, no.

"At least. Maybe three weeks to a month."

"I can't get over it." Daddy muttered, pulling at his hair. Mum loved it when he did that.

"What? How giant my wife is?" Jake said, as Ani measured my cercumference. I groaned.

"No, I'm going to be a grand father seven years after having a kid."

"You're surprised!" Carlisle added, staring at his son. "I'm a great grandfather while still physically twenty four! Try that!"

"Carlisle," Marcus called, as Aro and Caius literally played tug-of-war for the remote. God, they were like little kids! Picia was pinching the bridge of her nose between two fingers, and Athenodora was cheering them on with little claps and squeaks. She would get along with Alice really, really well.

"Yes?" Carlisle took his mind off me for an instant, focusing for a second on one of our guest bloodsucking ancients.

"It thought you would like to know that this 'weather channel' appears to be telling us we're getting six feet of 'snow' tonight- whatever that happens to mean."

"Six feet?" Jake asked, taken back. I stalked over to the window, cursing the fact that I now waddled like a duck do to the triplets, and pulled the curtains aside.

The world outside was a blur of white specks, and the balcony was already filled up with snow, icicles hanging from the banisters.

"Six feet!" I declared. This would be interesting...
