Today is the last day of school until two weeks! I'm in math class and people who know my math class will know the amount of work we do just to piss off our teacher (ie. None). So to celebrate the last day and a free math period, I'm posting a chapter! *holds for applause*
JPOV:
I drove my bike out to the high school to pick Skye up, with my spare helmet and my spare riding jacket in the back.
I sat parked in the parking lot, leaning against the bike, waiting for the bell to ring.
A shrill bell that was almost deafening rang and I grabbed the helmet and jacket for Skye when she came out.
I saw her walking with a friend, her blonde hair swishing with enthusiasm and her blue eyes bright. It's strange how she was the only one with blonde hair and blue eyes in our family.
I looked a bit closer and recognized her friend. It couldn't be, could it? Was it really?
"I'll see you tomorrow, Alice," Skye called out as Alice got into the silver car I was parked near.
Then, an all too familiar face appeared in my sight, and I glared at him, wanting to break something. I ran my hand through my hair to show off my gold wedding band to the Cullen kid, and he stiffened, his jaw rigid.
"Skye, over here," I called out, and all of the Cullens looked in my direction. Skye's eyes brightened.
"Hey dad, you'll never guess what song was on the radio when mom brought me to school. It's an old song, something along the lines of 'Stacy's mom has got it going on'? Know that one?" she rambled as she took the jacket and helmet and I put mine back on.
"By Stacy do you mean Stacy Stanley? Because that is the most disgusting thing I've heard so far today," I said as she got on the bike and wrapped her arms around my waist. She gave a little wave to the silver car before I roared out of the parking lot.
When we reached the house, Bella was cooking dinner. It smelled like spaghetti bolognaise.
Before we got into the kitchen, I gave Skye a heads up.
"Skye, for your mothers' sake, don't mention that friend that you were walking out with today, alright? If you want her to cook our meals for the next month, don't mention it. Please. Because I love your mothers' cooking and mine is horrible."
"Alright. But why?" I decided that Skye didn't need to find out the horrors of the Cullens, so I tried my best to avoid the subject.
"When you leave Spokane, then ask me again."
We walked into the kitchen and Bella smiled brightly at us.
"Hey baby, how was your first day of school?" Bella asked.
"Good, I made some new friends and it turns out that I'm smarter than half the school, so I'm doing well. Hey, I've got some homework, so I'd better go up to my room to work on it."
"Okay, but don't forget that dinner will be ready in 5 minutes. Tell your brother that as well," Bella yelled up the stairs as Skye darted away.
Bella put down the spoon that she was stirring with and came and wrapped her arms around my neck.
"So, I decided to get my vomiting looked at, and the doctor came back with some unexpected news."
I put two and two together. The vomiting, the news being unexpected and her bright mood this afternoon. If it was something bad, she wouldn't be in such a good mood.
"You're pregnant again, aren't you?" I asked her, a grin creeping onto my face. Her face was a mirror image of mine as she nodded her head vigorously.
"Do you think that I should tell the kids now or later?" Bella asked me.
"Tell them during dinner, because it's easier to make a conversation topic over an Italian meal, like my dad would always say. Of course, it's not like we often had Italian meals, so we basically didn't talk much."
Bella got some plates out of the cupboard and started to serve up the spaghetti bolognaise.
"Honey, would you go tell the kids that dinner's ready?"
I went upstairs to Skye's room, where she was sitting on her bed doing her homework and listening to music.
"Skye, dinner's ready. Come down now," I said, and peeked my head into Kyle's room to tell him the same.
Once the kids were all downstairs eating dinner, I decided that now was the best time.
"Guys, your mom has some important news to tell you. This affects all of us," I said in a mock serious tone, keeping my game face on.
Bella's game face was on, right until the very last second. "I'm pregnant again."
Skye squealed. That's right, she fucking squealed and then rushed around the table to give Bella a big hug. Kyle on the other hand looked totally confused.
"What's pregnant?" he asked. I put my arm around him in a 'wise old man' way.
"Well, being pregnant is sometimes what happens when a mommy and a daddy love each other very much. It's when a baby grows inside of you, and comes out a while later. That's how we got you and Skye."
Kyle's eyes went wide, frightened. "Could I get pregnant?"
I laughed. "Of course not. It only happens to girls, but the guys have a pretty important job too."
Kyle pondered that for a second. "What do the guys have to do?"
I thought of how the best way to tell him was. "Well, pretend that your mom was a flowerbed and I'm a farmer. Farmer's have to put seeds in flowerbeds if they want anything to grow in them, don't they? So that's what I did. I put a seed in the flowerbed."
"But how did you get the seed in there daddy?" I felt uncomfortable answering this question.
"When you get into high school, then I'll tell you. But you'll probably already know by then." Kyle looked disappointed at that, not being able to find out how the 'seed' got into the 'flowerbed'.
Skye and Bella were deep in conversation, so Kyle and I finished our dinner in peace and washed up our dishes, leaving the girls to fend for themselves.
So that was the first day done. Both the kids were happy at their new schools, and Bella and I were happy with the news that our family was going to expand.
Bella cuddled up to me in bed that night, and I was glad that we'd actually be able to spoon tonight, seeing as we were both far too tired to do it last night.
I wrapped my arms around her, stroking her hair and kissing her forehead. She tightened her arms around me, curling into my bare chest.
"I was so happy when the doctor told me the news today," she whispered into my chest.
"You telling me that was the highlight of my day," I said, barely able to keep my eyes open anymore. We were quiet for a bit.
"Good night, Jake," Bella whispered, pulling herself up a bit so that she could kiss my lips.
"Good night, Bells. And good night, baby," I said, leaning down to kiss her stomach and then kissing her lips.
SPOV:
Mom left me to Christine who looked like a prime bitch. And she was. Mrs. Joy left her to it, and by that I mean that Christine opened up the door and walked away, leaving me to fend for myself. It's a good thing that fending for myself was my specialty.
There was one spare seat in my English class. There was a short-haired pixie like girl in the seat next to the spare one, and a boy with messy looking bronze coloured hair was in the seat next to her.
I sat in the seat next to the pixie-like girl. They were both dressed in subtly designer clothes, which made me feel a bit out of place in my skinny jeans and hoodie.
The pixie girl turned her attention to me, smiling brightly.
"Hi, I'm Alice, and this is my brother Edward." The bronze-haired boy gave a small wave. I waved back.
"By the way, he's single," Alice added and I giggled. Edward rolled his eyes at Alice.
"Alice, you know how I feel about dating nowadays," he said, sounding like he'd just come out of a Jane Austin novel.
"I'm Skye, Skye Black," I said. Edward's shoulders tensed a little, then relaxed again.
"Cool. So where did you come from?" Alice asked me.
"A tiny little town called Forks. It's about seven and a half hours away, but my parents were always trying to move out ever since they got married, or so I've been told."
"That's cool, we lived in Forks for a couple of years, didn't we Edward?" Alice said.
"Yeah, but it was a while ago," he replied.
"That's strange, because I've lived there my whole life and I've never seen you," I said, starting to get suspicious.
"They said that they only had a place in the classes because someone was away for a couple of years," Alice said.
"Oh! That would have been the couple of years when we did a big trip around Europe. It was awesome. We went to this creepy place called Volterra, but I have no idea why my mom wanted to go there. But she's a bit insane sometimes."
Alice cocked her head to the side, interested. "What are your parents' names?"
"My dad's name is Jacob and my mom's name is Isabella, but she prefers Bella," I said. I looked over to Edward and his entire body was tense, and he was facing away from me.
"Cool. I'll have to come around some time and meet them," Alice said, practically bouncing up and down in her seat.
"Okay. But seriously, my mom is a bit strange sometimes. She threw a fit just because I was watching Romeo and Juliet one time. It wasn't even the good version. It was some old version."
"Skye, you should sit with us at lunch," Alice said to me. I perked up.
"Okay."
It came around to lunchtime and I sat down at an empty table with Alice and Edward. Alice was looking towards the door and I saw a really muscly guy and a blonde haired guy walk in with a blonde haired girl. They walked to the table and sat down, eyeing me carefully.
"Guys, this is Skye Black. She's just moved here from Forks," Alice introduced me. Immediately, they all became interested in me.
"What school did your parents go to?" the big muscly guy asked me.
"I know that my dad went to a school on the Indian reservation where he lived, and my mom moved to Forks in her junior year and graduated from there."
They all leaned in, interested now.
"What's your mom's name?" the blonde girl asked me. I felt a little bit intimidated by her.
"I-Isabella. But everyone just called her Bella." The entire group looked at each other, and I immediately got suspicious. "What?"
"I think that our parents might have gone to high school with your mom," the blonde girl said again.
"Oh, cool." And that was the end of that conversation. I told them about the 'Stacy's Mom' epidemic, and they all fell about laughing.
The bell rang, signalling the end of lunch break and I picked up my bag, ready to walk to my last class of the day, Biology.
Edward followed me to Biology. It turns out that we have basically every class together.
I sat in the only available seat, which was next to Edward, and opened up my book, ready to start.
Biology went painstakingly slow, because I had already covered the advance course of meiosis and mitosis at Forks, so I shut my book and daydreamed.
Finally, the final bell rang and Alice met me at the door as I walked to the parking lot where dad would be waiting for me.
I walked out with Alice, talking excitedly about my plans for the upcoming weekend.
I saw dad leaning against his bike. I rarely got the chance to ride on his bike, and I cherished every moment.
Dad ran his hand through his hair and his wedding band glinted in the sun. I turned behind me and saw Edward glaring at my dad. What the hell?
"I'll see you tomorrow, Alice," I called out to her as I walked towards dad.
"Skye, over here," he called out as I started walking along.
"Hey dad, you'll never guess what song was on the radio when mom brought me to school. It's an old song, something along the lines of 'Stacy's mom has got it going on'? Know that one?" I asked him, because we all liked to joke about Jessica's fakeness. I grabbed the jacket and put it on, and then put the helmet on over the top. Dad was very safety aware, probably because mom is such a klutz and Grandpa Charlie is a policeman.
"By Stacy do you mean Stacy Stanley? Because that is the most disgusting thing I've heard so far today," dad said with a hint of laughter in his voice.
We got home safely and as soon as I walked in the door I could smell mom's famous spaghetti sauce. I went to go and ask her if she knew any Cullens in high school. But dad stopped me first.
"Skye, for your mothers' sake, don't mention that friend that you were walking out with today, alright? If you want her to cook our meals for the next month, don't mention it. Please. Because I love your mothers' cooking and mine is horrible."
I was confused. Why wouldn't he want me to mention that I made new friends whose parents went to school with her?
"Alright. But why?"
"When you leave Spokane, then you can ask me again," he said, ending the topic.
Mom saw me in the kitchen and her eyes brightened.
"Hey baby, how was your first day of school?"
"Good, I made some new friends and it turns out that I'm smarter than half the school, so I'm doing well. Hey, I've got some homework, so I'd better go up to my room to work on it." I made up an excuse to get up to my room and escape the aura of love that was surrounding my mom and dad. Bleh.
Mom called me down for dinner about five minutes later, and she told us some great news. She's pregnant again. I'm just so happy that I get another sibling other than Kyle.
After dinner, I went back upstairs and logged onto IM. I had five new user requests, all from the Cullens. I accepted them all and plugged in my new web cam and started talking.
About an hour later when I was still on web cam, mom came into my room to ask me something. Since she always takes an interest in what I do on the internet, she came and talked to me while I surfed the net, catching up with some old friends on Facebook. Then we decided to take some web cam pictures and we uploaded them to my Facebook and I sent some of them to Grandpa Charlie and Uncle Sam and Aunty Emily, who would hopefully forward them to Grandpa Billy.
Then dad came in and Kyle intruded as well. Mom and dad started to get a bit too intimate for the web cam so Kyle and I tried to cover it up, but ended up being pushed to the side, while Kyle and I made stupid faces and acted disgusted by them.
When mom and dad left the room, I realised that I had about 10 IM's from Alice, a couple from Emmett, Rosalie and Jasper, and one from Edward.
Alice's were all asking if that was my mom, my dad, my brother. Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper's were pretty much the same as that, but not as demanding. Edward's said ' has signed off'.
I logged off the computer and went to bed.
The next day at lunchtime was the first time that I saw all of the Cullens together again, so I decided to announce my news then.
"Guys, I have some very important news that you might want to tell your mom and dad, since they know my mom."
"Come on, Skye, tell us," Alice bounced up and down in her seat. I held up my hand to stop her and the table fell silent.
"My mom is pregnant," I said with a big smile on my face. They all looked excited for me, except for Edward. He had a sad smile on his face when I looked at him.
"That's great, Skye. Tell her I said congratulations," he said, turning back to his lunch, his hands clenched in fists so tight that his knuckles were white.
The rest of the day breezed by. Mom came to pick me up from school, and the heater in the car was welcoming. I saw mom stiffening when she saw Alice getting into the silver Volvo which was Edward's. I waved to Alice and she smiled brightly and waved back.
"How do you know them?" Mom asked me.
"They're my new friends. Alice and Edward. They have a couple of brothers and a sister. But they're all adopted. But they're heaps nice," I said.
Mom mumbled something like 'Until they suck your blood'. I was confused, but didn't say anything.
I got home and went upstairs to log onto the computer. Alice was on IM, but I didn't open up a chat room until she did.
We didn't really talk much, just some stuff about school. Then Alice asked me if I wanted to stay the night.
"Mom!" I called down the stairs.
"Yeah?"
"Can I please stay at Alice's the night? She really wants me to," I yelled back to her.
"Fine. Tell her that you'll be there soon. I'll just pick up some burgers for dinner. Will Alice's parents be feeding you?" she asked me. I typed that in to Alice and waited for her reply.
"She said she will be. And they'll bring me home tomorrow morning," I said. Thank god that tomorrow was the weekend.
Leave me a review for the holidays so I can start them really happy coz I'll have many reviews! (hopefully).
