There seems to be some people (none that read from this site) that need a little reminder that this is MY story. I will write it as I please. I appreciate ideas that get sent to me, but don't take offense if I don't use the specific idea. Also, I completely ignore feedback that tells me exactly HOW I should be writing my story and demanding that I DON'T write it a certain way. You don't like the way my story is being written, then stop reading! I write for fun. I also wanted to point out that the amount of support I have is out of this world. The amount of people who have my back when I have reviewers determined to change the way I'm writing things. Listen, Renesmee's pregnant! Get over it. And I'm not Stephenie Meyer, so I am not planning on naming the baby something that involves both of Jacob and Renesmee's parents... I already have the name picked out ;)! I'll tell you guys this much: It starts with an N!

Also I wanted to throw a question out there. I do know what the sex of the baby will be, and by asking this question it does not mean it's a girl. You guys can believe that or not ;). So here's the question... I've noticed a few of you have been guessing that Jacob and Renesmee are having a girl and she would fall for Derek. I want to know how others feel about this? Don't go assuming it's a girl! You never know what I have up my sleeve! Those of you who read all my stories should know that by now ;). I don't need an answer where you spend ten paragraphs basically yelling at me for reasons why Derek and their daughter wouldn't be good. A simple, "Na, I don't like the idea." or "It sounds great!" Would do just fine :).

Anyway, that's about it! Enjoy the chapter!


The arms that wrapped around me made all my worries disappear. Jacob's lips touched my neck softly, his breath swept across the side of my face. I smiled to myself as his hand moved slowly down my side and wrapped around my stomach. I moved my hand to lay it over his.

"I didn't mean to wake you." He whispered into the darkness.

"You didn't," I answered. "I've been waiting for you."

"Sorry," he muttered, tightening his hold on me. "I wanted to talk to Carlisle… then Bella got me as soon as I walked through the front door."

I rolled over to I was facing him. The moonlight from my window reflected off his face. There was nothing but worry and panic in his eyes. "What did she say to you?" I gasped, reaching up to touch the worry line on his forehead.

He shook his head. "It's not Bella that got to me. What are we going to do?" His voice was barely a whisper.

"We're going to have a baby." I couldn't help but sound excited.

"Nessie…" he trailed off not able to finish his sentence.

"My mom was fine, wasn't she?" I demanded, starring him in the eyes.

"No." He said flatly. "No she needed to be changed."

"She wanted that anyway. What I'm saying is, she was able to carry me to full term. She was strong enough- a human lasted through a pregnancy with a half vampire baby. I'm stronger than she was, Jake. This baby doesn't have as much vampire in him or her as I did. I can do this. I need you to believe in that."

"I believe you, Renesmee. I really do, but I can worry. I have just about as much of a right to worry as your parents."

I giggled and held him closer. "I can deal with that."

We were quiet for a few minutes. My eyes closed as Jacob's fingers weaved softly through my hair.

"What did my mom say to you?" I mumbled, half asleep.

Jacob sighed deeply. "She was going to freak out, but she saw the look on my face. She realized I was just as scared as everyone else. I had a few questions for her anyway."

I was more alert now and sat up in bed. "What kind of questions?"

"About her pregnancy."

"You were there."

"Yeah, but I didn't pay too much attention to the belly. I was… I was too focused on trying to cope with the fact that I might lose her."

"Okay, so what did you ask her?"

"Nothing really, go to sleep. You need your rest."

Since Jacob was still laying down, I moved so I was leaning over him. I ducked my head and kissed him. His hands gripped my waist and I expected him to pull me into him, but he pushed me away.

"Ness," he shook his head slowly.

"Why?" I couldn't help but feel hurt by the way he pushed me away. I wave of rejection flowed through me.

"You have parent's that don't sleep."

"We're married." I pointed out.

"And you're parents are still your parents, and we're under their roof."

"Hmf," I groaned and rolled away from him, wrapping my blanket tightly around my body. "I want my own house."

"We will, let's just focus on one thing at a time first. Let's see how this baby acts before we go and place ourselves away from the family."

I looked down at my stomach and patted it gently. "You're not going to give us any trouble, are you, little one?"

Jacob's arm wrapped around me, slipping under my shirt to lay his palm flat against my stomach. "We will hope."

"Ness," Jacob whispered softly. I could hear the smile in his voice.

"Hmm?"

"Despite all the terror of what this pregnancy could be, do you know how beautiful this baby will be?"

"I have a pretty good idea." I closed my eyes and pictured a tiny little girl or boy that looked exactly like Jacob; dark brown eyes, black hair, tan skin.

"We're having a baby," Jacob breathed into the darkness. I relaxed my tense body. It was about time it started sinking in. About time he realized we were going to have our own tiny bundle at the end of all this.

The sun was bright in my room when I forced my eyes open. I peered out my window and noticed the sun was too high to be morning. I glanced at my clock and gasped as I jumped to my feet. That was a wrong move. I raced for the bathroom and slammed the door shut.

I heard the bathroom door open quietly, but I didn't look up to see who it was. Cool hands swiped across my forehead and then across the back of my neck. They disappeared for a moment and the water turned on in the sink. I peeked at the figure from the corner of my eye and my mom knelt behind my, holding the glass of water over my shoulder.

"Thanks," I panted, drinking the water.

She didn't speak, her hands moved back to cool my clammy forehead and neck.

When I was finally positive I was done emptying my already empty stomach, I leaned back and my mom's arms encircled me.

"This part sucks, but I promise, once the baby is laying there in your arms. You forget all this." She said softly, cradling me in her arms.

"I wish I could forget it now." I groaned.

"Can you promise me something?" Her voice didn't go above a whisper.

I turned my head to look up at her. "Sure."

"If you're feeling any pain at all, please let one of us know. Trust me I tried as hard as I could to make it look like I was fine when I was pregnant for you. It didn't work."

I nodded and smiled up at her. "Promise."

"How are you feeling now?" She asked, probably testing me.

I thought about it for a moment and my stomach growled. "Hungry."

My mom chuckled and helped me to my feet. She followed me into the kitchen and I sat at the table while she made me some toast.

"Why did you guys let me sleep so late?" I asked, looking around the quiet kitchen. "Wait, where's Dad and Jacob?"

"At your grandparents'. Edward took him over there because they wanted to ask him something." The smile on her face told me something was up.

"What are they planning, now?" I asked as my mom placed the plate in front of me. I looked up at her with a pleading look.

"What?" She asked, furrowing her brows in confusion.

"Just two pieces of toast?"

She rolled her eyes and turned away from me. "Oh, Ness! You can have more if you keep that down."

"I will." I promised. I was starving.

My mom made me four more pieces of toast before I started to feel full. I munched on a granola bar as we walked over to my grandparents' house. "At least your child let's you eat human food." She playfully poked my arm as we walked.

"Sorry," I mumbled with my mouth full.

"I can't believe how awesome this is. Thank you guys so much." I walked into the house just as Jacob was hugging Esme.

"What are you thanking them for?" I asked walking over to sit on the couch beside Derek.

Jacob opened his mouth to speak, but Derek was quicker. "We're giving Jacob a longer leash." He snickered and I punched him in the ribs. He grunted. "What I meant was… oh, forget it." His voice turned sarcastic as he turned to look at Jacob. "Nessie told me, 'If I don't have anything nice to say, then I shouldn't say anything at all.' And being that she's sitting right beside me, I have to listen to her."

Jacob tightened his eyes as he stared blankly at Derek. He shook his head and turned to look at Esme.

"Ness," my grandma said excitedly. "As a tradition, your grandfather and I always buy the newlyweds a house of their own."

I leaned forward, my eyes growing with the excitement I felt inside. I breathed in slowly, preparing for the scream I was going to let loose as soon as the words left her mouth.

Derek leaned away from me. "I think she's going to blow! Take cover!"

I punched him as hard as I could and he hisses from the pain. "Is it even legal for a pregnant woman to hit a man?"

"Derek, it's the other way around." I said through clenched teeth.

"Anyway," my grandma cleared her throat. "As I was saying, we normally purchase a house for the couple…"

"And?" I pressed impatiently.

"We're not going to do that for you and Jacob."

My jaw fell open with a pop. All eyes were on me, but smiles spread across their faces. The only sound coming from the room was Derek's laughter as he pointed to my face.

"That's good news?" I said through clenched teeth. I couldn't help the tears that filled my eyes. Why was Jacob and I different?

"Yes, honey, see Carlisle and I talked to your parents and they suggested we do something a little different.

I shot deathly glares at both my parents. They refused to look at me. They were both looking at Jacob, smiling.

"Instead of buying the house, we bought the property. You have the land across the street from your parents. They thought it would be nice to offer Jacob the chance to give you the house you want."

My angered tears turned to joy as I looked at Jacob. "You're going to build our house?"

He smiled as he nodded. "They already set it up with the company I'm working at," he walked over to me and pulled me off the couch and into his arms. "Anything you want, it's yours."

I reached up on my toes to kiss him, then turned to face my parents. "How did you know he would want to build a house?"

"It's Jacob." My mom chuckled. "I knew he would rather build you a house than have it bought for you."

"Glad you know me so well, Bells." Jacob said behind me.

She winked at him.

I hurried across the room and hugged both my grandparents. "Thank you guys!"

"You're very welcome."

"Can I drive the big trucks?" Derek asked Jacob.

"No way!"

"Why not!"

"You aggravate me too much. I don't want to work with you in one of those machines. You'd probably try to run me over every chance you got."

My dad snorted.

"Damn." Derek bunched his knee.

"Derek!" I yelled.

"I was kidding!" He said quickly and jumped away from me.

"Now that that's all out of the way, I think you need to go talk to someone." My dad pointed towards Alyssa's house with his chin.

"Oh!" I gasped and hurried for the door.

"Should she be running like that?" I heard Derek asking someone.

"Why not?" My mom asked at the same time my dad laughed at him.

"Derek, the baby's fine."

"It's not bouncing around in there while she's running? No wonder the woman's sick."

"Oh, Derek." My mom sighed. I stopped listening as I hurried down the street.
