Hey guys! WOW, 81 REVIEWS? I'm stunned! Thanks so much for voting! Your results are in, I hope you're happy with what you've picked! Also, I got a review asking why Bella was having such an early baby shower and how they knew the sex already. To answer the baby shower question, there's really no rule as to when you can have a baby shower, and I felt like it was a good time to have it. And as for the sex of the baby, I looked it up online, and you can find out the sex as early as 12-13 weeks, and Bella was 14 weeks if you looked at what I'd written. Hope that clears everything up! Enjoy chapter 4! :)
I looked at Jacob, and he nodded.
"Well, we decided each kid should have their own set of godparents," I explained. "Jade's godparents are going to be…" I looked around for the couple. "Jared and Kim." Everyone clapped for Jared and Kim, who looked very happy and were hugging.
"Thank you," Kim said. "I feel very honored to be your daughter's godmother."
"Same here!" Jared whooped.
"And what about little Jacob?" Sue asked.
"Oh, well that one was easy," Jacob chuckled. "Sam and Emily." Everyone laughed as Sam came forward and shook Jacob's hand while I hugged Emily.
"Thanks again everyone for all the wonderful gifts. See you soon!" I called as Jacob and I stepped out the door. Everyone called out their goodbyes, and Jacob and I climbed into the Rabbit to head home.
The next day, I woke up to a cold bed and the smell of sausage cooking. I yawned and threw the covers off, walking into the kitchen. I saw Jacob standing at the stove with his back to me, cooking something in a frying pan. I walked up behind him and wrapped my hands around his warm waist.
"Morning sleeping beauty," Jacob whispered, turning his head to kiss me. "Hungry for breakfast?"
"As always these days," I grinned, kissing his shoulder. I sat down at our kitchen table and Jacob placed a plate in front of me before placing a couple sausage links on it, followed by some scrambled eggs and toast. He sat down across from me with his own plate.
"Renee called earlier, she wants to take you out today for some girl time before she leaves," he said as I shoved a forkful of eggs in my mouth.
"Whu fo'?" I asked with my mouthful. Apparently, Jacob understood me.
"She didn't say, just said she wanted to spend time with you."
"Alright," I said swallowing. "I'll call her back after we're done with breakfast."
Twenty minutes later, I was calling Renee's hotel. After asking for her room, they connected me and Renee picked up excitedly.
"Bella? Is that you?"
"Yes, mom, it's me," I chuckled. "Jake said you wanted to spend some time with me today. What did you have in mind?"
"Oh, I just thought we could have a mom-daughter date , like we used to when you were little. Maybe some lunch and a movie? Oh, and maybe we could go to the spa! And do some shopping! How does that sound?"
"Mom," I whined. "You know I hate pampering and shopping."
"I know, sweetie, but I hardly see you anymore. Just this once please? I'll even pay for everything." I sighed and thought it over in my head.
"Alright, what time will you be here?"
"Well, did you just finish breakfast?"
"Yeah, Jake cooked."
"Oh, he's such a nice boy. So good to you! Well, how about I pick you up in an hour and a half? Does that give you enough time to shower and get ready?" I told her it would, and we exchanged goodbyes before I hung up.
"Hey Jake," I called, going into the living room. He was sitting on the couch, watching a football game. He looked up when I entered and muted the TV. "Renee's gonna come pick me up in an hour and half, and we're gonna spend the day together."
"Okay," he said getting up and crossing to me. "What are you guys gonna do?"
"She wants to go to the spa, shop, have lunch, and maybe see a movie," I groaned, rolling my eyes.
"You sure?" he asked, concerned, wrapping his arms around me and hugging me. "I know how much you hate all that stuff – well, besides eating and the movie," he laughed. I lightly smacked his chest.
"Yeah, I'll be fine," I said. "We never see each other anymore, and she said she'd treat me, so how could I say no really?" I gave him a quick hug and kiss. "I'm gonna go shower and get ready, alright?" Jacob nodded, and I trotted off to the bathroom.
Once I was all clean, I changed into some yoga pants and a maternity shirt before grabbing my purse. Just as I walked out into the living room, I heard a horn honk. I peeked out the window, and sure enough, there was Renee in her rental car.
"Alright, Jake, mom's here, so I'll see you later," I said, leaning over him on the couch to kiss him. "I'll call you when I'm on my way home, alright?"
"Alright, have fun," he grinned stretching his neck to kiss me. I waved at him as I stepped out the door, then jogged over to Renee's car and climbed into the passenger seat.
JACOB'S P.O.V.
Once I heard the car back out of the driveway, I bounded to the kitchen and grabbed the telephone, dialing Sam and Emily's house.
"Hello?" It was Emily.
"Hey, Em, she just left," I said quickly.
"Okay! I'll have Sam gather up the boys, and I'll grab the girls, and we'll be over as soon as we can, alright?"
"Okay. She said she'd call me when they were on their way home, so we'll have a fair warning for everyone to get out."
"Alright, that's good! We'll see you soon! Bye!"
"Bye." I hung up and quickly got dressed in my work jeans and shirt. I went out to our garage and grabbed drop cloths, paint cans, brushes, and other work supplies. Everyone was coming over to help decorate the twin's nursery as a surprise for Bella. I carried everything into the room and set it down. All that was in the room right now were the boxes the gifts were in. I sighed and smiled, thinking how soon it would be decorated for my little boy and girl.
There was a knock on the door, and I went to open it. Standing on our very small front steps, somehow, were Sam, Jared, Embry, Quil, Paul, Seth, Emily, Kim, Rachel, Leah, and Sue. I ushered everyone in and we all gathered in the living room.
"Alright, let's get started, we have a very short amount of time to get this done," I said, clapping my hands together. "Emily, Sue, what's the theme of our nursery?" Emily pulled a sketch book out of her bag and flipped a couple pages before turning it to show everyone.
2nd place godparents were Paul and Rachel, and Angela and Eric.
Here's your new question: WHAT SHOULD THE THEME OF THE NURSERY BE?
A) Forest themed
B) Beach themed
C) Mountains themed
D) Pink & Blue themed (I know, cliche, but still!)
If you have any ideas, feel free to tell me them! I will write them down and see if anyone else has ideas similar! Thanks, and happy voting! :)
