Chapter 5
When I got the Marie and Nessa home they were both asleep. I carried them inside and put them both in their cribs. I heard Nessa's cries before I finished eating. I went upstairs and scooped her into my arms. She sniffled and gave me a small smile.
"Hi, mama!" Marie cried, waving her arms for me to pick her up. I scooped her up and carried both girls downstairs. I gave the girls' something to eat. Nessa drank a bottle and ate some strained peas. Marie had a grilled cheese sandwich. Once they were done eating I put them in the car and began driving towards La Push. Once I got there, I found Jacob working on the rabbit. I smile and honked my horn. He jumped, banging his head on the car.
"Hi, Jake," I said as I pulled Nessa and Marie out of their seats. My heart did a bit of a flutter when I saw him but I ignored it.
He looked at me with a look of shock, like he was seeing me for the first time. Like i was one of the seven wonders of the world. Like a person seeing the sun for the first time. He quickly snapped out of it and said, "Oh, hey Bella!"
His face was almost split in half his smile was so big.
He ran over and pulled me into the biggest hug I had ever received.
"Bella? Do you want to take the girls to meet Emily?" he said taking Marie's hand. I nodded and began to follow him.
"How is Nessa today?" he said cooing her. She sneezed and gave a small smile.
"She's good. She slept through most of the night," I said happily.
Marie ran ahead of us, picking up flowers and giving them to me and Jake. Jake kept smiling at me and cooing Nessa. About halfway to Emily's, Maire grew tired so Jake swooped her into the air causing her to squeal in delight. He carried her the rest of the way to Emily's.
Once we walked through the door, Emily greeted up with open arms. Jacob hugged Emilyh and then went with Sam outside to talk about something.
Emily sat on the sofa with Nessa in her lap. Marie sat in the middle of the floor, playing with some of Claire's toys.
Claire came here after school and played with Quil while Emily baby-sat her.
"The boy's patrols have been slowing down since they caught the red-headed vampire," Emily said pouring me a bit of coffee.
I nodded and said, "Yeah, it must have taken a while for those bags under their eyes to disappear," I said as I watched Marie tip over a stack of blocks with her hand.
"Fall down, mama! Fall down!" she squealed as she began to stack them again.
Emily began stroking Nessa's hair. Her hair went just below her ears right now. It was chocolate brown like her sister's. Her hair was already showing signs of curls.
I heard a cheer from outside. I peeked out the window in time to see Sam give Jacob a hug. They both looked thrilled about something.
Sam saw me looking out the window and smiled big before waving.
Emily saw too and said, "those boys".
"What's going on?" I asked in a hushed tone, watching Jacob. For some reason, seeing him so happy, was the highlight of my day.
Sam and Jake walked in not much longer, Jake smiled at me and said, "Well, we should go pick up Susan and Claire".
I smiled and said, "sure, but I have to get Nessa and Marie ready".
"Why don't you let them stay with Emily. They both seem to be content," Sam said nodded at Emily who nodded and said, "Yeah, I love babies. It would be an honor to watch them".
I nodded and followed Jake to his car.
"Bella, there is something I need to tell you," he said in a quiet nervous tone.
"What is it, is there something wrong? It's not Victoria is it?" I said in a panicked tone.
"No, it's not Victoria, the thing is, Bella, I imprinted," he said in a rushed tone. He looked at floor and then back at me.
I felt my heart shatter as I asked the question I feared.
"Who is the lucky girl?" I asked, expecting to hear another girls name.
"Bella, I imprinted on you," he said in a cheerful tone and my heart exploded.
"R-really," I stammered as we pulled into the school parking lot. When we opened the door, Claire and Susan approached the car, both holding hands and smiling.
Okay, since I don't want Bella to get older then Jacob, I am making it so that once a wolf imprints on you, you stop aging, accept Claire who will stop aging later when she's eighteen. I promise to write sooner.
