Go listen to that while reading this. It fits with most of this chapter, except for the last part.
Suspense! DUN DUN DUN!
Anyways, REVIEW AND ENJOY :)
Nessie POV
My parents were slowly but surely accepting the fact that I wanted this baby. I knew they wanted me to be happy. I was starting to feel a little more comfortable.
It was our third day here, and we decided that we would surprise everyone down at La Push with the news. I had butterflies in my stomach, and it wasn't from the baby.
I put on a bright blue sundress and a pair of sandals that I had recently bought with Ellen while shopping for clothes to fit my new baby body. I walked into the bathroom where I found Jacob wrapped in a towel, shaving. I eyed him in the mirror, and saw him staring back at me. I leaned against the door, watching him in the mirror. I stayed like that for about ten minutes until he finished, coming towards me with a grin on his face. He wrapped his arms around me and whispered into my ear.
"You look beautiful, as always."
I giggled, cupping his face in my hands and bringing my lips to his. It was tender and sweet, and I couldn't pull myself away.
Jacob finally let go, chuckling.
"Babe, we're not at home." He laughed. "Let's save that behavior for when we're not around your parents."
I giggled once again, and left Jacob to get dressed. The butterflies came back. I wondered what Billy would say when we told him the news.
***
We drove off in my Porsche to La Push. I looked out the tinted windows, watching the trees. Jacob noticed how quiet I was, and I could see him look over at me from the corner of my eye.
"What's on your mind, love?" He asked, taking my hand and wrapping his fingers around mine.
I sighed. "I'm just nervous…mostly about how Billy's going to react."
He squeezed my hand, giving me my favorite smile.
"I'm sure he'll be happy. He was thrilled when Rebecca and her husband announced they were having twin boys."
That was over three years ago. I met Rebecca right after she had them. She was very friendly and sweet, and she had a lovely personality. Her sons were blessed to have a mother like her.
Before I knew it, we were there. Jacob looked over at me.
"You ready?"
I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath.
"Okay…let's go."
Jacob and I walked up to the door. Before Jake could knock the door opened, and there was Claire. Her face lit up.
"Nessie! It's you! I haven't seen you in forever!"
I laughed, giving her a hug. Everyone looked over to see us. There were tons of people at Billy's house.
Sam, Quil, Embry, and Jared sat at the table with Billy, while Emily was in the kitchen with Kim cooking. Claire was hanging out with Alex, Jared and Kim's son.
Emily and Kim dashed over as soon as they saw me, giving me hugs. We started crying tears of joy, because we hadn't seen each other in months.
We all gave each other hugs and had our small reunion. After we sat down and talked about our struggles and our life in Canada, we were ready to give them the news.
I looked up at Jacob. He nodded, and we prepared for our friends' reactions.
"What's wrong?" Embry asked when he noticed the anxious look on my face.
"Nothing. Nothing's wrong. We actually have some good news for you guys." Jake said.
Jake looked over at me, grinning.
"Would you like to tell them, Ness?"
I looked at everyone, took a deep breath, and took Jacob's hand in mine.
"I'm pregnant."
Everyone congratulated us, giving me more hugs and filling the atmosphere with joy and laughter. Kim came over and gave me advice on baby necessities and ways to be prepared. I started to feel overwhelmed, but Kim told me everything was going to be alright.
I looked over at Billy, who was all smiles.
I came over and took a chair next to him. He took my hands into his, taking a deep breath, then looking up at me.
"I want you to know how proud I am of you and Jacob. You're going to make a great mother. I can't wait to see my new grandchild."
I felt the tears come to my eyes. I felt so happy, nothing could take away the feelings that I felt at that moment.
"Thank you, Billy. Jacob's going to be a great dad." I said, looking up at Jacob who beamed at me. "I promise, as soon as the baby is born, we will come down to visit again."
"Do you know what the gender is?"
"No, not yet, but I will tell you as soon we find out. I'm only two months along."
"I wish you the best, Renesmee." He looked down at my left hand and saw the diamond ring.
"You're mother would be so proud of you, Jacob." He looked over at him, a big smile on his face. I could see a tear go down his cheek.
Jacob gave Billy a hug, thanking him for being the best dad he could ever have. It was a special family moment, one of those moments that you would look back on in the years to come.
After a big dinner with all of our friends and family, I had one last request for Jacob.
"Jake?" I asked sweetly. "Can we go take a walk on the beach?"
He smiled, brushing my bronze curls behind my ear.
"Of course." He said, giving me a short kiss.
We spent the rest of the evening on the beach. We walked on the shore, letting the waves run over our feet, wrapped in each other's arms like all of the other times we had ever been down here together.
I missed this place. It was mine and Jacob's special place, and it always would be.
***
I woke up the next morning to the smell of food and quickly got dressed, leaving Jacob to sleep. I walked into the kitchen to find bacon, eggs, and French toast. I breathed in the scent, my mouth watering.
Esme already had a plate ready for me loaded with food. I sat down and happily ate, practically stuffing the food down my throat. Emmett ran into the room then with his super speed, a wrench and a rag in hand, most likely working on his jeep.
He started cracking up when he saw me. I became annoyed when he wouldn't stop, and soon my mother and Alice came in to hear what all of the commotion was about.
Alice giggled, running up to me to wrap her arms around my shoulders.
"Emmett, she pregnant. Oh course she's going to have cravings, even if that means her whole plate is overflowing." Esme said sweetly.
"I remember when I was pregnant with you, Renesmee. I always craved eggs." My mother smiled, kissing me on the top of my head.
"I wish I could eat all of that food…" Emmett sighed, eyeballing my food.
"Oh! I hope the baby is a girl, so I can dress her up in cute little dresses and do her hair!" Alice squealed right in my ear, making me flinch.
"Oh joy. I don't care what I have. I'll have a boy or a girl."
"I'll bet ten bucks that it's a boy." Emmett said confidently.
"You're on. I bet ten bucks it's a girl." Jasper said entering the room and punching Emmett on the shoulder.
A crazy Aunt who wants to dress up my child and uncles who place bets on the gender? This kid is gonna be in for a wild ride once he or she meets them.
I thought about this, letting out a low chuckle.
"What's so funny?" Emmett asked.
I looked over at him, finishing my bite.
"Oh, I was just thinking about how crazy my aunts and uncles are. This kid is gonna have to take a breather after meeting you guys." I laughed joyously.
Both Emmett and Jasper laughed. Alice had a stern look on her face.
I finally noticed that my everyone else was gone.
"Where is everyone?" I asked.
"Your father, Carlisle, and Rosalie left to go hunting up in Oregon." Esme replied, cleaning up the kitchen along with Bella.
Jacob came in then, coming up behind me and giving me a kiss on the cheek. He sat down next to me and started filling the empty plate in front of him.
"What do you want to do today, Ness?" Jacob asked, his arm wrapped around my shoulder.
I thought for a minute. "How about until everyone else comes back from hunting, we go down to La Push?"
"Sounds good to me." Jake said, showering me with kisses.
***
We left for La Push once again and drove down to Billy's house. We called everyone over and since it was a pretty nice day out, we had a small barbeque outside.
Sam and Emily came over again, this time with Paul and Rachel. Quil and Claire came over later, along with Embry.
***
As evening came around and a few hours of playing with Claire, she had to go home and the guys had leave for patrol. Jacob jumped at the opportunity to join them. I didn't refuse, actually forcing him to go phase for a little bit. Soon the house was empty and I was left alone with Billy.
I really wanted to go down to the beach, so I asked Billy if he would be okay by himself.
"I don't mind. I'll just be watching the game. Mariners vs. the Red Sox."
I laughed, remembering when Charlie and Billy would spend days together watching baseball.
***
There was no one else on the beach, just me. I walked along the shore like I always did when I saw an opening to the trees and walked in. I slipped my shoes back on and walked through the trees, taking in the lovely forest scent.
Then I heard a branch snap. I stopped right where I was, breathing silently. The cracking of branches came closer, and closer, and closer…
I was afraid to move. My muscles were frozen in place.
A figure came out from behind the shade of trees. It was a man. He looked about nineteen to twenty years old, with hard looking muscles, curly dark hair, and blood red eyes…
He had a huge smile spread across his face.
"I was just hunting when I stopped across an unusual scent. You smell somewhat human in a way, yet again you smell strongly of a vampire."
He said this, coming closer.
"What is your name, lovely?" He was a few feet away from me now.
I still didn't say anything, my mind racing, feeling stupid for putting myself and my child in danger.
He was getting too close, so I backed up.
"What? I'm just asking you a few questions. I'm not going to hurt you." He said, his eyes making every inch of my body go numb.
I backed up into a tree, and I knew that I couldn't outrun a newborn. I closed my eyes, mentally screaming for help.
Before he could take another step, a large russet-brown wolf came to my safety, grabbing the newborn by the arm and ripping it off.
Jacob?!
The newborn snarled, jumping at the Jacob. I screamed, and before I could see anything else my sight faded and I felt my legs fall beneath me.
