Chapter 7: Surprises
EJ's POV
The past few hours have been the best of my life. I found out that I'm going to be a daddy, the Cullens finally found out about us and I made love to my wonderful wife. How much more perfect can it be? I woke up to Elena licking her way from my neck to my ear. I shivered when I felt her breath in my ear and listened to her voice.
"Get up sleepy-head. We have two hyper 4-month-olds to get to. I know you are awake, so don't try to fool me."
"Do I get a kiss if I do as I am told???" I asked with the puppy face she rarely resists. She smiled, came to bed, kissed me and quickly pulled away. "Hey I was enjoying that"
"I was too, but if I let you continue we won't go back and we need to see both the twins and Carlisle."
"Oh right. One last kiss before we go???" she rolled her eyes, kissed me and went to change. After we both changed we went back by my Porsche Cayenne, which Felix made sure was safely delivered.
Pulling in the Cullens' drive-way we saw a smiley Bella and a puppy, which I correctly assumed was EJ running towards us. The others were on the porch watching us, and especially me, playing with the twins.
"Looks like someone had a good time" Rose said hugging Elena. I was stuck with the squirts so they couldn't even shake my hand. Rose giggled and told Ness and Jacob to grab their kids so she could greet her son-in-law. "You are really good to the kids, even though you have no reason to. I'm impressed."
"Thank you Rose. It means a lot coming from you." I replied.
"Come on Rosie, let me greet my boy!!!!!!!" Emmett was practically jumping up and down like Elena had when we finished the tour to our house. Now I know where she gets it from.
"Your boy huh??? Well he is all yours!" Rose said with a grin. Emmett came to me and wrapped me in a bone-crushing hug. His booming laughter filled the air.
"Emmett put me down." He did as I asked and set me on my feet. "I'm not some kind of chick, Emmett. You can't treat me like one."
"Baby, he treats everyone like that." Elena said giggling.
"Well you'd better not grab Elena in a bone-crushing hug from some time, because you'll be in trouble." I said grinning like a fool.
"What is that supposed to mean, son?" Emmett asked me.
"Wait. Did you just call him son???" Elena then asked dumbfounded.
"Yeah, I mean he is married to you so he is my son-in-law. But I can't call him son-in-law now can I? So I cut it to son." Emmett proudly responded.
"Wow, I was afraid to tell you and here you are all welcoming him in the family just a few hours after you met him. Just wow!!!!!!!" Elena exclaimed
"Without your breakdown, I don't think we would've. But upon seeing what he means to you there was no other choice but to try and get to know him. And he really is a great guy and most importantly he loves you. That's all that matters." Rosalie said and Elena, being also affected by the pregnancy hormones, started crying. But this time, these were happy tears. " As for you Jamie, although it will take some time to get used to, you call me and Emmett, mom and dad I guess."
"I'd be honored to." I said and hugged them both.
"Now let's get back to what you said before. Why shouldn't Emmett bring Elena to one of his hugs???"
"Well mom you have already figured it out so why don't you tell us?" I said and she also started jumping up and down. What is it with this family and jumping up and down??? In the meantime Elena had come into my arms nuzzling my neck and looking at her mother in awe. We let Rosalie jump for as long as she wanted and then waited until she told the others.
"Emmett, our baby is having a baby!!!!!!!!!!" Rose shouted so loud it made my ears hurt.
"WHAT????????????" everyone turned to us and Elena sheepishly buried her head to my chest.
"Yeah, Rose is right. Can you please answer this question? How on earth didn't you notice? I mean I realized it the moment I took in her scent." I asked looking at everyone.
"Well we did notice the change, son, but we didn't know she was dating, let alone was married. So we focused on the upcoming threat, Maria. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!" Rose said and hugged as both.
"You are not mad???" Elena seemed surprised.
"Why should we be mad, baby girl??? It's not like you are rushing anything. You have been together for over 200 years." Emmett said taking his turn to hug us.
"Um Carlisle would you mind, checking on my babies???" I asked looking at Carlisle. On the background there was a series of 'aawwwwwwwwwws' by the women.
"Not at all Jamie. Not at all.!!! Let's go up to my study". We followed him upstairs and Elena was seated with me next to her, holding her hand.
"You can come in to see if you'd like" I told Emmett and Rosalie who were about to leave the room.
"No, that is your moment and we wouldn't like to intrude."Rose said closing the door.
"So Elena how far along are you?" Carlisle turned in his doctor-mode.
"I don't know grandpa. I'm definitely more than at least three weeks. And since there is no heartbeat yet, under six months. That's of course if everything goes as in Nessie's case. Other than that I have no idea." Elena answered.
"Let's see how the newest member in your family is. Shall we?" We both nodded and Carlisle placed that thing on her belly.
"Well, it looks like you are right about the time. I assume you haven't been together for at least three weeks right?"Again we both nodded and Carlisle continued. "Then it seems your pregnancy is exactly like Nessie's so far. According to the sonogram you are probably 5 weeks along. Congratulations!!!!!!" We hugged Carlisle and he went out to give us a moment.
"Thank god you are both okay!!!!!!!" I kissed her, then her belly and whispered: "I love you!!!" I wiped that disgusting jell off her belly, helped her up and we went downstairs.
"Now that we know the baby is fine, I would like to make a proposition. I know you all love and care about Elena very much, and considering her decision to come with me in Italy….." there were some gasps by the girls. "…..I would like all of you to come with us, so you could be close to both Elena and the baby. The wolves included. I can assure you that the Volturi won't hurt any of you, not even you Jacob. I'm really sorry for what Jane did to you. So, what do you say???" There was an uncomfortable silence for a few minutes.
"Jamie are you sure that the wolves are welcome in the castle? I mean they don't smell so good to any of you." Ness was the first one to talk.
"Ness, I can change their scents so no one is bothered by that. Don't worry yourself with such unimportant details. What the real question is, is whether you are willing to leave Forks the place where you grew up and have the best of memories. That is what I'm asking."
"I am." Rosalie and Emmett both said.
"Us too" Alice and Jasper were next.
"If wolves are accepted, then so are we" Jacob said. "I do realize that I'll have to forfeit my right of being alpha, but we go where the family goes."
"There is no reason for us to stay if all of you are gone, so yes." Edward gave us a thumbs-up.
"Same goes for us" Last but not least, Carlisle and Esme. By now tears were streaming down Elena's face, seeing how much her family, no, our family loves her.
"I guess we better start packing" Carlisle acknowledged and everyone turned to go.
"Just take what's important to you, the castle is more than well-equipped. The jet will be leaving in 4 hours. Be ready." They all nodded and left.
"So I guess we have to call mom and dad huh???" Elena said wiping away the tears.
"Yeah we do." I pulled out my phone and dialed mom's number putting it on loudspeaker.
"Hello…"
"Hey mom!!!" we both said.
"ELENA, JAMIE!!!!!! How are you my dears? How are the Cullens? Did they take it well?"
"Everyone is fine mom and you won't believe it but Rosalie and Emmett consider me their son!!! How much of a surprise is that???"
"Wow!!!! That's really great!!! So did you like the house Elena?"
"I loved it mom!!! It was very thoughtful of you to use blue as a theme. I loved the bedroom particularly!!!" They both giggled at that.
"I know my children pretty well. What can I say?"
"You sure do mommy!!!!" Elena said.
"Now why don't you tell me what's bothering you? Don't try to deny it. We already agreed that I know you well. So what's the problem?"
"Well I have to go against your orders mom." I told her.
"WHAT!!!!!!!! Why on earth do you HAVE to come back here?" she asked clearly pissed.
"Well I'm not coming alone if that helps."
"What do you mean Jamie?" she started to calm down. Good.
"Well mommy we are all coming. And when I say all I mean the Cullens AND the Blacks." Elena said happily.
"How did you manage to do that?" she asked curious.
"Well I was coming either way so my parents, immediately agreed to come. Then Jasper and Alice. And when we assured Nessie that no one would hurt Jacob or EJ, the rest easily agreed." Elena said once again nuzzling my neck.
"Well that's great news then. I finally get to meet those amazing twins you have told us so much about. I have to go now. I have to tell your father, prepare the bedrooms, stuff the fridge and everything. When does your flight land?"
"Around eight p.m. If you want to send the cars, make sure Jane gets two car seats for the twins please!" I told her.
"Of course honey!!!!!! I will send 7 cars. Do you think that's enough for Alice's things AND you?" we shared a laugh.
"I think it will be, but you never know. Bye mom!!!" We told her.
"Bye babies!!! Tell the others I said hi."
"Will do mom!!!" And we hung up the phone. "Well that went well."
"Yeah it did." She lowered me on the couch and rested her head on my chest. We have a long flight ahead of us.
