Chapter Nine

Jacob's Point of View

I can't breathe my eyes strain as Mr. Lowe hands out the babies to everyone. Car seats of the kids sit all around the room. I look over at Bella; her eyes are locked on the list in his hands. A note slides on to my desk. I peal my eyes from Mr. Lowe unfolding the paper.

"If it's a girl I get to name it, if it's a boy you can name it" I look over at Bella her eyes avoid mine. So this is how we're going to settle this, I smirk to myself sliding the note into my pocket so she can't take it back later when it IS a boy.

"Jacob Black and Bella Swan" I stand up and head to the front of the class "Boy" He says handing me a car seat. I take it back to my desk setting it down between us. Bella looks down at our child smiling slightly; her smile makes me smile. He defiantly needed some new clothes I look to Bella smiling but she's not paying attention to me. The bell rings shortly after the babies are handed out and he explains how to care for him.

"Let's take him shopping" Bella suggests smiling, I had just gotten paid and Dad already sent in for my parts for helping out with the house.

"Sure" I say as we leave study hall after getting our slips signed, and run out to the truck with the kid. "How do you buckle these things in?" I ask looking under the seat for the belt through the little holes.

"Let me do it" She pulls me out of the way; I look around at everyone else from class having problems securing their children in their cars. Leah carries hers home as Sam and his buddies take off into the woods. Some of the girls follow Leah with theirs as well. "There all safe and sound" I look back into the cab, the car seat is rear facing right in the middle. I pout I don't even get to sit next to her anymore.

"How did you do that?" I ask dumbfounded, she shakes her head and gets into the driver's side starting the extremely loud engine waking the baby making him cry. I sigh taking him out of the car seat to twist the key in his back. It starts to rain so I get back into the cab, Bella watches me with Jacob Jr.

"He looks so cold" She whispers, I look down at him he's only wearing a stained white shirt that buttons at the bottom. "Close the door" She orders I do as I'm told and we take off for Seattle.

"Bella take it easy" I bark as another bump sends us into the air over our seats. I should have secured the car seat myself. Each bump makes my eyes dart to the kid in the seat, making sure he's ok.

"It's not like I'm trying to do this on purpose" She growls back not taking her eyes from the road. Another bump sends the baby into cries I take him out of the car seat to use the key. "Don't take him from the car seat it's not safe!" She barks.

"Well I have to get him to stop crying somehow" I bark back, her hand reaches over picking the kid up by the arm and placing him back in the seat.

"If it gets too bad ill pull over" She says trying to buckle him back in, I move her hands doing it myself. "Look we're almost there" She says turning on to the highway and then into the parking lot several minutes later. We get out of the truck and into the rain quickly pulling our hoods up; I pull the car seat out flipping the top thingy over to keep the baby kind of dry.

"Jacob give him your sweater" Bella says taking him from me, was she serious. She wanted to me to give him my sweater when the door was just 20 feet away? "Now" She insists I do as I'm told, again pulling it off and placing it over the top of him, leaving his head out. Rain begins to drench my shirt as we rush inside. I take my sweater back slipping it over my soaking torso.

"Let's start with the rain coats" I say heading over to the baby section. It was Baby's R Us, so they had plenty to choose from.

"This one's cute" She says holding up a yellow coat with matching boots.

"Do we really need the boots?" I ask it's not like the doll could walk.

"No but they match and it would be cute; you do want our kid to look cute don't you?" She asks already placing the outfit in the cart moving on the pjs. I sigh moving with her the baby sitting on the front of the cart facing me, his eyes watching me un blinking. I shake my head as another object lands in the car. A pair of blue footie pjs sit there with a little wolf on them and paw prints on the foot part as little rubber grips.

"Bella get the green ones" I say pointing to the ones next to her she sighs putting them in the car. I grab a ten pack of the same white button shirt things, labeled onesies.

"Grab another one of those" She says after she hears the thud of them landing in the car. "What about this?" It's a cute little tux with a small bow tie and matching dress shoes.

"Get it" I say grabbing some toys to hang from his car seat handle. "Get some dress shirts too, for dinners and outings." She grabs blue dress shirts. I grab some diapers.

"No not those ones, I want to get cloth diapers with little safety pins" She says pulling a box of cloth diapers from the shelf. I see her looking at the bath time stuff.

"Bells how are we going to wash an electronic doll?" I ask she sighs and smiles over at me. Then grabs some baby wipes he did look kind of messy. I walk away from her while she looks at shoes; she could be there for a while. I grab some doll baby bottles and a diaper bag that matches most of the stuff we got him already. I stop at the beds on my way back picking up a fifty dollar rocking bassinet with little paw prints on it to match the bag and pjs.

"I got some blankets so you don't have to give up your jacket." She says there is one sitting over the top of the car seat with its tags on top.

"Oh are you new parents? Isn't baby shopping so much fun" A woman says coming over to us with a baby in a pouch on her front.

"Yeah so much fun" I say under my breath earning a harsh glare from Bella.

"I see you two aren't married yet? Better do it soon wouldn't want your kid growing up without married parents. Kind of hard on them" Bella and I exchange a small smile. "Oh and when you put your son or daughter in the car seat be sure to remove the jacket and make sure the harnesses are tight. IF you get in a crash your child could go flying out of the seat and the car."

"Thank you for your advice" I say "But we should be getting back, we live two hours away and the rain is getting pretty bad out there" I say she just smiles and walks away.

"You could have been nicer" Bella growls walking away with the cart and the kid towards the register. I follow behind with the stuff I grabbed, placing it on the counter before going to pay. Bella grabs the kid while I take the cart and we head for the truck in the rain. One of the blankets thrown over the car seat to keep him dry. Bella gets in the driver's seat without saying anything.

"Let me drive" I insist she slides out and into the passenger side, I get into the truck starting it up but you can barely hear the engine over the rain on the cab. I leave the parking lot stopping at KFC to get us some chicken and then head out on to the open road. I avoid the bumps in the road by driving around them earning glares from Bella.

"You're not supposed to drive like that" She says finally after a silence that could kill. The truck makes a weird noise and then dies forcing me to pull over. "See look what you've done now" She says folding her arms over her chest. I pull my hood up and duck into the rain opening the hood jumping back when a cloud of smoke breaks free from its containment. Bella gets out of the truck slamming her door and peaks under the hood. "If you would have just drove like a normal person!" She screams at me, I had no idea such anger could come from someone so small. "Or let me drive I don't understand why you have to be so demanding all the time! You stupid mut…." I don't let her finish that sentence I crash my lips into her kissing her with all my might. She fights back at first trying to push me away so she could yell at me more. Finally she gives in pressing her lips against mine more, electricity flows through her lips into mine making me head spin. She bites against my bottom lip but I don't give in smirking and pulling back instead. A small pout lays on her lips.

"What" I asks, looking at her gently cupping her cheek in my hand.

"I wasn't done yet" She pouts again and laugh leaning into her lips kissing her gently.
