Alice went crazy in the following days. She ordered in everything imaginable. She ordered three cribs, one for the main house, one for my parent's cottage and one for mine and Jacob's home. Esme through herself into designing the three bedrooms my baby would have. Every waking hour was spent with me choosing colour schemes and baby grows. I wasn't complaining though. I remembered how much love was doted on me as a child, and how much was still lavished on me today. I knew that this baby would only get more of that love, because I would love it too. Everyone knew I was expecting now, except from the Quileutes. Emily had gone into labour with her twins and everyone was waiting around for news. I didn't want to steal her thunder, so we both decided to tell everyone after her babies were delivered safely. However, we felt that Billy should know if no one else did, after all this was his grandchild too. So we decided to go tell Billy.
We jumped into Jacob's Lamborghini. It was way too conspicuous to drive around in, I felt, but Jacob couldn't part with it. We drove steadily down to La Push, rehearsing what we were going to say. Billy was well aware we were on our way, and from the way Jacob's voice sounded on the phone he would probably guess that something was going on. We decided to just come flat out with it. The drive seemed longer than normal, it made me more anxious. I hoped that Billy would be happy. In fact I was certain that he would be. As we got closer and closer to La Push, Jacob seemed to get tenser. He pulled up outside of the small red house. We got out of the car and began walking to the door. I grabbed Jacob's hand and smiled. Billy was waiting by the door. He greeted us and rolled himself in. "Your chair could do with a good clean, dad. I'll do it while I'm here." Jacob made small talk. We got into the tiny living room and sat on the couch. Billy sat across from us. "What is it, kids? Has there been another problem with the bloodsuckers?" How far off base Billy was. I'm surprised he didn't see this coming. "Nothing like that, Billy, don't worry. We just came to tell you some good news. I'm pregnant!" His face changed from worry to sheer delight. I walked over to him and hugged him. We explained everything that Carlisle had said about how fast my pregnancy was progressing. Jacob cleaned his father's chair, whilst I asked about how Emily was doing. "Well, she's been in labour for a long time now. The doctor said that she should deliver in a few more hours. Sam's been so worried. It was only a quick labour with Sara, so he thinks something must be wrong, I don't think it is. Jacob's mother was in labour for almost 2 days! It's because he has a big head, I always say!" He looked over at his son and winked. Jacob finished cleaning the wheel chair and lifted his father back into it, all the while making comments that he inherited his head size from Billy. Their heads looked normal to me.
We left Billy's and made our way to see Emily. She was at the hospital where my grandfather still worked. I knew we were going to have to move soon, he looked no where near the age he was claiming now. I suppressed a sigh. I didn't want to leave, but knew we really should. When we arrived most of Jacob's pack was there. "Has she had them?" Jacob asked. Embry smiled and told him about how adorable the two little boys were. "They can't be Sam's then!" Jacob joked. We stood in the corridor for awhile, until Sam invited us in to see his new sons. Emily looked exhausted. I wasn't looking forward to this part of my pregnancy at all. "You were right, Em. Two baby boys, just like you said. What've you called them?" I asked, taking one from Sam. The baby yawned in my arms and opened his big brown eyes. The strangest of feelings ran through me. I wanted my baby to be in my arms now too. "The one you're holding is Zach," she said handing here other son to Jacob, "And this one here is Nathan." Jacob looked at the little russet baby, Nathan, and then looked at me. His face mirroring mine. "They're lovely. So tiny!" I commented, swaying little Zach gently. We were all silently admiring the two new additions to the Quileute tribe, when I suddenly felt ill. I handed Zach to Sam, and ran out of the room. The corridor full of my friends was a blur as I ran for the rest room. "What's up with Nessie?" I heard Seth say. I opened the door to the bathroom and found a vacant stall. I began to be very ill. Urgh. Morning sickness. I heard the door swing open, but I couldn't turn my head to see who it was. I felt Jacob's warm hand twist gently around my hair and rub my back. "Jake, you can't…." I threw up again. "…come in here. It's the ladies!" He ignored me and continued to rub my back. I finally stopped and exhaustedly slumped down facing him. My mouth tasted disgusting. He got up and left the room, returning with a bottle of water. He handed it to me and I chugged it down. "Better?" He asked reaching out for me. I nodded and grabbed his extended hand. He pulled me up and wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me alongside him. "I'm guessing everyone knows I'm pregnant then?" I glanced up at his face. He kissed my forehead and grimaced a little. "They all kinda guessed. I didn't have time to tell them the mechanics of it, I wanted to see if you were okay." We turned the corner to see everyone looking at me, wide eyed. I shyly smiled and ducked my head a little, letting my copper hair cover my eyes. "You okay Nessie? Congrats by the way, guys!" Embry said, wrapping his arm around my shoulder and rubbing my free shoulder. "Thanks, Embry. I'm okay. First time that happened," I was more than just a little embarrassed now. Embry went and sat down next to Quil, both of them smiled at Jacob. I was still holding Jacob's hand, so I showed him us going home and sitting on the sofa watching TV. He kissed me cheek and told everyone we were going. He poked his head around the hospital room's door and told Sam and Emily, too. Everyone hugged us, and we made our way to the car.
I got inside and put my seat belt on. Jacob slid beside me and stroked my hair. "That part of being pregnant is not fun at all. I think the men should carry the babies!" I sulked. He laughed and put his seat belt on too. "You got me quite worried there," he admitted "I didn't know when you'd start getting morning sickness. Its not even morning, can I just say. Another wives tale for you!" He drove slower than normal home. I could see him shooting glances at me, from the corner of my eye. I patted my stomach gently. "17 more weeks" I said to the baby. Jacob took one hand off the steering wheel and put it to where I'd patted. "What do you think it will be like, Nessie? Us being parents I mean…" I couldn't explain this to him. I'd thought about it lots since finding out I was pregnant. I placed my hand on top of his and showed him. I showed him the image of us walking hand-in-hand along first beach with my stomach rounded, it was the same image I showed my mother. Then I showed him us holding a bundle, I was all sweaty and tired looking, just like Emily was today. Then I showed him us reading a bedtime story to our child when it was a little bit older. I lifted his hand and held it in two of mine. He smiled at me, as we imagined what our future together would hold.
