Chapter 10

"I prefer the yellow." Jake said, holding up a yellow pyjama set.

I sighed, "Fine, the yellow. But we need to get these," I held up two small pairs of shoes. "They're adorable." I commented.

"They are." He smiled.

"I love doing this." I said, picking up a small dress, and putting it against my bump.

"Me too--" He seemed side-tracked with something.

"Jake?" I asked, I followed his gaze and saw Esme outside the baby store. "Oh my God." I turned back to him, feeling a large smile appear on my face, but Jake didn't look too happy.

"What are they, following us?"

"Jake, you're paranoid, she's probably with Alice, who's second home is the mall." I joked, he chuckled.

"Fine, go see her, I'll pay."

I kissed him, "Thank you." I whispered.

I walked over to her, but she saw me immediately. A smile grew on her face, "Bella, hi." She smiled.

"Hey Esme." My hand stroking my bump, I felt a small kick. "How are you?" I asked.

"Great thanks, and yourself?" She asked. "I can see you're very pregnant now." She chuckled.

"Yeah, I am. Not too long now, thank God." I smiled.

"When are you due?" She asked.

"Next week, the 20th." I told her.

"Aw, that's wonderful." She smiled, she looked behind me, "Are you here alone?"

"No, uh--" Just on cue, Jake appeared at my side.

"She's with me." He said, putting his free hand on my shoulder.

"Oh. Hello, Jacob." Esme said, shuffling uncomfortably. I forgot wolves didn't smell good to vampires. That must mean I didn't smell so good to her either, since I lived with him.

I elbowed him lightly, "Behave." I muttered to him.

"Well since you're here, do you want to come round to ours, just because we haven't seen you in a while." She asked. I felt Jake shift uncomfortably.

"Well uh..." I looked at Jake, "Sure, why not." I smiled.

"Great," She grinned, "Alice kind of saw you coming anyway." She partly whispered. I chuckled.

"Oh, right. So, what time do you want us?" I asked.

"Wait, us?" Jake questioned. "Who says I'm going to the leech's house?"

I turned away from him, ignoring him, "Um... tonight, eight-ish?" She suggested.

"Perfect." I smiled.

"Great, I'll see you tonight then." She said, looking at Jake, then walking away.

We didn't speak much in the car, I was embarrassed by him, I couldn't believe he said that in front of Esme. When we got home, I put the babies things away, and went into the kitchen where Jake was,

"I'm not going round there." He said.

"Why not?"

"Because, I..." He sighed. "I don't want them to hurt you again, and especially in your condition."

"They won't hurt me again, why would they invite us round if they would?"

"How do you know they're... they're bloodsuckers, they're capable of almost anything."

"Those bloodsuckers are my friends." I said through my teeth. "And I want them to be part of both Josh's and the twin's lives."

He slammed his hands on the counter. "No." He growled. "Not. My. Kids."

"I want them to be." I told him.

"Well I don't." He argued back.

I sighed, "Then I won't be." He turned around immediately. "If you're not willing to let the Cullens--"

"Wait... I'm sorry." He sighed, putting his hands on my waist. "If you want me to go with you to their house then I will. Just don't expect me to talk."

I smiled, "I love you." I said.

"You tell me frequantly." He grinned.

It was almost eight. I put on my favorite (and nicest, up to Alice's standards) maternity outfit, and went to get Josh. Jake was already downstairs, waiting in the living room. Josh ran to him,

"Hey, say bye to Mommy." He said.

"He's going with us, Jake." I chuckled.

Jake's smile disappeared. "What?"

"Josh is coming with us to the Cullen's house." I repeated.

"Yeah, I want to meet Uncle Emmett!" Josh exclaimed.

Immediately, at Josh calling Emmett 'Uncle', he got annoyed. "Josh, he isn't your Uncle." Jake said, trying to be calm.

"But... Uncle Seth is." He questioned, his face full of confusion.

I looked at Jake, with a 'dare say anything' look on my face. "I'll explain it later to you, buddy."

"Okay." Josh sighed.

We headed to the house. Why was I nervous? I didn't know why I would be. My hands stroked my stomach, I felt the babies move a bit, which always made me smile. I saw the house approaching, and Josh let out a loud gasp of amazement.

"That's enormous... it's as big as a dinosaur!" I gasped, Jake and I chuckled.

We parked the car up, and headed up to the front door. Josh ran ahead, he was like a little ball of energy. On the way up, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my stomach, I gasped lightly, alarming Jake.

"Bella?"

"It's nothing, see, all better." I said, trying to reassure him.

"Are you sure you want to be here?"

"Yes Jake." I told him.

Josh knocked on the door, then Jake lifted him onto his shoulders. "I'll get it!" I heard a familiar voice sing. Alice. She opened the door, her smile turning into a grin.

"Bella!" She squealed. I chuckled and let her hug me, but she was obstructed by my bump. "Wow..."

"Yeah." I stroked it.

"Uh... come in, everyone's waiting for you."

"Everyone?" I asked. "Including... Edward?"

"Don't worry, he promised he'd behave." She smiled.

We went upstairs, Josh became very shy at this point, as he his behind Jake's leg. Alice skipped up from behind us and up to Jasper. I glanced at Emmett, then to Jacob, trying to guess who would come out with some kind of comment,

"Do wolves actually shower?" Emmett asked, with Rose smacking his arm immediately, making Josh jump.

"Can we not argue today?" She hissed. She saw Josh almost whimpering. She came over and knelt to his size. "Did I scare you, Cutie?" Josh nodded his head quickly. "I'm sorry, come here." She held out her arms. It took Josh a few seconds to pluck up the courage to let Rose lift him up.

"Are you my Aunt Rosalie?" He asked her. She looked at me, I nodded.

"If you want me to be, then yes, I am." She smiled. Josh smiled largly, but he looked at Emmett, who was also grinning.

"Are you Uncle Emmett?" Josh asked.

"I am the one and only." He smiled.

We all sat in the living, with the exception of Emmett, Jasper and Josh, who were playing by us. Jacob stood by his promise, and didn't really speak.

"So, what are you naming the twins?" Alice asked. It was as if she had a permanent grin on her face. "I've been dying to know."

"For the girl, her name's Elena Mary Black."

"And the boy?" She asked.

"Daniel Edward Black." I answered.

"Edward?" Esme asked. I smiled and nodded, "Bella, that is so... so sweet of you."

"Where is he, anyway?" I asked.

"He and Carlisle are hunting, they should be back soon though." She told me.

"Okay." I smiled, "Uh... can I use your bathroom?" I asked.

"Sure." Esme nodded.

I stood up and headed up the stairs. I suddenly felt the sharp pain from earlier, but it was much more painful. I felt it again, and this time it caused me to groan.

I sat on the bath edge, and rubbed my stomach. I stood up slowly, and felt a warm liquid fall down my legs. My waters.

I felt the pain return, I groaned and slid down against the bath. I rubbed my stomach harder, trying to sooth the pain.

I heard footsteps coming up the stairs, I sighed with relief. Rosalie appeared,

"Bella, what happened?" She asked, at my side immediately.

"My water's broke." I told her, "It hurts." I whimpered.

She rubbed my back, "Okay, we'll get you downstairs and to the hospital." She told me.

Jacob POV

I watched Bella head up the stairs. Traitor, she said she wouldn't leave me alone with the bloodsuckers. I turned my head when I heard Josh let out a loud laugh. It annoyed me to see those leeches with my son.

"Do that again, Emmett!" He demanded.

"Come here, monster." Emmett said, swinging him around.

When they stopped, I stood up, and took Josh away. "Get off my son." I growled.

"Daddy!" Josh moaned.

"Go see Alice." I told him. He ran over to Alice immediately.

"He was having fu--"

"I don't want you anywhere near my son, or the twins, you got that bloodsucker?" I snarled.

Rosalie suddenly appeared again,

"Jake, it's Bella, her waters just broke."

Ooft! Review at my amazing cliffhanger?
