Chapter 10: Impossible
Nessie's POV
"They did what?!" I yelled. I had never felt so much anger in my life. No one puts a hand on my son and lived to tell the tale! I was going to kill them in the most painful way that I could think of. No one harms my son. No one. I was going to find out who did it and they would regret the day they were born. I would make sure if it.
"I'm going to kill those people. I swear I am. Where are they?! Who are they?! What do they look like?!"
"Nessie calm down" mom pleaded. "That's not going to solve anything. Besides you're going to wake up your family if you keep shouting"
"I don't care if they hadn't sold him in the first place nothing would've ever happened to him" Sold. That world alone made me furious. Selling my baby like he were an object.
"Nessie please just calm down. Look, why don't I take you back with me for awhile so you can see EJ? Maybe that'll help you calm down"
I took deep breaths to calm myself down and steady my rapidly beating heart. I took more deep breaths until I was sure that I was calm. As calm as I could be anyway.
"Okay mom. Please just take me to him" I begged. I did want to see my son and hold him again. To let him know that he was still loved.
She helped get out of the house without being noticed by my parents. When we were outside she lifted me and carried me the rest of the way.
As soon as we were there my mother put me down and led me straight to my son. I broke down crying when J saw him laying there fast asleep with an IV connected to his arm. One of his arms was in a cast as well as a foot. His small body was covered in bruises.
Looking at him made me feel like I failed as a mother already. Failed to do the one thing I vowed to do the moment I found out he was on the way. To protect him from any and all harm.
"Your grandfather has him medicated so he's not in any pain right now" mom sighed.
I stroked his body slightly and he moved a little. He opened his eyes and stretched his arms toward me. He whimpered a little. I picked him up very carefully and gently. I held him and kissed his forehead.
"Nessie you have to be very careful with him right now" I jumped a little when I heard my grandfather's voice.
"I know. Thank you for taking care of him"
"Always Nessie" he said. "Always. Although you have your mother to thank for finding him and rescuing him in the first place
I hugged my mother and said "Thank you so much mom"
She didn't say anything but she hugged me back.
"Hey where is everyone else?" I asked when I finally realized that we were the only ones here.
"Well they all left to look for a store that sold baby supplies and was open at this time. Alice said that she knew of one" Carlisle answered.
"But I'm still here" Jacob interceded.
I couldn't help but smile at the sight of Jacob. There was just something about him that drew me in. I didn't know what it was. No. I can't. I'm with Joshua and that's that.
"Miss me Nessie?" Jacob grinned.
"Actually yes I did"
"By the way did you really have to have a kid that looked exactly like your father?"
Oh Jacob. I shook my head.
"A. I can't control what genetics I pass on to my babies. B. What's wrong with him looking just like my dad?" I shot back with a raised eyebrow.
EJ giggled and that made me smile.
"Oh nothing" Jacob answered. I playfully punched his arm just like old times.
"Hey your lucky you're holding a baby if not I'd get you right now"
"Oh Jacob" I muttered. "You never did change did you? Still the same guy I knew?"
"Pretty much. Just older that's all" he laughed.
"Okay old man" I smirked.
"Hey!" he yelled in fake annoyance.
Yes he was definitely the same Jacob I knew and loved. He always had a way of making me feel better just with his presence alone. I swore he could sense when I was in distress.
"Can I hold EJ?" Jacob asked.
"Sure. Just be very careful with him"
"I will Nessie. You don't have to worry about that" he said.
I carefully passed my son over to him.
EJ seemed to enjoy the extra warmth that Jacob's body provided. His reaction was priceless.
It was enough to distract me, at least for the moment. No matter what I still wanted to kill the people that dared to hurt my son. Every time I thought of them my blood boiled in anger.
Just then the rest of my family appeared. They had indeed found a place that was open at this time. Evidenced by their bags.
EJ started to cry suddenly and I began to panic.
"What's wrong?!" I yelled.
"I don't know!" Jacob yelled back.
My dad looked at him strangely for a moment. EJ's crying had ceased a little. I didn't understand what was going on.
"This is impossible" dad muttered.
"What is?" I asked in a mixture of confusion and worry.
"No. This can't be possible. It just can't be" dad was clearly in shock about something.
"Well are you ever going to tell us?" this time it was my mom that spoke.
"He can read minds. He can hear people's thoughts just like I can"
Silence.
