Jacob's POV
As I leave the hospital to go run my errands, I think about the kiss. Ginny's lips were soft and sweet, and even though it has been hours, her lips still tasted faintly of her favourite cherry and chocolate lip balm. She is so amazing in so many ways. She is so strong, and smart, and kind, and perfect. She might not always see it, but she is. I hate the way she thinks of herself sometimes. It upsets me when she does that, or thinks it, because she is anything but.
I do my errands faster than I thought. But that is a good thing. I go back to the hospital after dropping the groceries off at the house because I don't want them sitting in the car for who knows how long. I go in and find my way to Ginny's room. She isn't in the bed. I sit and wait. Eventually she comes out of the bathroom. She looks pale.
"Are you ok?"
"I don't know, I just puked."
"Don't worry, it is a common side effect from surgery." I say. I think back to when I was a kid. I'd had my tonsils removed. It hurt so bad to puke, but I couldn't not. I shudder remembering that.
"It hurt so bad to bend over the toilet." She complains.
"I bet."
"What time is it?" She asks. I check my phone.
"A little after six." I say.
"Holy shit!" She says.
"What?" I ask, suddenly on edge.
"I just was in there for a long time, way longer than I thought. At least I had my tooth brush afterwards." She explains. There is an awkward silence. I take charge. I lean in and gently kiss her on the lips. She must have her lip balm with her because her lips taste like her lip balm just like earlier only the taste is a bit stronger, for obvious reasons.
Three weeks later Ginny has pretty much completely recovered. Only she still isn't back to a few activities and won't be until she has the baby. Carlisle for the last three weeks has done all her check ups because she is still his patient from the surgery, she has taken a liking to him though. She has him do all her baby check ups. I understand why though. She was raped, she has a hard time trusting people. Carlisle is a good doctor and he knows what happened to Ginny, he is also willing to do all her appointments, and he doesn't charge her. So why not. I go with her to her appointments, all of which are at the Cullen's house and are more like drop ins. I like going because I get to hear everything she is and is not supposed to be doing. She is six months pregnant by now. It is nearing Christmas. She has felt the baby move, sometimes it makes her happy other times it upsets her. I don't blame her. She decided not to know the gender, she rarely ever looks at the monitor during ultrasounds. I think she only goes for appointments so that she knows everything is good with the baby and she will still be able to give it up for adoption. She hasn't decided what she wants to do, or if she has decided she hasn't told me. But no matter what she chooses I will be there to support her. It is a saturday. Ginny and I are on our way the the Cullen's house. We pull up to the house. Carlisle knew we were coming, we always make sure he does. I help Ginny out of the car, because unsurprisingly Ginny is much bigger than most women at this point in pregnancy. It is because she has such a small frame. I also help her because it is winter, there isn't much snow but it is icy, and the Cullens don't always have salt on their drive because they don't need it. Once we are safely in the house Ginny takes off her coat. I put it away and she makes her way up to Carlisle's study.
Ginny's POV
I appreciate Jacob helping me, and being so understanding and patient with me. I love him so much. I get into Carlisle's study and he is all ready, waiting patiently for me. I love how much Jacob and the Cullen's care about me. I am so thankful for them.
After the ultrasound is finished, I wipe the goo off my stomach.
"The baby is doing good. Healthy. But there is something I need to talk to you about." Carlisle says.
"What is it?" I ask.
"Not to push you, Ginny, but you need to make a decision. If you are going to put it up for adoption you still need time to pick a family."
"I know. I have started doing some research on adoption agencies in Seattle. I still don't have an answer as to what I want do yet. I will make a choice soon though." I say.
It is the truth. I keep thinking about my options. Every time I feel the baby move I am reminded, sometimes it makes me happy because I am thankful for meeting Jacob and everyone, but other times it makes me sad because I know that I can't keep the baby, and I will have to move on. But then I think do I have to give it up and then I end up crying alone in my room.
I love Jacob and everyone and I wish I could stay forever but every day I am here, I am away from my family and my other friends. I haven't spoken to them in so long. Do they miss me? Are they looking for me? Are they sad? How are they? Are they ok without me? I think. I haven't spoken to mum since the day I left. I haven't spoken with Luna since the day I was raped. And I often think about how I was so sure in giving the baby up for adoption, but that is hard to do when you can feel it growing inside you. It would be like writing a book or play then giving it to someone and having them publish it, with their name on it.
Rosalie then comes into the room.
"Ginny! I didn't know you were here. I was just looking for Carlisle." She says she comes over and gives me a hug. "You should stay for a while." She says.
"Why not, Jacob you don't mind do you?"
"Of course not. I'm gonna go though. I have things to do regarding the pack." He says.
"Ok. I will see you later." I say. He kisses me on the cheek and leaves. Me and Rosalie go down stairs.
"You know, you and Jacob were made for each other."
"I love him. I really do. He is everything I ever wanted. He is so caring and loving and patient. He is too good." I say. "Which is why it is gonna kill me when I move back home." I say realizing I have to go home eventually.
I have been in my own little world, but eventually I have to return to earth, return home. I look over at Rosalie, she gets a kind of sad look on her face.
"Do you really have to leave?"
"My family is all back in England. My life. I will put it like this. I am hoping it works out so that it is like I pressed the pause button and when I return home I can hit play and pick up where I left off." I say. "But I realize now that, that can't happen. Rosalie," I say but I start crying. She hugs me tightly. I pull myself together. "I just, I still haven't even chosen what i'm gonna do about the baby. I mean originally I was gonna give it up for adoption but, there are things pulling me to other options and even if I do go with adoption there are so many more choices to make." I trail off.
"I think I have a solution." Rosalie says.
"What?" I ask.
"I want nothing more than to have a child. You want nothing more than an easy decision and the best possible upbringing for your child. Right?"
"Yes." I answer.
"Me and Emmett could adopt the baby." She says.
"Would you really?" I ask. They are so perfect.
"Well I would have to talk with Emmett about it but,"
"Talk with me about what?" Emmett says entering the house from the balcony.
"Um, Emmett. As you know i have wanted nothing more than," He cuts her off
"A child, of our own, yes. What about that?"
"We could adopt, I already found someone willing to give us their child."
"Who?" He asks.
"Ginny." She says.
"Whatever you want. If it makes you happy, then it makes me happy." He says.
"Really?!" Rosalie asks.
"If it makes you happy." He says, he walks over but it is useless. In a flash of movement Rosalie gets up and charges for him, she crashes into him, they fall to the floor because of the force that she caused. She kisses him. Tears of joy run down her cheeks. I decide to go tell Carlisle, what happened and why he might have to replace a few of the tiles in his kitchen. I meet him on the stairs.
"What on earth is happening down there?" He asks me.
"I made a decision, I even have a family." I say. He stares puzzled. "You know the family. It is a big family but two of the children," I make quotation marks around children with my fingers "will be adopting the baby. The couple loves each other, and they have been together a long time," Concern grows on Carlisle's face probably think some older couple. "They are certainly young and in perfect health. The mother just loves children, but can't have any of her own. If most people knew what they were they would never let them adopt, but I know that they will take good care of him or her." I say. Carlisle finally puts two and two together.
"Rosalie and Emmett?" He asks for confirmation.
"Yes." I say. "Rosalie is beyond ecstatic. Speaking of which, you may need to replace a few tiles in the kitchen." I say. Me and Carlisle go down stairs. Rosalie is on her laptop, I look, she is already looking at baby furniture. It makes me happy that I know my son or daughter will have such good parents. And I will be able to see them if and when I wanted. It is a perfect situation.
When the others arrive home they are all very happy for Rosalie. My phone rings well I am in the kitchen with Esme.
"Hey, you want me to come get you?" Jacob asks.
"Um, I don't know, have you already eaten?" I ask. If he hasn't he will need to find his own supper tonight because Esme is feeding me.
"You know what?" Esme says. "Just tell him to come over. There will be enough food and you and I both know that he could never turn down extra food." She says. I smile, she reminds me of mum.
"You know what just come over. Esme is cooking and then we can go home." I say.
"Esme's cooking?" He asks.
"Yes."
"I will be there in like ten minutes." He says. It concerns me a little, but I am not overly worried.
"He will be here soon." I say to Esme. Ness then comes into the room.
"I just got off the phone with Jacob. He will be here in ten." I say to Ness.
"How long should it take him."
"Definitely more than ten." I say. Ness just shakes her head.
Ness, Jacob, and I have a nice meal. Me and Jacob then leave to make our way home. The roads are getting bad. Me and Jacob get out to the car. The cold early December wind whips my hair around. I almost wipe out getting into the car.
"I definitely need to get the winter tires on the car." Jacob says when we are both safely in the car. Most of the drive isn't too bad until we end up on a one lane each way road that is very close to the border of the reserve. We are thankful there isn't much traffic and we are able to drive in the middle of the road. All the sudden my phone starts ringing. I fish it out of my pocket and look at who it is. Alice. I answer.
"Ginny how close to home are you?" She asks panic in her voice.
"Like two minutes from the reserve borders so like ten-ish minutes, why?" I ask.
"So right now you're on that steep narrow road way?"
"Yes. Would you please tell me what is happening?" I ask.
"I don't know exactly. Just please be careful." She says I go to answer her but all the sudden a wolf, undoubtedly one of the pack, jumps out into the road. Jacob swerves trying to avoid hitting it. He tries to get on the road again but we hit a patch of black ice because we didn't see a glare or anything. All the sudden the car is completely off the road and we are rolling down into a ditch. The car moves quickly as the cliff is steep and it is probably an 85 degree angle. I head is thrown around. I try to pull my body into a ball but before I can my head thrown into my window and everything goes black.
A/N Cliff hanger! (Pun intended). Sorry I haven't updated in so long. Life just gets in the way, you know. But I finally had the time, so here it is. You guys better appreciate this. I have been up all night (It is currently 5:02am Where I am). Also, i need your help. What should the baby be named? I need both girl and boy names. Whichever one is requested the most will be used, if there is a tie I will pick my favourite. So review with what you thought and a possible name for the baby. Thnx.
