Chapter 10-
Ashley's POV
After I talked to Jesse I stood up and hoped that Noah had made it downstairs before us so that Jesse didn't think I didn't trust him by having my brother stand guard in his room just in case. For a minute there I thought he may have to come help me out when I started saying stupid shit that upset Jesse. Why was I stupid enough to say that Jesse would only be there for me because of the imprint when I knew damn well that he had always loved me, I could feel it even before the imprint but we were both just too chicken shit to say or do anything about it before the imprint. It's like it gave us both the courage to go after what we wanted, it was just an added bonus that it was pretty much guaranteed that we would never split. I knew that Jesse would be there for this baby and I, I was just scared that he would freak at the news. He actually took it surprisingly well for a teen father if you ask me. Being a teen mom and dad was not what we planned to be at 16 years old but maybe we should have thought about that before we chose not to use protection. We could swear up and down that this was an impossible thing to happen but I'm living proof that it can and WILL happen.
"Jesse, baby, it's time to go tell your mom and Dad." I said.
"Wait, have you told Carlisle and Samantha?" he asked.
"I told them right after Noah found out and then Jacob and Embry came in and I had to tell them because they saw how confused everyone was, Dad especially. He had never heard of this ever happening." I said.
"Do..Does anyone else know?" he asked and I nodded.
"Actually yeah, I had to tell my sibs because well Eddie, Jazz and Ali? They would know anyway because of thoughts, emotions and visions, Jake and Embry told Quil and Seth because well they didn't want to let it slip when they phase. They also wanted me to tell you before any of us phase and let it slip. Of course Rosie, Bells and Emmy were in the room when we told Ali, Jazz and Eddie. And of course my cousins, Layla, and Chloe were up in my room when I took the tests." I said.
"WOW! So everyone but my parents are in the loop, this ought to be fun!" he said with a nervous laugh.
"I made sure that Jazz sat by your parents and Jake to one side just in case" I said and he nodded.
"Good Idea…well here goes, the moment of truth." Jesse said leaning over and kissing me before leaning down and kissing my stomach for the tenth time since I had told him about the baby. "Come on baby, let's go meet Grammy and Pa Pa." he whispered before taking my hand.
We headed down the stairs and I was instantly relieved that Noah had made it down with us but I was confused how he had without me hearing anything, Noah was the loudest damn vampire I had ever been around. "Here goes nothing baby" Jesse whispered kissing my hand before we walked into the room.
"Mom, Dad, we need to talk to you." Jesse began and I saw Jasper tense up beside Kim, preparing for the worst.
"What is it, Sweetie?" Kim asked.
"Well, I really don't know how to say this other than to just say it but we're having a baby." he said. Things got eerily quiet as Jared ran his hand through his hair nervously and Kim got a confused look on her face.
"HOW?" Jared finally said breaking the silence.
"What do you mean HOW Jared, you know damn well How" Kim said
"I know HOW my love, I mean HOW when Ashley is still phasing and part Vampire?" Jared asked.
"They thought they could slip through the cracks that's how!" Kim said beginning to show signs of anger "How the HELL could you be so irresponsible Jesse? You are throwing away your future."
"Mom, I love Ashley and I am going to love this baby. Ashley has been my future for as long as I could remember and the imprint just confirmed it. I never expected to become a father so young, no, but I will be the best damn Daddy this baby will ever know!" Jesse said.
"So you are just going to throw away any hope of getting out of here on some girl?" Kim began and I began to get irritated. Jesse surprised me by stepping up to her.
"MOM, You know DAMN WELL that Ashley isn't just some piece of trash off the trash and I would appreciate it if you wouldn't imply that she was. You may not have said it out right but I can read between the lines and when you upset the love of my life then it becomes my problem and you just did. Mom, I know you didn't want this life for me but it is my birth rite and Ashley just so happened to be born to be mine forever and whether you like it or not we ARE keeping this baby and we ARE going to be the best parents we possibly can to him or her. Now I suggest you change your attitude if you want anything to do with your grandchild." Jesse said shooting a look to Jazz that said that he needed to send some calm to his mom.
Once again the room was so quiet that you could've heard a pin drop and yet again it was Jared that broke the ice. "Jesse, Ashley, It may take some time for Kim to actually warm up to the idea of being a grandma when her little boy is the daddy but I am actually HAPPY for you guys. Yes, I wished it would have waited until you were either married or out of high school at least but what's done is done and I know that you BOTH will be wonderful parents." he said "I love you both and I will do anything in the world for both of you so if you need ANYTHING you let me know. When your mom cools off and finally gets over the shock of it all then she will warm up to the idea and be just as proud of being a grandma as I am of being a Pa Pa to be."
"Thanks Dad" Jesse said giving his father a hug before Jared pulled me in for a hug. Kim, who looked ashamed of her outburst got up and walked outside to cool off I guess and the rest of us sat down and chatted about everything that had to be done before the baby arrived.
"I HAVE AN IDEA!" Ali exclaimed startling us all.
"Wow Ali, bust a window next time" Noah said sarcastically and everyone laughed.
"Sorry, I got a little too excited." she said.
"Ya think?" Noah quipped back with a playful rolling of the eyes.
"So do you want to hear my idea or not?" she asked.
"Yes, Ali, what did you have in mind?" I finally asked.
"What if we built you guys a house like right next door?" she asked.
"Well…seeing as we are both minors I don't know how that will work." I said.
"EASY, you live right next door to Mom and Dad" Noah said "Good IDEA Ali, I love it!"
"Actually, baby, it IS a good idea." Jesse said wrapping his arms tighter around me.
"Yeah, but will the 'rents go for it?" I asked with an eyebrow raised.
"I'm for it, and I am sure your Daddy will agree also since you are right next door. Isn't that right Carlisle?" Mom asked Dad and he smiled before nodding his head.
"It's not like you are moving a mile away you will be right next door so, why not?" he said.
"Dad? What about you and Mom?" Jesse asked.
"Not to sure about your Mom yet, I will go ask when the times comes but I am all for it." Jared said before standing up. "Speaking of your Mom, I am going to go check on her."
"OK Dad, tell her I am truly sorry about my outburst but Ashley and this baby are my life now but it doesn't mean that she is no longer a part of it. I still love her as much as any boy can love his mom." Jesse said.
"I'm sure she knows that Jess, she's just in shock over this is all. I will talk some since into her." Jared said placing a hand on his shoulder before walking outside with Kim.
"That went well" I said sarcastically.
"She'll come around, it won't take long for her to realize just how much she will be missing if she doesn't." Jesse replied before kissing me on the forehead. We took a seat on the couch from where Jared and Kim had recently vacated and Jesse pulled me into his lap and whispered in my ear. "I'm going to marry you one day, you know that right?" he said and I nodded.
"Don't rush it baby, people have kids all the time without being married." I whispered back and he nodded.
"I wish I could've done it right, ya know but I do not regret it one bit." he said kissing me "But I AM going to marry you. And we ARE going to be a family. And who knows maybe we can give this little one a little brother or sister one day" he added placing a hand on my still flat stomach.
"Oh My GOD I have so much to plan" Ali piped up out of nowhere. "We only have like 8 months to go! Boys, ya'll better be ready to word hard so we can get this house up and decorated before that little one comes."
"Yes, Ma'am" Jazz said and we all laughed.
"Do you have any ideas as to what you want it to look like?" Ali asked us.
"I could live in a cardboard box as long as my little miracle and Ashley are there it's all I need." Jesse said with a laugh and Alice shot him a look causing him to laugh harder. "Chill, Ali, I was just kidding don't get your panties in a twist" he quipped and everyone laughed.
"Ali, I will draw you up what I want it to look like and get it to you ok?" I said and she nodded.
"Good Good! GOD I have to get a baby shower together, buy furniture for the house and the nursery there AS WELL AS here, So much to do so much to do. I need to go shopping." Alice said rushing around like a chicken with her head cut off.
"ALI!" I yelled and Jasper held up a hand to stop me.
"Ash, darlin'? I wouldn't she's on a mission now and there's no stopping her now." he said with a laugh.
"But the house hasn't even been drawn up yet, where's she going to put all that stuff?" Jesse asked.
"Probably in the HUGE storage bin she has in Port Angeles." I said.
"That'd be the one" Jasper said with a laugh.
"Ashley, sweetie, you really need to find an obstetrician." Dad said "I can only do so much with you being my daughter and the laws prohibiting conflicts of interest and all."
"It's ok, Dad. I can see if Emily can do it, she's a midwife. That way when this little one comes you can be here too." I said.
"Yeah, I almost forgot about Emily. I know she will do it" Jesse said. "WAIT, Do the boys know?"
"Well…um we haven't exactly gotten that far." I said with a laugh. "And Anna was over with Yolanda so that crowd doesn't know either."
"Well call them over then, time to spill the beans, I guess." he said pulling out his cell phone and calling Nathan and Levi.
"Baby, before you get off with them ask them if I can talk to Emily please." I said dialing Anna's number.
"Sure thing." he said as he proceeded to talk to Nathan and Levi about coming to my house. On the third ring Anna picked up all out of breath. GROSS! I had no problem with my best friend being a lesbian and all but I seriously didn't want to hear her and Yolanda getting it on and all.
"Hello?" she said.
"Girl, you better not be in the middle of a session with your girl toy while you are on the phone with me!" I said and I heard her giggle.
"Sorry, Ash. What's up?" she asked.
"Well some shit's come up so you, Yolanda, Manuel and Maria get over here ok?" I said.
"OOOK? Is everything all right Ash?" she asked.
"Yeah, everything's fine but I need to tell you some shit that ya'll and the Uley's weren't here for." I said.
"All right All right, we're on our way. Love ya girlie." she said.
"Love ya too chick." I said and we hung up. Right after I hung up Jesse walked over and handed me the phone.
"Hey Emily." I said.
"Hi, Ashley. Jesse just told me the news Congratulations. What can I help you with sweetie?" she asked sweetly. Emily was positively the SWEETEST woman I had ever met.
"I was wondering if you would like to be my midwife." I said.
"I would LOVE to, Ashley. Thank you for asking me." she said excitedly.
"When dad mentioned I needed a doctor you were the first person that popped into my head having delivered all of the La Push Babies and all." I said.
"Again, thank you Ashley it's an honor. Will your father be assisting in the birth?" she asked.
"He would like to be there if that's ok with you." I said.
"That would be GREAT, it will be an even GREATER honor seeing as he is the best doctor in the state and he delivered both of my boys." she said.
"Well your boys just got here so I guess I need to go let them in the loop. Thank you so much Emily." I said and we hung up. In case you haven't noticed none of my friends' parents had us call them Mr. or Mrs. Because they said it made them feel old so they had us all call them by their first name. As a matter of fact the only people who called Mom and Dad, "Mom and Dad" were Noah and I because we are biologically theirs. Yes, Dad's venom is running through the veins of Eddie, Rosie and Em but he "adopted" Jazz and Ali when they found him. I told the rest of the crew when they got there and they were all both shocked and excited all at the same time. I was glad to finally get it out in the open, now we could start planning for our little one to arrive.
