Chapter 11
I hung around the body shop for most of the day. I made sure that everything was installed correctly on Nessie's surprise birthday present. I got a text from Nessie letting me know that she wanted the wolf pack to come over the house later to taste the wedding cakes. I called her back right away.
"Hey Jacob," she said sounding out of it.
"Hey Nessie… what's wrong, you sound beat."
"I am… I'm taking a nap soon. We picked up the fabric and dinners already cooked.
"Oh thanks Baby. What did you cook?"
"Baked chicken, rice, and broccoli."
"That sounds good. I'll be leaving the shop in around thirty minutes. Did you pick any flavors yet?"
"No... I was waiting for you."
"Aw… but you turned down cake?"
"Um… I really didn't feel like eating at the time."
"Oh… Ok. I think we're running out of milk and eggs. I'll stop at the store on my way home."
"That's ok… I already got some today."
"Really… oh thanks."
Nessie chuckled.
"What's so funny?" I asked.
"Nothing really. This guy tried to hit on me in the parking lot at the market."
"Were you by yourself?"
I was wondering how she handled herself. She's not use to that kind of attention.
"Yeah... I went after I left my family's house."
"Well what did he say?" I asked lightheartedly.
"He said hey beautiful then asked me if I needed help. When I told him that I was fine… he said damn you sure are."
"Oh."
"He saw that I was engaged and later backed off. At first I thought that he wanted to take your truck. But he was just trying to get my numba."
Nessie started laughing. She sounded so silly trying to sound like she was from New York. I couldn't help but to laugh myself.
"Well I'm pretty sure you handled it well."
"I guess so? I never experienced anyone trying to hit on me before."
Hopefully she didn't freak out. She's not use to that type of attention being by herself. I made a deep sigh. There's so much that my baby has to learn to deal with.
"I'll see you when I get home ok."
"Ok… I'll probably be asleep when you get here. Wake me up so I can eat dinner with you."
"Sure, sure."
"Love you."
"Me, too."
I hung up the phone and hung out at the body shop for a few more minutes. Then I headed back to La Push. I got out of the truck and walked to the door. I could smell dinner from out here and it smelled so good. Dinner smelled even better once I was inside the house. It was so quiet. Nessie must still be asleep. I walked upstairs and smelled a strong scent of flowers. The bedroom door was slightly opened. I slowly opened it and saw her knocked out on the bed. Aw she looked so cute. She also had a bouquet of red roses on the night stand. Hmm... She must have bought them at the market or when she was out with Alice. I walked over to her and bent down to kiss her forehead.
"Hey Honey… I'm home."
"Hey Jake," she said with her voice filled with sleep.
"Oh, who brought you flowers? Was it the guy at the market?" I said playing with her.
"No… I bought them for myself. They smell really pretty."
Nessie sat up and stretched her arms. I sat down on the side of the bed. She made a face and wrinkled her nose.
"Can you take a shower… I mean you don't stink but I smell the oil from the garage on you."
"Oh." Was she still sick? "Do you still feel nauseous?"
"Ah… Just a little. I took some Pepto before I took a nap."
"Did you talk to Carlisle today?"
"No… I thought I would feel better. Uncle Jasper said that he would have him come here tonight after work… but I told him that I would just call him tomorrow."
I was pissed and narrowed my eyes at her. Why is she so damn stubborn? All I asked her to do was see her grandfather to make sure she's ok. And she takes everything so lightly.
"I promise… if I don't feel better by tomorrow I'll see him."
"Ok… well I'll take a shower and put the clothes in the washer."
"Thank youuuu… Love youuu."
I walked out of the room and started undressing. I tossed my clothes in the washing machine and went back upstairs to take a shower. I kinda rushed my shower because I wanted to join Nessie. When I stepped out of the shower I heard her go down stairs then I heard clanking noises like she was in the kitchen. I quickly got dressed in a pair of jeans and took the sheets off the bed since my scent transferred to it and headed downstairs. Nessie was sitting on the sofa watching Transformers 4. I tossed the sheets in the washing machine and started it.
"Smells good. It looks really nice in here. Did you clean?"
"Yeah… only down stairs though. I lost my steam."
"Ah thanks Honey. But why are you doing all this… you don't even feel good?"
"Well… I wanted the house to look nice."
I reached over and pulled her off the sofa into my arms. I kissed her softly on her lips. Why is she doing all of this and she doesn't even feel well.
"I love you," I said softly.
"I love you too."
"But take it easy ok. Call Carlisle. See if you can meet him at the hospital at his office tomorrow or something."
"Ok."
Nessie walked into the kitchen to get the food. She took her plate and started scraping off food back into the Tupperware.
"Do you want to eat in the living room?" she asked.
"Sure."
I went to go get the TV trays and moved them in front of the sofa.
"This movie was awesome," I said.
She placed our plates on the TV tray.
"That's all you're eating? I asked.
"Yeah."
Nessie started moving the food around her plate with her fork not eating it. Man is she really this sick? She still needs some type of protein. "Eat please," she said.
How is she telling me to eat when she hasn't picked up a fork to her mouth yet.
I took a bite of the chicken. It surprised me how good it was.
"Oh my God… this is good."
"Did you expect it to be nasty?"
"No… but I didn't expect it to be this… great. You could have your own restaurant."
"Ehh… You have little faith in my skills. My feelings are hurt."
We finished eating dinner. Nessie took her time. She really looked like she didn't have an appetite. She went to get up and take our plates back in the kitchen. I had to stop her; she needed to rest.
"I'll do that. Sit down and relax."
"Oh… thanks."
I rinsed off all of the dishes and put them in the dishwasher, then put the food up in the fridge. The bag of cake on the counter made me smile. I couldn't wait to taste some of them.
"Do you wanna see a picture of the cake?" Nessie asked.
"Sure."
I walked over to her and she pulled out her cell phone.
"Isn't it pretty?"
"Yeah it's nice."
It was a cute cake. I'm more concerned on how it taste than how it looks. I sat down next to her and she wrapped her arms around me. She didn't look that comfortable so I changed my position so she could lay on me more comfortably. We stayed in that position for around thirty minutes. I was into the movie even though I know it by heart by now. Nessie was pretty quiet. I was wondering if she was even watching the movie. "Are you asleep?" I asked. I bent over so I could see her face. She slowly opened her eyes.
"No… I was just resting my eyes for a minute."
"You were kinda quiet there… and this is your favorite part. I was expecting to hear that laugh that I love."
She looked up at me and I kissed her forehead and caressed her cheek. She moved up to sit on my lap and leaned her head into my neck. She started kissing my neck then gently bit it. I started to moan a little. It felt so good. I grabbed her hair and pulled her head back so I could kiss her neck. I started to move my hand up her thigh. She let out a gasp. Then my cell phone buzzed. Shit who is this? I looked at my phone and it was a text from Quil saying that the pack were on their way to taste the cake. "The pack are on their way here to taste the cake." I put my phone back in my pocket and looked at her apologetically. I knew she wanted to finish what we started. "They're probably running here knowing them," I said. Nessie sprung up and wrapped her legs around me and kissed me passionately. It took me off guard but I returned her kiss with just as much passion thrusting my tongue in her mouth. I started rubbing her back and tugging at her shirt. Nessie started moaning and it was turning me on even more. I guess a few more seconds of this won't hurt? Her hands were all over me and I let out a few moans. I pulled away from her mouth and bit her neck. "Hey… stop making out and let us in," Jared called out from in front of the house. Why did they have to be so close? Then we heard a few of them snickering. It sounded like Collin and Brady. Nessie was completely flustered and started blushing. I smiled at her and she gave me one more kiss. "Come on… really. I would say get room… but you have one. We're hungry," Embry said. Nessie got off of my lap and started to giggle. I stood up and adjusted my dick through my shorts.
"Sorry," she mouthed.
"You're in trouble tonight," I mouthed.
I had to think of dead puppies. Man an entire kennel of them to make my dick go down. I walked over to the door and opened it.
"About time," Jared said.
"Sorry about that guys. But you did come over before I said I was ready for ya."
"Well we're here now… show us the cake," Embry said playfully.
"Heeeyy Nessie," everyone said in unison. Nessie looked a little embarrassed.
"Hey guys, come on in and have a seat at the dining room table."
"Hi Jacob," Sam said. "Sorry about our intrusiveness. Quil told us to get here right away. If I had known… we could have come at a later time."
"Quil," I said as I nodded hello.
"Jacob," Quil said as he returned his nod.
We both started laughing.
"Where's Leah?" Nessie asked.
"She's at my mom's house with Ahote," Seth said. "Only my mom and Ahote are driving down for the meeting. Leah's really sensitive to the smell of smoke. She asked that you save her some cake. She expects us to demolish it all. She'll eat whatever you save; especially now that she's eating for two. She almost eats as much as I now."
"Yeah… I can't wait to hold her little baby," Nessie said smiling.
"So you and Jake thinking about having any kids anytime soon?" Seth asked.
Nessie glanced at me. I was smiling thinking of the possibility.
"Yeah… someday if possible," she said.
"Oh God, we may have a half vampire half werewolf running around here one day," Paul said jokingly.
Nessie went to go get the bag of cake from out of the kitchen.
"Wow that would be something," Collin said to Brady.
Nessie passed out yellow stickies and pens and asked everyone to write down their top four flavors. I went into the kitchen to get some forks for everybody.
"Do you have any milk?" Collin asked.
"Yes… who else wants some?" Nessie called out.
Everyone raised their hands. I helped Nessie pour everyone a glass of milk. We later sat down at the table to join them. Nessie sat down next to Seth, while I sat down at the other end of the table near Quil. I came across four that were so much better than the others. I wrote down the names of them on the stickie. After a few minutes everyone called out their favorite flavors. When Nessie said hers, I felt like I was watching the lotto and every number that I had came up. Every flavor that she mentioned was a flavor that I wrote down on my sticky. Quil looked at my sticky. "Hey look… Jacob and Nessie picked the exact same flavors," Quil said.
"Wow, even Kim and I don't like the same food," Jared said.
"Your taste buds are even in tune with each other," Seth said laughing.
Nessie looked down the table at me. I had a smirk on my face. She made sure that she saved some pieces of cake for Billy and Leah. She wrapped them up and put them in the glass cake dish. After the pack finished eating their cake, Nessie gathered all of the stickies and placed them in a draw in the kitchen.
"Thanks guys for helping us pick our cake flavor," she said.
"Thanks for letting us help," Embry said.
"Well… I figured since you guys will be the ones eating the cake anyway. Why not? The rest of my guest and family won't be eating anything... well except for my grandfather Charlie and my grandmother Rene."
"Hey how is that going to work?" Brady asked. "Are they going to be served blood at the wedding? Ahote knows nothing about the existence of vampires."
"Well, we will have blood in the house that they can drink away from Ahote. Believe me, they will be well fed before any human is around them," Nessie said.
"Ok. I wasn't worried about the Denali clan; just the others. The non-vegetarians," Brady said.
"You have nothing to worry about. You will be totally safe. They know that you are my family. You won't be in any danger," Nessie said reassuringly.
"Yeah Brady… it's kinda hard to wrap your head around it," I said.
Seth helped collect all of glasses from the table and put them in the dishwasher while I wiped the crumbs from the table.
"We should leave now… they are probably there already," I said. Nessie put her hoddie on and grabbed her jacket out of the closet. "It's going to be cold tonight," I said. I bent down and gave her a peck on her lips.
We all headed out to the area where the tribal council was going to be held. I guess it was nippy outside… I wasn't cold, but Nessie may have been. I kept my arm around her shoulder to help her keep warm. Sue, Old Quil, and Ahote were already there sitting on a log. Billy was in his wheel chair in the middle of everyone. The rest of the pack already met Ahote… but this was my first time. Mrs. Clearwater introduced Ahote to me and I shook his hand. Nessie hugged her and told her that she would save her a piece of cake for her and Leah. Billy welcomed all of us and asked us to settle down. We all took a seat on the logs.
Billy went right into it by telling the tribes history relating to the spirit warriors. He went on to tell the stories of the first vampires that ravaged our village and how certain tribe members that had the spirit warrior gene helped protect their tribe from being massacred.
Nessie looked like she was getting colder because she wrapped her arms around her stomach. I held her closer to me and kissed the top of her forehead. I placed one of her tiny hands into mine and we sat and listened to our tribe's history. She looked up at me and she looked like she was about to get sick. She got up and ran at a humans pace a few feet into the trees. I got up and ran after her. Nessie started gagging throwing up her dinner and the cake. I overheard Jared whispering, "I bet ya she's pregnant." After she finished gagging she looked up at me looking helpless. My God… could she be?
