Chapter Eleven – First Day
[POV Jake]
I had stayed in bed for a totally of twelve days before Carlisle said I was healed properly. For my luck though, it was the first day on the school year and Bella argued with me about my attending classes. I told her I didn't have to go because when the babies were born I was going to drop out to help her out but, her being stubborn Bella –also having the temper of a very pregnant woman- I lost the battle. She made me promise to finish school; I only had a year and a half to finish and she said with the help of our dad's plus Seth, Alice and the rest of the Cullens, everything would be fine.
Seth was staying with us almost every night now, we were so grateful of his help that day with Victoria and the newborns that we couldn't turn him down on anything. He was always staying with Bella when I had to go on patrol or he would run into town to pick up food for Bella when she got her strange cravings; he was such a big help.
I had gotten up earlier than planned, to Bella running out of the room with her hand over her mouth. I followed her to the bathroom and held her hair back as she vomited the remains in her stomach from the night before. That was one thing I couldn't get used to, morning sickness; I almost had me sick the first few times. When she was finished I gave her a cup of water to rinse her mouth then left the room so she could shower in privacy.
She came out of the bathroom in a new pair of jeans that Alice had gotten her and a tight shirt that showed her beautiful baby bump. She was only a little over three months now but she was showing like she was five or more. Carlisle had told us that since the babies were half werewolf that they would develop much faster than human. At this point in her pregnancy Bella had developed a few 'wolf' traits of her own. When she was angry, growls would slip out; also her body temperature rose to a nice 102.6 and stayed, though she was perfectly healthy. In fact, when she would get a paper cut or if she would slice her finger while making dinner, she would heal almost instantly.
Bella decided she wanted to drive me to school because she hadn't been to the High School of the res before, of course I couldn't say no to her. After Seth and I had gotten dressed and eaten the huge breakfast that Billy made for us we piled into her truck and were off. On the way we passed Embry, Leah, Quil and Paul walking. We stopped and they got in the back of the truck and we continued onto school.
When we got there, a lot of people just stared. Bella parked close to the front of the school and we all got out. I had run into one of my teachers a few weeks back and he demanded that I bring Bella in to meet him when I got the chance. Bella thought it was the perfect time to meet him so I didn't argue. I was around the truck to Bella's door helping her out, Seth was right behind me.
We all walked into the school, my arm around Bella's waist with Seth on the opposite side followed by the rest of the pack behind us. A few people gave us strange looks, of course I looked bad; a sixteen year old with a pregnant fiancé. I didn't care though, I was proud of my family to be.
We reached Mr. Oxford's class and it was only Seth, Bella and I. Seth went straight to his seat and I led Bella to his desk.
"Hey, Mr. O, how was your summer?"
"Hello Jacob, it was just great." He looked toward Bella and smiled. "Well, no need to ask how your summer went."
Bella hid her face in a chest.
I just smiled, "It was great."
"Are you going to introduce me to this beautiful girl, Jacob?"
"Oh, of course, Mr. Oxford this is Bella – Bella, Mr. Oxford."
He held his hand out for Bella and she shook it.
"It is nice to meet you dear; I hope Jacob here is taking care of you."
"Yes, he is wonderful." She smiled.
"Hey, I have been taking care of you too Bells!" Seth called from his seat.
She giggled, "Of course you have Seth and you know I would be lost without you around."
"Yeah, who would be there to get you Hersey kisses and dill pickles?" He laughed.
She joined in the laughter along with Mr. Oxford.
The first bell rang, warning everyone that they had ten minutes to get to class. I excused myself and walked Bella back to her truck. Gave her a soft kiss on her gorgeous lips and then kissed her stomach. When she was finally out of sight, I went back into the school and took my seat beside Seth. I had girls all around me staring. Me and Seth looked at each other and shrugged.
Mr. Oxford started the class but the girls never turned around. I could hear some of the guys a few seat in front of us joking.
"Jake finally knocked that chick up. Didn't take him long now did it." One guy joked.
My clenched my fists on top of my desk.
"Jake, calm down." Seth whispered to me.
I took a few deep breathes and nodded.
Mr. Oxford asked the class to pair up into groups of fours to do a 'What did you do this summer?' project. Of course I paired up with Seth and the two girls that sat in front of us asked to join our group. We said okay and they turned their chairs around to join us at our table.
"Hi, I am Shelby," the red head said smiling.
"I am Seth, this is my brother Jake."
"Nice to meet you two, I am Ashlee." The slender Indian girl said.
"Nice to meet you too." I answered.
"So, how were your summers?" Ashlee asked.
I didn't know how to answer her, 'Oh knocked up my girlfriend, went to a wedding, fought some newborn vampires; you know the usual.' I thought to myself.
"Well; we celebrated my sister-in-law-to-be's birthday, were groomsmen in our friends wedding and then Jake had an accident on his bike and broke his leg." Seth said.
I was thankful that he could summarize things but leave out major details.
"That sounds nice, except for the broken leg part." Shelby answered.
"Eh, it wasn't bad really. I got to spend more time with my family." I smiled.
"It was a fun summer, just wish it didn't end so fast." Seth sighed.
"Oh, stop complaining, in a few months you get to take a three month break." I jabbed him in the ribs, lightly.
"Yeah, that's true." His eyes lit up.
"Three month break?" Ashlee asked.
"That is when the babies are due." I smiled.
"Babies? How old are you exactly?" she asked, almost rude about it.
"Almost seventeen."
"A little young, aren't you?"
I shook my head, "I don't think so. Plus it wasn't planned."
She looked at Shelby then looked back at me, "You know, there are ways of preventing that."
I pulled my now shaking head off of the desk and placed it in my lap. Seth grabbed my arm and mouth 'calm' to me, when the girls weren't looking. I thought about Bella and my babies growing inside her, the thought alone was enough to calm me down.
"Well, things happen." I spat back.
"I suppose." Ashlee rolled her eyes.
[POV Seth]
Finally the day was over and Jake and I headed to the parking lot to meet Bella, she wouldn't let us walk home either. As soon as we stepped out the door I spotted Bella's truck and took off running.
"Hey Bells!" I smiled and wrapped her into a hug.
"Well, hello to you too Seth." She giggled.
I patted her cute baby bell and hopped into the cab of the truck.
Jake was walking slowly to the truck and Bella was tapping her foot, acting like she was impatient. Finally Jake laughed and rushed to her side and planted a kiss on her.
"Eww, come on guys! Virgin eyes here!"
Bella laughed and broke away from him.
"Come on silly get in the truck." She ordered Jake.
He shook his head.
"No? Do I have to make you Mister Black?" she said in a firm but joking voice.
I wouldn't push her, she was wicked strong since she became pregnant, and I guess the werewolves growing in her shared their traits with her.
Jake arched one of his eyebrows, "You wouldn't dare."
"Oh, wouldn't I?"
He smiled, "Fine, this isn't the place for you to show off your freaking werewolf strength."
She laughed, "That's what a thought."
We got back to Jake and Bella's house, which was pretty much my new house as well. Billy was sitting in his chair in front of the TV when we got there and Charlie was in the kitchen in front of the stove. I could smell something burnt when we got out of the truck and now I knew what it was, Charlie cooking.
"Hey kids, how was school?" Charlie asked.
"Good," I answered walking over to see what he was attempting to make.
"It could have been better," Jake called as he walked to his room.
I leaned over Charlie's shoulder and peered into the giant pot, it looked like chili but I wasn't sure.
"What're you makin' dad?" I asked him.
He smiled every time I called him dad; he was like a dad to me now that mine had passed away earlier in the year.
"Oh, just some homemade chili, hope you kids are hungry."
I patted my stomach, "You know us werewolves… we are always hungry."
He laughed but flinched when I said the word werewolves. He wasn't too happy knowing that he was living in a world full of werewolves and vampires. But, he didn't seem to criticize us; he just accepted the fact that we were different but still loved us all the same. Carlisle had to explain to him why Bella was showing already and where Edward had gone when he simply disappeared; Charlie wasn't upset at all to learn the fact that Edward was dead.
"Dinner time," Charlie called and when I turned around Bella and Jake were already at the kitchen table.
I chuckled to myself and sat down next to Bella.
Charlie bought over three bowls, one for each of us, full of his homemade chili and we all dug in.
Bella had downed her first bowl and was starting on her second before I even finished. Jake and I laughed about the fact that Bella could now out eat both of us; crazy werewolf pregnancy. We only joked about it to her, not wanting to upset her because she did have quite a temper nowadays. But, there was something different about Bella that sort of pulled me closer to her, I wasn't sure what it was and I most defiantly wasn't going to ask anyone about it. I guess it was because she was pretty much a sister or even a mom to me.
"You boys should go do your homework." Bella said, looking up from her bowl at me then Jake.
Jake groaned, I rolled my eyes and Charlie laughed.
"Yes mom," I sighed as I got up from the table and headed for my room.
And another chapter to be posted in a minute!
