Chapter 21:

Jacob woke up just then, walking in from the doorway.

"Hey, Jacob!" Seth crowed. Well, he was over his little upset pretty fast.

"He came to find you," Edward explained. "And Esme convinced him to stay for breakfast."

"Yeah, Jake-I was just checking to see if you were okay 'cause you didn't ever phase back." I stopped listening. All these voices were making my head hurt again.

Those images were so real and the worst part is that they're going to happen. I quickly went over what I saw. There were people coming in our door. I saw some people outside training with powers. Then there was an image of a little girl with bronze curls hiding behind Bella's hair, who I would presume was Renesmee. I saw us and the same people who were coming in and training standing by us with the Volturi on the other side. I came back to reality with a rush that if I hadn't been sitting down I would have been knocked over.

When I opened my eyes Jacob was walking out of the door. I leaned my head back. Bella was staring at me.

"What?" I asked.

"You knew it was a girl all along," she stated. I shifted uncomfortably. It wasn't a question.

"Yeah, I did."

"Why didn't you tell me?" She pouted.

I smiled. "Bella, you just seemed so happy and all when you thought it was a boy."

"Well, I would like to know what my child is. She's probably all upset that I thought she was a boy."

I shrugged. "Maybe."

"Can you see her?"

The question caught me off guard. I wasn't sure. I had never tried.

"I . . . don't know," I stammered.

"Oh. Well, how did you see that Seth was going to imprint on her?"

"Um . . . you sort of attacked him."

Her eyes went wide. "I attacked Seth?"

I nodded wordlessly. "It's okay, Bella. It's not that bad. He didn't even get hurt . . . Jacob did."

"What?"

"Well, he jumped in the way right when you pounced. But he only broke a shoulder."

"Oh." It was silent. I directed my attention to the TV which had some weird movie on. I had no idea what it was, just that some girl was getting chased by Scream. Oh, wait, this is Scary Movie. The first Scary Movie. I never did get to finish watching it that one time when it did come on. It was just starting, too.

"You actually like this stuff?" Edward asked. I nodded.

"It's funny and so is Family Guy, and The Simpsons."

"The Simpsons is the most funny," Bella added. I nodded in agreement. It was silent again except for the TV where the kids were all driving down the road and they hit that guy. Then Bella said she had to pee. Rosalie took her.

Jacob walked right through the door. He looked around wildly, searching for them.

"She's alright," I said. "In the bathroom. The blood makes her have to pee a lot." Edward was on the couch, Esme's arm wrapped around his shoulder. I was now sitting on the floor with the remote in my hand.

"Hello Jacob," she said. "I'm so glad you came back."

"Me, too," Alice said with a deep sigh. She came down the stairs making a face.

"Uh, hey," Jacob said awkwardly. I laughed under my breath. He felt weird.

"Oh, wonderful." Rosalie grumbled. "I knew I smelt something nasty."

"Hey, Jake," Bella said.

"Hi, Bells." Esme and Edward got up. I just stood to make room. As soon as Bella was laid on the couch, I sat down again and rested my head against her knees.

"Are you cold?" Edward murmured.

"I'm fine," Bella said.

"Bella, you know what Carlisle told you," Rosalie scolded. "Don't downplay anything. It's doesn't help us take care of either of you."

"Okay, I'm a little cold. Edward, can you hand me my blanket?"

"Isn't that sort of the point of me being here?" Jacob said.

"I think she'd prefer Seth," Rosalie said. I giggled. It was sort of true.

"You just walked in," Bella said, trying to hid the fact that she knew what Rosalie said was true. "After running all day, I'd bet. Put your feet up. I'll probably warm up again in no time."

Jacob ignored her and sat on the floor next to the sofa. He leaned against her side, letting his arm rest against the length of hers. Then he put his other hand against her face.

"Thanks, Jake," she said.

"Yeah," he said.

Edward sat on the arm of the sofa by Bella's feet, his eyes always on her face.

"Rosalie, why don't you get Jacob something from the kitchen?" Alice asked. She was sitting behind the back of the sofa.

"Thanks, anyway, Alice, but I don't think I'd want to eat something Blondie's spit in. I'd bet my system wouldn't take to kindly to venom."

I didn't hear her answer, already shaking from silent laughter from knowing what was about to happen. I saw Rosalie get up and breeze out of the room. There was a lot of banging in the kitchen and the sound of metal protesting as it was abused. Rosalie was back and with a pleasant smirk set a silver bowl on the floor next to Jacob.

"Enjoy, mongrel."

Rosalie had bended the once big mixing bowl back on itself until it was shaped almost exactly like a dog dish. She had scratched the word Fido into the side.

"Thanks, Blondie," Jacob said. She snorted.

"Hey, you know what you call a blonde with a brain?" he asked, "a golden retriever."

"I've heard that one, too," she said, no longer smiling.

"I'll keep trying," Jacob promised. He dug in. She made a disgusted face and rolled her eyes. She took the remote from me and started flipping through the channels so fast that there was no way she was actually watching.

"Hey!" I cried. "While you're not watching anything, I was!"

She shrugged but didn't look at me.

I glared at the TV, willing it to fly out and attack her or something of that nature. Edward smiled at my thought. Jacob and Bella were talking. Then Bella went to sleep and Jacob and Edward were talking. It was so weird how Bella could bring two people destined to be enemies for eternity together. That girl had skills.

Rosalie started talking. I began listening in the middle of her rant.

"Something I am not convinced of." Okay, so maybe not the middle of her rant.

I looked at Jacob. Silently, he lifted the dog bowl off the floor. Then with a quick flip of his wrist, he threw into the back of Rosalie's head. It made a earsplitting bang and smashed flat before it ricocheted across the room and snapped the round top piece off the thick newel post at the foot of the stairs. I was shocked.

"Dumb blonde," Jacob muttered. I almost didn't laugh, but failed anyway.

"You. Got. Food. In. My Hair." Jacob bust up laughing.

I took this as my chance and snatched the remote from her.

"That's what you get for waking up in Vegas, baby! And next time, do not. Take. The remote. From Taylor. Heed that warning."

I switched it back to the channel I was watching. Alice's tinkling laughter came from behind the couch while Jacob was roaring. The laughter had woken Bella up.

"What's so funny?" she mumbled.

"I got food in her hair," Jacob managed to get out.,

"I'm not going to forget this, dog," Rosalie hissed.

"S'not so hard to erase a blonde's memory." He gestured to me.

"Just blow in her ear," I finished with a smug smile on my face. I gave Jacob a high five.

"Get some new jokes," she snapped.

"C'mon, Jake. Leave Rose alo-" Bella broke off mid-sentence and sucked in a sharp breath.

"He- she is just stretching," Bella panted.

I took her hand.

"Carlisle?" Edward called.

"Right here," he said.

"Okay," Bella said, still breathing hard and shallow. "Think it's over. Poor kid doesn't have enough room, that's all. She's getting so big. You know, she reminds me of you, Jake."

"Do not compare me to that thing," he spat.

"I just meant your growth spurt," she said. "You shot right up. I could watch you getting taller by the minute. She's like that, too. Growing so fast."

I sighed and turned back to the TV. I still had Bella's hand in mine. This was going to be a long pregnancy.

I woke up the next morning to find Jacob gone and Bella sleeping. Edward was still watching over her like a hawk. My neck felt stiff. I rolled it and rubbed it.

"Morning," I said, my voice still thick with sleep.

"Hey," he said. He hesitated. "Can I ask you something?"

"Shoot." I rubbed eyes and tried to see clearer.

"Well, it's a girl, right?" I nodded, not knowing where this was going. "What's her name?"

I choked out a laugh. "Edward, that was your big question that you were too afraid to ask me?"

He nodded.

"Okay, well then, her name is-" Bella cried out in pain. She was panting hard, her breath shallow. Rosalie stepped in. Edward and Rosalie carried Bella upstairs, calling Carlisle's name. I sighed. Great. I heard the door open.

"Hey, wolf," I heard Alice say.

"Hey, shortie. What's going on upstairs?" Jacob.

Alice shrugged. "Maybe another break."

"Another rib?"

"No. Pelvis this time."

"See, I told you I didn't hear a crack. You need your ears checked, Edward." Rosalie.

I sighed and leaned my head back. My dream-vision was that of the fight with the Volturi. I was standing next to the wolves with Renesmee on my back. I don't get why, though. Shouldn't Bella be carrying her own daughter?

They came down the stairs, then - Edward was holding Bella. She was gripping her cup of blood, her face white. They all started talking. I was still thinking of my dream. It had then shifted to three different outcomes. At first, I saw us all cheering with family and friends. Everyone was happy. Then I saw me on Jacob's back and Renesmee on Seth's; we were running through the forest. I looked back and could see smoke in the sky, the orange flames, and the smell of a vampire being burned. The last picture was the most gruesome, in my opinion. I was standing with Renesmee in my arms with Jake and Seth. We were standing in the field and we could see the actual fires. My vision of us was soon gone because the black cloaks moved in, closer and closer.

My eyes flew open. Jacob was in one of the chairs, I witnessed Rosalie flying upstairs with Bella's cup, and Bella was the same. I jerked up. I had been sleeping.

"Hey, Sleeping Beauty," Jacob said with a grin. I gave a wave and relaxed back.

"Did you say something?" Edward asked.

"Me?" she asked. "I didn't say anything."

"What are you thinking about right now?"

"Nothing. What's going on?"

"What were you thinking about a minute ago?" he asked.

"Just . . . Esme's island. And feathers."

"Say something else," he whispered. Finally! I was wondering when this was going to happen. Way to go, Nessie!

"Like what? Edward, what's going on?"

"Taylor, is this supposed to happen?" he asked. He was staring at me intently.

"Um . . . yeah, yeah it is." Rosalie came back and gasped.

"The f-" He swallowed. "It . . . she . . . the baby likes the sound of your voice." I pumped my fists in the air.

"Score 1 for Team Nessie!" They all stared at me as if I was crazy. Maybe I was.

"Holy crow, you can hear her!" Bella shouted. Then she winced.

"Shh," he murmured, rubbing her belly. "You startled it . . . her."

Her eyes went wide and full of wonder. "Sorry, baby."

"What's she thinking now?" she demanded eagerly.

"She's . . . happy."

"Bella, I know you were so set on a boy, but since it's a girl what're you gonna name her?" I asked.

"I kicked a few things around. Playing with Renee and Esme. I was thinking . . . Ruh-nez-may."

She looked at me. I nodded and grinned.

"Ruhnezmay?" Rosalie asked.

"R-e-n-e-s-m-e-e. Too weird?"

"No, I like it. It's beautiful. And one of a kind, so that fits."

"What?" Bella asked. Edward was staring off into space. "What's she thinking now?"

"She loves you," Edward whispered. "She absolutely adores you."

I looked at Jacob. I took one of his hands in the both of mine. I ran to the small end table and ripped a pair of keys from the drawer there. I dragged him to the garage.

"We'll be back, guys!" I called. I ran with his hand in mine to the Aston Martin Vanquish. I pushed Jacob in the passenger seat and slid into the driver's seat. I started the car and drove out.

"Taylor, pull over," Jacob said. I looked at him as if he was crazy.

"Why?"

"I wanna drive." I rolled my eyes. Of course. I pulled over on the side and went to the other side of the car.

He hit the car in drive and sped off. I had no idea where he was going, but I didn't question him. I felt the need to escape, too.

Here you are. I actually finished this at exactly 11:02 at night, but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one on Fanfiction at this time of night. I was bored. Anyway, you know the drill and let's try to get to 100 hundred by New Year's. That would really make my b-day especially if you reviewed at 12:00 after the countdown.
