Time
it's almost May now. Rachel and Paul had wonderful time on their honeymoon. Rachel was more than ecstatic to come home and find that she and Paul have a house of their own. I haven't got to go see it yet. After the wedding grandpa and dad agreed with Jake that it would be best for me if I stayed home until after the baby is born. Since I haven't gotten to see the house Rachel brought me photos of it to look at yesterday.
I haven't been the only one on house arrest though. It turns out that Kim's baby is due at the end of this month or the beginning for June. So, when Jared or Jacob has patrol we both get locked in a bedroom with the other so we are under watch. Though Jacob really doesn't have to worry about me being alone. Embry comes and checks on me like every five minutes when he isn't on patrol even if I'm with Jake. I am due any day now so Jacob hasn't gone on patrol in about a week now. Carlisle said that it is too hard to tell for sure when the baby will come but if it hasn't by the end of the week then he will start doing test. That's one thing I'm not looking forward too.
I think Jacob is rather excited that it can be any day now for a few reasons. He can't wait to be a dad; I have no doubt in my mind that he will be a great one. After all he helped take care of me when I was little and I remember it completely. I think the second reason he is so glad that it is almost time is the fact that once it is born I will hopefully stop randomly bursting into tears. I think it confuses him because he doesn't know how to make me feel better.
Kim on the other hand is the opposite and she starts giggling, usually at things that make me cry. Grandpa says it's because we spend so much time together. We are almost always in the same room together except at night. Jared swears up at down that it is because our babies will be opposite genders.
Jake and I are currently in the nursery. I'm sitting in the rocking chair in the corner while Jake is putting away things from the baby shower last night. I was too tired to afterwards so he put if off until today. Every once and a while he will look over at me questioningly it see if he is putting things in the right places. I just give him a small nod or shake of the head. I could talk but sometimes it's just nice to enjoy the quietness around us. We seem to have our own silent language between us anyway.
For now we are using the small room next to ours. It used to have cubby style shelves all around the room. Alice had originally designed it to be Jacob's closet, though we have never used it for that purpose. We decided to remodel it into the nursery because it was its own room yet has a door that goes into our room. We added a second door that goes to the hall and windows. We decided to paint the room a light grey color and then use mint green for the accents in the room. We left the cubby shelving on one side to the room to serve as an open closet. We did add some draws to it though. The crib is along the wall closet to our room, opposite of the wall of shelving. A lot of thought went into the crib. After several days of debate we decided to use my iron crib from when I was a baby. It may be a little girlie if it's a boy but we don't know if it will be as strong as I was. There is a changing table next to the door that leads to the hall. And the rocking chair I am sitting in is between the crib and window.
"Jacob"
"Yes Babe"
"I don't feel very well today."
"Sick again?"
"No it's more like a pain today."
"Do you want to go see Carlisle?"
"Ow, yes"
"Alight"
He scooped me up bridle style and carried me to the car. I'm glad that it is Sunday which means that grandpa is at home and not the hospital. The moment Jacob got me out of the car at the main house my water broke. Dad was outside in an instant with mom. I reached for them desperately I had been feeling hot since the middle of the night. Though I wanted Jacob to hold me I was so glad when I was placed in my mom's cool arms. I cuddled into her hiding my face in her neck. When we got inside I could hear Jasper on the phone with Grandpa. Apparently him, grandma, Rose and Emmett are out hunting. Grandpa picks such good time to hunt I thought to myself, which earned a laugh from daddy.
"What's so funny Edward?"
"Renesmee thinking about how Carlisle was out hunting when you had her and how he is out hunting now."
"I guess that is kind of funny."
"Will Grandpa be home in time?"
"I'm not sure Sweetheart; it depends on how fast you progress."
Mom, Dad, Jake, Alice, and even Jasper took me up stairs to the room I was born in. Jasper stayed close to me because I was scared and he wasn't worried because there wasn't blood yet. Grandpa arrived when I was about half way ready to push. It took even longer than it did for Emily when Levi was born. Paul and Rachel came to visit while we waited. Rebecca came about an hour after they did and brought Billy with her. It made me feel proud to know Jake was going to be the first of his kids to have children. We haven't even told Grandpa Charlie that I am having a baby. When I was finally ready Grandpa made everyone but Jacob go down stairs to wait. However I didn't make it more than five minutes before I was screaming for Mommy to come back.
It was all worth it in the end. It had been twelve hours of pain since Jacob and I arrived at the main house this morning. Now I'm sitting in Dad's old room in the bed with my back against the headboard holding my precious baby wrapped in a little pink blanket. I'm still sore but Grandpa says that I should heal in just a few hours.
Looking down at my baby girl she looks so much like Jake, though she has lighter skin than most Quileutes. It surprises me that with her fast growth rate that she is so much smaller than Levi when I first got to hold him. She is healthy though and weighs about five pounds. Carlisle said that he wants to measure her growth like he did mine. At least until we have some idea of what she is. Jake and I haven't come up with a name for her yet though. We really didn't talk about it because I didn't want to fall in love with a name and then it is for the wrong gender.
I cuddled into Jake's side after he sat down next to me. Dad and Mom brought Billy into the room shortly after Jake say down.
"Hey, Ness how are you doing?"
"Good but I'm tired."
"I bet you have had a long hard day. May I?"
I nodded and Jake passed out daughter over to his dad so I didn't have to reach over him.
"Do you have a name for her yet?"
Looking back and forth between Jacob, my parents and his dad, I thought hard about it for a long two minutes. After taking a deep breath I said the first name that came to my lips not even really thinking about it.
"Sarah Marie Black"
I watched Billy and Jacob for their responses before turning to my parents. Billy smiled proudly and Jacob kissed my forehead before whispering.
"That beautiful Sweetheart."
Both of my parents nodded in agreement.
"I wanna see her."
Whined Emmett's voice from the hall. Heard them all come upstairs while I was thinking of a name.
"Oh alright come in."
"Yay!"
Rosalie pushed her giant husband out of the way to be the first one into the room. I was perfectly find with everyone taking turns holding her until it was Paul's turn.
"So, Sis what are you going to do if someone imprints on her?"
Jake let out a soft growl at his question. He did have a point in asking. I mean him and Jake are currently the only pack members here. I had just revived a text from Leah telling me that she and Seth were on their way. I had told everyone ahead of time that I didn't want a lot of people around until I went back home. Jake however argued that we need to share the moment with family and that my family would all already be here. So it was decided that Billy, Rachel, Paul, Rebecca, Leah and Seth would get to come right away.
"Jacob you know that we just have to except whatever happens. It wouldn't be fair to be harsh on someone. I mean after all you imprinted on me the day I was born. And we both know that she will always be our baby and be protected no matter what."
"I guess you're right."
It was during this conversation that Seth and Leah came in. After about a half hour of everyone visiting I was too tired to talk to anyone for even a few minutes longer. I had just settled down, all cuddled into Jake with my head on his chest and Sarah on his chest as well with my eyes closed when the door burst open. This caused me to jump into being wide awake again and the noise woke a now crying Sarah. I tried to calm her as Jacob glared at whoever just entered the room. I looked up to see Embry.
"I'm sorry Jake. I just hadn't heard from you all day and I was worried something happened to Ness."
He continued babbling apologies as he took the empty space next to me on the other side of the bed.
"You woke up Renesmee and Sarah, who had just fallen asleep."
The anger was clear in Jake's voice. I'm not going to lie I'm pretty angry at Embry right now too. At the mention of Sarah's name Embry looked down to the small bundle in my arms. I noticed form the corner of my eye that his eyes are locked on Sarah's. It was my turn to be angry. I let out a loud warning hiss for Embry to back away. This is the first time in my life that I have ever hissed at one of the guys. Both of my parents were back in the room within seconds. I felt Jake place a soft kiss on my neck as I glared at Embry.
"Babe you just said that we couldn't be angry."
"FINE" I huffed. "But he better behave. I don't want to hear any noise out of him until after I have gotten some sleep. And he better not wake her up again and make her cry."
Jake kissed my head in agreement. I glanced back over at Embry who nodded before I cuddled back into Jake to sleep.
When I woke up a few hours later I was still a little annoyed that Embry woke Sarah and I up. But I hadn't even heard him say a word to Jake while I slept the last few hours. He was cuddled into my back helping Jake keep me warm. As I gently picked Sarah up off Jake's chest she woke up. Embry quietly watched as I fed her. When I was done I placed her in Embry's arms, before cuddling into him.
"Sorry I got so angry last night. Both of us had just fallen asleep. And yeah I was a little angry about the imprint, but I knew it was coming."
"How did you it was coming?"
"From the stories my parents told me about my mom and Jake before I was born. Also because for the last two months you have had to check on me every five minutes when you weren't ordered to do patrol."
"Sorry"
"Why?"
"For annoying you and imprinting."
"No it was cute at first anyway. Beside I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to imprint on her."
"How do you know that?"
"Because you are just so sweet and I know that the way you treat her will be even better than how you treat me."
I leant over and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Go ahead and get some more sleep. I'll watch over her and let you know if I need any help."
"Thank you Embry"
I gave him a quick kiss and then cuddled into Jake and fell back asleep.

Thanks to all of you that have written reviews, please keep them coming.
