First of all, I am soooo sorry for the long wait! The site was freaking and then I had vacation without wifi! Ugh! Well, anyway, here is the next chapter in Midnight Rose! I will try to make it up to you guys by updating a second time this week, but it depends on homework and such. But thank you so much for reading and/or reviewing! -twiandsuperfan
Anything but this!
Jacob's POV
"We have now begun our decent into the Seattle International Airport, at this time please put all tray tables in the up & locked position…"
We were finally back home! I can't believe that this is happening… why me? I already went through this once, like I need to again, just why? I kept asking up to the sky. I really hoped that Nessie's pregnancy wouldn't be anywhere near as bad as Bella's, but the way things are going, it's leading in that direction. I guess that I finally figured out how Edward felt… although I really never wanted to know.
Nessie spent most of the plane ride sleeping in my lap, or throwing up. I could tell that she hated to see me so tortured, but she couldn't help it. She only ate a bite from the egg sandwich on the plane, and she refused to drink any water, which was definitely not helping. But we were finally here, and I knew that Carlisle would be able to help her. As everyone crowded into the aisle to get out I had to wake up Nessie.
"Nessie, we're here, can you please get up?" I asked her, touching my hand to her cheek. Her eyes fluttered open slowly.
"Oh! Sorry." She apologized.
"S'okay, but come on, everyone's waiting." I said & then helped her out of her seat. Then we walked out of the plane hand in hand.
Of course everyone was waiting right outside the gate, Edward had a very angry face on… which I understood, Bella looked scared, and everyone else looked just curious. As soon as we got out of the gate Nessie ran into Edward and Bella's arms.
"Welcome home, Renesmee." Said Bella kissing Nessie on the forehead.
"How are you doing?" Asked Edward.
"Okay." She answered. She then ran into Alice and Blondie's arms.
Alice and Rosalie whispered something into Nessie's ear that sounded something like "We're here", but it was real quiet, and didn't really understand what it meant anyway. I just stood observing everything until Carlisle came over to me.
"Good job getting her home." He said smiling; I hated how he seemed so glad and cheerful right now.
"Yup." Was all I said in response.
"How did she hold up?" He asked wiping the smile off his face, clearly seeing that it wasn't doing any good.
"Not too well, she won't eat or drink anything." I explained.
"When was the last time she hunted?" He asked.
"Two or three days ago." I responded.
He just nodded his head as Nessie came to give him a hug.
"Let's get you home." He said and kissed Nessie. When she let go, she walked over to me, grabbed my hand, and gave it a light tug.
"Come on, let's go home." She encouraged. I walked side by side with her. Edward and Emmett went to get our luggage while everyone else brought us to the car.
Soon enough Emmett and Edward were back in the car and we were driving home at full speed. Nessie was leaning against me.
"You can sleep if you want Nessie," I offered. She nodded her head and laid down in my lap.
"Carlisle, can I ask you a question?" I asked.
"Of course."
"What is this thing? Is it more like me, or you, or is it human?" I asked.
"Well, if the genetic make-up works the same as how it did on Nessie, then I would assume for it to be a mix of all three."
"Okay." I answered blankly, and then continued. "What are we going to do about it? You know that she won't let you take it out."
"I agree with you that she won't let us touch it, but I really don't think that she should carry such a strange creature, there has never been anything like this, well at least as far as I know." Answered Carlisle with a small chuckle.
"What do you think it will do to her?" I asked in a hollow voice that almost sounded like I was choking, I really didn't know if I wanted to hear the answer.
"I really don't know, but considering that both of its parents grow rapidly, I am guessing that her pregnancy will be short, but we will just have to see." He said avoiding getting me upset. Probably a good thing too.
The rest of the ride home was silent, everyone too nervous to talk. We finally reached the big white house in the middle of the woods. Never had I ever been so happy to be back here! Nessie was still sleeping, so I carefully picked her up in my arms and carried her into the house.
"Where do you want me to bring her?" I asked.
"Just on the couch for now." Said Edward blankly. I brought her over and laid her down, then placed my arm along her side to keep her warm. It reminded me so much of when Bella was pregnant that I had to bite my lip to keep from letting the tears that were forming in my eyes, fall.
Carlisle walked over to us then, followed by everyone else. Bella took her place next to Edward, her expression was pure torture. Just then Nessie opened her eyes.
"Why good morning, Nessie." I said smiling.
"Good morning." She answered back.
"How are you feeling?" I asked her.
"Okay." She said sitting up. She looked at everyone smiling.
"Renesmee, would you mind if I tried to get an ultrasound of the baby?" Carlisle asked.
"You're not going to kill it?" She asked happily.
"Well I think it would be best if we got it out of you, but I guess that's your decision" Explained Carlisle. I could tell that he wanted her to pick the first option.
"No." She whispered bringing her hand to her stomach protectively.
"Okay, then let's go on upstairs." He instructed. I picked her up from the couch.
"I can walk, Jacob." She told me.
"It's fine." I answered simply, and then carried her up the staircase. Edward and Bella followed at my heels. When we got into Carlisle's office I placed Nessie on the bed.
"Okay, I honestly don't know if this will work, but it's worth a try." Said Carlisle.
It turned out that the thing's membrane was too thick, much like Nessie's was… that meant that there was some vampire in it. When we were done I brought Nessie back to the couch.
"Do you have a blanket?" I asked Edward. Nessie was shivering next to me.
"Yes, here you go." Said Edward pulling a blanket off of one of the chairs.
"Thanks." Nessie muttered as I put it on her.
"You're welcome, do you want anything else?" I offered.
"Well, my throat is burning… but I don't think we can do much about that."
"Well, Renesmee, we can get you some blood if you would like." Stated Edward, and then continued "What do you think Carlisle?"
"Well, I don't think it's such a great idea until we find more out about the fetus, we don't know if it will reject the blood, or enjoy it." He explained.
"That's okay." Answered Nessie.
"We could give you some eggs if you want." Offered Carlisle.
"No thanks." Nessie answered.
"Well how about if you rest some more then?" I suggested.
"Okay…" She said closing her eyes. I laid my arm along her body again, and I was pretty sure that I heard her say "Thanks" really quietly…
"Jake, you might want to get some sleep too; you can sleep in Edward's room." Suggested Bella.
"I'm fine, Bells." I said although I was pretty tired.
"Really, you are still human… well kind of." She said lightening up the moment.
"Fine, wake me up when Nessie gets up." I stated walking upstairs.
"I will." She said.
I really hated to leave Nessie, but I knew that if she was like Bella it would only get worse, and I really didn't want to go several weeks without sleep…
"Jake, she's awake." Cooed Bella as she tapped me. I was instantly up.
"How's she doing?" I asked.
"She wants to see you." Bella explained.
I got up and ran quickly down the stairs. Nessie was lying on the couch with her hand on her stomach, and then Edward grabbed a bucket as she threw up into it. I ran even faster getting to her in less than a second.
"It's okay, Nessie. I'm here; I'm here, your okay." I chanted until she was done. She smiled at me.
"You okay?" I asked smiling back.
"Yeah, but my throat burns." She said in an exhausted voice.
"I know," I sighed to Nessie and then to Edward "Can't we try…" I pretty much begged.
"Carlisle?" He asked in a desperate voice similar to mine.
"I guess that we could try…" Said Carlisle unsure.
"Bella, love, can you go get some of the blood from upstairs?" Asked Edward all mushy gooey.
"Sure, be right back, Renesmee." She said as she left.
I grabbed Nessie's hand and held it in mine. She was still smiling.
"What's so funny?" I asked.
"Just thinking…" She whispered and then placed her hand on my head and showed me us swimming in the pool back at Isle Black.
"That is a good memory." I replied smiling. Edward rolled his eyes, and then Bella was back with a cup & straw.
"Here you go, Renesmee." She said handing her the cup, and then stroking her cheek quickly.
"Thanks." She said and drank the liquid. I was used to her doing this, and if it made her feel better, then it was worth it. Soon enough she was done.
"Better?" Bella asked.
"Yeah, my throat doesn't burn!" Laughed Nessie, then Carlisle came back with some medical stuff.
"I am just going to check you out, alright?" Asked Carlisle.
"Okay." Answered Nessie still smiling. Then Carlisle got to work checking her heart, measuring her stomach, and a bunch of other things.
"Well, everything seems to be fine at this point. We will have to see if she can keep the blood down though." Stated Carlisle.
"Can I go back to sleep?" Asked Nessie.
"Sure." Carlisle responded.
"Good Night." I told her and gave her a quick peck on the forehead.
"Night." She said and then nestled into the pillows. This was going to be a long couple of weeks!
Let me know what you think! Reviews would be love at this point! Haha. Thanks for reading and I will try to update soon! -twiandsuperfan
