CHAPTER 36 ~ KICK
Renesmee P.O.V
I woke up to the smell of my favourite breakfast. I felt too lazy to get up and see. I rolled over and took a look at my stomach. It didn't change that much last night. It has been about three weeks since I found out I was pregnant, so I was about a month along. For the past week, my stomach has been growing really fast, so I look like I'm three months instead of one. I rubbed my belly and yawned. I was still tired, so I went back to sleep.
"Nessie, wake up. Nessie!" Jake rubbed my arm, I woke up. I blinked a few times and rolled over to see him better. He made me smile.
"Morning." I said sleepily.
"Morning. I made you breakfast." He rolled in a trolley with a plate of pancakes and some freshly squeezed orange juice. I started to sit up; Jake rushed to my side to help me.
"Jake, I'm capable of sitting up on my own. Wait a couple of months and then you might need to start helping me." He helped me anyway. He put a pillow behind my back and handed me a tray. He then got a pancake, put it on a plate and put my favourite toppings on it. He put the plate and my orange juice on the tray in my lap. I looked down at my plate, then back up at him.
"One pancake? Jake, I have an appetite, regardless, and now that I'm pregnant I eat almost as much as you. And you're only giving me one pancake?" He laughed and put two more on my plate.
"Eat them first and then I'll give you some more." He said. He got his own plate and sat next to me. I was already on my second pancake by then.
"These are really nice, thank you." I said in between mouthfuls.
"You're welcome. After all, you do deserve the best."
"Aw, Jake! You can be so romantic sometimes!" I gave him a kiss.
I kept eating, and I went back for seconds and thirds.
After I finished, we lay in bed for a while, just talking.
"Thought of any names yet?" Jake asked.
"None have really caught my attention." I said. "What about you?"
"No, not yet." I started into his big brown eyes for a while, smiling.
"What?" He asked.
"Oh, nothing. I just hope our babies have your eyes." I said. Suddenly, I felt something move inside of me. I gasped and my hands flew to my stomach.
"What? What is it? Are you ok?"
"Jake, I think I just felt a kick!" I grabbed his hand and placed it over the spot where I felt it. We waited. After a few seconds I felt another kick. We both gasped.
"That's so amazing!" Jake said. The baby kicked again. We laughed.
We lay in bed for a while and then we decided it was time to get up. Jake helped me up, even though I insisted I didn't need help. I got up, took a shower and got dressed for the day. I just dressed in a pair of sweats and a baggy t-shirt. I needed new maternity clothes.
"Your mom rang; your family wants to see you." Jake told me as I walked into the kitchen.
"Ok, let's go." We got into the car and drove to my family's house. We arrived and my dad was standing outside the front door already.
"How are you today?" He asked, helping me out of the car.
"I'm fine. I don't need help yet." I assured him. He backed off a little.
"You're bigger than I remember." He said.
"It's only been two days." I said, walking up the stairs.
"Well you must be growing fast." We walked inside to see everyone in the lounge room.
"Hey everyone!" I hung up my coat. Alice turned around and gasped. She rushed to my side.
"Nessie, what the hell do you think you're wearing?!"
"Um, clothes?" I said. She shook her head.
"What are you doing today? We are going shopping." She guessed my answer.
"Let me sit down first." I said. I walked over to the couch and said hello to everyone. Jake sat down.
"Wow, you're getting big." My mom said as she helped me sit down.
"Yeah, I know. And why does everyone keep helping me today? I'm perfectly capable of doing things myself." I said.
"How are you?" Carlisle asked.
"I'm good." I told him.
"And how are the babies?"
"Actually, I felt a kick from them this morning." I said.
"Really? That's fantastic!" Everyone smiled.
I had an ultrasound, like I did every week, and then we went back downstairs.
"So, can we think of some names now?" Alice asked. I sighed.
"Ok Alice, what have you thought of?" She smiled and went upstairs and into her bedroom. She came back downstairs a few seconds later with a book that had lots of sticky notes sticking out of it. She handed it to us.
"It's a baby name book. There are thousands of names with their own meaning. I've marked the ones I like, see?" She pointed to the notes.
"Wow." Was all Jacob could say.
"Thanks, Alice!" I gave her a hug.
"Your welcome. Carlisle says they will be coming in a couple of months, so you need to choose some names soon, ok?" She said. I nodded.
"We'll pick some names, but I want to keep it a surprise for you guys, ok?" I told her. She frowned.
"But I thought that we would pick some names together." She said.
"We want to surprise you." Jake told her.
"Fine. I'll be good, I'll wait." She went and sat next to Jasper.
We had lunch and then Alice and I went shopping for more maternity clothes. Then we had dinner at their place and then we went home.
"Have you read through this book yet, Jacob?" I asked as he was getting ready for bed.
"No, I'm not looking forward to it either." He said, climbing into bed.
"Well there are some really nice names, and I've only looked through the A's." I showed him a few I liked.
"Well, I'm sure we will find the right names soon. It's not like we don't have time, right?" He said, closing his eyes.
"Jake, we only have a couple of months, and they are gonna go so quickly. We should choose some soon, so we don't have to worry about it!" I said.
"Nessie, calm down. It's not good to be stressed when you're pregnant. We will pick some names tomorrow, ok? Just get some sleep."
"Ok." I gave in. Jacob turned off his lamp and went to sleep. I did the same.
