It's Not Over

The flight home seemed to extend into forever. However, one advantage of knowing the Cullens was having access to a private jet, so I didn't mind the lengthy flight. Plus, it gave me the opportunity to hold Ephraim in my arms throughout the entire trip. I studied his face and wanted to engrave everything into my memory. His thick coat of hair on his head, his petite nose, the rolls around his wrist and ankles; everything about him was perfect. He took in a deep breath during his sleep, and I caught him with a few smiles. His little crooked smile lit my face up.

Nessie woke up from her nap and saw me studying Ephraim.

"He has your crooked smile, Jacob, and your piercing dark eyes. At least he has my temperament."

"Thanks for the warning."

Nessie jabbed me on the side for my sarcastic comment. I held Ephraim tight and composed my balance, but not before I released a bellowing laugh. I couldn't stop and Nessie was more persistent with each errant laugh. It was liberating sharing this moment with Nessie. I felt whole again having them both beside me. After catching my breath, Nessie leaned over and planted her lips on mine. I responded back and didn't care while everyone watched, but I could sense Nessie's hesitation. It was rare that she would shy away from anything, so it made it harder for me to resist her. It was tempting.

"You both do know we're less than an hour away from home?" Emmett was quick to jest like always.

"Uncle Emmett!" Even Emmett knew how to keep Nessie from being quiet. She never liked this kind of attention. "Will Aunt Rosalie be joining us in Forks?"

"Yeah, she hasn't seen the little tyke yet. You know how she adores babies."

Rose had a lot of admiration for humans and their ability to have a normal life. So she thought it would be best that she and Emmett move to London to assume a normal life, and it nearly broke Nessie's heart. Their relationship was so close growing up. Nessie was the closest thing Rose would get to nurture a child. When Rose heard Nessie was with child, Rose was in more contact with Nessie throughout the pregnancy. Therefore, it was only natural that Rose would be en route to Forks to see Ephraim.

While our route that was supposed to be an hour actually felt like several minutes due to our conversations keeping the flight interesting, time passed rapidly even during the ride home. We separated from the Cullens and went directly home. Dad never had the chance to meet Ephraim, so I was eager for that reunion. It was late in the evening, but the lights were still on in the house. As I opened the door, my Dad came directly towards us. His eyes watery, but they were directly at Ephraim. I placed Ephraim in his arms, and it was so natural for this moment with grandpa and his grandson. My Dad finally looked up to Nessie and gave her a warm welcome with his arms.

"You and Jacob need to stop with these separations. You're causing this old man to age too quickly."

"I know, Billy. I'm sorry. We'll both work on it." She let out a childish chuckle and planted a kiss on his cheeks.

Setting all jokes aside, we were all exhausted. We said our goodnights to Billy, and then went to our rooms. We didn't even get a chance to sleep in our new rooms yet. Nessie walked into our room and her face was in shock at what she saw. The Italian crib Aro gifted us was against the wall by our bed.

"You kept it?"

"Of course I did. I knew how much you loved it when you first laid eyes on it, so I didn't have the heart to burn it."

"Thank you, Jacob. I'm so fortunate to have an understanding husband. Plus, I'd love to have Ephraim sleep in our room tonight especially after everything that we've been through."

Her face looked apprehensive, and I couldn't fault her. I didn't have a lot of trust in Aro yet and it may take a while or never.

I laid Ephraim down to sleep in his crib. I had to step away to shower, yet I didn't have the courage to separate from him. This tiny little human had so much power over me, and it was overwhelming. He was oblivious to the calamity that surrounded him. I envied his calmness and wish I could descend into his world.

Nessie came behind me and wrapped her arms around my waist and chest.

"He's going to be fine."

Somehow, her demeanor calmed me. She took my hand and led me into the bathroom. I didn't even realize the shower was already turned on and the bathroom was quickly steaming. She released my hand and peeled off her clothes, one layer at a time. All the while, her eyes never left mine. Her perfect exposed body was tormenting me. I took one step closer to her but she stopped me by pressing her palm on my chest. This wasn't a fair game, but I didn't want to stop playing. She gave me a devilish smile knowing full well that I was losing at her game.

Without speaking, she took off my shirt and threw it onto the floor. She then unzipped my jeans and pulled them down along with my boxers. As she gazed up, she saw I was ready for her. She nodded her head warning me that it wasn't time yet, but damn it I couldn't wait any longer. I leaned down to kiss her, but she placed her finger on my lips. Hell, she wasn't going to let me taste her. This game better be worth it at the end.

She took my hand instead and walked us into the enormous paneless glass shower. The water wasn't cold enough to cool me down, instead the steam made it harder for me to concentrate. While facing me, she lathered up the liquid soap in her hands and began to wash my body. She started on my chest and shoulders. Her hands mirrored each other as they went in circular motions up and down, then around my chest. I studied her face and saw how it pleased her to wash me, and then I realized I was enjoying this more than I had realized. I don't know why I never bothered showering with her before.

She was then on her knees and washing my legs, one at a time and gently massaging all my muscles. It caught me off guard when she grabbed my erected presence. She was washing me there. How could I not fight this, it was causing a burning sensation inside me. I didn't know how to react. My mouth dropped open and I started breathing with a heavy breath. I inhaled deeply when she pulled me back and forth.

"Fuck!"

I couldn't handle this anymore. I grabbed her face with one hand and devoured her mouth with mine. My tongue sucked hard on her and I'm sure I was going to leave a bruise on her lips, but Nessie was driving me insane at this moment. She wouldn't let go of me either and still gripped on tightly and still pulling back and forth.

"Stop it, Nessie. Stop it!"

I didn't want her to though, and she knew it too. She smiled at me knowing full well I was losing at this game. I pinned her against the glass wall and could see her naked ass reflected on the mirror. She had me hot and bothered at every angle.

"You don't like to play fair, Nessie. I'll show you not fair."

I picked her up in one quick swoop, and rinsed myself before walking out of the shower.

"Jacob, we're not done showering!"

"Oh, Nessie, we were done a long time ago when you started this game."

Not giving a damn if the shower was still running, I dropped her onto our bed. This massive bed was going to be utilized on every square inch. Our bodies were still dripping with water, but I didn't care. I grabbed her ankles, bent her knees, and spread her legs apart. I could see her heavy breathing with the movement of her breasts rising up and down. I went straight behind her curls between her thighs and gave the deepest kiss my tongue could devour. She whimpered and tightened her thighs around my head, but I pushed them back, and then stepped back.

"Please, Jacob. I'm sorry."

Wanting to please her some more, I claimed her between her thighs again except I didn't kiss her where she wanted it most. I placed kisses on each inner thigh and inhaled her scent. She was intoxicating, and I didn't even know how much longer I could hold out for her either.

"Jacob." She sounded exhausted and was rubbing her hands down her neck then between the valley of her breasts. I went up to stop her before she could please herself. I grabbed both her hands and placed them above her head. She looked at me with those piercing eyes, and bit her bottom lip. She came up to me and tried to kiss me, but I backed off.

"Not yet, Nessie."

She tilted her head back in disagreement. While pinning her arms down, I kissed her neck. Her wet skin from the shower made it all more enticing to suck her more. I found my way down her breasts and filled my mouth with each nipple. She moaned as my tongue danced with her nipple, and she wrapped her legs around me. She was caressing her body against mine and the motion was torturing me. I lost my senses and gave in. I went down and placed my tongue inside her so I could taste the sweetness coming. I climbed on top of her and penetrated myself deep into her. We kissed and tasted her sweetness together. I exploded and never felt more alive.

Our bodies still wet from the shower, we now laid still on the bed. My head rested on her breasts, and our legs intertwined as we got lost in each other.

I woke up to turn off the shower, but Nessie pulled me back in. Her eyes still closed.

"Nessie, you know I have to turn off the shower?"

She pushed me back up to release me. She opened one eye only and her lips released a smile.

After turning off the shower, I brought over towels and dried the both of us. I climbed into the bed beside her and held her until I fell asleep.

Nessie, Ephraim and I left the house to the Cullens. Rose greeted us at the front doors. She was poised as always, but the moment she saw Ephraim she ran to hold him. We sat in the family room continuing our conversations when Rose began to cry. Her finger was being grasped by Ephraim's tiny fingers. Everyone surrounded Rose to comfort her. She spoke up and I tried to make out what she said. "I'm going to be pregnant." I couldn't believe it. Neither could anyone else, but we all feared it.

"Jacob!"

Nessie was trying to wake me, and I was sweaty from my dream. It felt surreal like the dream in Italy.

"Jacob, wake up. Are you okay?"

"I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm fine."

"You were mumbling."

"Nessie, I don't think we know the full capacity of Ephraim's gift. Yes, his vision is the future, but it can also be alternated. Just how his vision came to me in a dream before the battle with Aro, but we were able to control it and change it."

"Jacob, what are you talking about?"

"Nessie, it's not over."

"What's not over?"

"This battle with Aro."

"What do you mean? Tell me."

"I don't know how else to say this, but Rose is going to be pregnant and Ephraim knows. If Aro finds out, he's going to be irate and want answers. We won't know how to give him answers because clearly I don't even know how that's feasible."

"Jacob."

We both looked at Ephraim. What if his gift was more than visions? What if he could give the gift of life to vampires?
