Chapter 38
"Geez Jake, how much are you going to eat?!" I laughed. We were at a McDonald's down the road from the diner. We thought against going back there, the lady might think something…
"As muc as I can" He said with his mouth full. He had already eaten nearly 3 Big Mac's, 3 large fries, and drank 5 extra large Dr. Pepper's. Jase had already eaten 2 kids' meals but was done.
"Hurry up dog unless you want to stay at McDonald's for the rest of your life." Aunt Rose snarled. He glared at her and stuffed the rest of his 3rd burger in his mouth.
"Bedder?" She rolled her eyes and jumped down from the table, towing Uncle Emmett behind her. I picked up Jase from the high chair and got up. Jacob grabbed the bag which had another kids' meal and 2 more Big Mac's and fries. I grinned as we left the restaurant.
We got in Alice's Porsche and started heading home.
"I never thought I'd be so happy to see this place…" Jacob muttered getting out of the car. I nudged him giggling. We walked into the main house. Everyone else was already here; vampires were much faster than even Alice's Porsche.
"Too you long enough!" Emmett boomed from the couch.
"Hey, we have a baby!" Jacob said smiling.
"Excuses, excuses…"
We sat on the couch and watched some TV with Jase. I laid my head against Jacob's shoulder and started dozing off.
"Hey can someone give us a ride back to the house? Ness is dozing off and Jase is already asleep." I heard Jacob ask.
"I'm fine…" I mumbled unintelligibly. I heard my mom laugh.
"I'll take them in Nessie's Car so they'll have a vehicle." My mom said.
I felt Jase be taken from my arms and instinctively I reached out for him. "It's okay, he's not going far." Jacob whispered to me while picking me up.
The last thing I remembered was Jacob's warm skin before I succumbed to sleep.
Momma, wake up! "Come on Momma, wakey, wakey!" I opened my eyes to see Jase sitting on my stomach, bouncing up and down smiling. He now looked like an average 5 year old. His hair had grown down a little past his shoulders. "Get up Momma! SpongeBob is on!"
"Which one?" I asked smiling.
"The shoelace one!" He yelled.
"Okay, okay, I'm coming, don't wake up daddy though."
"Okay!" he whisper yelled and crawled off the edge of the bed. I slid out from under the covers and on the floor, then I walked silently out of the room. Jase was on the couch, bouncing up and down on the couch and singing with SpongeBob. "You go over and out, left to right, loopdy loop and you pull em tight, it's like bunny ears on a Christmas bow, lace em up and you're ready to go, loopdy loop and pull and your shoes are lookin' cool!" His singing was so good, much better than silly SpongeBob. I smiled and plopped down on the couch with him. His face lit up as I started singing with him.
"You go over and out, left to right, loopdy loop and you pull em tight, it's like bunny ears on a Christmas bow, lace em up and you're ready to go, loopdy loop and pull and your shoes are lookin' cool!" We sang laughing. He was overly hyper…
"That's because I kinda got into the cabinets…" he said nervously.
"What did you get into young man?" I asked using motherly firmness.
"Well, Alice told me yesterday that there were some sweets, so I looked and…" He hopped off the couch and went to the cabinets. Then like the little monster he was, he jumped up on the counter and opened the cabinet above the stove. My eyes nearly popped out of my head!
The whole thing was filled with boxes of starcrunches, Swiss rolls, fudge rounds, oatmeal cream pies, honeybuns, and… Oreos! I was going to kill Alice! But, not until I ate the Oreos. I slowly got up and went to the cabinet transfixed. "We aren't going to tell your dad about this…" I said grabbing the package of Chocolate double stuffed Oreos and Jase's waist.
"Okay!" Jase quickly grabbed the fudge rounds and shut the door. I carried him and my new snack back to the couch.
"You can't be that hyper or your daddy is going to kill us both… okay?"
He nodded smashing a fudge round into his mouth whole, getting chocolate on the corners of his mouth. I tore open the Oreos and stuffed a few in my mouth. I moaned over the sweetness.
"I'm the only one who's supposed to make you do that…" A whisper said in my ear.
I swallowed the cookies and looked to my right. My husband had caught us! I grinned. "Hey Jake!"
He smiled. "Oreos?"
"Chocolate Double stuffed."
"Where'd you find those?" He was grinning wide, I just noticed he wasn't wearing his shirt.
I looked at Jase and saw him pointing at me, hiding his box behind his back, chocolate was smudged on the corner of his lips. I glared at him and turned back to Jase. "Um…" Just then the door flew up and I heard Alice bound in. "It was her!" I yelled pointing.
Alice stopped. "What did I do?" She asked innocently.
Jacob grabbed my Oreos and it took everything in me not to jump and snatch them from him. He waved them for Alice. "These, and," He reached over behind Jase and took his box of fudge rounds. "These."
Alice grinned. "Oh yea! We stocked a bunch of sweets up! I told Jase about them yesterday."
"There's more?!" He asked astonished. I tried not to laugh but it slipped. He glared at me and looked back to Alice. If I could just jump at the right time…
"Of course!" I flew over the couch, grabbing the package of Oreos. Score!
"Momma!" Jase whined. "You could have grabbed mine too!"
I laughed and walked into the kitchen, Alice and Jacob following. "Sorry, I had to save them…" I replied clutching the mouthwatering cookies to my chest.
I reached the stove and stood on my toes to open the cabinet. "Alice you could have told him this was it!" I complained letting Jacob take in the sight.
"I call the starcrunches!" He yelled jumping and grabbing them, tossing the fudge rounds on the counter in the process. Slyly, I grabbed those and tossed them back to Jase. He squealed with joy and we all laughed.
"So Alice what brings you over here?" I asked.
"I called earlier. Carlisle wanted to see Jase."
"Yea, she woke me up." Jacob said stuffing a starcrunch in his mouth.
"That explains it… Wait till we get cleaned up and we'll be right over."
