Chapter Thirty Seven - Unexpected News
Rosalie's POV
It was the first weekend of summer break, and Alice and I had every detail of the following 14 days planned out. For several months now, we had been planning to spend a couple weeks at the guys place once school ended. With Alice nearly 19 now, it was hard for her parents to tell her no about spending so much 'alone' time with Jasper. Either way, in the end they were fine with the idea and said they trusted the both of them... like they should.
My parents weren't so keen on the idea though, and it took some serious persuading before they allowed it. To my knowledge, my parents had never found out abut Emmett and I taken our relationship to that next level, but it was pretty obvious that my mother knew something had changed. Because of this, my parents had an awfully tight leash on me lately.
It took pleading from Ally and major convincing from my brother before they gave in and agreed to let me go.
Friday afternoon Alice came over to my place and helped me pack the last of my things for our mini vacation. She was so excited about this, that she already had her stuff packed for the last week now. It took an hour longer than it should have for us to pick out what I needed to bring because of our disagreeing on what we each called 'essentials'. After a few standoffs in my closet and some choice words about a certain pair of heels, we were finally ready to go.
She helped me carry my things downstairs, and after saying bye to my mom we walked everything out to her car. The back seat of the car was already filled with several of her suitcases, so we loaded mine into the trunk.
Once we had been driving for a while and were about ten minutes away from the apartments, I called up Emmett to see if there was anything we needed to pick up on our way in.
"Hey babe, how close are you?"
"Like ten minutes. Me and Ally where just wondering if there was anything we needed to grab before we got there?"
He immediately told me there was nothing he could think of, but I waited as I heard him ask Jasper and then Jacob. He sighed and told me Jake needed to talk to me.
"Hey cuz."
"What do ya want Jake?" I practically laughed
"We got a grill the other day, and I was thinking you could pick up some stuff to fix on it."
"Oh my god, Jake. Please tell me you're not goinganywhere near a grill?" I gasped and looked over at Alice, imaginingall the possible things that could go so very wrong
"I am. I got this cuz, I can handle it."
"Last time I saw you cook was at mom's and you set the stove on fire while boiling water."
"That was one time. Have a little faith Rosie."
I took a minute to think about it before sighing and giving in, "Okay fine. You can grill, but only if you have supervision while doing so."
"Sure, sure. Deal. Now get some meat dammit."
"Alright. Tell Em we'll be there in a little while."
"Okay. Later."
I hung up the phone and filled Alice in on Jacob's plan to quite literally play with fire. She had about the same reaction as me, but we still wound up at the store getting the necessary items needed for this suicide mission Jake had planned.
When Alice pulled up, Emmett was already downstairs and waiting for us. He came over to the car and greeted us before helping to carry Alice and my things, along with the groceries.
"I cannot believe you bought a damn grill Emmett. That's like giving a baby a knife." Alice scolded her brother while we got into the elevator
"It'll be okay Ally. I'll be right there, nothing is going to happen." Emmett turned back to me and rolled his eyes
"Yeah, we'll see." she huffed as the doors opened and she walked into the hall
Emmett and I followed Alice into the apartment and watched as she ran off and started to squeal once she had obviously found Jasper. Em and I set everything down and started to put the groceries away.
"Ya! My girlie's are finally here." Jane came walking out from the hall where Jacob's room is and came straight for me with her arms open
"Hey girl." I smiled and gave her a hug
"It's gonna be great to have you guys here. I think being around Jake for long periods of time has jacked up my IQ." she chuckled
"Hey cuz." Jake came around the corner, following the same path as Jane had
"Hey Jakey."
"I'm seriously hungry, so I'm gonna start on all this." he said as he took out the various meats Alice and I had gotten
I looked back at Emmett, dumbfounded when he didn't follow Jake out to the deck.
"Well go on. Keep an eye on him."
"Going." he shook his head and chuckled, kissing me on the cheek as he passed
Once everyone had cleared the area except for Jane and I, she started taking various things out of the cabinets and refrigerator.
"Wanna help me make some other stuff?"
"Sure. What you gonna make?"
"I've been craving mashed potatoes for some reason, so definitely them." she laughed
"Sounds good." her and I started on a the potatoes, along with a few other things, Alice joining to help only a few minutes later.
After a while, Alice started setting the table and I went to pour everyone something to drink.
"What are you doing leaving him alone Em? Are you mental?" Alice shrieked when Emmett walked by
"I have to pee Alice. Jake will be fine." he huffed and continued towards his room
I chuckled and went back to helping Jane bring out everything to the table. Jasper came in and sat down, with Alice sitting to his right.
"Okay peeps, it's done." Jake's booming voice got all of our attention as he came around the corner with a plate in hand
"Awesome." Emmett came and sat down, with me then sitting between him and Alice.
Jake set the plate down in the middle of the table before him and Jane sat down last.
"Oh my gosh." Alice gasped
"No shit dude. That looks like it was done an hour ago." Jasper sighed from the sight of the charred mess
"So I kinda turned the heat up instead of down."
"Ya think?" Alice shook her head
"It's still edible, so don't have a fit Ally." he defended himself and his scorched food
Everyone quieted down and began to dish up and eat, and I was immediately thankful for everything extra Jane, Alice and I had made. I noticed that only the human garbage disposals, Emmett and Jake, where brave enough to eat the crap Jake had created.
"Quit stealing food off my plate Janie." out of nowhere Jake exclaimed and attempted to stab Jane's hand with his fork
"Stop being a child and share dammit." she laughed before being able to steal a bite
"Geeze woman, you eat more than me."
"I do not... and don't call me woman like that." she held up her own fork and threatened
"Brat." he laughed
"Jerk." she smirked
Babe and honey just weren't the kind of pet names you ever heard Jane and Jake call each other, and Jerk or brat were tame compared to what you could normally hear them calling one another. You simply couldn't help but laugh watching the two of them interact, it was just too entertaining.
After Jake and Emmett had finished off everything, with the help of Janie, everyone went to the living room. Jasper and Alice straightened up the kitchen some before joining us.
"How about a movie?" Jane asked from where she stood looking through the guys DVD collection
"As long as it doesn't have alot of bloody violence in it, that would be cool." I spoke up
"If you're thinking you'll find a chick flick there Jane, you're dead wrong. Those kinda movies are in Jasper's room." Emmett joked and Jasper retaliated by throwing a balled up paper towel at his head
"Better than the movie collection you have hidden Em." Jasper teased back
"No, you're thinking about Jakey boy." Emmett joked and got pretty much everyone including Jake to laugh
Everyone settled down after a while and found spots around the living room to cuddle up and watch the movie. It wasn't some violet movie, but it was an immature comedy that was equally disturbing and had Alice and I cringing here and there. Jane and Jake, who where sprawled out on the floor, thought it was the best thing ever though, and didn't stop laughing the entire time.
Jasper was the first to pass out, the work overload he had been dealing with taking an obvious toll on him. Alice stayed awake and snuggled up to him on the love seat until the movie ended and she too fell asleep.
"I need ice cream." Jane announced as the credits of the movie started
"Hell ya girl, that's what I'm talking about." Jake jumped up and pulled Jane to her feet
"You guys want any?" she looked back and asked Emmett and I
I turned to him and we both smiled, "Chocolate." we said in unison
"Okay, we'll be back in a few." Jake said as him and Jane walked out the front door
It was about an hour later and around midnight when we started to wonder what in the world happened to Jake and Jane. Right when I had enough of worrying and was about to call them, they both came walking through the front door.
"Geeze, what took so long?" I asked
"Janie just had to have her favorite flavor, so we wound up driving all over town." Jake teased as he started taking out carton after carton of different ice creams
"Damn, did ya get one of each?" Emmett laughed
"Pretty much. I couldn't decide." Jane chuckled while opening two containers and taking a bite from each
"Yours." Jake came into the living room, handing Emmett and I our chocolate with a spoon
Both of them stayed in the kitchen, sampling from the dozen or so different flavors they had gotten. Sitting and sharing the ice cream with Emmett reminded me of all the times him and I had done this exact same thing over the years.
"Okay, now I'm tired." Jane said after putting away the ice cream they hadn't finished
"That's 'cause the sugar rush hasn't hit ya yet." Jake laughed and Jane nodded while yawning
"Well, I guess I'm gonna head back." she leaned into Jake and said
"No you're not." he chuckled
"Ugh, ya I am?"
"No, you're staying here." Jake hoisted Jane into his arms and walked off towards his room
"Goodnight you guys." she gigged in his arms
"Night you two." I answered back
Emmett's POV
After everyone was either asleep or had left the room, Rose and I decided put on another movie. It was about half way through when I heard her start the soft mumbling that she does when she's fallen asleep.
Just as I was about to get up and carry her to the bed, Alice stirred in her sleep and blinked her eyes open.
"Ughh, he drooled on me." she cringed and wiped at her shoulder, "Guys really are alot like dogs." she sighed and stood up
"You'll live." I chuckled
"If you say so..." she rolled her eyes and started walking towards the hall, "I'm stealing his bed though. The couch, and his drool just ain't working for me."
"Okay sis, see ya tomorrow."
"Luv ya Em." she mumbled the words as she yawned and stumbled into Jasper's bedroom
After a little while, I knew Rose wasn't going to be waking back up anytime soon, so I peeled myself from her hold and picked her up to carry her to my room. She smiled as I carefully laid her down on my bed.
"Don't you dare leave." she smirked but never opened her eyes
"I'm not." I smiled and kissed her on the forehead, "How about losing those jeans? I doubt their very comfortable."
She gave a small chuckled, "Typical... just trying to get into my pants."
"I prefer the girl to be conscious." I grinned, even though she still hadn't opened her eyes
I undid the button on her jeans and started to pull them off, but struggled to get them past her hips.
"Little help baby girl?" I softly asked and she immediately lifted slightly to allow the jeans to easily slid down the rest of the way
I covered her up with the blanket before throwing my shirt off and climbing into the bed next to her. She instantly rolled over and molded herself against my side as I wrapped my arm around her. She looked up, and I with the dim light from my closet I saw her eyes flutter open.
"Love you Emmy."
"Love you more."
Rosalie's POV
I woke up the next morning, or well afternoon, from Emmett basically smothering me. I threw his hand off that was draped across me and started to slide out of the bed. He mumbled and practically pouted before rolling over and hugging his pillow.
I grabbed a pair of his annoyingly big shorts and put them on, tying them as tight as I could around my waist.
I left his room and walked through the living room on my way to the kitchen. I noticed Jasper hadn't budged an inch from last night, but saw that Alice was gone. I turned to check his room for her, figuring she had probably relocated there sometime during the night.
I cracked the door open and instantly saw her face down and sprawled out across the entire bed, still in her clothes from the night before. I shook my head and shut the door, turning around to head back towards the kitchen. I was startled as Jane ran by and into the bathroom across from Jake's room
She had shut the door, but it was still a jar slightly. I went to walk by, but heard her throwing up and stopped.
"Are you okay hon?" I softly asked as I heard the toilet flush
"Ughh... I don't know." she sighed and opened the door before turning the faucet on and brushing her teeth
"Are you sick?" I asked, noticing how pale she looked
"I don't know. It was probably all that ice cream from last night."
"Ahh. Yeah, you're probably right. Can I get you anything?"
She turned and smiled, the color starting to come back to her face, "Nah. I'm okay now. Thanks."
It took several hours before everyone was up, Jake being the last. I did get impatient and woke up Em myself, so who knows how long he would have slept for if I hadn't.
Jasper took Alice somewhere for the evening, some kinda date-ish sorta thing, leaving the other four of us bored at the apartment. One thing everyone knows, is that Jake and boredom should never be mixed. The end result is never pretty.
The four of us settled on going out for the night to some club Jake and Jane had been to before, and that would allow me in as well. It was okay, not really Emmett and my kinda thing, but we still had fun.
It only took an hour of so before Jacob was basically drunk and became our entertainment for the night. While Emmett went out front for a second to answer a call, Jane and I sat at a table in the corner watching Jacob amuse himself on the dance floor.
"He's so immature." Jane leaned close to me so she could talk over the music
"Yeah. But that's just how he is. Even thought we'd never admit it, I don't think any of us would change that part about him." I said and she shrugged her shoulders
"So, why aren't you drinking?" I chuckled and pointed to her soda
"Ehh, not after this morning."
We sat and talked during a few more songs, both looking up when we saw someone walk over and stand to our left.
"Wanna dance?" a fairly tall and blondish, twenty something guy shouted over the music to me
"No thanks." I smiled
"Aww, come on."
"My boyfriend will be back any second." I turned back around and tried to keep my words polite, but I really was in no mood for this
"Well honey, I don't see him here now." the guy grinned as the song that was playing, ended
"Well, you just weren't looking good enough." Emmett walked up and rested an arm on the guys shoulder
"How about you take your hand off me dick, and let this girl do what she wants." the semi drunk guy shot back at Emmett and I watched as he held back from slugging the guy
"I said no in simple English, how did you not understand that?" I questioned, my patience about gone
"Okay. I need you to walk away before I make you." Emmett clenched his teeth and spoke under his breath
"Well fine, how about the other blonde?" he smirked and looked past me to Jane
"Oh hell no. I try and stick to my own species buddy." Jane said matter a fact and took a sip from her drink. I tried not to laugh thinking about Jake, and how out of anyone, he was just about the least human like kid she could have gotten with.
"Geeze, bunch of prudes." the guy spat out
"Watch it douche." Jake stumbled up to the table and join Emmett in the stand off
"Okay, Okay." the guy put his hands up, "I'm going."
After that little incident, we all decided to leave the club and not chance another confrontation. Emmett drove us back to the apartment, while Jake fell in and out of sleep in the back with Jane. We pulled up and noticed Alice's car was parked and knew her and Jasper were already back.
"Get up." Jane said, obviously talking to Jake
Emmet and I got out of the car and waited while she continued to try and wake him up.
"Wake up Jake." she shoved his shoulder
"He took my Lego's mommy." Jane rolled her eyes, obviously not amused with Jake's sleep talking
"First off..." Jane raised her hand, "I'm not you mother... you stupid, stupid, ass." she started punching him in his arm until he sat up and took some karate pose.
"Geeze woman. What's with the hostility?"
"Don't call me that." she pointed and he back away from her a few inches
"Okay, okay." he put his hands up in mock surrender
It took all three of us to help guide Jake back to the apartment and into his bed. Emmett and I left the room as Jane was taking off his shoes, complaining the entire time.
I went to look for Alice, but only found Jasper sitting in the living room. He said she was changing in the bathroom and I waited a couple minutes before she came out in her hot pink pajama bottoms and a shirt.
"Rosie." she smiled
"Hey Ally. Did ya have fun with Jas?"
"Yep, yep. He took us to that little restaurant we went to that one time for my birthday. It was so perfect, but, I'm really tired now."
"Yeah ditto."
"Hey, you two take my bed and then Jasper can have his tonight. I'll crash on the couch." Emmett peeked around the corner of the kitchen and told us
I was about to dismiss his idea when Jasper and Alice both agreed in unison with smirks on their face.
"Fine." I pouted a little and went to hug Emmett goodnight. Alice and I went to his room while Jasper went into his own.
"Ya know Ally, it's really not that big-a-deal to just sleep in the same bed with Jas. That's not breaking any of your rules." I chuckled once we had both laid down and were facing each other
"Oh I know. I wouldn't have a problem with that, I just wanted to have a girls night like old times."
"Oh, you're evil." I laughed thinking about Emmett sleeping on the couch at that moment
"Maybe a little."
The next morning I heard Alice get up, but closed my eyes and tried to go back to sleep. I don't really know if I ever fell back asleep, but heard Alice come back in the room and sit on the edge of the bed next to me.
"Rosie posie." she whispered
"I'm awake Al."
"Jane's sick."
"Wait, again?" I sat up and rubbed my eyes
"Again?" Alice looked confused
"Yeah, she was throwing up yesterday morning."
"Well then she needs to go to the doctor, 'cause she's the same way now."
Both Alice and I got up and went to find Jane. She was just coming out of the bathroom and heading into the living room when we stopped her in the hall way.
"Do you want to go to the doctors?" I asked her
"Yeah, I can drive ya." Alice added
She sighed and ran her hands over her face, "Okay, I need to talk to you guys." she said and had both Alice and I follow her to the back deck
"What is it hon?" Alice questioned her
"I don't think that I'm sick."
"Then what's going on?" I walked over closer to her and asked
"I think... that I'm... pregnant."
"Oh god." Alice gasped and covered her mouth with her hands
"Seriously?"
"Yeah. I'm late and I've been puking every morning for a few days now."
"Shit." Alice gasped again and had us both turn around, shocked to hear her curse
"Have you taken a test or anything?" I asked
"No. I've been hoping it was all in my imagination, but it looks more and more like that's whats wrong."
"And if you are, it's Jake's right?" Alice asked after taking a deep breath
"Yep. That jerk. I feel like I'm in that movie Knocked up."
"Okay." I took a deep breath and decided to take control of the situation. "We're going to the store right now and buying a test so we know for sure. And if you are, then you'll have to tell Jake." I explained and Jane nodded in agreement
The three of us quietly got ready to leave so we wouldn't wake any of the guys. We left and went to the closest drug store we found and bought several different pregnancy tests. We didn't want to get caught by the guys or make them suspicious of what was going on, so we went back to Jane's apartment.
Alice and I paced back and forth down the hall outside of her bathroom for at least 20 minutes before she opened the door and peeked her head out.
"Well?"
"All of them are positive." Jane sighed and rested her head against the door frame
I couldn't help but smile a little at the thought of a little baby, even thought it just didn't seem like Jane felt the same way. Alice was a completely different story, and she seemed like she was taking all this the hardest.
"Don't worry Janie, you got all of us. We love you and we'll be here for whatever you choose to do." I went up to her and just held her as she started to cry just a little
"Jake is gonna shit himself." she finally hiccuped back a few last tears and said
"You are going to tell him right?" Alice double checked and Jane nodded
"This isn't the worst thing that could have happened Jane. I mean, you're almost 23. You two are plenty capable of dealing with this." I assured her and it seemed to calm her down a bit
"I've gotta to tell him. I need to know where his mind is before I can even think about this any more."
"Alright, lets go." I grabbed her hand and we all went back to the guys apartment
We got back and found Emmett still asleep on the couch and Jasper no where to be found, leading us to believe he was still asleep in his room.
Whether is was truly lucky or not, Jake was the only one awake and of course eating something in the kitchen.
"Hey beautiful." Jake called out to Jane and held open his arms for her to give him a hug
Jane immediately looked over at Alice and I questioningly, all of us wondering where his sudden sweetness had come from.
"Can we talk Jake?"
"Oh hell. Are you breaking up with me Janie?" Jake stepped back and asked her
"No, I'm not." she managed a chuckle before her face turned serious again, "It's important though. Can we head to my place for a bit?"
"Ughh, sure." he cocked his head a little and agreed before continuing, "This sandwich is coming with though." he pointed to the half eaten creation in his right hand
Jane softly laughed, "You're such a goof." she then took his hand, pulling him towards the front door
Alice and I smiled as they passed us and left, trying to wish her a silent good luck with the situation. We both sighed after the door closed, knowing this was going to change alot of things, for alot of people. We just didn't know in what ways yet.
A/N: Well, I'm curious to see what you guys think about this little twist in events. But before you get mad, just remember you're beloved Twilight and how in Breaking Dawn, Bella at what 18 or 19 and Eddie at,(technically 17 years old) had Nessie! Jake's 21 now and Jane's almost 23, so this is not that crazy people!! I'm repulsed by the idea of youngins having kids, so that's why I waited so flippin' long to even consider having this issue be a part of this story:)
So yeah, I was totaly worried about taking the story in this direction and I hope I don't get anyone mad because of it. Technically the idea was from a very faithful reviewer, twilightermurff26, so all of you can blame her. lmao. JK. Anyways, I think the way I plan on handling the situation should be good though, just give it a couple chapters to see where I'm going with it:)
It's drama yes, but a different kind. lol. A least I didn't have Rose get knocked up, right? lol.
Oh, and I'm thinking about having the next chapter in Jake's POV, so that should be HELLA entertaining... haha. Lemme know what ya thinkie!!! XoXo Peeps!!!
