Chapter 38

POV: Jake

Nessie woke up before me in the morning. I found her making pancakes in the kitchen. She did not notice me. It gave me an opportunity to watch her without her seeing me.

She had flour in her hair. Spinning around the room dancing as she put the pancakes on the grill. The music she had one was in french. Her voice hit all the notes as she sang along.

I walked behind her. Slipping my hands around her.

"Oh." She gasped. Turning around in my arms.

"Good morning beautiful" I said.

"Good morning Jake" She said kissing me. "I am making pancakes." She kissed me again.

"Correction you are burning pancakes." I laughed. She spun around looking at the burnt pancakes on the grill. Little plumes of black smoke escaping from underneath them.

"Oh no!" She exclaimed scrapping the burnt pancakes into a garbage bag. "I was doing so good before you distracted me." Nessie looked defeated.

"Sorry" I laughed. Scooping more pancakes on the grill. I watched and flipped them on time. Ness started juicing oranges. "Are we having a fancy breakfast?" I asked.

"No. I just. Well. I feel fancy after last night. The wedding the dancing. I thought I wanted to do something really sweet for you." a blush appeared on Nessies cheeks.

"Well aren't you the sweetest" I told her.

I placed the pancakes on a plate and she put the orange juice in front of them. Sitting down on one of the chairs. Ness climbed and sat on my lap. Cuddling into me as she ate her pancakes. This is the best way to eat breakfast.

"I have the day off patrol today" I told Ness.

"Oh does that mean we get the full day to ourselves?" She asked.

"I think it does" I kissed her cheek.

We finished eating and I volunteered to clean up. It was only fair. Ness came out of our bedroom half dressed.

"Do we have any plans for lunch?" She asked.

"No. I think we are free" I told her. Enjoying the view.

"Can we go to Grandpa Charlies and Grandma Sue's for lunch?" She asked.

"Sure that sounds like fun" I smiled at her. She skipped into the bedroom.

I had just finished cleaning the kitchen when I heard a car drive up the driveway. Walking over I unlocked the front door. Opening it I saw my sister Rebecca getting out of her car.

"Hey Bec" I called.

"Jake. I made a huge mistake" She said walking up to the house.

"Come inside. Lets chat"I said. I opened the door wide for her. She entered our tiny house. Choosing to sit in the armchair.

"Are we alone?" She asked.

"Um. No. Ness. I mean Renesmee is in the other room getting ready" I told her. It felt a bit weird saying that. I know my sister is aware that I am dating Nessie. She took over as my mother when I was young. I wonder what it would have been like admitting to my mom that I am living with a girl. My memories of her has become less clear over time. It still hurt my dad to this day, so he did not talk about her much.

"Jake. What is going on with you. Your voice sounds scrambled like when you admitted to stealing dads beers. Do you remember that? Rachel and I had to cover for you. Well Quil, Embry and you to be exact." Rebecca asked.

"Oh I remember. Rachel made me a list of chores a mile long. You only made me help you cook for that week" I told her.

"And I made you undercooked eggs the next morning." She admitted. A smile spreading across her face.

"What why did you do that?" I asked. Remembering the slimy texture. My stomach had been wanting to hurl all the beer up. I had lasted until morning fighting through the nausea. Then Rebecca placed slimy, lumpy eggs in front of me. My stomach turned just thinking about it.

"As payback. The undercooked eggs made you vomit." She said smiling.

"Payback for what?" I asked.

"Payback for me taking the punishment." She said. "Dad would have lost a gasket if he found out you had taken the beers. So I got some friends to bootleg me some. Of course our friendly neighborhood sheriff definitely noticed me parked outside the liquor store. He escorted me home. Lucky for me I had already had one case in the back of my car. Charlie did not search it so I was able to replace the majority of beers you boys took."

"Wow. I did not know" I told her sitting on the couch. "I can not believe you let Charlie bust you." I laughed.

"Dad had me under his thumb for about two weeks after that." Rebecca commented. "He even made a comment yesterday about how I was allowed to have his beer now."

I laughed. "Wow. From my perspective that happened a lot differently" I commented.

"You where a dumb pre-teen who was drunk. Of course you remember it differently." Rebecca laughed.

"Well tell me when I can pay you back then" I laughed.

"Um. Jake. I made a mistake last night" Rebecca's face filled with a blush.

"Oh?" I asked. I did not want to assume that what Nessie told me last night was her mistake.

"I cheated on my husband." She whispered. I did not know how to respond. I must have looked like a floundering fish. "I know we do not usually talk about this stuff" Rebecca told me. "I would have called Rachel but, she is on her honeymoon."

"I get that." I said. "I just I don't know what to say."

"Am I a horrible person?" Rebecca asked.

"Um No. I would not say you are." I told her.

"Have you ever cheated on Ren?" Rebecca asked. I heard the bedroom door open. Looking over I saw Ness standing in the door frame. There was no doubt in my mind that she heard our entire conversation up to this point.

"No I have not" I said. Looking between my sister and Nessie.

"Well he did kiss someone." Nessie commented. Coming to sit on the arm of the couch.

"How did you know who you wanted to be with?" Rebecca asked me.

"I honestly just felt a pull to be with her" I told Rebecca.

"Well I am married to one and feel a pull to the other. What do I do?" Rebecca asked.

"Are you in love with your husband?" Nessie asked.

"I was. We have been going through some hard times right now. We have been trying to have a baby. He is blaming me for us not being able to conceive." Rebecca told us.

"Are you kidding me?" I asked

"Well he really wants a child to teach to surf. Wanting children has ruined our relationship. We hardly talk and now we are getting into fights so often" Rebecca told us.

"Who are you thinking of being with that is not your husband?" Ness asked. Her voice kept any clue that she already knew out of her voice.

"I slept with Collin last night" Rebecca said.

"Congratulations!" Ness cheered "Collin is an amazing guy"

"Yeah but I am married. I do not think anyone would want to be with me if I am known as a cheater" Rebecca told Ness.

"I think instead of calling yourself a cheater I would consider you someone who follows their heart." Nessie smilled.

"Thank you. I was so worried people would judge me" Rebecca said. "You know what I will talk to my husband and work on sorting out my feelings"

Rebecca stood. "Well just so you know. We are always here for you." I told her. Standing I gave her a hug.

"We have a spare room you could move right in." Nessie hugged her.

"Thank you both." Rebecca said.

I walked her out to her car.

"Jake. You have someone special in that girl" Rebecca said. "Please do not let anything happen to that one. I really look forward to having a little sister"

I watched Rebecca drive down the road.

A caramel coloured wolf stood in the forest watching the car drive away. I knew that Colin would take good care of my sister. If only she wanted him to. It is still her decision. Not all imprints become romantic. Some just serve as protectors over their mates never to be anything more.
