Jacob and Edward were about two feet from the bathroom, when Edward put his arm on Jacob's bicep to stop him from going any future.
"What?" Jacob asked turning around to look at Edward.
"I want you to close your eyes and don't peek!" Edward said making sure that Jacob understood what he wanted.
"Why? It's just the bathroom," Jacob said not sure what could be so important that he couldn't see the bathroom.
Yes, he would admit that he didn't know what was going on. He thought maybe Edward was going to show him the nursery, but that didn't seem to be the case since they had passed the room that was going to be theirs.
"Because there's something that I want to show you. Something that I think will help with your back and stomach problems," Edward said.
"Back and stomach problems?" Jacob asked not sure what Edward was talking about.
"Carlisle and I saw how jumpy you were when he touched your stomach. He thought that if you were to soak in the tub, you may not be so jumpy," Edward said.
"I'm not jumpy," Jacob said.
"Really? Then why did you jump both times Carlisle touched you?" Edward asked.
"Because his hands were ice cold," Jacob said.
"I would believe you if you weren't part werewolf meaning that your body temp runs warmer then a normal human's does," Edward said.
"If you think that I'm going to go in there and have a soak, no thanks. I'll just soak when I get home," Jacob said.
"Just for once in your life, would you just shut up and close your eyes like someone asks?" Edward asked.
"Fine," Jacob said not liking to being told what to do.
"Thank you," Edward said putting one hand over Jacob's eyes and the other on Jacob's bicep so he could lead Jacob into the bathroom.
Bathroom
When they got into the bathroom, Edward positioned Jacob in front of the tub.
"Ok, you can open your eyes," Edward said removing his hand from Jacob's eyes.
Jacob admitted that when he first opened his eyes, he was expecting to just see the claw tub that he knew was there. However, what he saw totally blew his mind away. Where the claw tub had once stood, there was now a world pool tub that was surrounded by garnet.
"Wow! But when did you do this?" Jacob asked noticing that the whole bathroom had, had a make-over since he's seen it about a week or two weeks ago.
"Two weeks ago," Edward asked.
"Why?" Jacob asked.
"Why what?" Edward asked not sure exactly what he was talking about.
"Why did you do it? I mean I know it had to cost a fortune to re-do this whole bathroom," Jacob said.
"Carlisle had the bathroom re-done because it was time for a make over. The bathroom was looking pretty bad," Edward said not being able to look Jacob in the eye and tell him the real reason behind it.
"Bull! The bathroom didn't need to be re-done! It was already good enough as it was! Wait, please tell me that you didn't do it for the reason that I think you did," Jacob said.
"What are you talking about?" Edward asked not sure if he really wanted to know or not.
"You didn't make Carlisle re-do this bathroom and put in a tub that you KNOW would help me relax just because I'm pregnant with your child," Jacob said having a feeling that, that's exactly why it was re-done.
"Its children but no I didn't," Edward said not looking Jacob in the eye.
"YOU DID!" Jacob exclaimed.
"Did not," Edward said.
"Did too," Jacob said.
"Not," Edward said.
"Did," Jacob said.
"Fine, it was re-done because we knew the bath tub would help you with the back pains and such. However, I didn't ask him to re-do it, Alice is the one that came up with the idea. I just helped pick stuff out for the bathroom," Edward said happy for not for the first time that he couldn't blush anymore. He knew that if he could, that he would be right now.
"Thank you, but I don't get why she wanted it done now. I mean it's not like after the twins are born that I'll have time to be soaking in tubs or anything like that," Jacob said.
"Alice also did it because she's hoping that the twins won't be the only children. She's hoping that we'll have more children to give the twins siblings," Edward said.
"Does she know that it's twins?" Jacob asked raising an eyebrow.
"No, she doesn't know that they're twins. Still she's hoping that we'll have more children. Trust me, if Alice has her way, we'll be having at least five if not more children," Edward said.
"Does she realize that I can't have more children after them?" Jacob asked forgetting that he hadn't told Edward this yet.
"What?" Edward asked not having been informed of this.
"Nothing, thanks for showing me the bath tub. I think I'll just get the water running and get in," Jacob said intending to go around Edward but found the path blocked.
"Jacob, what's this about not having more children after the twins?" Edward asked crossing his arms over his chest.
"Nothing! Just drop it! Or I'm leaving and going home where I can get some peace and quiet," Jacob said.
"Fine, I'll leave you alone, but we'll be talking after words," Edward said moving to start the water in the tub.
"Thanks," Jacob said.
After Edward got the water filled up with bubbles and the jets going he went to leave before finding a hand on his bicep.
"Yes?" Edward asked raising an eyebrow while looking up at Jacob's face.
"Got a favor to ask," Jacob said blushing red.
"Yeah?" Edward asked.
"Seeing as there's not a hand rail, can you help me in so I don't slip in?" Jacob asked still not looking up at Edward.
"You won't slip, there's a grip in the tub so you can't," Edward said.
"Fine, but if I slip I'm telling Alice it's your fault," Jacob said.
"You would, you brat," Edward said without any real bit behind his words.
"Jerk," Jacob said under his breath.
"So how do you want to do this then?" Edward asked.
"I figured that you would just turn around and close your eyes. When I'm undressed, then I'll have you help me in while you keep your eyes closed," Jacob said.
"Ok," Edward said doing just that.
"Ok, I'm ready for you to help me," Jacob said feeling his heart starting to race.
"Hey, it's ok. I'm not going to look. Calm down," Edward said facing Jacob with his eyes closed.
After Edward helped Jacob get into the tub and seated in the tub, he was about to leave before finding Jacob's wet hand on his arm again.
"Yes?" Edward asked looking at Jacob this time his eyes were opened.
Since he had just planned on leaving the bathroom, he had re-opened his eyes so he could see where he was going.
"Can…can you stay?" Jacob asked not looking at Edward.
"Are you sure?" Edward asked not wanting to get his hopes up and then get them dashed.
"Yeah otherwise I wouldn't have asked," Jacob said.
"Ok, I'll just sit over here on the toilet seat," Edward said.
"Actually, I thought you could just sit on the floor by the tub. Just kick my clothes out of the way," Jacob said.
"Ok," Edward said kindly moving Jacob's clothes to the toilet seat and took a seat by the tub.
"How's the jets? Do I need to lower them for you?" Edward asked standing up to do so if he needed to.
"Touch them and loose an arm," Jacob said grabbing Edward's arm again.
"Ok," Edward said sitting back down.
This time when he sat down, he brought his legs up to his chest and put both arms over his legs.
They sat in silence like that for awhile before Edward had to ask the burning question.
"Jacob?" Edward asked looking over to see that Jacob had his eyes closed.
"Yeah?" Jacob asked opening his eyes and looking lazily over at Edward.
"Can I ask you a question that's been bothering me for awhile?" Edward asked.
"Can I not answer if I don't want to?" Jacob asked.
"Yeah, why wouldn't you be able to?" Edward asked looking over at Jacob.
"I don't know. I was only asking," Jacob said.
"Oh, well anyhow I was wondering, why did you jump today when Carlisle touched you?" Edward asked.
"You just had to ask the one question I don't want to answer, didn't you?" Jacob asked.
"What's wrong with answering that question?" Edward asked.
"Because it's stupid and you'll laugh at me for it," Jacob said.
"Jacob, I'm not going to laugh at you for anything you have to say to me. There's nothing you can say to me that'll make me think it's stupid," Edward said now sitting so he was facing Jacob.
"Oh, I don't know if that's true," Jacob said.
"Try me," Edward said.
"Fine, but if you laugh I'll make sure that you'll never have another child for long as you live," Jacob said.
"If you can't have more kids, who says that I can?" Edward asked raising an eyebrow.
Instead of answering, Jacob just dismissed Edward with a wave of his hand.
"Fine, here it goes. I had a nightmare that shook me up more then I wish it had. It's no big deal. So what? I was a little jumpy, that's all," Jacob said trying to beat around the bush and not have to tell the full story.
"What was this nightmare about? Did it have something to do with Carlisle?" Edward asked.
"Him and you," Jacob mumbled.
"You had a dream about me?" Edward asked not sure how exactly he felt about that.
"Not in a good way. So don't think it was some great dream with you in it," Jacob said.
"Why, what happened?" Edward asked.
"It doesn't matter," Jacob said.
"Please, tell me so I can help you," Edward said putting his hand on the arm that was out of the bath tub.
"Remember after the funeral we went into the woods and fought?" Jacob asked turning red in the face.
"I don't think we'll forget very soon," Edward said smiling lovely at Jacob's eight and a half month pregnant stomach.
"Yeah, I would hope not," Jacob said rubbing his stomach and smiling when he felt one of the twins starting to kick.
"Anyhow?" Edward asked.
"Anyhow, in the first…" Jacob started to say before Edward interrupted him.
"First? How many nightmares have you had since I saw you last?" Edward asked not sure if he wanted to know for sure.
"To answer your question, I've had about three, maybe four depending on how you want to put it," Jacob said like it was nothing at all.
"WHAT? You've had three maybe four nightmares in three days and didn't bother to pick up the phone and call Carlisle?" Edward asked happy that his eyes couldn't really bulge out of his head; otherwise he was sure that they would be right now.
"What was he going to do? You can't stop nightmares, you just have to live with them," Jacob said.
"Jacob, you should have called Carlisle after the second night. He could have given you something to help you sleep better," Edward said.
"Hey, it's no big deal. Now do you want to hear this or not?" Jacob asked.
"Yes, I want to hear it," Edward said.
"Ok, like I was saying the first nightmare I awoke at my father's house and I wasn't pregnant anymore. Of course I freaked out, so I went in search of my father to ask him what was going on. I found him in the kitchen. The right side of his face was missing and he had a scare that ran the length of his neck. Not knowing what else to do, I ran here. Alice and your father were the only two left. I asked them what was going on and they told me that I killed you, so they killed my family. Both Alice and Carlisle said that they would never want me as a part of their family. Then Bella came down and told me that this is why the twins were created," Jacob said not finishing what she told him.
"What else did she tell you?" Edward asked knowing that there was something else to this.
"Nothing," Jacob said.
"Jacob, please tell me what else she told you," Edward said lifting Jacob's chin so they were looking each other eye to eye.
"S-ss-she said that I didn't want the twins. I mean I know that I didn't in the beginning but now that things have gone on, I want them! She also said that if it came down to it, that I would save myself over them. It's not true! I love them and would die for them!" Jacob said crying by the time he was finished talking.
"She said what?" Edward asked seeing red.
"Please don't make me repeat it," Jacob said feeling really stupid for crying when he knew that Bella was a bitch and just acting like it. He knew that he shouldn't have let it bother him so badly, but it did.
"I'll kill her," Edward said meaning it.
"NO! It doesn't matter, I shouldn't have let it bother me the way it did," Jacob said.
"No, you have every right to be bothered by it! She had no right to say something like that to you! So what if you didn't want the twins in the beginning? No one should have expected you to be right on board with it! You're a seventeen year old who had learned not even a year ago that he was a werewolf. Then you lost your friend and a month after that you find out you're pregnant? Most men would break because of that! Not you! You're the strongest person I know. Because I know if it had been me, I wouldn't have been able to do it like you have. And I know that I haven't made things any easier on you as it is and I'm sorry for that," Edward said now sitting on the rim of the tub.
"You have nothing to be sorry for. I'm the one that's been acting like the spoiled brat this whole time," Jacob said.
"Jacob! You're seventeen years old guy who's pregnant with a vampire's children! I think you earned a little rebelling time!" Edward said not happy that Jacob was putting himself down like he was.
"Thanks," Jacob said blushing because he wasn't used to getting compliments from Edward.
"There's no reason to thank me," Edward said.
"I hope that Carlisle isn't mad at me for acting the way I have been lately," Jacob said.
"Jacob, I've known Carlisle for over 100 years. Over that time, I have never seen him hold a grudge with someone. I don't think that he'll keep one against you. Or if he thinks that he's going to then I'll have something to say to him," Edward said.
"Trust me, if he knew the other nightmares that I had, then he would have a reason to be mad at me," Jacob said.
"What makes you say that?" Edward asked.
"Because the last one, well second to last one took place actually in the woods. Again he told me that he would never want me as part of his family. Oh also that if I was pregnant with a child of yours. He would make sure that both of us died before the child could be born," Jacob said.
"Do you seriously hate my family?" Edward asked.
"What? NO! I can't help what my nightmares consist of!" Jacob exclaimed.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. I know that you can't help it. But can I tell you something?" Edward asked.
"What?" Jacob asked.
"Carlisle doesn't hate you nor the twins. He loves them and can't wait for them to be born. Any time he looks at the ultrasounds, he's always grinning. And he's so excited to be a grandfather. Trust me, he's not unhappy about the twins," Edward said.
"I know, I shouldn't doubt what Alice, Carlisle nor my father think in some nightmare," Jacob said.
"Yeah Alice…wait, your father?" Edward asked not sure if he heard right.
"Yeah, last night's nightmare had him and Charlie in it. My father was telling Charlie that he doesn't want to see me nor the twins again. Oh and how you may turn me and I might be falling for you. But no worries, we talked about it this morning," Jacob said really fast, hoping that Edward wouldn't catch that he had said he might be falling for the vampire.
"Wait, you might be falling for me?" Edward asked raising an eyebrow and smiling.
"No," Jacob said blushing red.
"No, you did say that," Edward said still smiling.
"No, I didn't say it," Jacob said.
"Yes, you did!" Edward said.
"Fine! So what if I did? It's no big deal," Jacob said.
"So if it's no big deal then you won't mind my doing this," Edward said.
Before Jacob could ask what he was talking about, Edward leaned in and kissed him.
Edward didn't know what had gotten into him. He just leaned in and kissed the mother of his children! Before he could pull away though, he found that Jacob's hand was on the back of his head, keeping his head in place. Of course he had to smile into the kiss.
"Air," Jacob said feeling like he was going to pass out from lack of oxygen.
"Sorry," Edward said pulling away from Jacob.
"Don't be, it's just that I do have to breathe still," Jacob said.
"So, you still say you're not falling for me?" Edward asked trying to not smirk but failing miserably.
"Shut up," Jacob said turning red again.
He was starting to have a feeling that he was going to be red in the face the rest of his life before the twins came.
"Are you ready for the second half of your surprise?" Edward asked.
"You mean there's more?" Jacob asked not sure if he could take anymore.
"Well, I need to make sure that you don't go running to Sarah for another rub down," Edward said not believing how dirty he'd made that sound.
"Really? You think that your hands measure up to hers?" Jacob asked raising an eyebrow.
"Well there's only one way to find out," Edward said.
"Hmm," Jacob said.
"So, are you ready to get out?" Edward asked.
"Yeah, I think I'm wringed enough to get out now," Jacob said looking at his hands and seeing they were starting to look like raisins.
"Ok," Edward said standing up and grabbing the towel and holding it up in front of Jacob so that he would be covered.
"Uh, help up would be good," Jacob said.
"If I must," Edward said like it was a big inconvenience to do.
"You must," Jacob said holding his hands out for Edward to take.
Of course both of the boys should have known better. With Jacob's balance being shot, when he got up from the tub instead of standing like he had planned, he fell into Edward so there was only a towel between them.
"Uh, thanks," Jacob said pushing up off Edward and wrapping the towel around him.
"Yeah, I'll be in the room getting ready," Edward said.
"Ok," Jacob said getting out of the tub the rest of the way.
Before Jacob left the bathroom he shut off the jets, started draining the water in the tub and made sure that he didn't leave water lying on the floor where someone could get hurt.
After he was done, he then headed back to the room.
Edward's room
"Where do you want me to lie?" Jacob asked.
"I figured that you could lay on the bed since it's more comfortable. But before you do that, take off your sweats," Edward said.
"Why?" Jacob asked.
"Because it'll be easier for me to rub your calves too," Edward said.
"Fine," Jacob said going over to sit on the bed so he could remove his sweats easier.
"You know, if you keep groaning like that, Alice may come in here to see what's going on," Edward said when Jacob groaned again.
"I'm sorry, I can't help it. This feels soooooooooooo good!" Jacob said not wanting it to ever end.
"So, was that you just telling me that you think I have better hands then Sarah?" Edward asked raising an eyebrow.
"Shut up and get back to work," Jacob said.
"Not until you tell me," Edward said dropping his hands from Jacob's calf.
"Does that answer your question?" Jacob asked releasing Edward's head after kissing him.
"Yeah, that'll work for now," Edward said getting back to work.
By time Edward got to Jacob's back, Jacob himself was already asleep.
Two hours later
"Yeah?" Edward asked opening the door to his room when he heard a knock.
"I was going to let Jacob know that dinner is ready," Carlisle said
"Ok, I'll go wake him and let him know. Thanks," Edward said shutting the door before Carlisle could say anything.
Little did Edward know, but as Carlisle was walking back to the kitchen he had a knowing smile on his face.
