Okay, lovelies. LEMON ALERT. This one is a bit short but the last one was a bit longer. *shrug. Don't forget to review XO

Over the next week, things remained busy. Bella had multiple doctor appointments. Jake had insisted on going to each, hovering like a nervous mama hen. She was annoyed as hell when he told her doctor she had passed out after receiving distressing news. She damn near threw a Renee-sized fit when she was ordered to rest. She could still help cook sometimes as long as she did it from a chair. Bella had waddled angrily out to her truck afterward and refused to speak to Jacob the whole way home. He had silently followed her inside and walked past her toward their bedroom. Bella made her way to the closet, ready to put on something more comfortable. She cussed in frustration when she couldn't reach a pair of leggings on the closet shelf. Without a word, Jacob walked over and handed them to her.
"Thanks," she muttered, and he grinned.
"You still mad at me?" he asked.
"Yes," she said. "You totally threw me under the bus in there." Jacob faced her with his hands on her shoulders. He stuck his bottom lip out in a pout.
"Don't with the puppy dog face," she warned, biting back her grin. "Seriously, Jacob. I've been doing really well."
"If you would just admit that your blood pressure today was too high and that you're on your feet too much, I'll admit that I threw you under the bus," Jacob said and grinned.
"You're such an ass," she said, walking over to the bed to change.
God forbid I try to put leggings on while standing these days, she thought. She could barely see her feet. Bella huffed as she tried to lift her foot to remove her shoe, and Jacob chuckled. "Still being an ass," she grumbled.
Jacob walked over and kneeled. He removed her shoe and lifted her leg, kissing the top of her foot. He repeated the process with her other foot, wagging his eyebrows at her.
"Getting awfully fresh for someone in the doghouse," she teased him.
Jacob chuckled and said, "Oh? Does this mean I have to sleep at the foot of the bed tonight?"
"Outside. Whatever," Bella said as she stood to shimmy out of her pants. Jacob stood up and walked to the door. Instead of leaving the room as she'd assumed, he surprised her by locking the door. When she turned to look at him, he was grinning at her mischievously.
It was the look she knew all too well.
Lust slammed her like a brick, dampening her panties and making her heart race.
Fucking hormones.
Jacob strode to her side and lifted her, laying her gently on the bed.
"Jacob Ephriam," she warned, though she couldn't help but grin up at him. She sucked in her breath as he leaned over her, bringing his lips to her ear.
"Miss Swan," he whispered and nipped at her earlobe.
"This is why you want me on bed rest, isn't it," she teased. "You're just gonna hump my leg until I give birth now, aren't you?"
Jacob couldn't contain his laughter. He stood and walked to the end of the bed, grabbing her pants at the ankles. He tugged them off and tickled her foot, chuckling. Bella huffed as she grinned up at him.
"You put me on my back. I'll never get up by myself," Bella said. Jacob helped her to sit up and pulled off her shirt. "Are you going to do this until we're like fifty? Undressing me and stuff?"
"More like eighty," he said, grinning as he leaned down to kiss her. "Do you want to take a bath?"
Bella huffed again. Damn it, he knows me too well. "Yes," she grumbled. He smirked at her and stepped into the bathroom to begin filling the tub for her. She stood and walked toward the bathroom, reaching up to unclasp her bra as she did so. Again, Jacob kneeled to help her keep her balance while she kicked her panties off and then helped her carefully climb into the tub. She hummed happily as the hot water immediately began to relax her tense muscles.
"Yell for me when you need me," Jacob said before unlocking the bedroom door and leaving the room.
She was able to get out of the tub on her own and get dressed. She slowly made her way into the kitchen to find Jacob cooking dinner. He gave her a big smile as she sat down.
"It smells amazing in here," she said.
"I, uh, stole one of your grandma Swans recipes," he said. "Decided to make that potato casserole we made the first Christmas after you moved back. I did not add the salt," he added before she could ask. "And, uh, I made my mom's meatloaf. Green beans, too."
"That's really great, Jake. I appreciate it," Bella said.
"You know I'm not trying to step on your toes or drive you crazy, right?" he asked as he checked on the casserole.
"And you know how important independence is to me, right?" Bella asked him.
"Bella? Baby? It is just a couple of weeks. Please just listen to the doctor for a couple of weeks and take it easy," Jacob asked. "Let me help out with some shit. Paul's place opens tomorrow. Angie will be busy waitressing. Emily can cook for the boys, and I can cook for Billy. You can help, too. The doctor said so, right? You can sit right where you're at now and help without being on your feet."
"I will do my best to do less if you stop hovering, Jacob Ephriam," she said. "If you keep this shit up, by the time Sarah gets here, you really will be in wolf form at the end of the bed. I'll be lucky to get any doctor near my vagina to get her out, let alone Rose and Carlisle."
"Are you sure you want Carlisle to deliver her, Bella? Really, absolutely sure," Jacob asked.
"Carlisle has seen me at some of my worst moments, Jake. You too," she reminded him. "I trust him implicitly. Besides, his hands are cold, and from what I hear, my crotch is going to feel like it's on fire," Bella grumbled.
"Woah. Babe. Too much," Jacob said, cringing. "I can't … I'm going to have to wait outside, aren't I?" he asked and chuckled.
"Uh, yeah, you might," Bella said seriously. "You can't eat my doctor, and I'll probably be screaming about your daughter having her father's giant fucking head."
"Your filter is fully off tonight, isn't it, honey?" Jacob asked. She sighed.
"We need to start a swear jar, or her first word is going to be fuck, Jacob," Bella grumbled.
"Somehow, hearing you yell 'fudge me' at night doesn't quite seem as appealing," Jacob said, cackling.
"Someone said fudge," Angie said as she entered the kitchen. "Woah. Damn. Jacob cooking. That's hot."
"We are full tilt tonight. Is it a full moon?" Jacob asked, rolling his eyes.
Angie grabbed a bottle of water out of the fridge and sat down. "What did I miss? How was the appointment?"
Bella glared at the back of Jacob's head.
"That well, huh? He told on you, didn't he?" Angie asked.
"You know he did," Bella grumbled. "I'm a gnat's ass away from bed-bound."
Angie chuckled. "I get a new sonogram next week. Hope we find out what it is."
"Boy," Jacob yelled, laughing.
"Boy," Embry yelled, the screen door slamming behind him as he walked into the kitchen. He sat down next to Angie and snatched her water.
"I gotta put a goddamned spring on that door," Bella said. "Y'all are the loudest motherfuckers."
"Oh shit, guys, her six months living in Tennessee is coming out," Jacob joked. Bella stuck her tongue out at him and scowled.
"Just wait until this baby pops out. Imma gonna whoop you both," Bella challenged, laughing.
"That's hot. Can I watch?" Angie asked.
"Embry, will you please go fuck your girlfriend?" Bella asked. Embry sputtered, spitting water in surprise. Jacob was laughing so hard, he couldn't stop shaking to get dinner out of the oven.
"You're gonna burn it," Bella warned, straight-faced as the others tried to contain their laughter.
"The filter is gone, Jake. I don't know if we can come back from this one," Embry said as he walked over to pull the pans from the oven. Jacob was out of breath, leaning against the cabinets on the kitchen floor.
"I love it," Jacob said, still chuckling. "I never know for sure what to expect. She always surprises me." He gave Bella a dazzling smile. She sighed.
"Fine, Jacob. You win this one. Only because you're too damn cute to stay mad at," Bella said.
"Like a puppy," Angie said as she got up and stepped over Jacob. "Laying in the floor like a puppy, too. Get up, Pooch. I'm hungry."
"Hey, hey. Pooch made dinner, thank you," Jacob said as he stood up.
Embry said, "I hope there's no dog hair in it."
Bella asked, "Serious question, Embry. Have you ever licked your own ass just to see if you could?"
Angie pushed a laughing Jacob toward the table as he wiped tears from his face.
"Go sit down. You're useless to me right now," Angela teased and went back to making plates for them all.
"I can't wait to show this shit to Paul," Jacob groaned as he sat down.

They managed to settle down enough to eat. Bella didn't give a damn about anything but her grandma's potato casserole, grinning happily afterward as she rubbed her belly. Angela offered to clean up, and Jacob led Bella to their bedroom. He locked the door and flipped on his radio before kicking off his jeans.
Bella asked, "Don't you have patrol tonight?"
"Not for a couple of hours," Jacob said. "Was kind of hoping to take a nap until then, if you're okay with that."
Bella flipped out the light. She pulled off her leggings and crawled into bed next to him. Jacob sighed as he wrapped his arm around her waist, his hand spread across her belly.
"What do you think she's going to be like," he asked, lifting his hand to brush her hair away from her neck. He leaned down to kiss her neck and again behind her ear.
"I think she's going to be a dancer," Bella said, chuckling. "That's probably why she won't sleep at night. The radio is on."
"It's a real damn shame we didn't actually consider that, well, you know …" Jacob laughed.
"Months ago?" Bella finished. "Yeah. No kidding."
"I love you, Bells," Jacob said, kissing her temple. She leaned back into him, seeking his heat as she always did eventually.
"I love you, too. I hope Sarah is like you," Bella said. "Even when you drive me crazy. I hope she's just like you."
Jacob slid his hand down her side, stopping to cup her ass cheek before sliding his hand back up her body again.
"You said, nap, sir," Bella said, smirking.
"Oh, there's time for a nap," he chuckled, moving his hand between her thighs. Jacob leaned down to lightly suck on her neck. He had been careful to not leave any marks since the bruising incident.
"When I'm not pregnant anymore, I fully expect you to put that mark back," Bella moaned, and he growled. Jacob sat up to shimmy her underwear down her legs before laying back down behind her. Jacob explored along her body as he spooned against her backside. He placed kisses down the back of her neck and shoulder, rubbing across her swollen belly before brushing his hand against the underside of her breasts. Jacob turned her toward him to kiss her as he reached down to rub between her legs.
"God, yes, Jacob," she whimpered. Jacob growled as he pushed his fingers inside of her warm, wet center. Bella moaned as she attempted to press closer against him still. Jacob reached down to stroke himself a couple of times before lifting her leg. Bella cried out as he slowly pushed himself into her from behind. His thrusts, as first, were torturously slow. He hooked his elbow under her knee, bending her slightly forward. They both cried out again as the sensation changed, and Jacob picked up his pace.
"Fuck, yes," she grunted, yanking her pillow toward her face and biting down to muffle her cries. Jacob picked up his pace again. Bella's thighs were trembling, and she could feel him about to climax. Bella let go of her pillow, gasping for air as she reached down to stimulate herself.
"Yes, baby," Jacob said, watching her rub between her legs. Bella cried out as she shook with the force of her orgasm, pulling him with her over the edge.
Jacob slowly pulled out of her, placing more kisses along the back of her neck.
"So," she said between breaths as they both lay panting afterward, "you gonna do this 'till we're eighty, too?"
Jacob leaned down to kiss her and grinned as he rolled to his back. "Absolutely."
