Bella's POV:
I woke up and Jacob's head was still in my chest exactly where we fell asleep, and I smiled hearing him snore slightly. I looked over at the time which read 8 am. I turned my head gently and immediately the smell of food downstairs hit me, and I could hear someone cooking downstairs. I scrunched my face confused, I don't know how on earth I was able to smell the food from upstairs with the door closed and everything, it was also a little weird that I could physically hear her cooking, I couldn't hear them talking but I definitely could hear her cooking and people moving around. I felt Jacob start stirring in his sleep, and I turned back to him kissing his forehead and I felt him smile and opened his eyes and reached up and kissed me deeply, and I immediately kissed him back with my hand in his hair. After a minute he pulled away suddenly, and I inwardly groaned because he never went past kissing. "Morning..." He whispered, huskily. I smiled.
"Morning," I whispered, back.
"Just one more day now." He said, laying back down on his side, and I nodded resting my head on his arm. "Oh, and since it still gets dark out quickly, we're having a bonfire tonight with dinner before I go out for a bit with the guys for my bachelor party." I nodded, again.
"That sounds nice."
"Yeah, we haven't had one in a while." He said. I thought for a minute.
"Jacob, can I ask you something again?" I asked, looking down.
"Of course Bella anything, what is it?" He said, still looking down. I sighed.
"Can you smell the food she's making from here, even with the door closed and being so far from the kitchen?" I asked, looking up at him. He made a confused face and nodded.
"Yes, why?"
"And... can you hear them?" I asked. He nodded.
"Yes." And he stopped for a minute turning his head to the side and then looked at me again. "I can hear... Emily cooking, and talking with Sam, I can hear the guys outside messing around, I can hear the kids downstairs sleeping, and people moving around and talking... why?" I shrugged my shoulders.
"I know this sounds crazy... but technically I shouldn't be able to smell anything or hear anything from here right... but... I can smell exactly what she's making... waffles, bacon, eggs-"
"Pancakes, toast, and a fruit bowl." He said, finishing my sentence.
"And I also can hear her cooking, and people moving around... I can't hear anything of what you said, but I can still hear more than I used to be able to..." He stared at me for a minute, and then looked down at my stomach.
"Do you think its..." He said, rubbing his thumb against my stomach gently. I shrugged again.
"Maybe... it's the only thing that makes sense... should we tell Carlisle?" I asked. He nodded.
"I think so... Carlisle said that he was taking everything in for account right now, and that doesn't sound normal..." I nodded. After a few minutes, we got up and went downstairs, and by that time people were already setting up the table, so we walked over and helped. I was really starting to notice how much of a difference having my growing stomach was. I couldn't sit that close to the table, it was getting uncomfortable a lot of the time. We all ate, and for some reason, I only wanted to have the fresh fruit she made. I was either getting cravings like this, or I would be too nauseous to even look at food. Everyone ate, except for the Cullens, and we all helped clean like usual and then Emily went out with Sam to get food for the bonfire later, and Jake and I took the opportunity to go talk to Carlisle. We went to the private room that we started out in.
"What's wrong?" Carlisle asked, bringing out his notebook and pen.
"No nothings really wrong... I just noticed something different... I seem to be able to smell and hear a lot better than before... not exactly as great as you and Jacob, but still a lot more powerful than a few days ago. I could smell exactly what Emily was making this morning with the doors closed and being so far from the kitchen upstairs, and I could physically hear her cooking and people moving around. Jake said it would be a good idea to tell you because you said that you were taking everything for account right now." I said, and he nodded writing everything down quickly with his speed.
"Anything other out of the ordinary? Like sight, or anything like that?"
"No, I don't think so."
"We were thinking maybe it has to do something with the babies because they are probably carrying some of my genes as a werewolf..." Jacob said.
"Yes, I was just going to mention if that might be a possibility," Carlisle said, writing some more stuff down. "From my knowledge, I think that this would be normal in this kind of case, maybe talk to Emily and ask her if she's having any of those symptoms because she and Sam are expecting and he also has wolf genes, or maybe if she knows something about it. Or even your father Jacob... he seems to be a very wise man. But in the meantime, I will go do some research and get back to you guys." Carlisle said. Jacob nodded, and we all got up and left. Carlisle went to go with the other Cullens to research, and Jake and I went to go find Emily and Billy. Once we found them we all sat on the couches and we asked them about it telling them exactly what we had told Carlisle.
"I don't think I've had those symptoms yet, but it doesn't seem possible that it could have any dangerous or harmful effects to you or the babies, just better smell and hearing," Emily said. "But I think I do remember hearing from my mother from a story one time, that sometimes those type of effects can happen when there are more than just one baby that women carry with wolf genes and something about the difference between a normal wolf in the pack and a chief of a pack..." She continued. I looked up at Jacob.
"Well Jacob became chief yesterday... would that have anything to do with it?" I asked. Emily nodded.
"I mean it sounds accurate to me."
"Yes from everything that I'm hearing from the information you have given us... I think that those are the two reasons why you are getting these symptoms from the babies with Jacob's chief wolf genes. Because there is a very very strong connection between Jacob you and the babies. And as Jacob gets stronger as chief and when you find out the genders, you may experience more powerful symptoms, like sight and touch, or maybe even more complex things like the high body temperature they have." I nodded listening.
"What would the genders have anything to do with these symptoms?" I asked, curiously.
"Well, other than Leah's case, usually only the boys get the exact same genes as the father, and grow into their spirits, and if there are one or two boys that you're having then that might explain why you're getting this. It can be very complicated too, as in if these are the symptoms you're having with only one boy, then it is strong, not as powerful as Jacob's right now, but still more powerful than any ordinary baby. And if you're having two boys then this is also very powerful symptoms." I nodded, listening.
"Yeah that makes sense... would you mind telling that to Carlisle for his research because he asked us to tell him everything so he could take everything for account to make sure everything's ok," I asked, and Billy nodded.
"Yes, of course, Bella," Billy said, kindly, I smiled nodding at him.
"Thank you." After that everyone waited around the house or outside for the bonfire, while Jake and I sat on a swinging chair outside in the sun. I hated how tired I always was, I never did anything anymore, all I did was lay around and sleep, but I had been getting uncontrollably tired all the time, and seem to have dozed off in the sun with Jake's heat until he woke up gently for the bonfire. We got changed because it was getting a little chilly outside. I put on jeans and an old big hoodie one mine that Alice had found while gathering stuff for my bags. Jake just put on his shorts and his hoodie, and we walked down together and sat next to Seth and Paul at the bonfire. At first, Billy started off with these amazing stories, and then they put music on and some people danced, other people talked, while the kids played insight to be safe. Jake and I were slowly dancing like usual with my feet on his with my arms wrapped around his broad shoulders, and he had his arms around me with his face buried in my neck. When the fire went out, all the guys got really excited and started nagging Jake to go out for his bachelor party to hunt. He gave me a tight hug and kissed me.
"Jared will be keeping an eye on the house tonight so you'll be safe, but if anything happens just call me and I'll come right away, alright?" He said, and nodding still hugging him. "Make sure to keep the heat on so you don't get cold." I chuckled, nodding. "I love you Bells, and I'll be waiting for you at the later tomorrow."
"I love you Jacob." I said, and he leaned down kissing me deeply.
"Ok, you guys, you're just saying goodbye for one night... it's not like your never going to see each other again. Hurry up!" Quil said, getting impatient.
"Yeah well take care of him and have him back in time." Pail said. We let go of each other, and he walked to the guys and they all started running towards the forest and disappeared into the darkness. Charlie walked up behind me, and I looked back and we walked back to the cruiser after saying good night to everyone and after Alice gave me a long speech about getting my beauty sleep and how excited she was. Charlie and I got home and he gave me a hug saying goodnight and I went to my room and walked around my room going through everything, and put the heat on as Jacob asked. I finally put on some shorts Alice had left me, and got into bed looking at the dreamcatcher Jake had given me, the heater was nowhere near like Jacob, but it was good enough. And then I looked out the window hearing howling and I smiled. This was really my last night as Isabella Marie Swan. Tomorrow I would Bella Black. And I fell asleep to that thought.
