Keep your hands to yourself

Jake's POV

It was only about half an hour after Blondie had stormed up the stairs and, me and Nessie were still in the same position; my arms wrapped around her and her head leaning against my chest. Esme had disappeared into the kitchen to make some food so we could celebrate. I thought that was a bit strange considering only Nessie and I would be able to eat it but hey, whatever floats your boat.

Bella had disappeared into the kitchen to help Esme but it still creeped me out how eerily composed she was; like the calm before the storm. I was getting paranoid but who wouldn't if you were in a house full of vampires that had a grudge – huge under-exaggeration – against you?

"Nessie?" Carlisle's voice broke me out of my thoughts and Nessie lifted her head towards him. "I think it would be best if you moved in here so we could monitor you during your pregnancy. If it's going to be anything like Bella's I want to keep you under constant surveillance in case there's any complications."

Shit, I hadn't even thought about that. Would Nessie go through the same pain as Bella had; the risk of the child breaking her bones? What about the birth? Would it be the same as Bella's? If so, what if she didn't survive it? Bella had only survived because Edward fought to save her, to change her. Nessie was already part vampire. Venom wouldn't save her.

I hadn't even noticed I was hyperventilating before Nessie placed her hands on each side of my face, bringing my head down to her height so her eyes were level with mine. "Jake, calm down. Everything will be fine." She said softly and gave me a small smile.

"You don't know that. Anything could happen. Oh God, Alice won't be able to see anything either." I groaned and clenched my eyes shut. Alice may be able to have visions of Nessie – extremely fuzzy and unfocused ones at that – but I would block them completely and I doubt she would be able to see a vision with a vampire/human/wolf hybrid in it.

My heart clenched at the thought of anything happening to Nessie. It was bad enough when Bella was pregnant and I was worried about her but with Nessie, my imprint, it would be so much worse. The dread that flooded my body caused my thoughts to turn panicked as well. She's going to die, she's going to die, she's going to die. The thought reverberated in my mind as my breath came out in short spurts.

"Jacob," A growl from Edward reminded me of his presence. "You think that once more and I start detaching limbs, starting with the organ that created this whole situation." He said, threatening my manhood. I shot Edward a grin over Nessie's shoulder, in an attempt to annoy him, before burying my face in the side of Nessie's neck. I just had to convince myself that everything would be fine, that there was a strong chance Nessie would survive the pregnancy and then the birth of our child. After all, she was incredibly more durable than Bella when she was human. I had to hope that would make a huge impact on it.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Carlisle had suggested that it would be best if we moved in right away so Nessie and I went back to our cottage to pack a bag with a few clothes since the move would not be permanent. Edward insisted that he came with us, not wanting to leave us alone unsupervised. I rolled my eyes at him when he had said that.

I wasn't exactly looking forward to moving in with the Cullens. Being around my in-laws 24/7 was certainly not something I thought I would enjoy. Bella was eerily calm, Edward wasn't letting me and Ness out of his sight, Blondie was still in a huff after what I said even though she deserved it, Alice was completely ecstatic and reminded me of a high energiser bunny, and I had no idea where Jasper was because I hadn't seen him since he came with Edward to beat the crap out of me. So, understandably, I wasn't exactly thrilled with this turn of events.

We walked back through the front door of the Cullen mansion about half an hour later, me carrying both mine and Nessie's bag. She was pregnant and I didn't want her to strain herself. Although, being part vampire that's almost impossible.

Just as we were both about to head in the direction of the stair case Edward appeared in front of us. He pulled Nessie's small bag from me and handed it to her, wrapping his arm around her shoulders and pressing a kiss to the top of her head. "Honey, why don't you go upstairs and unpack in my old room, ok?" He asked with a small smile and gently nudged her in the direction of the stairs.

Nessie glanced back at me before looking warningly at her dad then making her way up the stairs. When she was out of sight Edward turned to me and the smile that had been on his face when he was talking to his daughter automatically turned into a scowl when he looked at me. Lovely.

"Jacob, I am going to set down a few ground rules before you come any further into this house." He stated and I rolled my eyes him, trying to suppress a smirk. He really was taking the over-protective father thing too far. His eyes narrowed at me slightly before continuing. "You will not be sharing a room with my daughter during your stay here and if I catch you in her room, doing anything inappropriate with her you won't live much longer. When in the same room as Nessie you will keep your hands where I can see them and stay at least three feet away from her. I won't hesitate to throw you out of this house if you do anything I have told you not to." He growled at me.

"And I won't hesitate to throw you out of this house if you hurt or insult Jake, again." A familiar voice hissed from the top of the stair case. I looked up to see Nessie with her arms crossed, her posture rigid and a small scowl on her face. She looked absolutely adorable but, the few times I had been on the receiving end of her temper (which wasn't very often), was certainly not pleasant. I almost feel sorry for Edward. Almost.

"Dad, this isn't your house so you can't kick anyone out. We don't have to be here and if you're going be ridiculous then we'll leave." She huffed and marched down the stairs, grabbing my hand and tugging me along behind her. "And he will be sharing the same room as me, he will be allowed within three feet of me. You'll just have to like it or lump it." She growled as we walked past a rather stunned looking Edward.

~*~*~*~*~

A couple of hours later and Nessie and I were sitting together on one of the couches in the living room, watching the TV. I lounged on the couch with Nessie tucked into my side, her head resting again my chest. The moment was perfect. Or at least it would have been if Edward wasn't sitting in the arm chair, intently watching my every move with his dark eyes.

I wrapped my arms tighter around Nessie's waist, my right around going right around her small body and resting on her left hip. I kissed the top of her head softly before returning my attention to the television.

"Black, hands where I can see them." Edward demanded as Nessie had shifted slightly, hiding my hand that had been resting on her hip from view. I held both my hands up in surrender, grinning at him, before dropping them back down to my sides.

I felt Nessie's body shaking with laughter and I glanced down at her just in time to see her stick her tongue out at Edward. The sounds of the television filled the room and I was beginning to get uncomfortable because every time I looked in Edward's direction, he was sitting completely still and his eyes were fixed on us, watching us intensely. I shifted slightly under his gaze and the corner of his mouth pulled up in a smirk. He was deliberately making me uncomfortable.

"Jake, I'm getting a bit thirsty. Could you go out and get something for me, please?" Nessie asked softly, tilting her up towards me. We had decided that it would probably be best if Nessie didn't go out hunting while she was pregnant in case it put strain on her or there was an accident that could damage the baby.

I nodded and untangled myself from her, pulling myself off the couch. "Have anything in particular in mind?" I asked as I kissed the top of her auburn locks, silently thanking her for freeing me of the uncomfortable situation with Edward constantly glaring at me.

"Deer will be fine, thanks." She grinned at me.

"Alright, I won't be gone long." I assured her and went into the kitchen to get some flasks to put the blood in. It would be easier that way, than trying to drag the carcass up to the house for Nessie to feed on.

I slipped off my t-shirt and dumped it just inside the front door of the house along with my shoes – there would be no need for them if I was going to be in wolf for and it would make the phasing easier.

I took off into the woods at a run, pulling off my pants and phasing when I was hidden by the forest. After killing a deer and filling the flasks with blood I made my way back to the house, running up the porch stairs. There was deer blood splattered across my chest and matted in my hair but I'd wash that out as soon as I gave the blood to Nessie.

I walked into the living room as Edward rushed around the couch Nessie was now lying on, fussing over her and asking her repeatedly if she was comfortable enough. She answered, her voice getting more and more annoyed with each questioned asked.

"Dad, I said I'm fine." She said, slapping his hands away as he tried to adjust the blanket he had thrown over her and place a cushion under her head.

"You'd better listen to her, its sounds like she's just about ready to rip your head off." I chuckled and walked further into the room, sitting down on the arm of the couch as Nessie sat up and looked greedily at the flasks in my arms.

I smiled and handed them to her. She pecked my lips before guzzling the blood hungrily. "Jacob, go take a wash and cover yourself up." Edward said, eyeing me and my bare chest with distaste. He glanced at Nessie worriedly, trying to judge her reaction to my half-nakedness. She was too busy drinking to even notice her part naked husband. Psh, figures.

"Sure, sure, Dad." I mocked and jogged out of the room as Edward growled in annoyance.

A/N: thanks for reading!

Anyone want to hazard a guess of the sex of the baby/babies? I have a little surprise about the birth and I bet you can't guess it! Mwahaha!

This probably sounds really weird, and Jacob isnt even one of my favourite characters, but i think the prospect of a shirtless Jacob with blood splattered across his chest quite sexy...or at least it should be for Nessie because blood to vampires is kind of like chocolate to us...well, not really but you get my point. Yummy! :D
