Four and One Half Months:
Caly and I are nine months pregnant and I'm about to lose it. If I don't go into labor right now I think I might die! I'm so big! I can't even see my feet, Jake has to put my shoes on for me. Grandpa says that is should be any day now so I'm on maturity leave at school and watching some stupid MTV reality show with Caly who is in a giant tub of water in her natural mermaid form eating shrimp. I'm drinking a blood shake, who knew ice cream and blood would be so good together?
It's November 30th and there is absolutely nothing to do! "Grandpa? What's something that would help speed up the process of possibly going into labor?" I asked, he was sitting in his chair reading the Daily Prophet. "Sex helps, but don't tell your father I told you that." He said grinning over the top. I laughed, "Jake better get his ass over here now!" Caly laughed he was in class right now and got our homework everyday for us. He wouldn't be coming over until around two when his classes were finished.
A month ago Jake had talked to Professor Dumbledore about making the dorm room that we shared with Remus and Sirius and Leah to be bigger. He of course agreed and a week later it was finished. The original door opened to a small room with three more doors. Remus had his own bedroom and small bathroom, while Sirius and Leah had a larger master bedroom and bath, that mirrored mine and Jakes. Our bed was doubled into a king size bed and a large bay window with a seat looked out over the Forbidden Forest. In a small corner were the cribs with their gold bedding matching the red and gold that decorated our rooms. The bathroom was huge and very nice with the large tub and shower and two sinks. It was perfect and I loved it. Of course we soon christened every surface excluding the cribs, that would be weird, soon after we arranged all of our stuff.
I fell asleep after my little outburst, another bad thing about pregnancy, the littlest things make me tired. I had the strangest dream. I was walking through the woods behind our house in Forks when something hit me in the stomach. It hurt really bad like my muscles were clenching as the impact struck again harder. I couldn't tell where the things were coming from that kept hitting me though, it was like they were invisible…
I woke up with a gasp as another thing hit me but I realized that it was my lower stomach that was having the muscle spasms. I moved my hand to my stomach automatically, and looked around the room, no one was there. 'Dad?! Where are you? I think I'm going into labor?' I thought frantically hoping he was close enough to hear me. Not a second later my Dad was over the couch placing a cool hand to my cheek. "What's wrong honey?"
"My stomach hurts really bad, its like some sort of muscle spasm. Where's Jake?" He nodded towards my mother who went into the other room to get Carlisle and Jasper. They were going to take me to the hospital wing in Hogwarts. "Emmet! Go get Jake!"
Jakes POV:
Transfiguration is so boring without Nessie. She's good at it where as I'm just decent, that girl can transfigure anything. Right now we are trying to transfigure cats into chairs. Sirius has gotten it twice by now and is currently trying to help me, "You got to feel man! Let it run through your veins and shit. You got to be the cat who becomes the chair-"
"Are you on something?" Before he could answer the door slammed open shattering it along with making a huge dent in the wall behind it. "JAKE!!!! NESSIE'S GOING INTO LABOR!! WE GOTTA GO MAN!" It was Emmet and he ran in here to tell me that Nessie…was in labor? "What?" I asked trying to not believe what I was hearing, we knew it could be any day now but right now? "Yes! Now come on! Ed and Jazz are already taking her to the Hospital Wing we have to go!" It finally clicked, my babies are coming. I looked at Professor McGonagall who was smiling, "Tell Nessie I said congratulations. Go ahead Jake, good luck." I beamed at her before dashing out the door with inhuman speed to my wife.
Nessie POV:
I have never been in so much pain in my life, Carlisle was busy taking my heart beat and other vitals while my Rose and my mother were taking my clothes off and putting me in a hospital gown. I think I was crying, my whole body burned as it kept clenching and unclenching. Where was Jake? I needed him? "Emmet is coming honey, he has Jake with him." My father said as he moved my hair from my sweating face. "Nessie, I'm going to give you something to relax, it will take the pain away until its safe for the babies to come out. We have to figure out how to get them out because your skin is so hard. After I give you the relaxing potion I'm going to break your water." I nodded reaching for the potion. It had a lavender smell which made my head relax, I swallowed it and instantly felt it start to work. I was awake but the pain was gone, my muscles were completely relaxed. I have to say it's very awkward with my legs spread like they are and my grandfather sitting between them looking at me. But he does know what he is doing and I trust him. I smelled Jake come into the room, 'Dad I just want Jake, can everyone but you and mom and obviously Grandpa wait outside? It's kind of…weird if everyone is staring at me…down there…' My dad smiled asking Rose, Alice, Esme, Jasper, Caly, Seth, Embry, Quil, Austin, Derik and basically the entire rest of the pack outside of the room. Jake pushed past them all as the headed outside and into the room to my side. He kissed my forehead taking my hand smiling. "How are you feeling?" He asked me.
"I'm okay, Grandpa gave me a relaxing potion to help with the pain. He's going to break my water and then they are going to decide the best way to deliver them the best way. My skin is so hard I cant have a c-section, so it has to be natural."
"Are you ready Nessie? I'm going to break your water, its going to feel a little weird so be prepared." My grandfather said as he moved the needle up my vagina. It was cold but he was right about it feeling weird, I felt the water rush out but dad was quick with the bucket, talk about awkward.
Ten hours later:
I have been laying here for the past ten hours, Carlisle has been checking hourly, I was at about nine centimeters in dilation, one more to go! It was midnight when the pain started up again, I felt something moving inside of me, "DAD!!!" He rushed in with Carlisle, who checked me, "Okay Nessie, you're ten centimeters dilated are you ready to start pushing?" He asked, Dad moved the back of the bed up so I was closer to my legs. Jake held my hand rubbing my knee. Edward was on the other side while my mother was getting everything ready for the babies. I nodded a yes, "Okay you need to really push, I know its going to hurt but you're going to be so happy in the end." I nodded and he gave me the okay I pushed with all my might and felt something move downwards, it gave me courage. I pushed again, and again, and again, and again until finally Carlisle told me he could see the head. I pushed harder along with the contraction and finally with one last push one of the babies came out. Bella cut the umbilical cord and began cleaning him. "Come on Nessie one more baby and then your done." I nodded and began pushing feeling the same thing again. "There's the head, come on honey one more push." I pushed hard again, and felt her escape my body. I slumped back breathing heavily. Jake kissed my head, "I'm so proud of you sweetheart. I love you." I looked up at him, "I love you too." My body started to tremble and a glow enveloped me. I felt my body changing going back to its original shape. I slumped back, I was so tired. I thanked god for giving me my body back. "Jake! I can see my feet!" I whispered hoarsely. He chuckled kissing my forehead again. "Here you go Jake, he looks just like you." My mother handed Jake a small yellow bundle who was staring up at Jake. He took him into his arms, a tear fell from Jakes eyes and I smiled. "Hey junior, you have your mothers eyes." He said, and my mother handed me another yellow bundle. She was beautiful as she looked up at me with chocolate brown eyes. Her skin was not as dark as Jakes but had a slight tan which was beautiful. Her short black hair was straight and wispy over her hot head. She snuggled up to me and fell asleep. My mother covered me with a blanket as my legs closed and I leaned back against the upright bed. Jake sat on the bed beside me holding our sweet baby boy. "They look just like you Jake, what do you want to name them?" He smiled, "I think we should name him, Cole Ephraim Black and her, Kearra Grace Black."
"I love it, it's perfect." He kissed me gently, leaning back I got a good look at Cole, he looked just like his sister except his hair was pure black where as hers was more lighter and had a brown undertone. I was hoping to name Cole after Jacob but now looking at them together nothing could replace Jake, Cole was his own person as was Jake. I was so happy, Jake transfigured a pillow into a big cushy chair that he pulled up right next to the bed and leaned back keeping Cole close to his chest. We fell asleep holding our children.
"Hi honey, how are you feeling?" My mother asked smiling, I could tell she was happy, she was a grandmother now. "I'm good, a little thirsty but good." She smiled again, "I'll get you some blood this afternoon." My father had taken Cole from Jacob to hold him and he was cooing at him making him giggle. Alice came in through the curtain holding baby clothes and a package of diapers. "Hello Nessie, I brought them clothes so they aren't naked." She said.
"Thanks Alice, um we can dress Kearra first." She nodded coming over with a diaper which she put on in record timing before holding up a pink cotton nightie and a purple cotton nightie. I pointed towards the purple one and helped her put it on. Cole and Kearra have yet to cry which I was so happy about because I think I would start crying until I found out what was wrong. Alice placed the little cotton hat over black hair covered head, I grinned it was so cute. The hat matched the nightie and had little white and black polka dots with a tiny white bow in the front. It was precious. Next she held up a red nightie and a light blue nightie for Cole. I chose the red one, it had little blue anchors scattered across in a pattern with a matching hat as well. I traded with Dad and dressed Cole.
It was late morning so classes were still going on, Caly was in the curtained room beside me in a big tub, Seth was with her but had stopped by earlier to check up on us and say hello. I chatted with my family, Emmet kept playing peek-a-boo with Kearra for the entire afternoon. Poor Kearra, Cole slept in my arms, all cuddled in. Jasper brought me blood for lunch which I eagerly drank before falling back to sleep. Today was a good day.
