Chapter 9: Really?
NPOV
"Why are you so happy Claire?" Jake and I asked at the same time. "Well I just can't believe you had Hailey and Anthony Nessie," she told me. "Yea, I know," I said looking down at a now sleeping Anthony in my arms. "I still can't believe they are here," Jake said looking at me, with pure love in his eyes. "So can I hold Hailey?" Claire asked Jake. "Sure. Just remember to support her head," Jake said breaking our gaze and walking over to Claire. "Don't worry over protective daddy. I'm not going to hurt Hailey," Claire said as Jake put Hailey in her arms. I giggled after Claire had said that and Jake looked at me. "I'm sorry," I whispered, and then Jake walked over to me and sat down on the bed.
"Here Ness let me put him in his bed," Jake said offering to take Anthony from me. "No its fine Jake, I've got him," I told him. A few minutes later there was a knock on the door. "Please," Jake whispered in my ear. "Fine," I whispered back to him. Jake smiled at me and then he took Anthony from me. Then there was another knock on the door. "Come in," I said and the door opened. "Nessie," grandma said as she walked in the room with grandpa followed by uncle Emmett, Aunt Rose, uncle Jasper, Aunt Meg, uncle Peter, Aunt Alice, Quil, Kyle and my parents. "Hey everyone," I said as Jake walked over to me. "Hey Nessie, how are you feeling?" Rose asked me. "I'm tried and hungry," I said.
"Yep," Meg and mom said together. "So Nessie I have a question for you," Claire said handing a sleeping Hailey to a weary looking Jake. "What's your question my dear best friend?" I asked her as Jake put Hailey in the bed next to Anthony. "Well Quil asked me to marry him," she began. "Really?" I said, I thought Emily said Quil was going to ask Claire on her birthday. "Yes," Claire said taking something out of her pocket. "Would you be my maid of honor?" she added. I looked at Jake who helped me out of bed, and then I walked over to Claire. "Claire you are my best friend," I began and she looked at me, with tears in her eyes. "Your like my sister," I said and her tears fell down her face.
"And you don't know how happy I'm for you and Quil," I continued as my eyes filled with tears too. "Thank you," she whispered. "I would love to be your maid of honor," I finally finished and the tears in my eyes finally spilled over. "Really?" Claire said letting out a sigh. "Really," I said hugging her. Then Claire put the ring on her finger. The ring is beautiful it's a diamond and ruby ring that glinted in the soft, setting sun. "Wow, Quil this ring is amazing," I said watching it sprinkle in the light. "Thanks it was my mothers," Quil said his voice cracking as he said mother. Then I remembered what his mom had said about Claire.
FLASHBACK
"Hey mom," Quil said as we walked into his house. "I'm in the living room dear," came his loving mother's voice. We walked down the hall a little and then turned and walked into the living room. The living was pretty small and a big viewing window at the head of the living room. "Mom," Quil said looking at me then back to his mom. "Yes dear," she said keeping her eyes on him. "Well I was wondering who, I am not aloud to date?" Quil asked and to tell you the truth Quils question shocked me so I looked at him. "Well your not aloud to date Sarah, Vicky, Vanessa, Marcy, Mary, Claire Emily's niece," she began and I could not think. Quil was not aloud to see the one girl he had imprinted on.
"Mom why can't I see Claire?" Quil questioned will more like wined. "Because her mom and I don't get along," Quil's mom shouted at him. "So," he yelled back at her. "Quil, Angel," I said putting my hand on Quil's shoulder. "Nessie dear how are you?" Angel asked me. "I'm fine," I said smiling at her. "How is Jake?" she asked having no idea that Jake and I were married. "He's fine as will," I said then her eyes went to the ring on my left hand. "Oh my," she whispered. "What," I said following her gaze. "Nessie your ring," Quil said and I quickly pulled my hand off of his shoulder. "Angel its not what it looks like," I said getting up off the couch and starting to back up.
Then I tripped on some books that were on the floor. "Nessie you married Jake," Angel said as Quil caught me inches from the ground. "Well," I began. "Nessie your only sixteen," she said starting to raise her voice. "I know, but Jake and I are met to be together," I said hiding behind Quil. "Are you sure," she said lowering her voice a little. "We are," I said, and then the doorbell rang. "Come in," Quil yelled. "Nessie do you know what the chances of a marriage between a sixteen year old and a seventeen year are?" Angel asked me, will yelled more or less. "They end up splitting," she added. "Yea I know, but my marriage with Jake is different," I yelled back at her.
"Sure, best of luck Nessie, oh you too Jake," she said. Quil and I both turned to see my husband and Claire in the doorway to the living room.
END OF FASHBACK
"Quil man I'm sorry," Jake said walking over to Claire, Quil and I. We were in a small group. "It's okay," Quil said. "I know you miss her babe," Claire said and that's when I remembered what happened to Angel a couple months back.
FLASHBACK
It was three months after Angel and I had are screaming match which met I was 5 ½ months pregnant with the twins. It was midnight when Jake's phone rang. "Hello?" Jake whispered. "What!! Wow Claire slow down," Jake said still whispering because he was trying not to wake me up. "Jake," I said putting my hand out for the phone. "Here tell Ness," Jake said handing me the phone. I sat up and took the phone from him. "Claire," I said as Jake turned on the light. "Nessie," she sobbed. "What's wrong honey?" I asked her. "Well Quil was over at his mom's and," she began to cry uncontrollable. "What did something happen to Quil?" I asked as Jake got up out of bed and started getting dressed.
"No," she said still sobbing. "Then what happened?" I asked as Jake took the phone and put it on speaker. "Angel she," Claire trailed off. "What happened to Angel?" I asked starting to get worried. "Well Angel and Quil were talking in the living room and some guy shot Angel," Claire said. "What!!" I said, as I got dressed. "She got shot by some guy," Claire replied as I looked at Jake. "What about Quil?" Jake asked her. "He's fine," she told us. "How's Angel?" I asked as one of the twins kicked me. "Well, just get down to the hospital," Claire said before hanging up the phone. "Mom!!" I yelled and Jake looked at me worried. My mom was in Jake and I's room before I could blink.
"Is grandpa working at the hospital tonight?" I asked her. "Yes. Now go because I have a feeling Claire and Quil well need you two with them when Carlisle tells them how Angel is," Aunt Alice said from the doorway. "Okay," I said blinking back tears.
TEN MINTUES
"Claire, Quil," I said seeing them in the waiting room. "Nessie," Claire said then ran into my waiting arms. Quil walked over to us as Claire started to sob again. "Quil how are you holding up?" I asked him. "I'm going crazy they haven't told me anything yet," he said looking at the doors that laid back to the ER. "There was so much blood," he added and that's when I realized he was crying. Jake walked up to us and I handed a crying Claire to him and I took a very scared looking Quil in my arms. I hugged him tightly. "Quil man what's going I want to your house and there was blood everywhere," Seth said walking in the doorway. "Well its along story Sethy," I said looking at him.
"Oh okay Smiley," Seth said dropping the object. "Quil," came my grandfather's voice. I looked at him and he had a pained look of his face I had seen that face before, the look on his face was the same one he had on his face when he told me I had lost my babies enough I hadn't. "Carlisle, how is my mom?" Quil asked walking over and taking Claire from and then looking at grandpa. "Quil I have some bad news," he said taking a deep breath. "What?" Quil said quivering. "Quil we did everything we could, but she lost to much blood," grandpa said as I watched Quil's knees buckle under his weight. "No," he whispered. "I'm sorry Quil but we lost her," Carlisle said. I blinked and then I saw Quil on the ground.
