Chapter 15
"Oh shit!" she looked back to me and then to Carlisle, "my water just broke."
She looked frantically between me and Carlisle, unsure of what would happen. I stood there quite shocked, at how unexpected it was, the baby was supposed to come three days from now, on the tenth of March
But instead the baby was coming now. Right now, on the 7th.
A smile broke across Renesmee's face, as she took into account what was happening. I returned the smile and turned to Carlisle, waiting for him to tell us what to do. He stepped forward to her and went to grab her hand, but she pulled away quickly, and clutched onto her stomach, her eyes shut tightly, and she held back a scream that wanted to escape from her lips.
I turned back to her quickly, but I was unsure what to do with the situation, my hands wavered about in the air. "Carlisle what do we do?" I shouted, but it sounded a bit harsh. I shouldn't have been like that to him because all he'll do is help.
"Carry her upstairs; I think her labour may be quicker than we might have presumed." I carefully picked her up and ran upstairs to the room where Carlisle had everything prepared. I placed her gently on the bed and took her hand. She squeezed it immediately, and tightly.
"It's ok honey, breathe, it'll be over soon, come on deep breathes." Renesmee started to focus on her breathing, and eventually she opened her eyes.
Carlisle entered after a few seconds and got everything prepped up, followed by Edward who stood on the other side of her. "Where's Jake?" she asked Edward, after noticing Jacob hadn't enter the room.
"He's still a wolf Ness, he can't calm himself down."
"Please, I want Jake here."
"Ness he can-"
"PLEASE!" she shouted, but it was a mixture of anger and pain, the pain either coming from her physically, or knowing Jacob wasn't alongside her.
Edward looked to me, as if unsure what to do. "It's ok hun," I reassured her, "I'll go get Jake now ok." I let go of her hand and turned, but stopped when I felt her grasp onto my wrist, "No mum, can you stay? Please." I looked her in the eyes, and she looked right back. Her eyes displayed her emotions, and currently she was scared.
I returned to her side and withheld her hand in mine. I mouthed 'Go get Jacob' to Edward when she wasn't looking, and he left without her realising it.
"Ok, the contractions are fairly close together, so it should be fairly quick, but, this is obviously a first so anything can happen."
I froze at what Carlisle had said, "anything can happen." I knew he was just talking but it meant more and he knew it. Something could happen, and it could be absolutely anything. It could range from it being perfectly fine or to something worse, and that's what scared me.
She could die.

Jacob eventually calmed down and made his way to the room once he was suitable. He would tremble every time she would scream in pain, and even I would tense up, and not due to Jacob's violent shakes.
It had been a few hours, and even Carlisle was confused. Her contractions were close together, however they carried on without much of a time difference.
I knew everyone was waiting impatiently outside the room, and I was positive some of them such as Edward and Rose wanted to be in the same room with her. Rosalie wanted to know whether the baby was fine every so often. If it meant for another baby in the family then she would be worried about it's health, apparently not so much for the mother, well that's what I heard from an angry Jacob after he and Rose had another argument and he decided to bring it up.
Whether I believe in it or not, I'm sure she still cares for Renesmee no matter what Jacob had said, they had a great bonding when she was younger, so if Rosalie wasn't slightly worried with my daughter then I would have to speak with her.
Edward on the other hand wanted to be the other caring parent helping her whilst she was going through it all. He could hear her thoughts, and she didn't really count on hiding her pained thoughts, because from what I could hear outside, he seemed to be pretty upset at hearing our daughter in pain normally and mentally.
In the end though, they decided to just keep Jake and I with her, since that was who she asked for.
We were counting down to her next contraction, but it came earlier than predicted and she doubled over in pain and let out another scream. She tightened her grip around my hand as she tried to relieve some of the pain. Once it was over she fell back and rested her head on the pillow.
"Jacob Black I'm going to kill you after I've had this baby, you've done this to me you evil creature." Renesmee seethed in anger, whilst Jacob's eyes widened in fear and I couldn't suppress the laugh, which was followed by a few chuckles outside.
"Nessie your 10cm, I'm just estimating this and taking it as a normal human pregnancy, so on the count of three I want you to push ok" Carlisle stated from the other end of the bed.
She nodded and got prepared for the hard part.
"3...2...1...push."
Nessie's eyes shut as she concentrated on pushing, her hand tightened around mine and Jacob's. He actually winced slightly in pain. She screamed and then collapsed back breathing heavily, beads of sweat trickling down her head.
I pressed my hand to her head to cool her down, and she smiled slightly.
"Ok Ness again, after three. 1...2…3…push."
She leaned forward again and concentrated on pushing. She let out another small scream then fell back to the bed.
"Ok Ness, you're doing really good, just one more push and it'll be over."
"No, it hurts."
"I know it hurts Nessie but come on, one more push, you can do it love." I said to her. She sat back up and squeezed my hand. "After three," She said.
"1…"
"2…"
"3, now push."
She pushed once more, and then suddenly, her small screams of pain weren't the only thing that filled the room with noise.
The smallest cry filled the room and everyone was silent, including everyone outside.
Carlisle cut the umbilical cord, "Renesmee, Jacob, I'm proud to announce that it is indeed, a baby boy." He held up the baby so we could all see. It was covered in all the nasty goo, but it was still the cutest thing. His skin was russet coloured, like Jacob's, it was as if the baby was untouched by our white, pale skin.
Carlisle called me over to assist him, and he passed me a towel. Carlisle placed the baby in the towel in my arms, and I couldn't help but stare. I took him over to a small desk and cleaned him up. He had a good head of hair for a newborn baby, it was brown and it suited him well with his skin.
I grabbed another towel and wrapped him up, leaving his head and arms sticking out. I couldn't help but smile. I was holding my grandson, and it felt, well, a bit weird, but in a good way.
"Mum, may I?" I nodded and made my way over to the bed. Nessie and Jacob were just staring at their baby within my hands. I gently placed him in his mother's arms and stepped back whilst Jake and Ness had their moment.
"Can we come in now?" Alice asked from outside, and within a second the six of them entered the room, all searching for the baby. Nessie pulled her legs together self-consciously after they all entered realising the way she was sitting.
"Ness, I used to change your diapers." Emmett said as he came round to the bed, noticing her adjusting her position.
"Yeh but we all know you made a mess of that don't we." Rosalie said and looked down over the baby.
"He's so cute."
"So you two, what is the baby going to be called?"
We all turned to her awaiting the name of the baby.
"I was thinking…Jordan." Renesmee said, her eyes meeting with Jacob's, "That's fine by me." He said, leaning down and giving her a kiss, then following down and kissing Jordan gently on the head, "Hey Jordan, it's your daddy, I'm going to love you so much, and you're going to learn amazing things." He stood back up then furrowed his brows in confusion.
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"I'm just thinking, why is he so small?"
"Because he's a baby." Rosalie said in a 'duh', sarcastic tone.
"That's not what I meant blondie," he sneered at her, "Ness was pretty big, that's why we took in the whole speed growth idea, that he was bigger than a normal human, but look at him," everyone's eyes turned to Jordan who was being passed to Esme at that moment.
"He's a normal sized baby." We all considered it for a moment, and to be honest I was confused too. Jacob was indeed right, Jordan was small, and had in no way matured. His eyes were still closed and he was has normal as any other human.
And that is what confused me. Any other human. Not vampire. I took a deep breath and smelt in the new scent that filled the room. Not any trace of vampire in it, he was completely human.
"He's totally human." I said out loud, and everyone looked at me then breathed in the air. One by one they would analyse the scent, then turn to baby Jordan in disbelief.
"But how?" Jacob asked.
"I'm not sure." Carlisle said. "Not one part of him is vampire."
We all stared in silence at the baby who had baffled us all. He should have been at least a little bit like a vampire, but he hadn't even inherited his own mother's pale skin, which should have blended nicely with Jacob's darker skin.
We were interrupted by a scream.
Renesmee was hunched over again, screaming in agony. I ran to her side to hold her hand, and Jacob held the other, all of us in complete fear of what was happening, because no one knew.
She kept on screaming, and in response the baby started to scream too. "Get the baby out of here." Carlisle said whilst quickly looking over Renesmee, looking for any sign of what was causing the pain.
"Get it out!" She screamed again, her eyes shut and her face scrunched up in pain. A tear rolled down Jacob's cheek as he watched his wife suffer. He started to tremble again.
"Jasper, calm Jacob down." Edward ordered from besides me, his eyes were filled with the same worry that I was sure mine held, and eventually Jacob calmed down slightly.
"Carlisle what's happening?" I asked, but he stood there speechless, "Carlisle!!" I shouted and he shook his head, "I don't know." It was bad, because if Carlisle didn't know, nobody knew. I turned back to Nessie, and her face was wet from were the tears were continuously falling, her breathing was fast and unsteady, and her heart was beating faster and faster.
"Ahhh, it hurts, get it out of me!" she screamed again.
"Nessie, get what out of where?" Carlisle asked.
Nessie hunched over in pain again, and her hand was squeezing mine tightly, tighter than when she was giving birth. "My stomach, ahh." She screamed again, and our attention was on her stomach.
I was surprised that I hadn't noticed it before, but it was still there. Her stomach still bulged out, and from what I knew, I was sure that it decreased in size once the baby had been delivered. Carlisle ran back over to the table, and started muttering to himself, thinking of what to do.
"We'll need to take an X-Ray to know what we're taking out. Something must have punctured an organ or something I'm not sure, we'll need a scan as well but we'll have to be quick."
Carlisle motioned to Edward to set up the equipment in the other room. Nessie was still crying out in pain. I looked over to her bulge and thought over.
Carlisle had mentioned about a few broken ribs, but how could they affect her now. They would have punctured her a long time ago, and if not, the baby wasn't in her at the moment so it couldn't have caused her the pain.
Jacob was looking at Renesmee, and I knew he was hurt watching her. I looked back down to her stomach were the bulge was still sticking out. What is the matter with you? I thought to myself, my eyes still looking over her stomach.
And then I saw it. Something so small it would have gone unnoticed by either Jacob or Renesmee. I looked over to Carlisle to see whether he noticed but he was setting up some surgical equipment. I returned to looking at what I saw, and kept staring to see if it would appear again and it did.
My mouth parted in shock as it slowly occurred to me what it was. A small part of her skin was lifting up, then back down again. Every time the lump thing would surface, she would scream another scream, not as in much pain as the others, but in pain still. The kick was in the centre of the bruises that had formed on her stomach. It reminded me of something, and it only clicked in my mind at what it was.
I was still staring at it in shock, and I didn't even realise Edward had entered until the bed started to move from beneath me. He was taking her to the X-Ray machine, but from what I've just discovered, that or the scan wouldn't show anything.
"Edward wait." I said, lifting my hand up signalling for him to stop.
"Bella no, we have to find out what's wrong with her." He shouted, and started to pull the bed back towards the door. I grabbed the other end of the bed and it halted. "Bella." Jacob growled this time, and he started trembling.
"I know what the matter is."
"You can't be sure."
"Yes I am. Look at her stomach, and look carefully."
All three of them looked down at her stomach, and in perfect timing the little lump rose and fell. Carlisle and Edward gasped whilst Jacob was still trying to figure it out. Renesmee was still screaming, and her hand was clutched to her stomach.
"There's another baby. She's having twins, but this one isn't human."
A/N. I've planned this all along haha!! Cliffy I know but most of my chapters are so it's expected. But did you know this would happen…
Review and tell me what you think!
