Here is chapter 10. I am probably going to be slower at getting chapters up, now that I am back in school. I hope you like it!
Chapter 10: Here I Stand
Renesmee POV
Today was Friday. Finally, Alice, Rose, mom, and I were going shopping. I couldn't be happier. My parents are getting married. Something I never thought was possible. Jake and I are going good. My whole family loves me. Even Aunt Rosalie. I know she didn't like me at the beginning. But know I know it was because Edward had a child, and she didn't. I know she always wanted one. But I guess she realized that she gets to be the cool aunt now. We were all plied into my new Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren that dad bought me for my birthday. We headed to Seattle.
I let mom drive. My stomach didn't quiet feel right. I probably just needed to hunt. We were having so much fun singing to old songs. We were laughing and having a good time. Before I knew it we were in Seattle. Maybe that was because mom drove crazy all the way there. Aunt Alice was so happy that I shared her love for shopping.
"So Nessie, where are we going first?" She asked too bubbly for even Alice.
"Where ever you want to go Alice."
She squealed. We went into this little boutique, where I wouldn't have been able to buy one sock. Alice of course bought like one of everything, for each of us. We had gone through the entire mall, about three times. Good thing we have already taken things out to the car, or else it would have looked un-human to carry that much stuff. Alice was back in the department store trying to find some things for Jasper when I had the urge to eat human food. I turned to my family and lied, "Um, I got to go to the bathroom." They all looked at me. "What, I am half human."
Rosalie laughed.
"Are you going to be fine in the mall on your own?" It was my mother, who sounded motherly.
"Mom, seriously. We have been through the entire mall multiple times. I think I know my way around."
She laughed and I was on my way. I got to the food court. Everything smelled so good. Which felt wrong. I usually thought human food smelled disgusting. I walked up to a fast food counter. I met a small teenage boy with acne. He looked at me stunned. He probably was amazed by my beauty. I was used to that by now.
"Um, hi. Can I help you?" He asked me.
"Yes, can I get some cheesy fries and some orange juice?"
He looked at me, "Um yeah, but we only serve orange juice in the morning."
"Can I just get some orange juice?" I guess my voice did get a little loud and angry.
"Um, sure, yeah. I guess so." I could tell he was a little frightened.
I paid for my food and went to sit down and enjoy it, when I saw Alice sitting at a table. I walked over to her table and sat down. Of course Alice would know that I was lying about having to go to the bathroom.
"Nessie we need to talk."
I looked at her. "I know I lied back there. But I really wanted to have some human food for some reason. I guess my human side is poking through."
She looked at me. "I don't think it is your human side, Renesmee." Uh oh. She used my whole first name. That meant something. I just looked at her and she continued. "After you left I looked into your future to see if you were really going to the bathroom. I saw something else that I didn't intend to see."
I was worried. "I thought you couldn't see me?"
"The more I am around you the clearer I can see you. Since you have been embracing your vampire side, I can see you a bit clearer since you got here."
"Oh."
"But that is not what I wanted to talk to you about. I saw someone unexpected show up. At least I think they are unexpected."
I looked at her like she was crazy. But I didn't respond. I didn't know what she talking about. Was it the Volturi coming back here? "What are you talking about Alice? Is it the Volturi?"
"No Renesmee it is not the Volturi. You are pregnant." I stared at her.
The next thing I knew I was waking up in the car. I didn't know what time it was. I don't remember what happened. Then I saw Alice. Mom and Rose weren't here, so I assumed it wasn't long.
"Alice? What happened?"
"Nessie you passed out when I told you that you were pregnant."
Oh yeah. That. "How do you know?"
"I could see it in my vision. I saw your baby about as good as a human. So I am guessing that your baby is mostly human. Don't worry. Nobody knows but me, and you now. That is probably why you wanted human food."
"Oh. So what do I do now?"
"You tell Jake, I assume that it is Jake."
"Of course it is Jake. So I tell him. Then what? Mom will be angry. I bet dad will be too."
"Really Renesmee, this had to happen sometime. You and Jake love each other too much. I will help you out with Edward. He can be a little difficult sometimes. And you should probably talk with Carlisle, that way he can take care of you."
I looked at her, "I have to tell my grandfather that he is going to be a great-grandfather? But I have only known him for a week."
"It's the best thing for your baby. You need a doctor. With you being half vampire and the father being a werewolf. You need Carlisle."
"I guess you are right. When is the shopping trip over? I love it, Alice. But I need to talk to Jake now."
"I understand Nessie. Your mom and Rose will be out in five minuets."
They came out in five minuets like Alice said. Mom could tell something was wrong with me. She didn't ask any questions though. We got back to the house. I went to find Jake.
Jake was sitting in the living room with Emmett playing the Wii.
"Jake, can I talk with you?" He looked at me worried after hearing the seriousness in my tone.
"Yeah Nessie." He got up and looked worried when I went out side. But he followed me into the forest by the house. I walked far enough away so I didn't hear anyone from inside. That way I knew they couldn't hear me tell Jake this. I turned to him, he looked worried.
"Jake, I have to tell you something." But before I could say anymore I felt the need to vomit. Jacob looked concerned but he still held my hair like a gentlemen.
"Nessie are you alright? You have never gotten sick before. I am concerned."
"Jake I don't know how to tell you this, but I am pregnant." His eyes got wide at the last word. But who would blame him. You don't really learn that your half vampire girlfriend is pregnant everyday. All he did was stare blankly at me for ten minuets.
"Wow." That's all he could say. At least he was doing better than me. He didn't faint.
"I know this is a surprise Jake. But we can make it work. I am sorry."
"Nessie, why are you apologizing? It was both of us that made this decision. Plus I am glad I am going to be a dad."
"You are?"
"Yes. I love you so much. I knew this would probably happen. Granted I didn't think it would be this soon. But I am happy."
"Oh, Jake! I was so worried that you would be mad."
"Mad? Nessie I am excited!"
I just hugged him. I didn't know what else to do. "We need to tell my parents. And Carlisle."
"Wait? Carlisle doesn't know? How did you find out?"
"Alice told me. She said she can see the baby about as good as a human. So she thinks it will be more human."
"Does anyone else know?"
"No. But I want to tell them soon. Just so I can make sure the baby is okay."
"How about now?" I looked at him stunned. I wasn't planning now. But I guess it is now or never.
"Okay." We ran back to the house. My mom was on the porch.
She looked at me, "Are you okay? You didn't act the same in the car on the way home."
"Yeah, um mom, can Jake and I talk to you? And where is dad at?"
"Sure you can talk to me Renesmee. And Edward is hunting right now with everyone else. It is just me right now. But he should be back in a couple of hours."
"Oh, that is good."
"Nessie, you are scaring me. What is wrong?"
"Can we just sit down?" I sat down on the couch with Jake by my side. Mom was sitting on the chair closest to the couch.
"What is it Renesmee?"
"I guess there is no other way to say this. Mom, I am pregnant."
She stared to me with shocked eyes. "Renesmee Carlie Cullen! How? When? Wait I know how it happened. But what are we going to do? This is so unexpected. So this means I am a grandma. Wow. But wait what is it going to be? You are a half vampire half human, and Jake is a werewolf shape shifter. It is Jake, right? Wait so where are you going to live? What about the baby, can Alice see it?"
I had to stop her there. Unlike Jake, mom was babbling. "Mom, slow down. I know it is unexpected. I have no idea what it will come out like. But when Alice told me she said she could see it like a human. So she predicts that the baby is acting more human, rather than a fourth vampire and a fourth wolf. But Alice advised me to tell you, dad, and grandpa."
Mom looked at me, "That is why Alice made everyone go hunting. She wanted everyone to be gone so you could talk to me. Wow!"
I had to ask her one question. "How is dad going to react?"
"I am no Alice, but I am thinking you might want to tell him when you tell Carlisle. With Carlisle there it will lessen the reaction."
"Can you be there? I don't really want to face dad with out you there. I haven't really known him that long."
"Of course, Nessie. What about you Jake? How are you holding up with the news?"
"Good. I am excited. I love Renesmee so much. This is wonderful." He answered with hope glowing in his eyes.
"That's great."
I turned to my mom, "Can you block mine and Jacob's minds when I tell dad. I don't think either of us could control our thoughts."
"Sure." We spent the next two hours talking about the baby. Then I heard Alice talking very loud. I am guessing she was still on the other side of the river. She probably thought she had to warn us. Just to be sure. I thanked her in my mind. Two minuets later they walked through the back doors. Dad looked worried, probably because he couldn't hear us. I spoke up first.
"Um Dad, and Grandpa Carlisle, can Jacob and I talk to you in privet please?"
Dad looked at me, "Sure Nessie, anything you want." Grandpa Carlisle nodded. We went up stairs to Grandpa Carlisle's study. Grandpa Carlisle sat in his chair behind the desk, dad stood beside him, and Jake and I took the chairs on the other side of the desk with mom standing right behind me.
"What do you need Renesmee?" Grandpa asked casually.
"Well I guess there is no other way to say this. I am. . . pregnant."
Dad looked shocked. I could also see a hint of anger in his eyes.
Grandpa just nodded. "How did you find out Nessie?"
"Alice told me today that she could see the baby."
"Well if Alice says, then it must be true. Now I am concerned about what the baby will turn out to be."
"Well Alice said that she could see it about as good as a human. So she is predicting that the baby will be more human. Which if you think about it that is what it should be. She wanted me to tell you soon so that you can check the baby as soon as possible."
"Alright. Let me get everything set up. I have some things I have bought. I once started thinking about opening my own practice. But then I remembered that we have to move around a lot, and if I open my own practice I can't."
I just nodded. Carlisle left and mom went with him to help. Jake and I were left with my dad. He still had the same look of shock and anger in his eyes. I didn't know what else to say to him, "I am sorry daddy."
He looked at me now hurt. "Oh Renesmee there is nothing to be sorry for. You are twenty after all. I just always thought of you as a little girl. I haven't been a father for very long, and now I am going to be a grandfather."
"Oh dad, I am your little girl. It is just now your little girl is going to have a little girl, or boy."
Carlisle returned, "Okay, Renesmee I have everything set up in a spare bedroom. Shall we go see if we can see the baby?"
We all followed Carlisle into the room. There he had an exam table set up with an ultrasound machine set up next to it. He asked me a lot of questions, and entered the answers into the computer. Then he pulled out a small wand. He squirted it on to my stomach and moved the wand around. Then all of a sudden I heard a thumping sound. Carlisle smiled.
"What is that noise?" I was curious.
"That, Renesmee, is your baby's heart beat." I gasped. I loved the noise, knowing that it was ours, mine and Jake's. I sat there listening to my baby's heart beat.
Alice showed up just then. "Nessie we need to go shopping for your baby, like now."
I looked at her. "Alice we just got back from shopping."
"Yeah, but we didn't buy anything for the baby. We need everything."
"How about we go tomorrow? Is that good?"
"Yes, and it is a shame that Rose won't be able to go."
I looked at her. "Why?" Then I turned my attention to my aunt Rose.
She spoke when I looked at her. "I have to get a project finished and I was planning on doing that tomorrow."
"Oh," At least mom would be there.
"But we also need to pick up some things for the wedding!" Alice interjected.
I had completely forgotten about the wedding. How could I forget about this? It is my parents wedding.
"Don't worry about it Nessie. You had other things worry about." Dad told me. Oh yeah, the whole hearing thoughts thing. I guess mom unblocked me and Jake after we told dad.
The next day mom, Alice, and I went back to Seattle. This time we were shopping for my baby. We walked into a baby store. It was just a normal baby store. But knowing that we were here to get things for my baby made it more real. I started browsing through the things in the store, when I got to the crib section I found the crib. It was an oak wood crib. It was one of those that can change as the baby grows. I loved it. They had a set of green sheets in it, with cute little animals on it. Alice came over.
"Do you want to know the sex of the baby?"
I stared at her. "You know?"
"Yeah. I looked further into your future once I learned you were pregnant." She stopped there.
"And. What is it?"
"A boy."
"What? I am having a little boy. Yeah, I like it." I put my hand over my stomach, not even realizing.
"So, this crib. Anything else? Do you want blue sheets, since it is a boy? Oh, wait. No you want green sheets. I prefer green too. Blue is over played."
"Yeah. I want those sheets. The ones on the display."
"Okay. Lets look at some clothes."
The rest of the time we looked at everything else the baby needed. I found some great out fits. I was just so happy. Then we wandered into a bridal store.
"Now Bella we need to get some things for your wedding next week. I would have loved to get you a designer dress, but some things I can't even predict."
"Alice do we have to?"
"Bella it is your wedding. And yes I am forcing you to do this."
My mom growled through the whole dress fitting. It was a gorgeous dress. Almost like the dress was modeled after my mom's ring.
We were on the way home and I was deciding on how to tell Jake that we are having a boy. When I started feeling nauseas. Alice had already stopped the car. I opened the door and vomited. I hated having this morning sickness. We were almost home when Alice had to stop for me again. I don't think I have anything left to throw up.
I arrived home to find Jake in the kitchen eating. All of a sudden I felt hungry. Even though I had thrown up twice on the way home I was suddenly hungry. Jacob looked up then and smiled.
"Hello, beautiful."
"Hi. Do you want to see what we got the baby?"
"Yeah, I do."
He followed me up to my room. I found the bags from shopping that Alice had already taken to my room. I reached in and pulled out a small baby outfit. It was blue with a small wolf on the front. I gave it to Jake, he smiled at me.
"It's a boy, isn't it?"
"Yeah, Alice told me so today. I think she found out so that shopping would be easier. Oh, and I got the cutest sheets for the crib. And the crib is so beautiful. It is oak. I hope you like the outfit. I just had to get it when I saw the wolf on it. It reminded me of his father." I was cut off there with a kiss, from Jake. I smiled when he did this.
"Renesmee, I love you so much. And I love our son. I really do like this outfit, it's fitting. I want to be with you forever."
"I want you forever too Jake." I whispered to him.
He looked directly into my eyes, "Renesmee Carlie Cullen, will you marry me and be with me forever?"
I nodded. That was all I could do. The tears were streaming down my face. I looked down at my hand and found a simple but beautiful diamond ring on my finger. I wanted to shout to the whole world that Jake and I were getting married. But my family would have to do.
I ran down the stairs to find my mom. "Jake and I are getting married!" She looked at me not surprised. I guess she heard it all from down here.
"That's good. I am happy for you." Her smile said it all. She was happy for me. Just then everyone else walked in.
"Jake and I are getting married!" Everyone looked at me stunned, except for Alice. She probably knew once Jake decided he was going to pop the question.
I looked at my dad. His face said it all. He looked almost angry.
"Dad? Are you okay?"
"Well, Renesmee. This is a surprise."
"Dad you knew we were going to get married sometime. And I guess it is sooner rather than later. Plus I want to be married before the baby arrives. He is going to need a mom and dad. Not that he won't get spoiled by his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and great-grandparents."
Everyone smiled. I love having my family around. We were all so happy. I didn't think anything could go wrong.
I know that Renesmee getting pregnant is over done almost, but I have a plan to end the story. The way that I want the story to end, Nessie has to get pregnant. So yeah. I hope you like it!
