Chapter Twenty-Three- 'Til I looked in to your eyes
"It's midnight, so it's not early," Jacob watched, as Cassady smirked, and puts her hands over top of his.
"Baby, it's twins. We're having twins."
"Twins?" Jacob asked, rubbing her stomach lightly, as tears built in to his eyes. Cassady smiled at him, as she nodded. He picked her up, swinging her around, causing her to gasp, and giggle. He landed a kiss on her mouth, hugging a little tighter, but making sure not to get too tight.
"Hey, can you behave?" Jacob heard Collin call from the open doorway. Jacob put her down, before turning and looking at Collin.
"I will, I have an announcement to make, assuming my wonderful, loving girlfriend hasn't told everyone," Cassady shook her head, as he practically dragged her in to the living room. Jacob pulled her until they were in the middle of the living room, his arm wrapped around her waist and smile resting on his lips.
"Merry Christmas, everyone," Jacob called out, getting everyone's attention and greetings back, "I have a wonderful announcement to make, that my darling girlfriend told me tonight." Jacob paused, watching as everyone raised an eyebrow.
"We're having twins!" Cassady called out, smiling, as not seconds after she announced it, congratulations were spread around.
"Great, there's not one hellion, but two!" Sam called out, getting laughs from most, as he hugged Cassady, and patted her belly.
"Well, then, lets make this a true party!" Jacob said, from behind Cassady. Cassady turned and looked, to find Jacob on one knee, a box out, with a ring in it. "Will you marry me?"
Cassady felt tears fill her eyes as she nodded, " Oh, god, yes!"
Hoots and hollers filled the house, as the talked, and relaxed Christmas eve away.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Christmas Day*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Cassady was jerked from her bed by the sound of several men cussing, and the smell of burnt rubber. Laughing, she climbed out of bed, and threw on a pair of pajama bottoms. Tossing her wild hair in to a ponytail, she walked in to the kitchen, to find Jacob, Sam, Paul, Seth, Jared, Collin, Brady, Quill and Embry attempting to cook. None of them saw her come in, even as she sat at the table and watched as they scrambled around attempting to put out the fire caused by the bacon.
"Damn it," Sam mumbled under his breath as made a mess of the eggs, causing an eruption of laughter from Cassady as they jerked around to see her behind them.
"Do you guys want me to cook breakfast?" She asked, getting up and taking the eggs from Sam, before pushing Jacob out of the way at the sink, pouring it in to the drain.
"No," The boys pouted, as Cassady rolled her eyes at them.
"Alright, well, lets make a compromise. I'll show you how to cook, and we'll do it together this morning, and pretend that you guys did this all by yourselves, 'kay?" They nodded, as Cassady washed both pans that had once been on fire out.
"Alright, Sam, get the eggs. Lets get this started," Cassady said, shaking her head in laughter.
It was less than an hour later that Abby, and Emily crawled out of bed and down the stairs to find food on the table, and Cassady nibbling on some of the bacon, eyes glued to the newspaper. The boys stood over by the stove, and every once in a while Cassady would call out to take it off the stove or to flip it.
"Cassady, what are you doing up, and why are you helping the boys?" Emily asked, as Cassady smirked at the girl. Emily sat at the table, scooting close enough that her baby bump lightly touched the table. Cassady shook her head.
"They tried to burn your house down, Em. I had to save your house," Emily laughed at Cassady's dramatics, as Abby grabbed a piece of bacon from the middle of the table.
"Well, might as well make the best of it. I'm teaching them to cook, and they can try again by themselves next year. With lots of practice throughout the year to make sure I never wake up to the destruction I did this morning." Abby snorted, as she grabbed the rest of the paper from Cassady.
"Hey, I was reading that!" Cassady stood up, grabbing a cup of the decaffeinated coffee, that she had earlier. "This shit ain't working." Jacob turned his hand and laughed.
"You want to have your pop now, or later, Cassady?" Cassady shook her head, pouting.
"BUT!" Jacob shook his head, as Sam waved his Coke in front of Cassady.
"Sam, I advise you hide that or it won't just be Cassady pulling it out of your ass," Emily growled as she sipped the same kind of Coffee.
"See, my Paul is so much nicer than Sam, and Jacob, right baby?" Abby asked, not looking behind her to see Paul sipping the coke lightly. " He would NEVER drink pop if I can't." Paul slowly removed the can from his lips, staring at the back of Abby's head with a raised eyebrow, as he sighed and put the pop down.
'WHIPPED!' Collin and Brady mouthed, as Cassady turned just in time to see it.
"You know, just to make sure that the love is evenly distributed, why don't I just put an Alpha order on the whole pack stating that NO ONE can have any type of Soda, Pop, Coffee, Alcohol, or anything like that?" Cassady paused, as all the boy's mouth dropped.
"But, Cassady, Hun-" Quill said, getting on his knees in front of her, and laying his head on her thigh.
"I'm joking, Quill. I wouldn't do that to you guys. Maybe.." Cassady trailed off, picking up portions of the newspaper that Abby had thrown out. Jacob walked over with a plate of eggs, fruit, and yogurt, smiling.
"Hope you like it," He mumbled, as he kissed her lips lightly. Cassady kissed back for a moment before, pulling back and taking a bite. Emily and Abby watched with weary eyes as they received their food, waiting on Cassady's response.
"Yum, not too bad," Cassady said, taking another bite, giving Abby and Emily the nod of approval. The two girls took a bite themselves before nodding. They ate a little more, when Reina walked in, and was shuffled toward the table. A plate was sat in front of her, and with no hesitation, she ate at the food. The boys stood off to the side,watching the girls eat happily.
"Are they not going to eat?" Reina asked, as she leaned over to talk to Abby. Abby shook her head, as she pointed to Cassady.
"After several moments when we had to fight for our food, Cassady made an alpha order saying that imprints ate first, and then the guys can get their food. That way no one is missing out on food. Though, they should have been able to get their food a long time ago." Sam smiled kissing Emily's head.
"We already ate," He stated, stealing a bacon, " We cheated and went to McDonald's, and got breakfast. We didn't want to seem like pigs this early in the morning." Cassady raised an eyebrow.
"You were trying to kill us!" She called out, laughing, as Emily and Abby shook their head. Reina raised an eyebrow, as Sam crossed his arms across his chest.
"If you weren't so annoying, we wouldn't have to worry about that, now would we?" Sam asked, as Cassady shrugged, smirking at him.
"Your lives wouldn't be half as much fun then. You'd have to find something else to entertain yourself with." Cassady plopped another mouthful of fruit in her mouth, smiling as Sam raised an eyebrow at her.
"That is sincerely-" A loud knock on the door interrupted Sam's comment, as Cassady went to get up. Jacob pushed her lightly back in to the chair, giving Collin a look. Collin rushed in to the living room, as the knocking on the door got louder. The sound of shuffling would be heard, along with a loud squeak from Collin.
"Where is my favorite daughter?" Billy called out, as he rolled in to the large kitchen, by passing Jacob, to give Cassady a hug. Cassady giggled as Billy rubbed her pudging belly, as Jacob gave him a skeptical look.
"Hello to you to Father," He said loudly, a laugh following shortly after, as Billy turned and looked at him.
"Are you my son?" Billy asked, as Cassady fell out laughing and Jacobs mouth dropped.
"Only for 19 years," Billy shrugged, smirking.
"Well, I'm sorry, son. This beautiful young lady is my favorite child," Cassady snorted, as Jacob nodded.
"I can understand why," Jacob smiled, reaching around to take Cassady's hand. Cassady looked up at Jacob and rubbed her thumb across his hand. A long banging noise was heard in the living room, as Leah's beautiful voice could be heard cussing.
"Oh, Leah dear, we're going to have to get you a filter for your filthy mouth when the kids get here. Otherwise, Emily, Cassady, and Abby are going to have so many problems with their children repeating you," Aunt Sue could be heard telling Leah, as she huffed, walking in to the kitchen.
"Collin is waiting for you guys. He saw presents, and now he won't get away from them," Reina's eyes lit up, as she glance around the room.
"PRESENTS!" She took off out the room, and toward the tree, only to get caught, and held back by Leah.
"Finish eating, and then we can open presents." Reina pouted, walking back to the table, and dropping in to the seat. Cassady giggled, eating as slowly as possible, earning a glare from Reina, who was speed eating.
"Would you like to digest your food, Rei?" Abby asked, as Reina chugged her juice down. Reina smiled, and pointed to her plate.
"See, done!" She exclaimed, as Cassady got up, taking all the girls empty plates and putting them in the sink. Reina, once again, jumped up, and took off toward the living room, with Jared, Sam, Collin, Brady, Quill and Embry behind her. Paul helped Emily out of her chair, giving her a light kiss on the lips, before both of them followed in to the living room.
Billy and Sue were the next out of the room, making gagging noises like little kids when Sam lightly kissed Emily on the nose before kissing her on the lips. Jacob laughed, wrapping his arms around Cassady's waists, as she turned, and nuzzled in to his chest. She felt him kiss her head before he pulled back, and lightly tugged her in to the living room, where presents were being tossed everywhere.
"Cassady, I love it!" Abby called out, as the glass statues of a wolf rested in her palm. Emily nodded, as she examined hers, along with Reina.
"Its an exact replica of your wolves. I took pics of them in wolf form and got them to do a 3-D version," Cassady said, as she plopped on the sofa next to Seth, and Sue. Seth handed her a box, as she began opening it.
"You told us you were taking those pics so that if you run in to a wolf that you would know what they looked like!" Jared growled out, as Cassady smirked.
"The same way I told you that wolf howls make me sleepy? I can't believe you guys fall for that shit!" Abby's eyes widened at the memory of the recording event. Cassady smirked, as she opened the box to reveal a picture frame. In the picture frame was a picture of Jacob and Cassady, curled up on the sofa, with a fire going in the fireplace. It looked peaceful as both of them were sleeping, and comfortable. Cassady felt herself tear up, as Emily smiled at her.
"It was a Kodak moment," Emily stated, as Cassady nodded and smiled, before Sam's gasp caught everyone's attention.
"Alright, Cassady, how much?" Sam asked, his hands shaking, as Cassady raised an eyebrow.
"How much what?" She said innocently, as Sam raised an eyebrow.
"How much money did you blow trying to get me this?" He asked, waving the two tickets in the air. Emily snatched them out of his hand, and her eyes widened.
"Cassady, I love you," She stated, still staring at the tickets.
"What are they?" Collin called out over his games that he was holding.
"Oh, just Rock on The Range tickets along with backstage passes for all three days." Cassady stated, as Jacob snorted.
"How much?" Sam asked, as Cassady smiled.
"Oh, nothing at all," Cassady smiled as Sam sighed.
"Look, I'm not going to pay you back," He went on to say, as Cassady put her hand up.
"Nope, It cost nothing. Nothing at all. I paid zip nada zero!" Sam's eyes widened, as he got up, and hugged her.
"Thank You! Thank YOU!" He exclaimed as Cassady laughed. He let go of her to let her open her presents. By the end of the opening, she had gotten clothes for the baby, stuff for the babies room, C.D.'s, movies, and her own set of crystal balls to put in her window, Reina's idea of a joke. She had set everything down, when Jacob came over and covered her eyes.
"We're going out to the car, and driving over to our house, but I'm putting this blind fold on you first." Cassady nodded, as he put it on her eyes. She was taken out to the car, and driven to the house. Jacob guided her in to the house, and through the house until they stopped.
Cassady felt Jacob remove the blind fold, as she gasped at the sight. The babies room was complete, with two cribs, and a rocking chair in a corner. The babies stand had some baby stuff on it, along with a radio that was sitting next to the lullaby C.D.'s that she had bought. The babies room was a soft white, with Pooh all over the wall, and Tigger chasing him. Cassady felt tears in her eyes, as Jacob held her close.
This couldn't be beat, her world was right here, in this room, with the man holding her. Nothing could get any better than this.
