Bella's POV
Jake turned to me and smiled.
"We've been here for a long time. You want to go get something to eat at the dinner?" He asked and I nodded. The pack looked at us.
"Jake are you staying over at Bella's tonight?" Sam asked.
"Maybe. I'll call and let you know." He said and Sam nodded. He got Noah in his carrier while I went to Seth to get Marie. He looked so sad.
"I'll bring her back tomorrow." I said and he cheered up instantly. Leah rolled her eyes.
"Unbelievable. My baby brother imprint's before I do." She said and I laughed lightly. She gave me a look. I hugged everyone and we left. When we pulled up to the dinner and walked in I noticed some out of town people. Jake shrugged and we got a seat. The waitress took our order and left then the people from out of town come over and smiled.
"We just wanted to say that you have a beautiful family." One of them said. Jake and I glanced at each other.
"Thanks." Jake said but it sounded like a question. They nodded and left. I looked at Marie. She had a complexion that looked like she had a golden tan but I knew that was her actual skin color. She had dark brown hair like me that fell to her shoulders and she had big brown eyes. I looked at Noah and he was the same.
"I get how they would think they were our kids." I said and Jake studied them like I had.
"Me too." He said and grinned. I laughed and we both smiled at the kids.
The weeks following the day at the dinner Jake staying over became a regular occurrence. We grew closer and I admitted that I loved him. I don't know why I wouldn't give him a chance before. He was better than Edward in almost every way. He was warmer, he laughed more and he wasn't afraid to hurt me when he kissed me. Plus he talked sports with Charlie and Charlie actually liked him. He made me happy.
The kids had been with us for two months and Marie was babbling away happily. We knew she was a little behind in development but when we took her to a doctor, he told us just to work with her at home and she would develop normally. We talked to her and pointed out things wherever we went. It was a week before her check-up that it happened. We were all in the kitchen, when she looked up.
"Mama." She said and we all froze. Charlie looked at us but Jake and I looked at her.
"What did you say sweetie?" I asked.
"Mama." She repeated and reaches for me. I picked her up and pointed at Charlie.
"Who's this?" I asked.
"Pops." She giggled and I glanced at Jacob.
"And who is this?" I asked pointing at him.
"Dada." Jake and I looked at each other with stunned eyes. Charlie took her from me and started walking out of the kitchen.
"I'll watch Noah and Marie. You tow talk." He said and we looked at each other.
"She called me Dada." He said and I nodded.
"I get why she would I mean, you're her all the time and we have kissed in front of her, that's something mom's and dad's do." I hesitated. "Are you okay with her calling you that because if you're not we can talk to her about it you know." I said.
"I don't mind her calling me that it's just that I didn't expect it." He said.
"You and me both. I don't mind her thinking you're her dad, it's not really that big a deal. We are together and I have no intention of changing that." I said pulling him to me. He smiled down at me.
"I wish this was real." He said.
"What?" I asked.
"I wish this was really our life, really our family." He said. I looked up at him.
"It can be Jake." I said softly and he kissed me hard.
"I've got to say something Bella." He said and I looked at him. "I love you." He said. I didn't hesitate.
"I love you too Jake." I said and he kissed me. He laughed and pulled away.
"You know what this means?" He asked.
"What?" I asked.
"We managed to have two kids and be a family together without ever having sex. That takes skill." He joked and I pushed him lightly.
"You're such a dork Jake." I said.
"But I'm your dork." He said.
"Wouldn't have it any other way." I said and he kissed me again. We both heard Charlie clear his throat.
"I left you in here to talk not to make out." He said but he was smiling.
"We did talk; we just got a little distracted." Jake said and we all laughed. It was a good life.
