A sudden weight was lifted of the bed, and I was awoken by the difference of pressure on the king sized bed. Jacob froze in his position staring at me.
"I didn't mean to wake you! I just need to go to the toilet!" I couldn't help but laugh at his dancing on the spot.
"Go!" I shouted. He disappeared behind the door and I lay back on the bed. Memories from last night flooded into my mind. I thought nothing could be stronger than an imprint, but what I felt last night made me question that. I was awake now, so I couldn't fall back asleep. I got up and got ready in a cute yellow sundress. I began to unpack our suitcases; we hadn't had much time last night. Jake came back into the room and wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my neck.
"Hey, honey. How are you?"
I kissed his nose. "Never been better. So, what are we doing today?"
Jacob looked at me thoughtfully. "We could go to the beach?"
"Yeah! Jake, can we go hunting later? I'm thirsty. I haven't hunted in three days!"
He rolled his eyes. "You can be such a vampire sometimes Ness."
"Mmm, I think my vampire side is getting stronger."
We left not long after, heading into the bright green forest. Jake transformed and we raced through the woods, him showing off running circles around me. I'm sure I'm the only girl in the world who can say she spent her honeymoon chasing animals in a forest with her werewolf husband. After the unsuspecting lions were killed and I was fulfilled, we headed down to the beach. Mom had told me about when her and dad went snorkelling and I wanted to try. I pulled of my summer dress to reveal my pink bikini. Jacob looked me up and down grinning. He grabbed my hand and pulled me into the warm sea. The bright fish circled us as Jake and I blew bubbles under the water. We followed a group of dolphins, holding on to them as they pulled us through the underwater world. It was a beautiful experience. Finally we both dropped onto the beach, completely drained of energy. We lay in the sun for ages, just holding each other. It felt so different in this beach than our time together on La Push beach or our new one in Corvallis.
Back home, we flopped down on the couch with a DVD. I buried my head in Jake's muscled chest. "You know, I can think of other ways to spend tonight..." He trailed off,
tracing his fingers along my waist. The talking stopped there.
Time went too quickly. It seemed like the time we had been here lasted only a few hours, when in reality it was nearly three weeks. We called mom and dad often, and they kept asking when we were coming home. I began to wonder.
"Jacob, how long are we staying here?"
He paused the game he was playing. "How long do you want to stay?"
I smiled. I wanted to stay forever. "I miss home, I really do, but I love it so much here! Then again, this is my house, so I guess we can come back anytime, right?"
"Anytime at all."
I nodded. "Okay, how about two more weeks? That will give me enough time to say goodbye to here."
"Sure, sure Nessie."
I stared at Jacob as he began killing the aliens in his game. I still couldn't understand how I was destined to be with him. It seemed impossible; surely he should be with someone as wonderfully perfect as him? I had the compulsive need to be with him constantly. I had a need for him. I fidgeted in my chair as my thoughts grew. Would I ever be able to go an hour without thinking about him? I doubted it. As much I loved the days in our Hawaiian cottage, it was nothing to how much I looked forward to the nights with Jacob. I didn't want to interupt his game, so I decided to distract myself with food. Eggs seemed pretty good. I'd always loved eggs, when Momma was pregnant with me she craved eggs. I made scrambled eggs and was in the middle of eating them when Jake came in with bacon. I wrinkled my nose. Yuck, I hated bacon. I hated most red meat. I scarfed my eggs down quickly followed by a glass of milk. I went to check in the cupboards for anything else I could nibble on when I noticed something we had bought in the supermarket when we first came here. I pulled the box out. Jacob looked up and wrinkled his nose.
"A pregnancy test? Do you think your pregnant?"
I stared at the box. "I don't know. I mean, we've had enough chances, haven't we?"
He nodded. "You're right. Do it."
I walked to the bathroom and took out the little white stick. Following the instructions on the box I took the test. While it was working I went to sit with Jacob, holding his hand. I was really nervous, shaking slightly. Jacob hugged me tightly. It would probably take a minute, most pregnancy tests did.

I took a deep breath, wondering why time was slowing down.

"Jake, are you nervous?"
He glanced down at the floor, fidgeting. "Yes."

We both stood up, walking towards the result.

It was negative.
Stupidly, I burst into tears. "I'm s-sorry. I don't k-know why I'm crying. I was just s-so sure..." The tears came harder then. This honeymoon I hadn't even thought of being pregnant until I had taken that stupid test, and now I'm crying over it. Jacob pulled me close, rocking me lightly. "W-What if we're too late? What if my body is fully grown? Carlisle c-could have gotten his estimates wrong, maybe there isn't even a chance of me getting p-pregnant! I'm so sorry Jacob." I blurted it out so fast human ears wouldn't understand. Jacob was silent, staring at the floor.
"You're mad at me." I stated. I jumped off his knees. "Do you hate me?"
Jacob's head snapped up, the expression on his face confused and a little angry. "What? Nessie, I could never hate you. I love you too much. How could you not know that by now? I'm not angry at you, I'm angry at myself. I shouldn't have gotten your hopes up. I hate seeing you like this, so upset. That's why I'm angry; because I've made you upset."
"Oh." I moved back to him wiping my leaking eyes. "This isn't your fault, of course it's not. I'm being stupid. I'm crying over something that was never mine to begin with. I'm crying over an imaginary thing. We're stronger than this, right?"
"Nessie babe, we're stronger than everything."
I snuggled my head into his neck. "Sorry." I whispered again. "I love you. I just really thought I could've been pregnant."
Jacob walked to the test. "Me too." He lifted the box and read it intently. I didn't know what he was doing. His whispered "two minutes" under his breath. Did he want two minutes alone? Maybe he need time to himself. I nodded in agreement and began to walk away from the room. "Nessie, the test takes two minutes, not one. It's positive. You're pregnant."
I spun around vampire style. It took a minute to enter my brain. "I'm pregnant?"
He threw the test down and ran over to me, lifting me gently and hugging me. "We're pregnant."
A/N- Sorry this chapter took so long, but I only got like three reviews and lost my inspiration. I had about 10 story and author alerts though, so please, if you read, make sure you review! It'll be quicker next time then... Enjoy.
