Jacob's P.O.V!!!!

Chapter 10

I immediately jumped to her when she winced and readjusted herself. She was due in just two weeks and she was swelled up like a hot air balloon. I really was kind of concerned that she was going to pop.

"You okay, hun?" I asked, showing my concern.

"Jacob! I honestly am fine! Look at me! I'm as big as a house! I constantly have to move around to get comfy. It's normal. I promise I will tell you if I'm going into labor." She rolled her eyes and focused back to the television. I couldn't help it I was over protective. She was my love and I will never find another like her. I had to keep her safe no matter what.

"Fine. Are you comfortable now?" I pondered.

"Eh, I'm okay. I've been better," she admitted. I scooted over to her and pulled her into my chest, belly out. There was just no way she would fit otherwise.

"What about now?" I whispered. I have to admit, it is kind of hard to be romantic with a pregnant woman.

"Very," And she cuddled closer. I held her there, playing with her golden-brown hair, stroking the back of her hand, just anything to relax her. She needed it now more than ever. I felt her body gently rise up and down as she breathed. It gradually slowed until I heard her let out a little snore. She had fallen asleep. I reached over and grabbed her fleece blanket. I draped it over her carefully as she slept soundly. I mindlessly watched TV as she kept dreaming.

Then I began to think. In just two weeks I was going to be a Dad. I would be called Daddy and Dad and Da-Da. I would be a role model and a hero. I would celebrate Father's Day. Edward and I would have something in common. Bottles, diaper-changing, and bath time was my daily agenda. I was completely ecstatic for all these new responsibilities, but kind of scared at the same time. The feeling made me feel queasy.

I also was excited for Renesmee's reactions. She has all sorts of surprises coming her way in two weeks. I just hoped she could handle it. I knew everything about her pregnancy and she didn't. She didn't want to know. So Carlisle told me everything. She's something, that Nessie.

While I was deep in thought, Nessie suddenly jolted her body and quickly popped her eyes open. She twisted to look at me, as if she were checking I was still here. I had subconsciously tightened my arms around her, so she pushed at them a little to make more room.

"What's wrong? Why'd you wake up so suddenly?" I inquired. She looked upset.

"I didn't mean to. I was sleeping so well, and then it started kicking like a wild man," she answered, a little disappointed. I laughed. She was so cute when she was mad. I kissed her lightly on her lips to soothe her. She kept her eyes closed and smiled after we were finished.

"It never ever gets old," she said, sounding fully content.

"Good. It better not." I added playfully.

"Jacob, do you really think it would? I love you more than life itself," she took my hand and looked at me earnestly. "I really do."

I took her face in my hands and kissed her again. It lasted longer this time. She was slightly gasping when she pulled away. I added, "I never doubted it for a second."

We were definitely having one of those cosmic moments when Carlisle walked in the room and interrupted everything. Gosh.

"Hello Nessie. Hello Jacob. How are you two?" He asked casually.

"Fine," we answered in unison in a light tone.

"Great. Nessie, if you can, please follow me upstairs to the medical room so I can give a final ultrasound and give you the final due date."

I immediately stood up in preparation to help Renesmee up. This was going to be extremely difficult. I probably was going to have to carry her up the stairs. She pulled off her cover, exposing her enormous belly that was covered by a specially made maternity shirt. Alice had ordered it about a week ago, so it was relatively new. Nessie stretched out her arms for me to grab. I pulled her up gently; just enough to where I could hold her with one hand and support her back with the other.

Once she was steady on her feet, I put my arm around her waist and allowed her to put all her weight on me. She still seemed fairly light, even with an occupied stomach. We hobbled over to the foot of the stairs where she paused and gazed. She had fear in her eyes, like she knew she couldn't make it up the flight.

"Hey Ness, don't worry. I'll carry you. I promise I won't let you fall," I reassured her. She turned her wrinkled brow into a smile. I started to hunch over and pick her up like a small child. This reminded me of our wedding, which seemed an eternity ago. I carried her the same way, minus the huge bump.

I lightly laid her on the examination table and brushed her hair from her face once she was settled. I mouthed "I love you" as Doc applied that jelly stuff to her abdomen. She reached for my hand as she turned her face away from the screen. She still insisted it be a surprise. What a surprise that'll be.

Carlisle gave a few Mmmm's and interested Huh's. I watched the screen intently as he moved the device back and forth. Renesmee studied my face intently as Dr. Carlisle worked. Occasionally I would glance down and give her a smile, but my face always returned to the back and white screen. Finally Carlisle spoke.

"Well Nessie, I actually have some interesting news. Judging from the size of the fetus and the measure of your stomach I think your due date has changed," he said.

"To when?" she asked, still facing away from the screen.

"Tomorrow," he answered simply.

And there I went. To the cold, tile floor.
