Chapter Ten
Jacob's Point of View
Authors Notes: Sources: menu/rovers-seattle
I brush my hair back smiling like an idiot the whole time. Jacob Jr. sits lays on my bed in his tux with my tux sitting right next to him. I pull my tux on straightening it in the mirror. I had thirty minutes till I had to pick up Bella from her room. Jacob Jr. Starts to cry making me sigh having to un do his suit and shirt to put the key into his back.
"What that Jr." Bella asks I turn around to look at her; she's dressed in a blue halter top dress and black shoes.
"Uh ya" I mutter trying to get my words out. "I got it though, don't worry about it." She nods looking from me to Jr in my arms, then leaves to go back to her room. I finally get him settled and carefully put his clothes back on and put him in his car seat. I grab Jr and walk across the hall breathing in and out twice before knocking lightly on Bella's door.
"Hey" She greets wearing a black jacket over her dress. "Ready" She asks smiling.
"Uh yeah" I say holding out my arm for her to hold, she takes it I hold Jr in my other hand and we walk down the stairs together.
"Wow you guys look nice" Charlie says as we reach the bottom. "Going out?" He asks.
"Yes sir" I say, he smiles.
"Do you need a babysitter?" Dad asks a mischievous smile on his face.
"We do need to pass this class dad, so no I think we got it covered." I say as Bella grabs the diaper bag, slipping her wallet and keys into it. I grab her hand in mine. "Ready to go" I ask she nods and we leave out the front door. Bella takes Jr. from me buckling him in the middle of the truck and getting in on the passenger side. I start the truck and drive out of La Push and though Forks.
"Where are you taking me" Bella asks looking out the window.
"Somewhere" I grin looking at her once then turn my attention back to the road. Tonight was surprisingly clear, no rain just a little bit of clouds. I could kind of see the stars, if I looked in the right spot.
"Why won't you tell me" She begs.
"It's a secret"
"Jacob" She whines slightly I can see her fighting a smile out of the corner of my eyes.
"Bella" I mock her whining voice, I don't look over to see the smile I know appeared. I wipe my forehead with the back of my hand and crack my window. For some reason it was really hot in her, and I don't think its nerves.
"What are we doing tomorrow" She asks looking at me; I look over at her smiling.
"That's a surprise too" I grin at her, she sighs sitting back in her seat. She watches out the window as the cab grows quiet, only the engine roaring can be heard. Small drops of water hit my window, I sigh so much for a dry night. I pull up to the restaurant.
"Were not eating here" She states I look at her like she's crazy.
"You don't like it?" I question taking Jr. from her hands.
"I do, but it's so expressive" She says looking in the window.
"You're worth it" I say pulling her to my side and walking in through the double doors. Waiters rush to open them for us pulling them from our hands. Looks like they need to work on their door opening skills; No Jacob don't do this, don't complain about the little things the idiots do, this is your night, your night with the woman of your dreams.
"Table for two, and uh err a half?" The lady asks us looking at our baby in the car seat.
"Yes" I say smiling. "Can we get a high chair?" She nods grabbing one on her way past them, she leads us through what seems like a maze of tables until we reach a table in the back she puts the high chair up for us and hands us our menus after we take our seats.
"What are you doing?" Bella asks me, as I slide Jr. out of the car seat.
"You can't leave him in there; he'll suffocated by the straps." I tell her smiling and put him in the high chair with a blanket around him to keep him up right.
"Jacob he's not real" She whispers to me leaning in closely. I look at her in complete shock.
"What- what do you mean he's not real" I ask making my voice sound like that of a child's who just found out the truth on Santa, who is real by the way.
"Jacob" She scolds lightly, sighing and looking a Jr.
"Have you decided what you want to drink" a waiter asks coming over to us, his little note book thing open and a pen behind his ear.
"Uh not yet" I say he looks at me weirdly before walking away.
"What do you want" I ask Bella who is skimming her menu. I open mine trying to not look at the prices.
"Uh ill have the Salmon, Couscous, Spinach, Beurre Rouge with the watermelon soda" She says, I smile at her. I look at the picture man that did look delicious. "You?"
"The Oregon Rabbit, Wild Mushroom and a black coffee" I say, she smiles flipping over to it to see the picture.
"Ready to order" The waiter asks again.
"Yes, we'll have the Salmon, Couscous, Spinach, Beurre Rouge with the watermelon soda, and the Oregon Rabbit, Wild Mushroom and a black coffee" I say closing my menu handing it over, Bella does the same. "Oh and for later we'll take the Dark Chocolate Pot De Crème, Plum, and Meringue" I tell him. He nods and leaves to put our order in.
"This place is so nice" Bella whispers, then looks at Jr. and smiles. "He looks so out of place here"
"I'm sorry would your son like anything to eat" The waiter asks coming back over, I look at him then back at Bella trying not to laugh.
"No I think we got it covered" I say to him, what were they gunna do bring us a half filled bottle on a platter? "Thank you though" I say looking at him sincerely. Bella giggles across from me; I look back to her smiling.
"Does he really look that life like?" She asks I shrug and smile. Our drinks are brought out to us as Bella places a fake dolls baby bottle in front of Jr. The waiter looks at us like we're nuts.
"They might call the little men in white jackets on us" I whisper, she giggles more.
"They'll take you first and ill sneak out the back."
"Oh thanks for trying to save me"
"Someone has to get the truck home" She shrugs sipping her drink; I roll my eyes at her. Jr. begins to cry she sighs and begins to stand up.
"Let me, I pull him up grab the key and a fake diaper and head to the men's restroom.
"Cute kid" One of the guys comments on his way out, I nod looking at him weird as he walks away. I quickly pull his jacket and dress shirt off pushing the keys into his back. He takes a while before he is calm and then I dress him and leave the room.
"False alarm" I say smiling putting him back in the high chair. "The people here are weird" I tell her then find out the waiter was standing beside me with the food. Oops.
We eat in silence Jr. remains quiet, and the waiter doesn't come back to check on us, until he hands Bella the bill, I snatch it from her before she can see it. Idiot, who hands the woman the bill? This is clearly a date. I place a few twenties on the bill inside the little pouch and add a five for his tip, and a note explaining why.
"Let's go" I suggest she nods taking my arm, I hold the car seat with Jr. inside it. We head to the door, smiling as best we could at the people who smile at us first.
"Excuse us" a voice comes I look up seeing Sam and Emily, since when can they afford a place this nice. "Oh hello Jacob, Bella." He greets the walks away with Emily on his arm; I guess he left the baby with Leah. I snicker inwardly at how messed up of relationship that must be, having a "kid" with the man your cousin is dating, the very cousin he dumped you for.
"What's so funny" I look down at Bella, she's been watching me.
"Nothing" I say opening her door for her and handing her Jr. I quickly run around the side of the truck getting in before getting soaked completely through and start the engine.
X
"Good Morning" Bella whispers, I open my eyes seeing her at my door. She smiles crawling into my bed next to me still in her pjs; of shorts and a sports bra thing. "Did I wake you up?"
"No" I smile pulling her into my side; she snuggles in wrapping her arms around my chest and pulling her knees up to my side. I pull the blankets up around us, even though it was really hot already.
"What are we doing today?" She asks, it was Sunday. I shrug not really knowing what to do, kind of wanting to stay in.
"I could help you with the Rabbit, I know a little about cars from Phil but not much" She tells me I roll over pulling her closer in my arms smiling.
"You do?" I question kissing her forehead, then looking down at her. "What's with the face" I say looking straight at the pout on her lips.
"You missed" She says trying to keep the pout going the entire time she's talking.
"No I didn't" I smile kissing her lips softly once, twice, and then again. We hear feet on the stairs, I thought Charlie went to work.
"Quick" She whispers getting out of bed and running into the bathroom. I groan and roll over pulling the blankets with me.
"You guys up" Charlie asks, "Got in kind of late last night" I nod scratching my head. "Good, I'm off to work see you later" He says I nod watching him leave. I stand and pull some shorts on and a tee, heading out of my room I spot Bella trying to make a run for her room. Grinning I grab her wrists pulling her into me and against the wall.
"Where are you off too" I smirk down at her, she smiles up at me.
"I thought I would get dressed" She asks like it was some kind of real answer.
"You thought you would get dressed?" I ask she nods biting her lip. "Well hurry up then." I let her go after a quick kiss before walking down stairs to get some breakfast started.
"You know a guy could starve around here" Dad says to me when I get to the living room.
"It's not my fault you can't reach the stove top" I say to him, who just rolls his eyes.
"Can I get some scrambled eggs, toast, and an orange juice?" I roll my eyes getting the eggs out of the fridge. "Thanks son" He calls I hear the TV click on. Bella joins me down in the kitchen after a few moments leaning over the counter watching me cook.
"Your eggs are burning" She tells me I look over turning the gas off and pouring them on to three plates.
"Dad your eggs are done" I call.
"Well the least you could do is bring them in to me son" He calls I roll my eyes making Bella laugh lightly. At least she was enjoying herself. I had him the plate he takes them from me quickly. "You forgot my Orange Juice" He calls just as I'm about to leave. I walk into the kitchen finding Bella holding the glass out to me; I smile at her taking it and handing it to my father.
"Ready to go?" Bella asks, she smiles already rinsing off her plate.
"Did a vortex go through here while I was gone?"
"Is that some kind of fat joke?"
"Uh no?" I say unsure of how it could be.
"Hurry up I'm gunna get Jr. ready for the day" She says walking upstairs. I eat my food quickly, and then run out the garage to get a place set up to work on the Rabbit. I grab a bucket suddenly feeling dizzy. Maybe it was just too hot in here, I suggest to myself opening the big door up to the pouring rain.
"Are you feeling ok" Bella asks coming down from the stairs placing Jr on the ground on a blanket. She feels my forehead with the back of her hand as I lean against the wall, trying to see straight. "Maybe you should sit down" She says forcing me to sit on the blanket next to Jr. "Ill be right back" She says walking back into the house.
Billy's Point of View
"Billy" Bella calls from the door walking into the house, I turn to look at her. "Jacob has a fever and he can't stand straight, do you think its food poisoning from the restaurant from last night." She asks, and so it has begun.
"I don't know, why don't you go wait with him while I make a call." I suggest trying to get her to leave the room, without trying to seem obvious about it, she nods and leaves. My fingers hastily hit the buttons as I wheel myself into the other room, away from waiting ears.
"Hello" Sam says just as he picks up the phone.
"He has the symptoms" I say he remains quiet for a while.
"Get him to leave the house, well take it from there" He says I nod, hanging up the phone knowing he can't really see my nodding.
