Thank you for the reviews! This is the last chapter and then I will be starting on the sequel. Are you guys excited, I hope you are. There are still some unanswered questions which will be taken care of in the sequel. I'm not sure what I want to name it yet and I was hoping you all could help me. I will put a poll on my profile and let you all vote for a title.
Warning: This chapter is not really long. I don't want to call it an epilogue, but I think that is what you all will call it once you see how short it is. Haha
I don't own Twilight or the characters!
Two weeks later
"Please stop crying, please just stop." I maneuvered around the small kitchen trying to prepare two bottles. The twins were screaming bloody murder as I tried to fix the bottles as fast as I could. Every time one twin cried the other followed suit. So just imagine what they did at 4am. Jacob was out patrolling with Seth, Paul and Sam. Sam had not talked to me since the last time I saw him at the Cullens. He only spoke with Jacob when they were phased and even then he didn't say much. My mother and Seth helped Jacob and I out a lot. My mother always made sure we had a abundant amount of diapers and that my breast pump was still functioning properly. She didn't like the idea of me pumping my milk and kept suggesting that I actually breast feed the twins. I decided not to breast feed them because I heard it made your nipples hurt. I didn't enjoy the fact that my nipples would be sore, so I just pumped my milk instead.
"Okay, okay. Shh, I got your food," I said placing the bottles in the twins mouths. They both gazed up at me as they ate. They were so alert to be only two weeks old and that worried me. I hoped they didn't have a speedy growth and phase at a young age. It would be nice if they didn't phase at all, but the chances were not slim at all. Two people with the wolf gene would create a shape-shifter child.
"Is it good," I asked the twins as they gulped down the milk. "You two must have been hungry. You've got some big appetites."
"They're eating again," Jacob asked coming through the back door.
"Yep. They have big appetites. I don't know if I have enough milk for them," I replied leaning into Jacob.
"Oh I'm sure there is enough milk in those jugs," Jacob said looking at my chest.
"Shut up." I playfully pushed Jacob out of the way with my hip.
"I'll help you feed them. You're running out of hands here."
"Thanks."
"Why are you thanking me? I'm just being a father," Jacob laughed.
"You're doing a good job."
"You too. Have you talked to Seth today," I asked picking JJ up so I could burp him.
" Yea, he is coming by today. He said he will watch the twins while we go have some time to ourselves."
"That was nice of him. What are we going to do," I asked.
"Hmm, I don't know. Maybe we can just go out to eat or something. We need 'us' time every now and then right," Jacob asked rubbing my arm.
"I guess, but do you think Seth can watch him all by himself? That is a lot of work for someone who has never done it. You think we should tell Embry and Quil to come help him out."
" If you want, but I think Seth can handle it all on his own. I handled it on my own the other day while you were out patrolling," Jacob replied.
"Yea and remembered what happened. You lost A'Liyah's binky and you forgot to put the diaper rash ointment on JJ," I said laughing.
"Hey it was first time alone with them. I'm still learning here," Jacob said sounding a little offended.
" I was only kidding with you Jake. You're doing a great job, although I'm still mad at you for losing the binky. That one was A'Liyah's favorite one." Jacob rolled his eyes and picked A'Liyah up to burp her.
"Don't you think mommy is overreacting. You are perfectly fine with the binky that daddy got you, right," Jacob asked A'Liyah. A'Liyah looked at him wide eyed as he spoke.
"I think she is wondering what the hell you're talking about," I said wiping JJ's mouth off. He cooed as I rocked him in my arms.
"Have they taken a nap today," Jacob asked.
" A little cat nap. They woke up within thirty minutes because they were hungry."
" Well I'm going to put A'Liyah to sleep. We need to have some daddy and daughter bonding time," Jacob winked and retreated to the bedroom.
We had turned Jacob's old room into a nursery and moved into Billy's old room. I followed Jacob into the nursery and sat in one of the rocking chairs.
"Isn't this crazy," Jacob asked pacing the room, rocking A'Liyah in his arms.
"What's crazy?"
"We're parents. Never thought this day would come. I honestly never thought I would have kids," Jacob replied.
"I didn't think I could even get pregnant. I gave up on the thought of kids when I phased. Thanks Jake."
"For what?"
"Giving me a chance at this mother thing and giving me two beautiful children," I said.
"You're welcome, but you kind of helped too." Jacob grinned and laid A'Liyah down in her crib. " She falls asleep pretty fast, wonder where she gets that from." Jacob raised an eye brow.
" She didn't get that from me, that is all you. She is truly her father's child. I can already see a little of you in her already," I said kissing JJ's forehead.
" Yea she does act a little like me. I saw her doing that frown I always do the other day. It was my infamous 'what the fuck?' frown," Jacob said sitting down next to me. "This is going to be our little fighter. I bet he will be very protective of A'Liyah."
"Hell who won't? I might have to sneak the girl out on a few dates because she won't be able to bring the guy home."
" I will meet the guy sooner or later and I'm sure JJ will tell me about him," Jacob rubbed JJ's head before taking him out of my arms. He kissed JJ's forehead and laid him down in his crib. I kissed A'Liyah's forehead and Jacob grabbed my hand.
" We have some free time," Jacob said wiggling his eye brows.
"So I'm guessing you want to use this free time doing something that got us in trouble in the first place?"
"I think you're right Miss Clearwater," Jacob kissed my neck and led me out of the nursery.
Two hours later the twins were wailing . I knew they were hungry again and probably needed their diapers changed. After cleaning them up and feeding them, Jacob and I decided to take them to Billy and Sarah's grave. Jacob had not been to the cemetery for a long time and he said he needed to go see his father.
"You ready," I asked as Jacob pulled up to the cemetery.
"Yea, I think I am," Jacob replied. He gave my hand a little squeeze and looked back at the twins. " I think I should introduce them to their grandpa." Jacob got out of the car.
He carried JJ while I cradled A'Liyah in my arms. Jacob stopped in front of his parent's graves.
"Hey dad, hey mom. I've got some little people that I think you should meet. This is Jacob Michael and A'Liyah Melissa. I know you would have adored them and mom you would have spoiled them," Jacob spoke. He looked back at me and smiled. " I finally got Leah Clearwater to be mine too. You bugged the crap out of me about Leah dad. Now I have her and I'm sure you are happy about that."
"I'm going to give you some time alone. I'm going to visit my dad," I said kissing Jacob's cheek.
My father's grave was clear on the other side of the cemetery.
"Hi daddy. I know I haven't been out here in a while. Of course you know how hard it's been for me to come out here. You know I hate cemeteries and most of all I hate seeing people I love in them. Um, I brought someone with me that I wish you could meet. Her name is A'Liyah and she has a twin brother named Jacob Jr. I'm sure you wondering if I'm fit enough to be a mother since I always carried my dolls the wrong way," I chuckled. " But I think I'm doing a good job and Jacob's helping me out a lot too. I miss you dad, I really do."
I felt a warm hand rest on the small of my back.
"Thanks for bringing us here Jake," I said leaning back into Jacob's chest.
"No problem. I think we both needed to come. You ready to go?"
"Yea. Bye dad, I love you," I kissed his head stone and grabbed Jacob's hand.
" I got this sis, please stop your worrying," Seth said trying to push me out the door.
"Are you sure? There is milk in the fridge, make sure you put it in the microwave for ten seconds before giving it to them. Remember to use the diaper rash ointment too. Oh an-"
"Leah shut up and go. Jacob is waiting in the car for you. I will call you if something goes wrong, which it won't. Your baby brother is good with the kids, so don't worry. Bye Leah," Seth pushed me out the door and shut it in my face. I smiled and made my way to the car.
"Took you long enough," Jacob complained, pulling out of the driveway.
"I had to make sure Seth knew what he was doing."
"Leah he knows what he's doing. Stop your worrying."
"If you two tell me to stop worrying one more time, I am going to scream," I replied.
"He's got everything under control Lee," Jacob grabbed my hand and kissed my knuckles.
"He better. I just don't want him to be overwhelmed when both of them start crying."
"He'll probably have a moment where he wants to cry himself, but I think he will do fine," Jacob said.
About an hour later, we pulled up to a restaurant in Port Angeles. They had the best sea food that any restaurant could have and the service was pretty good.
" You do notice you're eating all the cheesy garlic biscuit," Jacob asked me taking a sip of his water.
" I am hungry, plus these things are addicting," I said grabbing another biscuit.
"What if I like them too," Jacob asked.
"I advise you get one before I eat them all."
"No you go ahead and eat up, I'm saving my appetite for the actual meal," Jacob replied.
"Jake, I'm sure you could eat two baskets of these and still eat your dinner."
" You're right, but I don't want any. You can eat them all if that's what makes you happy." Jacob smiled and stared at me as I continued to eat the biscuits. I bit into one and there was something hard in it.
"Ow, what the hell," I spit the hard piece of metal out into my hand. It was a silver ring with three diamonds inside. "Um the cooks left me a little present."
"No I left you a little present," Jacob said.
"Huh?"
"I put it in the biscuit when you went to the bathroom," Jacob explained.
"Um, okay. Thanks I guess," I said cleaning the ring off.
"I'm thinking you don't know what the ring is for."
"I think I see where this is going, but I'm not going to assume," I replied.
Jacob laughed. "I want you to marry me Leah."
My mouth fell open. "You want me… to marry…you?"
"Yea, that's what I said. So what do you say," Jacob asked.
I gasped.
That proposal was so Jacob, he would be the one to put a ring in food. Haha! I will be starting on the sequel soon. I'm still trying to think out how I want the sequel to play out, so it might be posted next week. I want to thank you all for sticking with this story and for all the lovely reviews. It made me proud to actually have a story that people read and enjoyed. The first chapter of the sequel will pick up from here and then I will skip ahead a few years. So put me on your alerts so you know when I post the sequel. Remember to take the poll on my page, I really need help picking a title. Thanks again for all the support!
