Chapter 36: Even Worse Than Hearing It from Your Parents

Jacob and I quickly made lunch, and ate in the kitchen in silence. I know I felt embarrassed that my now permanent lack of virginity had become such a focal point with my family over the last few days, so I was sure that Jake felt just as embarrassed, if not more so.

"Can you go let the wolves and imprints know about being here tonight for dress fittings. It is really short notice, but even if one of two of them come, I think that Aunt Alice will be happy," I asked Jacob, in more of an attempt to break the silence than anything else.

"Sure, sure," he said, and then went out the kitchen door to go phase. I collected the dishes from lunch and quickly washed them. I heard someone enter the room behind me, and I turned to see who it was. It was Grandpa Carlisle.

"Nessie, I am so glad to see you and Jacob back home with us, where you both belong," he said, and then he added, "When Jacob comes back in, would the two of you mind giving me a few minutes of your time in my study."

"Of course Grandpa," I answered quickly.

Jacob came back in seconds later, and I grabbed his hand, and pulled him to follow me and Grandpa upstairs to his study. Jacob didn't question why, he just happily followed. Grandpa held the door open for us, asked us both to have a seat, and then closed it behind us. It was very formal. It made me feel like I was going to someone's professional office instead of Grandpa's home study.

"I know that both of you have taken your relationship to a physical level recently," Grandpa Carlisle began, and took his seat behind his desk.

I was in complete and total shock. I couldn't believe it. MY GRANDFATHER WAS TALKING TO ME AND MY JACOB ABOUT OUR SEX LIFE, YUCK! I sensed that Grandpa could see the horror and repulsion in both mine and Jacob's faces, because he took in an unnecessary deep breath.

He looked us straight in the eyes, and began a speech which I was sure he had used on hundreds of patients during his many years of being a doctor. "I also am aware that you were both virgins when you decided to take your relationship to the next level, so the risks of STDs are low. However, some STDs can be transmitted in ways other than sex. I think it would be best if both of you had physical exams to ensure that there is nothing to be concerned about in that area.

I was stunned into silence. Jacob just sat there, holding my hand, stroking it with his thumb, and was using his other hand to cover his eyes, trying to bury his head like an ostrich.

"I am also concerned about family planning or contraception," Grandpa continued. I felt like I was going to fall out of the chair, because I knew what his next question was going to be before he even asked it, "Have the two of you used any form of birth control?"

Now I was starring down. I couldn't even imagine a more embarrassing situation than discussion birth control with my Grandfather, let alone the fact that we have not been using any.

Unable to form the words, I just shook my head to indicate no. Jacob squeezed my hand a little harder, trying to comfort me, but he was still too embarrassed to say anything.

"Well then Nessie, when was the date of your last period," Grandpa asked in very clinical fashion.

"About 28 days ago," I said, with my head down starring at the carpeting in the study.

"Nessie then I think it is important that first thing, you have a pregnancy test. It may be too soon to tell if you are pregnant or not, but you are a unique subspecies, and to my knowledge, a vampire hybrid has never been pregnant. In case you are, we need to take every precaution to ensure both yours and the baby's safety." Grandpa Carlisle replied.

"You think she could be pregnant," Jacob choked out, now glancing back and forth between my Grandfather and me. He did not appear to be scared; instead he appeared to be excited and hopeful.

"It is a possibility," Grandpa replied, "I have a test kit right here. I have the equipment to process the lab specimens for both of you right here."

"What is going to happen to me physically if I am pregnant? Is it going to be a high risk pregnancy like Mom's was," I asked, with panic clouding my voice. Unlike Jacob who seems to almost be glowing at the possibility that I could be pregnant, I was scared. I have a photographic memory, and I remember my birth. I remember that if my Dad had not turned her into a vampire, that she would have been dead right now. It wasn't as though I didn't want to have a baby; it was just that I just found Jacob. We had been together less than a month, and I didn't want to risk loosing him.

"Nessie you are a half vampire. You are much stronger than Bella was when she conceived and carried you. It should not be an issue as far has your strength to carry a baby. I have already been able to do sonograms of your pelvis in the past, so it appears you will be physically able to have children." Grandpa said, again in a very detached and clinical manner. He didn't usually talk to me like this, so my guess was that he was just as uncomfortable with discussing this with us, as we were.

"Plus," Grandpa added, "There is the consideration of chromosomal counts. Bella had 23 when she was a human and Edward 25 as a vampire, so there was more concern about what you would actually look like, when you were born. Both you and Jacob have 24 chromosomes, so I think that we should better know what to expect. Quileute's have normal pregnancies of 9 months. I think that if you were pregnant, your full term would probably be about 4.5 months, the midway between the two species. I can't know for sure though. But we are jumping ahead of ourselves. Right now Nessie, I need you to provide me with a urine sample, and while you are out of the room, I am going to get a blood sample from Jacob to check for STDs."

Grandpa handed me a urine sample cup, and I walked out of the office and down the hallway to the bathroom. I was flooded with overwhelming emotion, both fear and excitement, as I collected my sample, and then returned to his office with the cup. When I entered the room, Jacob still had a needle in his arm. I went over and left the cup, on his laboratory table, and then I turned and held Jacob's hand while Grandpa took numerous vials of blood.

"Nessie, I need you to take your sample, and dip the pregnancy test stick that I left on my desk into it for a few seconds, place the cap back on it, and let it sit for 5 minutes, then we will have the results," Grandpa said, "It is 2:15 pm now, we'll know the results by 2:20pm." He then took the needle out of Jacob as I proceeded with the instructions he just gave me.

"Jacob, you can get down now, and let Nessie up so I can get a sample of her blood." Getting a sample of my blood is no where near as easy as getting a sample of a human's or werewolf's. On the outside, I have Vampire skin, so Grandpa Carlisle had to bite through my skin with one of his incisors first, and then stick the needle in. Today just keeps getting better and better. Jacob scooted now held my hand, as I provided my blood sample. Jacob grimaced as he saw my Grandfather bite into my arm to be able to insert the needle. I thought Jake was going to pass out for a second, but he took several deep breaths, and his color returned. Grandpa removed the needle after taking several vials from me, and then walked over to the lab table where I had left the pregnancy test.

"Its 2: 17 pm, three more minutes to go," Grandpa said as he looked up at the clock on the wall. "In the interim, maybe you could both tell me what your plans are if you are pregnant? You both do have some options, although with your unique genetics, adoption is probably out of the question," he added, again very clinically.

"If I am pregnant Grandpa, then I want the baby. That isn't a question," I said acerbically.

"And you Jacob," Grandpa asked.

"Carlisle, there is nothing that I have ever wanted more than to have a family with Nessie," he said.

"Good, I am glad that you both feel prepared for children, because having children is not something that should be entered into lightly," Grandpa said.

Grandpa looked back up at the clock, "It is now 2:20pm, and your results are positive. Congratulations Nessie and Jacob."

Jacob jumped from the chair and hugged me tightly, twirling me around in his arms. I was ecstatic too. Although I hadn't been thinking about becoming pregnant while Jacob and I were making love, I was excited that I was going to experience motherhood and marriage with my Jacob.

Once Jacob put my down, a though occurred to me, and I decided to ask my Grandfather for some help. "Grandpa, you are really good at discussing all of this in a calm and clinical manner. Also, I think that you and Uncle Emmett or Jasper could restrain Dad if you had to, so do you think that you could help us tell my parents. They barely accepted my loss of virginity, and I really do not want this to turn out like that did. I really would rather not have to camp out in the woods until the dust settles now that I know I am pregnant."

"Of course Nessie, I'll call your parents and get Uncle Emmett and meet you back here in 5 minutes," Grandpa replied.

As Grandpa left the room, Jacob again scooped me up in his arms, this time bridal style, and kissed me passionately. He said, "You have just made me the happiest man alive, and I already thought I was. I can't believe how happy I am Nessie, but what about you? You will be giving up going to school, at least for a while, is this OK with you," he asked.

"Do you honestly think that I would give up having your child for high school? I have eternity to go to high school. I want to have your baby Jacob. It may not have been something that we were planning on yet, but I am not giving anything up," I said, as I looked into his deep dark eyes, to reassure him that I was as happy about this news as he was.

Uncle Emmett came into the office first. He was shaking his head and laughing; "Only you two would get pregnant on your first try."

"Uncle Emmett," I hissed, "You are here to ensure that Mom and especially Dad do not kill us. We are both very excited about this news; please don't ruin this for us."

"You know that I am only kidding. Congratulations Guys! You know that me, and especially your Aunt Rosalie will help you out in everyway that we can," he said seriously. "Let's grab two more chairs," he added, "I think that you and your parents should all be sitting, but I'll just stand here in the back like a bouncer, and break up a fight if needed."

Dad and Mom walked into the office about one minute later. Grandpa motioned for them to take seats, and this time he did not close the door, I assume so that if anything did turn ugly, the rest of the family could be here instantly to help stop the fight.

I looked at Grandpa, and he said to my parents, "I took the liberty, as the 'Family Physician' to discuss family planning with Jacob and Nessie," Grandpa said, "and now, Nessie and Jacob have some news that they would like to tell you.

Again, with all Jacob's bravery, he was embarrassed and nervous, so I took the lead again on telling my parents this information. "Mom, Dad," I started, "You know that Jacob and I love each other very much, and that we are planning on getting married in two weeks." After restating the obvious, which we had only hashed out about an hour ago, I took a deep breath and continued with the news, "Grandpa decided that we both needed to have physical exams since we took our relationship to a physical level, and well, the result of my physical is that I am pregnant."

As Dad lunged for Jacob, Uncle Emmett jumped in between.
