Chapter 50: Countdown to the Big Day
Jacob carried me bridal style, from the limousine, directly into our bedroom and closed the door. He gingerly laid me on the bed, and cuddle next to me. He stripped me of my pants, but left me in his T-Shirt to sleep. I loved sleeping in his T-Shirt, it smelled so much like him, I felt almost as enveloped by him as when we made love.
"Today was some day honey," he whispered in my ear, as he drew circles on my belly with his fingers.
"Yeah, I am so exhausted, from the spa, to the shower, to the club, but mostly you at the club, I have never felt so tired," I replied in a yawn, and added, "or more safe, because I am in your arms."
"There are only two nights left until the wedding, and according to tradition, I am not supposed to spend tomorrow night with you. I think your Dad is going to want me to keep that tradition."
"We are also supposed to both be virgins on our wedding night and not expecting our first child. Plus, one of us is a half-vampire and the other is a shape shifting wolf," I said wryly.
Jacob rolled his eyes and said, "My point is, that I think that this is our last night together until the wedding, and I am glad that we had such a good day together." He leaned down and gently kissed my cheek. He continued to caress my belly, and then he rested his head on my abdomen, and began to talk to it.
"Little baby, I'm your Daddy, Jacob, and right now you are inside your mother Renesmee, but everyone calls her Nessie. I just wanted you to know that we both love you very much and that we can't wait to meet you. I also wanted you to know that your mother and I love each other very much, and we have eternity as a family, to get to know you, and take care of you." He kissed my belly and continued to trace circles on it.
I leaned down a kissed the top of Jacob's head. "Jake, do you want the baby to be a boy or a girl?"
"As long as the baby is healthy, I don't care," he replied honestly.
"But if you had a choice, which would you want?"
Jacob rolled his eyes and looked uncomfortably up at me. "I guess I would want a little girl, who looks like you." He said, and then rolled his head back towards my stomach.
"I want a little Jacob, with black hair and dark brown eyes."
"Mostly, right now, I just want to make it official that you are my wife. I already consider you my wife, my soul mate, so much more than words can say, but in two more days, it will be official, and I will for eternity be the happiest man on earth," he said, and kissed my womb.
"I love you so much Jacob. I am so happy to be having a family with you. I'm starting to show a little, did you notice? Grandpa Carlisle thinks that my pregnancy is going at twice the speed of a normal human's so I am the equivalent of two months pregnant. He wants to do an ultrasound on me tomorrow."
Jacob leaned down again and kissed my belly, and then he pulled himself up so that we were face to face. He then kissed me gently on the lips, and then rolled me over so that we could spoon with each other for the rest of the night.
Jacob woke at 5:30 am to eat breakfast before wolfing out on the back porch. I got up to eat with him, because I wanted to spend every possible second of today with him. Tomorrow it would be official, I would be Nessie Black, and just the thought of that made my heart beat faster. I had no doubts about the wedding. I knew that Jacob was my one and only, and I could not picture myself with anyone else.
Even though he was in his wolf form, I sat out on the porch with his most of the morning. I ran my fingers through his russet brown hair, and he nuzzled me with his nose. Around 1pm, Jacob ran suddenly into the woods to phase. I was startled and scared, but assumed that I was not in an immediate danger, because Jacob would not have ran off and left me if I was. Jacob slowly walked back toward the house, shaking his head.
"You are not going to believe this, but Robert imprinted last night," he said dryly.
"So what's the big deal, at this point, don't most wolves imprint," I asked.
"It's who he imprinted on that is the problem, well at least issue," Jacob said, obviously conflicted. "Remember the half-vamp that bit him at Dawson's the first time he phased?"
"He imprinted on one of Nahuel's sisters," I asked, with my voice cracking.
"Yup. Robert said that they met last night. Robert went to a Goth Club after the Bachelor Party, and he met up with Kanachari there. He thought that they were going to tear each other apart at first, but all of a sudden, the imprint magic happened, at least for him, and now he feels that they are inseparable," Jacob said skeptically.
"You don't sound too convinced," I remarked.
"I'm convinced of how Robert feels, but I am not convinced of Kanachari's honesty," he replied.
"I have an idea. Have her meet with my Dad today to see if he can read anything in her mind. Also, Maggie will be here tomorrow, she has the ability to know when someone is lying, maybe she wouldn't mind helping us out."
"The two of them are in La Push in human form right now with Sam. I will tell him to escort them here. I want you locked in the house in case this is a set up."
"Then you need to be locked in with me. They have been gunning for you more than me. They blame you for Nahuel's death."
"Nessie, I will stay in wolf form. I will have the entire pack, your father and your uncles out here. She is not venomous. I am safe. Please don't argue this with me."
"Fine," I said in a huff, and turned to storm into the house, when Jacob grabbed me by my arm, twirled me around, and planted a very passionate kiss on me. "I love you Mrs. Black," he said with a great beaming smile on his face.
"Jumping the gun just slightly, aren't you? But I like it, and I kissed him back."
"Go get your Dad and Uncles for me please, and head inside, so I can go phase back into wolf form."
"Fine hubby," I said wryly.
Due to vampire hearing, Dad and my uncles were already on their way out the kitchen door to the back porch when I headed into the house. Grandpa Carlisle was waiting in the kitchen for me.
"Nessie, since Jacob is otherwise occupied, I would like to do that ultra sound now. I nodded, and followed him up the stairs to his study where he already had the machine set up.
I climbed on the table, and lifted the hem of my shirt up, and scooted the top of my pants down, so that Grandpa could conduct the test. He squirted very cold gel on my stomach, and then began to rub my stomach with a smooth wand like object. He didn't say much at first, he just moved the round the wand on my belly and said, "Humm", and then "Uh Ha," followed by an "Isn't that interesting."
"Is everything OK grandpa, don't keep me in suspense, I can't handle any more surprises," I said desperately.
"Your pregnancy appears to be proceeding at a normal human rate. The fetuses, which are both still quite small, appear to be developing well," He replied.
"Fetuses?"
"Yes Nessie, I was wrong when I said that your pregnancy appeared to be progressing at twice the normal human rate. The reason for your increased weight gain at this stage is that you are carrying fraternal twins. It is too early to tell their sex, etc., but at this stage, everything appears to be proceeding as normal," he replied in his best clinical voice.
"We are going to have two babies," I said as I grabbed Grandpa Carlisle and pulled him into a hug. He was also thrilled, but not that I just got ultra sound gel on his outfit.
"Grandpa, could I ask you a favor," I said, with happiness still beaming out of my every word.
"Sure Nessie, what is it?"
"I want to tell Jacob about the twins tomorrow, right after the wedding, do you mind? I want to give him the news as a wedding gift. I'll tell the rest of the family right after that, can you keep the secret for another day."
"That sounds wonderful Nessie, I can agree to that."
Dad came into the room a few moments later.
"Carlisle, why are you reciting "A Midsummer Night's Dream," he asked.
"To protect Nessie's privacy, trust me that it is nothing bad," Grandpa replied.
"Well I came to tell you news on Kanachari. It appears from reading her mind, and from Jaz reading her emotions that she is telling the truth. She was betrothed to Felix, but never felt an attraction or connection to him. Yohan had convinced her that her life would that of a princess once she married one of the Volturi, but she seems to have authentic feelings for Robert," he explained.
"She tried to kill him a few days ago, and now they are in love," I questioned.
"It appears that way. To be especially safe though, I called Maggie, and she is taking an earlier flight out for the wedding. She will be here tonight by 11 pm. She will question Kanachari to ascertain her true intentions and feelings toward Robert. In the mean time, she is being kept in the woods by Sam's pack under 24 hour surveillance," Dad stated.
"What about her sisters and Yohan," I asked.
"Her sister's names are Esmeralde and Adora. They are both over one hundred years old, where as Kanachari is only about 20. They will not stop trying to revenge Nahuel's death, and they are particularly upset about not being welcomed into the Volturi any longer. It seems that Jane has taken Aro's place in the family, and she did not approve of the subjugation of women. They were cast out of the Volturi as soon as word made it to Italy of Aro, Felix, and Demetri's deaths. They will not stop, and neither will Yohan, according to Kanachari," Dad replied.
"Where are they now," I asked.
Dad replied, "According to Kanachari, they have been staying in Vancouver. They have been staying close enough to conduct surveillance, but far enough way that they are not easily detected. Kanachari said that they were the only family that she has ever had, but now that she has found Robert, she wants him to be her family."
Maggie arrived at our house with Siobhan and Liam at 11pm exactly.
"Nessie," Maggie cried, and threw her arms around me in a joyous hug. "Expecting a wee one are ya?"
"Maggie, I am so happy to see you," I said, and then greeted Siobhan and Liam in the same way.
"So where is this hybrid that I need to question," she said, not wanting to delay her business, so that she could get right back into the party mood.
"She is out on the back porch with Jacob and the wolf pack. Her name is Kanachari. One of the wolves imprinted on her yesterday. Since, she tried to kill him earlier this week, we want to make sure that she is telling the truth when she now says that she loves him," I replied.
Maggie nodded and followed me out the door to the porch, where all the wolves of Jacob's pack were sitting with Kanachari in human form, except Jacob himself, who probably stayed in wolf form so that he could communicate with Sam.
"Hello, I'm Maggie," she said, introducing herself to the group, "Is this is the girl who is causing all the trouble," she said as she gestured toward Kanachari.
"My name is Kanachari, and I am not trying to cause any trouble, at least not anymore," she said, as she kissed Robert passionately on the lips.
Kanachari was a beautiful and exotic looking girl. She had Russet skin like Jacob, but with a pale sheen to it. She had braided long dark hair that trailed down to her waist line, and big expressive dark brown eyes. She was truly a beauty.
"So you love him," Maggie asked.
"More than I knew was possible," Kanachari answered.
"True," Maggie said and nodded.
"Where do your allegiances lie, with Robert, the Cullen's and the shape shifters, or with your family," Maggie prodded.
"My allegiance is to Robert, and if he is in alliance with his pack and the Cullen's, than I am too," Kanachari replied.
"True," Maggie said.
"What do you want from the rest of your life," asked Maggie.
Kanachari took a deep breath and answered, "Robert told me about the relationship that Jacob and Nessie have. I want that type of family. I want that relationship. I want to feel love, not strive to be opportunistic. I want the chance to have children. I want to have a life with Robert."
"True," said Maggie.
"Does anyone else have any questions that you need me to act as a lie detector test for, if not, I would like to go check into my hotel," Maggie replied.
Everyone shook their heads. It appeared, at least for now that Kanachari was no longer a danger to us, and may even serve as a valuable ally against her family if necessary.
Jacob ran back into the woods to phase into human form. When he came back I ran into his arms, and gave him a passionate kiss.
Mom came to the back door and said, "Nessie, tonight you are going to stay with me, and Jacob is going to stay at Billy's. No protesting."
Aunt Alice came running up behind Mom, "You better get anything that you need from the first floor right now, because you are not going to be allowed back down here until the ceremony tomorrow."
I just rolled my eyes, and went back to kissing Jacob. He pulled away after several minutes and said, "I am really not trying to piss off the family I am going to be spending eternity with, I've got to go. They have Billy waiting up for me."
"I love you Jacob Black, my Jacob," I said, and kissed him once more tenderly.
"You are my entire world Nessie," he said, as we parted, and he made his way toward the tree line to head toward Billy's. The rest of the wolves and Kanachari made there way home by car.
I made my way upstairs to my parents' room. They sat on the couch, cuddled together, and read poetry to me, like they used to when I was little, until I drifted into a deep, but anxious sleep. Unlike other sleeps, I was not anxious from fear, but anxious because I was going to be getting everything I wanted from life tomorrow, to be Mrs. Jacob Black.
