AN: Thank you to everyone one of my fans. I really appreciate you guys reading and reviewing. It really inspires me to keep writing.
Bella's POV:
I woke up as the sun hit my face. I stretched as I woke up and felt my back cringe up. I figured it had to be from Jacob picking me up and spinning me around yesterday. 'Gee thanks Jake.' I thought as I sat up. This backache required a long hot shower.
I threw my towel in the hamper as I exited the bathroom and walked back into my room.
I opened my closet and thought about what to wear today. I grabbed my black sweater and jeans. I got the sweater on ok but when I went to put on my jeans I couldn't get the button snapped. 'Ah, another joy of pregnancy. Goodbye jeans, hello sweats.' I thought as I took off my jeans and grabbed my black sweats.
As I finished brushing my hair my cell rang. I looked at the caller ID and saw it was Jacob.
"Hey Jake." I said as I opened my cell to talk to him.
"Hey Bella. I was wondering, what are you doing today?" He asked.
"Well, since SOMEONE picked me up and spun me around yesterday and made my back really sore... I think I'm just gonna stay home on the couch today." I told him.
I knew I wasn't going anywhere and I knew he wouldn't take that personal.
"Well you want some company? I could grab a couple of movies from the rental store and a pizza and hang with ya." He asked.
I knew I couldn't face the WHOLE day with Charlie without some help. And a movie day sounded really good.
"Ya know, that sounds really good." I told him.
"Great!" I could almost feel the excitement explode off of him by the way he sounded. "I'll be there in about an hour. What kind of movies do you want me to rent?"
I didn't know but I knew I didn't want a romance.
"How about an action and a comedy?" I suggested.
"Great! I'll be there soon. See ya then." He said.
"Ok, see ya soon." I said as I hung up the phone and sighed.
Guess I better go downstairs. I knew I had to face Charlie sooner or later. I just wanted it to be later.
When I got downstairs I noticed the TV wasn't on and Charlie wasn't in the living room or kitchen. I walked to the counter and saw a note.
'Harry and Billy invited me to go fishing. I'll be home late tonight. Here's a $20 for you and Jacob to order pizza.'
So we were avoiding each other? I could live with that for now.
I walked into the living room. Charlie's blanket and pillows were still sprawled over the couch. His "Vitamin R" cans and dinner dish was still on the coffee table. I had just finished cleaning his dishes when there was a knock at the door.
"Come on in Jacob." I said as I put the plate and glass in the cupboard.
He walked into the kitchen with a huge smile on his face.
"Hey Bella, how you feeling today?" He asked as he gave me a hug.
"Doing ok I guess, I mean...I haven't thrown up yet so, so far it's a good day." I said with a smile. Hey, if I was gonna be pregnant I was gonna make jokes about it.
He laughed as we walked into the living room and sat down. Him on the couch, me in my favorite recliner.
"So what movies did you get?" I asked.
"Up and Night at the Museum 2. Does that work?" He asked.
"Yeah those will work great. Which one do you want to watch first?" I asked.
"Well, I haven't seen Museum yet."
"Museum it is." I said as I grabbed the remote.
After the movie I looked at the clock. It was 3 o'clock and I didn't know about Jacob but I was hungry. But it was like he was reading my mind.
"You hungry?" He asked suddenly.
"Yeah, my dad left 20 bucks for pizza. You wanna order one?" I asked.
"Sure. What do you want on it?" He asked as he picked up the phone.
"How about mushrooms, onions, olives and sausage?" I asked.
He looked at me like I had just grown another head.
"What?" I asked.
"How bout that's all on one half and the other half is a meat lovers?" He asked. "No offense to the pregnant one but I don't like mushrooms or olives."
Suddenly I realized I hated mushrooms and onions.
I closed my eyes, smiled, and laughed. 'Thanks baby girl. Now you got me eating funky food too huh?' I thought.
"Sure. Sorry Jake. You can blame the baby for my freaky eating habits." I said as I got up to change out the movies.
"Now why would I blame an innocent baby for her mom's freaky eating habits?" He said with a huge smile on his face.
I had to hand it to Jacob. While I was good at banter, he was better.
Jacob got off the phone just as I pushed play on the movie.
"Pizza should be here in about an hour." he said as he plopped back down on the couch.
"Cool. So did we want to revisit our childhood of cartoons?" I asked with a smile on my face.
"Hey, Disney makes some freakin' cute characters. And there's nothing wrong with revisiting your childhood." He said with a cocky smile. He knew he had won that argument. I always loved the cute Disney characters.
When the pizza got here Jacob paid for it and got us some plates from the kitchen. He had a root beer with his pizza and I had a glass of milk. I always enjoyed milk so drinking it to keep the baby healthy was not a hard thing to do.
By the time the movie was over it was getting dark outside.
"Hey Jake, you better get home before it gets too dark." I said as I took the movie out of the dvd player.
"Yeah, my dad wants me home by 6 and it's 5 now so I better go." He said as he grabbed the dvd case for the movie.
While he got the movie put away and grabbed the pizza box I grabbed our dinner plates and cups and put them in the sink.
"So you wanna hang out tomorrow?" He asked.
I was exhausted. I needed to recharge.
"Actually Jacob, I'll probably just take a personal day tomorrow. I need to recharge my battery."
"That's fine. I'll give you a call later this week ok?" He asked as he put on his coat.
"Yeah that'll be ok." I said as I walked him to the door.
He gave me hug and walked to his car. I watched til he got onto the road and then shut the door.
Jacob was a great friend. I just still wasn't sure if I wanted him or Mike there for the full support I still needed.
'This is going to be a tough decision.' I thought.
Suddenly my exhaustion hit me. Going to bed super early sounded really good right now.
I crawled into bed and didn't even have time to finish a full thought before my eyes closed and I fell into a deep sleep.
OK PLEASE REVIEW folks! PUSH THAT BUTTON PEOPLE!
