Chapter 14-Jacob
When I woke up, I turned over expecting my arm to hit Casey but he wasn't there. I sat up in bed and the smell of oranges, Reeses, and pizza hit me. Yum, the perfect human breakfast. What I heard wasn't right. Five heartbeats. Mine, the twins, and Casey's. But who was the other one? I couldn't smell anything but the food. So I decided to investigate. I put on a robe so I would look human enough. It could be a salesman, or one of my somewhat friends.
When I got to the kitchen I saw a tall man with short black hair and russet skin.
"Jacob what are you doing here?" I asked.
He turned around and smiled. "Hey Ness. I came to check up on you and Merlin over here."
I rolled my eyes. "So how's…..Kelly?" I couldn't help but grimace when I said her name.
He sighed. "It's over. Before we talked on the phone the pixie called me. She told me what Kelly did and I figured that if anyone was mean to you, I couldn't be nice to them. So I broke it off and took back the ring."
"Good, I really hate her."
"So do I. I can't remember why I thought I was in love with her. I will only be in love with you."
Casey raised an eyebrow. "I'm right here Jacob. Ness and I are engaged."
"Calm down. I can't help but be in love with her. She's my imprint. Just like she's your 'charm'." When he said charm he made goo-goo eyes and did jazz hands. I hit his arm.
"I know but it's still weird." mumbled Casey.
I sighed "Jake I love you. I always will. But your like a big brother."
He chuckled. "I know you only think of me as family. I just wish it was different."
"You're my best friend Jake."
"I know there's no chance. But your happy. I just need to keep looking for someone."
I giggled. "Are you trying to replace me?"
He smiled "Maybe."
I reached out and gave him a hug.
"I feel like there's something between us." He smirked.
I hit him on the arm "Jacob I saw Juno with you."
He laughed and pulled away.
I went over to Casey and he put his arm around me and kissed my head. "Thanks for being cool with all this Case."
He shrugged. "Hey he's in love with you. I know how it feels. It's pretty great."
"Hey, as long as I'm invited to the wedding I'm okay."
I bit my lip and looked at the floor.
"Ness...I know that look. What aren't you telling me."
"Nessie and I are thinking about eloping. But mostly so we don't inconvenience anyone with a wedding."
"But you can't tell. It's not final. We were just thinking about it."
"Okay I won't tell. But I'll just say that how would your parents feel? And the Pixie would kill you because you didn't let her plan it.
"Aunt Alice has probably already seen it so that's why she has been avoiding me."
My phone buzzed.
It was a text from Alice.
Correct.
Alice it's not even final.
Everyone would be crushed.
My phone buzzed again. This time it was dad.
Why is Alice seeing you eloping?!
Dad chill! Jacob's here. I g2g. Say hi to everyone.
I looked up they were just staring at me.
"Alice saw us eloping and Daddy read her mind. By now the whole family knows."
"Big white wedding it is." Said Casey with a shrug.
"I guess so." I said
Jacob laughed. "Too bad Alice can see you and me now. I guess she spent to much time with us."
"Yeah. But she's been able to see Casey from the beginning. I guess she's dealt with wizards before."
"Wizards have been around since the dawn of time." Said Casey.
"So exactly how old are you?" asked Jacob
"151 going on152."
"Freaky" Jacob muttered under his breath.
"I heard that dog." Said Casey smirking.
"Not you too. Everyone but mom calls him 'dog' at my house." I said.
"He calls me Merlin! He shouted.
"You sound like a five year old." Laughed Jacob.
I giggled. "Either you two boys stop fighting or I'll send you to your rooms with no TV for a month."
"Yes mom." They both said.
We all started laughing.
Then one of the babies kicked. It hurt. I bent over like I was punched in the stomach and winced.
Jacob and Casey stopped laughing and ran over to me. "Ness, are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine. I guess one of them is more vampire than I thought." I slowly stood up. I put my hand on Jacobs arm. "Jake, calm down. I'm fine see?" He started to relax.
I changed the subject. "Hey who wants to go to the mall? I need baby stuff."
"Sure. Why not." Said Jacob.
"Anywhere you go I go sweetheart." Said Casey.
I kissed his cheek.
"Oh gag me." Said Jacob.
I punched him in the arm. Hard.
"Oww Ness that really hurt."
I smiled. "I'm going to get dressed. I'll be back."
"I walked over to my closet to try to find something to wear."
