Surviving Seventeen
The sequel to Sweet Sixteen. Please read that first otherwise you will be confused. I was surprised by the reviews I got for Sweet Sixteen so I just had to carry on with it XD
All characters are not created by me but the amazing Stephenie Meyer. I only made the story line :)
Chapter Twenty-Nine – Honeymoon
Renesmee's POV
"Bacon and eggs?" I leaned through the threshold smiling at the gigantic monster that was sprawled over the fluffy white bed.
Well, my monster.
The late morning sunshine streamed through the windows or the Caribbean sunshine and the seas waves lapped gently at the shore.
"Woof" was my only reply.
I rolled my eyes twice before walking through the house back to the kitchen. The house that I had never been to before was familiar, for example it was decorated impeccably. Nothing short of Esme's handy work and number two it was filled with expensive lavish goods and possibly ever DVD ever made. Slowly I ran my hand over the marble worktop realising the soft granite, how the texture reminded me so much of Jake's skin.
I smiled.
I couldn't help but smile.
I had a real honeymoon. Away from for the prying eyes and ears of my family, about two thousand miles away in fact of a deserted island.
The beautiful Isle Esme.
After arriving late evening yesterday we only had one thing on the agenda and it didn't involve seeing anything outside the bedroom seeing as though we'd been married forty-eight hours before we had some proper alone time.
Alone time I often craved and thought about, but obviously not around Jasper.
It wasn't long before eggs and bacon were frying away in the pan and I was mentally counting the second before I heard the bed lurch and Jake rushing down to eat.
Just as I anticipated the bed lurched after twenty-three seconds and he was down in seven.
"Pretty impressive wolf boy." I laughed as he pressed his warm lips to my collarbone and I flipped the eggs over.
"What was that like five seconds?" he asked sitting on one of the stools adjacent to me so he could watch the food.
"Uh, sorry but it was seven point three two. Better luck next time." I patted his cheek as his lips fell into a pout and started to serve the food. The whole batch of eggs I had cooked and packet of bacon was demolished quickly but I had got used to this by now so as I took my time to chew each bite Jake was licking his plate clean.
"Better than Edward's." He announced finally setting the plate free. I nodded as I had my mouth full.
"I'm sure he be pleased to hear that." He pressed and I nodded again.
"Speak to my Ness."
I swallowed too hard and it hurt as it slid down my throat, I instantly drowned my glass of juice before speaking.
"Jacob, we don't all eat like animals, and yes Father would be delighted with that piece of information." I pushed my plate towards him having lost my appetite, my stomach felt rather queasy.
"Aren't you going to finish?" he asked pointing to the plate, I held my hand up in protest and shook my head.
"Nessie you need to eat."
"I don't have as big a stomach as you have. I actually feel kind of sick." I rubbed my stomach as the queasy feeling grew more pronounced and Jake put a hand to my head instantly which I batted away.
"Nessie you feel a little warm."
"It's the heat Jake."
"Nessie..."
"Jake I'm fine just feel a little sick. After breakfast has sunk in we'll go for a swim. That'll cool me down." Jake didn't finish my food like he usually did, instead he insisted that I sat down while he tidied the kitchen. Every so often he glanced worried looks at me which were seriously starting to piss me off.
He even turned the air conditioner up.
I stood up from the chair in annoyance and my head swirled causing me to tip slightly. Luckily Jake had his back to me, it was only a head rush I dread to think what he'd do.
Drag me back to Carlisle?
He most probably would.
I took a seat on the large sofa and curled up closing my eyes as my throat started to tickle. I'd never coughed so much in my entire life, maybe I was picking it up as a bad habit?
It was strange, my head felt dizzy again and my eyes started to droop as if I was being dragged into unconsciousness but I wasn't tired.
Panic set in and my eyes shot open.
What the heck was going on. I tapped the sides of my face lightly to make sure I was awake which was when Jake's face was level with mine.
"What's wrong?" his eyes burned into mine and I didn't want to lie to him. Since when did marriage get hard this early on?
"Nothing, just started to drop off." I lied stretching and yawning. He didn't look convinced.
Jake's POV
I could hear her heart rate slowing as I took the trash out which instantly sent alarm bells ringing. As I stomped back into the room she sat bolt upright looking shocked, slowly tapping the sides of her face. Something was wrong, the not having an appetite, annoying cough and dizzy spells weren't natural.
She though I hadn't noticed by the breakfast bar but who could miss Nessie leaning forty-three degrees forward and then jerking back up?
The 'swoosh' of the air would have given her away anyway.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing, just started to drop out." She stretched unconvincingly and added a fake laugh which instantly had me narrowing my eyes.
"Let me just call Carlisle."
"Jake you promised."
Ah, the promise. At the time it seamed like the best idea.
Secluded.
Cut off from the outside world
Perfect bliss, but I knew something was wrong.
"Please..." I begged closing my eyes. I clasped her hands in mine and she sighed. When I opened my eyes, her eyes started to droop again.
"Nessie!" I shook her slightly and she jolted upright again.
"Did I do it again?" she asked puzzled and I already had the phone dialling the number.
"What again?" she didn't have time to answer as Carlisle had picked up.
"Jacob? I wanted to call as I have some sad news but after the promise....is something wrong?"
"Possibly Doc." I got up and moved to face the window. "I think Nessie is ill."
There was hushed whispering followed by a panicked yelp which sent my heartbeat flying.
"Nahual has passed away."
"But he's a half vamp, like my Nessie."
"We don't know what happened but have managed to dictate some of the signs. What are her symptoms?"
"Signs? You really think Nessie is ill?"
"Don't you? Symptoms please Jacob."
Why hadn't I seen this coming? She was my imprint it was my job to protect her and I wasn't.
Failure.
"Dizzy spells and she keeps trying to sleep, and that er silly little cough."
"Don't let her fall into unconsciousness Jacob. We'll be there are soon as we can to get you."
I spun around to face Nessie who was collapsed out of the arm, her little chest heaving.
"Ok hurry, I need to wake her up but I don't know how long it'll last."
The End.
A/N: Ha-ha, this is the end for now. I'll continue this in another sequel just not right away. School has taken priory as you may have guessed by the lack of updates. Hope you enjoyed it. Aimee xx
