I just love doing research for my stories. It's fun finding these cute little places.

Chapter 40

Emma's POV

It was almost my birthday and I was at school. I never really talked to anyone. My friends never talked to me anymore, they didn't want to be associated with the 'pregnant girl.' I was sick and tired of all of the rumors, about me and Jake, and about our baby. I would spend lunch in my car, by myself, usually on the phone with Jake, telling him about the latest rumors.

I got out of school, and saw someone leaning against my truck. I got closer, and saw it was Jake. I ran over to him. He pulled me into a big hug and kissed the top of my head.

"Jake, what are you doing here?" I asked and watched as people walked by, staring at us.

"I can to pick you up. We're going away for the week. Just you and me." He said.

"Jake, this is just what I need! Wait for the week?" I asked.

"Longer if you'd like. I already talked to Charlie. He said he trusts me, and since you already pregnant, there isn't really anything much more worse that I could do."

"Well, I need to go pack, and…"

"Already taken care of."

"What about your patrol duties?"

"Embry and Quil said they would cover for me. I'm sure Sam will understand, I mean, he has taken Emily off for weeks, without any warning."

"Well then, let's go!" I said.

I got into Jake's car, and he said that Quil was coming by to take my truck back to Charlie's. I saw that Jake had all of this food packed, and he had brought everything we could ever need, as if we would be gone for a year. Jake climbed into the driver's seat and turned on the car and we drove away.

"It's going to take us about 4 and a half hours to get there, so you can sleep if you would like." He said. So, with my hands nestled on top of my newly found stomach I fell asleep.

I was sitting on a porch-swing. I looked out off the porch, and saw the most beautiful view, a forest surrounded me, and there was a trail leading down to a creek. I tried to stand up, but something was in my way. I looked down to see that I was very, very pregnant. I used more force, and managed to stand up. Then I saw someone come from the forest. It was Jake, and Embry and Quil followed him.

"Emma, I thought I told you to stay there. Remember the doctor said not a lot of walking around." Jake said, running over to me.

"I'm sorry, it's just so beautiful. I want to see everything."

"Well, you will have plenty of time to explore after the baby is born, since this is our new house."

"Emma. Emma. Emma." Somebody said. Then I realized it was Jake, but no the Jake I was just talking to, the real one, this was all a dream.

I slowly opened my eyes, and saw Jake's face, right next to mine.

"Emma, we're here. Come see our cute little cabin. I rented it out for two and a half weeks, but we don't have to stay that long if you don't want, if you get sick of me. We could leave anytime, " I cut him off.

"Jake, I want to stay the whole time. I'd much rather be here then at school with all the people who look at me funny. It will be nice to spend some time, just the two of us, well three of us. And I promise, I won't get sick of you, if you promise you won't get sick of me, since you're stuck with me." I held up my ring finger, with the engagement ring on it.

"Come on, I'll show you around." He said.

He showed me the house. It was cute, with a nice kitchen; and two bedrooms, two queens in one, and one in the other; it had a nice deck, that overlooked the forest below; it had a cute dining area; a large living room; they had fire pit area; and a large hot tub.

"The hot tub sounds really good right now. My back is hurting." I said.

I went upstairs to change into my bathing suit, and searched through my suitcase. I couldn't find a bathing suit anywhere, but I did find an old photo album I had forgotten about. Inside were pictures of my mom when she was pregnant with me, and when I was a baby. The pictures of my mom were dated to show how big she was getting. I noticed that I was much bigger than my mom was at four months. Of course, I was shorter than her, which can affect the way you carry the baby. I called Jake up, and told him to bring the camera.

"What is it that you would like, babe?" he asked.

"I want you to take my picture, of my belly." I said.

"Ah, I see you found the album." He said.

I pulled up my shirt, to show my slowly growing baby-bump. Jake aimed the camera, but he stopped.

"Hold up a four." He said

"Why?"

"Four months."

"Oh I see." And he took the picture.

"Hey um, where did you pack my bathing suit?" I asked.

"I didn't." he said.

"What am I supposed to whe… Oh I get it."

"Nothing. Exactly."

"Pervert." I said heading downstairs to the hot tub.

"Jake, you have to turn it down! It can only be at 98 degrees, or else it could be bad for the baby!" I said.

"But it will be cold! Well at least for me it will. Plus this baby is half- werewolf, so it can't hurt it that much."

"Well, I'd rather listen to experts, and since no one has any advice about half werewolf babies, I'll stick to advice about regular babies." I said.

Since Jake was to mean to pack me a bathing suit, I stripped down and climbed in. soon Jake came out, and joined me. We sat for a while, just talking, but I soon got out, because I had been in there for a half hour, and I was starting to get hot.

"Hey Jake, how about you make me some dinner?" I said.

"Of course." And I sat in the kitchen as I watched him make our dinner. I thought about how great of a dad he was going to be, and all of a sudden, I felt the slightest kick. It wasn't really a kick, but more like something was moving, ever so slightly, inside of me. I gasped.

"What?" Jake said concerned. I started laughing.

"I think somebody likes it when I think about their daddy." I said, and rested my hand on my stomach. Jake came over and put his hand right next to mine, and the baby moved, just like before.
