19. FLYING

"I can't believe Edward just put us on this plane without telling us where he's sending us!" Jacob anxiously looked out the window to his left as the plane taxied onto the runway.

"He wants it to be a surprise. Give him a break, he knows what he's doing, I'm sure."

He turned to me. "He even had Alice pack our clothes so we wouldn't be able to guess by what we were going to have to wear!" Jacob's hands tightened on his armrest as the plane took off.

I watched as nervousness overtook his facial features. A smile crossed my lips. "Big, bad Jake, is afraid of flying?"

"What?" His eyes narrowed. "What makes you think that?"

"The fact that you nearly ripped off the armrest on take off."

Slowly, Jacob's fingers released the armrest. "I did not. Can we talk about something else?"

I laughed. "What do you want to talk about?"

"You're family's… interesting…"

My family. My entire family showed up to the wedding thanks to Alice's invitations. My family is filled with a lot of colorful characters. It doesn't help that all of the women were captivated by the looks of Edward's family and Jacob's pack. Even some of the men were all over the wolf pack.

It would be a lie if I said my entire family was there, though.

"Yeah, 'interesting'. You mean crazy. I'm sorry you had to see them, I'm really sorry that some of my family members were hitting on your pack…"

Jacob looked me in the eyes. "Why wasn't your dad there?"

Jacob always gets to the point. He doesn't beat around the bush. He always takes me off guard, you think I'd be used to it by now. I looked away from him, I just stared ahead at my tray table in front of me. "It doesn't matter. Doesn't surprise me either. He never shows up for anything important to me."

"What do you mean?"

"My dad never shows up for anything important. Well no, that's not true. He was at my graduation." I loved my dad, but he always let me down when it came to events in my life.

Jacob huffed next to me. "I can't believe people like that. How can they have kids and then not care for them? What kind of father does that?"

"It's not his fault."

Jacob's warm hand slid under my chin, turning me to face him. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by that."

"I know." I smiled at him. "You just feel really strongly about fathers and their kids."

He nodded. "I do."

I couldn't help but laugh out loud. "You're not getting married anymore now Jacob, you don't need to say 'I do'."

Jacob rolled his eyes. "That's not what I meant, fool." He grabbed my hand in his and rubbed his thumb across my wedding and engagement rings.

I looked down at the rings and smiled inwardly. I was married to Jacob Black, and I couldn't be happier. My life really was taking off now. The next step for Jacob and I would be to move out of the Cullens' back yard, into a house of our own. It'd probably have to be in La Push though, with Jacob being the Alpha male.

Before I got too lost in my thoughts, I looked up at Jacob. He seemed really deep in thought. "What are you thinking about, Jake?"

He shook his head and looked at me. "What?"

"What were you thinking about?"

He stared into my eyes for a few seconds before smiling devilishly. "I was thinking of all the ways we're going to be having sex when we get to where ever it is we're going."

I sighed, shaking my head. "Of course."

"What?" He laughed. "You know you're dying to get there. You're dying to get your hands on this body, aren't you, Mr. Black?" He rubbed his hand up and down his chest.

"I've hand my hands on that body, Mr. Black. I can wait." I smiled.

That's us, Mr. and Mr. Black. I decided to take his name to truly show how Jacob and I are one in the same. It'd be an understatement to say he was thrilled when he found out that I wanted his name. 'Now you really belong to me' he said.

"Can I offer either of you're a drink?" A stewardess had stopped at our seats.

"Umm I'll just have a Coke, please."

"And for you, sir?" She looked at Jacob. She may have been the only woman not to completely swoon over him when she laid her eyes on him. I had no idea why she wouldn't, unless she was a lesbian. I smiled and decided to keep that idea to myself.

"I'll have a Jack and Coke, please." He smiled.

Jack? Jack Daniels? Jacob drinks? I waited until the stewardess moved on before turning to Jacob. "Since when do you drink?"

"I don't drink very often, only on planes. It was Edward's idea the last time I was on a plane. It completely calmed me down."

I stared at him. "So… You are afraid of flying?"

"Shut up!"
