"Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel."- Taylor Swift
Five years had passed since the terrible incident. We saved up as much money as we could and bought ourselves a new house in La Push. It was small to say the least, but it was enough for the two of us.
But we had a special someone on the way.
Kim, Jared's imprint, was sitting on the couch, watching something stupid on television. She was laughing loud with Jared sitting next to her.
She was carrying something special, though. In her stomach was a baby girl that had two months until she was born. At first you would think it was Jared's baby, but it wasn't.
That baby belonged to Jacob and I.
We tried to find a donor, but it was all too expensive. That was when Kim stepped in and said she would carry our baby. It was the most amazing feeling in the entire world. We were eternally grateful for her. Jared wasn't reluctant either. He wasn't ready for kids, but Kim giving us kids was the best thing she could possibly do.
"Kimmy, you're so loud," Jacob laughed as he plopped down next to her. He ran his hand over her stomach. "How's the baby?"
"She's hungry," Kim laughed. "You should go make her some food."
"What does she want?" Jacob chuckled. He was going to be such an amazing father.
"She wants some spaghetti and meatballs." Kim kissed his cheek. "She'll appreciate it."
Jacob smiled. "Okay, I'll be back."
He walked over to me, put his hands on my waist, and kissed my lips.
"I love you," he whispered against my neck as he hugged me.
I ran a hand through his hair. "I love you too baby. Go make me some yummy food."
"It's for the baby, not for you," he laughed.
I pouted. "Yeah, but don't I get some?"
He smiled. "I'm making enough for all of us."
"Okay. I love you."
He kissed me softly. "I love you too, baby."
A smile crept over my face as he walked away.
I turned around and walked to the couch with Jared and Kim. I sat down next to her and touched her stomach as well. The baby was old enough that you could feel her kicking.
"The doctor told me you should talk to the baby," Kim explained. "It calms her."
At first it seemed a little weird, but I started talking anyways. "She's gonna be such a pretty little girl."
"She will be," Kim laughed. "She's coming from me."
"Of course," I chuckled.
Jared kissed the top of her head. "You're beautiful."
"Thank you," she chuckled and kissed him.
"So what are you gonna name her?" Jared asked.
"Well, we have a couple names picked out," I explained. "But we wanted Kim's help."
"It's your baby," she said. "You guys choose the name."
"But we can't decide," I whined teasingly. "Please just help."
She let out a loud sigh. "Okay, what do you got?"
"Anna Marie or Sarah Elizabeth," I told her. "Which one do you like best?"
"Anna Marie," she replied. "My mom's name is Anna."
I smiled and kissed her forehead. "Then Anna it is. She's gonna be so beautiful."
"You keep saying that," Kim laughed.
"Well, no one is as beautiful as you, Kimmy, for doing this for us," I told her. "And Jacob and I could never be so thankful."
"I love you guys so much," she rested her head on my shoulder. "There's nothing I wouldn't do for you guys."
"We all love you," Jared added.
"Well, I'm gonna go check on my baby." I kissed the top of her head. "We'll call you when dinner's ready."
"Okay." She cuddled up to Jared's chest. "Bye."
"Bye," I laughed.
I walked into the kitchen and saw Jacob throwing some spaghetti into a pot. I smiled at him working in the kitchen. So what if I wanted Jacob to be at home while I worked? It was my dream for a long time to work for someone I loved, whether it be a man or a woman. Jacob would be the perfect one to stay at home with the kids, to cook and clean, while I made the money to support our family. This was perfect.
"Hi baby," I said as I grabbed his waist and kissed his neck. "How are you?"
"Good," he chuckled. "How about you?"
"Great." I nuzzled into his neck. "We chose a name."
"Without me?" he teased. "What did she choose?"
"Anna Marie," I whispered against his soft skin. "We get our baby Anna Marie."
He turned around and kissed me. "I can't believe we're getting a baby."
I ran my hand through his hair and kissed him as well. "I love you so much. I wonder how much she'll look like you."
He smiled. "Just because it's my sperm doesn't mean she'll look like me. She'll look the most like Kimmy."
"I can't wait to see that baby in your arms." I kissed him over and over again. "I just can't wait."
"You're going to be such a good father," he breathed as he brushed my cheek with his fingertips. "I can't believe this."
I smiled. "I know baby, me too."
"And we've got everything together," he whispered. "We have the crib, and clothes, and toys, and everything."
"I know baby." I kissed his forehead. "I love you so much."
"I love you too," he whispered. "So, so much."
"We will be great parents," I whispered back. "I promise."
Truth be told, I didn't know if we were going to be good parents. Neither of us knew what we were doing. Jacob didn't have a mother, and I didn't have a father, but I knew we were going to do something right.
After dinner, Kim and Jared left. Jacob and I crawled into bed and fell asleep.
But at five in the morning, my phone rang. I moaned as Jacob stirred, and then picked up my phone.
"She's in labor!" Jared yelled through the phone. "Get up now!"
I shot up. "Are you serious? We'll be right down!"
Jacob sat up slowly and rubbed his eyes. "What's going on?"
I smiled widely. "Kimmy's in labor!"
"OH MY GOD!" he screamed. "We have to get everyone up!"
"We'll wait," I laughed. "Just put a shirt on and we'll go."
We both got dressed as quickly as possible and ran outside to my car. It was snowing outside, but we didn't care. I sped to the hospital, no matter how dangerous.
We burst into the hospital, found Kim's room, and walked inside.
Kim was attached to five machines. She had an IV going through her arm.
I walked over to her, brushed the bangs away from her face, and kissed her forehead. "How long has she been in labor?"
"Four hours," Jared replied. "We didn't want to wake you up until she was at least seven centimeters dilated."
Jacob walked to the other side of her and held her hand. "Only a little while more."
"We love you so much Kimmy," I whispered to her. "Thank you so much."
"You're welcome." She tried to smile. "I love you guys too."
Another hour passed, and Kim was pushing. Fifteen minutes later, Anna Marie was born.
