Chapter Nineteen

*Jacob's POV*

It's been about two weeks since Ness's graduation and it's been wild. There have been a ton of parties besides the one at Bryan's house. It seems that Ness is out every night. I'll see her for a bit in the morning and then when she crawls into bed at night. I didn't care though. We'd have forever and she only had a few weeks left with her friends. She needed to hang out with them as much as she could.

I knew this whole thing was killing her on the inside. Ness didn't want to break any ties. This was her first real time in high school, so of course she wanted to make a bunch of friends. She made really good ones, problem is they won't be able to stay with her forever. It won't be long until she has to give that all up and start over. At least she gets to experience the whole thing in order; high school and then college. After that, who knows what the two of us will do. Hopefully by then the Volturi won't be down our throats. God knows what they're doing. To be honest I know something's brewing, but what...I don't know.

I was currently working on my bike in the garage. Ness was having a girls day with Grace, Tori, Lisa, Lily, Jen, and Carly. They were out shopping in SoHo.

I sighed, wiping the grease from my forehead. It was hot as hell today in the city but luckily Esme set up a nice fan in here so I wasn't roasting alive. Bless that woman. I liked this garage. It was definitely nicer than my work space back at Forks, but not the same. At Forks it would be cool no matter what because it was Forks. It got hot, but it was always raining. There would be something to cool you off in a jiffy. Then again, my garage back in Washington was my home. I miss it.

"Hey, Jake." I look up to see Bella make her way into the garage.

"Hey, Bells," I replied, giving her a smile. "What's up?"

"Nothing much," She said, shrugging as she leaned against the work table. I watched her eyes linger to the bike and I saw a smirk appear on her face, "Remember when we fixed up those bikes?"

"Oh yeah." I chuckled, reminiscing on the old days. "We had some fun, didn't we?"

"We did," Bella agreed, her smile faltering. "Jake, look you're always going to be my best friend and I care about you a ton...But we need to talk about something."

"Okay," I said slowly, wiping my dirty hands on a nearby towel. "About what?"

"Renesmee...Does she know about...About well...Your thing for me?" Bella asked me quietly.

I froze. Oh shit. I completely forget about that. It wasn't even something I've dwelt on for a long time.

I bit my lip and slowly leaned against the wall. "I never told her...In fact, I never planned on telling her. I guess I forgot..."

"How did you forget?" Bella questioned.

I shrugged, "Well Bells, you and I both belong to two different people...You're head over heels in love with Edward and well, ever since I imprinted on Ness she's the only person I've thought about. Bella, she's the only person I ever want to be with...No offense, but what I felt for you back then is a million times stronger with Renesmee. I love you, Bells, but I love Renesmee more than my existence. She's my whole world."

Bella nodded, placing her hands on my arms, "I know, Jake. I know...But you need to tell her."

"Why!?" I questioned incredulously. "It's in the past. I don't even feel that way for you anymore! In fact, it's irrelevant information at this point!"

Bella sighed, "It is. But she deserves to know the truth. I don't want my daughter to hate me or you."

"She's not going to hate us, Bells," I pointed out.

"I know, but don't you remember when she found out about how everyone felt about her before she was born?" Bella pointed out, biting her lip in worry. "She was so angry at us. We almost lost her to Lorenzo that day."

"Lorenzo's not here. Yes, she'll get mad at us but I don't think she'll completely hate you. I can't see Ness doing such a thing," I insisted, shrugging. "I can see her getting more mad at us for not telling her..."

"My point," Bella remarked, raising her eyebrows. "You see, someone needs to tell her. I don't want this coming out twenty years from now or something. It's better if we do it now."

"Yeah..." I trailed off, rubbing my temples. "God, why did I have to think I was in love with you!?"

Bella smirked, "Because it wasn't me you were in love with. It was my daughter the whole time."

"True." I chuckled. "What am I supposed to tell her though? Hey Ness, I loved your mom but it was really because you weren't born yet. So in technicality, I was just trying to get to your mom for her ovary."

"No," Bella said, rolling her eyes. "Not like that, obviously. Just tell her the truth..."

"Wait, why am I the one telling her?" I cried out, raising my eyebrows.

"We'll both tell her," Bella corrected herself, glaring at me. "I thought she rather hear this news from you, but if you insist."

"I insist."

"Alright. You and I just have to find a time to tell her. Soon though. I want her to enjoy this time first," Bella told me softly, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Agreed," I said, nodding at my best friend. "So...Are you heading out with Edward?"

"In a bit. He's got to take care of some things with Carlisle," Bella explained, shrugging. "I thought besides talking to you about the thing we just discussed, I also hoped maybe we could hang out. Just like old times."

"Alright." I smiled, tossing her a wrench. "So...What are you going to do about this Renee thing?"

"Oh right, that," Bella muttered. She just found out it's possible she could see her mother again. "It might be easier if I just fake my death."

I raised my eyebrows, "I thought you were really excited to finally see her again. Bells, it's been almost eight years since you last saw her."

"I know." Bella groaned, taking a seat on a nearby bench. "I still email her and deep down inside I know I've hurt her. She's gotten more distant. She probably thinks that I do hate her."

"Then tell her the truth. Forget Elaine's mumbo witch jumbo," I said, shrugging.

"But my mother would never understand!" Bella cried out, rubbing her temples. "I talked this over with Charlie already. It's best if Renee never finds out. She can't handle this! She could barely handle taking care of herself at times. I love my mother dearly, don't get me wrong. And I miss her...A ton. But how am I supposed to explain the past eight years? Yeah mom I'm a vampire and I have three supernatural children with my one hundred and eight year old husband!"

I shrugged, "Maybe you don't give Renee enough credit."

"Maybe," Bella mumbled, sighing. "Come on. I don't want to think about this anymore. Let's fix something or what not."

"Alright." I chuckled, giving Bella a sympathetic smile before turning our attention to the bike.

I hung out with Bella for a good hour before her and Edward left for a date. The whole time though we just hung out. It was nice to reconnect with Bella once and a while. Like I said, I'm not in love with her anymore but she was still my best friend. My family. I wanted to hang out with her when I could. She still meant a lot to me. Always would.

As I began to clean up my work space, Masen came running into the garage. He had a nervous look on his face as he rushed in. I raised my eyebrows at him, "Can I help you?"

"We need to talk. Now. All the boys in this family. Now," Masen told me fiercely.

"Why?" I questioned slowly, approaching him. "Is everything okay?"

"Nope," He told me. I then watched as he pulled out something he was hiding. The moment I saw it, I felt my eyes budge from my sockets.

"Oh shit," I cursed.

"Oh yeah," Masen replied, jerking his head towards the other room. "My house. You, me, Ethan, and Aidan."

"No problem," I squeaked as I then followed him into the other room.

This was not good. This was not good at all.

*Masen's POV*

To say I was bored today would be an understatement. Grace was having a girls day and so was Lily, so that meant the girlfriend and the best friend were out. There was Ethan, but he seemed pretty busy right now trying to figure stuff out about the Lux Lamia twins for my grandfather. He said he would be done in an hour, so maybe I'd harass him after that. Maybe go play football or something at the park.

I sighed, placing the book to the side. I was currently in my grandparents library. I look to see Aidan sitting on the couch across from me, heavily into his phone.

"Who have you been texting exactly for the past hour?" I questioned, raising my eyebrows.

Aidan smirked, sending a message before looking up at me. "Jen. She's being dirty," He explained.

"Nice." I chuckled, shaking my head at him. Aidan and Jen have been going strong the past two weeks. It was nice for Aidan to have someone too now. "Where's Seth?" I asked, looking around.

"Oh he's helping Lizzy with something out back. I have no clue to be honest," Aidan replied, shrugging as he began to type on his phone again. "Hey, can you do me a favor?"

"Sure," I answered. "What?"

"Jen says she's not sure if she left her watch in the bathroom when she was getting ready. Can you go see if it's in there?" Aidan asked me, still engrossed in his phone.

"Dude, why can't you get it," I pointed out, raising my eyebrows. "It's like ten feet away."

"Because, I'm texting Jen," Aidan replied simply.

I frowned, sighing as I got up from where I was. I didn't care though. Like I said, not much to do today. All of the graduation parties were finished. We hosted one last weekend. That was fairly wild. It was your classic Cullen party so Aunt Alice went all out. Pretty much the entire grade showed up to party. It wasn't as crazy as Bryan's party, but it was crazy enough. My parents were around so they made sure there was absolutely no alcohol, a bit of a bummer, but it was nice of the family to even throw something. We probably wouldn't do something like this for a long time.

All of the parties though have been different and fun, but unfortunately all this fun was coming to a closing soon. Grace and I are supposed to move to Boston at the end of August. The day right after Lily and Aidan's birthday. Renesmee's leaving around the same time too.

I couldn't wait to move to Boston. I've never been so new city, new adventures, new things to explore- all with Grace. I couldn't wait. I loved that girl so much and to just have a life with her made me excited.

I approached the bathroom to see Jen's watch right away. Carlisle and Esme got it for her birthday this year. I have to say, they really love Jen like their own child. I'm glad because after everything she's been through, she deserves to be loved like that.

As I was admiring the watch still, I didn't realize my foot hit the waste basket. I groaned automatically as a bunch of waste fell onto the floor.

"Gross," I muttered, kneeling down to clean the mess up. All the tissues, sanitary pads, and god knows what on the floor.

As I picked up a clump of toilet paper, something unraveled from it. I look on the ground to see a stick fall the ground. When I saw what it was, I'm pretty sure my heart stopped.

"Oh crap," I breathed, picking it up. I then ran outside to where Aidan was still texting away.

"Aidan!" I yelled out frantically, holding it high up in the air.

"Yeah, what-" He stopped mid way when he saw me running into the room with the thing in my hand. "Holy shit! Where the hell did you get that!?"

"In the waste basket," I explained, starring at it wide eyed.

In my hands was a pregnancy test. A big fat positive sign was burning it's way into my eyes.

"Dude, someone peed on that," Aidan pointed out, wide eyed as well.

"No shit," I hissed, rolling my eyes. "But who's is it!?"

"Could it be someone from the party?" Aidan questioned curiously.

"Maybe, but dude what if it's one of our girls. May I remind you, my sister, my girlfriend, Lily, Jen- they all get their periods. They are fertile. They're all candidates as to who this belongs to!" I remarked.

"Alright, let's just get the guys. Try to figure this out," Aidan said, walking backwards. "I got Ethan! Maybe Seth too!"

"Alright. I'll get Jake," I replied, holding the pee stick.

"What's going on?" Ethan asked, rushing into the room. "Aidan just yelled at me emergency and then ran away."

"Aidan," I shot a glare at my cousin who shrugged.

"My bad!"

"Why are we here?" Ethan asked once again.

I sighed. I then held up the pregnancy test which was now in a plastic bag. Thankfully Lizzy was occupied outside and my parents were out for the night. My house was the safest right now.

"Oh God," Ethan breathed, running a shaky hand through his hair. "Is that...Is that positive?"

"Yep," I answered.

"Do you know who it belongs to?" Ethan asked, biting his lip. I could see him getting nervous.

"No," I explained to him, holding it even higher.

"Well, it's not mine. Unfortunately, I am still not exactly active yet," Seth muttered, stepping away from us.

"The same goes for me. Jen and I just got together, we've done stuff but like we haven't exactly got to the fracking stage yet," Aidan said, putting his hands up. He then turned to Ethan and narrowed his eyes, "Did you get my sister pregnant!?"

Ethan looked at him wide eyed and held his hands up in the air, "Hey! Dude! It's not me! I haven't had sex with your sister since she was assaulted!"

"Okay...That means you're out of the loop," Aidan mumbled. He then looked at Jake and I, "What about you two?!"

"It can't be me!" I protested. "Grace and I always use protection!"

"Protection breaks. Condoms are not one hundred precent accurate," Seth pointed out.

"Same goes for me, but shit. I don't know man," Jacob whispered, pacing around. "Aw man, Edward and Bella are going to kill me."

"You? What if this is Lily? There's still a chance, what if she's been a month pregnant and hasn't known until now," Ethan said, now thinking about it. "Oh crap, I'm going to get castrated! I can see it now. Rosalie and Emmett are going to destroy me into tiny little pieces-"

"Oh yeah you are," Aidan hissed, narrowing his eyes. "I'll also be going in on your mutilation."

"Before we tear someone into pieces, what if it isn't any of yours," Seth mentioned. "What if it belongs to like Lisa or Tori. Maybe someone from the party."

"True, but this was in the library bathroom. Not many people from the party where hanging out there," I pointed out.

"Can you see who's scent is on the stick?" Jacob asked curiously, anxiously fiddling with his hands.

"I'm not sniffing it! There's still pee on there!" Aidan cried out.

"The same goes for us," Ethan said, jerking a thumb at me.

"Why not you two?" I asked, looking at Jake and Seth. "You two are dogs. You can sniff it out."

"Ha, no," Jacob answered.

"We're not unsanitary," Seth retorted bitterly. "We may be dogs, but we have our limits too."

"Then who the hell does this stick belong to!?" Aidan cried out. Just as he did that, Grace, Renesmee, Lily, and Jen walked into the room.

They looked at us wide eyed and then at the stick in my hand. I froze as we waited for one of them to respond.

"Why are you idiots playing with a pregnancy test?" Lily remarked, raising her eyebrows. "We leave you alone for like a few hours and you've regressed to playing with trash? Where did you even get one?"

"In our trash," Jacob spoke up, looking at Ness. My sister's eyes widened the moment they locked eye contact.

"Now, I assume one of you know who it belongs to so please, speak now or forever hold your peace," Aidan announced, looking at the girls. They all shared looks with one another. "Come on! I'm not getting any younger here, ladies!"

"Aidan, come on. Maybe they don't know," Jacob said, patting the teenage boy on the back.

"No...No. I know who it is because it belongs to me," An all to familiar voice spoke up. "It's mine."

I felt myself freeze. My entire body froze and my heart stopped. I looked over to see who it was, tears welding up in their eyes.

"Grace," I whispered.

My girlfriend was pregnant. I was going to be a father.


A/N: well...WHOMP there it is. I think some of you knew but eh. What the hell, Grace and Masen are having a baby. Things are about to get heated, let me tell you. In the meantime, thanks for reading, hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving if you celebrate, and that's all. Thanks!
