Chapter 19: Pregnant
Renesmee's POV
We took Jessica to a more secluded location to talk to her. We didn't want to risk anyone overhearing us. She thought we were all crazy just like Sarah had thought that it was crazy. It wasn't until Leah phased that she finally believed us. Poor girl nearly had a stroke.
The next problem is explaining this to our families. How would they take the news. I was very excited that I was going to have a baby. How would Jacob feel? Would Jacob leave me when he found out?
"I can't wait until I start feeling my baby kick" Sarah said. "Yeah, me too" I agreed. "I already felt my baby move, but it's only when I phased" Leah said. "Really? I wonder why" Sarah said. "I don't know. It's strange though" Leah said.
Soon we were pulling into our driveway. Everyone else looked as nervous as I felt. Everyone was gathered in the living room as though they were waiting for us.
Now, now would be the perfect time to tell them about our babies. Edward must have read our minds because his whole demeanor changed extremely fast, his expression unreadable.
"Where were you girls?" my mom said. "Umm out" I said. "Out where?" she asked. "We needed to go see a doctor" Jessica said. "You could have just seen me" Carlisle said. "We're pregnant!" we all shouted at the same time. Everyone went silent then. "Pregnant. Well that explains a lot" mom said. She was taking this much easier then I thought she would. "How could you guys be so stupid and irresponsible?!" My human family started shouting meanwhile all vampires and wolves remained silent. "I thought we taught you guys morals and values. How could you do something so stupid?!" they were all shouting. All of the wolves looked upset, like they wanted to defend their imprints. They were shaking a lot.
My father stormed towards me with nothing but anger written across his face. "I cannot believe you two. I thought we taught you better then that. Then you go and embarrass everyone this way" he seethed. Then he raised his hand as if he were going to hit me, I cowered in fear. Then another hand stopped him. It was Edward. "Don't you dare touch her" he said in a threatening voice. "She is my daughter. I will discipline my daughters as I see fit" he said. "Renesmee is my daughter too and I will not let you hit her, especially when she is pregnant" Edward said. My dad started laughing. "You're daughter? Really? That's what you come up with" he said. He made another towards us and that's when Jacob and Seth phased, and were quickly followed by Leah. My family stumbled back in fear. "Okay, we'll hear your story" mom said.
While everyone was talking I left. I really needed to be alone to clear my head. I just couldn't believe that my dad would react so strongly.
I heard someone behind me and I looked up only to see Jacob. " Nessie, are you okay?" he asked. "No, not really. I can't believe he was going to hit us" I said. "He regrets it. At least that's what Edward says" Jacob said. "How do you feel about a baby?" I asked. A huge smile spread across his face. "I couldn't be happier Ness" he said as he picked me up and twirled me. "I was afraid you wouldn't want me anymore" I said. "Ness, how can you even think that? You're carrying my baby. That makes me love you even more" he said.
Things were pretty smooth sailing after that. We continued to grow bigger every week. By the sixth week we were feeling our babies move around a lot. We all appeared to be six months along. None of us wanted to know the genders of our babies. We all wanted to be surprised.
By the ninth week we all looked like were going to go into labor at any minute. Our pregnancies were not at all dangerous like Bella's was. Not even Jessica who was carrying the offspring of a hybrid, we think it's because this baby has more human then vampire. Carlisle was very worried about the delivery of all our babies though. He wasn't so sure our bodies could give birth without any complications so he wanted to be present during the birth.
I decided to go out for a walk when someone came up behind me and grabbed me. "Hello Renesmee. Joham will be pleased to see you" he said. I tried to scream but he covered my mouth and grabbed me with ease. He ran at full speed to a building in the middle of the forest. "There's no way your family will find you here" he said as he entered the building. "Joham, I have her" he said. A man appeared out of the shadows "We meet again young one. You may have escaped me one, but I can assure you that will not happen again" he said menacingly as he stroked my face. I tried to squirm away but it did not work. He looked at my stomach "Pregnant? No doubt that wolf is the father. I've been watching you for some time now Renesmee. I was very surprised to hear you survived. Look, now I have two more specimens for my experiments. I shall be delighted to experiment with a vampire, human, shapeshifter creature" he said. I tried to lunge at him. How dare he talk about my baby like he or she is not even a person!
"Throw her in the cellar" he ordered. Which they did; literally. I threw my arms out in front if me to protect my baby. "I didn't mean literally you idiots! I need that specimen she's carrying alive" he said.
They all left after that to go hunting. Joham said that they wouldn't be back for a few hours and not to try anything 'funny'.
An hour after he left I started to feel weird. I felt something squirt down my leg. When I looked down I saw water. Which could mean only one thing. My water broke. My baby was going to come and Carlisle wasn't here to make sure that everything went okay. Soon the contractions started. I started pushing. I pushed harder than I ever had in my whole life. I'm not sure how long it took, but after what seemed like an eternity I heard my baby's first cry. I picked up my baby. It was a little boy. My little EJ or Edward Jacob. That's the name I decided on if my baby turned out to be a boy. I was so happy that Jacob had agreed to it.
I had to detach the umbilical cord myself. Unfortunately I didn't have any baby clothes or diapers with me. There were some rags on the floor which I somehow fastened into a diaper.
He was a beautiful boy. He had bronze hair and green eyes, but his skin was darker like Jacob's skin.
He started crying again. I tried rocking him to soothe him. It didn't work. Then he stopped as he sniffed something; my breast. He looked at me and then he did something incredible. He started to pat my breast as he looked at me with pleading eyes. What was he doing? Then I heard his little tummy growling. That's when I realized what he wanted and I wanted to slap myself for not figuring it out sooner. I took off my shirt and bra and he quickly latched on. I continued to stroke him as he fed. After a long time he finally stopped and I put the bra and shirt back on.
A foreign thought suddenly entered my head. Thank you mommy! Where did that come from? I looked down to see little EJ smiling. "Was that you?" I asked. Yes, I can send you mind messages. I just needed to eat before I could do it.
I held my son close to me and I kissed him. "I love you EJ" I said. I love you to mommy!
He fell asleep soon afterwards. Sometime later Joham and his men had come back. "That thing is mine!" he said. I held onto him tighter. "You stay away from him!" I shouted. He came in and grabbed my baby by the neck and snatched him away from me. EJ let out a heart wrenching cry. He continued to cry. Mommy! Mommy! He was crying out in his mind over and over again. I lunged towards Joham but two of his guys held me back. "Give him back?! He's just a baby! He needs me!" I was crying uncontrollably. Joham just rolled his eyes and left still holding my baby by the neck.
"Give him back!" I continued to shout. I could hear EJ crying. He would sounded like he was in my pain a few times. I kept banging and trying to get out. I wanted nothing more than to get to my baby and rescue him.
I heard someone else storm into the building. "Where is she?!" Edward screamed. "I'm over here!" I yelled as loud as I could. He was over here in less then a second. He opened the cell and he embraced me. "We have to get out of here" he said. "I can't leave, he has my baby" I said desperately. "You?.." "Yes I gave birth. He took him" I said crying again. "Get out now. I'll get him" he said. I went outside to see all the Cullen's and Jacob waiting for me. "Oh thank god Nessie" Bella said as she hugged me. "I was so scared that I had lost you" Jacob said. "Don't ever scare me like that again" he added. Edward came back a few minutes later with a crying EJ in his arms. I ran to him and immediately took him into my arms. "Thank god" I said in tears and I plastered his little face with kisses. "Thank you dad" I said to Edward before I hugged him. He was speechless for a minute. Shocked that I called him dad.
"This is our son?" Jacob asked. "Yup, this is our EJ" I said. He looked even more happy. Like a proud father. "Let's get you two home now. I need to make sure that you and EJ are okay" Carlisle said. "Okay" I said.
Thank goodness we were both okay. EJ just had a mark where Joham had grabbed him.
"This means war! No one hurts any member of this family and gets away with it"'Edward said in anger. Everyone else nodded in agreement.
