Happy 2015! I know I'm completely late but better late than never right?

This chapter is just a cute, funny, filler. You kind of see how much Kaleb gets a long with the twins too so maybe it is worth something. No updates really only that this is a short chapter and I'm almost done writing the story. I think that's about it...

Enjoy and Review:

Peaches318: I know. It's about time they meet, huh? Now you can see how much Kaleb and Sage get along. Poor Grace when they get a little bit older... That's all I'm going to say :)

Chapter 11

Jacob's point of view:

"Will you get off my ass?!"

"I have a right reason!"

"Well…this is useless."

I couldn't agree more. Why did I let him work for me?!

Classes were cancelled today so I decided it would be smart to spend my time at the garage when I really wanted to spend time with my wife. Sometimes working sucks. Especially when you're the owner and the boss. It gets boring.

My wife…Renesmee Cullen Black was my wife. I still had to double check her hand just to make sure I wasn't dreaming that I was watching her walk down to me. I know it was stupid to feel this way, but if you waited as long as I have to marry the woman you've been wanting to marry for years you would be excited too.

"I'm going to do some paperwork." I muttered, walking away and to my office just to get away from him. Nessie and I were still newlyweds. Can't we kick him out?

I plopped down at my desk and growled. I don't hate Kaleb. I trust him now. It's just…that's my little girl! I use to be the only man in her heart! I shouldn't be feeling this way when she's only six but still. It drives me crazy to know I'm not just number one anymore. I had to share that spot. Sage was jealous. I was jealous. I hate sharing.

I'm worse than my kids.

I ran my hands over my face, wishing I could just disappear for a few hours. Things were heating up over here. Vampires were coming around my home now. Carlisle said Stefan and Vladimir didn't take a rejection to well. Alice said she can see them this summer. That was all she said she could see.

I heard a knock on the door. "Yes?" I called, knowing who it was.

"It's your wife."

"It's not locked."

Nessie came in, smiling at me. My first instinct was to think she was up to something by the way she dressed. (Not that I'm complaining.) Then again, Grace is her daughter. The possibilities are endless.

"I brought lunch. You looked busy." Nessie said, motioning outside and at my unusually messy (okay, it was always messy) desk. "Do I need to come by later?"

I smelt food. So, no, she better stay.

She sat the said food down on my disaster of a desk and sat in my lap. "Me and you need to talk."

Uh oh. What did I do? "Spill."

"I think we need to tell the twins about what imprinting really is. They turn seven soon and I don't want them thinking the worst of things when they get older like I did." Nessie said. Wow. She's really getting down to business.

"Don't remind me. But can't we wait until they actually turn seven?"

"That's why I'm here. So we can decide when it is the perfect time to tell them."

"Oh? So it's not to see your wonderful husband?"

She smiled and touched her lips to mine. "Whatever makes you sleep at night, babe." She laughed at my look. "Yes. I was bored and wanted to see what you were up too; but Kaleb is going back home in a few weeks. I have a feeling you'll be going too to check up on things."

"We're-as in me, you, my daughter, and my son-are going."

"Fine. You could have just said your family though."

"Takes away the emphasis."

"Okay…" she huffed, rolling her eyes. "Back to the subject at hand. I think we need to wait until their birthday. They're still too young. Maybe we could work up the nerve that our babies are growing up between now and then."

No kidding. I could tell Nessie was worried about this just by the way she bit the inside of her cheek and twisted her wedding band. I was too. Our experience wasn't the best, but I also didn't really think through when I blurted it at her. Never tell your imprint that you actually imprinted on her on your first date with her. Biggest mistake you'll make. Or if you're me you'll have several.

I sighed, having a completely different feeling than her. I think our twins were smart. Smarter than we give them credit for. They know stuff we don't even know. They know stuff we don't want them to know.

"I think they understand a lot more than we give them credit for." I said, repeating the thought I had earlier.

"I know but…never mind. The faster the better."

Can't the woman make up her mind?

"How about we take it day by day? We agreed to that when they were born." I soothed my wife. I had too. I loved calling her that.

"We need to do it sometime. I don't want to make the same mistake my parents did. But yet I was a drama queen back then." said Nessie.

"Back then? You still are."

She slapped me. "Let's eat so you can get back to work and make me some money."

I think she heard my growling stomach but I decided to play along with the comment. "That's all you married me for is my money. So what if I'm almost as rich as your family. You work me like a slave!" I whined.

"Oh boohoo."

Nessie got out of my lap and threw me a container of leftovers (steak) and hopped on my desk, eating herself. I noticed something was distant about her. She nibbled on her food but looked off, her eyes glazy. I knew she needed to hunt soon by the look on her face but this was something else.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing." She lied.

"I hear it's bad on a marriage if you lie to a husband that call feel your every emotion." Yeah, it's not as fun as I thought it would be. "So spit it out."

Renesmee hesitated. "I want to see J. Jenks. Or at least have my mother talk to him."

"The fake I.D. guy?"

"That's the one. We need to get ones for Sage, Grace, and Kaleb."

I knew why Kaleb would need one. I hated the thought. I knew I could trust him with their safety. That means it would be up to the twins to help. I wanted Nessie and them far away from the fight. I would worry if she was with me but yet I would also worry if she was away from me. Same goes with the twins. Is there ever a winner in this game?

"I figured if Momma got them then Aro wouldn't know anything about it."

"We need one for you." I stated.

"And you."

I looked at her. "You expect me to leave my brothers to die?"

"It sounds like you're picking your brothers instead of your wife and children."

It sounded like I was. "It sounds like you're putting your leech family over your husband and children!"

Renesmee sat back and scoffed. "There goes the next thing I wanted to talk about." she muttered.

I swallowed a shiver. "What is it?"

She looked at me and crawled back on my lap in one, sleek, graceful, sexy move. The next thing I know she was kissing me hard. Being the good husband I was I didn't push away. I did the complete opposite, moving to kiss her neck until I felt something pierce mine.

Trauma surged through me and I pushed her away, breathing heavy as memories of fire, pain, and dying flashed through my mine. But it was just Nessie. Not some venomous vampire trying to kill me. All she did was bite me…again.

Renesmee wiped the blood away from her mouth and just stared at me with shock. She already worries enough on how much the wolf venom has messed me up, I didn't want to worry her more about me. So all I did was swallow the pain and fear, wipe the blood from my hands, and act like it was nothing.

"Was that a hint?" I asked, forcing a laugh.

"I bit you, Jake. With all that you've been though-"

"So what. I'm fine. It's no big deal. It wasn't the first time and I'm sure it won't be the last. It hurts but it's not like you're venomous." I need to shut up.

I wiped underneath her eyes, trying to hide the shake of my hands, and kissed her-just on the forehead this time. I knew it was stupid but I couldn't shake that terrified feeling. I knew the venom would leave long suffering damage (I didn't get lucky like Kaleb) but not like this. Not when my body is shutting down again. I can't lose the ability to phase. Not now. Not ever.

"What I was going to tell you was stupid anyway. I'm sorry. I'll take care of the bite and go."

She acts like I have rabies. Not that she tore a big chunk of skin. "Tell me."

Nessie got a rag and wet it. This time I didn't try to hide my wince as she tried to clean it. "If I can handle labor with twins I'm sure you can handle me cleaning a little bite I made."

Yeah, but I also have a chunk of skin missing. "You also tried to kill me there too."

"Do you have a first aid kit?"

"Outside."

"I'll be right back."

She flew out of my office before I could say anything. So I sat back, still holding the towel to my neck. I didn't see why I needed a first aid kit but I also had humans working for me. You never know with mechanics. But the one thing I wished was normal (not counting my sanity) was my accelerated healing. It was still faster than a normal person's way but it wasn't my normal. This may take a few hours to heal. A few hours I don't have.

"Back!" Renesmee announced, carrying her said object she was looking for.

She came over and put disinfectant on it. I think she honestly thinks she has rabies. And yet like the baby I was, I hissed at the pain of the stuff being poured over my wound. The only relief was a bandage.

"Great. Now I'll have to wear my color high"

"At least you have a shirt on."

"Would you prefer me without one?"

I saw her blush and look down as she put away the stuff. I really wanted to know what she was so distant about. Why all of a sudden she wanted to have a make out secession right when one of my employees could barge in asking a question. I was very curious. It worried me.

"You really want to know?" she asked. I nodded. "Fine. Here goes nothing. I want another baby."

Hold on. Did I hear that right? Did Nessie say she just wanted another baby? "What?"

"I know we talked about having another one already, and that we agreed the twins were enough. But I want another baby. I think she should at least try. Or maybe even think about it."

That wasn't what I was expecting. It was like a slap in the face. All the temptation of kissing was gone. I have two options. Do I tell her no, or do I tell her no? She said she wanted to talk about it. So I'm talking. The answer is no.

"No." See. We've talked about it. Done.

"What?"

"My answer is no."

"We're not going to talk about it?"

"We did."

"Stop acting like a jerk!"

"Stop daydreaming" I snapped. "Can you at least think realistically for once? We just might be in a war and you want to get knocked up again? You're seven, Renesmee. The possibility of you getting pregnant is zero in a million. If you were able to get pregnant wouldn't you already be when we actually tried? We just got married! Let us enjoy that instead of some stupid useless dream. I gave you a quick engagement. The least you could do is give me this."

Nessie looked at me shocked as I clenched my hands into fist. "You're right." She said. "It is some stupid useless dream."

I could tell I hurt her by my word vomit but she would also be mad if I lied to her. I was honest. I didn't want another baby. "Ness-"

"I've got things to do before I pick up the twins. You promised them that, you know. Another broken promise. I'll see you later."

I scoffed. She acts like I'm the bad guy in this. I have a meeting with investors. Am I the only one with sense in this relationship…did I just say that out loud?

Nessie got up and stormed out of the room. I chased after her and stopped her before she could get in her car.

"Listen to me."

"No! You listen to me, Jacob Black! If you think that I'm not being realistic then you're wrong. I realize that either me, you, and my babies may actually die. I know it was some stupid dream but I can dream it anyway! I realize that we were just married but it was a thought. That's what married couples do is think and talk about things like this. Yes, another baby would seem nice but I see your point. End of story."

"Then stop running and let's talk." I suggested, doing anything to keep from this fight going unfixed.

"Not here. You've got to go back to work." She said, avoiding my eyes.

"I'm the boss. I can do what I want."

"You do that anyway."

I backed away. "We'll talk tonight."

"What about the twins?"

"Kaleb can watch them."

"It's fine, Jacob. We've talked about it. You've stated your decision. It's put at rest now."

"But-"

"Love you, Jake." Nessie got in her vehicle and drove off. I let her.

I knew what I said before got to her. We already agreed that Sage and Grace were plenty. She even agreed. We joked it would be nice to dream. I didn't think once I put a wedding band on her finger she would want that dream to become a reality.

I walked back inside, pulling my color up to hide the bandage. The minute I stepped in my workers quickly went back to work. All except Kaleb. He wasn't like the others. He heard the conversation whether he liked it or not.

To get my mind off of things I started fiddling with a car that probably didn't have anything wrong with it. I noticed Kaleb stood next to me. I sensed he was hesitant to ask his question. I just wish he would spit it out.

"Trouble in paradise?" he whispered low enough for only me to hear.

"Not talking about it."

"Sure."

"Nessie wants to have another baby. I told her no."

"Ouch. That must suck. Grace said she really wanted a little sibling."

I looked at him. "I know. She is my little girl."

When I said that the wheels in my head turned. Oh God…Holy crap! What have I done?!

I dropped all I was doing and ran to my office, ransacking it even more, find my phone. I dialed Nessie's number but she never did answer. All I got was her voicemail. I couldn't tell her this over the phone. So all I did was swear after telling her to call me back.

It made sense. I was an idiot for not picking up her hints. But why couldn't she just come out and say it. She knows I have to connect the dots slowly and with a big, red highlighter. She was acting weird and moody. Her not wanting me to leave. Nessie was pregnant and I just told her I didn't want to have another child!

~~~~~~ Forever ~~~~~~

I rushed home hours later, giving Nessie time to relax and cool off. I was going to prove to her that I did want this baby. I just needed to figure out how to tell her that I figured it out. Why didn't she just tell me? I would have taken it a lot better. It would have been a lot better…

I walked through the door with Kaleb following me in. My family was in the dining room. The twins were doing homework and Nessie was cleaning.

"Let me do that." I said, taking the broom out of her hand.

"I can do it, Jacob. I went hunting and made a mess. How was work?" Renesmee said as if our argument had never happen. Or that she forgot to tell me something majorly huge.

"You went hunting?! You need to rest!"

"Thank you, Jacob, for being worried about me but I don't need rest. I took a nap after I got home."

"I told Grace I would help her with her homework! I always do!" We heard Sage yell at Kaleb.

"Maybe I can help the both of you." Kaleb offered as we made it to the dining room.

"I don't need help!"

"Sage!" Nessie and I scolded together.

"Sagie," my daughter said, "Kaleb was only trying to help."

Sage threw down his work and scrambled out of his chair. "I don't want his help!" he yelled, running out of the room.

Nessie and I timed the sigh at the exact time and looked at each other. "Kaleb? Could you please take Grace outside for a minute?" my wife asked.

"Uh…sure? Come on, Gracie."

I followed Nessie up the stairs to where we needed to be at the moment. I could understand my son's attitude with Kaleb. That was his sister. He's never had to share with somebody else. I know the feeling. Yet I had to be the good parent when I really wanted just to say, "That's my boy!"

Nessie turned the doorknob but it was locked. "Sage Edward Black, if you don't open this door…don't you dare use your gifts on us!"

I reached up for the key we kept on the top of the door. Nessie took it with a smile at me and unlocked the door. We saw Sage curled up in a ball, his Nessie curls everywhere, and his brown-black eyes threatened for tears to fall. Seeing my son upset made me forget about being cruel and mean. He was upset that this stranger was moving into his home.

"Sage-"

"He's taking my sister away!"

I sat down beside him and he crawled up in my lap. I could feel his salty tears hitting my chest. Nessie sat on the other side of him and played with his curls, something that usually relaxes and calms him down.

"I don't see her leaving."

"Then I'll run away."

"To where?" Nessie asked, chuckling a little bit.

"To…to Grandma and Grandpa's house! I'm not staying here with him!"

I sighed. Oh to think of the times I wish I could run away. But I was the adult. I had to show him what the right thing to do was.

"Sage, my love, sometimes we have to accept things we don't want to." Renesmee said, wiping his tears away.

"And sometimes we need to do things we don't want to do." I added.

I looked at my girl, seeing she was looking at me. It seemed we were thinking the same thing but yet it was completely different. It was confusing and scary at the same time. Maybe I needed to get a brighter highlighter.

"But I don't want to! She's my sister! I don't have to share her! Why is he even here?! It sounds like you don't even want him here, Daddy!"

I stayed silent. How did he know that? But I pushed that to the back of my mind because I didn't want to know. It was getting harder to hide it. Sometimes Nessie wondered, when she was younger, why I stayed around. Grace liked having Kaleb around just like Nessie does me. But Grace likes having everybody around. There was no romance. Not even close. I think I'll be the first werewolf to have a heart attack when it does.

"One, you're going to apologize. Two, you're going to go play outside with your sister and Kaleb to calm down while me and your daddy talk about something." Nessie asked, kissing our son.

Sage huffed, poking out his lip. "Fine…but only because you and Daddy asked-and I'm sorry I disobeyed you."

I laughed, ruffling my son's curls. I guess I need to be a good role model and change my attitude too. "Now go cause some trouble." I joked.

He nodded and ran out. Nessie looked at me, laughing. Was she going to tell me now? I figured she would wait until all of us were together but hey…whatever. "So…I have a feeling this talk isn't about chips, cake, and ice cream." I said.

"Don't remind me! I've got so much to do. I feel horrible that their cousins can't come though. Momma said that they would help. Alice thinks she should take over to take the "load" off of me. I've still got to get the presents wrapped, get the cake, and invite their friends…"

"Let me do some of the stuff. You should relax. Between me, Kaleb, and your family we've got this" I said, kissing her cheek and playing with her wedding band. Why can't she go ahead and tell me?!

"Thanks for the strange offering but I think a mother should be a part of the planning. What makes you think I'm glass or something?"

Because you're pregnant and you didn't tell me. I couldn't say that. I was too chicken right now. So instead I said, "We need to tell them soon. After seeing Sage we can't wait."

Nessie blew some curls out of her face. "I know. It's hard to fine the nerve and plan for a party in only a few days. I can't believe their turning seven, Jacob! We're getting old when we're not really, actually getting "old." Our babies aren't babies anymore."

It didn't hit me that my wonderful son and daughter were turning seven. They were growing up when I didn't want them to. The selfish part of me wanted to cute them small and young. The proud dad in me was excited to see them strive and grow. I knew they would exceed limits and cross plenty of more boundaries that me and their mother would never get to see. I just didn't think that they would turn seven and we would have another on the way.

"Tonight. You think that's fast enough? And I'm sorry. I should have let you explain before I snapped."

She laughed. "I understand. I know I brought it strange but-"

"We have a few more months to plan. Guess we can tell the twins that too." I butted in, sounding like the idiot I am.

"What?"

I looked at her. She didn't know what I was talking about. I mean, she didn't look like she was showing so… "You're pregnant."

She stared at me. "I am?"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

She saw the look on my face and I guess the wheels started turning. "You-you thought that I was pregnant?" She asked in shock and then busted out laughing. "No…you thought the reason why I want another baby was a way to tell you I was pregnant? I thank you for wanting to pamper me but…oh my God!"

Nessie laughed so hard that I had to hold her up. "So wait." I said. "You're not pregnant? Then why did you bring up another baby?"

"No! Of course I'm not pregnant! I just thought it would be nice if we talk about it. I can't jump in and get what I want anymore." She said, sobering up. "You're right though. Me being pregnant isn't something we need right now. But I will take the pampering any day."

She got up from Sage's bed, yanking me up. She gave me a devious smile and kissed me. I'm such an idiot.
