Chapter 6: Weird

Nessie's POV

I woke up the next morning to the sound of my phone ringing. "Hey Nessie are you awake?!" Natalie shouted in my ear.

"I am now. Jesus Christ do you really have to yell so loud? You're lucky I'm not anywhere near you right now,"

"Yeah I know how you get when anyone wakes you up. You're so cranky. I still haven't forgotten your reaction when I tickled you in your sleep at that slumber party," I could almost hear her shuddering through the phone. I tried not to smile. "Anyway, I called to tell you that the video has close to a billion views now. It's bound to work any day now,"

"About that it kind of already has worked,"

There was a brief pause before she screamed "WHAT? YOU'RE JUST TELLING ME THIS NOW! YOU HAVE TO TELL ME EVERYTHING!"

"It just happened and I've been having such a hard time wrapping my head around it. It's a lot to tell you over the phone. Why don't we meet for breakfast at IHOP and I will tell you everything,"

"Fine. I can meet you there in 30 minutes," she said. As soon as we hung up I hopped out of bed. I let Bailey out of the room so he could go out and do his business while I fixed my bed and got dressed. Then I got Beau dressed and diaper changed. I figured that I would feed him as soon as we got to the restaurant.

I saw Natalie pulling into the parking lot at the same time that I was. "I can't believe you didn't tell me,"

"Well hello to you as well Natalie,"

She rolled her eyes dramatically. "Come on now. You have to give me the details. You have to tell me everything," I took a deep breath. "Table for two please and a highchair for my son," I told the employee at the entrance.

"Right this way ladies,"

I was surprised by how quickly we were able to get seated despite the fact that the restaurant was already full with the morning rush. Before Natalie could start pestering me with more questions I began telling her everything. Everything from my first meeting with Jacob, to meeting Edward at Costco, to meeting the rest of my family last night. I was only briefly interrupted by the waitress who came to take our orders. Natalie didn't say a word throughout my story which was very surprising. She wasn't one to be rendered speechless for a long period of time.

"Mama. Hungry," Beau nearly cried.

"Did he just…talk?" Natalie asked, stunned.

"Yeah, and I know it's weird,"

"Weird? That's way past weird. Three month old infants don't talk,"

"I know," I said. I began unstrapping my bra. My breasts felt very heavy all of a sudden. They ached for some relief. I picked up Beau and positioned him. I winced when I felt him bite my nipple.

"Oh no," my body tensed when I saw Jack and his buddies walk in.

"What's wrong?" Natalie asked.

"Jack is here. Jesus fucking christ. Out of all the places to come eat breakfast he had to come here,"

"Do you want me to punch him for you? Because you know I will,"

"Natalie please don't. We've already been to juvenile hall once. So unless you want to get back on probation again I suggest you don't do that. No matter how much it would please me,"

"It would be worth it,"

I laughed. "Yeah, let's not go down that path again. I mean colleges look at that kind of stuff you know?"

"Speaking of which, what are you going to do after high school?"

"I'm also going to college. Of course. You already knew that,"

"That was before you got knocked up though,"

"And nothing has changed. Yeah I'm sure it will be harder now that I have a baby but I still want to become a veterinarian. I'm not going to give up on my dreams. In fact, now that I have my son, I'm even more inspired to do something good with my life,"

"Well good for you. I just hope we end up at the same school,"

"That poor school that takes us both on won't even know what hit them," I laughed again.

I did a double take when I saw a familiar face walk through the door. It was Edward Cullen. My twin brother. "Holy shit. He's here,"

"Who?"

"Good morning Nessie. I didn't expect to see you here," his face lit up. But I had the vaguest feeling that he wasn't being entirely honest. As weird as that seemed.

Natalie's jaw dropped. She was rendered completely speechless as she stared at him.

"What are you doing here?"

"To eat. Obviously. Do you mind if I sit here with you ladies?"

"You're-wait-what?" I was tongue tied all of a sudden.

"Can I sit here with you ladies?"

"Yeah, sure. I guess I should introduce you two. Edward, this is Natalie. She is my best friend. Natalie this is Edward, my twin brother,"

"Wow. You're handsome,"

"And I'm in a committed relationship. Just so you know,"

Natalie's face turned to sour grapes. I could only imagine the things that were running through her mind right now. She wasn't exactly shy when it came to the male half of the human species. It was a miracle that she hadn't gotten pregnant herself yet. But then again, unlike me, she was having protected sex.

Just then the waitress returned with our meals. My mouth watered at the smell of my stack of buttermilk pancakes. "Aren't you going to order anything?" I asked Edward.

"Actually I changed my mind. I'm not that hungry after all,"

My heart stopped beating and I felt the blood drain right out of my face when I noticed that Jack was walking right toward us. "You must be the new unfortunate guy that Nessie is with,"

"Who are you?" Edward asked him.

"Jack. Renesmee's ex-boyfriend. Just thought I'd warn you about her-um-"

"Edward and I suggest you shut up right now," Edward growled.

"Hey if you want to fuck that whore then be my guess. She is just a used up bitch with a baby now anyway,"

Edward's eyes turned black. "Don't you DARE talk about her like that ever again,"

"Hey bro. I'm just telling you the truth,"

Edward got up so fast that I felt like I barely even saw him move. "Why don't we talk outside. We don't need any witnesses," Shivers ran down my spine.

"Maybe we should leave," Natalie suggested.

"But we haven't paid the bill yet," weird what my mind thinks about when all I want to do is get the fuck out of here.

"I'll take care of it," Edward said through gritted teeth.

Natalie and I gathered our stuff quickly and left. Even Beau looked scared and has stopped sucking on my nipple. I started to calm down more when I was in my car. My nerves held steady as I drove home. Michael was sitting there in the living room when I got home. "You got another letter from Italy," Michael pressed the envelope into my hands.

This was weird. Another letter from Italy. From Volterra, Italy. I had just started to open it when Beau cried unexpectedly. I dropped the letter in surprise and Bailey grabbed it quickly and ripped it up. I sighed. Oh well, it was probably nothing important anyway.
