The House That Jacob Built
One more nail in the coffin
Bella POV
I stood in Sam and Emily’s kitchen watching the boys squabble at the table, waiting for Emily to dish up their lunch. It was over a week since I’d agreed to marry Jacob Black. I still hadn’t told my mother. I was being a coward admittedly but in my defence, she’d kill me!
“OK boys.” Emily said warmly. “Dig in.” She placed a large pot of stew on the table, followed by a basket full of bread. I inhaled the smell. It smelled wonderful. I helped myself to a small bowlful and a piece of bread. I stood against the counter eating, smiling at Jake and his “brothers” digging in.
“I guess we really can’t call you vampire girl anymore.” Embry all but shouted across the table at me. I laughed at him. “So you’re a wolf girl now.”
“No she’s my girl!” Jacob corrected him.
“Hey Bella, do you want a coffee?” Emily asked me.
“Sure, sure.” I replied. I was even picking up Jacob’s habits. I grinned and shook my head at the thought. Emily handed me a cup of coffee. Then something strange happened. The coffee smell was so much stronger than it should be. A wave of nausea hit me and I ran for the bathroom. I barely made it before I began throwing up violently.
I heard someone behind me but couldn’t stop being sick long enough to see who it was or tell them to go away. Someone started pulling my hair back from my face. I expected Jacob but when I finally looked upwards I saw Emily.
She handed me some tissue and a glass of water.
“How long have you known?” she asked me. I looked up at her questioningly. “You mean you’re not pregnant?”
“No...or at least...I don’t....I don’t know.” I replied. I thought back and realised there had been a couple of times in the past few month of being together that Jacob and I had forgotten to take precautions. “I supposed it’s possible....”
“I think we’d better do a test don’t you? Are you late at all?” she asked me softly. I did the math in my head. No I didn’t think so. Then I did it again. Maybe I was. And again. I was...but only just, that’s why I hadn’t noticed.
“Only by about two days.” I told her finally. She nodded and turned to leave.
“I have a test in the bedroom I’ll be right back.” She told me. “Do you want Jake here?” I shook my head, no. I didn’t want Jacob knowing anything until I knew for sure. No point worrying us both for nothing.
I heard Emily telling them I was fine I just felt a little bit sick and dizzy. She told Jacob to finish eating first and not to worry. Then she came back into the room. I wanted to ask her why she had a pregnancy test lying around but thought it would be nosey. It seemed that she read my thoughts.
“I have one left from when I found out I was pregnant.” She said. I looked at her tiny bump. At least if I was pregnant I wouldn’t be alone.
“How far gone are you now?” I asked her.
“Four months.” She smiled. “I’m just beginning to get a bump now. Now let’s find out about you.”
She handed me the test and left the room. I knew she was stood just the other side of the door. I took a deep breath and read the instructions. Here goes.
I opened the bathroom door holding the test and Emily turn to face me straight away. I was in shock I didn’t know what to think, feel or say. I just held it up to her.
“You’re pregnant!” she beamed. “Congratulations!” She hugged me which helped. I calmed a little and a smile gingerly appeared on my face. “You are happy aren’t you?” she asked unsure.
“Yes.” I nodded finally. “I’m just shocked...it’s just a little soon.”
“You’ll be fine.” She told me. “I promise.” I saw Jacob and the boys poking their heads into the hallway curiously. I looked a Jake and couldn’t help but feel a grin tugging at my lips. He would be happy. He would be thrilled. I knew it. “Are you going to tell him?” Emily asked, taking the test from me and pushing me forward gently.
“What is it Bella?” he asked. “Are you ok?” I looked up at him and suddenly telling him was easy.
“Yeah, I’m fine Jake.” I said. “But it seems Sam’s not going to be the only dad around here.” He looked at me for a moment, trying to process my words.
“Way to go Jake!” Jared called from behind him.
“Yeah quick work man.” Embry called.
“You’re...you mean...” he couldn’t get his words out.
“Yes.” I told him.
“You’re going to be a dad Jake.” Emily said from behind us. “I’m so proud of you.” A dopey grin covered his face as she hugged him quickly.
“You’re having my baby?” he asked me. I nodded. He picked me up and spun me around. His face covered with such excitement it had me smiling too despite my fears.
This was yet another thing I did not want to tell my mum. Another nail in my coffin. How could I tell my dad I was pregnant?!! Although he almost certainly knew otherwise by now, he still likely to pretend I was a virgin.
Sam came entered the hall to see the celebrations, and raised an eyebrow questioningly.
“Bella’s having a pup.” Embry told him. He chuckled and went to put an arm around Emily.
“Double congratulations then.” He said. “A wedding and a baby, you’re setting a record Jake.”
The celebrations continued that afternoon. I sighed and thought about everything. I loved Jake, I was going to marry him and we were having a baby. I was happy about those things...it was just also rather scary. I was a huge shock.
I guess it was our own fault if we were that worried about me getting pregnant we should have made damn sure we took all proper precautions but I guess we were firstly a little caught up in the moment and secondly we knew we were in this together even if something did happen, which it had. I didn’t mind having a baby, I was excited and broody but in shock.
My parents would not be taking it so well. My mum would go mad at the getting married part but would probably be excited about the baby. My dad appeared not to mind all that much about the wedding but would go mad about the betting pregnant part.
Jacob POV
I looked at my Bella leaning against the side. I couldn’t keep the smile from my face. My family stood right there. I couldn’t help but be proud of her.
Author’s notes: sorry it was a short one but I didn’t want to get carried away and make it too corny. :D
