His Sweet Girl (P. Lahote)

Chapter 24

Janie goes to the Cullens house the next day and Jasper hugs as soon as he sees her. He smiles before he goes to hunt. Janie ignores everyone and she goes to Jacob and she takes her nephew right out of his arms. Jacob goes to protect but Janie walks away and goes onto the balcony and Emmett guards the door, glaring at the wolf.

"Hi, Noel, I'm your aunt Janie," Janie coos at the baby. He's a day old but looks about a month. "You're growing fast, aren't you?" She smiles at him. "You might've killed my sister but damn it if you're not cute. I do love you, my cute nephew, even if you do look like your dad who has a short memory."

"Real nice," Edward says as he comes outside.

"Not my fault you forgot Bella was human," Janie replies in a baby voice. Suddenly, memories fill her head, it was her telling Bella she wasn't gonna watch her die.

"He can read minds like me but he can also project memories," Edward says. "According to Eleazar, two gifts is extremely rare. If the Volturi finds out, they'll want him."

"I have a question about his name," Janie says. "Why Noel?"

"Because of your middle name," Edward says. "Bella felt terrible but... look at him."

"I'm pregnant, Eddie," Janie says. "This was all..."

"Personal," Edward finishes for her. "I understand."

Janie looks back at Noel and she starts talking in baby gibberish and Edward sees Noel's thoughts.

"He loves you already," Edward says.

"Yeah?" Janie coos. "I love you, too, Noel Jacob." She smirks when Edward looks at her. "Jacob texted me his name. He's not as cold as Rosalie."

"Rosalie's just protective."

Janie rolls her eyes. "Bella and Noel are my blood. I couldn't watch Bella die. Rosalie can get over herself."

Emmett laughs inside when he sees Rosalie roll her eyes but smirks a little. Janie isn't as sweet as she was when they first met. The wolves are bringing out a side of her that everyone likes. She's more confident and blunt.

"Rosalie's getting jealous because you're hogging him."

"She can get over it, she was here for Bella and was the first one to hold him," Janie says. "Noel is mine for a while."

"Okay," Edward says and he goes inside. "Sorry, Rose, you lost yo the blood aunt."

Rosalie pouts.

"Don't worry, she'll have her own baby to worry about in a few months," Edward says.

"She's pregnant?" Alice squeaks.

"Yeah," Edward replies. "Let her see her nephew before she's too busy with her baby."

"She doesn't have a say over your and Bella's kid," Janie says as she walks in with Noel. "If I see my nephew is up to you and Bella alone. I'll be damned if the pack has something to say about my kid when he or she is born." She looks at Noel. "Isn't that right, buddy?" Janie's face softens when he smiles a toothless smile. "You're too cute!" She squeals. "Here's your daddy." She hands Noel to Edward. "I'll be back tomorrow."

"Bella will wake up tomorrow," Alice chirps.

"Even better," Janie replies. "I gotta go before Paul worries."

Janie kisses Noel on the head before she leaves. Rosalie takes the baby then and she walks away with him.

"My turn," she says before she disappears upstairs.

"How was it?" Paul asks when Janie returns.

"He's so cute! Poor thing looks like Edward but he loves his aunt Janie," Janelle replies with a bright smile. She pushes Paul onto the couch and straddles his lap.

Paul moves to get more comfortable and he smiles. "I'm liking this side of you."

Janie kisses his lips and pulls back. "Don't hold back just because I'm pregnant."

"Oh, don't worry, I won't."

Janie giggles and she gets up, running to the bedroom. Paul is up and after her quickly.
