Leah's POV
Three Weeks Later ...
Pregnancy was one of the things I'd craved most in my life. Well not actually the physical aspect of being with child, but family was most important to me. However, now that I am actually pregnant I realize just how the connection to the babies in my womb was just as important. I just wasn't expecting the typical things that female's complained about to be an issue for me. I didn't expect to be hormonal but I really, really was and after a good cry fest I would always feel stupid about it. I woke up with tissues all around me and remembered banishing Jake to the couch because he just didn't get it. He looked at me like a little lost puppy. Trust, he kept harping on trust but to be fair I would go crazy whenever he brought up Renesmee.
"I have to let that go," I murmured to no one in particular. My house was empty and I looked over at the clock. I'd slept more than half my day away. I didn't get up to make him lunch I was a horrible girlfriend. I got up and rushed to the bathroom. I caught a glimpse of myself in the full length mirror and froze. I was really pregnant. I could really see it. The babies were making themselves known in a major way. I held Jake's shirt back to get a better look and chuckled. I wanted to show Jake but he wasn't there. Sadness waved over me hard. I wanted to cry all over again. "Mommy made your dad upset last night but don't worry I'll fix it," I cooed to my stomach.
After I got myself together I called Seth and asked him where Jacob was going to be working today. It was another one of those ritzy places he really couldn't stand. Jake wasn't going to supervising today he planned to get his hands dirty. I loved when he did that. Seth and Quil were going to be there too. Embry have miscalculated something and they had to go in and fix it. I pulled up to the scene and I saw the working on the side of the house. Apparently it has something to do with the back deck that wraps around the side of the house. It was pretty cool unique feature. I saw Jake point at something and Embry go under the fixture and so did Jake.
"This is pretty cool," I muttered as I stood beside Quil. He looked at me wide eyed and then gave me side hug.
"Yeah with the potential to collapse. Matter of fact you might want to step back a little." Both Quil and I took a couple steps back it was then that I noticed that Sam was there too. He looked at me and his eyes seemed ... I couldn't place the emotion in his eyes but he said nothing to me. He did nod in my direction and I reciprocated. I became distracted when I felt Quil's hand on my belly. I frowned for a moment.
"Sorry, I just hadn't seen you since the bump," he chuckled. "These little guys are all Boss talks about."
"Really, I can't imagine that," I confessed because I knew Jacob was still adjusting. I honestly thought that the only reason he said he was happy was for my benefit. Jake reappeared and seemed confused my presence.
"This fixture isn't safe Leah. I don't want you standing this close to it," he said solemnly. He was wearing a tight charcoal gray shirt and dark denim and he was all dirty. He was delectable. "Why are you here?"
"I brought your lunch ... well lunch for everyone. Can you help me get it out of the car?" He nodded and walked back to the car with me. I reached for his hand and he looked down at me.
"I'm sorry I'm a basket case Jacob," I whispered and he nodded but I could tell we still weren't okay. I unlocked the car and he grabbed all of the food. "Jacob?"
"I know it's not you Leah, we need to talk privately about this," he said quietly. Oh shit! I was in trouble I looked down at my shoes. "Let's take this to the boys and then find a room to talk. I nodded. After the pizza and drinks were spread out in the kitchen Jake took me to one of the bedrooms upstairs. He sat down on the bed and I stood in case I needed an escape plan.
"I know that you're emotions are going to be crazy right now. I get that but it didn't feel good being kicked out of bed Leah. It angered me so much that I phased. How am I supposed to grow old with you and our kids if I can't keep my anger in check?" I was shocked I thought he was mad at me.
"Don't worry Jake it will come in time. I'm sure once the Cullen's disappear we will both stopped phasing. I know the only reason I stopped is because of the babies. I will try my best not to hurt you so much." I cradled his face in my hands and he looked up at me with sad drained eyes.
"I felt I disappointed you. That's all I feel lately like I can't make you happy," he muttered and my heart became heavy.
"No God no, Jake last night was completely my fault and my damned hormones. I think I hurt myself more than I hurt you by kicking you out of bed. I missed you last night. I'm just used to my guy being right behind me." I smoothed hands from his face onto his shoulders. "You're right I still have some concerns and trust issues where Ness is concern. I know logically I need to let that go and that she's not a threat. It just confuses the hell out of me that we are together." I shook my head.
"What is there to be confused about? I feel that when you truly love someone you fight for them and make the impossible possible," Jake said firmly and I chuckled a little.
"You've done that in every aspect of my life Jake." I rubbed my stomach and he put his hand on top of mine.
"We are a family Leah. We need to trust each other and keep them safe. All insecurities need to be laid to rest. I want Ness and Seth to come to dinner. Maybe if you talk to Ness it will become clear to you.
"I have talked to Ness plenty," I fussed. I tried my best not to be mad about him wanting her in our space.
"No, I want you to talk to her about the imprint. Ask her every question under the sun until you feel satisfied. Until you see," he said as he wrapped his arms around me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he lowered his forehead to mine.
"Until I see what?"
"That I never have, and never will see anyone but you Leah Clearwater," he murmured before kissing me. Our kiss was sweet, soft, yet passionate. It made me long for his day to be over. I had balled up his shirt into my fist and had a really hard time letting go. "So tonight you Ness have a little heart to heart and we put this thing to bed?" I nodded.
"And then you put me to bed?" I eyes him seductively and gave me that little smirk. He wrapped his arms around me once more and smoothly reached around and cupped my behind.
"Hell yeah little woman," he teased and popped me on the butt. "But right now I need you to leave because I need to work."
