His Golden Haze Part I

Mountain Sound

A/N: Rachel's baby shower is finally here! I considered all of the baby names but I really thought this would be perfect for Rachel's twins. I will of course use another name for Emily's baby too and possibly more if we get more children in the story. I want to get you reviewers really involved in this story so leave your thoughts and predictions, anything you'd like. Now back to the story.

Chapter 28: Mountain Sound

Rachel POV:

I really am so happy that Jake and Nessie will understand the joys of being parenthood like Becky and soon like me. The doctor suspects I'll have the twins between the next two months. I'm so excited to get to know my two little ones and love them endlessly. Today was my baby shower/ gender reveal party. After a few games and gift opening, Paul and I would open the box that would show everyone the babies' gender with either the colors pink or blue. We thought it would be a cool idea to include the twins' names on the balloons too.

Rebecca would come half an hour before the party to help make salad and small sandwiches. I was really thankful that Ness volunteered to make the three layer cake. My feet were really killing me. Jake and Paul were in the living room putting helium in our pink and blue balloons. Paul thought it was funny sucking up the helium and saying ridiculous jokes with a high pitched voice. I was sitting at table wrapping up the last of the party flavors and having a conversation about baby clothes with Nessie. She's always been happy with Jake but even more now since they found out they're expecting. Jake was kind enough to go hunting for her this morning when she got sick and now she's a happy camper. I'm so glad my morning sickness days are over.

"When I met Jake, I felt that anything was possible and I was right." Nessie sighed happily.

"I know exactly how you feel. I thought I'd be sad forever about Mom until Paul came in and changed everything." I smiled a little, "So are you rooting for a boy or a girl."

"I'd love to have a little girl to play dress up with and I'd also love a little boy to buy trucks for. I just can't decide, but I think having a healthy little bundle of joy is more important."

Baby A started to kick like crazy and I moved my hand to where it was. The kicks felt more painful now that I am in my final trimester. I didn't mind too much though, even if those two push on my bladder and make it hard to breathe, I love them with all my heart.

Jake and Nessie would leave La Push tonight so they could check up with her grandfather and tell the rest of the family about their new addition. They promised that they'd come down to see the twins but I was still weepy. Damn these pregnancy hormones. I can recall the night where I woke Paul up in three o'clock in the morning to get me a scoop of butter pecan ice cream and ended up falling asleep by the time he came home. I expected him to be a little moody when he woke up, but instead he treated me like his princess. It's funny how this imprinting thing works.

"Nessie you're going to be spoiled by my brother, I just know it." I laughed softly.

"He already has been." I saw her lips curve into a small smile,"It's so sweet seeing this gentle side of him. He helped me out of bed this morning and gave me this delicious cup of mountain lion blood. What more can a girl ask for?"

If he's acting this bad now, once she starts nearing the end he'll watch over her like a hawk. Paul was already bad. God forbid I ever do something for myself. I'm pregnant, not disabled. As irritating as it is, I still appreciated it greatly. He is a first time father after all, Becky told me that Solomon was a complete spaz during her first pregnancy and when Blake came around he was much more relaxed. I'm about to be a mother of two, I have no idea if I'll be able to handle a third child. Time will tell.
