His Golden Haze Part II

Surprise!

A/N: I started working on this while I had a couple of days off so this will be up before the scheduled times. My semester ends next week which means more updates!

Chapter 5: Surprise!

Renesmee POV:

Rachel was right when she said that it'll be easier to say goodbye to Jake when he goes off to work. Jake has been working there for about a month and he seems to be enjoying it. Nothing beats being home with Jay and me though. Since he worked there before, he had an easy time making friends with his coworkers so passing time there wasn't terribly agonizing.

A lot has been changing over the course of this month besides how quickly my body was changing to my pregnancy. Jay's vocabulary has been getting better thanks to this cool educational app Leah recommended to me. He's even learning how to spell and write his name. His hair is chin-length now and it looked so adorable on his round little face. Jake and I decided to let him grow it out and if he wants it cut, we'll gladly take him to the barbershop. Rebecca and Solomon are adding a new cub to their litter as of last week when they told everyone at family dinner. Her and Solomon are so happy to have another baby, they've waited what seems like forever to have another little one wreaking havoc. She's four months along now and she's showing just as much as I am, which is hardly much. The two of them decided to wait to tell everyone because they wanted to make sure there wouldn't be a miscarriage. Baby number three is a healthy baby just like its older brothers.

We converted Jay's crib into a toddler bed last night since he learned how to climb out of it. That boy is growing like a weed. We also decided to convert the crib because lifting him made back scream in pain. That also meant taking trips down the stairs took longer than I like but if he can walk then I can save my back a whole lot of pain. The momma's boy that he is still wants to be held at times and I can't ever deny his sweet self so I'd hold him only while sitting down. He still enjoyed it nonetheless and me not being able to hold him all of the time taught him how to be more independent. He's becoming less of a baby and more into a toddler now. It kinda saddened me to think that my firstborn is growing up so quickly but I'll have another bundle of joy in my arms before I know it.

"Mommy, I potty in toilet!" I heard a little voice squeal in excitement.

"Good job, buddy! You get have an M&M." I stood up from my chair and went to the bathroom.

We've started potty training him a few days ago when he woke up with a dry diaper. Emily told me that's when you start training them so Jake and I decided to go for it. We came up with a plan on how to do it. Jake would show him how to do it so we wouldn't get a giant pee mess like the first time we tried to, he got the hang of it the second time. We also bought a cool chart from a craft store and put stickers for every time he peed and pooped in toilet. He really enjoyed putting up the gold stars every time he used the potty. As a reward for using the toilet like a big boy, he gets a handful of M&M's. I ordered him a few pairs of Mickey Mouse and Captain America underpants for when he's fully potty trained. He still had his accidents here and there but he's close to nailing it.

I made sure to get the bag of M&M's and some stickers before I came into the bathroom. He shimmied into his pull up and nearly danced when I gave him a sticker to put on his chart. I resisted laughing at his excitement, it's just so contagious.

"I did it, Mommy!" Jay pressed the sticker on his chart excitedly, "Just like Daddy said!"

"I know, sweetie. He'll be so proud to hear about it when he comes home." I bent over to get his stool so he can reach the sink.

"You proud too?"

"Of course I am, Blue Jay." I grinned and kissed his cheek, "Before I give you your M&M's, what are we supposed to do?"
