His Golden Haze Part II

Those Brown Eyes

A/N: Who's ready to meet number 2?!

Chapter 12: Those Brown Eyes

Renesmee POV:

When the pain became too much, I got the epidural. I think my tolerance for pain got way better after Edward Jacob, but I could only take so much of it. I texted the girls that the baby is coming and Jake texted the guys. They were all super excited to meet the newest addition to the Black family. Jake arranged dates when they'd get to meet the baby since I couldn't wait to show our little one off to everyone we love. Jake's sisters' families, his dad and Grandpa Charlie would come in a few days, Kim's family would come next week, Emily's family would come the following day, Embry and Quil will come with their imprints that weekend, and Leah's family will stop by once they return from Brazil. The schedule seemed pretty packed, but I couldn't help but be excited about it all.

I drank an ounce of blood every hour. Grandpa wanted to see if it would affect how my body would heal after the baby is born. I didn't mind though, send that O positive my way. I FaceTimed Mom after Aunt Rose checked my dilation again. Jay was eating lunch and learning the difference between warm and cool colors with Aunt Alice.

"She's even got me calling him Calvin Klein!" Mom rolled her eyes.

"I think it's cute." I chuckled, "And he likes to be called that just as much as she likes calling him that."

"We found out that EJ likes Esme's cookies just like you do."

"While that's totally cool, please do not only feed him sweets!" I reminded her, "He really likes carrots!"

"Don't worry, he will get his serving of veggies."

"Okay, Mom. I love you guys, I'm gonna try to get some sleep while the pain is bearable."

"Love you too, give Jake a hug for me."

"Will do." And then I hung up.

Jake sat beside me pretty much the whole day. It was pretty uneventful right now, I only progressed a couple centimeters within these last six hours, so I'm nearly at the finish line. Jake has been reading books on fathering two children to give him some confidence. I have no doubt he'll be great.

With my hand in his, I shut my eyes and let those delta waves set in. I was woken up by the most intense pain I've felt so far in this labor. I let out a cry and Grandpa and Aunt Rosalie were in the room checking everything.

"Holy cow, Renesmee, you're ready to push." Rosalie peered under the covers.

Sure felt like it.

"Start pushing on the next contraction." Grandpa ordered as he put my feet up on the stirrups.

When I felt the next wave of pain come, I grasped tightly onto Jake's hand and brought my chin to my chest. I heard Jake and Aunt Rose counting:

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10."

"Take a deep breath, the head is almost out."

"What color is the hair?" I asked with a pant.

"Black." Aunt Rose smiled at me.

He has Jacob's jet black hair.

"Shit!" I cursed under my breath as I felt another wave of pain and I started to push again.

"Head is out! Don't stop!"

I let out a small scream when I felt the shoulders come out and then I took a short breath before pushing again. Jake wiped my forehead with a cool cloth and told me that he loves me.
