Chapter 27: One Foot in Front of the Other

Renesmee POV:

I've busied myself with plenty of things as of lately. Things like planning Chloë’s six month birthday party which happens to be next month, decorating her big girl room which she’ll be moving into next week, and getting ready for the new baby to come which he or she would probably get here by the end of the next month or early of the month after. You'd think I’d be stressed out but I actually feel pretty relaxed. With our stocks flourishing, Jake is able to quit his job and help me out with the kids. They did still go to my parents twice to three times a week for their homeschooling though. I've been in heaven, I'm all nice and plump thanks to number three and I just had a baby shower so I would have to do very little shopping.

We even started building another house on the property so my family in Canada could have a place to stay when they come down to visit us. I made a special room just for Aurora since she is the only one that sleeps. There were also plenty of bedrooms too. We all thought it would be a good idea since the cottage that Mom and Dad live in would be a bit too small for a whole bunch of vampires.

Chloë is growing like a weed just like Jay. She was starting to look one and her vocabulary has increased a lot within this month. She could say mini sentences and her new favorite word was ‘no’. She can stand up on her own but she hasn't taken any steps though. She’s so close! And Jay has grown a lot too, he looked about two and a half going on three and his mind was just flourishing. He can color within the lines, count to one hundred, and he’s even learning how to read.

My parents are really good at what they do. My little ones will be so smart and ready for high school by the time they were close to the end of their growing spurts. Jake and I actually thought about it a lot, whether or not we’d go to highschool with them or not. I, myself, never attended high school but Jake graduated from the high school on the reservation. I’d like to experience it but I was conflicted on whether or not I should wait until we were back with my family to start doing the tradition of going through high school a million times.

“Good! Good! You're standing up!” Jay clapped his hands.

He’s been encouraging her to walk these past few days.

“Now take one step!” Jay held his arms out.

“No!” and she sat right back down on her butt.

“Sorry, buddy.” Jake musseled his hair, “She’ll do it eventually.”

“How's the paint coming along, honey?” I peered over my laptop to look at Jake.

“The tickle me pink paint looks absolutely beautiful.”

We let Chloë pick out the color of her special big girl room and it was no surprise that she chose a shade of pink. After the paint dried, we’d put her crib in there and decorate it with princesses and girly stuff. She would just love it!

“Whatcha looking at?” Jake asked while he cleaned off an apple and started munching on it.

“Oh, I just ordered another one of those convertible cribs and now I'm looking at cars.” I scrolled down the car dealership site, “I don't want to buy any time soon but I'd like to keep some cars in mind.”

“Not a bad idea. Fave some and I'll look through it later.”

“Will do!” I sang.

Then number three decided to make an appearance. Oh yeah, that’s something new too as of a couple weeks ago. I was trying to take a nap and my little one made a whoosh across my tummy.
