Chapter 31: Nesting

Renesmee POV:

It’s been a couple of weeks since Chloë's party and we’ve spent a lot of that time preparing for our trip to Canada and for the baby. The day after the party, I experienced the light contractions I usually get when I get close to the end of my pregnancy so my family would be staying until after the baby was born. At least one of my family members would come over to help Jake watch the kids since I couldn't really move around.

I spent a lot of time on the internet ordering stuff. I ordered the birthing pool and all the stuff we needed for it. This was definitely new but if it worked out great then we could do this for future births. I also ordered the car that Jacob wanted, I wanted it to be a surprise for him. He totally deserved something nice. The nursery was ready all thanks to my wonderful Aunt Alice and Grandpa made sure we would have all our medical supplies ready. It is all just a waiting game at this point.  Jacob, of course, was worried sick about me as he always was during this last stretch. And while it it was endearing and sweet, it annoyed me just a tiny bit. We’ve been through this twice, he knows I'll be okay.

I know it’s just in his nature to fret over me but him being a nervous wreck wouldn't help anything. He kept checking on me every ten minutes to the point where I forbade him from coming into the bedroom until bedtime. It hurt a little but him seeing me in pain hurt way more. It really sucked because I haven't seen much of the kids besides when they come in to give me food or for a kiss goodnight. They were getting restless. They demanded to see their mother and I wanted so bad to hold them in my arms. I didn't realize I was crying until I felt my mother’s cool arms wrap around me. She was the only person I wanted to be around in this state and she was more than happy to spend the entire day with me.

I miss them, Mom. I told her through my gift.

“Oh honey, do you want to sit outside with them for awhile? Your contractions aren't too bad right now.” Her small hands stroked my curls, “Daddy and I will make lunch so you can spend time with your family.”

That didn't sound so bad. I wiped my tears and I sat up with some help. Mom pulled my hair up into a bun and adjusted the wires I was hooked onto so I could get up. The kids didn't like to see me hooked up to the monitors but I assured them that it was only to see that the baby is okay. I held my mom's hand while I stood up and she then unhooked me from my contraction monitor. We kept the IV fluids going since I didn't want to become dehydrated, I'll do my best to stay out for as long as I can. I felt so heavy and sore, the baby was running out of room and her kicks felt like hell.

Jacob was on the couch with the kids reading them a book. They were being so good for him and that eased me a bit. I could smell Dad starting on lunch, I think he's making chicken alfredo. I joined my love's on the couch and I was happy when my two little ones crawled close to my sides and hugged me with all their might. Jacob smiled at me and kissed my temple. As uncomfortable as I felt, I was so happy to hold my babies close to me. I kissed both their heads and gave them a squeeze.

“Mama, Daddy read book.” Little Chloë pointed from the crook of my neck.

“Really? What's he reading?

“Cat in the Hat.” Jay confirmed with his sweet dimpled smile.

“Ooh that's a good one.” I ran my fingers through his bronze hair.

Jacob continued to read the story to the kids. It was relaxing with the four of us even though I wish I could see my youngest already. By the time Jake was finished with the book, we enjoyed our lunch as a family and I even stayed out to watch a movie with the kids. All was peaceful until I felt my stomach churn in all the wrong ways. Dad rushed me into the bathroom while I lost my lunch to the toilet. Damn it! I thought I was done with that. I could hear Chloë crying for me and I felt so guilty and started to cry for the second time today.
