His Golden Haze Part II

3, 2, 1

A/N: I have a pretty clear view on how I want the story to go but if you want to see certain things happen feel free to leave a suggestion. It may not be in the next chapter but I will do my best to include it.

Chapter 37: 3,2,1

Jacob POV:

“You can do it, Aria.” I cheered on my youngest.

After Christmas,  she finally learned how to roll over. She was pretty good at it but just needed a little more practice. She laying down on her back, frowning because rolling onto her tummy was harder than rolling onto her back. She then tried to roll over but she couldn't and so she started to grunt and kick her legs in protest. Jay and Chloë decided they wanted to help me and decided to do a little cheer for her which included a lot of clapping and chanting.

“Speedy, roll over! Speedy, roll over!” they said in unison.

Speedy became our little girl’s new nickname ever since we found out about her gift. I called her that once and it caught on pretty quickly. Ness was a little less than pleased only because she thought that Aria will end up thinking Speedy is her name but I reminded her that Jay is a nickname for our son and he still knew that his name is Edward.

The corners of Aria’s lips curved upward and for the first time she smiled. She looked so much like my mother with her cheeky grin that I instantly melted.

“Oh my, Ness! She’s smiling!” I called out to her.

Ness ran at her top speed and kneeled down so she can look at our happy little girl. Aria did a little Happy noise when she saw her mother and started smiling again.

“Look at you, you are just the sweetest baby.” Ness played with her feet and kissed her chubby little cheeks.

“She smile at me!” Chloë tugged on my sleeve, nearly shouting.

“That means she loves us.” Jay told her, “Right, Daddy?”

“Correct, buddy.” I chuckled.

“Is it New Years yet?” Jay asked.

“Nope, it won't be New Years until twelve o’clock in the morning.” I explained, “Right now it is about 8:30ish.”

“I wanna stay up!” Chloë jumped up in the air.

“You can try your very best, sweetheart.”

She was already getting sleepy but who would it hurt if Ness and I let them try to keep their eyes open to see the new year. Alice got the remote and changed the channel to a news source to watch the ball drop. According to Nessie’s family traditions, we are supposed to gather around and announce a wish or resolution to fulfill for the next year. They usually did it after midnight but seeing how the kids wanted to be a part of it and they would most likely be tucked in bed before midnight, we decided to do it a bit earlier.

“Alright everybody, let's share our hopes for the new year.” Carlisle gathered everybody around the living room.

One by one, we all shared our hopes. Chloë and Jay’s wishes cracked everybody up. Jay wanted to become a superhero by the time he turns two and Chloë wanted to live in a castle and have lots of horses. Little Aurora’s resolution is to rebuild an old car, with the help of Rosalie of course. Then it was my turn. I put a lot into what I wanted to accomplish on the new year. These past few years with Renesmee have been more than I could ever ask for. It is actually hard to think of what could I possibly want more. Everything has been seemingly perfect despite the ups and downs. I wanted to keep things the way they are and I knew that it could only get unimaginably better.
