Finally

Chapter Fourteen

It had been three months and 13 days since Morgan had disappeared. We never knew anything about her, which made us half-relieved, half-anticipating. But I chose to stick with the relief part and not worry about her or the Volturi for that matter. I had some other stuff to worry about, including the huge ball that they refer to as my stomach- I couldn't see my feet anymore. Carlisle said that I was due sometime this week. I was my bed's prisoner and it really was annoying.

Claire is back to her normal self, thank God. The guys settled to only reporting him, and school supposedly punished him and informed his parents who apologized, I guess. Amy was finally un-grounded not a couple of days ago and Seth is now dealing with something even harder- he has feelings for her.

It's quite ironic how he, after telling her it was still too early for them to be "that" way, he has feelings for her and has been nagging Leah about it. She asked Jake never to be on patrol with her brother again. She said she loved him and all but she couldn't stand her brother thinking like that about some girl that she saw as a little sister.

Alice had bought everything the kids would ever need for clothing for probably the first four or five years of their lives- and that's considering their growth spurt.

Speaking of which, I got recently very concerned about that- about Sarah not being...immortal as we were. I didn't know what to do, what to think. Carlisle was frank with me, he told me that he knew nothing for sure about Sarah but Colby was bound to become a werewolf like his father and great-grandfathers. I never shared these worries with Jacob; he was worried enough these days about us and his work.

It broke my heart just to think that she might end up living a short, brief life. My baby girl might not be able to be like us. I knew what it was like to be unique but she- she was really one of a kind, without even having Alice see her future. We all knew it.

Daddy, Carlisle and Jasper were always there these days. 24/7. Momma, Alice, Rose and Emmett were taking shifts, too, like I was going to explode- not give birth to my babies. But I knew where they were coming from- the only similar experience that happened in this family- Momma's pregnancy. Carlisle wasn't that worried but he stayed upon my request- thelast thing I wanted is to have my father- I shuddered at the thought.

Jacob spent as much time with me as he could- everyone on the Pack were so tense these days- between me and Emily. Alice said she didn't know Emily's exact date- of course. But her doctor told her she was due sometime soon, too.

I leaned on the pillow and closed my eyes, breathing deeply. Jacob stroked my cheek gently.

"What's on your mind?" he asked gently, his eyes wary but his smile sweet. I smiled back at him.

"Nothing," I lied,"I'm just- I don't know, Jake," I admitted. He chuckled.

"You know," he said,"I'm losing my nerves." I rolled my eyes.

"You don't look like you are," I said. He kissed my forehead.

"I learned how to look carefree when I'm totally not," he explained,"It's a talent- You shouldn't try it." I laughed. If you only knew I've been practicing it for a very long time now."Practicing?" He raised an eyebrow. I stared at him before I spoke.

"You heard me?" I asked,"How-" he cut me off.

"Don't change the subject," he warned but his tone wasn't that harsh. I sighed.

"Can I-" he cut me off again with a sigh.

"Please, Ness," he begged,"Just tell me," he asked, embracing me. I decided to just let it out.
