All Grown Up: The Story of Jacob and Renesmee Part I

Good Old-Fashioned Vampire Cooking

Renesmee

I was woken up by Jacob's warm lips on my cheek. It took me a minute to remember that I was on the bathroom floor. I'd ended up there around 3 a.m. and proceeded to lose seemingly everything I'd eaten in the past 24 hours.

"Do you want me to get you some more towels?" he asked softly.

"No," I muttered. I was so hot and the cool tile felt nice under my skin.

"Okay...I have to leave. Or do you need me to stay?"

"No." I just wanted to be alone.

"All right, I'm gonna go then. Esme is downstairs with the kids, she said if you need her just whisper, she'll hear. So the kids are fine, you just worry about yourself okay? Get some rest, and I'll be home before you know it. I love you, beautiful."

"Love you," I murmured with my eyes closed. Before Jacob left, I heard him set a little portable fan on the floor of the bathroom, he switched it on high and left quietly. I can't say that the breeze made me feel good, but certainly a little better.

I sure didn't feel beautiful. I was wearing what I had slept in, a stretched out black tank top, and my oh-so-sexy maternity panties. Without even touching my hair, I could feel that my curls were knotted. It was uncomfortable and I wanted to brush it. I also wanted to sleep, and sleep won.

When I woke up before I opened my eyes I sniffed the air, Jacob wasn't home yet. If he was, he'd have been in here and I could tell he hadn't been. Nanna had though, there was a glass of donated blood on the counter. I reached up and gulped it down, as I drank my stomach growled and I felt a little nudge.

"I know guys, give Momma just a minute to wake up." I scooted so that I was leaning against the counter and mentally focused on my goal, getting back into bed.

"Do you need anything, dear?" Nanna called up.

"Food!"

I heard her delicate chuckle float up the stairs. "Anything special?"

"Junk food sounds heavenly right now."

"Coming right up, I'll send up an appetizer. Don't come down, you just relax where ever you are comfortable."

I pulled myself up on the counter and made it back to bed. I jumped when I heard a shriek from Swan.

"My mommy!" she cried.

"Let Anthony do this, and you can help me with Mommy's lunch." She continued to whine as I heard two little feet making their way up the steps. Anthony came through the door and presented me with a bag of cheddar and sour cream chips.

"Oh, yummy! Thanks, buddy." He stood at the side of my bed and handed them to me with a smile. "Come on up, you can sit with me as long as you don't bounce around." He scrambled up and settled in, curling up next to me. I opened the bag and wrapped my arm around him. He watched me as I munched happily, he was practically drooling and I had to stifle a laugh.

"Would you like one?" I asked him.

He stuck out his hand and said, "Yes please!"

"Did Nanna make you guys lunch already?"

"Mmm hmm." he said after he'd swallowed.

"What did she make?" I asked.

"Chicken nuggets!" he answered.

"Very nice. I wonder what she's making me," I said.

"It's a cheeseburger. And bacon on there too," he whispered like it was a big secret.
