Chapter Thirty Nine - Too Early
Rosalie's POV
It had been several months since Jacob moved to Jane's apartment, and all of us where shocked, but more proud than anything with how amazing he was being. He was there for ever doctors appointment, every parenting class and waited on Jane hand and foot.
Alice was growing jealous with the way he was treating Jane like a princess, but soon got over it when Jasper would go and do some other ubber romantic junk he was known for.
Her and I had been going over to the guy's apartments more than ever lately. For one, our internship was going so well that Jessica was having us help with more projects for the magazine it's self, and second was to help out Jane as much as we could.
She was having a rough go of it later on in her pregnancy and seemed to be at the doctors almost every week making sure things were going like they should.
"I cannot believe I've got less than three months to go." Jane looked over at us, where we were all sitting on her couch watching movies.
It was a girls night sort of thing, Alice and I taking advantage of the fact Jake was still at work for several more hours.
"Well ugh, it's kinda hard not to believe it Janie." Alice laughed and pointed at Jane's stomach.
"I know. I'm like a elephant." she shook her head.
"Nah, you look adorable girl." I smiled and gave her a hug.
She had been really hard on herself through all this and needed many a hug to reassure her that she was still our beautiful Janie.
"Thanks hun." Jane smiled.
"But seriously, can you believe it? Only two more months to go." Alice said excitedly.
"Yeah I know. I mean, it's nice with her being in there, we can to talk to her, I can eat as much crap as I want and where shes also safe from Jake's mutant hands. But once she's out, it's like for real, and I'm really scared." Jane admitted.
"Janie, you've got everyone around you ready to help, in anyway we possibly can." I took her hand and told her sincerely.
"I appreciate that, to know you guys are here. It means the world to me, really." Jane teared up before blaming it on the hormones and calming down again.
"And I shall be the crazy Aunt that lets her stay up late and eat cookies for breakfast." Alice announced.
"Oh yeah, real rebellious Ally." I teased Alice and she crossed her arms over her chest and attempted to pout, which she just wasn't very good at.
"Great, now I want some damn cookies." Jane threw her arms up in the air and sighed.
"Well then, lets have some damn cookies." I told her before heading to the kitchen and rummaging around, finding a couple different boxes and returning back to the living room with them.
"Good, maybe you two will get fat right along with me." Jane laughed.
"What a great friend you are, trying to corrupt us. Gee thanks." Alice said sarcastically.
"I can try." Jane chuckled and threw a cookie at Alice.
"Do you see this Rosie? I'm being picked on by someone I can't even retaliate against. This is just not right." Alice sighed dramatically while Jane and I started to laugh.
"I'll just blame my teasing on the hormones again, that seems to work for everything. I don't clean up something, I tell Jake it's the hormones and he cleans it up for me. It's great." Jane laughed while Alice shook her head.
"Taking advantage of my cuz Jane?" I questioned her with a smirk.
"I am not. I'm simply milking this for all it's worth." Jane made a valid point and I had to agree with her.
Soon after that, we said our goodbyes and left just before Jacob usually would get back from work. We promised to call her everyday to check in, and she promised to let us know how everything was going at her next ultrasound, which was a few days later.
When Jane did call later on in the week, she sounded like she was upset about something and I asked her about it. She finally explained how the doctors were concerned about the baby, but told her not to worry about things until they ran some tests and knew more.
This definitely was of no comfort to her, and I could completely understand it how wouldn't be.
The following few weeks, we only went by to see Jane a couple of times. She was basically on bed rest and was told to take it easy until the time came to deliver. At this point, I was getting most of my information from Emmett, who was getting his from Jacob.
Somehow during one of our conversations over the phone, he filled me in on the bet they all had going on whether the baby would be a boy or a girl.
"Seriously Em? You all are betting on what the baby will be?"
"Yeah babe, even Jake is. Thing is, I'm gonna win." He laughed
"Oh really? And how much is the pool up to?" I shook my head and asked, but honestly wasn't shocked to hear this. After all, Jake and Emmett were involved.
"A few hundred. Jake and Jas think it's gonna be a boy, while I'm the only smart one of the group, going with Jane's gut instinct and agreeing with her that it's gonna be a girl."
"Interesting. Well you all have fun with that, but please, there will be no pile driving anyone into the ground in the hospital's waiting room when some of you guys ends up wrong." I warned him and he laughed again.
"I promise, none of that at the hospital. Even though, technically that would be the best location if pile driving was to occur."
"Em, don't push it." I rolled my eyes.
"Okay baby girl. No extreme activities, no matter where we're at."
"Thank you." I sighed.
Emmett's POV
Jasper and I were both busy studying Sunday night. I had done all the school work that I had to, and was now going over drills and learning the new plays we had to learn. Jasper was reading something about stuff I had no clue or any desire to know about.
I had made the mistake of asking him about something one night, and vowed never to do it again. Two hours, four different books and a small argument later, I realised we weren't even talking about what I had asked him in the first place any longer.
Somehow it had gone from my question about the heart to serious a information overload about food, which just pissed me off. By the end of it, he was basically saying that nothing is healthy or alright to eat, and that everyone would be better off consuming only vegetables like an iguana or something.
And after all that was said and done, I never did get my question answered about the damn heart.
I was about to call it a night and get a break from offensive plays, when Jake came barging into our apartment.
"Really need to lock that door Em." Jasper sighed.
"The girl is driving me mental." Jake grabbed his head and looked like he was attempting to squish it between his hands.
"Whats going on man?" I asked as I put my books on the coffee table so he could sit on the couch.
"Up and down with these moods. I don't know if shes coming or going anymore."
"This is typical of someone who is preg-" Jasper started and both Jake and I silenced him instantly.
"No doctor Jasper, not tonight. Please. Lets keep the conversation to an at least 3rd grade level for me, I beg of you." Jake pleaded and Jasper rolled his eyes.
"Now, what the heck is going on?" I questioned him again.
"So I make Jane and I dinner. Mind you, I'm cooking, so it's basically boxed mac and cheese and grilled cheese. That's the extent of my cooking skills."
"Way to get in all your food groups." Jasper rolled his eyes again and complained.
"Quiet you. I can never look at another hot dog again because of your ass. Don't open your mouth if you have anything to say about food, not around me. I don't know what I'd do without easy mac." Jake begged Jasper.
"Fine. Clog your arteries before the age of 30, then see what kind of advice I give you." Jasper huffed and left the room.
"So, anyways, I made the dinner and Jane was okay, for like 30 seconds, then all hell broke loose. She was laughing about something and then she started to cry, by the end of it, I had nearly been stabbed in the chest and a firggin' fork was thrown at my head. It was like assault with a deadly weapon. I could press charges Em." Jake said particularly serious and I wondered for a second if he was joking or not.
"Bro, I hate to say it, but I think you just gotta suck it up for another couple months." I shrugged and got up from the couch to get something to drink.
"Suck it up, seriously bro? I'm dealing with a person who could very likely be the demon offspring of Hitler and Freddy Krueger, and you want me to chill out? I think this calls for evasive action, like we need to strategize bro."
"Jake, listen to yourself, it's Jane. What is she gonna do?" I laughed.
"Melt me with her evil glare. You haven't seen the looks she gives me, it's inhuman. I've nearly sobbed."
"Dude. You're insane." I told him as I came back into the room.
"I am completely sane man, it's the female who has lost her mind. Hormones are the destroyer of all." Jake sighed.
I went to give him a look when the front door flew open, and in walked Jane.
"Oh god, shes returned, save me due." Jake proceeded to literally hide behind me.
"Geeze, man up Jake." I laughed before looking back to Jane.
"Jake." Jane gasped before she collapsed to the ground.
"Oh my god." Jack flew from behind me and over to Jane.
"It hurts Jake, so bad."
"Come on, we're going to the hospital." Jake pulled her into his arms and carried her out the front door.
"Dude, let me get Jasper." I ran over to Jasper's door and pounded on it.
I told him what happened and we both ran from the apartment and met Jake and Jane downstairs by my Jeep, he was already getting into the back with her.
"Janie girl, please keep that baby in there until we get to the hospital." I chuckled nervously.
"I'll try Em." Jane was able to laugh, but then cringed only a moment later, "It's too early Jake. There's still two months to go."
"It's early yes, but not unheard of. The doctors will know what to do." Jasper tried to reassure her.
"I'm so sorry baby. I'm sorry I can't cook real food, or do anything right." Jake apologized and kissed her on her forehead.
"I'm sorry too. Sorry I called you a worthless piece of-"
"Okay, I get it." Jake laughed 'and cut her off before she could finish.
Half way to the hospital, Jane told me to call Rose and Alice, and I just so happened to get ahold of them while they where together.
"So, Jane might be having the baby." I told Rose, but it was only Alice's voice in the back round that I heard.
"What! No, no, no. I'm not ready for this. Its too early. I still had to months to prepare-"
"Get your ass in the car and drive Alice." Jane screamed before grabbing my seat from behind.
"Okay. We'll be there in just over an hour babe." Rose told me before scolding Alice for squealing again.
"Alright, see you there Rose."
Rosalie's POV
Alice was in her car and screaming for me to hurry up before I had even hung up with Emmett. She was about to drive off by the time I had grabed my coat and ran out the front door of her house, where we had been hanging out.
The entire drive there she didn't shut up, not once. At one point she about drove into the back of someone's car, who had stopped in front of us. I had seriously considered having her pull over so I could drive, but then figured if she didn't have something to occupy her mind, she would drive me even more crazy.
It was close to 10 o'clock when we got to the hospital and ran into the lobby. I spotted Emmett immediately and only a second later saw Jasper, who was pacing.
"How is she?" I asked Emmett.
"They're worried 'cause it's so early." he explained.
"So the baby is definitely coming then?" I gasped.
"Oh yeah, it's coming alright." Emmett nodded.
"Oh my gosh." Alice gasped and fell into a waiting chair next to Emmett.
"The doctor said he'd be out to let us know hoe it's going soon. Oh, and Jake pissed some nurses off though." Jasper chimed in and told us.
My mind started going over all the possible things Jack could have gotten into to get the nurses mad, all while his girlfriend is in labor.
"What did he do?" Alice rested her elbows on her knees and buried her face in her hands as she asked the guys.
"There was a kid with a broken leg in a wheelchair. So what does genius do, he starts doing wheelies with him down the hall there." Jasper explained and I couldn't help but laugh a little, even though both Jasper and Alice gave me looks afterwards.
The four of us sat there and waited for an hour or so, and until Jacob came out, clearly looking a bit overwhelmed.
"It's coming, like I can't stop the little thing. And there's tears and screaming and blood, I feel like I'm in the movie Braveheart." Jake crumpled into a chair across from us.
"Do they know how long it'll be?" Alice questioned him.
"Soon. They said it's gonna have to be rushed off immediately though, because it's so premature."
"Hows Jane?" Jasper asked him.
"Dude, tears? Blood? That didn't about sum it up for ya? The kid, that's the size of a football is currently being shoved out of my Janie, I don't thing this is her favorite hour." Jake rolled his eyes.
All of us turned around when a nurse came through the doors behind us, "You may want to get back in here sir."
"I'll be right there." Jake called back to her before turning to me, "She wants you in there Rosie."
"Me?" I can't." I shook my head and frantically waved my hands.
I couldn't even fathom seeing all that was involved in having a kid, let alone watching Jane be in pain like that at the same time. I continued to try and explain how it would be best if I didn't go into the room, but everyone continued to insists. But once I heard Jane screaming for both Jake and I, I all but jumped up from my chair.
I walked into the room and all the fears I had left and new once took there place. Instead of being selfishly scared about passing out or something from the madness that this all was, I now was worried about my friend, and of course the baby.
I ran over to the opposite side of her bed that Jacob was at and grabbed her hand to hold.
"How are you girl?"
"Wonderful." Jane laughed before cringing.
"Can't they give you like pain medicine or something?"
"Apparently I must suffer for the greater good." Jane shook her head and sighed.
"She can't have anything or it may slow the progress, and we need to get the little one out." the doctor chimed in and explained.
"Yeah, they just wanna torture me, don't let 'em fool you." Jane joked and I was floored with how amazing she was at this moment.
Jacob was speechless and Jane was making jokes, I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone or something.
It took only another couple hours before she was really close to having the baby. Poor Jane was worn out and exhausted by now, while Jake still looked freaked out.
He was bound to have bruises after she had pounded on him earlier for having to go and sit down for a moment to keep from passing out. Jake didn't leave her side again after that.
"Okay, we're gonna have a kid here in just a few seconds." the nurse told us.
"No, no, no. " Jane yelled out.
"Yes Jane. Almost." the doctor lightly chuckled.
Jake and I both had the exact same shocked look on our face as the baby came out.
"It's a girl." The nurse smiled, "Would you like to cut the cord?" she asked Jake.
"Umm No. I'm not going anywhere near it with something sharp, I already swore to this." Jake shrugged and backed away a little.
The nurse seemed confused, but let the doctor handle that part for him. After that was taken care of, the nurse took her away and over to two other nurses so they could look at her.
All of us turned and looked at eachother once she started to cry, because it was what all of us were waiting for. The nurses spent the next several minutes cleaning her up, checking her out and taking their measurements.
"I told you it was a girl, didn't I?" Jane looked up at Jake and said softly.
"That was not a girl, now way! I have seen plenty of chicks and that was, no way." Jake shook his head and Jane slapped him in the arm.
"Jake, shut up before I deck you." I warned him.
A few moments later, the nurse brought her back over to them, now all wrapped up, and looking less alien like for Jake.
"You can hold her for a moment, but we will have to take her back." The nurse said as she handed her to Jane, "Oh, and shes 5 pounds, 8 ounces. Just a little thing."
Jane kissed her on her forehead lightly before Jake started bouncing in place and holding out his arms.
"Shes not a damn puppy Jake." I laughed at his giddiness.
"Please Jake, I beg of you, do not drop her." Jane pleaded.
"I couldn't." Jake shook his head and carefully reached for her.
He held her in his arms more gently than I had ever seen him handle anything else before in his entire life. He swayed back and forth and was softly talking to her, all while leaning back down every so often to kiss Jane.
"Claire." Jake whispered to the baby girl.
Since Jacob and Jane hadn't wanted to know the gender of the baby, they hadn't really ever talked about a name, so I was curious when I heard him say Claire. I looked to Jane and she shook her head before looking at Jake.
"Babe, I love that name." Jane smiled up at him.
"I do too. It just came to me, she looks like a Claire." Jake shrugged as the nurse came back over to them and gestured for the baby.
I could tell Jake was very hesitant to give the woman baby Claire, but he had to and did so after placing a kiss on her cheek.
"We'll let you know as soon as possible how she's doing." The doctor said assuring as he followed the nurse out that was carrying Claire.
I hugged both Jake and Jane before running out to the waiting room and filing in everyone of the news. Emmett was leaning up against the far wall, Alice was still sitting in a char a few feet from him and Jasper was still pacing like an idiot.
"So?" Alice stood up and asked before I had barely made it through the doors.
"It's a.. girl! Shes so tiny, and perfect, and they had to take her back though." I rattled off, knowing I wouldn't get a word in edgewise with Alice ready to speak.
"Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh! Is Jane okay? Hell, is Jake alright? How much did she weight? Does she have dark hair like Jake, or blond like Janie? I hope dark, I need another brunette girl around with all you blonds. Ugh, when can we see her, and I wanna see Jane. Oh my gosh!"
"Breathe dammit." Emmett laughed.
"Jane seems to be doing fine, Jake too, and little Claire has dark hair Ally." I almost lost it with the look on her face, and braced myself for undoubtedly another barrage attack.
"Oh my gosh. Claire? They named her Claire? Oh I love it, and dark hair. This is the best day ever and I am gonna be the best Auntie ever."
"Slow down Ally." Jasper chuckled as he sat down next to her.
This is when Jacob walked through the double doors and came into the waiting room, sitting back down in the chair across from us like he had several hours earlier.
"We just heard everything, congratulations man. You're a dad!" Emmett boomed and patted Jake on the shoulder.
Jacob gave a small smiled before resting his head in his hands and letting out a sigh, "Jane is all worried. The doctor said Claire will probably have to stay here a week or so, just to make sure everything is fine."
"Jake, it'll be okay. Look at who her parents are? Both of you are fighters, and that little girl will be too." I told him and he nodded.
It was difficult to see Jake like this, truly scared. None of us had ever seen him act like this, and it definitely hit everyone hard.
"I'm gonna stay here, I guess Jane will be able to go home later in the day tomorrow. So I guess y'all should just head home, I mean you got school and everything. There's no sense in just waiting here." Jacob stood back up and told us.
"Alright man. Take care of Jane." Emmett told him before giving him a quick 'guy' hug.
"Both my girls man. I still can't believe it." Jake couldn't help but smile and shake his head at the thought of it.
"Believe it. Keep us all up to date. Anything happens, let us know, alright Jakey boy?" Alice told him just before she gave him a hug.
"I will. I'll let all you know how both of them are doing, definitely."
"And Jake, I promise no food talk if you ever need to ask about something that I may be able to help with." Jasper smirked and told Jacob.
"Deal." Jake shook his head but laughed lightly.
"Okay, my turn cuz." I held my arms open and Jake pulled me tight into his chest before lifting me up and off the ground slightly.
"Love ya Rosie. Keep you're phone close, 'cause you're gonna be my go to girl with babysitting duties." Jake chuckled and whispered in my ear.
"Sounds good to me." I looked up at him and said after he had set me down.
After we had all said goodbye to Jacob, he went back to the room Jane was in, while the rest of us left the hospital. Alice and I talked to Jasper and Emmett for a little while about everything before having to call it a night and say our own goodbyes to eachother.
Alice and I headed back to Forks, while the guys went back to their apartment. It was well past three in the morning at this point, and all of us had school bright and early in the morning.
"Hey Rosie." Alice tapped my on the leg after we had been quiet for the majority of the ride back home.
"Yeah?" I turned my head and answered.
"This weekend, we have to go shopping for baby clothes. Claire came too early and they have basically nothing ready for her." Alice explained.
"Any other situation I would say you were just trying to come up with any excuse to go to the mall, but that actually sounds like a good idea." I laughed.
"I thought so too. We can call up Jane and see if there's anything else we can get too."
"Sounds good. Now hush, I was almost asleep." I chuckled and rested my head back against the window like I was.
I must have fallen asleep, because the next thing I knew, I felt the car stop and we were home. I had to drag myself out of the car and walk over to Alice's side to wait for her to get out.
"What a night, huh Rosie posey?" Alice shut her car door and sighed.
"Oh yes. Our Jake and Jane are parents now, and it's by far the craziest thing imaginable." I chuckled.
"I agree. Now come here Auntie Rose." Alice smirked and pulled me into a hug, "Talk to you tomorrow girl."
"You too Auntie Alice. Awe, that does sound cute." I smiled.
"I know, don't it?"
We said goodnight to eachother and went inside our separate houses. My parents were obviously asleep, so I went straight to my room. If my Aunt Renee' hadn't already called up my mom to gush over the baby, I would have to fill both her and my and my dad in on everything in the morning.
At that point though, I was exhausted and fell onto my bed still wearing what I had on all day, and almost instantly drifted off to sleep.
A/N: Okay, so I wont sit here and tell you how much family drama I've had to deal with, or how I have been deathly ill for several weeks now or that my laptop hates my guts, all in the hopes that you will forgive me for being MIA like I have, 'cause that just wouldn't be cool of me to do.
But hell, it's the truth! lol. Yeah, life gets crazy sometimes and there's not a damn thing ya can do about it. So I hope you all understand and can forgive me?? Pweety Pwease wif a cherry on top? haha, and apparently I've lost my mind while I was gone too, this is just perfect. lol
Okay, so I can't promise with everything that's going on that I'll be able to update every other friggin' day like I use to, but I will try my best to get this story finished and jam out these last chapters. Pinky Promise!
And I'm terribly rusty with writing about our Emmy and Rose, so I'd love if you would lemme know how I did after all this time, I'm hoping I still got the knack for this writing thing. lol
XOXOXOXOXOX and extra XOXOXOXOXOX to make up for everything, oh and more XOXOXOXXOX to my sis for just being there!! ~ Kiwi
