Chapter 27: Let's Go Surfing
Renesmee POV:
Jake and I practically made love all night, certainly something I could look forward to in our married life. I woke up pretty early this morning next to Jake's naked body. He looked so relaxed that I didn't want to bother him. I got out of the bed carefully not to wake him and grabbed a robe to put on. My tummy started to growl and I thanked the food god that our suite's fridge was well stocked.
I closed the door to our bedroom before walking into the kitchen. My tastes buds were screaming for some Belgian waffles so I got to work. I connected my phone to Jake's Bluetooth speaker and played 'Sonsick' by San Fermin. I hummed along to the tune while I mixed the batter together and I then added some chocolate chips into it, I had a sweet tooth today. I pulled out the waffle maker from one of the cabinets and poured some of the batter into it before shutting it and going right back to the fridge. I saw some pink lemonade and poured myself a glass before taking out a package of strawberries. I figured it would add something good to the waffles.
I cut the strawberries in thin slices and put a few into my glass of lemonade. I'd save the rest to put on top of the Belgian waffles along with powdered sugar and maple syrup. I hardly noticed when Jake snuck up behind me and wrapped his arms around me.
"Morning, sweetie." I turned my head slightly to kiss his cheek.
"I thought you didn't like fruit that much." he said as he inhaled my scent.
"I thought so too, they smell pretty good to me right now." I plopped a strawberry into my mouth."
"You kinda smell different, probably because of all the sugar you're cooking up." Jake also grabbed a strawberry.
I turned around and looked up at Jacob, "I'm making Belgian waffles with chocolate chips today. I woke up pretty hungry, surprisingly."
"That sounds delicious, honey."
I smiled at him and pulled his face down for a kiss. He tasted like strawberries and mint. He must've brushed his teeth when he woke up. The timer for the waffles went off and I got our plates ready. I served Jake his masterpiece and joined him with my own in the living room. I drenched my waffles in syrup and butter, it tasted heavenly. I'll definitely have to make this once I get back home in Alaska. When I finished my plate, I looked at Jake who looked at me on awe.
"What?"
"I didn't think you'd eat even half of it. The only sweets you like are from that coffee shop and the cookies Esme bakes for you." Jake took my empty plate from me and walked over to the kitchen to put it in the sink.
"Well you can add that to the list of sweets I like." I giggled, "We need to get ready, we have our first surf class in an hour."
We figured we'd take a shower after surf class since we'd smell like the ocean and then take a trip to the Santa Monica pier. I've seen plenty of pictures of the Ferris wheel there that I actually want to go on it, with Jake of course. That would be pretty romantic. I also wanted to go on a few other rides, I've never been on any rides now that I think about it. I'm sure it'll be plenty of fun.
Jake looked so damn hot wearing his plain black swim trunks and a pair of scandals. I'll have to shield him from girls with wandering eyes for sure. I settled on wearing red and white polka dot bikini with a pair of flip flops. I made sure to bring sunscreen and a couple of towels along with us so we can be protected from the sun rays and to dry off quickly after the class.
I placed everything we would need in a tote before turning around and immediately being met with Jacob's lips. It really took me by surprise, but I kissed him back nonetheless. We kept it short since he did take my breath away and he traced his thumb across my bottom lip.
"You look so sexy." he breathed out.
"So do you." I bit my lip, "I don't want anyone but me to see this."
I brushed my lips over his before he kissed me again, this time more softly. I parted my lips for him and he slid his tongue into my mouth. We stayed like this for few moments before I pulled away. I didn't want to start anything we wouldn't be able to finish.
"Mmm, I can't wait to have to all to myself. We have a surfing class to attend." I drummed my fingers on his chest.
"Gosh, you're a tease. But this surf class sounds pretty cool." Jake groaned before giving me a quick kiss, "Let's get going."
I nodded in agreement and followed him outside of Oceana Santa Monica to the red Corvette. I plugged my phone into the aux cord and went through my music. I was in an Arctic Monkeys type of mood so I played 'Teddy Picker'. I loved the way the sun felt on my skin, there wasn't enough of that in Alaska. It was barely warm up there. Jake found a parking place and we walked together to the beach. We immediately spotted our surfing instructor, Brett.
I made sure both Jake and I were lathered up in sunscreen before I set my tote down and got in the cool water. I was positive that I couldn't get sunburnt but I'm not the one to take that chance. Brett showed Jake and I the basics. It seemed pretty simple enough steps to follow and I'm sure it would be a breeze since I am partially vampire. Brett told us to wait into the next wave forms before paddling towards it.
It didn't take long for another one to form. I paddled behind Jake and quickly stood up on the surfboard as soon as we met the wave. It was perfect for beginners like us. I loved how the salt water feels in my curly locks the experience itself was exhilarating. Brett gave us a few more pointers before he let Jake and I roam free.
"He was totally checking you out." Jake rolled his eyes as Brett walked away from us.
"Was not!" I scoffed.
"You just didn't notice, Ness."
"Jake, are you.... jealous?" I smirked.
"Me? Jealous?" Jake pointed at himself, "Not a chance."
I giggled as I got off my surfboard and onto Jake's. He probably saw something I didn't, but the only man I'll ever see that way is him. I smiled at him as I brushed the short wet strands of his hair off his face. I hoped that at least one of our children will be blessed with his beautiful dark hair.
"I married you, Jacob. And you're the only one I love, who gives a damn about how everyone else sees us." I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"You're right." he pecked my lips, "Wanna go to the pier now.
I pressed my lips together and nodded. We paddled back to the shore and I grabbed my tote so I could get our towels. I handed Jake a tan one and I dried myself off with a striped blue towel. My hair wasn't completely dried so I pulled my hair up and formed a messy bun. Jake pulled me close to him and kissed the spot behind my ear, I couldn't help but smile a little. I love it when he's affectionate.
"You still smell so sweet." he whispered in my ear, "I like it."
"Speaking of sweets, do you think they'll have ice cream at the pier?" I looked up at Jake who was looking back at me with a weird expression.
"I'm sure they do, Nessie. You have a strange appetite today." Jake draped an arm over me as we walked back to the Corvette.
He was right about that. My appetite was weird, at least for someone like me. What's even more strange is that I went hunting before we went to Nebraska for the wedding and I'm already starting to feel thirsty again. It couldn't happen that fast, could it? I could just be freaking out and it could be nothing. I'll just leave it alone and enjoy this honeymoon and have a great time at Rachel's baby shower. If it happens, it happens. It's not like Jake and I were doing anything to stop it and this is what we wanted.
As soon as Jake and I got in the car he turned towards me and held my hand. I knew he was thinking exactly what I was thinking, he picked up on my change before I did.
"Nessie, everything will be okay." he reassured me, "If you want to know for sure, we could pick up a test before we get on the plane to Washington."
"I just don't want to give myself false hope." I bit my lip, "Rebecca told me about the hard time she had getting pregnant and how she had to toughen up her heart. I don't want to just think that all these sudden changes could mean something that might not be there."
"Even when Becca and Solomon had their troubles with conceiving, they ended up with two miracles." Jake rubbed my fingers with his thumb, "You'll get your miracle."
I nodded and smiled at Jake. He always knows how to make me feel better when I start to doubt myself. I leaned over to give him a kiss before he sped off towards the pier. The first thing that caught my eye was the big Ferris wheel. It's just as beautiful as it looked in the pictures. The line was short, thank goodness, so Jake and I got in there immediately.
We got the perfect view of the Pacific Ocean and the rest of Santa Monica throughout the ride. Jake and I only paid attention the first cycle and spent the rest of the time being the cheesy romantics that we are. I definitely give the Ferris wheel a five star rating. The next ride we went on got one star for me, it made my stomach churn and I lost the ice cream I had while waiting in line. Jake felt so guilty about it as he rubbed my back, but I was fine after the great hurl. He insisted I needed to cool off and we went back to the hotel.
I got sick on and off for the rest of our trip here in Santa Monica, but Jake and I still had fun. We went surfing again, got plenty of souvenirs, and went to amazing restaurants. My favorite part of this honeymoon was being with Jacob, my husband. I love and appreciate that he pampered me all week and really made this trip all about us. As promised, we picked up a pregnancy test at the airport before boarding our plane. We decided we'd take the test once we get to Billy's house so we could all find out together. I texted Alixe to try to see the results for me since the suspense is killing me but she said it wouldn't be fair to the rest of my family. I guess she has a point. Rebecca and Rachel were so excited when I told them what's going on and then they both started getting teary when they thought about their baby brother having the chance of being a father.
Jake and I sat by the emergency exit this time. We felt like it would be safest for us this trip since we could possibly have another little passenger on board with us. I suddenly realized how weird I looked carrying the pregnancy test kit and shoved the box in my Louis Vuitton purse. I was really feeling exhausted and anxious at the same time, the only thing keeping me sane at this moment was Jacob. Taking off was easy and when we were given the clear, I took off my seat belt and scooted closer to Jacob. He wrapped his arm around me and kissed my nose, I easily drifted off to sleep.
Jake woke me up and I saw as everyone grabbed their suitcases. Did I really sleep that long? Jacob helped me out of my seat and grabbed our luggage. I was happy that Washington's weather was cool, I don't think I could stand anymore heat unless it came from Jake. I was overjoyed to see Rebecca and Rachel in the front of the airport. We did a big group hug before one of Rachel's babies started to kick.
"I missed you too, little cuties." I laughed as I rubbed Rachel's bump.
"We need to hurry up and get back home, the suspense is killing us!" Rebecca nearly squealed.
I couldn't blame them, the suspense was killing me too. Jake threw our luggage in the trunk before we all piled in the car and drove back to Forks. Rachel's baby shower will be tomorrow at Billy's and the boys stayed back to get the decorations ready. I was really excited to see everybody, they truly felt like a second family to me. The ride to Billy's house was pretty fun. It was funny when Rachel made Jake sing an old Nirvana song with her. He was a little embarrassed I could tell he liked doing it. Dinner was ready when we arrived at the house, the scent immediately told me that it was some yummy smothered pork chops.
"Renesmee, happy you're here with us." Billy greeted me.
I gave him a hug and smiled, "I wouldn't miss this."
"Daddy, the Caesar salad better take up half your plate." Rachel said as she helped herself to a plate.
"Paul and Solomon wouldn't let me have any less, Rach." Billy rolled his eyes.
I turned to Jake and took in a deep breath. He knew exactly what I was thinking and he held onto my hand. There was no need in keeping everyone else waiting besides the five minutes it would take to get the results. Jacob led me to the bathroom and shut the door behind us. I dug through my purse and found the test kit before I carefully opened it. I handed the box to Jacob before I shrugged my pants down and sat my behind on the toilet.
"Rules are simple. Pee on the stick, wait five minutes, and the answer will either say 'yes' or 'no'." Jake read off the box.
I did my business before putting the cap right back on. This would be the longest five minutes of my life. With a shaky hand, I placed the stick on the counter and washed my hands. Jake rubbed the small of my back and I heard his breath get a bit uneven.
"It's okay to be nervous, Jake. I'm practically freaking out." I hugged him, "Let's join everybody, they'll get worried if we stayed here for too long."
Jake nodded in agreement and he opened up the door. I grabbed the stick off the counter and followed Jake back into the living room. I sat down with Blake and Abe and watched their cartoon with them. I think it was called Adventure Time or something like that. Jake asked if I wanted him to get my plate for me but I politely declined. I was too anxious to eat, once I figure out if I am pregnant or not I'll help myself to a plate. Jake came back not too long after with his smothered pork chop and salad and sat on the sofa with me. He fed me a few bites to keep my mind off the stick of fate. It tasted pretty good though I would prefer the pork a little on the rare side. Adventure Time went on commercial and I decided that now should be a good time to look at the results. I held onto Jake's hand and took in a big deep breath. I raised the stick up eye level and slowly opened my eyes.
Yes.
Yes! It says yes! I'm going to be a mother and Jake is going to be a father. I'm carrying Jake's child!
"Oh my gosh!" I said tearfully as I hopped onto Jacob's lap, "I can't believe it!"
"Oh, Nessie I love you so much!" Jake hugged me tightly as he set his plate down on the coffee table.
"Auntie Ren why are you crying?" Abe asked me.
"I'm happy, Abe! Your Uncle Jake and I are going to have a baby!"
"Like Auntie Ray?" Blake asked.
"You bet kiddo." Jake chuckled.
Jake's sisters, Paul, Solomon, and Billy all gathered around us to congratulate us. Of course, Rachel got emotional all thanks to her pregnancy hormones. I couldn't wait to experience this new chapter in my life with Jacob. This baby would be the most loved baby on the planet no doubt.
That night I slept in Jake's old room with him and watched as he talked to our unborn son or daughter. A lot of women may say this, but I am the luckiest woman in the world.
A/N: You'll get more POVs in the next chapter, just wanted this to be a special moment for Nessie. Rachel's baby shower is tomorrow so please leave any last minute baby names in the review section. Until next time friends.
