Emmett's Precious Jewel
Chapter 11
AN: This is a shorter chapter but it is very important with the plot of this story. I’m hoping to have chapter 12 up soon.
Jule’s POV:
As it turned out I was in for a rough six weeks, and I figured that out after just one more week. I had several broken ribs, a completely broken Pelvis, All I could do was lay around and I was huge! I supposedly had five more weeks to go according to Bella’s pregnancy, but Carlisle wasn’t convinced. I was being measured for the 5th time today, because I was growing so rapidly. Finally Carlisle sighed, “Jule, I don’t think you have five more weeks of this, I would assume by your rate of growth you have something closer to two weeks.” I smiled, “I think I can handle two more weeks.” I rubbed my stomach, “Yeah we can do it.” Carlisle looked a little upset so I asked him if he was alright. He smiled at me but it was a sad smile, "I'm just trying to figure out why your pregnancy is so different from Bella's. I just can't figure it out. My only theory is that you became pregnant earlier than we thought, but that still doesn't completely explain how far along you seem to be." He shook his head, "I'm sure we will be given answers in time."
Just then Rosalie came downstairs. She had been around the family more. She was actually helping us with a lot of things lately. She helped plan the wedding that Emmett and I had scheduled a few months after the baby was born. Hopefully some of the newborn in me would be calm by then. She helped Alice baby shop online. She even helped everyone guard my grandmother. That was the idea Emmett had gotten., he asked Carlisle if they could take shifts just in case my grandmother was in danger. It made me feel so much better.
Rosalie came over and sat on the couch with me. “So two more weeks Jule, how does that make you feel?” I chuckled, “Let’s see, nervous, terrified, yeah that about covers it.” She smiled at me, “You know, I really think you guys need to decide on names, just in case it’s sooner than we think. We don’t want to have to call him or her baby for the first few days of life while your changing.” Jule’s eyes got big, “OH that’s right, you guys don’t know, well even Emmett doesn’t know one of them.” By this time everyone in the family was standing in the room. “OK, if it’s a girl, Sapphire Marie. Emmett said he wanted to Jewels in his life, and Marie is obviously for Bella and my grandmother.” Bella smiled a huge smile at us both. Emmett piped in OK, so we know if by some chance it’s a boy he will be Emmett junior, no reason to pretend otherwise.” I laughed and rubbed his arm, “Sorry hun, that is so not happening. If it’s a boy his name will be Liam Macale.” Everyone smiled. I was waiting for the obvious question to pop up. It was Jasper who asked, “So what’s with Macale?” I laughed, I’m glad you asked, It’s Masen and Hale put together. After Edward and Rosalie, and technically you Jasper. Sorry, but I couldn’t figure Whitlock into it.” He smiled, so did Edward and especially Rosalie, “I love it thanks Jule.” They all piped in and said how great it was. Emmet of course had to get his two cents in, “Well, I guess it’s an OK name, but I still like Emmett Junior, but that’s ok because that’s my little Sapphire in there anyway.” I smiled warmly at him, he started showing me his constant joking side awhile ago, and I loved it, so did the baby, it always moved around like crazy at Emmett’s voice, and oddly, at Rosalie’s too. She got a kick out of talking to my stomach and watching the baby go crazy at her voice. Although the last time she was talking to my belly, the baby was moving like never before and Rosalie laughed, that laugh was when I got my broken pelvis, so she was much more careful now. I was very happy that she was close to the baby even now, so when it was born I knew things would be perfect.
Emmett’s POV:
I was so excited about the baby coming I could barely keep the smile of my face. Of course that was not the case when Jule was getting a broken bone from it. That part was killing me. I hated to see her in pain. She was so incredible about the whole thing, just like Bella had been when she was pregnant. Jule was completely understanding, and always told the baby how sorry she was that it didn't have enough room to grow. Edward told us the baby was as advanced in its thinking as Renesmee had been, so the baby understood that moving too much did hurt Jule. We noticed after we explained that to the baby, even when Rosalie was talking, it moved around a lot less. As I was sitting next to Jule talking to the baby as usual, Esme walked in. "It's done! Jule, do you think if Emmett carries you, that you would feel up to seeing your gift?" Jule smiled, "gift, yeah I think we are always up for seeing a gift." I laughed, Jule was incredible. Always happy, just like me, and she could keep up with me and all my pranks. We worked very well together. Esme smiled, "alright come on, follow me." I picked Jule up as gently as I could and followed Esme outside. She said it wasn’t far but it would be faster if we ran. So I held Jule out in front of me so she wouldn’t be jostled around too much and ran close behind my mother. Then we stopped in front of a gigantic house. It looked identical to the house in Seattle that Jule and I had shared, only three times as large. “Welcome home you three.” I looked over at Esme with my mouth hanging open. Jule found her voice first, “Home? This is our gift? Your built us a house?!” Esme smiled at her, “Well I know you two need your own space with the baby coming. I knew you liked the house in Seattle, but I thought it would be nice for you to be as close to us as Edward and Bella. I hope that’s alright.” I opened my mouth to answer but I didn’t get a word out. Jule was bouncing in my arms, “Oh Esme, it’s incredible and of course it’s alright. I am so happy to be this close to everyone. It’s perfect. Thank you.” Esme beamed with pride, “I am so glad you like it, I would take you inside for the tour, but not all the furniture had arrived. So I am afraid that will have to wait until after the baby comes.“ I finally found my voice, “ Wow, thank you so much, this is so great. It’s huge. I love it. Esme your amazing! Thank you.“ Esme smiled at me, “OK, enough of this. Get this girl back to the big house so she can get comfortable.” I got serious real fast. I gave a quick nod and began running with the love of my life back to the main house. When we got to the big house everyone started doing something to stay occupied, Jasper and I started playing Madden against each other as usual. Alice and Rosalie were on the computer baby shopping, again. Edward was playing the piano for Renesmee. Carlisle and Esme went out to hunt, and spend some quality time alone. I looked at Jule who was deep in conversation with Bella. They were always together talking and comparing pregnancies. I was so glad that they got along. To be honest, everyone got along. It was incredible, I couldn’t be happier. Well, maybe I could, I would be happier when the baby was here and Jule was done changing, so that I would have my entire family together.
Carlisle’s POV:
Esme and I were out hunting and generally just enjoying one another’s company. I was watching her drain the blood from a huge buck she had just caught when my cell phone began vibrating in my pocket. I looked at the number and it came up private. No name or number so I decided to let it go to voicemail. Anyone who had my number would know to leave some sort of message. Just as I was finishing my kill I felt the small vibration that told me I did indeed have a message. Esme looked at me questioningly and I just shrugged and dialed in the password for my voicemail. As I listened to the very long message, I could only imagine what my face looked like to Esme, who was looking at me with curious eyes. I slowly took my phone from my ear and sighed. “Well my love this will either be very good news, or very bad news. That was one of our nomad friends, Lee, he got our message about keeping an ear out for Jule’s mom, and he had an answer for us. He said he came across another nomad, Alexander and his mate Elizabeth, who fit’s Jule’s mother’s description. They are staying in a small cabin up on the mountain outside of Forks. Apparently they hunt far enough away that they can live here peacefully. I would assume that is why she visits Jule so often, and knows about Emmett and our family. He gave me a good enough description that I think the boys and I could easily find her. I think it’s time to go talk to Jule and Emmett, we need to know if they want us to find her before or after the baby comes.” Esme just quietly listened to me and then nodded her head in agreement. “Let’s go home.”
