ALSO A NOTE: I know that vampires do not need sleep, but it was for the sake of the cute moment in the story, that the two fell asleep together.

<----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

The sound of the gentle breeze, from outside, echoed through the deserted manor.  No one was inside but a five month pregnant, Jacob Black, who looked much bigger than five months into his pregnancy.  He waddled through the empty house, one hand resting on his stomach, trying to find something to do until his mate, Edward Cullen, and the rest of the Cullen Clan would return.

It’s not that Jacob wasn’t used to being alone at times.  It was just, that this was the first time that he had spent the day alone in the Cullen Manor since he had announced his pregnancy to the unsuspecting vampires.  The silence was almost eerie, despite the serene, forest landscape that was visible through the large window in the lounge.

Jacob lowered himself into his recliner with a loud grunt, the added weight from his large pregnancy making even the smallest movements seem almost impossible.  He still wondered why he was growing so large, but had not yet had the opportunity to have a check in with Carlisle about the matter.  He assumed it was because he was carrying a large litter, but the joy that came with the thought of having multiples also came with dread when realization set in that he would eventually have to deliver however many pups that he was carrying.

“Just, please, don’t be more than five in there.” He whispered, to his large stomach, the pups kicking and squirming in response to their mother’s voice, causing Jacob joy and some slight discomfort as they managed to hit his bladder a few, good times.

“Talking to yourself again, are we?” Came the voice of Edward, Jacob’s mate, from behind him, a small smirk across his toned, pale face.  The vampire walked over to where Jacob was sitting and knelt on the floor next to him, the smirk now a smile, as he placed a cold hand on Jacob’s squirming stomach, the pups immediately calming at their father’s touch.

“Screw you.” Jacob teased, brushing his free hand through the vampire’s copper-toned hair with a playful laugh.

“And how are my beautiful mate, and pups doing?” Edward asked, kissing Jacob briefly before returning to rubbing small circles around his mate’s stomach, not able to help noticing that it was protruding slightly from under the shirt he was wearing.

“I feel like a whale, if that’s what you mean… I weighed myself this morning, 214 pounds.  I’ve gained 54 pounds, and I’ve still got four months to go.  Not to mention, that nothing fits me anymore and I absolutely refuse to wear women’s maternity clothes!” The werewolf’s voice raised slightly, irritated by his weight gain and Edward’s laughing as a reaction.  He slapped his mate across the face with a stern and warning look.

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t help it, because you look beautiful, no matter how much you weigh, or what you wear.  I love you, and our pups, because you’re you.” He said, laying his head on Jacob’s stomach, listening for the heart beats of the pups with his sensitive hearing, tears forming in his eyes when he heard the little sounds.

Jacob lifted Edward’s head away from his stomach and rested both of his hands on the vampire’s defined cheeks, looking into his eyes with love.  He kissed the vampire passionately, letting his fingers become tangled in his hair.  Edward moaned in response, twining his arms around Jacob’s neck, not even caring about Jacob’s large pregnancy between them.  The two kissed non-stop for what seemed like five minutes, but when the two looked outside, it was already dark.

“How… How long were we…?” Jacob’s face turned bright red as he blushed in shock from how long they had been kissing, completely forgetting about the time.

“Three hours, tops.” The vampire said, matter-of-factly, before offering his hand to his heavily pregnant mate.

Jacob took Edward’s hand and allowed the vampire to pull him up, grunting loudly as he struggled to find his balance with all of the added weight, from the pregnancy, pulling him forward.  He couldn’t even imagine how hard it would be for him to get up and sit down towards the end of his pregnancy.  But, for right now, he preferred not to think about it.  He instead put his hand in Edward’s, their fingers locking together as the two walked, Jacob waddling, to their bedroom in the back of the manor.

Jacob always felt like the world was right when he held Edward’s hand, and this couldn’t be more true as his loving mate helped him onto the bed, as well as with removing his shirt, sweatpants, and boxers so that he was completely nude, just like he had become used to sleeping in the past three months of his pregnancy, his body creating so much heat, that he found wearing clothes too constricting on him and the pups.

“Good night, my love.” Edward whispered, softly, as he laid down on the bed next to his heavily, pregnant mate, allowing the werewolf to wrap his body around him, almost like a body pillow, so he could find a comfortable position to sleep, despite the huge amount of extra weight he was carrying.

“Good night, dearest.” Jacob whispered in response, finally getting into a comfortable position on his side, his stomach on Edward, his arms across the vampire’s body, and their hands locked together as they drifted off into a peaceful sleep, Edward not bothered even the slightest by his mate’s stomach on him.  It made sleep come easier, having both his mate and their unborn pups so close to him.
