Chapter Twenty, Pregnancy Surprise

Margot sat in the bathroom waiting for the timer on her phone to go off. She knew she couldn't possibly be pregnant but she also couldn't deny the signs she was exhibiting that were a replica to how she was when she was pregnant with Jayden. She was home alone as both Jasper and Paul were at work leaving her home alone with Jayden who would be waking up from his nap shortly, which was why she wanted the timer to go faster but also not at the same confusing time. As the tense silence filled the bathroom causing Margot's knee to bounce she couldn't help the thoughts that surged through her brain.

How would Jayden cope not being an only child anymore?
What would Paul and the others say? Would they support her?
What about her parents and the council?
What would Jasper say? Would he support her, like he did straight away with Jayden?
What about the Cullens? Edward would claim she had been unfaithful to Jasper!
The gossip mill would most definitely surge around Forks!

But she hadn't! The only person she has been with was Jasper. Her first time since the rape was a month ago when she and Jasper and consummated their mate bond. And every time since then has been with Jasper, and Jasper only! But would they believe her?
Poor Rosalie, everyone thought vampires couldn't procreate. Was it because they were mates and she was a shifter?

Or was it only the males that could procreate? Maybe the vampire venom acts like menopause and stops the women from ovulating and therefore procreating? She didn't know. It was then that another thought came to her brain: how would her body handle a hybrid baby? She knew she would love her baby immediately much like she did with Jayden, but would there be a strain on her body?

The obnoxious ringtone of the timer pulled Margot out of her spiralling thoughts. Taking a deep breath she turned off the timer and stood from the floor, grabbing the tests off of the sink (she wanted to make sure and brought two different Clearblue tests, one that would tell her how many weeks she was and one that just said whether she was pregnant or not). With another deep breath to soothe her and regulate her breathing, Margot turned the two tests over:
Pregnant 3-4 weeks
Pregnant.
Is what both tests read leaving Margot with a small smile on her lips but was left with a turbulent amount of emotions as she wondered how she would tell everyone but particularly Jasper and Paul. The two of the most important people in her life besides her son and now this baby.

To get ideas while she waited for Jayden to wake up, she sat on the sofa sipping on a cup of honey tea as she scrolled through Pinterest, until several pictures jumped out at her. Loading up Etsy she found what she was looking for. Two custom items for Paul: a baby bodysuit that read, 'The best brothers get promoted to uncle', and a black T-shirt for Paul that read, 'Promoted to Uncle est 2020. Again.' For her little man she found a white T-shirt that read, 'Promoted to big brother February 2020', and finally for her parents and Esme and Carlisle she found two pairs of baby booties in nude and green that was in a cute little box with a card attached to the inside lid reading, 'Our family has grown by two feet and one heartbeat. You're hiring to be grandparents.'

Happy with her purchases she brought them just in time to receive a phone call from Chief Swan.
"Hello?" Margot questioned, getting up as the baby monitor on the coffee table lit up signalling Jayden was awake.
"Hi Margot, it's Charlie. Did I catch you at the wrong time?" Charlie asked, hearing Jayden calling for her through the phone.
"Hi Chief. No, it's fine Jay's just woke up from his nap. What can I do for you?"
"My daughter is finally moving back to Forks and I was wondering...if it's not too much trouble if you could help me make her room fit for a seventeen year old. She hasn't been here since she was twelve. I'll paint and wallpaper it and I'll give you money for everything or come with you if it's my day off, but I have no idea what to get for her room." Charlie rambled. Margot could hear both the excitement and the stress in his voice.

"Of course I'll help, Charlie." Margot immediately agreed. She smiled at Jayden as she kissed his forehead as she picked him up, expertly changing his pull-up nappy into a fresh one with her phone lodged between her ear and shoulder before she took him back down for some water and a fruit snack. Confirming with Charlie on his daughter's - Isabella's - favourite colour(s) and anything else she may want/like in her bedroom. From what Charlie told her, his daughter just liked to stay in and read and didn't really have a favourite colour so Margot decided on a neutral colour scheme with some purple bedding for a bit of colour, with a hanging chair to read.

"Those sound great, Margot. Thank you so much." Charlie thanked her relieved after she explained her choices.
"You're welcome Charlie. Jay and I will stop by yours to pick you up on the way to Port Angeles as I need to get some things anyway." Margot told him as she got herself and Jayden ready.
"Perfect, I'll see you soon. Thank you again." Charlie bid his goodbyes.
"Bye Charlie." Margot said as she hung up.

"Jay, how do you feel about being a big brother?" Margot asked cautiously.
"Brother?" Jayden asked curiously, head tilted cutely to the side.
"Yes Jay. You're going to be a big brother just like Uncle Paul is my big brother. To your baby brother or sister." Margot rested her hand on her still flat stomach to explain what she meant.
"I'm best big brother." Jayden exclaimed happily.
"Yes you are baby." Margot agreed, hugging her son, running a hand through his hair.

Margot waited nervously in the kitchen with a blackboard on the kitchen counter that read, 'I've got the scoop Mummy's due with baby #2' with Jayden sitting beside it eating an ice cream as she heard Jasper and Paul return home calling out for her and Jayden.
"We're in the kitchen." Margot called. There must have been a scared and anxious tone to her voice as the next second Paul and Jasper came running into the kitchen looking around for anything that could have caused her to sound so scared and nervous. When they noticed there was no one in the kitchen besides herself and Jayden they relaxed a little bit until they saw the sign beside Jayden who was happily munching on his ice cream.
"I'm big brother now, like unca Paulie!" Jayden exclaimed happily looking up at his Dad and uncle with chocolate ice cream all over his face.

"Surprise." Margot whispered nervously, fiddling with her fingers. "The baby's yours Jasper I swear it! I know Edward would claim otherwise but there's been no one else. You were my first since...since I was.." Margot trailed off as Paul wrapped his arms around her running his hands through her hair calming her down and making her feel safe and secure.
"Shh Marlie." Paul soothed. "Anyone who claims otherwise are clearly idiots and don't know you very well. Congratulations. Little man that means you have to look after your Mummy and be a good boy and look after your baby brother or sister." Paul told Jayden seriously who immediately nodded his head rapidly. Margot looked to Jasper who came out of his shock with a wide grin on his face as he pulled Margot out of Paul's arms and into his own for a passionate kiss.

"Paul's right, darlin', this is a blessing and I'll love them just as much as I love you and Jayden. Thank you." Jasper whispered against her lips. "Besides, Edward is a moron and you don't need to worry about him. But I do want Carlisle to come over and check on you and the baby if that's alright? Make sure the baby is developing properly. I love you." Jasper added.
"Okay, and I love you too, Jasper." Margot whispered, relishing the hug as all of the tension bled out of her as she snuggled into Jasper's chest.

Later that night after Jayden had been put to bed, Carlisle was using an ultrasound machine on Margot's stomach as she laid on the sofa with both Paul and Jasper standing behind her holding her hands in support.
"Well, it appears that this little baby is growing at the normal pace which could mean the baby has more shifter in them, has a healing gift or both." Carlisle stated, as he turned the screen around to face the trio with a wide happy smile on his face. "Congratulations you two. It looks like I have another grandchild." He beamed at him, earning three beaming smiles back at him.
