A Twilight fanfiction novel - SheeWolf85

“Yeah?”
“Jake?” Renesmee said, holding the phone to her ear.
The sound of her voice so fragile made his stomach churn. “Hey, Ness. I’m sorry I didn’t call back
last night; I got home really late.”
She sniffled and coughed. “It’s okay. I’m afraid I have to cancel our walk today. I’m a lot sicker than
I thought I was. I’m sorry.” A wave of dizziness made her whimper and sit back against the couch.
Worry flared in Jacob’s chest at her whimper. He took a deep breath. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I think I’ll be all right. I’ve just got to get over this.”
His jaw clenched. He already knew he wasn’t going to let her wait out her sickness alone. “All right.
Feel better, baby. Would you like some company?”
She closed her eyes. “I don’t want to get you sick.”
He huffed. “I have an immune system like you wouldn’t believe. Can I come over?”
She wanted to see him so badly, but she looked like hell and probably smelled worse. “I don’t know,
Jake . . .”
“Please?”
She figured it couldn’t hurt to just see him for a few minutes. “Yeah, I guess. I look gross, though.”
“You’re beautiful, just like always. I love you. I’ll head out soon. I just have to do something first.”
She smiled to herself. “Okay.”
They hung up, and he started to think of things that made a human feel better when they were sick.
He personally had not been sick in nearly fifteen years; he couldn’t remember what he liked. The
only humans he spent any length of time with were Billy, Claire, and Seth’s parents. Billy was a
grumpy jackass when he was sick, preferring to be left alone to wallow in his misery until he felt
better. Claire, on the other hand . . .
Jacob ran out of the house to visit Quil. He pounded on the door and waited.
Quil came to the door half in alarm and half in annoyance. He knew already it was Jacob and that it
wasn’t a pack emergency. If it had been, he would have howled. “What’s going on?”
“What does Claire like when she’s sick?” Jacob demanded.
Quil shrugged. “I dunno. Soup, I guess. Why? Ness still sick?”
Jacob nodded. “Yeah. She threw up a bunch last night. It sounded painful. I don’t know what to do
for her.” He rubbed the back of his neck and sighed.
