~Chapter Ten~
Intimacy
“How are you feeling?” Jacob asked when Renesmee woke the next morning.
She shrugged weakly. “I don’t know. I think maybe a little better.” Her head and chest felt clearer,
but she was still dizzy.
He helped her sit up. She propped the stuffed monkey against the back of the couch and stood up.
She held Jacob’s arm as she walked to the bathroom. Like before, he waited outside for her. As he
listened to anything but her, he thought about how good it had felt to hold her in his arms all night
and wake up next to her. It was something he wanted to repeat every night and morning for the rest
of his life.
Alice and Jasper had done what they said they’d do and checked on Renesmee several times during
the night. It woke him up each time, but he pretended he didn’t hear them.
When Renesmee was finished, he helped her to the kitchen table. Alice and Jasper were already
awake. Jasper was at the table with a cup of coffee, and Alice was in the kitchen pouring herself a
cup.
“Good morning,” Alice said happily. “How are you feeling, sweetie?”
Renesmee shrugged and leaned against the table. Jacob sat beside her and pulled her onto his lap.
“I don’t know yet. My stomach isn’t turning.”
Alice sat next to Jasper. “Are you hungry at all?”
Renesmee shook her head. “No.”
Jacob rubbed her arms. “You should at least try to drink something so you don’t get dehydrated.”
He kissed her shoulder.
“He’s right.” Alice nodded. “Would you like some tea?”
“I don’t think I can drink anymore tea. Maybe some Sprite?” She leaned back against Jacob and
sighed. “Or maybe some really strong whiskey.”
Jasper snorted. “Not while you’re sick. If you think throwing up was bad before, you have no idea
how bad whiskey can be on an already upset stomach.”
Renesmee laughed which led to a cough. “I was only mostly joking.”
Alice set a glass of Sprite in front of her niece. “Jasper wasn’t. Have you ever had alcohol?”
