Next message: Oh God. He pooped on himself. He looks sick. Gotta give him another bath.

Next message: Oh, Bella. Please help. He's driving us crazy!

The messages carried on in this fashion each more horrifying and guilt filling than the last. I had to get home to help. I explained to Edward and he drove us quickly home, weaving through traffic at fifteen miles over the speed limit.

We quickly parked and I ran to the house. Before I could even dig my key out, Alice answered the door. Her hair was going crazy, her make-up smeared, and she looked slightly deranged.

“Oh Bella. You're here.” she said, laughing like a crazy person.

I swear she belonged in an asylum sometimes.

She dragged us both in and my jaw dropped. Jake was running around yelping, dripping water everywhere, while Emmett was standing ready at the cage, Rosalie was laying in the hall to block access, and Jasper was chasing him around the front room with a towel.

Jake caught sight of me and immediately ran to hide behind me. Jasper threw me the towel and I picked him up. He immediately relaxed and everyone collapsed to the ground in exhausted heaps. Jake nuzzled into my neck, while I walked him over to his cage, dried him off, and put him in.

Emmett crawled over to where Rosalie was now relaxed in the hallway and Jasper and Alice had made it to the couch. They were soon snoring.

“Guess big surprises come in small packages.” I whispered to Edward, looking over at Jake's cage.
“Oh yes, more than you could ever know.” he whispered back cryptically.

We decided to just leave the others where they were. They were exhausted enough and deserved a break. Edward and I walked into my room and got ready for bed.

Thanksgiving with the families was in a little over a month, we had said our “I love yous” and I had gone to my first amazing concert with Edward. This was turning out to be a very interesting and exciting fall this year. Time was passing too quickly, but it was full of adventure and fun. I never wanted it to end.

A/N: Okay, so I was busy planning all week for the Halloween party I had last night and coming up with some fun new stories, but those won't be here for a while now. Hope you enjoyed the chapter. 11 entire pages. Jake is such a pain lol. Hope you liked the fluffy I love you's and all that jazz. Thanksgiving and explaining the night with Jake should happen next chapter. Maybe some more fluff and excitement for the characters as well. One last thing, Jasper has been changed again. I like the new one so much better. And we'll be meeting all the parents next chapter, so be on the lookout. You know what to do! R&R my loves! Thanks!
