In Which Stuff Continues To Happen That We Don't Care About
Jacob continues to patrol and send patrols. The Packs continue to converse with each other. Charlie and Renee have spoken to Bella, so that's moving somewhere.
In a nice moment, Rosalie makes Jacob a dog-dish that says FIDO on the side. It's funny. The fact that it is the highlight of the last few chapters makes me sad.
The baby is 4 days away. The vampires plan to try and get Charlie slightly informed in some roundabout way. Jacob thinks this is an idiotic idea. Jacob was the king of idiotic ideas until this book, so that's not a good sign.
We learn that Vampire babies claw their way out of their mothers. Of course, there's never been a vampire baby, so how do we know the sack/cage it's in doesn't crack open on it's own like an egg? Oh, they've been researching it. Guess Vampires have libraries somewhere with all the weird lore they've amassed. Rosalie informs us/them/whoever that no human mother has ever lived through the birth. So we have that to look forward to.
Also (HA!) they'll have to bite inward while the baby bites outward. Why the hell not.
SumUp F
This is a loose end chapter. We're dragging our way to the big double whammie of birth & vampirization and we've got to get all this crap situated beforehand. Meyer does this with her usual deft hand and subtle touch, by which I mean sledgehammer and spelling it out for us. I'm slipping into a funk, I can't bear this. I just don't care about any of this.
