A/N: Hey! This is my first story on this site so I hope you like it! This story starts out in the time of New Moon but goes in a different direction. Therefore, there are a few things I need to explain. For starters, Edward left in July, not September. Bella is still 17. The characters are a little out of character because of the different circumstances. Part of what makes a person is what they've been through and in this story each character goes through different things so don't be upset or surprised if they are OOC because you've been warned. ;) I would like to thank my sister, NarnianPrincess1992, for encouraging me to post this story or any story for that matter. You're the best!

So anyway, like I said, it's my first fan fic story so please let me know what you think and I hope you enjoy.

Chapter one: I Could Never Hate You

Jacob's POV.

Bella, my best friend, was heartbroken. That Edward Cullen left her and even though she's been hanging out with me for the last month, she can't hide the fact that she will never be the same. I want to be more for her than he could have ever been. But she won't let me in.

"Jake, why are you looking at me?" she asked as she noticed my staring.

"Sorry." was all I said as I looked away.

There was a moment of silence as I tried to focus and she toyed with one of the screwdrivers where the mood changed. It was almost as if the room suddenly got dimmer or something. Then she spoke.

"I don't think I'm going to get to ride these when we're done." she whispered as I continued to work on one of the bikes she had shown up with a month ago.

"What do you mean? Why not?" I asked.

"Jacob," she whispered. That wasn't good. She never called me that anymore.

I stopped and looked at her. "What is it Bells?" I asked. I was worried. This didn't sound good and the look on her face only enforced that notion. She looked sad and scared. Tears were starting to form in her beautiful brown eyes. I stood up and went over to her. I was taller than her so now she had to look up at me. But she didn't. She just looked at her feet.

"Bella, what is it? What's the matter?" I asked as I took her hand.

"I'm…" she stopped. I waited patiently for her to continue. My heart and her heart were both racing. I didn't even think about how strange it was that I could hear her heartbeat. I was too focused on her. I loved her and I wanted her to be okay. "I don't think I can do this alone." she whispered as the first tear fell from her eye.

I wiped it away and got her to look at me by gently bringing her chin up. She tried not to look me in the eyes but eventually, she had to.

"You aren't alone. Now what is it?" I asked as I wiped another tear away.

"You say that now, but in a few minutes, you're going to hate Me." she cried.

"Hate you? Bella I could never hate you." I said as I shook my head.

"Jacob I'm pregnant." she choked out before I could continue to say what I was planning on saying next. I love you.

I stared at her for a minute as I processed what she said.

"My dad is going to kill Me." she said finally.

"Kill you? He should kill Cullen!" I said loudly. I was angry, but not at her, at him for leaving her with this sort of responsibility. "Is that why he left?" I asked.

Then Bella burst into tears.

"It's not his fault. He didn't know. I didn't know. And Charlie can't kill him." she sobbed.

"Bella I'm sorry." I breathed as I pulled her into a hug.

"You…you don't hate me?" she asked as I felt her tears fall onto my shirt.

"I told you, I could never hate you." I said. "I keep my promises. I will never hurt you like that. I'm not going anywhere." I said. She held tighter to me at that. "It's going to be okay. You're going to be okay. I'll make sure of that." I whispered.

"Jake, you really are my best friend." she said into my chest.

"You're my best friend too." I said.

"But I haven't been a good friend to you." she said.

"What are you talking about?" I asked as I pulled away to look at her. "You've been my best friend ever since we were little." I said.

"Yeah, but I forgot about you when I went back to phoenix." she said.

I knew that. I had known that for years. But that didn't matter to me anymore. I couldn't be mad at her. I just couldn't.

"I don't care." I said. This shocked her.

"You…you don't care?" she asked. I shook my head 'no'. She stared at me for a minute in thought and then she looked scared again.

"How am I going to tell Charlie? And my mom is going to freak." she said as she ran her fingers through her hair and walked around a little bit. As she did so, I got a good look at her. She had on baggy clothes and black. I couldn't help but wonder how long she had been hiding this from everyone.

"Bella how long have you known?" I asked as she paced around. She stopped and looked at me.

"I found out the week after he left." she said. I thought for a minute. I didn't know much about this sort of thing, but that would mean she would only be around a month pregnant or something like that. But now that I looked at her closely, from what I could tell, she looked more like she was three to four months.

"So how long have you been…?" I didn't want to finish that sentence. And I could tell she didn't want me to either.

"I guess a month and a few days." she said. I grimaced at the fact that what she said meant that he slept with her and then left.

"But that doesn't sound right." I said.

She looked at me. "Are you saying I don't know when I got pregnant? I do know when. It was the only time I've ever…you know." she said as she gestured with her hand. I'm not entirely sure what the gesturing was for, but I understood what she meant and nodded. "And that was a few days before he left. We didn't plan it. It happened in his Volvo." she said.

I didn't need to know that much about it but I couldn't change what I knew now.

"All I'm saying, is you look…" I wish I had thought better of that sentence before I opened my big mouth but it was too late.

"Like what? Like what Jake?" she cried. I had never seen her be that emotional. Bella didn't show much emotion. She must have been scared out of her mind.

"You don't look like you're a month and a few days…" I still couldn't say it.

"You don't think I know that? I know this isn't normal." she said as she sat down. "But nothing of Edward Cullen's is normal. Why should his child be any different?" she said as she put her face in her hands.

"It's going to be okay." I said as I sat next to her.

How did I get into this? Why am I still her friend? I wondered but I knew that I was her friend because I loved her.

"I'm sorry I used you Jake." she whispered.

"Used me?" I asked as she looked at me.

"I knew that I was before I brought the bikes. I needed somewhere to go so Charlie wouldn't notice. I thought that you would be the perfect one to run to but now I've gotten you into my mess." she said as she wiped her tears away.

"You know I'm you're friend, right?" I asked. She nodded as another tear ran down her cheek. "Good, then believe me when I say that I'm glad you came here. You can use me anytime. And I don't mind being in your mess because I'm your friend and I love you."

She just stared at me. She was still scared but she had a look of relief in her eyes as she thought about what I had just said.

"Thank you Jake." she whispered.

"Anytime." I said. Then she wrapped her arms around me and gave me a hug as more tears came.

I don't know why I hadn't noticed her stomach being bigger than normal all the other times she hugged me hello or goodbye. Maybe I did but I just didn't want to believe it. I'm not sure.

We spent the rest of that day planning how to tell Charlie. I told her I would go with her to tell him but she said she didn't want me to get shot. I knew he wouldn't shoot me but Bella seemed to think he would. Even if I wasn't the father, she felt that he would shoot anyone who was in the line of fire. I finally caved and said that she could tell him on her own even though I thought it was a bad idea. I wanted to be there for her. But Bella didn't want me there. Of course, I had a hard time believing that because when we hugged goodbye right before she left to go tell Charlie, she wouldn't let go.

"Okay, you know what? I don't care what you say you want, I'm going." I said after the third time of trying to pull away.

"No, no I can do this." she said as she released.

"Bella, who are you trying to convince, me or you?" I asked with a small laugh.

"Me." she mumbled but I understood it. "I'll call you if I need you and when I tell him I'm sure I'll need to talk to you after." she said.

"Charlie is a good guy. He'll understand." I assured her.

"You really think so?" she asked in a hopeful voice.

Nope. Not at all.

"I'm sure he'll understand." okay, so I lied. What would you have done?

"Because all I can see him understanding is that Edward Cullen had sex with his daughter and got her pregnant and then left." she mumbled so fast I barely got it all. Unfortunately though, I caught every word. I didn't like the thought she just put in my head but I ignored the urge to grimace.

"It will all be fine." I whispered. "Don't worry." I said as I kissed her forehead. "I'll make sure you're okay." She nodded.

When she got in her truck and drove away, I felt the worry of what might happen once she told him creep up on me.

What if he sends her to live with her mom in Jacksonville?

I didn't like that thought at all. I felt as if I had just gotten my best friend back. I didn't want to lose her again.

I sighed with anxiety as I trudged through the wet grass, back to my house, hoping that it would all work out like I'd said it would. I walked in to find my dad looking at me with a look on his face I had never seen before. I stopped, a little frightened by it and just looked at him.

We stood there for minutes and then he finally spoke. "Is she going to tell Charlie?"

I was shocked. He knew.

"You, you knew?" I asked.

How could he know and I not know? I am the one who has spent the last month with her.

He sighed. "Son, you can't hide something like this from me." he said as he wheeled towards me. "Why didn't you go with her?" he then asked.

Wait…he doesn't think that I…

"And why didn't you tell me?" he asked. He was getting angry, I could tell. I opened my mouth to say something but he cut me off. "I don't even want to know how this happened." he said as he shook his head.

"Me either." I mumbled but he ignored it.

"And of course Charlie is going to blame me because the two of you were under my supervision for this past month. Wait, is that why Edward left? Because you got her pregnant?" he asked.

"Dad," I began.

"I don't want to know." he said before I could tell him what he really needed to know. "I don't think you see the gravity of this. Charlie has a gun. He could kill you. In fact, I think he will kill you, and I might just let him. Great, my best friend is going to kill my only son. Jacob, I thought you were smarter than this." he said with a disappointed look.

"I am dad," I began but once again I was cut off.

"Then how do you explain this?" he yelled.

"Dad, will you listen to me?" I yelled back.

"Do I want to hear what you have to say?" he asked. I sighed and nodded. "Fine, but I don't want details." he said as he pointed at me. I scowled at the thought of giving my dad details. Not that I had any details to give. The thought was just disturbing.

"Dad, it-" for the fourth time, I was interrupted. But this time, it wasn't from my dad. It was Quil and Embry coming into the house. They were my two best friends from school.

"Hey Black." Quil said as he went into the kitchen.

Dad and I just looked at each other and I gave him a pleading look.

If he tells my two best friends that I got a girl pregnant, - make that the chief of police's daughter pregnant - then I'm going to kill myself. I thought.

He sighed and then we looked to Quil.

"Hey," was all I said.

Quil and Embry gave each other a quick glance and then looked back to me.

"What's up?" Embry asked as he grabbed a coke from the fridge. Honestly, they made my home their home and I did the same with their houses.

"Nothing." I lied. Then I looked at my dad and he gave me a 'we'll finish this later' look.

I sighed and walked out of the house. I was a little upset that he thought I would be that stupid. Quil followed and Embry wasn't far behind.

"You and your dad having a fight or something?" he asked as he caught up to me and Quil.

"Um…no…just a misunderstanding." I said without looking at them. I knew they weren't going to leave it at that. They never had left anything with just a one sentence explanation. They wanted details and I was not giving them any today.

"And?" they both asked together.

"And he won't let me explain." was all I said. Then I went into the garage. Of course they followed me.

"Well what did you do?" Quil asked.

"Nothing. I did nothing." I said. Emphasizing the 'I' probably wasn't such a good idea.

"Well then who did?" Embry asked. I didn't even want to think about who did.

"Who cares? The point is I didn't do it." I said.

"Do what?" Quil asked. Now that, I really didn't want to think about.

"I don't want to talk about it." I said.

"Why not?" Quil asked. I wanted to scream.

"Because I'm not in the mood to talk about it." I said.

I watched as Embry gave Quil a look out of the corner of my eye. It was a warning look. It was the 'shut up' look and I was grateful for it. I didn't really think about how weird it was that I could catch that sort of thing, but I guess I was too upset.

I sighed. I didn't come in here to work on anything. Just to get away from them. But they followed and now I had to look like I came in here for something. So I went to my tool box and grabbed a wrench.

I might as well fix the sink in the kitchen. Maybe that will make my dad happier…Yeah right. I thought as I rolled my eyes.

They followed me out of the garage and back into my house. Dad watched me as I walked to the sink and I glanced at him for a brief second.

"Well we just dropped by to see if you wanted to go hang out for a while but I guess-"

"Jacob can't go out today." My dad cut Embry off. I looked up at them and then back at the sink. I wasn't going to pretend that this wasn't a big deal because it was. It just wasn't as big as my dad was thinking it was. It wasn't my baby, but it was my best friend.

"Okay then. We'll just go then. See ya Jake." Embry said as he pulled Quil to the door.

"Don't count on it." Dad said as they left.

Embry gave me a look as if to say 'I don't know what you did, but it must be bad' and with that, I wanted to scream again.

"Bye." Quil said as they left.

"Bye guys." I said.

Once they were gone, I looked back to the sink. I was not about to look at my dad. For two reasons.

One; I was scared to see the look on his face.

And two; I was really angry at the fact that he would assume that I would be so dumb and not respect Bella enough to do things right. He knew me. I wasn't like that. And if I had been the one who shared the responsibility of the baby, there would be no way in hell I would let her go tell Charlie without me and I would have told my dad the day I found out.

"Are you just going to pretend that this isn't happening?" my dad asked.

I sighed.

"I'm not pretending anything." was all I said.

He came over to me in the kitchen and looked at me. I still wouldn't look at him.

"Jacob Ephraim Black, if you don't look at me right now, then you're grounded and I'm sending you to military school." he said.

I looked at him and asked. "Well which is it?" He looked at me. "You can't do both. Either I go to military school, or I'm grounded. So which is it?" I asked again.

He glared at me. "I don't like your attitude." he said in a loud voice.

"Well I think I have the right to be a little mad dad." I said boldly.

"If I weren't in this chair, I'd smack you." he said.

I rolled my eyes. "Dad, you haven't let me explain." I said.

"Well alright then, explain." he said.

Finally, he was ready to listen to me, and while I was angry at him not giving me that chance earlier, or the benefit of the doubt for that matter, I knew what I had to say first.

The one thing he deserved to know the most.

"It isn't mine."

He looked confused.

"But you and her have been inseparable." he said.

"I'm her friend, dad. Nothing more. It's Edward Cullen's." I said.

"Cullen's!" he yelled, disbelief crossing his face as he said the name.

I walked over to the couch and sat down.

"But that isn't possible." he then said.

I looked at him. "Dad, it's anything but impossible." I said.

He rolled over and searched my eyes, trying to figure out if I was lying. I just stared at him, knowing that he wouldn't find a hint of deception.

"It isn't yours." he said in a softer tone, finally coming to this realization.

I shook my head slowly.

"It's Cullen's."

I nodded, my fists tightening at the thought.

Something in his eyes turned sad, or afraid, for a reason I couldn't even begin to understand, and then he sighed.

"I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions. But I'm happy you didn't do something that you might regret later." he said, rolling away from me.

I thought one thing and one thing only.

I wouldn't regret it.

I really hope you enjoyed my first chapter. Please let me know what you think in a review. I would really appreciate it.

God bless!
