What if Edward never came back and Bella fell in love with Jacob? This story!
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, only Autumn and Mercy
"I'm home!" Jacob
called from the living room; I heard my daughters' screams as they
ran downstairs. I walked out of the kitchen to see them both in his
arms smiling at their father.
"Tea will be ready soon. Girls,
get off your dad before he drops you!" I chuckled walking over and
kissing Jacob. Autumn and Mercy jumped out of Jacob's arms and ran
off. I went back to serve tea and Jacob followed. It has been 10
years since Edward left, and tomorrow is Jacob and I's 8th
wedding anniversary; we are going to dinner. Billy is going to look
after Mercy and Autumn, our daughters. Autumn and Mercy are our pride
and joy, I gave birth to Mercy a year after we got married and 4
years later gave birth to Autumn. They both looked like Jacob but had
my nose.
"I saw the Cullens
today." Jacob said. I dropped the spoon I was holding and turned
around to Jacob.
"What!?" I practically screamed at him. He
cringed at my yelling.
"Bella, their back and there isn't
anything we can do about it. They aren't allowed past the treaty
line anyway, don't worry." He whispered calming me down. I was
worried because I look old, and they will still look young. I nodded
my head and turned back to serving the pasta.
"Oh yeah, we need
to go shopping later. We need more food at the rate you and the girls
eat!" I chuckled, putting the food down on the table. I heard the
girls run downstairs.
"I rest my case." I whispered as they
all tucked in, the food was gone in a few minutes. I was amazed at
how fast they ate. I finished my tea 30 minutes later. I walked
through to Jacob, who was watching something about wolves on TV.
"Come on, we've got
to go shopping if you want breakfast." I chirped at him, he got up
lazily and called for the girls. After 10 minutes of torture trying
to get the screaming girls into the car we were off. I was aimlessly
staring out of the window when I saw a red convertible. Inside, to my
horror, were Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, Jasper and Edward looking bored;
except for Alice who was jumping up and down in her seat. They looked
exactly the same as always, young and beautiful. I turned my head
away from the window, but not before Alice saw me. I groaned as Alice
pointed me out to the others.
"What's the matter, honey?"
Jacob asked.
"Alice saw me, and pointed me out to the others."
I answered groaning again. Jacob held my hand and gave me the best
smile ever. I couldn't help but smile back, how could I resist
Jacob? I braved looking back at them. They were all staring at me,
only Alice was smiling and waving. I waved back to be kind.
"Mummy,
why are you waving to that lady?" Autumn asked in her cutest voice.
I turned around to face her,
"Just an old friend, honey. How
did you get that lollipop?" I asked, she gave me a cheeky smile and
pointed to Jacob. Mercy and Autumn started giggling when I slapped
Jacob's arm playfully. I forgot that the Cullens were watching me,
I turned my head to see them staring at Autumn with shocked
expressions. I ignored them as we passed their car.
It is always horrible to do the shopping, Jacob gets distracted and the girls end up being little monsters. It was even worse with a sticky child hugging me the whole time I was shopping. In the end I gave up and we went home.
We had to pull into the
gas station, because someone forgot
to fill the tank last time. I didn't want to sit in the car and
wait because the girls were singing the same thing over and over
again as loud as they could, so I got out and leaned against the car
watching Jacob.
"Why did we have kids?" I asked laughing.
"It
was your idea! I suggested we get puppies, but you wanted babies!"
Jacob chuckled.
"Yeah, but puppies just seemed weird,
considering you're a wolf." I said as he walked over to the shop
in the gas station to buy the girls some sweets to shut them up. I
regretted getting out of the car when I saw the red convertible pull
in. Before I could get back into the car, Alice had run over to me.
"Wow, Bella, you
look.....different." Alice chirped hugging me.
"Alice, I look
old." I told her in my bored voice that I often used on Jacob to
get him to do something with me.
"A bit, but you are nearly 30.
I must admit you look the best you have in years." She exclaimed.
The others were walking over now.
"Hey, Bella! How many times
did you hurt yourself after we left?" Emmett's booming laugh
filled my ears. I might as well be honest with him,
"Lots!
Let's see, I fell over in the forest, I threw myself off a
motorbike, cliff-dived and nearly drowned, fell going down the aisle,
gave birth, trapped my fingers in a car door and much more." I told
him laughing. I stopped laughing when I saw their faces.
"You
got married?"Rosalie asked shocked.
"Yeah, turns out you
can't imprint on someone who was already in love. So when Edward
left, Jacob imprinted on me and we got married two years later." I
replied. Jacob was taking a long time in that shop why can't he
come and save me? I heard the window open behind me and saw Mercy pop
her head out.
"Mommy, I'm hungry.
And Autumn just threw her shoe at me, my head hurts!" Mercy whined.
"Mercy, you just had tea! And if you had stopped complaining in
the shop you would have food." I told her pretending to do her
whining voice.
"My head hurts, tell Autumn to stop hitting me
with her shoe! OWWWWW, AUTUMN STOP IT!!!" Mercy screamed, I sighed
and grabbed Alice's hand pressing it to Mercy's head.
"Better?"
I asked; she nodded and smiled at Alice. Jacob walked over and put
his arm over my shoulder.
"We better go before Autumn knocks
Mercy's head off." He whispered in my ear.
"Bye, it was
nice to see you again. Girls say bye." I told them smiling. I
turned around and got back into the car, I heard the girls say bye
and we drove off.
"Who were those
people, Mommy?" Mercy asked.
"You're full of questions
today aren't you, Mercy! They were a few old friends, they moved
away 10 years ago and this is the first time I have seen them since
then." I told her. I looked back to them; they were in the same
place but they were stood around Edward rubbing his back and
comforting him. The ride home was silent, mostly because the girls
had sweets.
It was late when we got
home; Jacob took the girls to bed while I sat on the couch staring at
the ceiling. I heard a few screams and complaints come from upstairs,
and then heard Jacob sigh as he sat next to me. I cuddled up next to
him looking up into his eyes.
"Why did we have kids?" I
asked; he looked at me.
"I don't know, but Sam and Emily's
kids aren't like ours; theirs are much more behaved."
"Maybe
we went wrong somewhere. It was so embarrassing out there; they kept
hitting each other and made us look like the worst parents ever!" I
was now crying.
"Don't cry, Bella. Kids will be kids, and
there isn't much we can do. You will miss them tomorrow when we go
for a meal!" Jacob whispered.
"Where are we going?" I
asked
"It's a surprise!" he said with a grin, "What do you
say to a little fun upstairs?" he had a mischievous grin now. I
ran after him to our bedroom; we locked the door and it was like our
honeymoon all over again.
Maybe it isn't so bad having kids, especially making them!
I woke up laid on top
of Jacob; he was snoring loudly. I rolled over and accidently woke
him up.
"Morning, beautiful!"He whispered kissing the top of
my head.
"Morning and Happy Anniversary! Thanks for the early
present last night." I whispered back. He chuckled and pulled me
into a tight embrace. These are the moments I loved about our
relationship. I got up and turned on the radio, Jacob moaned and I
realised I was naked.
"Bella put some clothes on, you're
tempting me!" Jacob groaned
"I'm sorry; I've seemed to
have lost my clothes. Kind sir, may I borrow your clothes?" I asked
with a posh voice, he grinned.
"Of course ma'am, but I have
to help you put them on!" He stated with a southern accent. I
giggled as he got up and put his clothes on me. He reached over to
change the radio channel. The room was filled with the song 'If I
were your vampire' by Marilyn Manson, it reminded me of Edward.
Even after all these years I still thought of him, and I knew he
still thought of me.
"I think we should wake the girls up, it
is already lunchtime."I murmured. Jake nodded and turned off the
radio, and started walking out the bedroom.
"You might want to put some clothes on!!!" I called after him, but by the sounds of my daughters' giggles it was too late.
An hour later we were ready to go, Jake was dressed and the girls were excited to see Billy. They weren't so happy to sit in the car for half an hour.
