Author's Note: I've been on a bit of a Jacob/Bella roll for the last two days and this just came to me so I thought I would write it down! I've always loved stories in which Bella has Jacob's children - they just touch the 'aw' factor within me, so I thought I would write a quick one of my own:-) I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it! As always, don't forget to leave a review at the end to let me know what you think:-)
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight. As you may have guessed, I was not too happy with the way it ended....
A Life Within
Bella had never really liked children. Growing up as an only child, she had always felt rather awkward around them, never quite sure what to say or what to do. She was stiff and shy with them and they could sense it, avoiding her and hiding behind mothers' dresses when they saw her. As a result, she distanced herself from them and decided in the secret corners of her mind that she would never have children to torture other awkward souls with. Anyway, the thought of having a squirming, living creature growing inside of her was just disturbing. It was a thought that made her shiver inwardly when she saw swollen bellies and puffy feet. No, children were not for her. Besides, she didn't intend on living long enough to have to worry about that.
--------------
As Bella stroked her swollen belly and elevated her puffy feet, she smiled to herself. The little creature growing inside of her squirmed and kicked and her fingers fluttered over the strange sensation. She heard her husband come through the door and looking up at him, she positively glowed with contentment. He smiled sweetly at her and kneeling down beside her, he placed a large, warm hand over hers on her belly. His smile broadened as he felt their child move inside her and he leaned down to kiss their joined hands and the tender place beneath. And deep down, in the quiet recesses of her heart, Bella felt glad that instead of giving up her soul, she had decided to create another one.
