Okay I haven't written in a while and my muse for my other stories is just in hibernation but a new muse appeared tonight and so we have this one shot. Cross your fingers that it's a good muse. All human and as always a Jake and Bella combo. Enjoy.

JPOV

Bella and I had been going out for a year and a half and things just started going south. It seemed like everyone was making up her mind for her, even me. I just wished Bella could stick up to everyone including me and tell what she wanted to do and what she was going to do. Things didn't change and Charlie made decisions on when she went out, who she went out with and even what she was going to wear. She never spoke up.

One day I wanted Bella to come over because I had planned a very romantic date, I even payed Sam to come over and suggest to my dad that they watch the game at his house. Then all of a sudden Charlie ruins all of my planning and tells her that she couldn't go out because of some bullshit reason. Bella once again kept her mouth shut to her father and called to tell me she couldn't come. Needless to say I was pissed. We got into another huge fight that ended with me saying, "Whatever," and hanging up on her.

The next day Bella came over and tried to apologize for the other night. I just didn't want to hear it because I'd heard it all before and I was sure to hear it again. With every mumbled apology I just got angrier and angrier. I spun around and faced her, "Bella, just stop. I'm tiered of all this bullshit. You are eighteen and your dad can still say no and you don't say anything. You knew I was planning a romantic dinner for us for three weeks and with one word you let your dad just ruin it."

I could see the tears pool in her eyes before I saw one escape and run down her cheek. I was so mad that tears wouldn't work this time. "Unless you start having a backbone I'm out of here."

Sobs over took her, "I-I understand J-Jake." She sobbed, "I just wish I could do what you want from me."

She turned to walk out the door that was still open. The look in her eyes made my heart want to break. I grabbed her hand before she could get all the way out the door. I walked to her and pulled her into my chest, "I'm sorry Bella. It just made me mad that I worked so hard to spend one very romantic night with you and it just did not happen." I rubbed her back as I tried to soothe away the sobs and tears. "I love you Bells."

She looked up at me and I could still see the pain and sadness in her eyes as she said, "I love you to Jake." The smile on her face was glad that I hadn't let her walk out of the house but her eyes still screamed the pain of me even saying that I would leave her.

I leaned down and kissed her lightly. "Hey I guess we could still make this afternoon some of the romantic night I planned. I got left overs in the fridge that won't take too long to reheat. Want some?"

"I would love something to eat." I reheated the dinner I made last night, well what I hadn't thrown out the door at the nearest tree. We talked while we ate and soon it was like the little fight never happened. We went in my room and I put in the movie I rented to watch. It was a chick flick but Bells had been saying that she wanted to watch it for a while now. It was some movie called "letters to Juliet".

We got about half way into the movie when Bella pulled my head down and kissed me passionately. One thing led to another and Bella and I made love. I'm not going to go into detail but it was wonderful. When we were done we laid naked under my sheet. She curled up next to me and laid her head on my chest. She still sounded kind of sad when she spoke, "I'm still sorry about last night."

Well that killed my left over bliss. I tried to not let it show as I told her what was on my mind, "I know Bells. We just don't have many days like this left. I mean I leave for boot camp in a little less than two months. I just want to spend as much time with you as possible before I can't see you for a while."

I felt something wet touch my chest and slide down my side; another tear. Bella lifted her head and wiped away any others that may try to escape, "I know. I still wish you hadn't signed up to join the army, but it's what you want so I will stand by you. As long as you want me here I will be here."

I held her there in my arms for most of the afternoon until it was almost time for Billy to get home. When it was getting dark I waved bye to Bella from my porch and went back inside. Things were good at least at that point.

One month later Bella once again refused to stand up to her dad. I had had enough. It was less than a month before I left. When she called me to tell me that she couldn't come I realized that if she didn't love me enough to stand up to her dad when we only had days left to be together then she didn't love me that much. That day I told her that if she didn't come over to never call me or show her face again. I sat on my porch all day waiting for her to show up thinking that she would come, but she didn't. Two weeks later she still hadn't shown and I was in my Rabbit on my way to boot camp.

Now its been almost eleven months since my dad had told me what was going on with Bella. Last he told me she moved out of Forks and to somewhere in Montana. Today I got a letter from my dad that surprised me. It was short. It read as follows: "Hey Jake, things are good here. I got a letter the other day from Bella. She asked that I not open the other envelope and to please send this to you since she did not have your address. So the envelope inside is from Bella. Hope you are good. Write back soon. Love dad."

My hands shook as I pulled out the other envelope. Part of me wanted to just shred it and forget she even wrote. But the other side still loved her and longed to know what she said. I opened the envelope and pulled out the paper. Some Polaroid photos fell to the floor but I ignored them because I was so excited to see what she had to say. The letter read, "Hello Jake. I am sorry to be writing to you when I know you have probably put me to the back of your mind. I hope you are good and also I pray that you are happy. I am writing to you today to tell you something that I thought you should know. It has been almost a year now since the last time I really felt you hold me tight. That day we made love, if you remember. Well a month later I couldn't come to see you because I was too upset because I found out that I missed my period. I realized that I was pregnant. You left two weeks later. I didn't tell you because you were so ready to go into the army that I didn't want to ruin that for you. I have moved to somewhere far from Forks but thoughts of you come to me every day when I look at our little girl. Enclosed I have included some pictures of her. She is now close to four months old, she came a little earlier than expected but she's fine. She looks more like you than me Jake. I don't know if I'm doing the right thing telling you about her. I have stayed awake many nights trying to decide whether or not to send this to you. I guess if you are reading this I finally got the courage to drop this in the mailbox. If you don't want anything to do with me or her that is fine but I thought that you had the right to know about your daughter. I named her, Sarah Renee Swan. I hope you don't mind that I gave her your mothers name. I thought it went nice and seemed to just fit her. You don't have to reply or anything to this letter but if you want to I have included a return address on the front of the envelope. I'm sorry for everything I've done to you Jake. Please accept my apology for everything that happened. Bella."

My hands shook as I leaned down to pick up the photos of a little girl that was so beautiful that it was no wonder it was Bella's child. Bella was right though she did have my black hair and darker skin then her mothers albino colored skin. I looked at another this time a close up of her face and she blushed like her mother and also had those piercing brown eyes like her mom too. I could feel tears coming to my eyes. I had almost never known about a daughter that I wanted to know about. I looked through all these different pictures. There were ones of Sarah in her mother's arms while petting a painted horse. There was one of her laying in a patch of wild flowers looking up at the camera with the cutest little smile. It was the picture of little Sarah laying in her crib that made the tears brim over and run down my cheeks.

Just then some of my guy friends came through the door, "Hey Black, what's with the tears?" one joked.

I looked up at them and mumbled, "My daughter."

I handed the pictures up to him. He laughed and said, "I didn't know you had a daughter man."

My eyes were glued to the floor as I whispered, "Neither did I."

"Shit man. What you going to do?" he asked as he handed me the pictures back.

I looked through them again and said, "I am going to write a letter."

I felt a hand pat me on the back while Jimmy said to me, "Well good luck man. See you at dinner."

They walked out of the room and I picked up a pen and paper and began to write, "Dear Bella,..."

Well that is the end of this chapter. As I was writing this I figured I could turn this into something much better than just a one shot deal. So there may only be a few chapters but let me know what you think and there may be more on the way so make sure to review and sign up for alerts. Thanks for your time in reading this. Hope you enjoyed it.
