'She can even have puppies if she wants! Just make her change her mind!'
It sent a jolt through my spine. This was what I had dreamed about the moment I had met
her. The future raced through my mind, obliterating anything that was in the present, including Edward.
"Jacob! Jacob! Just do it!" He was half-well full- mad. His eyes were unable to focus, and he looked on the brink of breaking. I didn't know vampires could be so hurt. To be honest, I didn't even think they could feel.
"Jacob, look she loves you. I know she does, so please, save her." Bella wasn't like that, a damsel in distress, she was determined, strong. I knew it was going to take an army to convince her, but it was worth it.
I gave Edward a brief grunt, as if to say yes. In truth I had no idea what I was going to do. I was completely confused, and in a daze. Bella would never give up this child. It was her and Edwards. Edwards. And I'm pretty sure Edward wouldn't be so happy with me if I was the father of her baby to. But I had to do it. I loved her, and I couldn't let her get hurt like this. And who knows, maybe she'll love me too.
"Bella." I said softly, closing the screen door behind me.
"Jacob." She squeaked out her voice hoarse, and barely a whisper.
"Bells...you look..."
"I know right...I can't believe it. I'm gonna be a mom..."
"Hey look," this was where I had no idea what I was gonna say next, "Bells, I talked to Edward..." I took her hand.
"What'd he say?"She seemed worried, through her pain, she still cared for him more than all.
I looked down. "He said he wanted to me to talk to you." I stared at her hand, slightly rubbing it with my thumb.
"About?" Her voice cracked.
"He wanted you to consider..." I trailed off, looking to her hand, to the floor, anything below me not to look into her eyes. "He wanted you to consider..." I sighed. "Having your kids...with me."
"With you?" The tone in her voice was unrecognizable, but filled with pain, hurt, and confusion.
"Edward said this thing...this..."
"My child."
"That thing, is killing you."
"No it's-"
"Bella, look just here me out, okay?" She remained silent, petulant, but silent.
"That thing-" She glared me down, but said nothing, "is killing you. Look, you are gunna get hurt, and so is Edward."
Her body froze at that.
"He said that he's willing to do anything, anything to make you let it go." There was an awkward silence between us, waiting in silence for what we knew would never come.
"Even letting you have kids with me."
I went into all the things that she could have if she chose to have them with me, family, a strong protection, love, happiness, and to see her children grow old. All the while, she wasn't really listening, she couldn't listen.
"Just think about it Bells, a large family sitting on the porch playing out in the sun, and then running home to you and Edward, and to me. One big family." I
I opened my mouth to say more but she cut me off.
"Well that wouldn't be so bad..." She drifted off into a deep sleep.
