Authors note: another random one-shot with Jake and Nessie. I was a bit bored and trying to think up a second part to the J/N one-shot I've already written because a few people asked to continue it but I couldn't think of anything except this...

Run, Jake, run!

Jake's POV

I was going to die. No worse than that; I was going to be shredded to pieces viciously and mercilessly by my father-in-law. And if Edward didn't kill me, Bella definitely would. I mean, what are the chances that the first time Nessie and I make love that she would get pregnant?

Ok, well, I guess they are pretty high but I really didn't expect it. I know we could have been a bit more precautious but really, when Nessie is laying naked on a bed I'm hardly going to be able to concentrate on anything other than her, am I?

We were both responsible adults although, admittedly, I could be more than a little immature most of the time. She had just turned eighteen and I'm surprised we managed to hold off doing anything until now, what with her being physically and mentally 17 since her seventh birthday.

And everyone thinks Edward has great self-control! What about me? I managed to contain my...urges and keep my thoughts relatively decent for the past decade. I should get a medal for that. But right now, as I wait in the small cottage Nessie and I live in on the Cullen's land, it looks as though I'm going to get my ass kicked.

Nessie had gone to get her parents so we could explain the...situation. She said I didn't have to stay with her while she explained but I wanted to be with her, to support her. I loved her enough to risk my life and face the wrath of my parents-in-law. Now that definitely deserved a medal.

As it was, I was currently freaking out. Nessie had only been gone a few minutes but I knew she would return soon enough with Edward and Bella. The waiting was horrible. I was going to die. That much I knew.

Crap, crap, crap.

I heard soft footsteps quickly approaching the house, only one set and they were much too fast to be Nessie's. It was Edward. It had to be. My heart rate had increased ten-fold and I was beginning to panic.

Don't think about it, clear your mind. I thought to myself desperately. Why did Nessie leave me on my own and then send Edward ahead of her? She knew I was terrible at blocking my mind, especially when I was nervous.

Focus; block your mind. Crap, I'm going to die. He'll kill me. Shit.

I almost leapt out of my skin when Edward spoke. Through my internal ranting I hadn't noticed him enter the room. "Jake, what's going on?" He asked and I knew he was suspicious because of my thoughts. My forehead was damp with sweat – something that rarely happened – and I took a couple of steps backwards, probably looking like a deer caught in the headlights.

See, this is why I don't even bother to keep any secrets from him because it's inevitable he'll discover them anyway. Stupid mind-reading gift.

"Jacob, why did Nessie ask us to come over here?" He asked slowly, obviously trying to get an answer out of me as he took a step closer.

Shit! Don't think about it, don't think about it.

"Nessie was blocking her thoughts too. What are you two hiding from me?" he snarled as he took another step towards me. Now, most of the time I would have just laughed at him or annoyed him further but between me freaking out that I was going to be a dad and my life being threatened by both Edward and Bella, I was more than a little stressed out right now.

I heard Nessie's unmistakable footsteps quickly approaching the cottage and I let out a sigh of relief. Unfortunately, I also lost focus on hiding my thoughts and the little tid-bit of information I had been trying to keep secret slipped out. Thankfully, I had managed to keep the more...graphic details of what actually happened that night to myself.

Just as Edward was about to launch himself at me, Nessie burst through the door and stood between Edward and I, placing her hands on his chest. Great, I was being defended by my imprint who was at least a foot smaller than me. How degrading.

"Dad, don't hurt him. It was my fault as much as his so if you've got something to say you can say it to me." She frowned up at him and as my luck would have it, Bella chose to enter the room at that exact moment.

"Why is Edward not to hurt Jake?" She asked with a slight smile until she turned towards me and narrowed her eyes. "What did he do? Nessie, if he hurt you I swear..." She trailed off but there was no doubting the obvious threat.

"No, he didn't, mom. Everything's fine." Nessie said calmly and Edward tore his glare away from me to look down at her.

"Fine? How can it be fine?! He...you...you both..." He fumbled over his words, too angry to be able to speak coherently.

"What is it?" Bella asked as she looked between the three of us, her eyes full of question.

"Dad's just being a little melodramatic." Nessie replied.

"Nessie..." I warned, not really knowing how much teasing Edward would be able to take before he completely snapped. I took a step towards her and reached my hand out towards her, planning on pulling her to my side. If Edward did end up savaging me the least I could do was to make sure Nessie and my baby were alright.

A fierce growl erupted from Edward as I neared Nessie and his pitch black eyes glared coldly at me.

"Jake, maybe you should go just now." Nessie suggested gently as she looked at me over her shoulder with a small smile on her face.

"Are you sure?" I asked softly with a slight frown.

She nodded her head and pulled away from her father to place a light kiss on my lips, earning another growl from him. "I'll be fine." She grinned at me. "But I doubt you will be." She giggled.

I took on last long look at her before reluctantly leaving the house, walking past a still confused Bella and sprinting off into the forest. Only a few minutes had passed while I got the hell away from there, when something between a growl and a shriek broke the silence of the forest, disturbing the birds from the tree tops. I had a pretty strong hunch who that was; Bella.

I had two options; run or face the wrath of Bella...again. I chose the most sensible and sprinted faster through the forest. I'd give it a couple of hours before it would be even marginally safe for me to return home. But right now my only thought was to put as much land between me and my parents-in-law as possible.

A/N: it's really short and, once again, I'm supposed to be working on my biology stuff but I got bored.
