Prologue

I sat on the bed and gnawed furiously on my lip. I didn't know how to tell Edward. How would he take it? Is it good news, or bad news?

A soft knock on the door and Edward peered in. "You wanted to talk?" he asked.

"Yes." I said and stood up. In one graceful movement he was by my side, his arms wrapped around me. I turned in his arms to look in his face. Maybe it would be better to tell him quick, like ripping off a Band-Aid. Quick and, hopefully, painless.

"I'm pregnant."

"Linny!" I shouted up the stairs. "You have company."

My beautiful daughter came sliding down the railing of the stairway. Her golden long, straight hair flew behind her. Her pale skin was as flawless as ever. Her purple eyes had an excited look in them, and her thin, red lips were up in a smile. She already knew who was at the door.

"Thanks Mom!" she said as she jumped off from the railing and kissed me on the cheek. I followed her to the door.

"Hi, Jacob!" Linny smiled as Jacob Black stood at the door. I looked at Jacob over her and nodded. He and I both looked the some as before. No change at all.

"Hey, Lin." Jacob responded, and stepped through the open door. I closed it quietly behind. "Ready to study?" he took his bulging back pack off his shoulder and held it in his hand effortlessly. Still strong as ever, I thought.

"Yeah. We can go up stairs." Linny turned and trotted up the stairs, Jacob close behind. As they ran up the stairs, they ran into Edward. His beaming smile met Linny. "Hi Daddy." She kissed his cheek.

Edward's gaze turned to Jacob. His eyes went black and he put on a half smile to please his daughter. "Jacob." He said sternly.

"Mr. Cullen." Jacob said curtly, a smile flickering across his face. He was farced to call Edward, Mr. Cullen under my rule. He was doing pretty well of calling his it. And not cracking up.

They passed each other and Edward came down to me. He kissed me passionately on the lips. "Is he behaving?" Edward ask, a smile sliding on his face.

I sighed. "As best as we can expect."

Up in her room, Linny and Jacob talked for hours. They laughed and giggled. They only way they could talk out of school was to have these "study" meetings. Jacob suddenly fell silent and looked down into his lap. "We shouldn't be together, Linny." He said.

Linny cocked her head at looked at him. "What?"

"I mean, we shouldn't be doing this." He sighed. Linny got up and climbed into his lap. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head.

"We are mortal enemies. We shouldn't be together."

"I thought you imprinted on me, and that can't be changed. I thought you loved me." Linny looked up into his face, and he looked down into hers. They kissed.

"I do love you. I love so much, Linny." With that, he scooped her up with on arm and gently set her on the bed. He slowly pushed her down and leaned down on her. Linny whispered in his ear, "I love you, too."

In the kitchen, I began to worry. "Edward." I called softly. He was at my side, holding my hand. I turned toward him. "Maybe we should go check on the children. They've been up there for a while."

Hand in hand, Edward and I walked up the stairs to Linny's room. Edward pushed opened the door. I screamed.

Edward pounced onto Jacob and grabbed the back of his neck. He picked Jacob out and ran out of the room. He jumped the whole flight of stairs and with all his might, threw Jacob out the door. Jacob flew and rolled about 10 feet and immediately changed into a wolf. He ran off into the woods.

Linny began to sob. I hesitated going in her room and comforting her. I, instead, closed my eyes, and turned away.

A quiet tap on the window caught Linny's attention. It was Jacob. She ran to the window and thrust it open. Jacob climbed in. Linny grabbed him and squeezed him as hard as she could. "Oh Jacob!" They hugged for a while. Then Linny stepped back and wipe the tears away from her eyes.

"Jake, I have a plan." She said. Jacob listened as Linny stated how they couldn't stay her much longer. He nodded, agreeing that they would run away and live in Canada, far away by Alaska. "We must live tonight." Linny finished.

Jacob kissed Linny once more and scooped her up in his arms. She grabbed her suitcase, and silently said good bye to her room. Jacob went to the window and jumped. They fell to the ground 12 feet away.

Jacob changed into a wolf and Linny move to his back. He ran into the woods. Linny turned back her head to watch her house, and her beloved family, disappear from sight. She buried her head in Jacob's fur to cry.
