Chapter 2:

"What the hell are you doing here leech?" Jacob said through gritted teeth. He looked as if he was going to phase right there. He started shaking and clenching his fists.

I placed my hand on his chest and whispered tenderly to him, "Baby, you know you don't want to do that. Just think about the baby, if you phase right now you could hurt me. Calm down, please."

My soft words calmed him and his shaking slowed. He looked at me with a guilty frown. After calming down he grabbed me and pulled me behind him. He growled at Carlisle and crouched slightly.

"I apologize for not informing you of our return. I knew that I would see you today and I hoped that I could talk to you and apologize for our actions. We never should have left five years ago. Can you please forgive me? Forgive us?"

I smiled at him and squeezed my way around Jacob. He tried pulling me back but I looked at him desperately. He released my arm but wrapped his arms tightly around my waist, pulling me back into him.

"Carlisle, of course I forgive you. I know that you only left because of Edward. When you guys left I was in so much pain, but I am so happy now that he left me. If he hadn't then I never would have been able to find this wonderful man. And I wouldn't be having his child." I gently placed my hands over my stomach and stated firmly, "so can we get back to why I am here today and do the ultrasound?"

With the mention of the ultrasound Jake regained his bouncy attitude and grinned. "I'm not sure if I like this or not, but I still can't wait to find out what we are having."

I laid back on the table and Jake moved over to my side and held my hand. When Carlisle moved to pull my shirt up, Jake growled at him. I placed my free hand on his chest and smiled at him. He looked into my eyes and smiled back. No matter how angry he got I just had to smile at him and he instantly calmed.

"Alright Bella, let's see what we have here."

Carlisle squeezed some of the ultrasound goo on my stomach and started moving the wand around to find my baby. As the image focused on the screen my eyes widened and I had my first glimpse of my child. Carlisle moved the wand around a little more and I tried focusing on what he pointed out to us.

He paused and pointed to a small spot on the screen. "It looks like you are having a boy."

"A boy? Really? We're having a boy? You're giving me a son? BELLA, WE'RE HAVING A SON!" His voice slowly got louder and more excited. The grin on his face turned into a full out smile reaching his eyes.

"Congratulations. I am very excited for you two." Carlisle whispered while removing the goo and pulling my shirt back down. I sat up and jumped into Jake's arms.

At that moment Alice, Jasper and Edward burst into the room. They all stopped dead in their tracks when they saw me. Edward lowered into a crouch and growled at Jacob.

Alice pushed in front of Edward and practically squealed. "Bella? Is that really you? I thought you were dead. You disappeared from my visions three months ago and it crushed me. I begged to come back and try to find you but they wouldn't let me. I'm so sorry that we left you. Wait … YOU'RE PREGNANT?" Typical Alice, she said everything so quickly and high pitched that I barely caught half of it.

"Hi Alice." I smiled and lowered myself from Jake's arms. She flitted over and embraced me. Jake growled and pulled me back into his arms.

"What are you three doing here? You can't just burst into a room while I am examining a patient." Carlisle crossed his arms over his chest with a very stern look on his face.

"Carlisle, you disappeared from my vision when you walked into this room and I was worried. Edward saw my vision and Jasper felt how panicked I was. We rushed over here to find out what happened and low and behold it's Bella. Why can't I see you?" Alice asked quickly.

"I have a feeling it has something to do with my little boy here." I paused to pat my stomach. "You said that you stopped seeing me three months ago?" she nodded "Well I am three months pregnant."

Carlisle nodded and seemed to agree with my opinion. "That is very highly probable. I'd like to run some tests if that is ok with you?" He directed the question at me and then looked to Jake for approval.

"So you married a mutt?" Edward growled. "I left you so that you would be safe from supernatural creatures and you married a stupid dog? Bella I still love you. How could you marry him?"

Jake crouched and growled but I walked right over to Edward with my finger poking his chest. "You listen here mister. First off, you left me and for months I was destroyed, I walked around like a zombie and lived like a shell of a person. Jake here is the one that pulled me out of that and showed that I was loved and that I could love in return. Second, you will not talk about my husband, the father of my child like that. He was there for me when you left and I love him with all of my heart. I don't love you anymore." My voice rose slightly while talking to him, but I remained calm through everything.

Everyone's jaws dropped at my outburst and Edward backed away from me. Jake smirked and pulled me back into his chest.

"Ok everyone while this has been a great reunion and everything, I owe my husband some quality time and I'd like to get to that. I'm sure that I will see you guys again soon."

"Bella, I'd like to see you again in a few weeks to check on the progress of the baby. Would you mind if I studied your child? A baby werewolf is going to be fascinating."

I turned to Jake to see his reaction and he nodded. I turned back to Carlisle whose face was lit up with a giant smile. I gave Carlisle and Alice a quick hug and took a quick glance at Jasper. Edward I refused to look at because I was angry at what he said about my husband. He had some nerve.

"Bella, promise me that I can see you again soon. I've missed you and I would love to take you shopping."

"Sure Alice, maybe some time this weekend."

Her face lit up as she hugged me again. Jake wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me out of the room. Edward was still cringing from my tongue lashing and I just smirked at him. Man, Jake really is rubbing off on me. When we arrived back out to the truck, Jake pulled me to him and pressed his lips to mine.

"We need to get you home and showered, honey, I don't know how to say this but you stink."

I looked at him in annoyance until I saw the playful grin on his face. Ugh, stupid werewolves and vampires being mortal enemies. I was very proud of him with the way he handled everything. When the Cullen's all walked into that examination room, I thought he would phase right there. I know that my presence had something to do with it, but I'm still very proud of his control.

"Honey, I am so proud of you, the way you remained calm through everything. You really proved who the bigger man was there. Now take me home so that we can have that quality time." I winked at him and smiled.
