Chapter 2

A Day at Billy's

I grabbed the diaper bag and packed it with what I thin I would need,

I really didn't need the diaper bag any longer, but I used it to carry changes of clothes,

I also had Ephraim's brush and a spare toothbrush, things that may come in handy if need be.

Jacob carried Ephraim to my car and strapped him into his car seat, reaching down and staring into his eyes and kissing him on his forehead.

We took our own cars, I took mine because of the car seat and the fact that Charley had to be at the station this afternoon and Jake had his motorcycle.

Charley was already gone, Jake hopped on his cycle and pulled up next to me and told me to drive carefully, looking back at his son "Always" I told him.

I didn't now weather he insulted me or what until he looked in the backseat of the car then back at me. Then I only nodded my head, and smiled at him.

Jacob always wanted to have kids; we talked about it all the time before I left, He said he wanted a house full, which made me cringe at the time.

And when I found out I was pregnant I was so elated, I knew Jake would be over the moon when he found out, and if he was happy that made me happy.

God! Why did I always mess things up! Why didn't I just stop and just talk to Jake at the time, instead of running I'm always running, when something hurt I didn't stick around to find out why or what was going on I just darted to the nearest exit, shut down….. gave up…I made a vow to myself I would never run again, I would stop no matter what had happened and find out what was going on.

I pulled up at Billy's Charley was already there and in the house and Jake was there before me as well, and was leaning on the railing of the porch with his arms crossed across his chest waiting on us to pull up. When he seen us he had his beautiful smile across his face, I sighed, he was so beautiful, he still made me melt at the sight of him.

He ran to the car opened the back door and had Ephraim before I could get out of the car, I grabbed the diaper bag, closed the car door and turned around and almost ran smack dab into Jake who was standing in back of me, I looked at him as he looked into my eyes he told me, "Thanks Bells," "for what?" I asked, for letting me see my son for being a sport about all of this, he reached down and lightly kissed me on my lips, the electricity that shot through me was so intense I thought I was going to pass out, I closed my eyes for a second and when I opened them Jake was till looking at me with the smallest smug grin on his face and ask, "are you ok Bells?" I nodded and said "yeah fine," he shook his head and said "come on son lets meet your other Grandpa," as he went into the house, I followed behind.

When we were in the house Jake walked over to his dad and stooped down and held the baby up to Billy and said " Dad meet your grandson, this is Ephraim Daniel Black," and handed him to Billy with a huge smile and the most proud face on him I had ever saw, it made me smile and I felt all warm all over.

Billy took him and said "Hello there little man" and kissed him on his head, Billy looked over at Jake and touched the side of his face with his hand, "he is a beautiful as his father and mother" he told his son, and looked at me and smiled.

"Thank you Bella," I shook my head with a puzzled look on my face, he chuckled and said, " for his name, I'm glad you gave him his rightful name, I smiled at him and looked at Jake and he was smiling at me as well, I looked at the floor, he's Jacobs son I did what I thought he would have done, As I walked over to the sofa and took a seat.

Billy played with him for a while and handed him to Jake and Jake came to sit next to me still holding his son. Billy looked Jacob and me and said, "Have you two had time to talk?" "A little I told him," as Jake looked at me with sad eyes , "Well you two need to take the time to sit down and talk about a lot of things," he said, Jacob don't you think." Looking at his son, Jake looked at his son with so much love I thought it would break my heart; he looked at me and said "yes we do need to talk."

And with that the front door flew open, we all turned to the door and they filed into the house there stood the entire Pack including Emily who stood next to Sam, Quill spoke up and said with snood remark, "Family Reunion Hu," Jake just shook his head and sighed.

Emily walked over to me and hugged my neck and said "Welcome home Bella," and kissed me on the cheek, I hugged her back and said "Thank you Emily," She looked over at Jake and went to sit next to him, Emily looked at Ephraim and said "Oh my god Jake he looks just like you," Jake nodded and smiled from ear to ear, "can I hold him," she asked and Jake handed him to her. The Pack huddled all around her and the baby, as the Questions started, the main one was what did you name him Bella, and I didn't even have time to answer, between Jake, Charley and Billy they said in unison "Ephraim Daniel Black," and we all laughed out loud.

Sam, Quill, Embry, and Jared sat on the floor and played all afternoon with Ephraim, Ephraim was in his element, he loved all the attention he was getting and was laughing so much he had the hiccups which made the guys laugh back at him.

Paul and Leah stayed in the corner of the room and keep pretty much to then self's; I tried not to look much at Leah after what she had done to us. I was very uncomfortable with her being here, but she was ordered to stay here with an Alpha command that Jake made, probably for my benefit, I really didn't want her here, but I think it was her punishment for what she had done to me, I am sure Jake already took care of his part of the punishment in his case. But I couldn't figure out why Paul was standing was standing there keeping her company, just seemed out of place some how, he never talked to me or Jake or anyone as far as that goes, just stood there with Leah, well I guess I will find out sooner than later.

I looked over at Ephraim and he was starting to get cranky and whining bit and with the biggest yawn, I knew it was nap time for him; I looked at Jake and told him I had better get him home for his nap. Jake jumped up and yelled "NO!" "I mean don't leave we can put him on my bed, please don't leave yet," he seemed almost scared that I was going to take his son away again or he couldn't stand the thought of being parted from his son, it broke my heart, I told him, "Okay," and walked over and picked Ephraim up and told the guys, "sorry guys he needs his beauty sleep," the guys just moaned "Oh man," Sam stood up and said, "come on guys let leave them alone for awhile," and with that they all filed out, Sam looked at Jake and then at Leah and Jake nodded, Jake said, "you can go," and with that her and Paul shot out the door, I looked at Jake and he smiled at me.

Sam said, "Listen, I was thinking we should celebrated, what about a bonfire tomorrow night?" That's a great idea, Bells what do you think?" Jake asked.

Sure, sure, sound great to me, Emily walked over to Sam and I told her I would come early to help with the cooking, she smiled and said, "She could use the help," and with that they left.

Charley got up and said he had to get to work, reached over and kissed Ephraim on his head and me on the cheek and said he would see me at home tonight, and left.

Jake and I walked to his room and I laid Ephraim on Jacobs's bed and he turned over and was asleep before I could tell him sweet dreams, Jake covered him with a sheet and sit down in one of the chairs that was in his room next to the bed he reached over and kissed his son on the head and stared at him so adoringly for a few minutes, I sat on the edge of the bed and watched Jacob feeling sorry for what I had done again.

Jake sat back and looked at me, "Bells," he said, "how can I love someone so completely when I only just met him this morning?" I looked at him and smiled, "He's your son Jacob its automatic he's part of you," He smiled looking back at his son, "he is so perfect Bella," "yes he is," I said. "I don't want to loose him Bella ever." He looked at me, "you shouldn't have left me Bella, you should have at least told me I had a son or that you were pregnant," He looked so lost and disappointed, a tear ran down my cheek as I told him, "I am sorry Jake," "Not good enough Bella, you're my imprint it is impossible for me to cheat on you, even if I wanted to I couldn't, you should waited we could have worked it out Baby".

"Even if it was true that still didn't give you the right to deny me my son," "I know that now, and if it makes any difference I have made a vow to my self never to run again, no matter what," I said, "it does," he said, "Look, I understand how you felt and I am so sorry you had to see or go through that, the suffering you went through while you were gone, you're my imprint so I felt everything your felt, and I'm still in love with you Bells your everything to me, and I missed you so much."

"I never understood the whole imprint thing just that it intensifies our love, how was I supposed to know that you couldn't cheat on me?"

"Okay, you seen what you seen and I will give you that and like I said before if the tables were turned I would have had a hard time with that as well, but now you know what happened, your back and we have a son where do we stand?" "What do you mean Jake?" Do you have someone, do you have a boy friend, and have you been seeing anyone sense you been gone?"

I looked at him with hurt in my eye's and a single tear rolled down my cheek, as I wiped it away, "Jacob as you said that would have been impossible, I thought of you every minute of the day, ever second of the day, I dreamed of you, I could smell your scent every where I went, I too am in love with you and have missed you as much as you have missed me.

And with me saying that he jumped up and pulled me to him and pressed his lips to mine hard, the electricity I felt earlier was shooting through both of us, shooting out our fingers as we held each other and everywhere we touched each other it would imbed into us again, he lightened his kiss to be more passionate forcing my mouth open and licking my bottom lip, causing me to moan and my legs to go weak, he held me up as our tongue's intertwined, his lips never left my body as his kiss traveled to my cheek and down my neck to the v in my collar bone, as he moaned and called my name, "Bella," he cried and pressed against my lips again, I wrapped my hand in his hair and pulled him hard against me I could feel his arousal.

Jake stopped kissing me when he heard the baby turn over and moved his eyes to the bed, still holding me I touched his face with my hand as he looked back at me, "he still asleep baby, we should probably should leave him to sleep," Jake nodded and wrapped his arms around my waist and led me out of the bedroom. Looking back to see Ephraim one last time before we left the bedroom.

After I closed the door quietly, I looked at Jake, he said, "will he be okay in there alone;" I smiled at him and told him "he will be fine." I put my arm through his and led him to the kitchen, "let me fix you and Billy some lunch," his eyes lit up and said, "let me help." As he went to the refrigerator and brought out the mustard and meat and tomatoes and sat them on the counter. I picked up the loaf of bread and laid them out and started building the sandwiches while Jake sliced the tomatoes and tore the lettuce apart, I sat the sandwiches on a plate and took them to the table as Jake put stuff away and joined Billy and I as we sat down to eat.

Billy asked if we had a nice talk while we put the baby down, and Jake shook his head yes as he filled his mouth with his sandwich, "did you get everything straightened out?" he asked, "we still have a little more to discuss," Jacob swallowed hard to answer before I could say anything,

Whipped his mouth with a napkin and looking at me, I smiled at him and he kissed my cheek. Billy nodded with a smile on his face saying, "I see," he said and left it at that.

Billy looked at us and smiled, Jake seen this and asked "what is it pops?" "well I was thinking and I guess I should have talked to Jake first about this but I think I know my son really well, but Bella what would you think about moving in here with us for awhile," Jakes eyes lit up and I just sat there thinking, "I don't know Billy," Well think about it that way Jacob can get to know his son a little and you too can figure out what you want to do about your relationship, it's entirely up to you Bella." "I have to go over to the Clearwater's for awhile council business; I will see you both later as he left us alone.

"What do you thin Bella?" Jake asked, "Jake I just got home and we have only talked once really, and I don't know if it's a good idea," "come on Bells we can take it slow I promise I won't push you into anything your not ready for and I can spend more time with my son, please baby stay with me, for us," I looked at him thinking hard, if none of this had happened with Leah we would have been married by now and had our son and Jake wouldn't have missed out on the two years of Ephraim's life, how could I say no to him, I do still love him so much and I miss him when I am not with him and I can see that he feels the same way, and he doesn't want to be separated from his son. Soooo.

Okay Jake but not tonight I have to tell Charley and get our stuff together," He jumped up and grabbed me kissing me hard and swung me around, then put me on my feet and said, " I love you Bells," "I love you to Jacob," he kissed me again passionately pulling me close putting his arms around my waist, and I put my hands on his chest I could feel the muscles bulging as he held me tight and then we heard Ephraim stirring around in the bedroom, Jake pulled out of our kiss and looked at me laying his forehead against mine and smiled, then we heard it, as clear as day, Ephraim yelled.

"DADDY!"

I THOUGHT Jake was going to faint, he looked at me and said "did he just say what I think he said, I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes, Jake let me go and ran to the bedroom he grabbed Ephraim and swung him around and Ephraim laughed and laughed, he brought him in the living room and said "did you call me daddy Ephraim," then Ephraim said it again, "daddy, daddy, daddy," reaching up and hugging Jacob around his neck, Jake had tears streaming down his face, holding Ephraim it was the most precious thing I had ever witnessed, he held him for a couple of minutes and I went over and sat next to Jacob and put my arms around his waist and Jake looked at me again and said, "Thank you Bells for making me the happiest man alive." I gave him a peck on his lips and told him "you did have a little to do with it you know?" he looked at me and smiled as he wiped his tears away.

I left Jake to play with his son and went to get Ephraim his lunch, I went to the kitchen and made him a bowl of fruit and yogurt, I don't know why he loves that so much but he does I hate yogurt myself, and filled a sippy cup with milk and brought it to the dinning room table, and told Jake to bring him over so he could eat. I told Jake to bring him over so he could eat. Jake sit him on his lap so Ephraim could reach the table almost like his own boaster chair as I sat across from them watching them both enjoying themselves, every once in awhile Jake would look up at me and smile, god that smile does he even know what he does to me.

Ephraim and I spent the rest of the day with Jake, we took him outside and let him run around in the yard for awhile, then Jake found some of his old toys that were put away and gave then to Ephraim to play with so Jake and I could watch a movie, it was starting to get late and I need to get home to get Ephraim ready for bed, Jake was having a hard time excepting this, I told him we would see him tomorrow he shook his head like he understood but with sad eyes, he just kept a hold of Ephraim and hugged him, finally I told him let me get settled and get him down and you can come over and spend the night, his eyes brightened up, " really Bells that would be great." I gathered Ephraim's stuff and Jake walked us out to the car.

Jake put Ephraim into his car seat and turned to me and kissed me like he wasn't going to see me again, "give me a couple of hours Jake." I told him he agreed and shut the door after me and reached down and kissed my forehead, "see you in a few Bells" Jake said and all of a sudden Ephraim stated screaming, Daddy, Daddy, Holding his arms out to Jake, I thought my heart would break once again into a million pieces. Jake opened the door and grabbed him and hugged him tight, and Ephraim stopped crying, I got out of the car thinking well this isn't going to work.

Jake just rocked him back and forth, with his eyes closed breathing Ephraim in, I touched Jake's arm he opened his eyes and smiled at me. I just shook my head, "Okay I said I can't fight you both.

"Looks like were not going anywhere, He wont let you out of his sight," Jacob smiled while he hugged Ephraim and rocked him back and forth in his arms, "how is this going to work Jake?" that bed isn't big enough for all three of us," Jake smiled and turned around and went into the house and I followed him, he looked at me and said, ""Take Ephraim," and I did and Jake ran out into this room I didn't know was there I heard a lot of noise and Jake came out dragging an old crib, he took it into his room and followed again as he worked to put it together, "I told him I had to call Charley and tell him what was going on," He shook his head and went to call Charley, Charley didn't like it much but what could he say, he did offer to bring our clothes that was still in the suit cases, and Ephraim's things from the bathroom.

Jake finally got the crib up and Charley brought our stuff and kissed Ephraim good bye, I got Ephraim ready for bed and gave him to Jake so I could get cleaned up, I heard voices from the front room while I brushed my teeth, Billy had came home and Jake was telling him about Ephraim not letting him out of his sight and Billy was laughing, so Jake told him that we would be staying here, I also heard Billy ask him if we would be getting married , I heard Jake whispering something but couldn't understand what he was saying, so I let it go.

When I came back into the living room Billy was heading to his room, "Hear your staying here Bella," he said, "guess so," I said, and Billy laughed, "Good night kids," he said, "Good night Billy," I told him, "Good night dad," Jake told him. I asked Jake if he wanted to put Ephraim to bed he jumped up and took Ephraim and put him in his crib, covered him up and kissed him on this head, I stood there next to Jacob as he put his arm around my waist, he reached over and kissed me on my head, and went to take his shower.

I stood there next to the crib looking down at our son as he slept, thinking how luck I was, I turned and crawled into the bed and started to doze off, until I felt Jake lay down next to me and put his arms around my waist and pull me to him, He kissed me on my neck, mmm I moaned, "I just want to lay here and hold you Bells," he said. And we slipped off to sleep.
