Of Losses and Gains

Chapter 2

Jacob froze in his steps. Needed…to…talk? What could they possibly need to talk about. His mind raced. What if he had upset Edward? What if he got angry? Lots of possibilities ran through his mind: Laugh, cry, run, silence. But one thought overpowered the others and made him think for a moment, not realizing his mind was wondering. What if, at that point in time when Edward would start to yell, Jacob acted more upset then him? Would that work to defuse the situation? Jake shook his head and tuned back into the real world. "Yeah? About what?" He questioned.

Edward stifled a laugh at Jacob's frantic thoughts. Gaining back the composure he had slightly lost for a second, he said, "I really think you should sit down for this chat." The vampire waved his hand in the direction of the bed. After he was sure Jacob was comfortable he sat on the edge of the chair for his speech. "Jacob...about what Jasper said in the living room..." Edward sighed heavily. "I think I should tell you...i think it was my emotions he was feeling."

Jacob's eyes grew big for a moment. 'Great…This always happens. I finally admit to myself that I like someone and then they tell me they like someone else,' He thought not even taking time to remember that the other could hear. 'Guess now wouldn't be a great time to tell him that I imprinted…' He sighed. He turned his attention back to the vampire. "Wow, really?" He said acting interested. He sort of was, however, because he wanted to know who stole this one from him.

Edward was about to speak, but then his mouth shut on its own. Did he hear Jacob's thoughts correctly? He had! Edward wasn't going mad after all. Hearing those thoughts gave him the proper encouragement that he needed to finally admit what he had been denying in the past few days. Edward began to speak again, this time answering Jacob's unspoken thoughts. "Jacob...do you honestly think that I've found interest in someone else?" He stood up, pacing the room.

"Then who in the world are you talking about?" Jacob questioned. He didn't pride himself on being a genius…and that was a good thing. Because he would seriously let himself down. He watched the other male pace back and forth, scanning his body. Inappropriate thoughts threatened to brim his mind be he forced them away before they had time to actually accumulate a form. He was not going to be caught making a porno in his head. He as well had to stop the thoughts about Edward's body that started to run rampant through his mind. At that moment, he wished he had Bella's brain in his head. At least his thoughts would be his own.

Edward sighed and finally sat down beside Jacob on the bed. "Okay," he said. "If I'm not interested in anyone else, and I'm speaking to you about it, then by default, you are the one I'm...interested in." If the vampire could blush, he would definitely be blushing now. For the first time in his long life, he had admitted his love to another male. Well, since he was going to hell...

Jacob couldn't feel his face other than the flames that roared to life on his cheeks. Thank god he was tan and that would not be visible. "Wow…" Jacob said as he scratched the back of his head. "We are breaking some serious rules now," he chuckled. "Might as well be thorough," He said with a smirk before he leaned over and captured the cold lips of the ice statue beside him.

Edward felt his arms wrap around the taller boy's neck as their lips met. Jacob's feverish skin was a contrasting feature that he found very enjoyable. This was Edward's and his first true kiss, and he found that the past two couldn't compare. It was passionate. Truthful. And, much to his surprise, lustful as well.

"FOR FUCKS SAKE!" Jasper yelled from across the hallway where his rooms location. Alice giggled once more as Jasper stormed down the stairs. "SOMEBODY HAS AN OVERACTIVE LIBIDO IN THIS HOUSE! I AM GOING OUT FOR A WHILE!" He finished yelling. Jacob had pulled his lips from Edwards and wasn't sure when his arms had made it around Edward's waist. He put his forehead to Edward's and laughed. Jasper had successfully ruined the lust mood. Now it was just funny to him.

Edward laughed along with Jacob, pressing his cold forehead to the wolf's. "Well, we've officially ruined Jasper's night," he said with a smile. "What now?" He found annoying his siblings to be oddly funny. And it was twice as fun when someone else was sharing the joke with him. He had the notion that it was a little late for being up, however. "Actually, scratch that. You need to go to bed. It's a little late." Edward glanced at the clock, which read 11:34. He certainly didn't need to sleep, but Jacob was mortal. And since he had finally accepted his newfound feelings for Jacob, he needed to make sure to be considerate to his needs.

Jacob smiled and released Edward from his arms, "Could you…um…turn around or something?" He asked as he turned his back to Edward and unhooked his jean shorts. Once he was sure Edward wasn't looking, Jacob stripped himself and pulled up the black boxers he had brought. Enthusiastically, he hopped onto the bed and snuggled down into it even pulling the covers up over him. "What..are you going to do?" He questioned.

Edward turned around so that Jacob could dress. When he heard him hit the mattress, the vampire turned around and sat at the end of it. The question threw him off guard for a moment, but then he thought about it. "Hmm," he mused. "Well, I normally just read or something at night, but if the light bothers you, I can always just lie down with you." Edward smiled at Jacob with sincerity.

Jacob smiled and lifted the covers up beside him for Edward to lay down. He liked the way the vampire's cold skin felt to his usually feverish skin. It was like together they made a normal body temperature. He shifted over to give Edward enough space to lay down.

Edward slid into the bed, beside Jacob, and lay his head on the plush pillows. It had been a while since he had ACTUALLY lay on the bed. It was nice ti finally have a use for it. He wrapped his cold arms around Jacob's waist and pulled him close, nuzzling his nose gently. It was rather nice, just laying there, without a care in the world.

Jacob nuzzled his nose into Edward's hair as he curled up with him. He hadn't realized when, but at some point, Edward's scent had become sweet to him. He wrapped his arms around the cold one as well and smiled contentedly. Of three things he was positive. One: Things had definitely changed. Two: They had broken several rules. And Three: Jacob had imprinted on a lone vampire. But all three things…he was willing to live with.

The morning sun shone through the large window of Edward's room, the golden rays falling on his skin, making him shimmer. He lay with his eyes closed, sleeplessly, and thought about his newly discovered feelings. He had a lot to think about during the night, and he had it all figured out so far. He was certainly not as confused as he had once thought he was. That was only a paranoid response he had, given the fact that another male was involved. He was not having a guilt trip over Bella's loss. If anything he should be thanking Bella for the opportunity to realize true love. Edward's conclusion was simple. He had found his match.

::The next morning::

Jacob opened his eyes and let a small smile creep onto his face as he stared up at Edward. 'So last night wasn't a dream.' He thought to himself as he yawned and stretched his muscles out. "Hope you didn't get too bored," he said as he nuzzled up to Edward laying his head on his chest. He liked this. It felt natural. Right. However, he was not looking forward to explaining this to the pack.

Edward brought his hand up to stroke Jacob's cheek lightly. "Of course not," he smiled. "I had plenty to think about last night." He sat up, shifting so that Jacob was still comfortable. "You know, it's really interesting to watch you sleep." Edward laughed lightly. During the time that he wasn't completely absorbed in his thought process, he would watch the other boy with curiousity.

Jacob sat up. "So...I have a question," he said as he searched Edward's black eyes. "How...do you intend to explain ...this to your family?" He was hoping that with whatever Edward spoke it would give him an idea of how to either keep it from or inform the pack. He sighed and resigned himself to curling back up underneath the blankets pulling them up over his face. He slid his head under the pillow and sighed as darkness returned.

A frown sank into Edward's features. Of all the things he thought about last night, how to break the news to his family was one that he still hadn't solved. He watched as Jacob disappeared under the covers. "I'll figure out something..." Edward sighed. He poked Jacob's side playfully through the blanket. It was morning, and Jacob needed breakfast, whether he wanted to get up or not.

Jacob popped out of the covers and glared at Edward. He wasn't that ticklish but he didn't like to be poked. He then listened as his stomach growled nearly as loud as he himself would. "Wanna hunt?" Jacob asked.

Edward smirked, and retorted, "Yes. Of course. Everyone knows that a werewolf's favorite prey is the ever elusive Big Mac." He laughed, and stood up and went to his closet. "You don't actually hunt for food do you?" Edward plucked a change of clothes from their hangers and draped them over his arm.

"Nope," Jacob said and practically licked his lips at the thought of a burger. "Just thought I would be considerate," He said staring into the onyx eyes once more. He finally stood from the bed, his shorts had slid a bit just below his chiseled hip bones. Turning around, putting his back to Edward, he bent over and pulled his jean shorts on. "So which will it be?" He asked turning back to the vampire with his usual goofy grin.

Edward thought for a moment, watching shamelessly as Jacob bent over pulling his shorts on. "Hmm...It wouldn't hurt for you to come along...but you have to eat first. Wouldn't want you to go rabid on us," he answered. "Emmet may come with us, if you don't mind. I don't know where Jasper went, but it's probably for the best." Edward laughed inwardly at the memory of his brother's episode last night.

"Oh yeah. He HAS to come. We still have to settle who is faster." He said as he buttoned the shorts. He stretched his arms up, his muscles pulling tight and he sighed. The movement felt nice. He stepped close to Edward, their noses slipping passed each other and their lips brushed lightly as the wolf spoke. "Besides, I like to see you in action." He finished with a smirk. He pulled back, not quite kissing him but still relishing in the sweet scent of his breath. "So shall we?" He asked.

Edward shivered at the feeling of Jacob's warm skin brushing against his. "Yea. Just let me get dressed," he breathed. He walked past Jacob and set his clean clothes on the bed, quickly discarding his shirt. The sun was still shining through the full wall window, glinting off of his bare skin. Edward pulled the light blue sweater on, then changing into his jeans.

Jacob resisted the urge to reach out and run his russet hand over the glinting skin of Edward Cullen. "I will just be downstairs then," He said with a smile as he walked out of the room. He walked down the short bit of stairs and sat down on the sofa in the den. "Sup, Jacob?" Emmett asked walking into the room and hopping over the back of the sofa to sit on the couch with the wolf, distance still kept between them because of course they stunk to one another, and laughed.

"Hey, wanna go huntin'?" Jacob questioned with a grin. "Still gotta race after all. Don't see why I am going to win," He said confidently.

"Oh yeah, you wish! You're on!" Emmett said laughing.

Edward put his dirty clothes in the hamper an headed downstairs to where Jacob was waiting on him. "Emmet," he said, when he saw his brother on the couch. "I suppose Jacob told you where we're going." Edward grabbed his coat from the coat rack in the corner. "Jacob, you need breakfast. So we'll stop by a fast food place first."

Jacob smiled and stood. "Great. I'm quicker on a full stomach…not that I need the boost," he said chuckling as he stole a glance at Emmett. Jacob stuck his nose in the air, a delicious smell filling his nostrils. He stood up, entranced by the familiar smell, and wandered into the kitchen. There, on the counter, sat 12 McDonald's Big Macs. Jacob turned his attention to Alice who was standing by them. "Thought it would be a good peace offering after last night," She said with a smile. "Maybe you guys should take Jasper with you. He needs to vent," she giggled. Jacob began to devour the burgers though careful of his manners. In nearly 10 minutes, with no mess at all, every hamburger was gone.

Edward watched Jacob eat with fascination. He had never seen anyone down 12 burgers in 10 minutes before without making a mess. "Alice," he turned his attention to his sister. "Where is Jasper, anyway?" The vampire leaned against the counter.

"Outside," She said simply. "He couldn't stay inside the house. Something about the lust emotions not going away or something like that," she said tapping her chin in thought. Jacob stood and smiled. "Ready when you three are," He said meaning the three male vampires.

Edward pulled on his coat that he had grabbed earlier, and nodded. "Then let's be off," he announced. The three walked out the front door, and Edward looked up into the tree in their front yard. "Jasper!" he called. "We're going hunting. Come on!" In a split second, Jasper was on the ground with them. "Thank God!" the blonde said. "I couldn't stand a second more of being around this house!"

Jacob chuckled. It lightly registered to Jacob that if the emotions were coming off of him and Edward…wouldn't Jasper still feel it? "And GO!" Emmett yelled as he and Jasper took off. He quickly stripped down, slightly turned away from Edward though not really caring if he out of the three vampires saw him, not wanting to ruin his favorite boxers, and phased as he ran. He quickly caught up with the two and passed them. He smirked in his wolfen form.

Edward sighed. They may have gotten a head start, but that wouldn't cut his chances. In a blur, he was off, and in a matter of seconds he had caught up with the other three. Jacob was taking the lead in his wolf form, but that came as no surprise to Edward. Emmett was the slowest of the four, though he bragged about his speed anyway. Jasper was faster than Emmett, but he was still no match for Edward or Jacob. At this point, the leading vampire was neck to neck with the wolf.

Jacob turned his head and saw the other vampire right beside him. The trees dashed by them in a blur of green. He winked at Edward as he picked up speed. He knew Edward was faster but he couldn't help it. Once he started, the rush was so much for him he just wanted to go faster. His claws dug into the cold earth beneath his heavy paws and pushed against him to give him the leverage he needed.

A smirk found it's place on Edward's features. So Jacob was going to be competitive? He would have to take it up a notch. Picking up his pace, Edward caught back up with the wolf, leaving the other two behind. He was surprised at how much fun this was.

Jacob smiled and jumped on Edward knocking him to the ground on his back. With one swift movement, Jacob drugged his tongue up the center of Edward's face. His tongue lolled out to the side and it was evident that he was smiling as he stood over Edward, a laughed rolling in his chest.

Edward laughed, wiping the saliva from his face. "Jacob, that was gross!" he said, ruffling the wolf's fur. He buried his face in his neck lovingly. Jacob's fur was shockingly soft. Just then, Jasper and Emmett appeared through the bushes. "What the hell?" Emmett was heard saying. Edward froze. How could he have let his guard down?

Jacob loved the feel of Edward's strong hands in his fur. The sound of Emmett's voice caught him off guard and he hopped up quickly unsure of how to respond. What does one say to a family of vampires when one is caught being affectionate with one of their family members. Jacob decided to let Edward handle it. After all, he couldn't really communicate with either of the other vampires without turning back human. He thought about phasing back only for a moment before he realized that his clothes were sitting beside the Cullen home.

Edward sprang to his feet, dusting off his clothes. "Er..." he murmured. "That is...I can explain?" The phrase came out as more of a question than a statement. His brothers did not seem convinced that he could. There was a short awkward silence before Jasper spoke up. "Those emotions..." he said, in realization. "They were coming from YOU TWO!!!"

"So what if they were," Jacob said from his place, standing on his two human legs, naked behind a bush. He needed to be part of this conversation as much as he would rather have not been. "Does it matter?" He felt almost angry at the look on Jasper's face. An accusing look was present on the pale face of the walking chill pill. At that moment, not even Jasper's vibes would have calmed down the wolf. Did it matter that they were both guys? Did it matter that one was a nightwalker and the other a shapeshifter? It hadn't mattered towards their friendship, why should it matter towards their love life?

Just then a laugh rumbled through the trees and Jacob's eyes were immediately on Emmett. "That is funny!" He laughed out. "For once, it wasn't Rosalie and me sending off those vibes. Do you just not get any, Jasper?" He asked patting the newest of the Cullen's on his back.

Edward stared in disbelief at Emmett. He was laughing it off? Jasper's convicting glare he could understand, but the other's reaction was puzzling to him. "Hold on...let me get this straight. You just caught us in the act of affection, and you joke about it?" Edward asked. He thought that Emmett would be understanding, but not THIS understanding. "You don't have anything to say against it?" He didn't want to hear it if the bigger vampire did have something to say that was negative, but the illogical response was unnerving to him.

Emmett smirked, "Dude…If you like it up the ass so be it. Not my place," He said. "However, I am finishing this hunt," He said as he grabbed onto Jasper's arm. "Leave it be man. It has nothing to do with you," Emmett finished dragging Jasper further off into the woods.

"Well," Jacob said in his mind knowing Edward could hear him. "That was…unexpected," he finished as the large wolf walked up in front of Edward and let their eyes meet. "Could have been worse…right?" He questioned more for himself than the vampire.

"Yea," Edward answered, out loud. "It most definitely could have been worse." He scratched behind Jacob's left ear. "Well, I still need to hunt. We can worry about the rest of my family later. It's your pack I'm worried about." With that, he waved his hand for the wolf to follow him, and started into the woods.

Jacob couldn't stop his back leg from thumping against the ground as Edward began to scratch his ear. He let out an unintentional whimper at the loss of touch. He got up and dashed after Edward, catching up easily. His tongue hung out of his mouth and he was obviously smiling as the wind hit him in the face like any normal house dog.

They dashed through the trees. Animals would run away from the two as they got closer. Edward's eyes locked on a large buck drinking from the lake. He hunched down in a crouch, ready to pounce. Jacob stayed back. He didn't want to interrupt the hunt. Edward lunged forward and Jacob knew the poor animal didn't stand a chance.

The wolf turned his head. He couldn't watch the vampire devour the creature. He cared for Edward, but he had been predisposed to care for the animals in the wild. Once Edward was done, they met back up at the house with the others. Jacob grabbed his clothes in his teeth and went to the woods to phase back and change. He walked back out of the woods, up to the three male vampires, and stood beside Edward. He couldn't help but notice the amused smirk on Emmett's face.

Edward walked inside with the others, and watched as Jasper immediately went to Alice's side. He didn't have to read his mind to know that Jasper was planning on telling Alice everything. Not that it bothered him. It was Rosalie he was concerned with the most. Even though she couldn't really do anything about it, she would certainly give him hell for a good while. He hung his jacket up on the coat rack and started to proceed towards the stairs. "You coming, Jacob?" Edward turned to the werewolf, his golden eyes meeting with Jacob's dark ones.

"Yup," Jacob answered as he crossed the room in a few strides and was on Edward's heels. He heard Emmett laugh and Jasper scoff. He couldn't help but chuckle. "Well…I have found my favorite one of your brothers."

As they reached the top of the staircase, Edward turned around, walking backwards to his room. "Yea, Emmett's always been rather accepting," he shrugged. "Jasper will come around eventually. But, it might take a while. His beliefs are rooted pretty deeply." He touched his hand to the doorknob, then turning, and walked through the threshold. He pushed in a random CD and sat at the end of the bed."So, how are you planning to break the news to your pack?"

"Well…I will probably break it to them in parts…first that it's a guy, I think they will accept that part better than the rest." Jacob said as he sat down next to Edward. "Then…I will tell them its you…" He said with a sigh before he turned and smiled at Edward. "Though, as Bella did, I don't care if they approve or not." He couldn't help the true feelings that came through his smile.

Edward threw his arm around Jacob, placing a small kiss on his cheek. "I think everything will work out," he said, encouragingly. "I mean, it's not like they can really complain. You did IMPRINT on me, after all." Having said that, Edward fell back onto the bed, in thought. Sure, Jacob had imprinted on him. And no one could really say anything about it. But, that didn't mean that they would be accepting. What it Jacob was teased or harassed by his fellow pack members? He supposed they would cross that bridge when they came to it.

"That I did," Jacob said thinking. How was he going to explain this to Billy? They didn't bother Quill when he imprinted on a two year old little girl. Would it really be that different for him to have imprinted on an 80 year old vampire? He chuckled and smirked a thought crossing his mind. "I just had a thought," He said as he threw one leg across the vampire as well as one arm until he was hovering over Edward. "At least this way…. We don't have to worry about breaking one another," He said with a wink and a light chuckle as he rolled over and off of Edward. He lay beside the vampire, a smile on his face, as he slid his large, feverish hand into the cold stone one next to him.

Edward laced his fingers with Jacob's and smiled. "You're right," he mused. "You're pretty much resilient to everything, and it's fairly damn hard to injure me." He rubbed his thumb along the side of Jacob's hand and continued to think. "So, I was thinking maybe I would tell Esme and Carlisle today," Edward said. He knew that they would be the most accepting, aside from Emmett and Alice.

"I will tell the pack….in due time," Jacob said staring up at the ceiling. He couldn't believe where he was. Had Bella's death really what it had to taken for him to imprint. Was her abilities not limited only to stopping Edward's abilities but also kept him from imprinting? Had that loss really been worth the gain? Did he even love Bella as much as he thought he had? One thing was for sure. She cared about Edward and Jacob both enough to want them to be happy… And perhaps they had found a way.

Edward sat up and lifted their joined hands to his lips, gently brushing them against his hand, reassuringly. He was certain that everything would work out fine. And, if there was a reason for everything, then he was for once willing to take things as fate dealt them. "Well," Edward said. "Let's go back downstairs and tell the others. It will be simpler to get the hard parts of this out of the way."

Jacob knew this had to be done but couldn't help but feel a bit nervous about the whole thing. He tightened his hand around Edward's and stood with a heavy sigh and tried to talk some confidence into himself. "Let's go then," He said with a weak and somewhat scared smile. He knew, if they wanted to, Rosalie and Jasper could take him down. Not only because he wouldn't fight back but because Rosalie's anger usually played to her advantage.

Edward stood with Jacob, and wrapped his free arm around him in a hug. "Don't worry," he whispered. "I won't let any of them harm you." He was shocked that Jacob even thought about them attacking him. Sure, Rosalie was bitter and insufferable, and Jasper was well planted in his beliefs, but they both knew better than to cross him when it came to someone he loved. He loosened his embrace, and started them out the door, and to the stairs.

Jacob soon found himself in the living room. Carlisle and Esme were smiling gently, honestly at the two boys as they stood side by side. Everyone else had also locked their eyes on them. It was probably because of how close they stood to one another. Jacob had instinctively stood against Edward's side to hide their interlocked fingers. "Yes?" Carlisle asked expecting they had something to say. Jacob glanced around at the other family members and couldn't help but feel a little more confident at the smile Alice was giving them. He knew she knew already. Yet she was still smiling. So it was a good sign.

Edward sighed. This was it. All he had to do was say his peace, and get on with his life. "I wanted to tell you...that..." he found the words surprisingly hard to say. He was about to try again before being interrupted. "Dude! Just tell 'em you're fucking, already!" Emmett blurted out, ignoring the fact that what he said was both rude and uncalled for. Edward saw Jacob plant his forehead firmly in his palm. Esme and Carlisle looked flabbergasted, both at Emmett's choice of words and the core meaning. Rosalie was giving them both a death glare, and Jasper looked sicker than usual. Alice, however, smacked Emmett on the shoulder, eliciting a false innocent, "What?" "We are not 'fucking'," Edward stressed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Jacob and I are...together, yes."

Jacob couldn't find the courage to bring his face from his palm. He squeezed Edward's hand. He leaned over and whispered in the aforementioned vampire's ear. "Maybe…I should leave…" He said unsure before he felt a light hand on his arm. "It's great that you are with our Edward, dear," Jacob looked up shocked at the delicate features of Esme's face. Carlisle came up to stand next to his wife. "If you don't mind me asking…How did this happen?" He asked not being judgmental, just curious.

"I…imprinted," Jacob said softly.

"Wow, really?" Carlisle asked amazed. "I have never actually known of someone to do that. Out of all my readings, I thought it was just a myth," he finished.

"But most people believe we are a myth…So what's wrong with living in a fantasy world?" Jacob said with a smile. Alice popped up from her seat and hugged Jacob. "We are going to be best friends. Not that I see it in the future…I just know," She said with a smile before skipping off somewhere in the house.

Edward squeezed Jacob's hand back, feeling more at ease now that everything was off his chest. He watched with a smile as most of his family gave them their best wishes. Rosalie stormed out of the room, and Emmett got up to calm her down. "Take it easy, you two!" he called with a chuckle, before disappearing up the stairs. Jasper stayed on the couch, pale and speechless. "Thanks Esme," Edward said, gratefully. "Carlisle. Alice." Everything seemed so much clearer to him than before. Like something had lifted the fog he had been stuck in for the past few weeks.

Jacob smiled. This was definitely easier than he thought it would be. However, he was pretty sure the packs reactions were going to be worse than Rosalie's. Jake unlaced their fingers and wrapped his arm around Edward's waist turning to smile at him. He kissed the side of Edward's head with a light smile. "I…must be off. See you later, my little bloodsucker," Jacob said with a wink before he walked out the door and dashed off. Better now, when he was in a good and confident mood, rather than when he wasn't in condition to fight for his cause. "Here we go," he said to the air.

He walked onto the reservation and was immediately met by Sam, Embry, and Quil. "Billy told us to bring you home as soon as you got back."

Jacob didn't argue. He simply began his walk home. Once inside the doors, Quil shut the big wooden door behind them. Jacob sat down on the couch, across from Billy, and the other boys came and sat down as well.

"You have been awful attached to that leech as of late," Billy began.

Before his father could continue, with a straight face, Jacob spoke, "I imprinted."

Everyone was caught off guard. "ON THAT FILTHY BLOODSUCKER?!!" Came Quil's voice.

"You have got to be kidding…" Embry added on.

"I refuse to accept this. This breaks everything we know as right. This ends now," Sam stated.

"I am with Sam," Billy said staring in his son's eyes.

"I didn't think you would understand. I am fully prepared to leave the pack at your request," Jacob said standing.

"That will not be necessary…" Sam said. "But rules must be made. We need to have a council meeting," He finished speaking to Billy and Billy alone. Jacob nodded and stood, walking to his room. At least nothing had gotten thrown.

He sat down on his bed and stared at his phone. Would it really resort to that? Would he have to leave the pack so that the elders wouldn't consider the treaty broken? If so, then so be it. He decided then…he would do whatever it takes to be with HIS vampire.

Edward was in his room now, reading. He wasn't really reading, of course. Mostly wondering how Jacob was doing. Would the pack accept their relationship? He prayed that they would, for Jacob's sake. Edward gave up on the book, tossing it on the bed and getting up to go down stairs and relax. He reached the den and immediately regretted it. Rosalie was sitting on the couch with a sour look on her face. "Edward," she said, before he had the chance to escape. "I would like to talk to you." Her expression was turning more and more vicious.

The blonde haired vampire didn't even wait for her brother to sit before she began speaking again. "How could you do this? Not to me but to the family?" She stood up getting angry. "First you bring home a human girl whose blood nearly drives everyone crazy now a WEREWOLF! Really Edward, are you determined to make this family have more problems than we need or worse, get us killed!?"

Edward stared at Rosalie with emotionless eyes. "It can't be helped," he said. "Jacob imprinted on me. It's not going to harm our family. You're completely overreacting. Besides, it's my business who I love." Edward absolutely hated having to explain himself to Rosalie. No matter what he said, he was fairly sure that she would never accept the fact that Jacob and he were together. In fact, he seriously doubted that it would be different with anyone else, if he had decided to love someone else.

Rosalie growled, "You have put us all in danger! First by your little human toy drawing everything with a sense of smell to us and now with your werewolf plaything that is going to have the same fate as your last toy! You aren't equipped for love, Edward, you're just not! Get over it and give us a break!" With that Rosalie stormed off to her room and slammed the door. That conversation was over.

Author's Note: Fate has decided to be on our side and give us ideas. As we were roleplaying this chapter, a song came on called "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A man of the midnight)"… Ironic no?
