Chapter 3

Breakfast with Ephraim.

The next morning with the light filtering through the window woke me,

I opened my eye's and rolled over Jacob had already gotten up,

I laid back down, I knew Jacob had Ephraim, so I laid there thinking how could I

Had been so stupid, I was so mad at myself we could have been living our lives happily.

I took those two years of Ephraim's life away from Jacob that was so unforgivable! I heard

How can I possibly make that up to Jacob? I would think of something,

It wouldn't be the same of coarse but I will atone for what I had done, I told myself.

I got up and walk out of the bedroom, I went into the dining room and there sat Jake and

Ephraim, He had found a old high chair, probably in the same room he found the crib didn't Billy ever throw anything away, I thought with a smile, Jacob put Ephraim in it as Jacob and his self sat there eating scrambled eggs, Ephraim had it everywhere, Jacob sat there and watched him laughing and talking to him. Good morning I said, Jacob looked over at me, he jumped up and hugged me and with a soft quick peck on my lips he replied, good morning beautiful. With his beautiful smile, I smiled back,

Are you hungry honey? He asked,

No thanks

Coffee?

Yes please,

He ran to the kitchen as I walked over to Ephraim, Is that good sweetheart I chuckled and kissed him on the head.

I sat down on the opposite side of the table and looked at Ephraim and replied,

You're a mess with a laugh,

As Jacob brought me a cup of coffee,

Thank you love,

Your welcome he replied with a smile, and kissed me on top of my head,

He sat down in where he was before and returned his attentions back to Ephraim,

He's wearing more than he ate I chuckled,

It's the only way to eat, isn't it son? Jacob laughed.

Billy came into the room, oh my he laughed,

Reminds of when you were young Jake, he used to get it everywhere too, Billy patted Jacob on his arm, still does, I laughed trying to sip my coffee.

Jacob looked at his dad, thanks dad, Jacob told him embarrassed

No problem son.

Daddy! Ephraim yelled, holding his arm's out to Jacob, Billy laughed looking at Jacob's face as Jake cringed

Bath time daddy I told Jacob, with a smile.

He smiled at me lovingly,

He looked back at his Ephraim, Okay son let's go, he picked up Ephraim out of the high chair and held him out away from his own clothes,

I pressed my lips together to keep from laughing, but when Ephraim took both hands and smeared them across Jacob's face, Billy and I lost it, we laughed so hard we had tears in our eyes.

Okay son now we both need a bath, Jacob smiled, and we laughed even harder.

Daddy bath? Ephraim said, yes daddy bath, Jacob smiled as he took him to the bathroom.

You need some help Jake? I asked

No I got it,

Well yell if you need me I added.

Billy positioned himself at the table, looked over at me, He's in his element Bella as we drank our coffee,

I'm glad I replied,

He really missed you a lot Bella, he did everything he could think of to find you, and He called Charley all the time to see if he had heard from you.

I sighed and lowered my head.

I know you and Jacob will work this out, It's none of my business why you stayed away, I'm glad your back, and I don't want to see my son hurt any more Bella, He replied seriously.

I promise if I have any concerns about our relationship, I will talk to Jacob, I will not run away again, I told him.

That's all I ask Bella. I just want the two of you to be happy together, with your son. He added.

That's all ever wanted Billy

Good, he smiled.

Jacob came back fling Ephraim over his head like an airplane ,as making the noise's and everything, as Ephraim laughed he brought him down resting him on his arm and kissed him on his head and smiled ear to ear.

That's going to get old fast Jacob, Billy warned.

Nah, as he handed Ephraim to me, go to mommy son so I can change clothes he told Ephraim,

Jacob kissed me and started for the bedroom, when Ephraim screamed for daddy again.

Jacob stopped and turned to his son and sighed heart broke,

I told you son, Billy said.

I looked at Jake, go on he will be okay I told him, he stood there a minute looking at his son, go I commanded. Jacob turned and went to the bedroom to change.

Ephraim Daniel Black, You Stop That Right Now! I demanded.

Daddy can't hold you all the time, Now You Stop That.

Ephraim sniffed, and said softly daddy, I rocked him and kissed his head.

Jacob came back into the room and sat next to me, he looked at his watch, it's not even noon yet he said in disbelief, and I'm completely worn out.

Welcome to my world I laughed.

How do you do it? He looked at me.

You do what you have to do, I smiled at him.

He shook his head and smiled looking down at his son,

How did you quiet him down?

Use a stern voice I said.

Ephraim whimpered again, and looked at me, Daddy he said softly.

I looked at Jake; his face was as pitifully as his son's,

Jacob held out his hands, come here son, he said taking his son out of my arm's and placing him against his shoulder and rocked him back and forth, Jacob looked at me and pouted, I smiled at them,

Two of kind, I chuckled.

Daddy's going to need a nap as well I commented.

You got that right, Jacob agreed, with a chuckle.

Just then the opened and in walked Quill and Embry, hey guy's what up, they called.

Ephraim looked at them clapping, remembering them from last time they were here.

Hey little guy they said smiling at him. Want to play?

Take him guy's Jacob said happy to get a break.

They grabbed him Jake and took him the living room and played with him on the floor.

I stood up, Jacob grabbed my hand, where you going he asked, concerned,

To get dressed I answered. He pulled me too him and kissed me and starred into my eye's for a few second's and kissed me again.

I won't be long I said softly, he shook his head, okay he said.

I went to the bedroom to change; I opened my suitcase and dug to find something,

Jacob came up behind me and grabbed me and spun me around to face him,

He starred into my eye's again, he kissed me softly I melted into his kiss, he wrapped his arm's around my waist pulling firmly against him, I wrapped my arm's around his neck, baby he moaned, as his soft kiss turned more passionate, without his lips leaving my skin he kissed my cheek and down my neck,

Jacob I said softly,

Hum, he said,

We can't do this now,

Why not he said still kissing my neck

The baby I told him,

He's with the guy's still kissing me.

But for how long? I said.

He gowned he looked me in the eye's and sighed, okay he pouted, tonight he asked.

Sure honey I smiled

He kissed me again, and looked at me, I love you baby he whispered.

I love you to honey.

He smiled at me and told me I could put my clothes in the bottom two draw's of the dresser he had cleaned out for me.

Thank you baby I told him surprised.

He smiled back, gave me a soft peck on my lips and went to join the guy's in the living room.

When I finished putting our clothes away I made our bed and went to the living room to join the guy's I sat on the sofa watching the guys play with Ephraim,

When I finally got up I went into the kitchen, I heard Jake ask, where you going?

I looked at him, come here I told him as he followed me into the kitchen, I stood in front of the sink facing Jake,

Jacob why do you keep asking where I'm going every time I leave a room?

He bit his lower lip and walked closer to me, he wrapped his arms around my waist.

I missed you while you were gone he whispered into my ear, I can't be far away from you, he kissed me, I pulled him away a little, and looked him in his eye's,

Jacob I whispered, I promise you with everything I have, I will never leave you again, unless you want me to go, I will always be with you.

He looked at me, I couldn't stand it if you left me again Bells, and I just couldn't.

I am so sorry I left you before Jacob, and I promise I will make it up to you somehow, but you have to believe me when I say I will never leave you again honey, I promise baby.

Okay baby, I believe you, he kissed me softly and moaned do I really have to wait till tonight? He asked,

I am sorry love.

He pushed himself into me, fell that he smiled I want you bad he said.

I know baby and I am truly sorry, I told him again,

He groaned again, as he kissed me again and went to join the boys.

I went to the living room and sat on the sofa, and noticed Jacob wasn't there, where did Jake go? I asked the guy's.

To the bathroom I think Embry answered.

I sat there awhile before Jacob came back; he sat down next to me, and pulled me close to him,

I looked at him,

What he said,

You feel better I asked,

He grinned real big, much he said and kissed me, I smiled at him, shaking my head.
