When Carlisle called Jacob inside his office with a very important type of doctorly update he was getting very nervous about things as time went on. They were doing their best to hunt and manage her own needs as well as Jacob could imagine. He loved her just as much as the Cullens did, probably more. He loved her most.

Jacob smiled and listened to what Carlisle had to tell him.

" She has little hope left now Jacob. If Bella dies-"

Edward flew into the room almost knocking Jacob over.

"Geez Edward slow down!"

"What's going on Carlisle? Tell me or I'll cry."

"That I'd like to see." Jacob thought and Edward was too intensely engrossed in whatever Carlisle was saying to pay much attention to outside forces of annoyance.

"Can I hear?"

"Yeah of course you can." Carlisle smiled as he welcomed Jacob into the little semi circle they had made in the office.

"I was just saying before that things are not looking so good for Bella right now. If she dies…."

"Then you get what you have always wanted." Edward said in a whisper to Jacob. "To kill me."

He smiled a little and Carlisle snapped "Edward can I finish?"

"Yes sir go ahead."

"Okay so if Bella dies then that will be hell for everyone involved but I am not sure the hemoglobin will be restored by her own body fast enough."

"She had problems giving blood before." Jacob said' I had to rescue a passed out Bella plenty of times. She hates needles."

Carlisle nodded. "That's why I have an idea. We need to get her blood somehow but her body doesn't have enough healthy cells to extract manually. I have to draw up an IV for her but even then that won't work I don't think."

"It's possible." Edward said and Jacob looked at him.

"Hey leech. Vampires don't bleed."

"Right Jacob. So in order to try and save Bella we need a human to give blood."

"How much?"

"If she takes than that will be enough."

"Okay." Jacob said taking a deep breath.
