A/N: Thank you one and all for the words of encouragement, you're alerts and you're favourite-ising… love you all to bits… MwahzZ and I know this was supposed to be Edward's chapter, but then I thought I gotta do this one so I don't freak out while writing Edward's… so here it is…
Please excuse any errors I make about cravings and what not, I've never been pregnant so I don't know… but I don't mind being given a little more info on it… thank you…
NOTE:
#1. Whatever errors I make about locations, please excuse them, just go with the flow, pretend everything I write is true, but please do tell me so I don't make the same mistake twice =)
1. Jacob is still a werewolf
2. Edward is still a vampire
3. The Cullen's exist too
4. The wolves exist too. They know that Jacob lives with the Cullen's and accept them
5. The vampire's and the wolves live in peace (vampires and wolves can live freely together) and people know of the existence of vampires and werewolves so the vampires don't have to move
6. Bella… she's there too… somewhere… there… darn!
7. The Volturi don't mind about the whole werewolf-vampire living together thing so long as nothing unusual happens

Caught Out
Early the next morning Jacob was woken by an intense pain in the lower regions of his stomach. It was so intense that it made him cry out and curl up even more. He'd never felt anything like it before. It was like his stomach was being both squeazed and stabbed at the same time.
For a few agonising seconds Jacob stayed laying in his ball, whimpering and breathing in and out deeply, trying to make the pain go away, willing it to go away.
Ten more pain filled minutes later the pain disappeared like there hadn't been any pain at all. Not even an eb of pain was there. Not even a tingle to prove that there had been any pain before.
Jacob sat up, wiping away the tears that had started during the pain. He stood up slowly, feeling incredibly dizzy so he sat back down. He sat down on the edge of the bed and took a few deep gulps of air, gripping the sides of the bed hard.
Jacob then attempted to stand again. The dizziness, like the pain, was completely gone as if it had never been there at all.
Jacob let out a sigh then went to the kitchen and gulped down five glasses of cold water. He knew this was going to get worse as the months went on. He knew that this was only the beginning and things were going to be even worse then this, more unbearable.
Jacob wasn't sure if he was going to survive this (no male of either supernatural species had survived this), but he hope and prayed to any god listening that he was around to see his baby(s?) grow.
When Jacob felt better he went to the bathroom and had a long shower. He did everything extra slow, taking his time to wash his hair, his face, everywhere.
When he was done, Jacob went to his room and got ready to go to Lennie's. Since it was Sunday the café wouldn't open (owners were avid church goers, never missed a Sunday) and so he had free time.
When Jacob had finished his – large – breakfast he washed the dishes for the morning and the night before then went down to the land lady – a nice old lady with 'a son who's a doctor' as she always said – and paid his rent for the month. When he'd paid he went out the building and walked over to the café. He saw that Lennie was already there, leaning against her pride and joy, a Mustang that had been a gift from her parents who were 'explorers'.
"Well it's about damn time ain't it?" Lennie asked, standing up straight and crossing her arms over her chest. "Almost thought you stood me and the old girl up. She'd've been real disappointed."
"Morning to you too Lennie."
"Oh yeah… morning." Lennie looked at Jacob for a second. "You look like crap wolf boy? What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm okay." Lennie looked at Jacob doubtfully but didn't voice her doubt.
"Aha… Come on. Grams made a whole crazy brunch for you, said the term 'wolf down food' didn't appear from nowhere." Jacob laughed.
"Sure, sure Lennie." They got into the Mustang and Lennie drove them to her place on the other side of town. When they got to the place Lennie parked her 'baby' and led them into a building.
"My 'rents bought it with their 'exploring' money. We rent out the rooms and get extra cash." Jacob nodded.
"Cool stuff."
"Yeah…" They walked up the stairs to the last floor and to the end of the hall. Lennie got out a key and unlocked the door and they both stepped inside.
Jacob was met by the different aroma's that were usually associated with food. His stomach grumbled, even though he'd had quite a large breakfast, and his mouth watered.
"Wow… baby must be hungry." Jacob stopped dead in his tracks as he heard Lennie say that. WTF?
Lennie didn't even pay him any mind. She walked into the apartment calling for her Gran who answered that she was in the kitchen.
"Well come on then, don't just stand there., let's go meet my Grams" Jacob nodded then walked to the kitchen led by Lennie. "Hey Grams, well we're here."
Lennie's grandmother – in Jacob's opinion – wasn't that old. She was probably in her early fifties. She was a petite little woman, something like an older version of Esme. She seemed like those perfect housewife type women from back in the day.
"Grams this is Jacob, Jake, this is my grandmother, the original Lynette."
"Hello love," Lynette said, smiling sweetly at Jacob. Yep, she was definitely like an older version of Esme.
"Hi," Jacob replied feeling a little uneasy at the way Lynette looked at his stomach.. Like she knew there was something being hidden behind that large top.
"Are you two hungry?"
"You betcha we are Grams," Lennie replied, sitting down at the table in the kitchen. "Well come on Jake, the mountain didn't go to Moses." Jacob smiled slightly and sat down besides Lennie. Lynette placed a plate in front of the two teens then placed different dishes around the table.
"Eat whatever you like, dear, I don't mind a bit." Jacob and Lennie dug in, both grunting every once in a while and throwing comments about how good the food was and Jacob occasionally thanking Lynette for the amazing food remembering how he and the pack used to do that with Esmé every day.
When the two teens were done – Jacob having eaten two thirds of the food at the table while Lennie and Lynette had eaten the one third – Lynette told them to go watch some TV and that she'd be with them as soon as the dishes were done.
Jacob felt bad and tried to offer to help coz there were a lot of dishes and most of them were the ones he used, but Lynette had refused, telling him to go rest then adding – more to herself then anyone – 'God knows you'll need it' which confused Jacob quite a bit.
Lennie paid no mind to the comment though. She grabbed Jacob's hand and led him to the living room, sat them on the couch and turned the TV on and switched to a channel playing some stupid romance movie that Jacob remember being forced to watch with Rose, Alice and Esmé.
For a while the two teens sat on the couch and waatched the movie. It was... Okay. Nothing too exciting. Lennie sighed and tured to Jacob with a huge smile.
"What?" Jacob said uncomfortably.
"Remember you said you were friends with vampire's..."
"Yeah..."
"How? I thought vampire's and werewolves hated each other."
"Um... The pack and those vampire's had an understanding..."
"Ah... So did anyone in your pack have a little something-something with one of the vamp's?" Jacob looked at Lennie. Where was she coming with this? Did she know?
But she couldn't've known. Jacob had it well hidden... Very well hidden. Lennie didn't know. She was just curious... That's all right? That had to be all.
"Well did they?" Jacob faked a chuckle.
"No. We all know it's against the Law."
"Yeah... But that doesn't stop people from doing it."
"Well we follow the rules."
"Mm... Bore!" Jacob chuckled, a little more comfortable now. The teens turned to the TV and continued to watch the stupid movie again.
Twenty minute later Lynette walked into the living room with a smile. She sat down on a chair that was near the couch that Jacob and Lennie were sitting on.
Lennie switched off the TV and once more turned so she was facing Jacob and could also see Lynette. Jacob felt a little uneasy as both women looked at him like they knew his deepest darkest secret.
"Um…" he said, not sure what to say.
"Jacob dear," Lynette said, in a concerned voice that got Jacob even more confused than before. He was also way past uneasy and he was squirming under the women's gaze. Jacob let in a deep breath.
"Y… yes…?"
"Where are you planning on having your baby?" Jacob felt his heart start pounding dramatically in his chest. WTF? How the hell did they know about that? He'd tried so hard to hide it. He thought he had hid it well.
"Ex-excuse me?" Lennie smacked him on the arm.
"Don't play dumb wolf boy, you heard her," she said.
"Well… um…"
"Don't deny it, we know." Jacob knew that there was no way out of this, that even if he denied it, the two women would know.
"H-how... How do you know?"
"Remember two months ago, you were like sick every morning and you hated the way baked blueberry's smelt."
"Right… So…?" That hardly explained a thing to Jacob.
"You were in love with blueberry cupcakes the first month; you even told me they were one of your favourite cupcakes."
"Oh." Damn!
"Exactly… So… back to Grams question... Where are you gonna have the baby?"
"I hadn't really thought about that yet." He hadn't thought about anything that had to do with the baby because he always felt helpless, like he could do nothing to make the situation better.
"Jacob," Lynette said. Jacob turned to the older woman. "You do know why the Law of Vampires and Werewolves not being in sexual relationships was established right?"
"Yeah… coz if one or the other got pregnant they'd most likely be killed during the birth and it could cause the family of the dead person to avenge and it would most likely start a war."
"Exactly. But you and this vampire you were with didn't follow that Law?" Jacob felt trapped. Like he was stuck in a corner. He'd just told Lennie that hid family followed the Law, he'd lied and she'd known he was lying.
"We didn't think it would happen. We... We were together for a while and we never thought it might happen." Lynette nodded with understanding.
"I see… does the other father know?" Jacob looked down at his hands, clenching and unclenching them slowly as the jab on his lower belly began slowly. "I see… so you're alone?" Jacob swallowed a few times, willing the pain not to get worse, to go away.
"Pretty much… yeah…" he replied as the pain slowly left again.
"Well Jacob," Lynette said, touching Jacob's knee motherly-like. "Lennie and I are here for you. We will look after you until we are sure you and the baby will be fine."
"You don't-."
"It'sa not really an option Jacob." Jacob sighed but nodded and looked up.
"Thank you Lynette." Lynette smiled sweetly.
"Jacob... Why didn't you tell the other father?"
"He is um… well known. It would've been hard to hide a baby." Lynette nodded.
"I see."
"How far along are you?"
"About four months." Lynette nodded.
"Well Jacob, you've got another month or so before the pregnancy starts getting difficult."
"Oh?" Jacob was surprised that she knew.
"I studied this when I was younger and even worked at a hospital, before the Law was made."
"Oh?"
"That Law isn't that old Jacob, it's a resent thing. Too many wolves and vampires died during the births, but it was usually women who got pregnant. There were rare cases of men being pregnant, but they never survived more than a day. The Council and the Volturi couldn't lose any more of their people so they made the Law.
"Jacob, there were some that did survive, even though they were women, they survive, and I'm hoping you'll be like them and be able to live and see your child grow." Jacob nodded again.
"Thank you Lynette." Lynette nodded and smiled.
"Jacob, I would like it very much if you moved in with us so I may be able to monitor you properly."
"I don't want to be a bother-."
"You won't be. And it'll make me more than happy to have someone who'll appreciate my cooking."
"I appreciate your cooking Grams," Lennie said.
"Of course you do dear. Right after you make a face and fake a smile." Lennie laughed.
"Whatever Grams. So anyway… Jake and I should get to his place and get his stuff over here right?"
"Yes, that's a good idea."
"I'm full of 'em." Jacob rolled his eyes. "Come on Jake. Let's get going."
"Sure…" Jacob said. He and Lennie got up.
"Be back in a few Grams."
"Of course dear," Lynette said, walking the teens to the door. The two teens got out and walked to Lennie's Mustang they got in and Lennie drove them to Jake's place.
When they got to the apartment building Lennie went up to Jake's apartment and got started on the packing while Jacob went to the land lady and informed her of his leaving.
After telling the woman he went up and helped Lennie with the rest of the packing – which fortunately was only clothing and food – and they carried the stuff down to the Mustang.
After everything was collected they got into the car and drove back to Lennie's place Jacob was given the room between Lennie's and Lynette's. He unpacked his clothes with Lennie and Lynette made them all dinner.
Jacob once again ate most of the food, but the women didn't mind. When dinner was over Jacob and Lennie watched a bit of TV then they were both forced to go to bed – not without a fight – because they had work the next day.
To Be Continued…
