Chapter 4:
Before I could even say a word Jake was phasing and bursting through the window. "Alice you need to get over here now before Edward and Jake kill each other."
I hung up the phone and went running down the stairs. Thankfully I didn't trip as I threw myself out the door. The view in front of me was frightening. Jake was growling in front of Edward who was crouched and growling right back. They were circling each other in defensive positions just waiting for the other to attack. I started yelling for them to stop but they weren't listening. I just hope that Alice gets here soon before they kill each other.
"Jacob Ephraim Black, what the hell do you think you are doing? You two stop this right now." At that moment I had a shooting pain shoot through my stomach and doubled over. I fell to the ground screaming in pain, and the fighting immediately ceased.
"Honey, what's wrong? Is it the baby? Oh my god, I'm so sorry. Please talk to me?" Jacob spoke rapidly crouching over me, back in his human form, as I started crying. The pain was just too much.
Alice and Carlisle came running through the woods and crouched near me. "Bella, it is Carlisle. Tell me what's wrong."
"My stomach, it hurts. I don't know. The baby? Is the baby ok? Ahhhhh!" I screeched out as the pain hit me again.
"We need to get her inside." Carlisle called out to everyone around him.
Jake picked me up and carried me inside and placed me gently on our bed. I could feel cold hands touching my stomach. It was then that I realized that I was still naked. I blushed and tried covering myself. Jake realized my distress and grabbed my robe for me. Carlisle continued to feel around my stomach to find the reason for the pain. As soon as I was able to calm down the pain slowly subsided. I looked over at my Jake and smiled at him. His brow was furrowed as he looked back at me.
"What the hell?" he questioned. He looked at Carlisle with confusion all over his face.
"Bella, dear, talk to me. Are you ok?" Carlisle looked down at me and talked soothingly.
"Yeah, I don't know what happened. I started to stress because they were fighting and I got these shooting pains all over my stomach. Then as soon as I was able to calm down the pain stopped. What does this mean?"
Carlisle looked stumped for a few minutes and just looked at me with his brow furrowed. I looked over at Jake who had finally put on a pair of pants and came back over to my side. I reached out to him and he climbed into the bed next to me. He wrapped his arms around me and I curled into him.
"Bella, baby, please don't scare me like that again." Everything else was forgotten until I heard them all clearing their throats.
I looked up to three vampires staring back at me. Oops. There is just something about Jake that causes me to forget the rest of the world. He is just so sexy and amazing and oh yeah guests. I shook my head to get rid of the lust that was starting to build as I sat up slightly and looked around the room a second time.
"Sorry. It's just well … um … yeah." I stuttered and looked at my husband for help.
He just smirked at me and held me tighter. Thinking back to the original problem I caught Edward's eye. His head was hanging in shame, but there was a little anger still left in his eyes.
"What the hell do you think you were doing anyways? How dare you spy on me with my husband?" I yelled at him. That caused the pain in my stomach to return. I cried out and grabbed frantically at my belly.
"Bella, you need to calm down. It is obvious that whenever you get agitated and angry that the pain returns." Carlisle was back in doctor mode. He then turned to Edward, "maybe it would be best if you left?" They then had one of their silent conversations that always annoyed me back when I was with him, and then he took off out the window that was still broken.
I looked curiously at the window and then back to my husband. "You are going to fix that, and soon."
It was his turn to hang his head and then he nodded. I looked back at the two remaining vampires in my bedroom. "So, um, what the hell was that?"
Alice looked at me and then at the floor. "I'm so sorry Bella; by the time he made the decision to come here it was too late. When he disappeared I figured that he was here and called you to warn you. I should have gotten here sooner. I should have stopped him from coming. He has just been so broken up and not himself since we came here."
I got up and wrapped my arms around her tiny frame. "Alice, it's not your fault. He has always been a little stalkerish. Remember back when he used to climb in my window and watch me sleep?" I paused at Jake's growl, and then quickly said "and even though I never said anything, it always creeped me out."
She giggled slightly and nodded. "I always tried to tell him that it was creepy, but he never listened."
That caused a laughing fit between the two of us. When I looked around, Carlisle looked amused and Jake looked pissed. I crawled back on to the bed and in to his arms. His face immediately softened and I curled up into him again. I didn't care that we had guests anymore and just wanted to sleep. With a huge yawn, my guests took that as their cue to leave.
"Bella, I know that you are tired, so we are going to go, but I was hoping to meet with you tomorrow to discuss what happened tonight. But until then, try not to stress out. It could hurt the baby." I nodded. They both whispered their apologies and goodbyes as they walked back out the front door.
"Bells, are you sure that you are ok?"
"Yeah Jakey, it was just the stress of the moment. I'm really tired. Hold me?"
"Of course I will." He tightened his grip on me and I drifted off to sleep.
Today was just entirely too crazy of a day. With the stress of today it is no wonder how exhausted I had been. At least I had my Jake to keep me centered. Nothing could go wrong as long as I was in his arms.
A/N: Sorry guys that I took so long to post this chapter. I got the flu this week and was barely coherent enough to do anything let alone write. I have a lot of ideas for the next chapter, but wanted some input. I wanted to share a little of the back story of how Jake and Bella got together and was wondering exactly how to do so? My original though was to do it in Jake's POV as he uses it to piss of Edward, and my other thought is to do it through Bella's dreams. Let me know what you think? And I promise the next chapter won't take so long.
