Alright, so if anyone wants to send in any ideas you may like to see in the story, go ahead. I'll take any ideas into consideration. I pretty much have most of the story planned, but it could always use some extra details. Well, hope ya'll like. Remember please review.
It had been two weeks, and I could barely handle the aching pain that devoured my body. I was sure I was slowly dying. My child was sucking the life out of me. It was my fault though for starving EJ. It felt like I was burning alive, and an incredible scorching pain seared through my veins. Aches consumed my body, and it felt like my lungs were ready to collapse. Other then the physical pain that was currently torturing me, my head starved for the blood I needed so badly. My mind throbbed with an annoying sting as my mind went through a sort of withdrawal. I needed blood and I needed it fast or I would die soon. That was not an option. If I were to die, my baby would die as well, and that was something that I would never let that happen. If I couldn't get any blood I would force myself to live through the pain at least so my child could live.
I had been hiding my excruciating pain from my Mom and Phil by locking myself in my room for the past week when the pain I was in was too much to hide. I told them that I was just embarrassed over my growing state and needed time to think about my change. That excuse wouldn't last long. I need to figure something out. I was going to need help. Help from someone who would understand. Another supernatural being. Perhaps a werewolf.
It was obvious Jacob is the only one I could trust with this. The bad part was that I sort of hadn't even told him. I just found out he was a werewolf a week before I found out I was pregnant, and I just couldn't handle the thought of telling him. I just sort of took off without a word. I hope he hadn't found out through Charlie. I doubt he had, because Charlie knew I didn't really want the knowledge of my pregnancy to be known just yet. Jake was going to be pissed. I just left without a goodbye. That was almost inexcusable between best friends. Jake had helped me through a lot these past months, and I had just left him without one word.
I sighed and groaned all at once, and wondered how that was possible. I wouldn't be able to handle this much longer. The pain was growing every day, eventually I wouldn't even be able to contemplate calling Jake. I had to do it now, but it was something I was dreading. I achingly reached for the phone and closed my eyes as I prepared myself for what was to come.

"Hello!"
"…"
"HELLO??"
"J-Jake…"
"Bella is that you?"
"Yeah, it's me. "
"Are you ok? You just left out of nowhere. I was so worried. Still am in fact."
"I'm ok…I guess. I need your help."
"Bella, what's wrong?"
"I'm…I'm pregnant Jake. That's why I left."
"Oh."

He hung up on me. He actually hung up on me. Tears poured out of my eyes that had little to do with the nearly unbearable pain. I lost Edward. The father of my baby, and now I lost Jake. Before I could breakdown any further the phone rang. I picked it up not knowing what to expect.
"H-H…" I sobbed, "Hello?"
"Bella don't cry."
"Jake! Oh Jake, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I just didn't know how to tell you, and I didn't think I could deal with your anger to." I cut my explanation short as another sob bellowed from my throat.
"Bella, it's ok. I…I guess I overreacted. No I didn't, but I am sorry for making you cry. Why didn't you tell me Bells?"
"Like I said Jake, I didn't think I could handle your disappointment as well."
"I'm your best friend, Bells. You should never underestimate me. Now tell me what's wrong…other then the fact you're pregnant."
"My baby is not normal Jake. You know Edward is a vampire, and well so is my child. Things aren't the same for me as any other pregnant women. I can't eat food. Well, I can, even though it tastes horrible, but it doesn't help. I'm in pain Jake. I'm dying. I need…blood."
There was silence on the other end of the phone line, and I could feel Jakes anger through the phone. When he finally spoke, I cringed at the tone of his voice.
"That parasite knocks you up with his demon seed, and then leaves you behind to deal with the consequences yourself. I'll kill that piece of shit myself. He turned you into a monster Bells. You're just another bloodsucking freak like him."
More sobs came out of my mouth as I finally broke completely from Jakes cruel words. Was he right? Am I a monster? No, if I am a monster then so is my child, and that just isn't true. Neither is Edward. I had to defend my baby.
"Don't talk about my child like that Jake, seriously. I won't stand for it. This baby is part me to, remember that. I need your help Jake. I'm dying. Are you willing to look past our differences to help m, or not?"
"…Id do anything for you Bells. That's my weakness."
I sighed in relief and continued with my plea.
"Oh thank you Jake. I really need you right now. I know this is messed up for me to ask, but I need blood. As soon as possible. With your new…abilities I thought maybe you could help me attain some."
"I don't know how you expect me to find you blood."
"Can't you like…I don't know…rob a hospital or something. Maybe a blood donor organization?"
"I could try. I am pretty quick now. I could probably break into a place like that pretty easily."
"Oh could you Jake! Please!"
"I guess I could try. Where are you exactly?"
I explained to him how to reach me and laid back in bed to once again suffer through the pain that engulfed me once more.
Jakes POV
This is for Bella. For Bella. For Bella. Ugh. This is wrong, but I can't let Bella die. Monster or no monster. I stopped thinking and focused on the task at hand. Ok this place was pretty small. I hope there is enough blood for her and…it. Damn it. How much blood will she need to get by? Damn it. DAMN IT. Ok, focus Jake old boy. You are a werewolf. You can do this. It's going to be a piece of cake.
I walked to the door and contemplated how exactly I would sneak in. I'm pretty fast, so I'll go with quick and easy. I punched my hand through the glass on the door and felt around for the lock and knob on the door as I felt the warm blood flow down my arm. Ha! Maybe she could feed on me. Like I would let that happen. Ever. As the door unlocked I ran through the building searching for the room where the blood was stored. How the hell am I suppose to find it? I just barely realized I had set the alarm off when I reached the door with the words STORAGE on them. I kicked the door in quickly, looking around the room for any sign of what I came for. As soon as Ii saw the bags of blood with various labels I reached for the first one I could grab. A+. Was that right? Did she need a certain type? My sensitive ears picked up the sounds of sirens, and I began to panic. Ill grab as much of each as I could.
I opened the bag in my hands up and pushed all the bags on the shelf into the oversized bag. As I picked in an estimated about 40 bags of blood in this bag. Good enough. It was going to have to work. The cops were getting closer. I quickly raced out of the building at a speed I HIGHLY doubted the cops would catch up to. I guess it's time to see my best bud.
Where was he? This was taking forever. I need that blood, NOW. I surprised myself with the anger that surged through me. I really can't handle this. All of a sudden I heard my mom downstairs.
"Oh Jake! I'm surprised to see you."
"Umm, sure I guess you can come in."
"She's up in her room, but she hasn't seen anyone in weeks, so I doubt she'll let you up."
I heard footsteps coming up the stairs and prepared myself for seeing Jake. A knock sounded on the door and I took a deep breath.
"Bella, honey."
"Yes mom?"
"Um, a Jake is here for you. I told him you weren't feeling up to seeing anyone, but he wouldn't listen."
"Hold on mom. Jake's fine."
I unlocked the door and peaked through.
"I'm fine mom. Really. Come in Jake."
As Jake made his way in I saw my mom tilting her head to try and get a peek into my room.
"You're already pregnant Bella. There isn't much more you could do, but be careful."
I nodded and closed the door, locking it quickly. I turned to Jake and looked down.
"Did you get it?"
"Yeah."
"That it?" I pointed at the bag, and suddenly felt like a druggie.
"Yeah."
I quickly took it from his hands and grabbed the scissors from my desk. I pulled out a bag that said B+ on it and cut it open. I put the bag to my mouth a poured the blood down my throat, expecting it to taste horrible. It was amazing. It was the first time I had a good taste in my mouth in weeks. Was this what it tasted like for Edward? I grabbed another and did the same for about 4 more bags. I could feel the color coming back to my face and the pain draining from my body. I looked up at Jake and saw his face filled with disgust, and suddenly was embarrassed.
"I'm sorry Jake. I'm sure that was unpleasant for you."
Huh, yeah unpleasant."
"Thanks Jake."
"Uh huh."
"Are you going to talk to me, or are you going to pout."
"Wow. Real slick words for someone who just gulped down six bags of blood in front of me."
I felt color rush to my face and looked down once more.
"I'm sorry Jake."
"Look Bella I'm not going to lie that this isn't weird, but we ARE friends, and I'll do anything for you, ok?"
"Yeah, same here."
"So what are you going to when this runs out?"
Oh no. I didn't think about that. All I could think about was getting rid of the pain. I didn't think much further than that. Suddenly it all became clear. I couldn't stay here. How could I live with my mom through this? There was no way. I needed to go somewhere where they would understand, and could help me through this.
"Jake. I need to speak with my mom, but after, will you help me get somewhere."
"Where are you going to go Bells? Back to Charlie's? Any other place will probably break your mom's heart."
I knew that, and it was going to be tough, but there was no way I could be here. I looked up at Jake with a pained expression and hugged him quickly. I knew where I had to go. I didn't know how they would react to me or my situation, but they could help me if they were willing. They were the only ones who could.
Who do ya'll think its gonna be? Who do ya'll want it to be? Oh and dont worry this isnt a Jake/Bella story, its defintely Edward/Bella or an EDWELLA lol. Please REVIEW!
