Jake's POV
I ran outside and phased. As soon as I did I was overwhelmed with voices
We have to stop this! Embry growled.
We can't let them attack us! Jared snarled.
They're a threat that we need to destroy! Leah barked.
EVERYONE PIPE DOWN! Sam called after we all made it to the meeting place. We need to figure out what to do about this threat.
Wait, hold up. I said. What threat?
You would know if you weren't so busy screwing your vampire girlfriend. Paul said.
Chill out, Paul. Sam said.
Yeah, and she's my fiancé, thank you very much. I growled.
Congrats, man! Seth yipped.
Thanks. I barked.
Anyway, Sam started again, we've spotted a fairly large group of vampires coming down from the north.
Guys, relax, I barked, it's just the Delanis coming down to visit the Cullens. They're their cousins.
Jake, it's getting hard having all these vampires in the area coming in and out all the time. Sam said. It's putting all of us on edge.
I know, I know, I'm sorry, I whimpered, but this is just how it is. I have no way of stopping it.
Talk to them. Sam commanded. Just try and reason with them.
I can try. I barked, running back towards the house.

"Hello?" I asked, walking in the house.
"Don't come updstairs!" Alice shrieked, running around. "Go hide, Ness. And take that off!" She wispered to Nessie.
After it seemed like an eternity of Alice running around like a crazy person, she finally said, "You can come up now!"
I walked up the stairs to see wedding planning centeral. There were bride magazines and fabric swatches and cake samples and everything you could imagine needing for a wedding in that room.
"Uh..." I said, taking in everything in the room, "Alice, have you seen Carlisle? I need to talk to him."
"Um, I think he's in his study." She said.
"Thanks." I said, walking down the hall.
When I got to the study, I didn't even have a chance to knock before Carlisle said "Come in."
"Hello, Jacob. How are things with the pack?"
"That's what I came to talk to you about, Carlisle." I stuttered. "Umm... they're starting to get... 'on edge' from all the vampires that are coming and going lately."
"Ah, I see." Carlisle said. "Thank you for letting me know. I'll make some calls, try and keep the amount of people passing through to a minimum. Thank you for talking to me about it."
"S-sure" I stammered, walking out.
"Is it safe?" I called before I walked into the living room. I had no desire to be yelled at by Alice.
"Yep!" Alice chirped.
I walked in and saw Ness sitting on the couch, trying cake samples.
"Just in time." Alice said, guiding me to the couch. "Sit. Pick out a cake." She wrinkled her nose when she said cake.
"How can you not like cake?" I asked Alice. "It's literally the best thing ever."
"How would you feel if when you ate, food went down into your stomach, sat there like a lead weight, then you had to throw it back up later?" She mused.
"Ok that does sound pretty gross." I said.
"Honey, try this one." Ness said while shoving a plastic fork full of cake in my mouth, probably more to shut me up than to actually have me try the cake.
"Do you like it?" She asked while Alice picked up a pen.
"It's ok." I said flatly.
"You've got to give us more than that, Jake!" Alice said. "These are big decisions here!"
"Aunt Alice, Jake and I are going to take a break." Ness said matter-of-factly. "We'll be back in a few hours. Why don't you go hang out with Uncle Jazz."
"Fine." Alice said. "But your not getting out of this." She said, pointing to me.
"Yeah, yeah. I know, I know." I said, rolling my eyes.
After Alice stalked up the stairs to her room, Ness turned to me, clearly excited.
"Come on!" She said, dragging me off the couch.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"You'll see." She said.
(A/N - I have a pretty busy week this week, so it might take me a little longer to get the next chapter up, but it will be good, and it will have a cute Jake/Nessie scene)
