All characters are Stephenie Meyers. I don't own them I wish I did ;o)

Okay I know most of you are in the Edward camp. I am too. But I want to do this chapter in Jacob's POV. He still loves Bella and since she was his first for a lot of things I had to throw this up and into the story. I hope you don't mind.

Again thank you for the reviews. They are most welcome. ;o)

7 Years, 4 Months and 2 days and Forever

Chapter 6

Jacob POV

I couldn't believe what my father just told me. Bella was back in town. She was back in Forks and teaching. Yes I love Lisa but Bella was my first, my whole world for a long time. Even after she left she was still part of my world. I wanted to go and see her I wanted to see how she was doing. I wanted to bring Lisa. I would show her I imprinted. I wanted to see if she was happy. I must have been grinning from ear to ear. It seemed my father had picked that up.

"Jake I wouldn't be too happy."

"Why? Bella is back. Maybe she will stay long enough to meet Lisa. It is not a visit right?"

"Bella has been back for four months. I didn't want to tell you…"

"Four months. And you are just telling me now. Why?" He kept this from me for four months. What is going on? Dad knew I still loved Bella. I always would even if she was still in love with the bloodsucker. I hated that she was but I could always try to sway her to the good side.

"Bella is back but she is back together with the vampire." He told me quietly.

"What? No she couldn't be. They left." I must not have heard him right. The bloodsucker left her. I picked her up. She was on death's door when she came to me. This can't be right why would she subject herself to that again. They couldn't be back.

"It is true Jake. The Cullen's are back. That is why you keep changing. Until the cold ones stop coming here you will keep changing." I knew that part. My father didn't have to remind me. My grin slowly faded. I had to save Bella again. I had to keep her safe from the bloodsucker and his bloodsucking family. I didn't care that she loved all of them. She would not be subjected to this again. I wouldn't let her.

"We are going to Bella's. Now." I picked up the phone and called Lisa. I told her that Bella was back and I had to see her because she was in danger again. She understood and told me to come home in one piece. I loved her way too much. She understood my feelings for Bella and that she was my first for everything. My next call I didn't have to make. Sam came into the small house that my father still lived in, followed by Jared, Paul, Embry and Quil. The younger ones were resting. Leah was on patrol with Seth.

"Where are you headed Jake?" Embry asked stopping me from running out to the truck.

"To Bella's. She is back with the bloodsucker. She is in danger with them around her again."

"No Jake. We cannot break the treaty. We can not be on their turf." Sam said darkly. He was the alpha. I was the beta. As Bella told me so many years ago. Like hell I wasn't going to see her. I wasn't going to stay here and watch her destroy her life with the bloodsucker.

"I have to take my father there to see Charlie." I said fibbing. They would see through that in a heartbeat. My father looked at me questioningly. He didn't want to be dragged into this but he didn't have a choice. I dragged him in anyway.

"Fine. If you encounter the cold ones then you will have to let us know. Keep us in the loop this time." The last time I was with Bella I didn't keep them in the loop. I was protecting Bella from Victoria. I didn't want to frighten her then with all of us protecting her at the time. I had second-guessed myself that time. Victoria bit me and I suffered almost dying to save my Bella from her. I shuddered at the memory. I didn't want that to happen again.

"I promise to keep you all in the loop this time. It is not like last time. It is not one like the red head." I was still going to be raked over the coals on that one. It was never going to end. It was my mistake.

All of them left me standing there with my father who was heading out the door. I followed him and lifted him into the truck. I got into the driver's side and drove the familiar route to Bella's. I hadn't made that trip in seven years. Yet I remembered every little detail on every street corner that we passed.

Twenty minutes later and a silent conversation in the truck we arrived at Bella's. Charlie was still home and greeted us in the driveway. He was going to leave to go fishing soon. My father usually went with him but not today.

"What brings you both by?"

"Just come to see you good friend. I told Jacob that Bella was back. He wanted to come and see her."

"Bella is still sleeping. I think she had a late night. I didn't hear her come in last night." Charlie said directing his voice to me.

"Thanks Charlie. Would you mind if we waited till she was up?" I needed to have this conversation with her. I needed to prove my point that he was not good for her. I needed to prove that I still loved her even if I was married to Lisa. I would always love her. She was my first for everything. Nothing could change that.

"Sure. I wasn't going to leave just yet. Come on in." Charlie helped my father into the house and wheeled him into the living room.

"So Jake you are excited to see Bella?" Charlie asked

"Yes. She didn't come to the wedding."

"I know. I mentioned it to her. She couldn't get back here for it. She was in Canada still."

"So dad told me."

"She should be up soon. She normally doesn't sleep this late." For all I know she could be in pain up there. I didn't smell the icy cold sweet smell that the vampires held, so I didn't move towards the stairs yet. I needed to make sure Charlie was in the kitchen before I went up to make sure she was okay.

"Drinks?"

"Sure Charlie." My father said. It was too early for beer and a game so my father just sat in the living room and waited for Charlie to come back from the kitchen. This was my chance. I headed to the stairs and ran smack into Bella. She looked like she just got up. She was still beautiful. She kept her hair the same length. Her brown eyes were gazing into mine. She was wondering why I was here too.

"Bells." I grinned at her. I was trying to hide that I was slightly angry with her for getting back together with him. I had to stay neutral. I didn't know for sure what was going on.

"What are you doing here so early?" I looked at the clock on the wall. I didn't wear a watch. One less thing to take off for patrol.

"It's almost noon Bells. It's not early."

"Oh." She was a little disoriented now.

"Is it true Bells?" I looked around for Charlie. I didn't want him to hear this conversation I was starting. Charlie didn't need to know what his daughter was involved with or what I was involved with. The less he knew the better.

"Is what true?" She asked. She was avoiding trying to avoid it.

"You know what." I pushed. I wanted her to say it. I wanted the confirmation. I needed to know.

"Yes it is true." She confirmed it. I cringed. No this can't be happening. I screamed in my head. He left her in a million little pieces. He was going to break her again. He would leave and I couldn't pick up the pieces this time. I could feel the anger starting to seep up my bones. I had to stay in control. "Why is it any of your concern who I am with Jacob?" she continued to question me. She had anger in her voice. She didn't realize I still loved her with all my heart.

"I care because I still love you Bells. I care for you. I always will. You will always be a part of me. You will always be my first. He is bad for you Bella. He is like a drug. You will OD and then they will leave again. I can't be there to pick up the pieces." I held my anger down. I didn't want to alert Charlie.

"No they won't. If they leave again I will be going with them this time."

"You can't." She couldn't leave with them. That would mean only one thing. They would change her. My beautiful human Bella would no longer be human. My voice was getting darker; my anger was coming up fast.

"Why can't I Jacob?" She asked her voice was becoming louder.

"There is a treaty. You can't go with them." I told her harshly. "You can't be one of them Bella." I said just for her to hear, the harsh edge still there. I felt my eyes go dark. I didn't want to hate Bella for this. I wanted to save her. I wanted to show her the severity of the situation.

"Who said that was what I wanted?"

"You don't want to be a bloodsucker like he is?" I spat angrily at her. I didn't want to be nasty with her. I still loved her. I just wanted her to be safe.

"Don't call him that. He has a name. They all have names." She was angry now. She always corrected me that he had a name.

"You don't want to be one of them?" I repeated. I left the word she hated out. I wouldn't use his name. It wouldn't come out of my mouth ever.

"Yes of course I do Jacob. I want to be with Edward. I have for the past seven years. That has not changed. It never will. I can't live with out him."

"It is part of the treaty Bella. They cannot create another vampire. Ever." I said it so she could barely hear me. I knew she heard me as I was still standing in front of her. She heard it. I smirked at her. She was at a loss for words. She didn't know. She broke the gaze I had on her and finally looked around and noticed my father in the living room watching the exchange between us. I assumed she heard Charlie in the kitchen.

Her mood shifted to all out angry as I continued to watch her. "You still can't stop me from being with him Jacob. I love him. I always have. I did while I was with you," I knew she was still in love with him by the end of our relationship but during it I thought she loved me back. "You and I didn't work. You imprinted leave me alone. You married Lisa." I reached out and grabbed her left hand as Charlie came into view in the corner of my eye. There was something hard on her hand. Rock like. A ring. I realized what hand I was holding. It couldn't be. Could it? They just got back together. Did he ask her to marry him? I chanced a glance at her ring finger. There it was. A perfect stone, as cold as the cold ones were. I lifted my hand slightly so the rock was not touching me. I kept her hand in mine for another moment. I didn't want to believe it. She couldn't marry him. No. This wasn't right. I had to stop this. I released her hand. I needed to stop this now.

"You're marrying him?" I asked her loud enough that Charlie had heard. She wasn't saying anything. She was just starring at me. She looked down at her ring. A sparkling glint came off it. I should have been the one to ask her. I should have imprinted on Bella. So I could keep her safe. "You're marrying him?" I questioned again. "Bella it's a mistake. You shouldn't. You can't. You can't because of what he…" I trailed off and spoke again quietly. "Is." Charlie was in hearing distance and I only wanted her to pick up the last part.

"Bella?" Charlie asked questioningly. "Are you marrying Edward?" I didn't turn to look at Charlie. I just held Bella's gaze.

She was quiet for a long time. Well it seemed like a long time before she found her voice again. "Yes, yes I accepted his proposal." She was waiting for the brunt of yelling. My face fell into anger again. The darkness in my eyes was still evident because it held her gaze. She almost looked afraid.

"No Bella. You can't. You can't marry him." I told her anger was seeping into my words. "It's not right. You can't become one of the Cullen's" I had to watch what I said. I didn't want Charlie to know anything out of the ordinary. She looked at me. She was frightened of me. She made a slight movement to back up but stopped.

"Bella." Charlie's voice was unavoidable. "Kitchen. Now."

Bella moved down the remaining steps and passed me. I let her through with out touching her. I watched her follow Charlie into the kitchen and stand in the doorway. With it being a fairly open kitchen you could hear the whole conversation. I could see Bella just standing in the doorway. Charlie spoke next even if I couldn't see him.

"You accepted his proposal?"

"Yes." I heard her say.

"You just got back together with him." Charlie's voice was still stern but wavering. He didn't know what to think.

"I know."

"You can't do this Bella. You will get hurt again. You shouldn't have kept it from me." Charlie raised his voice anger was definitely evident.

"Why can't I dad? I am of age. It is my choice who I marry. I know I should have told you but I didn't want to hurt you."

"I'm your father. I have a right to know. You still live under my roof. He is not allowed back here understand. Not ever."

"Dad I'm 26, not 18 anymore."

"I don't care what age you are. You are not getting married. Especially not to Edward. I don't trust him." I cringed as the name came out. Stupid bloodsucker. I hated him so much for hurting Bella all those years ago.

"Dad you can't tell me who to date, or who to get married to. What did you think that I would marry Jacob?"

'I would've married you in a heartbeat Bella.' I said silently to myself. I would have if I hadn't imprinted.

"At one point yes. I'm your father. You still live in this house under my roof. You will listen to me."

"No dad I won't." She had paused. If I knew Bella she was trying to keep her anger in check. "If you won't accept me with him then I will leave."

"You don't have anywhere to go Bella. There is only one option. Here."

"Well you won't accept I am with Edward. Even when you said it was okay. You lied to me too."

"If you go through with this engagement…." Charlie trailed off. He was thinking. "Then you are not my daughter any longer." I heard him push back from the table and stand and head out the door.

I watched Bella from where I was standing. I could see her in the doorframe. She must have been crying because she was wiping her eyes with the back of her hand. I hated that she had to do this with Charlie today. I should have kept my mouth shut. I didn't want to cause her pain. She had been through enough for a lifetime. I saw her turn and her face was the epitome of hate. She looked like she could murder someone. I then realized that it was directed my way. She marched up to me with daggers in her eyes.

"What did you say to him?" she asked my father. I noted the nasty edge in her voice. She was filling with hatred for my father and for me. It was evident on her face. I didn't want to reply so I let my father take this round.

"I told him he shouldn't let a Cullen into his family." My father told her calmly. Bella was not calming down. I couldn't believe I had caused this. I would forever be sorry that I did, but she needed to know. She needed to be told. I would have married her myself if I hadn't imprinted. I would have kept her safe from all this heartache. I would have kept her safe from him. I would have gone to the ends of the earth to keep her happy. Now she was mad at me. And I caused it.

"I told him he shouldn't let a Cullen into his family."

"Why would you do that Billy? I am free to be with whom I want."

"Because the vampires need to leave our people alone." My father said with surety in his voice.

"We are not your people." She said with ice dripping from her words. "We don't live on the rez. I will marry whom I please. I don't need you to tell my father whom I should marry or see. You had no right interfering Billy. You tried to warn me seven years ago. Did I listen to you then? No. Will I listen to you now? No. LEAVE. Both of you. I guess I have to thank you both for destroying my day."

I watched her start to move forward. I wanted to grab her and hold her like I used to. I wanted to stop this. I wanted to make her see this was for the best. The best thing for her was to stay in Forks and ditch marrying the bloodsucker. I could smell him faintly on her and it was starting to get stronger.

"Don't. Don't touch me Jacob." She spat out at me. She had never ever said that to me before. "You are the one who ruined this. You will have to let me go. I don't love you. I love Edward. I wish…." She stopped mid thought. What did she wish? I wanted to know. I wanted to know if it was…. Wait a minute; she wished that I wasn't her first that had to be it. No Bella please don't wish that. I said in my head. I will forever love you for being my first. "Just leave. Get out of Charlie's house both of you."

She walked past me and started to head up the stairs. I followed behind her. I didn't want her to be by herself but her hatred for me was still evident. I would coax her out of it. I had to try. I grabbed her wrist and then I smelt him. Sweet and icy. It burnt my nose. He was here. Was he here all along? I would have smelt him if he was.

"Let GO of her Jacob." I heard him say from the top of the stairs. I looked up and saw two bloodsuckers. Bella's and the blonde male. I heard myself let out a hiss. They were going to gang up on me. Sam was right I shouldn't have come. But I had to try. I had to get Bella back to the good side. She couldn't become one of them. The bloodsucker didn't take his eyes off Bella and I. I still had her wrist. I wasn't going to let go just yet. I had to keep my anger in check or I would explode.

"I said LET HER GO." His voice was dripping with hate. He hated that I had Bella still in my hand. Even if it was just her wrist. I heard a slight whimper and then I realized I was crushing her wrist. Oh Bella I'm sorry, so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I couldn't bring myself to say it out loud. I released her wrist. The bloodsuckers looked even more dangerous than usual. I didn't want to battle here in the house. I would take it outside. I watched Bella scramble up the steps like her life depended on it. I hated that she was running to him. She should be running to me like she did before.

"Now leave this house like she asked." He told me coming down the steps. The blonde one followed him. Bella was peeking around on the top step. Starring at him and then at me.

"Bloodsucker. You know the treaty. You can't create another." I seethed at him. My anger was rising quickly. I felt the rumble I usually felt when I would turn. I pushed it back down. I needed to stay human for a little while longer. I couldn't change I had to keep safe. I would not have another vampire bite me.

"I am well aware of the treaty. I was there to sign it." His voice was cold with hate for me. That's right bloodsucker I was with her while you were gone. I picked her back up. I was her first. I would take that to my grave. I glanced at Bella. She was frightened. She was scared of him yet she stayed there, frozen on the top step.

This was not over. I was going to have the last word. I would leave but this was not over. I would have to find another way to save Bella from the cold ones. I needed to talk to the pack. I needed start the removal plans. "This is not over bloodsucker," I thought. I hoped he heard me. There is no other way. It has to be done. I wheeled my father around and out of the door. I put him in the truck and we pulled away.

I will come and save you Bella. I promise you this.

A/N

Ok this chapter ended up really long especially for me. I have never done a Jacob's POV before. I hope I did okay. I don't really like Jacob. I am an Edward girl all the way. If I could have a vampire for a husband I would jump on that in a heartbeat! (Sorry honey you know I love you!!!) I always found Jacob to be all over the place. I hope you really do like the chapter. Let me know if something doesn't match up okay.
