I gazed into the pain filled eyes,
My heart was torn my soul was shattered,
Left in pieces we were both battered.
I raised my sword he was the first to fall,
That was his life's, our love's curtain call.

I kissed Edward good bye and promised to be good, his whole family was going away for a hunting trip to make sure they were especially safe, because I was due any day now. I had graduated like everyone else but cried a whole lot more I'm and the summer holidays were exactly what I needed; sleep and rest without the pressure of school or having to face the stares of my classmates anymore made me feel better than I had in a while, so I decided to do the worst thing I could; I decided to visit Jacob. I don't know why and I don't know how, but I did, and it all went wrong.

Driving up to La Push was surprisingly easy, I felt confident Jake would here me out, he loves me right? I parked by the boundary, out of habit, and walked towards Jacob's house but I started to get nervous. What if he hated me? What if he never wanted to see me again? Had things changed over the last few months? All these questions gave me headache, I looked up and was surprised to see Quil, Embry and Jake messing around in the woods. Embry saw me and called a greeting, they all turned round to stare at me.

"Hey guys, I thought I'd just you know see how things are?"

"The bloodsucker's not here is he?" Jake snapped.

"No Edward has gone hunting with his family, they're all gone," he relaxed until he saw my swollen tummy; Quil was first in there, unfortunately.

"Hell Bella! What happened to you?" I gave him a look and turned to Jake.

"I told you this months ago... And anyway that's not why I'm here-"

"Why then? I thought the leech banned you," I smacked my forehead in exasperation.

"Edward's not here! He can't tell me what…" I was cut off by my phone, "hello?"

"Bella don't you dare, don't you even think about seeing that dog!" Edward's voice was seething and it scared me a little.

"Edward why do you never trust me?" I heard heavy breathing that put my skin on edge.

"Bella he'll hurt both of you, remember Alice can't see them," he spat out the last word like poison and I winced.

"Come on, like some harmless puppies are going to hurt me!" I smiled at the boys faces.

"Well if he lays one finger on you I'll-" Jake snatched the phone off me.

"You'll what? Come down here and suck our blood? I don't think so, now fuck off, Bella wanted to see us!" And with that he snapped the phone shut and tossed it on the ground.

"Hey just cause your mad don't take it out on my phone!" He laughed and gave it back.

"A bit touchy isn't he?" Embry asked shaking his head, I rolled my eyes and place one hand on my belly, I was feeling a little off today.

"Oh yeah, now about that," Jake nodded at my stomach, "what the hell is going on?" I really didn't want to explain it to Jake when he was being so thickheaded. "It's not his is it? I mean vampire don't have any balls-" I scowled at Jacob and cut him up.

"It only happens between vampires and humans, in fact it's only ever happened once before-" to my surprise Jake moved forwards and placed a large warm hand on my stomach, the baby pressed against it soaking in the warmth.

"Looks like it's cold in there. Are you sure that's it's OK for the baby to be that cold?" I was confused, Jacob was, concerned about this baby?

"It's been fine, I guess it's just nice, like having a Caribbean holiday if you live in Alaska or something..." It wasn't a very good example but Jake got it with his big goofy smile, he liked feeling needed by me.

"So," Quil started, "I have to shoot, I promised mum I'd help with the puppies. Bye guys, bye fattie," he smirked at his own comment.

"Oi Quil! How does it feel that you got your dog knocked up?" He growled and ran off, leaving Embry edging away uncomfortably.

"Just go!" Jacob growled and Em scarped after Quil. I stood there feeling awkward for a few seconds while we watched him go.

"Wanna go into the garage?" He finally asked, I nodded and we set off. In the garage was the rabbit Jake was finishing, it looked pretty good I had to admit.

"Not done yet?" He shook his head and then turned on me, his eyes were coal black and full of anger and I yelped out in shock.

I stumbled as I ran, trying hard not to fall on my face. What was that ache? Jake had chased me into the woods, until I got lost then disappeared from my sight. Tears streamed down my face, why was he doing this to me? I stopped to breathe and took my phone out, one missed call from Edward but no signal. The baby kicked out, at least I think it was a kick. I really hoped this wasn't happening, that I wasn't really lost with no way of finding anyone without being murdered by my best friend and going into labour.

"Why is this happening?" I sobbed hard sitting on the floor, no one is going to come. Carlisle had said there was no way I should deliver away from the hospital, he had even suggested a caesarean but I said no and now I was sitting in the middle of a wet, muddy woods far from any hospital, from anyone.
I heard rustling, looking up I saw Jacob's rusty form.

"Jake please! The baby I think it's…" I winced another, definite, contraction came, harder this time. "Look I didn't mean to hurt you but I didn't plan this baby anymore than you did thought it would happen; it just did! These things happen!" He snarled baring large, fang-like teeth. He slowly transformed back and knelt in front of me, his eyes burning with pure hatred.

"I don't care, you should never of let him take you in the first place!" He was breathing heavily, I cowered away scared witless, "I thought you were smarter than that! Isabella Swan I wish I hated you! But if I killed you it would be so you don't die by his hand, just so you don't waste away with them! Then I might pay Edward a little visit!" Tears ran down my face furiously, was this really happening? Jacob, my ray of sunshine, was he really going to kill me? He moved forward leaning most of his weight on my belly, I cried out in pain, then extraordinarily the baby snuggled into him. All in a second he shot away.

"What the hell?"

"I… I guess the baby li-likes y-you," I stammered, I was scared, in pain and freezing, but this movement was quite fascinating really.

"What do mean 'likes me'?"

"Well, I don't know!" I cried, maybe it was Jake's warmth, I didn't care all I wanted to do was get to a hospital and have Edward by my side immediately. "Jake, please! It hurts!" I yelped at the contractions were a lot closer and harder by now.

"No," he said bluntly.

"No? No? What the hell do you mean no!" I practically screamed at him.

"Well you're not going anywhere and even if you do give birth it won't matter because I'll kill that, that…" he couldn't find a word vile enough, "parasitic, leech, bloodsucking, hell-demon." My mouth fell open, was that how he saw my child? How he saw me? I could barely breathe through fear and pain but neither could I look away from Jacob as he transformed and for once I didn't recognise my best friend.
