I do NOT and never have owned any of the Twilight characters!!!

So I was going to stay with Edward (or my 'Baby Daddy' as Charlie had called him) and his family. Maybe there was a bright side to this. Maybe there wasn't. Either way, I was glad Edward as with me. I rolled over, my eyes slowly fluttering open. I saw that my cloak said it was 11:30 a.m. I was late for school! I was ready to jump up when very cool arms wrapped around me. I struggled to free myself from his strong grip. "Edward! We're late!" I finally said. "Bella, you're not going back to that school." He said firmly. It was more of a command, actually. "What? Why?" I asked quietly. "I don't trust those humans anymore. I'll tutor you. Or Emmett can, Jasper, ever Alice. Besides, it's your 1st senior year, and there's only 3 months left." Too tired to argue, I wrapped my arms around Edward as he kissed me lightly. He pulled away oh too soon, just as always. "That never fails to turn you bright red." He said. "Hungry?" He asked. As if to answer, my stomach gave a loud, long growl. "Um...I guess so. I said. Edward helped me up and we walked down stairs.

"Good morning, Bella!" said Esme, her voice as jolly as ever. I gave her a weak smile as she handed me a plate with eggs, bacon, and a small glass of orange juice. Edward and I sat at the table in the hardly used dining room as I ate. When I was finished, Esme took my plate. "Was it good?" she asked. I nodded. "Extremely, especially for someone who doesn't eat." Esme giggled as she took my plate into the kitchen. "You know, sometimes I really wonder how being in a house full of vampires never creeps you out." Emmett said with a huge grin. Emmett was, of course, one of my favorite Cullen's. He was like the big brother I'd never had; only if he was hungry enough, I could be his next meal.

Edward and I stood up as we headed towards his silver Volvo. "Where are we going?" I asked, suddenly filled with curiosity. "Well…" Edward said as he lifted (yeah, not 'helped'. 'Lifted') me into the passenger's seat. Edward hurried to get into the drivers seat. He seemed tense. Even more than usual.

We drove for only a few short minutes before we arrived in our meadow. This meadow would always have a special place in my heart. This is where Edward had finally opened up to me, and let me see who he and his family really were. I got out of the car and Edward followed me, his arm loosely around my waist. He pulled a small box out of his pocket. My eyes opened wide as he slid down onto one knee. He took my hand. "Isabella Swan, I have been waiting for a full blown century for you to come. I love you more than you could ever imagine. Will-"Edward was suddenly cut off by my cell phone ringing. I blushed. "Um…hold that thought." I looked at the caller ID to see that Charlie was calling me. Hesitantly, I opened the phone. "Isabella?" He asked his voice strange. "Charles?" I said back, no emotion in my voice. "I have some tragic news." He said. I could tell that he had been, or was, crying. "What is it?" I croaked. "Well…Billy…Billy Black…was down at La Push…alone…and somebody…some strange, heartless, bastard….Isabella…he was shot. We got to him as fast as we could…but…" Charlie's voice broke off as he started crying. I covered my mouth with my hand, shocked. "Charles, this is NOT funny! Don't lie to me! This is sick! You're lying! Tell me you're lying!" But he had hung up. I dropped my phone as I ran to Edward, not caring if I tripped or not. He held me close, his cold skin somewhat soothing. "Bella, love, what's wrong? What happened? Are you ok?" Edward continued to bombard me with questions that I wasn't ready to answer. Finally, I looked up to, my wet hair sticking to my flushed cheeks. "Bella-"I cut him off. "I have to get to La Push!" I shouted. Edward's eyes grew wide. "Why? Has something happened?" He asked. I nodded. "Billy…shot…d…dead…" My voice cracked on the last word. Edward gave me the keys to his Volvo as he took off running back home.

I forced the keys in the ignition as I drove probably 100 mph down the twisted road. If it were really me driving, I would've crashed into something weird, like a squirrel, or a trashcan. But I made it to the Black's house in 1 piece.

I didn't knock before I came in. I simply ran up to Jake's room, afraid of how he might be feeling. I opened the door, and there was Jacob, big bad wolf Jacob Black, crouched onto the floor. He was obviously holding back tears. Jacob looked at me, his eyes filled with anger and grief at the same time. "So you heard." He said, his voice lower than usual. I nodded as I sat beside him.

"I've got nowhere to go, no one left. My sisters are never around, my parents are dead. As far as I know, I don't even have any relatives to whine to." He looked over to me. "I'm a 16 ½ yr. old guy who's the only one who can carry on my family name. Bella, I am so STUPID! He wanted to go down to La Push. I drove him, said 'Love ya, Dad' and just left. God, if I could've been there, I could've done something, I-"He put his head on the bed that was directly behind us. He looked like he could've exploded any minute. "Jacob…it's ok to cry. It's just me." I said softly, trying to sooth him. Then again, how as I supposed to sooth a 16 ½ yr. old werewolf? Jacob looked at me, his eyes soft. "I know. But I'm trying not to. I want to be strong, Bella. I…" I wrapped my arms around him as he broke down. He was crying with no sign of ever being able to stop. I held him tighter as he wrapped his arms lightly around my waist. "Bella, he's really gone." He whispered. I nodded, trying to think of what I should say next. "Jacob, this sucks, ok? This really, really sucks. Billy is gone, my dad hates me and Edward, my mom's going to hate me soon enough and I'm pregnant. But you know what I've learned from all this? Life really is a fairy tale. Can you imagine trying to explain my life? 'Hello. My name is Bella Swan. My boyfriend is a vampire. My best friend is a werewolf and what the hell! Maybe my mom's a leprechaun! I don't know anymore! But you listen to me Jacob Black, you WILL survive this! I promise! No! I swear! Jacob, you are strong!" Jacob looked up to me. Suddenly, he half smiled. "Maybe your dad's a wizard, too." He chucked quietly. I smiled too. This was the Jacob I knew and loved. He wouldn't try to make people morn for him. He would just make it seem as if he was ok, and his dad was in a better place. My hand slid down to my stomach. "You see, baby? Uncle Jacob will survive this." I giggled as Jacob blushed. "U…un…Uncle Jacob?" He asked with a twinkle in his eye. I nodded. "Well it's not just going to call you Mr. Black!" Jacob stood up and helped me up as well. "Jacob, where will you go?" He shrugged. "Bella, I'll stay here in La Push. Maybe move in with a friend. And then, when I'm old enough, I'll buy this place back so I can tall my niece and/or nephew all about it." He smiled as he looked towards my stomach. "So you're really ok with this, Jacob?" Jacob nearly burst out into laughter. "Of course not! But I mine as well make the best of it!" I hugged Jacob once more before I got back into the Volvo and drove away.

_______Time Jump: 2 ½ Hours_______

I sat next to my phone, which still lay in the same spot I'd left it. Edward didn't know that I'd retuned, so I was debating on if I should text him or not. Finally, I picked up my phone and nearly texted Edward, but he was next to me before I could even start. "Is Jacob ok?" He asked, his voice as well as his eyes serious. I shrugged. "For now, I guess. The funeral's on Saturday." I responded, hopping I didn't sound to sad. "Well today is…Thursday?" He asked. I nodded as he picked me up to carry me back to the Volvo. On the way there, which only took roughly 2 minutes, I started crying. Billy had been the first person I'd talk to in Forks on my very 1st day. He was smiling and in the best of spirits, so I assumed he'd be around for a long time. But I had to do what Jacob was doing. I had to suck it up and just accept one simple, but harsh fact: Billy Black was dead.
