Sorry! I've posted the chapter six again…dumb me….but I quickly corrected it!
Thanks to everyone who is reading this!!! I'm sorry I took an entire week to post it. I'll tell you the truth. I've written until chapter 12 so far, but I only post a knew one when a finish another. This way I can post continually. But the last chapter I've written took me more time. And I'll warn you… be prepared for imprinting on the next 2 or 3 chapters… how Jake and Bella will deal with it? Is his love strong enough to fight it? And who will imprint on who? Wait for the next chapters!
I hope you like it. Let me know what did you think about it! ;) Reviews are more than welcomed. I don't like asking for reviews, but they're kind of inspiring do you know? And don't hesitate on giving me advices for the story. I have a storyline already made up in my mind, but I can change things a little bit to make it more interesting.

7- Where do babies come from?
Almost three weeks passed by since Jasper told us all about what he thought that was going on. He told me about his past and the war techniques he was so familiar with. I understood why he had so many problems about controlling his thirst. Every member of the Cullen family created by Carlisle learned to control their bloodlust since the beginning. And even though some of them slipped sometimes, they always had each other. Alice didn't have the same origin, but ..well…she was something else. But Jasper… he spent years feeding from human blood and battling for territory. His slight scars were the proof of how hard it was for him. When I wished to become a vampire, my biggest fear was being an uncontrolled newborn vampire. I wanted to have my emotions in control, I wanted to feel guilty about craving a person life. I can't even imagine what would be like if I had to deal with the terrified feelings from my prey, like Jasper does.
Jacob sat next to me, always breathing from his mouth, so he could avoid the vampire's scent a little. But the green color on his face told me that it wasn't working very well. He only opened his mouth to speak once, to explain his theory about the missing clothes. Jasper agreed with him and said it was a very usual way to track somebody. And it matched with the murders and disappearances that were happening at Seattle. Edward kept blaming himself, like always, because he lost Victoria's track on Brazil. Alice didn't have any clear vision, maybe because this vampire was doing her/his best job at changing rapidly of decision or maybe because the wolves would be involved. Until now, we didn't know exactly if it is Victoria in fact or not. The pact didn't catch her smell for a while and we still had the Volturi to worry about. But I felt it was her.
Anyway, it has been a tense period. The Cullens and the pack have been training together for a while, with some resistant members must I say, like Rose, Leah and Paul. Beside this werewolf/vampire madness, I still had some human commitments I had to attend to classes, taking exams, SAT, working at the Newton's, being hit by Mike every time he could, receiving cold glares from Jessica and Lauren…well, life.
To make it all worse, Jake and I had almost no time to stay together. He was always running patrols and always exhausted. He came once in a while during the night, but since I didn't want Charlie knowing about us yet, it was difficult to be together around him…since we're a lot…hmm…touchy about each other. Billy didn't know as well, but he had serious suspicions. I could tell from the way he looked at me.
I can say that Charlie was more than happy when I told him that Edward and I broke up. At first he was worried about my feelings, but when I told him I was the one who made the decision, he almost jumped of joy. Pathetic scene, by the way. I know he loves Jacob, but I want to wait this whole being bait thing to over.
I came back from school this one day, really tired of all the tumbles I've made during Gym class. Everything went bad that day. I fucking forgot to do a paper that counted one third of my History grade (sorry about the cursing…but I'm really pissed off). Thanks God, Edward used his charm on the teacher (Eeew!) and helped me to extend my deadline. I had this major fight with Lauren over nothing. I mean, I couldn't stand her ironical glares and whispered comments when she saw that Edward and I were not together anymore. I could have held me back as always, but I was not in the mood. To make things worse, Edward in attempt to help me, came behind me, grabbed my waist and planted a full kiss on my mouth.
Of course he had other intentions as well, because he thinks this choice I've made is temporary and he keeps saying to me that he'll wait me forever, that he wants me to experience human things, blablabla amen. He said he would be good if we kissed for the last time. Why the hell can't he keep his promises? God, doesn't he get how annoying this can get? He keeps trying to protect me all the time, putting me in a pedestal, like I was a crystal doll and besides. Besides, he has this entire martyr thing that creeps me out now. The worse is that I love him and I want him to be happy. But he keeps holding himself to me. I can't say I'll be completely happy when he moves on, of course I'll be a little jealous. But I wish he found someone… soon.
Well, at least I can say the kiss thing made Lauren shut up her mouth and made some little pixie quite happy. Ugh.
But thanks God, when I arrived at home I saw the black Rabbit parked in front of my house. All my bad memories about this day simply had gone away. I haven't seen him in the past four days and my body ached for a warm hug.
I entered my house and I found Jake and Charlie watching some game. Jacob looked at me and gave one of his big, white, sunshine like smiles and swept me into his arms, giving me a kiss on my lips. For one moment I forgot where I was. I heard a certain ….hem … and I remembered of Charlie, across the room. Shit. I wanted to tell him, not show him. Great.
I looked at him and he had this mischievous grin on his face.
"Dad…I…", I tried to put words on my thoughts, but nothing came out. I wanted to wait a little until my story with Edward cooled off. Jacob wasn't very happy about it, but he couldn't say no to me.
"Thanks God Bells. I was wondering how long it would take you to realize how much this kid over here cares about you…he has been head over heels for a long time…" he said chucking.
"See? I said he looovesss me…." Jacob said smiling bright at Charlie.
"Jake, I still have to talk with you…come with me to the kitchen..", Charlie said with a serious tone on his voice. I almost gave Jacob a triumphant smile, because, he thought he wouldn't have to worry about Charlie. So I said, "See? He looooves me more…". Jacob rolled his eyes and I could see from behind his tense shoulders. He knew Charlie for years and he was like his second son. But I was still Charlie's only daughter. And let's say it's not very cool, or safe, date the sheriff's daughter. You know bullets, guns and all.
I zapped through the TV channels, but curiosity was killing me. They were there for almost twenty minutes! They were supposed to have that talk "What are your intentions with my daughter?" and it shouldn't take that long. Come on, it's Jake; Charlie shouldn't have to worry at all. Thanks God Charlie didn't have a werewolves hearing, because a tiptoed until the kitchen's frame door. At first, I was listening some whispers and took a chance to look inside. Charlie's back was facing the door and I could see Jacob's face in a deep red tone, fidgeting nervously the sugar jar. What could have made Jacob look like this?
I focused my attention on Charlie and when I heard what he was saying, I almost faint.
"You know Jacob, I know my Bells is responsible and I am trusting you. But you're too young and I don't need to any grandchildren right now. I can wait some years. So please, if you guys…hmm…you know….please … use protection…and…..well…for now that's it. And, although I'm sure you and Billy are quite close, you can talk to me always, you know that kid?" He was having the sex talk with Jacob??? Come on!!! I was hoping him to get all crabby in the future when he find out and he was having sex talk when I present Jacob as my boyfriend? He was worse than Renée…where the hell did it come from?
Before I could run back to my place, Charlie saw me. I must have been red as a tomato.
"Err…were you listening? Well, at least you saved me the embarrassment to repeat all that to you…and you two, take care…now I've to work. See you kids." I heard him mumbling something like "I'll kill Renee for making me doing this… "
I looked over Jacob, my confident Jacob, he was smiling shyly now. He laughed softly while he patted his lap for me to seat. I went over him and I was still unable to say anything. Renee asked him to do that? I haven't told her exactly about Jacob and I, but maybe I let slip anything in one of ours e-mails. Either way, she has always been very perceptive, although at first sight she looks like an inattentive person. But come on… couldn't we skip this part? It's not like we hadn't have this conversation before.
"Sooo…. Sex talk?" I asked, although it was obvious. I didn't know what else to say.
"Yeah…the pack won't let me live another day after this…", he said looking to his hands. It was almost too much fun seeing him like this.
"Creepy…", I said shivering. He laughed and released the air that he had been holding all the time. "Don't need to tell me…. so… I guess he's quite …hmmm… welcoming about that huh? When the time comes, I was kind of waiting guns and that stuff…"
"Yeah…creepy! Thanks God he didn't talked to me alone…", I said. I was really relieved.
"Coward!", he said pointing his index finger at my face and smiling sarcastically
"Coward? I think this talk should happen only once in a lifetime. And mine had already happened a long time ago. Traumatizing." I said raising my hands.
"Oh yeah? Tell me about it! At least you hadn't this talk with your father-in-law….". I guess he was right after all. Talking about this with Billy would be almost as embarrassing as having it with Charlie. And let's emphasize the word almost. Charlie still would be worse.
"Yeah, but imagine your mom showing a condom, a banana, some birth control pills at the age of thirteen. Completely ruined my pregnant Barbie children's play…or eating bananas innocently… well, at least Charlie have nothing to worry about. I've been quite prepared…" I said, remembering my birth control pills on my computer desk drawer. My mom started to buy me this when I was around fifteen. It's funny because I haven't even kissed at that age. But hey! She wouldn't be Renée without her amazing capacity to make me blush like a shrimp.
I looked at Jacob's face and I his eyes were on the sugar jar, again. Why would he be acting like this? He glanced at me quickly and I asked him. "What?"
"Huh? Nothing…I just…you know I'm a virgin right? I was wondering…", he stopped to speak before he could complete the crucial question. In fact, I didn't quite know he was a virgin. I suspected that, sure, but after his growth spurt, he could have all of the La Push girls at his feet. And Fork's girls as well.
"Wondering if I am not?" I asked him.
"Yeah… I mean… you're eighteen… you probably had some boyfriends back at Phoenix…although you never told me anything about it..." he was almost looking like a five years old kid asking his mom if he could eat candy during the week. Sweet.
" Well, only had Edward in my life ..so…". Before I could end my sentence, he looked at me with wide open eyes, a disgusted look in them and stared to tremble beneath me.
"He…you…" I understood what caused him this fright.
" No, no, no… I only had him in my life as boyfriend… we never… I tried…but he said it was too dangerous and all." And now he was really shaking and put me off of his lap. Shit, couldn't I think before speak? Why don't I have a filter? Unnecessary information, you know?
"YOU TRIED? God Bella, do you know what danger you were planning to put yourself in? One wrong move and you'd be gone!". I put my hands on his chests.
"Hey… calm down… he was my boyfriend…it should be normal…but guess what? He agreed with you! And I'm not regret we didn't have sex…I mean…thanks to him I can have my first time with someone I love more than anything the world…you know… the one who is my sun". I've never been so direct about these stuffs with Edward, but Jacob and I felt so natural together and I loved him so much that I didn't care. I felt like I was his equal and that built a new found confidence in me. And knowing for sure his first time would be with me as well was flattering and made everything even more beautiful. This last part seemed to calm him down, because his eyes were showing only love and devotion. He took my face between his hands and kissed my lips gently.
"Yeah, someday I'll thank him…" he said sarcastically. " And I'm glad you feel that way… and I'm glad you think about it too…" he said chucking.
"Yeah….when you have a hot boyfriend with large shoulders, perfectly sculpted abdomen, it is hard not to think about it…." I said kissing his neck. I was feeling no shame to speak with him like this. Weird.
"Same thing on this side, you know? A gorgeous, hot, curvy girlfriend has the same effect….actually, since I'm a teenage hormonal werewolf, I'm kind of climbing on a soapy tile wall, with clogs, it has been a while now…" I laughed hysterically about the way he described it. I completely understand him.
"I forgot to tell you! Three more guys phased. Actually, two kids and one guy. Collin and Brady, they're about thirteen. They also had ancestors who were part of the old pack. But this guy Joshua, well, he's nineteen and moved to La Push last month with his mom and his sister. He doesn't know who his father is. Just like Embry. But, by the name, Sam thinks he may be his brother. His mother is not Quileute at all and she doesn't tell anyone about her past. Anyway, we'll have a bonfire Friday to tell them officially the stories and all. Are you coming?" He asked.
"Wow… you spoke quite fast… thirteen? Isn't it too young?" I felt terribly guilty about dragging those kids into this mess.
"Yeah, but since more threat is coming, it makes more wolves to came out… it's the largest pack ever…by the way, I'll have to train them this week, so I'll come by night. It's ok with you?"
"Sure, I'll go after work. And of course you can come. Whenever you want"
"Wow… free pass? I kind of can get used to that…"
"As you didn't have this before. "
"Do you want to do something? Maybe watching some movies?"
" Movies? Yeah, good idea. Not that I will pay any attention to it. I have to make up for all the lost time…"
"Girl, what happened to you? What you did to my shy Bella?"
"She had her day off today."
"Hmm… I think I can take some advantage of this."
"Oh yes… you should."
Reviews???
And if there's anyone interested about being my beta, I'd be glad!
