Chapter seven

Nessie's POV

"What's wrong with him, common, what's wrong with him" Jacob was almost shouting now as Carlisle seemed to be looking for the right way to tell Jacob what was going on. Me, i just couldn't stop crying, so scared, frightened for my beautiful little boy.

"Jacob, you need to calm down, shouting isn't going to help" Carlisle paused as if looking for the right way to phrase his thoughts "The process you went through when you became a werewolf, you went through a vary of different symptoms. You became angry, you skin became very hot and you healed at an amazing rate, well as you know Nessie grew very quickly but this has obviously is a completely different manor".

"So what has this got to do with anything, Nessie grew up quickly so what, that has nothing to do with Billy" Jacob couldn't seem to be able to put two and two together and work out what was going on so i plucked up the courage to tell him myself what had happened.

"The day you left, i got a phone call from the school, about Billy" Jacob took a step back so that he could look at me properly "They were doing cooking and one of the teachers left the bread knife on the table with the handle hanging over the edge, Billy sat down and dropped the knife on his leg, cut himself pretty badly".

"He got cut! Aren't they supposed to take better care of the children than that" Jacob was furious and looked as though he was going to morph right there in the kitchen. I put my small white hand on his arm to calm him and he looked down at me, trying to stop himself from shaking so excessively.

"That's not it, we're worried about how quickly Billy's body is changing" Carlisle put in, looking at me to continue.

"I went up to the school and they had a wet flannel on Billy's cut but he seemed fine, actually quite confused if you ask me, then i looked at his leg" I stopped, a lump rising in my throat.

"And!" Jacob put his hands on my shoulders, his eyes wide with a tear sliding over the edge.

"There was nothing there, just a scar" Jacobs brows furrowed in confusion "He had healed himself, just like you do. I picked him up and told the teachers i was taking him to the hospital, they hadn't seen yet" my voice quivered and a sob was released from my throat "His skin was ice cold, it wasn't like ours anymore and when i took him to see Carlisle he got really angry and told me he wanted to go back to school" i couldn't go on.

"Jacob, Billy is changing, he's becoming like you but we don't know in what way. His body isn't growing like normal, it is getting bigger rapidly and we don't know if he's going to change any time soon" Carlisle made more sense of it than i had and Jacob rocked back on his heels like he was trying to stop himself from falling.

Jacobs POV

It made sense of course. I hadn't touched him when i arrived and i hadn't noticed how he'd grown because my mind had been trying to unravel what was going on with Bella and Edward. My eyes shut tight for a moment, and i tried to think about a way to explain all of it but couldn't. My son was changing, and i didn't know how long he had left to live, it was just like Nessie all over again.

Quite short but i hope it is effective, what do you think?
