A/N: So sorry this took forever. I'm having the worst week and it was really hard getting to this. I've been mad tired and there's so much drama going on! But anyway, on with the story.

Jacob pulled the crying girl to her feet and desperately wiped the tears out of her beautiful brown eyes. The worry lines on his face deepened when she cried into his neck. He felt completely terrible and wanted desperately to just protect her from the heartbreak like this, but that was next to impossible. He pulled her face up and rested his forehead against hers. Her breathing calmed for a few seconds as she took in deeper breaths.

"Bella just breathe." He murmured against her skin. "Come on, your coming back to my house." Jacob added as he took her hand in his. Bella looked up at him and nodded her head. He reassured her by squeezing her hand and then disappearing behind a tree. A few seconds later Bella saw shadows jumping around behind the foliage and then Jacob returning in his wolf form. He butted his head against her back lovingly. She sniffled but cracked a small smile at him. Slowly she pulled herself onto his back and nestled herself down. Jacob was so soft she couldn't help but feel so safe and comforted. As he ran through the forest Bella stared up at the trees that were zooming by them, they blurred together making her quite dizzy. She ran her fingers over her chest to feel the muscles again. It was unbelievable to feel her body change so suddenly. Usually they went unnoticed but now….now it was almost frightening. Bella flipped over on her stomach and ran her fingers through his fur as he sped up. Soon they reached the Black's house again and the small brunette jumped off of her boy friends back.

"Thanks Jake…." Bella mumbled before sniffling. She ran her fingers under eyes to collect some fallen tears. Jacob whimpered and licked Bella's cheek with his tongue. The warm contact of his wet tongue made her give Jacob a sad smile. He was satisfied that she even attempted to be happy. "Jake go. Go turn back so we can get inside." The werewolf squinted his eyes at her before rubbing his damp nose against her neck. "JAKE THAT'S COLD." She screeched as he ran behind some bushes. Bella wiped her neck with her hand and let out a sigh. Before she knew it, Jacob was right by her side in human form.

"That was cold ya jerk." She murmured tiredly before giving him a slight push and walking towards the house. Jacob let out a small laugh before running after her and catching her in his arms. Bella let out a surprise gasp as he twirled her waist around in his arms and planted a kiss on her lips. She struggled against his arms before succumbing to his lips. He was persistent and rested one hand on her waist and one on her cheek. When he pulled back they both stared at each other with such intensity that Jacob couldn't help but kiss her again and again and again. One kiss to make each bad thing that happened that day disappear. But he knew that he would never be enough. Bella rested her head on his shoulder and sucked in some more tears as Jacob stroked her hair.

"Let's go inside." He said in a whisper. She just nodded her head and blindly followed him into the small house. A woozy feeling past through her stomach and she quickly covered her mouth with her hand. They entered Jacob's bedroom and Bella immediately took a seat on his bed.

"I feel really dizzy Jake." She whispered as she fell back onto his bed.

"Don't worry Bells, your body is still adjusting. You won't feel quite….normal until three days. You're body still thinks this is a harmful infection." Jacob stated as he pulled the covers back gently.

"And this isn't an infection?" She questioned while reaching over to get under the covers.

"Well it's not harmful….I mean its enhancing our bodies. You don't think that's a good thing?"

"It's making me a monster Jake. How can this be a good thing?"

"We're not monsters. I like to think of us as supernatural bad ass protectors."

"Protectors of what?" Bella questioned as she leaned her head down on the pillow. Jacob just shrugged and slipped in between the sheets with her.

"Quileute land I suppose?" He said while pulled a mountain of blankets over there already warm bodies. She snuggled into his chest and ran the palms of her hands over his chest and to his neck. Bella's hand turned his head to the side so she could kiss him softly on the lips. He protectively wrapped his arms around her.

"Night Bella. I love you." He whispered before closing his eyes and completely relaxing his body.

"Night Jacob." She whispered.

"No 'I love you too.'?" He asked while opening one eye.

"I feel uncomfortable saying it so soon. I'll say it when I mean it, can we just leave it at that?" Jacob sighed and let out a breath.

"Sure sure. But I do love you."

"I know…"

And with that the two succumbed to the deepest sleep each has ever been in.

The next morning Bella awoke to an empty bed. Immediately her heart jumped and her brown eyes scanned the room but it was definitely empty. Getting to her feet she crept over to the door and peeped her head out the door. The smell of pancakes and bacon greeted her nostrils and then she realized just how hungry she truly was.

"Jacob?" She called out before tip toeing around the corner. Wiping her still tired eyes she saw Jacob standing in the kitchen with two frying pans in each hand.

"You cook?" She questioned before walking over to him and stealing a piece of bacon off a plate.

"HEY! Wait till everything's done. And yes I cook. When you eat like us it's be a good idea to learn how to cook." He smiled sheepishly after that and poured the finished pancakes onto there plates. She smiled at him…a real genuine smile for the first time since they woke up yesterday which made Jacobs heart melt.

"I love your smile…." He murmured before leaning over to kiss her cheek gently. Bella blushed and took a seat at the kitchen table.

"Where's Billy?"

"Um he went to your house to comfort Charlie…." The mentioning of her fathers name made her get a sick feeling in he stomach again. Jacob looked over and was immediately by her side. "Don't worry. You know things will get better. I promise….no one hates you for this okay? Even the bloo—Cullens still care about you." Bella smiled at that and reached up to clear her eyes from tears, but Jacob caught her wrists and did it himself.

"Thank you…"

"Don't worry about it, now come on….lets eat." The two at in silence just staring at there plates as they ate. Jacob caught a few glimpses of her, but remained quiet. He wanted her to relax today. When they finished, Jacob got up to do the dishes but Bella stopped him.

"Let me--"

"No no, let me."

"No me." She argued.

"No my dear, let me."

"Jake….come on. At least let me dry them." He sighed and then agreed. It was just like Bella to want to do everything. As they did the dishes, Jacob looked over at her and smiled.

"So today….I was thinking going to the beach. I mean you did blow me off yesterday…." He said trying to sound hurt. Bella just laughed which made the werewolf grin at her. Her laugh was just so…lyrical.

"Mm fine. But I need to get a bathing su—"

"Sisters….remember?"

"Fine. But I feel weird wearing her clothes."

"We can go back later and get some clothes for you…" Bella shrugged at the idea and hoped up on the counter as Jacob finished the last dish. Bella followed Jacob into his room and he threw a red bikini at her.

"It's like you already knew I'd say yes to this…." She said sarcastically as she walked out of the room and in the direction of the bathroom.

"Well it's not like you can say no to this face." He said with a laugh as he rummaged his room for a pair of swimming trunks. Bella slipped on the bikini and stared at herself in the mirror, her new body looked even more different now. Her eyes scanned her chest and legs and she let out a sigh. Her fingers ran over her jaw line and down her neck. New muscles just continued to grow. It was amazing! Slowly she walked into Jacobs bedroom and he let out a choked gasp.

"Jesus Bella….you look. Oh my damn." Bella just rolled her eyes at him and walked closer to him. "Did I tell you that I love you? Cause I do….I really really do….." The young girl laughed at that and reached for his hand. She lead him into the kitchen and to the front door. Jacob grabbed the towels and they soon left the house.

"So feeling adventurous?" he asked as they made there way to the beaches of La Push. Jacob was determined to clear Bella's mind of yesterday and force her to relax a little.

"Hmm….I guess so. Why not."

"Okay, cliff diving it is then."

"Haha I am NOT doing that."

"You just said you would. Don't be a liar Miss Bella." He said with a smirk. She gaped at him and then hit him in the chest.

"Fine…but small cliff."

"Deal." He said as he took her hand and walked the rest of the way to the beach. When they arrived, Bella bit her lower lip. Looking at the giant cliff made her feel sick but she sucked it up.

"Come on." He led her up the side of the overhang and then put there towels down. Jacob pulled her a little higher up the cliff and to the spot where they would be jumping from.

"It's easy Bells. Don't be so scared." Bella groaned and stared down at the dark water. She stepped back a little and stared at the horizon instead. It made her feel a bit safer. Jacob kissed her cheek and then dove into the water. His body was perfectly straight as he made contact with the water. It was a soft splash, and she could see his body curve up as he resurfaced the water. The sickness again began to expand over Bella. Her eyes began to hurt and before she knew it, she slipped off the edge of the cliff and into the bitter cold of the Pacific Ocean.

A/N: I told you I'm having a horrible week, so I'm really sorry if some things don't make sense. And again, I apologize for the delay! Review please.
