* Oh- And I still don't own Twilight! :(Chapter 10:
BPOV
I toyed with the dark metal bauble, the tinkle of the chain sang in my ears. My left hand stroked up and over my belly, my right sat nestled neatly in the ledge of space between my breasts and my 'baby bump'.
Jacob stood up from the small brown couch at the foot of the hospital bed and walked closer to me, leant over and kissed my forehead. I put the locket down on my bedside table. Then I reached a hand up and stroked his cheek, and he drew back gently. "I won't be gone long, just till morning…"he assured me.
"I'll see you then…"I whispered, closing my eyes and breathing in his deep woodsy scent.
He brushed my shoulder length hair off my forehead and kissed me properly. Well, as properly as he had since he'd found out about the pregnancy…
He'd refused almost all contact, and at first I felt wounded by his rejection. It was not at all like my husband to be physically distant. I had secretly harbored a collection of deep set hurts.
It was only a few days after I woke that he finally explained to me what he felt. He had assumed my coma was directly due to his actions in the clearing, which I had personally believed as well, but apparently the doctors had ruled our 'attack' as only a partial catalyst for my coma as my body was lacking allot of iron and phosphorous and I was just generally just stressed out beyond rational comprehension.
Jacob had always been afraid of injuring me as a wolf, and actually seeing how he had affected me had made him so wary, that he had been trying to distance himself from me to protect me. From himself. I had, obviously, disregarded his defenses as false and completely unnecessary. But nothing I could say would dissuade him.
And so I was stuck with pecks and meaningful looks until my husband deemed me fit enough…
Jake straightened and blew me a kiss as he headed for the big double glass door. I waved him sadly off and only when he was out of sight did I reach out my hand to scoop up the little metal locket.
Engraved on the smooth surface were beautiful little runes and two words. I could not make them out at first, then as I scrubbed at the surface with the sleeve of my hoodie, the mud and grime peeled away to reveal that they weren't just words- but names.
I didn't recognize them, but somehow they seemed familiar… perhaps Alice had spoken of them before… Or maybe… maybe Edward…
On the surface of the palm sized locket was two ornately carved names; Peter and Charlotte.
Jacob POV
I left my Bellaby reluctantly… not wanting to abandon her for anything.
I was afraid for her… for my babies…
But I had no further excuse to be with her. She was stable and as healthy as she would get in a multiple pregnancy… I had to rejoin my pack.
Sam was, of course, completely understanding, He would be worried too if Emily was sick…
But I couldn't push it, because they had all come to see her, even Leah, and she had assured them she was fit as a fiddle. Unfortunately I had also gotten that speech too and I didn't buy it one bit. There was something wrong…
I pushed it from my mind as I started the car and sped away. I arrived at Sam's place just five minutes later, just in time for briefing. Kicking my shoes off quickly before I shredded them, I phased as I stepped out onto the flat. Sam looked up at me, Quill and Jared too. They all picked my brain for the news on Bella, on Embry didn't try to look. I think it scared him to see someone I loved like that… Because it was all too easy to imagine someone he loved like that…
Jacob, good to have you back.
Good to b back I answered the unison announcement.
Quill nuzzled my shoulder as Seth walked up behind Paul, still human and still bandaged across his shoulder.
My surprise mingled with that of my pack members as we all turned to see him sit beside Paul silently, not phasing.
What's wrong with him?Quill asked frantically.
Can't he phase? Jared demanded.
Why isn't he healed? I asked amongst the din.
Where is Leah! Sam demanded suddenly and we all froze at his Alpha tone.
Here; she said as she phased somewhere we all couldn't see her.
What is wrong with your brother Leah? Sam asked as she made her way towards us from not too far away.
She chuckled mentally and we could all her smirk; which one?I smiled, but Sam was not impressed; this is no time for jokes Clearwater!
She sighed and sped up; I'll tell you in person.
Or at least in wolf, Jared laughed at his own joke.
It took Leah a good five minutes to jog over to us and by the time she arrived, Sam was briefing us over our attack on the surviving male of the coven we had taken down nearly three months ago in the clearing.
We always knew there were two males, killing a female was just a bonus, but now we need to track and destroy the remaining threat; Sam announced to us where we sat in a rough semi circle in a small dry patch in the wood north of the reserve.
Yeah…; I thought. I was going to enjoy this…
Ok- there it is… please review!
