I woke up tiredly. I rubbed my eyes and stretched for a moment. I looked at the clock; it was two in the morning. Right beside the clock was a small note:

Bella,

I have gone hunting with Alice, Esme, and Carlisle. The others should be able to keep you company today until I get back.

I love you,

Edward.

I yawned and stood up from the bed. Now that I was up, I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep anytime soon. I walked to the edge of the crib and saw that the babies were still sleeping. Thank the heavens for giving me three babies who could get through an entire night without crying. I stroked each cheek and thought about how lucky I was to have the family I wanted. I had more than I deserved; A Greek god for a husband, and three beautiful children that I wasn't supposed to have.

I sighed. All of a sudden, I heard a loud knock at the window. I squeaked in fright and whipped around. No one was there. Just then a small rock hit the window. I ran over and threw it open. Down on the ground, Jake was leaning on the side of the house.

"Jake!"I practically yelled in surprise. He jumped up, "Keep it down, Bella!" Then in a split second he was climbing one of the trees right outside the window and leaping in. I was stunned, "Jake, you shouldn't be here!" He smiled and laughed, "Oh come on, and I've been waiting for that bloodsucker to finally leave."

I couldn't contain my smile and threw my arms around him, hugging him fiercely. I pulled away, "Jake, you can't be here. If the others found out you could be in big trouble; from both sides." I merely shrugged. "I needed to see you," he said softly. I puffed out a breath. He laughed again. I finally sat back down on the bed, "Was it me you came to see?" He sat down next to me.

"I'm sorry," he said. I turned away from him, "For what?" He grabbed my hand, "If I hurt you. You know I didn't mean for this to happen."

"No," I said turning back to him, "This shouldn't have happened. Not only can I figure out if this is possible or not by the fact that my children are part vampire, but me… I just didn't want it to be my daughter."

"I'm sorry," he said again, "But I think I can answer the first one." I looked at him in the eyes, "Then how?" He looked down at his hands on his lap. "Well, I talked to Sam about it. He says that he didn't think it was possible either. But hey, Leah became a werewolf. Why can't I imprint?" I shrugged. He continued, "Sam thinks that I have only imprinted on the human side of her, which would make sense. But, say if she became a full fledge vampire…"

"Then what?" I asked slowly. He shrugged again, "Then it's like it never happened. It's like the imprint never existed. But don't you go telling that to your bloodsucker," he said turning toward me. I nodded and swallowed, "Jacob, there isn't a guarantee that Emmaretta will stay human. Carlisle made that clear to me." He nodded slowly.

I realized while having this talk, that if Jacob imprinted, he didn't love me anymore; At least not in the same way. I looked down into my lap. He finally turned back to me, "Can I at least see her? Then, if you want Bella, I will never go near her again. I know that might make things easier for you."

I felt some tears slip down my cheeks, "I don't know what the future holds just yet. But I think it's for the better if you see her; At least now instead of never." He smiled at me.

I stood up and walked to the crib. I reached down and slowly picked Emmaretta up. Jake didn't throw his hands up right away, he seemed nervous, "How do I hold her?" I rolled my eyes, "Sit down," I said.

He sat on the bed. "Now hold out your arms," I instructed. He did so and I placed Emmaretta into his arms. I sat down beside him and moved his arms so that he was cradling her correctly. Finally he relaxed and looked into her face. He didn't smile, frown, no expression. He just stared at her as if looking for the answer to something.

Then a slow but steady smile spread across his face. "She's beautiful," he said quietly. I nodded slowly. We sat there for only a few minutes before Jake finally looked back up. He smiled hesitantly at me and gently passed Emmaretta back into my arms, "I have to go. Your blood- I mean, your family will probably catch my scent if I stay here any longer. Goodbye, Bells." And with one last smile, he jumped through the window.

"Bye," I breathed after him. I stood up and put Emmaretta back in the crib with her brothers. She snuggled in between them before going still. I let out a breath I didn't even know I had been holding.

I was about to go back to bed when I heard a knock on the door. I walked over and opened it, it was Edward. He walked inside but he wasn't smiling. I stared at him for a moment. "Okay," I said, "How long were you listening out there?"

"The entire time," he replied hardly. I gazed at the floor and didn't make eye contact. He was angry, I knew that, but why didn't he come in when he had the chance and tell Jacob to leave? I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up. He was still staring at me and I started to feel uncomfortable under his intense gaze. Then he reached forward and embraced me. I lay my head on his shoulder and breathed in his scent.

We pulled away and placed his arms around my waist, locking me in place. I didn't look at him. He finally breathed out, "He won't hurt her, you said?" I stood still. He continued, "I read his mind. It's amazing how much love he was feeling for her; for you both." I tried to pull away, but he held me to him and I mentally scowled.

"I'm sorry," he finally said. I looked up into his face, "For what?" He frowned, as if he were feeling guilty, "I hadn't realized how much this meant to both of you. I of all people should know what it feels like to be torn away from someone you love. I won't do that to any of my children." I felt tears spring to my eyes, but before I could wipe them away Edward lifted my chin and kissed me.

It was one of the most passionate kisses I had ever gotten from him. My lips moved with his. He didn't pull away like I was half expecting him to. He pulled me to his chest until we were all but glued together. He spun me around so that my back was against the wall. Our eyes were closed and he was kissing me with a new force, with an edge of desperation to it.

I still felt the last of my tears drifting down my cheeks, but I didn't care. I was caught up in everything. He traced me body with his hands until he came down to my legs. I had to remind myself to breath. He gently but quickly hitched my knee to his waist with one hand while slipping his other around my back and under my night shirt. His face drifted down to the hollow of my throat where he kissed it tenderly before slipping the shirt over my head. He gently pulled down the bottoms of my pajamas until I was in nothing but my underwear. He quickly removed his clothing in the fraction of a second before lifting me to the bed and kissing me so fiercely, it almost tore my mouth in two.

-----

We lay sideways on the bed. He had his arms around me, one at my waist and one tracing my backbone. I hugged myself closer to his ice cold, granite chest. He kissed me on the top of the head. "I wonder what will happen in the future. When Elliot, Emmaretta, and Brandon are all grown up?" I asked aloud. I felt Edward shrug, "That's not something to worry about right now. We have our family." I smiled and buried my face into his shoulder.

His mouth kissed my neck and down to my naked shoulder. "I love you," I said sincerely. He kissed me on the lips again, "And I you, love." Then he pressed his lips to my temple one last time before humming me my lullaby and I drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
