A/NHello everyone, how are you all? Once again sorry for the late update, latetly I've had alot of crappy mood-swings, xD and I don't like to write chapters, incase it shows through. Demi Lovato's voice is amazing, and for some reason this chapter was built over the way she sung on 'We'll Be A Dream' her duet with We The Kings, and you know some of the lyrics kind of matched the mood I was hoping to set, except for the whole 'we'll be a dream' bit, but anyway, I hope you like this one, please review and share your thoughts.

p.s sorry there is SO much dialogue in this chapter, but it was just alot that needed to be said! haha.

Disclaimer; I can assure you I don't own Twilight, although I do own Makenna and Carter [cause I made them up]

Chapter. 10
Slowly But Surely.

'Do you remember the nights we'd stay up just laughing, smiling for hours, at anything.'
-We The Kings.

"Bella.." I was trying to search for Jacob's face - that was turned the other way - in attempt to maybe see how he was re-acting.

His hand reached out for the handle and twisted it, pushing the door open he led me inside the small dark room.

A light flickered on as I took a seat across from Jacob.

"Bella, I don't even know where to start." His face held a re-assuring smile.

"I guess I could start with how much I appreciate the fact that you didn't press charges, or even get your dad or the police involved - it was so wrong of me to take your children away from you -"

I held up a hand a signal for him to stop.

"Jacob, I spent the entire first year searching for you and them, I was in complete denial, but then it pretty much just hit me, that they were with you; and I knew that you'd never hurt them and they would be safe with a father like you, because you love them so much."

Jacob's eyes were fixed onto the floor, I wanted him to look up at me, then he did, but his smile had faded and I felt the need to continue and convince him that it was okay.

"Jake I don't hate you for what you did -."

"But Bella, I took your kids away from you I had no right to do that."

"No you took our kids Jacob, and even though it pains me that I wasn't around to experience those first milestones; like their first steps and first words, they still knew who I was, and you must've done something right for them to know who I am, and Jake I am so greatfull for that, because I thought they were growing up not knowing their Mum thinks about them every single day and loves them so much."

"Bells, nothing I could ever do can make up for this, we were engaged and I just left, with Kenna and Carter for Amelia."

Amelia - I'd forgotten about her, where was she now, she'd probably be back soon, intrude in the conversation Jake and I were having, I couldn't have that happen.

"Jake, imprinting is is a feeling you can't just, push away, its a naturual thing for a werewolf."

"But I promised I'd never leave you, I told you we could work through it."

Although I was trying my hardest Jake still wasn't catching on.

"Listen Jake, do you think we could maybe go somewhere a little more - private."

"Bella, I can't be alone with you." His voice seemed much more sadder, if that was even the right word to describe it.

"But - Jake, - I mean, if Amelia comes here, -."

He took a long pause as I studied his face longer, he didn't look all to happy that I had brought her at this part in the discussion.

"Amelia, - won't be coming home."

"Why?" He still wasn't looking at me, like he was avoiding telling me something important. "Jake!"

"Bella!, can you just leave it?" He glanced up at me, then I turned my head so I was the one who looking at the ground.

"I'm sorry - I know I should be able to trust you -."

"Jake you can tell me anything, I promise I won't judge."

There was a long silence, I moved over beside him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Bella - Amelia and I were down at the beach -." I gave him a nod to keep on going.

"And well, we had an argument and I can't really remember anything it all went so quick but in the end, I phased and clawed down the side of her arm, just before I phased back she ran off, and it took me 30 minutes to find that she had fallen off the side of the cliff onto a lower level, - and by the time I got down there -." I stroked his hair, as a tear fell down his cheek, I tried to find the best words to comfort him, it felt werid being this close to him, I knew that I shouldn't even be touching his face, but he needed comforting.

"Jake, I'm so sorry - but it wasn't your fault, you can't help that you get angry, it happens."

"No Bella, I can't be around anyone without the possibility of killing them, I can't be around Kenna or Carter in case I hurt them, thats why - I want you to take them Bella, I don't want them to be in danger all the time, being with me theres always the fact I could hurt them, please take them, - they'll be safe with you."

"Jake, theres actually -."

"Bella, I don't need to argue this through, I've given it so much thought, and I need you to take them - for me."

"Jake, I came here to tell you something, - that was the major reason not to see take our kids away from you, but to tell you that."

I snuck in a look before at him before I confessed.

"Jake I found out a week ago that my father isn't my real dad, Sam Uley's dad is - and well I'm becoming a shape-shifter."

His mouth hung wide open as he jumped up from his seat, standing there just looking down at me, I couldn't tell if he was suprised or devistated.

"Y-you're?, becoming one of us?" I gave just a simple nod of the head.

"Bella.. this changes everything."

A/NOkay guys, now remember I did warn you about all the dialogue, so don't think I don't know that xD.
I'll try and update before Christmas, and hopefully I can make it a little Christmassy, but I'm giving anything away.

Peace and Love, x Sheridan.
