Disclaimer: To my own disbelief and pure greediness, I sadly don't own Twilight/New Moon characters, Miss Stephenie Meyer does.

The month kept going, and the 5 month mark hit for my pregnancy, around this time Jacob was usually become overprotective especially of me and the baby, but this time, he wasn't. He was coming home later and later, proclaiming work was taking him forever. The bags under his eyes grew a deeper shade as the moon in which I saw them in reflected it. As casual as I was to try not to ask, I began to worry.

Finally one night I stayed up to see him, he came through the door with his tie loose and soaking wet, not even caring for the pouring rain outside.

As fast as I could, I tried getting up, meeting him as he just kissed me softly then started to head up the stairs, not noticing that it was 1am.

"Jake, is there something wrong?" I finally asked.

He turned to me, worried. "No, why is something wrong?" he looked quizzically at me.

I just shook my head, "Oh uh no." I whispered.

I let him have about 10 minutes alone till I came up the stairs, he was in bed, sleeping. I noticed how dark the bags under his eyes were; he looked like he hadn't slept in a week. His hair looked thinning and his skin unhealthy. I sank into bed next to him, turning off the lamp and soundly going to bed.

The alarm woke me up at 6:45 and I noticed Jacob didn't even dare to move; I quickly got up and quietly went into the kids' rooms, getting them ready for school. I called Sam at his house and answered to Emily.

"Hey Emily, I'm sorry it's so early, but is Sam there?"

She sounded hesitant on the phone, "Uh no…" she paused, "He's not Bella, I'm sorry."

Disappointed, I answered, "Oh ok is he already at work?"

Seconds later she responded, "Uh sure… I mean yes. Hey Bella, I'm sorry I have to go. Bye"

She clicked to phone quickly, leaving me to hear the phone's tone.

Madeline came up to me and tugged on my robe. "Mommy, it's time to go."

I hung the phone up and stuttered, "Oh uh ok Madeline, go get Mason, and I'll get your coats."

Madeline headed upstairs, as I quickly grabbed their coats and helped them put them on as soon as they reached the door. We stepped outside into the thick, gray fog. I started the car and headed towards school. Without my hair done, I quickly put it up in a ponytail at a stop sign. We reached the school were it was clear air, no thick fog.

I walked Madeline and Mason up to the school's front door, but no further, I was wearing a black trench coat, but I still had uggs on.

I kissed them on the tops of their heads then quickly headed home. I still found Jacob's car in the front, as I pulled up. I looked at the clock, 7:50am, he was late to work, and maybe he could take a sick day.

I walked upstairs and found him still sleeping. I went to his side and gently woke him up.

"Jake, wake up." I whispered.

He mumbled a little bit, but quickly shot up. He looked at the clock as his eyes bolted.

"Bella!" he yelled, "How could you let me sleep in?!" he continued yelling.

I looked at him confused, yet with sympathy…" I'm sorry Jake, but you looked so tired last night, I thought maybe you could call in sick…"

"Bella, "he started running around, grabbing a new dress shirt and putting on pants, "I have important people to see today."

"Oh really?" I added sarcastically, "And that doesn't include your wife does it?"

He grunted, "Well the way you made me late, no."

I stared at him, my jaw wanted to drop but I wouldn't let it. "Oh really, well then." I shot up.

"Bella, just listen I have an important client to see today." He sounded softer.

"Oh really, and then answer me this Jacob, why is Sam acting so weird, I called this morning and he didn't want to talk either, although he acted like he wasn't there."

His face fell white, "Don't go around calling about me Bella." He warned.

"Jacob, this whole past week you've been a ghost in this house. The kids, they haven't seen your face all this week, they ask about you, did you know that?"

He grew white again, "Bella, don't."

"Don't what?" I snapped.

He sighed. "There's… there's something I've been meaning to tell you."

I stared in his direction, he kept looking down.

"Jacob, just say it." I didn't want the hurt anymore…

"I've… I've imprinted." He finally said.

I took in a deep breath, about to cry, for a moment I thought it might be myself… but the way he was saying this… it wasn't me.

He walked towards me, "Bella I'm so sorry, it just happened…" he trailed off.

I shook my head. He hugged me as I tugged out of the hug. I started to wipe the tears coming from my eyes, just tears…

"So this means, what Jacob?"

He gulped… "Bella, I still love you, you're my wife, and you're the mother of my children."

I shook my head, remembering the story of imprinting, how dedicated you were to the person, how infatuated you were with them, how in love…

"Yea but, "I sighed and just let the tears fall, "you'll love her more, you always will."

"No Bella, I've been talking to Sam… I've been staying awake for hours thinking, and we've decided to fire her, so she'll leave and I'll never see her again… she doesn't even know!"

I walked over to him, putting my hand on his heart. "Yea Jake, but you'll always know she's out there, you can't stop it…"

I grabbed my hand; he cradled it against his face. "No Bella, no I love you."

"Jake, who do you love more, this girl or me?" I asked, almost as a test.

He sucked on his lip, almost as if he was thinking, or trying to say my name.

"The ot-…. You Bella!" he stopped himself. "I mean, Damn it!"

"Jake," I cried, "How am I supposed to love someone who can't say 'I love you' truthfully? I mean, Jake, I do love you, but I don't know how long I can take it." I cried.

"Bella, it was so hard to get you, but I won you, you choose me, you mean much more to me…"

I shook my head, "Jake, it might have been like that, but I mean, let's think truthfully here."

I sighed, as he sighed as well. I heard a car outside, it sounded like Sam's.

I heard the door open as I went downstairs, trying to stop the tears and stop the redness forming in my eyes, Sam saw me and hugged me, he kept saying sorry.

Jacob appeared at the top of the stairs, shaking his head in denial.

I cried into Sam's nice shirt, he was rubbing my hair, and kept saying it would be alright.

I finally stopped, but Sam kept hugging me, just holding me as Jacob walked down the stairs.

"Bella?" Sam finally said, "I know this is hard, so sudden."

Jacob ran past us, he headed outside, so quickly I barely even noticed, it was just me and Sam.

"Bella, Jacob tried, so hard, asking the elders, anything. His heart his broken, and his heart belongs to you."

I sighed, "Sam," I finally croaked out, "that might be true, but… he loves someone else."

He wiped a tear of my cheek, "I know that's true Bella, but we must think of what to do."

I shook my head, confused. "What to do?" I asked.

"Jacob feels so ashamed, and well, he will become unbearable to live with. Although you've heard about it Bella, the power of imprinting is so strange, but so strong, and as we faced the facts, it's unbreakable. I'm sorry but he can't… he can't continue to be your husband. I'm so sorry."

I surprisingly didn't cry, but I felt my heart drop, I felt as if there was no happiness in the world, my eyes must have been blank, my face pale white.

"Bella, I'm so sorry," Sam repeated.

"What about the kids?" I asked, "They are both of ours."

"We've talked and decided it's best to uh… tell the children that he's left and won't come back. Although they can see him when they're old enough to understand. We aren't sure if Mason will inherit the wolf trait, it can't be detected this early…"

"But what about Madeline?" I asked, praying to God she didn't inherit such a trait.

"Well, we can't be for certain but I'm almost positive that she didn't inherit the trait, the chances of a girl and unlikely, but as we know are known, but she is too much like you. The whole gang doesn't believe she is, so I truly don't believe we have anything to worry about, but Mason, I'm not sure."

I shook my head.

"And we'll just continue living here. Like nothing's happened?" I sounded almost rude.

"I… I guess so. Although don't worry, Emily and I and the other Quileute members will continually be by, checking up on you three. You are still family Bella, even If you don't believe you are."

"And Jacob?" I cautiously asked.

"He'll be living on the reservation, still working, but we've fired the other girl, and I'm sad to say she's staying…"

I just shook my head, and with a surprise to even me and Sam I laughed, "I guess I'll have to put that teaching degree to work, huh?"

He rubbed my back, "Yea, but don't worry, we already made uh divorce plans, and we owes you huge child support, I mean… we're talking huge."

I was taken back, "Wait, but what about himself, won't he need money?"

"Bella, "Sam finally said, "Our company can take care of itself, and trust me, being the boss I'll watch for Jake, and he's getting huge raises, to support himself."

It was all coming so fast… in just a few weeks we were a loving family, now we were discussing child support and living arrangements.

"So about the divorce, "I made it sound like a terrible word, "We'll be legally separated?"

"Yup, there's a hearing, but the judge is Embry's father, who understands everything, so he's doing it all, the child support, custody… everything. We're kind of mending the divorce rules." Sam smiled.

"And Jacob… he'll be coming back to see the kids off?" I asked patiently.

"Yes… he wanted you to go pick them up like normal and then he'll see them off, this evening."

"Sam?" I finally asked.

"Yes Bella?"

"He won't be there for the birth will he?" I whispered in a very hushed tone.

He shook his head, "I'm sorry Bella." Was all he said.

Sam finally left, and I just sat at the kitchen table for hours, I ate a little, but mainly sat there, staring at the yellow kitchen walls and white cabinets… remembering memories of all of us. I sometimes smiled, but I mainly cried… all afternoon.

The clock struck 2, and I realized I was still in my robe, and realized I couldn't pick up the kids looking like I still just got up. I went upstairs for a lightening quick shower and changed into a soft, maternity sweat suit with tennis shoes. I pulled my hair up into a ponytail.

Smelling fresh I walked to the car, pulling on my black trench coat and scarf. I headed to school, crying the whole way.

I turned at the school sign 'Forks Elementary', I was late of course, but thankfully not late enough. I got out of the car and was greeted by Madeline and Mason running towards me in the rain.

I put on a smile for my children, still wiping away the tears.

"Hey Madeline, Mason!" I got down to their level and hugged them tightly, kissing both of them.

"Hey Mommy, Is Daddy home?" Madeline asked as I was kissing Mason.

I wiped the little tear on my cheek, "Uh… you know Madeline, I believe he is."

She smiled and grabbed Mason's hand, they headed towards the car as I slowly got up, facing the car with two excited, smiling children.

I couldn't do it… my kid's were too excited to see a father they'd never see again in years.

I went into the car, holding my tears and headed to Charlie's. As if it were fate, Charlie's cruiser was outside, another day off that I hit.

I stopped the car outside his home, helping the kid's with their seatbelts.

By grasping both of their hands tightly I headed to Charlie's door. I knocked, then we waited as I held their hands.

Finally Charlie came to the door, a surprised look on his face.

Author's Note: Wow, I just remembered how big this chapter was... a huge plot revealed, oh my!
Well I hope enjoyed it, and you guys are catching up to me... oh goodness. But I'm writing, and I'm so
excited for this story :) Thank you for your kind reviews and story adds, they really make my day.

Alright, so I'm reading the paper this morning, yes I'm a teenager who enjoys the newspaper,
and I'm looking under the entertainment section, and there this whole article on Breaking Dawn,
how it's not exactly 'Harry Potter' but the book is being treated like it. I laughed, as I read the article,
then became worried. Apparently if you really want the book they suggest preordering it... ha, well I haven't,
so I guess I might be waiting a while to grab a copy, eh? That stinks. But then there was a ray of hope,
Barnes and Nables promised to have enough copies for everyone, and so did another store.
I can only cross my fingers as the 'Breaking Dawn' clock strikes to one day.

Till Then, Elizabeth
