Jacob's POV

The next day I pick Lexi up from school and we go to the park before going back to Bella's to do her homework and start dinner.

Dinner is just about ready when Bella and Sam show up.

"Sam!" Lexi yells and jumps into his arms. "Do you forgive my mommy?" She asks all innocently.

"That's why he's here Lexi. I'm forgiven and we have something to tell you." Bella jumps in when she can tell Sam has no idea what to say.

"Are you buying me a puppy? I really want a puppy!" It might seem random but she seriously wants a puppy. She asks for one at least once a day.

"No puppies Lexi, we're getting married!" Bella looks so happy.

"Are we going to live with you Sam? Can I call you daddy now?" Apparently Sam is better than a puppy. Bella and Sam are just starting at each other not wanting to answer for the other person.

"Eventually you and mommy will live with him Lex and yes you can call him daddy now." I answer for them. Sometimes people make things so difficult.

"I love you Daddy!" she hugs him so tight I doubt he can breathe.

He tells her he loves her too and Bella is watching them trying not to cry. He's really softened her up. After Marcus left she cried every day for a month then she pushed all the emotions away and I don't think she ever cried again until she met Sam. I guess it's a good thing unless he breaks her in the end. Not that I think he will. They look like such a happy little family.

I tell them I'm going to go and Bella tells me no Sam is staying with Lexi and we are going out for dinner and then we are going do something else, anything else.

So we tell them bye and head out. We end up at this little Mexican restaurant that Lexi hates. We usually end up somewhere with a playground when Lexi is with us.

"I love you Jake. I'm so lucky to have you in mine and Lexi's life. If it weren't for you I wouldn't have met him, or called him and I would have let my no kids thing ruin us. I don't know what I would do without you." She says as soon as we sit down.

"I love you too Bella, even when you're extra stubborn. I'll always be there for you. Even though you're moving on and taking Lexi with you." She looks hurt and I realize I didn't even know I felt like that.

"We're not going anywhere Jake." She's hurt and confused.

"I know, I know I didn't even mean it like that. It's just after Marcus I was the most important person to you and I was always second most important to Lex. I'm so happy for both of you. I just think that maybe you won't need me anymore."

"We'll always need you Jake. Who do you think Lexi is going to run too when she thinks we're being mean?" We both laugh and I realize I'm being crazy. "Things are always going to change, but you'll always be my best friend."

We get our food and talk about things that don't make me sound insecure and pathetic. After we are done we try to decide what else we want to do. Hanging out with just Bella is nice. I love Lexi but things always revolve around her and Leah is more of a hang out at the house type since she works so much.

We end up going to see some really dumb movie, walk out half way through, stop at the store to get ice cream and go back to her house.

"Mommy! Jake! Sam said as soon as we move into together I can get a puppy! When can we move in together? When? When?" Lexi is screaming and bouncing and I try to hide the ice cream because she obviously does not need any.

"I really don't know Lexi. We haven't really talked about." She looks annoyed. Probably because Sam told her she could have a puppy.

"Lexi, I said we would take about a puppy after we move in together. So maybe." He looks sorry. We all know how Lexi is though.

She huffs and goes to her room and Sam tells Bella he's sorry and Bella tells him it's OK but she really hates dogs and I'm relieved that this isn't my life. I'm sure eventually I'll have my own problem causing kids but Leah and I are so much more laid back than Bella and that should carry over into our kids.

Hopefully.
