Original story idea from Ookami21Kage in 'Not a curse for some'
I was kindly granted artistic licensing from this wonderful author to use her story and let me write about it. A lot has changed from the original. I just liked the idea. Poor Jacob pregnant and roaming, it's original and well you can do anything to it if you wanted.

Jacob POV
We ate in silence for a while, just like we used to. My father and I never needed to fill the silence with hollow banter. We shared a mutual contentment with comfortable silence. After we finished my dad reached out to take my hand.
"Jake, cub, I'm so sorry," He choked out.
"I said a blood bond, not impregnation. I'm sorry, I feel like this is my fault."
"Shhh, Dad I know this isn't what you meant. Sam would still have done it anyway if that is what he wanted. Just know that I don't blame you and that I still love you." I implored.
He smiled through his tears and wheeled himself over to me. I hugged him close and my dam broke.
"I'm soo scared daddy," I sobbed into his chest.
"I know cub, we all are. But you're going to be a wonderful mommy and Edward's going to be a great Dad. He'll take care of you and your cubs, I know he will," He soothed.
He hugged me close for a little while until a soft knock came from the door.
Sitting up and whipping my tears, I mumbled a 'come in'.
Esme opened the door, "Would you like to watch a movie? The pack is outside wrestling with Emmett and Jasper. The girls are out cheering on the boys."
I smiled at her and then looked to my dad. He nodded and Edward suddenly flitted into the room.
"Of course Billy," He said. He picked up my dad and started down the hall.
"I talked to Carlisle, we're going to get you chair lifts for the stairs, this way you have the freedom you want in our home." Edward told Billy as he helped him down the stairs.
"Thank you, but it is not necessary."
"I know it's not, but it is out of respect for you. You're an independent man, we'd like to keep you that way," Edward smiled. Edward helped him to get onto the couch and sat on the opposite end of the couch while I watched three wolves try to pin Emmett to the ground.
"Edward, what's going through Emmett's mind right now?"
"He's trying not to laugh. He knows that they aren't putting everything into it and he's having a way too easy go of evading them."
I snorted and then turned to sit down after Edward popped a movie in. I sat in the middle and laid back. My feet found my Dad's lap while my head sunk into Edward's. He played with my hair, massaging my scalp while the movie played. My dad just held onto my feet like he used to when I was a child.
Edward POV
Jake fell asleep 20 minutes into the movie, so Billy sat with me and watched the movie.
He was enjoying the old western while I was just about purring from cuddling with Jake.
After the movie finished Billy turned to look at Jake.
He must be tired
I nodded. Jake whimpered but then snuggled into my lap a little more.
"I'm more than thankful that he doesn't have nightmares. What Sam did hurt him, more than I can imagine."
Billy nodded.
Esme came in and smiled at us. She came over and sat down beside me, trailing a hand down the side of Jake's face.
"He's so scared. I can see it from where I am. I remember how I felt when I found out I was having a baby," Esme mused.
"He is afraid. He's afraid of Sam trying something. He's afraid of being a bad mom, of losing the pups. He loves these little things already." I smiled down at him.
"How many are there? Do you know?"
"8," Esme and I replied.
"8?" Billy asked us, a little dazed.
I nodded. "Eight tiny heart beats and one big one."
"That's a lot of pups… he's going to need help."
Rose walked in then, "We're all here to help them and I'm excited to be an Aunty."
The rest filed in, including the pack, and all "Me-too'ed."
Billy smiled and looked up at Jasper.
"Can you help me back to my chair? It's time to be getting back; the boys have shifts to run."
Jasper walked over to him, moved Jake's feet gently, and scooped Billy up and deposited him in his chair across the room. He looked a little green from the experience and Jasper mumbled an apology.
Jake woke as Billy started to wheel himself out the door.
"If you hurry you can catch your dad to say bye." He smiled at me and rushed off.
I slumped back on the couch, Jasper sat beside me, and Carlisle rubbed my neck standing behind the couch.
"I'm worried about him too, we all are, but don't stress too much Edward. He'll pick up on it and stress too," Jasper said.
I sighed and leaned my head back to rest on Carlisle's stomach. He really is my dad and they really are my older siblings.
I smiled to myself as I heard Jake yell, finishing his goodbyes.
