**I do not own any of the Twilight world, if I did, I'd be RICH BIATCH!**

A deal

Edward sighed and squeezed his temples between his middle finger and thumb to convey his frustration. I knew he'd react that way. I hadn't fully explained myself yet and I could understand how someone listening to me might think I'd lost my mind. How could I presume to change something about Jacob that as far as I knew, was impossible to change? And even if the change was possible, how would being in the woods with us help that process? To be honest, I didn't have that all figured out, but I did have a plan. I saw all of those doubts and questions show on Edward's face before it softened and he reached out and took my hand.

"Bella, tomorrow night we are getting married and then heading to Denali so I can change you into a vampire." He told me slowly. I knew everything except the Denali part, which was a big surprise and brought back the Tanya issues.

"Wait, why are we going to Denali?" I blurted out like a child.

"It's a very secluded house and big enough to accommodate the entire family." He said reasonably. I thought on the 'entire family' part.

"Who all is going to be there exactly?" I asked.

"We are relocating before you turn and that includes my family, Bella. Besides, we've been here too long anyway." He explained.

Of course I didn't mind moving away with the Cullen's. They were my family and I loved all of them. I thought about the fact that we would be living with Tanya for the first few months of our marriage and that for the first few days I would be completely out of it while changing. Then, for the rest of the time, I'd be completely consumed with the desire to drink blood. All of that left Edward exposed and vulnerable to Tanya.

"Do you think that's the best idea?" I asked looking down at my feet because I felt ashamed of my jealousy.

"Well, it's the best thing we could come up with since Aro decided we needed to change you immediately."

"And why wasn't I involved in this planning? Whose idea was it exactly?" I had acid in my voice and I knew it was unfair, but I couldn't care less at that moment. Edward narrowed his eyes and looked confused by my tone.

"Carlisle and I came up with the plan and Tanya was the one who offered for us to come stay over." He answered gently like I was a bomb about to go off. He wasn't far off. I felt like my head was going to explode just hearing her name come from Edward's mouth.

"Bella, this is a good plan. The Denali clan are close friends and they know the area well enough to make it easy for us to train you to be a good little vampire." Edward said wrapping his arms around my waist and lifting me off my feet. I smiled into his handsome face and wrapped my arms around his neck. I let the jealousy and overpowering thoughts melt away and pressed my lips against his.

Edward walked us over to the kitchen counter and sat me on it without breaking our kissing. He moved my legs apart and fit between them perfectly. I wrapped myself around him as much as possible and moaned as his hands grabbed and squeezed my bottom making me scoot even closer. I could feel his hardness against me as he moved his mouth down to my neck and sucking my skin. I had to stop the deep moan from escaping the second time when I remembered that we weren't alone.

"Not that I don't love what you are doing with your hands, mouth, and crotch, but you better stop before I wake Jacob up by screaming your name." I breathed into his ear and felt him smile against my skin.

"So, tell me what you were thinking when you said we should take Jacob with us." Edward said taking a step back but keeping his hands on my hips. In all honesty, the news that we were going to be in Denali and with a big group of vampires made my plan seem much clearer and more likely to work. I took a minute to gather my thoughts, and then began to explain.

"Jacob needs to know that he is more than just a guy who turns into a werewolf. He needs to know that he still has control over himself and his life, at least in the sense of this curse. He believes that stopping himself from phasing will eventually end it all and I want to help him with that." I explained clearly and calmly as the plan became even more comprehensible to me.

"Ok and how will we help with that?" Edward seemed genuinely interested in helping Jacob and I loved him even more for that. He also seemed doubtful, which I could understand.

"Well, the Quileutes only began to turn again because vampires came to the area they lived in." I paused and pointed at him to signify that I was referring to him and his family. "It's being around vampires that brings it out in them, that we know for sure. The thing we don't know is what makes them stop phasing. What if it's the same thing? What if keeping himself from phasing around vampires is what can make him stop the phasing altogether?" I questioned hoping that he would be able to back me up. He looked at me thoughtfully and then took a few steps back so he was leaning against the table.

"I cant say that you are wrong or right, but I would think that us leaving would be more likely to stop it than surrounding him with even more vampires." He said and I was ready with my response because I knew that point would come up.

"No, see we know that you just leaving wont stop it. It would take generations of you being away to stop it, just like it took generations of you being here to start it. We need to kick start it. We need to advance it and I think this is the way. Even if I'm wrong, at least he'll be away from the pack and I'll have my best friend around." I finished knowing I was starting to sound selfish. I truly wanted him there with me, especially if I had to live with Tanya and go through so much in such a short amount of time. Edward nodded thoughtfully and looked off into space in deep thought. I bit my lip and waited to hear what he would say.

"What do I get for allowing this insanity to happen?" He asked with his crooked smile flooding his face. I chuckled nervously because I had no idea what he was thinking.

"What do you want?" I asked crossing my arms across my chest.

"You. Warm, blushing, sexy you." He answered with desire. My eyebrows furrowed as I realized that he had described me as human and not vampire.

"More time as human? Are you asking for more time with me human?" I asked unbelievably. He nodded seriously and crossed his arms like I had done. I let my arms uncross and hopped down from the counter.

"That's very sweet but slightly impossible considering that Aro has demanded my immediate change. You know all of that, so why are we even discussing this?"

"Because I got to make love to you many wonderful times last night and even some this morning and I must say that I want more of it. I believe that Aro and his followers have no idea that we will be in Denali and can be prepared if they happen to find out some how. Besides, you want to help Jacob and you being a newborn vampire will be counterproductive to the extreme." He said with a grin like it was Christmas morning and he was a five-year-old who just opened the gift he was praying for the most.

I had to admit that more time as a human had its very sexy and appealing advantages and he was absolutely right about me being no help with Jacob as a newborn vampire. If I wouldn't care about Edward, Jacob's problems wouldn't even register to me at that point. I smiled at him and held out my hand.

"Should we shake on it?" I asked. His face exploded into happiness that reached out to me and made me laugh. He was so ecstatic about the thought of keeping me human that he jumped up from the table and punched the air. Unfortunately his pressure on the table made it crumble on the ground into a heap of wood. We both laughed and fell into each other. Suddenly I felt light and care free. I felt that we were doing the exact right thing for us and for Jacob. I looked into his amber eyes and couldn't believe I was so lucky to have him. Of course, he was being slightly selfish, but hey, so was I!

"You fix that table and I'm gonna try to wake Jake and tell him the plan!" I said excitedly.

"Whoa, wait! You haven't mentioned this plan to Jacob yet?" He grabbed my hand and pulled me back toward him.

"No, not yet, but I know him and I know what he's going through. It wont be a problem!" I said enthusiastically. Edward rolled his eyes and shook his head at me.

"Okay, I'll fix this and you talk to Jacob. Just please remember that we have a wedding rehearsal to get to. I'm going home to let the family know what's going on and ask Tanya if we can bring a werewolf into her home." Edward said spinning me around and patting my butt as I walked out of the kitchen and into the living room where Jacob sat looking at me.

"Jake! You're awake. How do you feel?" I asked practically jogging over to him and settling down next to him on the couch. As he continued to just stare at me I leaned forward and hugged him tightly. He chuckled slightly and hugged me back.

"You heard everything didn't you?" I asked nervously. He nodded and had the most skeptical look on his face.

"I heard that you want me to go with you to Camp Vampire to try and get rid of this." He said with a disbelieving tone.

"Don't say it like that. This is a great plan! We can try to help you and I'll be a human longer." I explained with a little sadness that he wasn't as excited as I was.

"That's a really sweet thing to do for me Bella, but I was extremely drunk when I was talking earlier and now I'm sober and you don't owe me anything." He said taking my hand and patting it. I could tell by his tone and the way he looked down that he liked the plan and wanted to accept but something was holding him back.

"Hey, look at me." I said taking his chin between my fingers and turning his face. "You are my best friend. I am about to lose all of my biological family forever and I need you just as much as you need me. Let me do this for you. Let me try. There's no way to know if this will work, but I have to try for you." I explained feeling my throat tighten and tears pool around my bottom eyelids. He smiled sweetly and blinked back his own tears.

"Okay, Bella. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'd rather live in a house full of bloodsuckers than be here with Sam and his crap." Jacob said squeezing my hand. I threw my arms around him and sighed when I realized that no matter what happened in the next few months, I'd have Jacob with me.

"I'm so glad we are doing this, but now I have to go get ready for the rehearsal and you need to go get a suit because you are coming to my wedding." I said standing up and looking down into his face. It changed from happy to upset in seconds.

"I really would love to be there for you, Bella, but I don't think I can watch you get married to someone else." He said sadly. I felt bad for not thinking of that before.

"How about you just come with your Dad to the reception and dance with me?" I suggested holding my hand out to him. He took it and stood with a small smile.

"That's a deal." He agreed with a nod. "Just one thing; Can you give me a ride home? I feel like I got attacked by a very large bear." He said running a hand over his forehead and looking exhausted. I looked at the clock and realized that I had less than hour to get the Cullen's house. There was no where near enough time to get dressed, be 'Alice approved' ready, and take Jacob all the way home.

"Screw it, I can be a few minutes late. Just let me go get ready. You relax and get some coffee or water from the kitchen. I'll be fast!" I shouted as I ran up the stairs and headed for my room.

When I came back down I couldn't find Jacob and started to panic when I searched the whole house and he wasn't there. I grabbed my keys and ran out the front door thinking that maybe he'd be waiting by the car. I stopped abruptly seeing him surrounded by Sam and the rest of the pack. I saw Sam's hand go up and it looked like he was about to strike Jake.

"Stop it! Leave him alone!" I yelled and ran toward them as fast as I could. I had distracted them enough so Seth could grab Sam's arm. Jacob held a hand out to tell me to stop where I was. I noticed that all of the guys were trembling and had insanely pissed off looks on their faces.

"You can not go with the bloodsuckers! Do you hear me, Jacob Black? I am telling you that you are not allowed to go with her!" Sam yelled into Jake's face and pointing back at me when he spat the word 'her'. Jacob looked the calmest of them all and only his hands seemed to be shaking.

"I'm sorry, Sam. You don't have control over me. You are not my Alpha." He said with sadness in his voice. I knew he was losing his best friends at that moment and wanted to cry for all of their loses. Sam seemed to be on the edge of phasing and it took all the other pack members to drag him toward the trees. As soon as I was sure they had him I ran to Jacob.

"Come on, let's get out of here." I said when I had reached him. He looked painfully into the trees for a moment before turning and following me to my car. I pulled away quickly and drove toward his house.

"Will they come back and try to hurt you?" I asked seeing the anger on Sam's face in my head. I looked over and saw that Jacob was shaking more now than when he was surrounded by the pack. I pulled over and after throwing the car into park I turned to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. It was shaking violently.

"Jacob. Jacob you look at me." I said with as much force as my fear would allow. I was terrified that he'd phase and tear the car and me apart. He turned his face toward me slowly and there was a mixture of terror and anger in his eyes. I slowly reached over and took his face in my hands. His skin was blazing hot.

"Breathe with me. Take deep breathes like me. Here, feel how I'm breathing." I said calmingly and placed his huge palm against my chest as it moved up and down. After a few minutes that felt like years, he sighed and his whole body relaxed. I smiled at him brightly, extremely proud that I had just helped him for the first time. It felt like the start of something big. He seemed to understand and feel the same way because he pulled me into a tight hug.

"Let's get you home. I'm incredibly late and I can already hear Alice yelling at me."

**Ok, I accept that some of you will not like my whole Jacob phasing reasoning, but hey this is just one woman's idea so just go with it! It leads to good stuff! I really want Bella to be human a little while longer because there's just something so hot about a human and vampire getting it on!

Thanks to all for reading and reviewing! Special thanks to JustForkIt!**
