Awaking in the late afternoon, Jacob quickly got dressed and headed for the Cullen's house after having breakfast. It had been something different for him to wake up alone in his own bed for once. He had missed the feeling of Ness sleeping beside him through the night. Jacob now hated sleeping alone. He was addicted to sleeping with Renesmee. There was nothing like waking up beside the one he loved most.

The house was empty when he had gotten up. He guessed Rachel was out with Paul and his father was either fishing or watching the game with Charlie again. He made a quick breakfast of eggs and almost ate them in three mouthfuls.

Not being able to wait any longer to go and see Ness, he ran outside into the forest, allowing the door behind him to close with a loud crash and phased. Jacob glanced up at the darkening sky, smelling the sweet scent of rain soon to come.

He got to the edge of the forest, just near the Cullen's house and phased back. Pulling on his jeans he headed towards the huge home of theirs and knocked on the door lightly. He was taken aback when Bella answered it before he could even knock a second time.

He smiled lightly, happy to see her instead of Edward and then noticed how worried she looked.

"How's Ness?" he murmured quietly.

"Sleeping in her room . . . She's exhausted Jacob," Bella answered, keeping her voice low and closed the door without a sound so she wouldn't wake her daughter. It seemed to be Bella was the only Cullen in the house apart from Ness. Jacob didn't see nor sense anyone else. He leaned against the wall beside the door with his arms crossed over his chest, staring down at the dark grey-blue carpet.

He felt horrible for what she was going through. He blamed himself; even know he knew it was both their faults really. He shouldn't have listened to Ness and just used the condom just in case, and she should have been just as careful and taken notice to him. But it was over now. He couldn't go back in time and change things, no matter how much he wanted to. Though, to a point, he didn't want to either.

"Carlisle said the baby could be here in less than a week now," Bella said after a moment, making Jacob look up at her in shock, holding her gaze.

He bit his lower lip and shook his head in disbelief. "Things couldn't have changed that much over night, could they?" he said, knowing it was a stupid question. He knew how things had changed so quickly with Bella years back. It would only be natural for them to happen just as quick if not quicker with Ness. It didn't help that this baby was half vampire and Ness herself was half vampire too. At least Bella's body had been able to adjust to the size for her daughter, unlike Renesmee's.

Jacob sighed shaking his head as Bella came over to his side to comfort him. She didn't know what to say to make him feel better, or even if there was anything to say that would make him feel better. All she could do was stand beside him and wrap her arms around his shoulders. Jacob was reluctant at first, not knowing how to react to her holding him, but after a moment, he just gave in and rested his head on her shoulder and wrapped his arms around her too. He wasn't used to being comforted himself. He usually was the one holding Bella together, not the other way away, though he knew it had to be hard for Bella to be watching Renesmee going through the very same thing she had once. He didn't even want to think back to what Bella had gone through.

He sighed as Bella pulled away. She looked Jacob in the eye and said, "I gotta go Jake. I promised I would meet up with the others later. Carlisle should be back soon. Call me if you need anything, okay?" A forced smile came upon Bella's face as she kissed his cheek and left after he had answered her.

Jacob sat back on the Cullen's couch, staring up at the ceiling. It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon and it was already starting to get dark with the rain falling outside. He looked up and towards Renesmee's bedroom after hearing her stir in her sleep.

He then heard her murmur "mum" and stood up. He could sense Ness was awake now and wondering where everyone was. He didn't want her to feel all alone in the huge house with the state she was in. Jake could sense Renesmee was scared about the whole ordeal, but at the same time, she was also excited. He felt the same way too, to a point. Jacob had always wanted a family one day, but he hadn't planned it to be like this. If he had known having a family with Ness would cause this much worry and pressure to her, he wouldn't have even thought about it. The very thing Jacob wanted most he already had, and he wouldn't give it up for anything. He loved Ness too much to lose her.

When he got to the door of her little room – little compared the rest of the rooms in the house, but still pretty big – he seen she was lying back down against her pillows, with the blankets pulled up. Her eyes were closed, but he could sense she was still awake by the way her hand was clutching the pillow under her head so tightly. He leaned against the door frame, keeping his arms crossed tightly over his chest as he murmured, "Hey," quietly, not wanting to scare her by his sudden presence.

Renesmee looked up and sat up quickly with hearing Jacob's voice. She hadn't even heard him in the house, let alone at the door of her room. Her eyes were glassy with tears of fear. The second Jacob saw them he walked over to the side of her bed and wrapped his arms around her as she started to sob.

"I'm so sorry Ness," he whispered huskily as she cried into the comforting warmth of his chest.

"Why do things have to be so hard for us Jacob?" she muttered through tears. "Why can't it be like anyone else's life?"

"Because we're both freaks of nature Ness, that's how it is for us."

Renesmee went silent. She rubbed the back of her hands under her eyes, wiping away the tears. She looked up to him, meeting his gaze. "One thing I am glad about with this happening Jacob," she whispered softly. "At least we will now have a family together." She smiled softly, running her hand down the side of Jacob's face while still holding his gaze.

Jacob forced a light smile upon his lips for Ness. He knew he would have been lying is he said he hadn't ever wanted a family, but he would also be lying if he said he wanted a werewolf hybrid as a son or daughter, though the idea probably wouldn't have worried him like it did now if Jaden hadn't come into his life.

Ness picked up something about Jacob with how he had smiled. She could see something just wasn't quite right. She thought he would be happier than he seemed to be. "What's wrong? I thought you would be happy about this."

He bit his lower lip, not sure how to feel or explain it either. But she had to understand how he felt and his worries towards the baby. She knew what Jaden was like just as well as he did. "I'm just worried about you Ness and how the baby is going to turn out," he answered in a soft tone.

"Turn out? What do you mean turn out?"

"It's a werewolf hybrid Ness, just like . . . Jaden. What if-" she cut him off by placing her finger upon his lips. Her hands went to either side of his face, staring into his dark chocolate eyes so he knew just how serious she was. "Our baby won't be like Jaden, Jacob. We'll teach it right from wrong, okay? You don't have to worry."

He just nodded and forced another smile on his face, trying to make himself believe both Bella and Renesmee's words. For some reason it was just too hard for him to believe, even know he really wanted to.

Ness took his hand from around her shoulders and placed it where their baby was growing rapidly. Jacob's eyes turned wide with shock at how much her bump had grown over night. He held her gaze, not able to find words to speak with. He hadn't ever been so shocked in his life. It hadn't been that long since he had last seen Ness, and yet, it left like months within that moment.

"That's impossible Ness," he murmured. "How could it have grown so much, so quickly?"

She smiled slightly. "Carlisle said it's only natural. He's surprised it hadn't grown more over the month we had been away. He said he would do another ultrasound when he came back from hunting. It could be here in a week or less," she whispered and then dropped her gaze and let go of his hand.

"Will it be formed enough by then?" Jacob could tell by the way she was now acting she was worried. He just wasn't sure if it was for the baby or for herself. He could remember what Carlisle had said, that it may need removing before its time. He just wondered if that's what Ness and Bella had meant when they said 'here in a week or less,' or if it would come naturally.

Ness just shook her head. "He doesn't know." She kept her head hung and her hands over her stomach, deep in thought. She didn't want to lose their baby. She knew it was as good as a miracle to have this baby. She had been lucky to be given a chance to be a mother with being half vampire. She was having mixed feelings – happy, scared and worried at the same time.

"Hey, it'll be okay," Jacob whispered; touching her chin and making her look up to his gaze. With the same glassy look in her eyes as earlier, Ness nodded and smiled slightly. Jacob got behind her and wrapped his arms around her small body, kissing her shoulder every now and then as she laid back on him, leaning into his chest.

After a while Jacob felt Ness fall asleep against him. He stared up at the white ceiling while keeping both his arms around Renesmee's body. He smirked crookedly and glanced down at Renesmee when he felt a slight nudge against his stomach. When he looked down to her, Renesmee's eyes were open and staring out her window to the wet greenness outside. She looked up at him and smiled too.

"You felt it kick too?"

He nodded without saying anything and rested his hand back on her stomach, feeling the baby kick against his hand this time. Jacob chuckled lightly. "I think you have a little football player in there."

Ness laughed and rested her hand over his on her stomach, entwining their fingers white leaning into the warmth of Jacob's body. "Or a little werewolf like you," she smiled as he placed a kiss on her forehead. He hadn't even thought of the baby being a werewolf like him one day. He knew it would be a hard life for it though – fighting against vampires while being half of one at the same time. It sounded hypocritical really. Jacob started to think of what the pack would react like when they found out, and what they would say. He knew Paul would be freaking out like the world was going to end, and the others, he really didn't know what to expect from them, especially Sam. He hoped it wouldn't be a whole war against packs again, like when Ness was born. It was the last thing he needed or wanted.

Ness suddenly winced in his arms, sitting up quickly as she gripped the side of her stomach. Sweat beaded from her forehead.

"Are you okay?" Jacob said quickly in panic. "Should I call Carlisle?"

She shook her head. "No. The baby only kicked me in the rib, that's all."

"Did it break?"

"No. I'm a vampire Jacob. My bones are stronger than my mother's. I'm a quick healer like you anyway. It won't be as bad, so stop worrying." She looked up to him and smiled slightly, though still in some pain. Her words may have been true, but that didn't stop some pain from occurring.

"You're sure?" he murmured, still a little worried.

"Yes Jacob."

They both suddenly heard the front door of the house open and close quickly. Before Jacob could move a muscle, Carlisle was in the doorway of her room with mug full of something red. Jacob could tell what it was before Carlisle had said a thing. The scent of salt and rush gave it away. He really didn't want to think about it, but he also knew Ness and the baby would need it. He had noticed she was slightly cooler than her usual warm temperature.

"How are you feeling today Renesmee?" he asked, walking over to her.

"Okay grandpa," she answered. "Better now Jake is here," she smiled, leaning into his side, making Jacob smile. He loved just having Ness close by. It made him feel special when Ness or Bella said things like that to him also.

Carlisle went over to Ness's side of the bed, placed the cup of red liquid on the bedside table and checked her heart and blood pressure very quickly. After that he told her he wanted to do another ultrasound to check on how the baby was going and how much room it had left to grow in an hour or so. Carlisle left Jake and Ness alone then.

Renesmee stayed staring down at her hands rested on her stomach for a while and then leaned over to the other side of the bed to grab the cup of blood. She slowly swirled it around the edges while staring down at it. Jacob could tell she really didn't want the blood, nor did she like the look of it. Thankfully Ness wasn't sensitive to the look or smell of blood like her mother had been when she was human.

"What's it for?" Jacob questioned in a light tone of voice, already having a bit of an idea. He ran his hand down the side of Renesmee's face, pulling a strand of her hair behind her ear. She glanced over her shoulder to him, letting out a light sigh.

"Can't go out hunting, so I got to bring hunting to me," she answered. "Carlisle thinks it will be the best for us both to have blood instead of human food for now." Shaking her head, Ness quickly scoffed down the cup of blood all in one go. It was cold, so it didn't taste that great. She hardly drank any animal blood anymore. She didn't mind it that much, though she refired it warm. "I'm bored," Renesmee abruptly stated, seeming as though she was a little brighter and more energetic than moments before.

Jacob smiled, noticing the difference in her. "So, what do you want to do about it?" he asked, watching a crooked smile slowly appearing over Ness's lips. It was as though he could read her mind. He could see what she was thinking by the look in her eyes.

She leaned up on him and wrapped her arms around his neck, capturing his upper lip between her own as his hands rested on her shoulders, licking her lips slowly. When she acted like this around him, Jacob felt as though they were the only two in the world. It was just him and her . . . until he realized it wasn't like that anymore. They weren't in Miami anymore, and there was also the baby to think about now, not to mention Carlisle now being in the house too.

Jacob sighed, pulling away. "We can't," he murmured so Ness was the only one who could hear. Sighing too, Ness nodding with understanding what he was saying, but still slightly disappointed. She missed being back and alone with Jacob in their little house on the beach in Miami. She wished she could still be back there with him. She missed everything about the house.

"Are you allowed to walk?" Jacob asked after a moment, looking out the window and then to Ness again. She nodded and got off her bed and wrapped her blue dressing gown around herself and started to walk beside Jacob as he led the way to the Cullen's veranda. He helped her outside and let her sit down on the outdoor chair, just by the entrance. It was raining pretty well now. The cooler air blew around them.

Renesmee looked around the yard of her home. She had missed Forks, but she still loved Miami more. There in Miami, it seemed like a lot more went on and there was so much more to see than what went on in Forks. She wanted something different in her life to what she had as a child. She was done with the boring life that Forks had to offer.

She stayed curled up on the chair beside Jacob, with his arm around her, making sure she stayed warm. She touched his hand, sending a thought to him how she couldn't believe it wouldn't be long until they would be both parents. They had only found out about their baby a day or so ago.

Jacob nodded and looked into Ness's tired eyes. She always used to communicate with him like this. She hardly used to speak when she was little because of the gift she processed. There really wasn't a need for her to speak at all really.

They both looked up with hearing a sound and saw Carlisle standing at the door. He smiled kindly and with soft eyes, telling them both he was ready to do the ultrasound upstairs. Jacob was surprised to hear that they had somehow had gotten the machine into their home. The Cullens' never failed to shock and amaze Jake. Just when he thought he had seen it all from them, they surprised him again.

Carlisle said Ness shouldn't walk upstairs, so Jacob picked her up into his arms and carried her the rest of the way. He didn't mind having to carry Ness, and she didn't mind being carried by him either. The warmth of his body was calming and welcoming to Renesmee. She smiled contently while he carried her and set her down upon a bed in a brightly lit white room. Everything in the room was white: the walls, the machines, the flooring and furniture.

Carlisle turned the lights down and the machine and then pulled Renesmee's top up a little, pouring a gel like mixture over her stomach where the baby was growing. Jacob's hand held Ness's tightly. He was slightly worried about what Carlisle would find.

It wasn't long until there was a picture up on the computer of their baby. You could actually make out a better shape of the baby this time. Jacob shook his head in amazement. He could make out its nose, hands, body, fingers, toes, legs and feet. He smiled crookedly down at Ness as she looked up at him.

"It's so cute," Ness whispered in awe, now watching the screen again.

"Do you want to know what it is?" Carlisle asked.

Jacob glanced down at Ness as she caught his gaze. They could tell what each other's answer was by the look in their eyes. She looked back to Carlisle and nodded. Slowly Carlisle moved the little handheld wand he had on Renesmee's stomach and clicked a few buttons.

"It's a girl," he smiled.

"She's so cute," Ness said again as Jacob kissed her forehead, he didn't know what to say. He just felt suddenly so proud of both himself and Ness. They were having a beautiful baby girl soon. Jacob had always thought about having a girl. A little girl he could love, care and spoil differently to how he had loved any other girl in his life.

"How is she doing?" Jacob said.

Carlisle took a few minutes to answer, which worried him. "She hasn't got that much room left. But I think she will be okay to live outside the womb as she is now. She would be near eight months old if she were human. I'm surprised though, Ness's body seemed to have changed a little for her to grow."

Jacob let out a breath of relief he had been holding and smiled. He could sense Ness was relived too. At least whatever day the baby decided to come or needed to come out, it wouldn't be in any danger or fighting for its life. It had been the number one thing that had been worrying Ness.

Carlisle cleaned the gel off of Renesmee's stomach and Jacob carried her back downstairs and into her room again. After that they started to write names down on a piece of paper. They had come up with many. Names that were unisex, made up and also ones they liked and loved. But there was only one name they both loved most out of all the names they had come up with so far. Sibylla. Both Jacob and Renesmee liked it because of how unique it seemed to be and sounded. Neither Ness nor Jake knew anyone with that name. They wanted a name that was something different and none of the names they had made up seemed to sound right.

The rest of the Cullens' came home just on dark and all came to see how Ness was doing one after the other. Edward didn't even say a word to Jacob. He was still greatly annoyed with him, but Jacob didn't even bother to care, take notice or say anything either. He was there for Renesmee and he didn't give a damn if Edward liked it or not. It was his problem.

At around nine, ten o'clock, Ness and Jacob went to bed after watching a few movies together. Even though even Bella thought it would be best if Jake went home and slept in his own bed, he stayed with Ness as it was what she wanted too. There was no way Jacob was going to go home when Ness was so close to having Sibylla.

She and Jacob had both missed each other the one night they had been apart. Jacob's arm stayed wrapped around Renesmee as she rested her head and hand on his chest, breathing in his musky-woods scent which calmed her greatly. Jacob's scent was just the thing she needed most to relax her, as it seemed to be Sibylla was more active than usual. She kept waking Renesmee every few hours kicking her.

At almost dawn, Ness woke up crying in pain, also waking Jacob. "Are you okay?" he asked, half asleep, gripping her hand lightly and looking her in the eye. Sweat dripped lightly down her forehead as her hand rested on her stomach again. It was when Ness shook her head, he yelled out for Carlisle to come.
