13. Baby, Just Say Yes.

One week later.

"Do you think your family liked me?" Bella asked while staring deeply into her glass of wine, avoiding looking at Jake's face.

Seeing her doubt herself was tearing him up inside. "Was she serious? She is the most beautiful, wonderful, loving, perfect creature ever created. Why can't she see that?" he mused, while gathering his thoughts. His parents had been slightly shocked at first to see how serious their son was about this girl, but they were quickly won over by Bella's sweet true nature.

He must have taken too long in his musing, because he suddenly realized Bella was no longer seated within his arms. She had risen and was standing beside the simple yet breathtaking stone and wood carved fireplace; she seemed to be contemplating the dancing flames like they would give her the answers to all life's questions.

Placing his glass on the coffee table in front of him, Jake slowly rose and walked across the room, wrapping his bronze arms around her small frame. Bella jumped slightly, startled from her musings, as he gently laid his chin on her shoulder and softly kissed it. He smiled as he felt her immediately meld into him as if they were one. Lifting his hand up under her chin, he turned her head to face him staring deeply into her eyes. Every time he gazed into her eyes, it was like looking at a piece of his soul he never knew he was missing.

Jake needed to find a way to tell her, to get her to see how special she was, to him and to his family. Smiling slightly with the idea that was forming in his head, he gazed at her lovingly. "Are you kidding? Baby, why can't you see what I see? Hell, what everyone sees. You're such a beautiful person - inside and out. And I'm blessed that you chose me to fall in love with," he told her sincerely, making sure to never avert his gaze. "I'm so proud to call you my girl, Bells, and I know for a fact that my parents loved you," he smirked, running his thumb across her jaw.

She lifted her uncertain gaze to his, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion. How would he know? "How?"

"Because just before we left, my mom told me that you were a keeper and she already loves you."

A small, dubious smile began to spread across her nervous features, as she whispered her reply, "Really?"

Jake chuckled, palmed her cheeks and turned her to face him fully. "Yes, Bells, really," he clarified, leaning in to kiss her smiling lips. "But, you need to promise me something," he mumbled against her, withdrawing his head as she nodded. "No more doubting yourself, it's unlike you. I know you were nervous - just as I will be when I meet your parents, but I think it just shows how much you care about me and our relationship, that you would care that much about what my family thinks of you. It makes me love you that much more," Jake whispered while stroking her cheek.

Bella smiled again, and before kissing him lovingly, she whispered, "Thank you."

Jake shook his head against her sweet mouth, "Don't thank me; it's the truth," he pulled back an inch to take in her entire face; the hand that was on her jaw now softly stroking her hair. "I never told you what first drew me towards you, did I?" he questioned, searching his brain to try and recollect telling that memory.

"Nope; never."

He tightened his arms around her and said strongly, "Your confidence. The way you got out of that car and sauntered towards me... damn," he smirked while biting his lip and shaking his head - brushing his lips across hers. "You were the sexiest thing I'd ever seen, and now I get to wake up with that same little vixen in my arms every morning."

An elated, mischievous smile found its way onto her face, "So you think I'm sexy, huh?" Bella said in a playful, yet flirtatious voice.

To show her just how much, Jake bent slightly, wrapped his fingers around her slim, toned thighs and hoisted her into his arms. "So fucking sexy," he finished thickly; his voice was husky and coarse as his hungry mouth claimed hers. Jake's tongue impatiently parted her lips, desperate to taste the heaven that awaited him.

Just before she lost herself forever in his delicious kiss; she tore her lips from his, panting and breathlessly said, "Really?" though her tone sounded unconvinced.

He growled as he led her across the room and pushed her roughly up against the wall. "Yeah, really. Got a problem with that, Swan?"

Bella's eyes rolled into her head as her back collided with the plaster; the familiar ache and throbbing between her legs was once again evident as Jake thrust his rock hard cock into her soaked core. Her arms instantly came up and locked around his neck, her fingertips digging into his skin as he continued to rock hard into her.

"As a matter of fact I do," Bella goaded him, while aggressively pulling his lower lip into her mouth and suckling. "I see you talking a lot of smack, but not really backing it up." She bit down on his tender flesh, causing him to hiss and curse under his breath. Bella knew she was pushing him - she could tell by the blazing fire burning in his eyes as he kissed her with raw desire and need.

"You know," he started, his voice bordering on crazed; it was so fucking sexy. "You're lucky I took that vow, because right now I wanna rip these damn clothes from your body and fuck you so hard you'll be seeing stars for weeks."

Bella whimpered; her eyes fluttering to a close as her body melted to mere mush in his arms. Somehow she managed to gather whatever was left of her control and fired back, "Is that a threat or a promise?"

In mere seconds, Bella's arms were torn from around his neck and pinned above her head, as Jake breathed heavily; his eyes and voice laced with unleashed passion. "Don't tempt me, baby."

She snaked one wrist out of his death grip and forcefully pushed back on his chest. "You don't scare me, honey. I can take you..." In a flash, Jake was the one pinned against the wall; his lickable eight-pack heaving from their intense little game. Bella placed her confident hands on his hips and slowly trailed her way up his muscular chest, while leaning in and licking his ear, "I can take ALL of you."

Jake groaned; if she wasn't careful he would say "fuck it" to the damn vows and bend her over their couch, fucking her senseless. He didn't want their first time to be like that, but right now, his need for her was at an all-time high. All he wanted was to bury his cock deep inside of her and stay there until the world ended. "Bells, we gotta stop this; if we don't I might end up coming through with my earlier threat," he said through gritted teeth.

"No, we aren't stopping anything," she said with conviction, her lips moments from his. "I know you want this. I know you want me. You want to run your hands all over me, taste my skin, feel my body turn to mush under your touch... fuck me," Bella pushed him further, taking his hand and dipping it under her top and up to her full breasts. Jake instinctively groaned and palmed her drool-worthy breasts, rolling his finger over her hardening nipple. Fuck, he wanted his mouth over them now. "Is that what you want, baby? Because I know what I want; I want to ride your hard cock, milk you with my tight walls, hear you moan my name as I make you come."

Holy fuck!

Jake was barely managing to keep himself together as Bella talked dirty to him. Christ, it sounded so fucking good. "You want that, Bells?" he asked squeezing her roughly, making her moan loudly. "Tell me you want my cock fucking that tight little pussy?"

Her eyes closed as his arm wrapped around her waist and brought her flush against his body. "Yes... God, I want that so bad..." she moaned, the room blurring as Jake spun her around and bent her over their leather couch.

"How badly?" he demanded, standing behind her; his hands on her hips slowly thrusting his erection into her. "Tell me; I need to hear it." He breathed heavily, his eyes shut tightly.

"So fucking badly, Jake..." she whimpered, her hands gripping the leather as she gasped - his hardness caressing her in all the right places. "Oh God, baby, please..." Bella whined, her body crying out for him.

"Please what, honey?" he persisted, pressing his hand onto her lower back, rolling his hips into her.

"Fuck me!" She cried. "I need you inside of me, Jake. I need to feel your big cock pounding in and out of me. I need to feel your body slick with sweat against mine. Oh shit, I want you so badly."

"Oh fuck," Jake hissed, his eyelids clenched. "I can't take this anymore. I need you; I need to be inside of you. Baby... fuck, you gotta let me take you."

A strangled moan escaped her lips as his intoxicating words soaked into her brain. Christ, how long had she waited to hear those words? But no matter how much she wanted it - they wanted it - she would never forgive herself if they took the final step and he lived to regret it. Being the good person sucked some serious ass sometimes.

Forcing herself to lift up, she turned to him, placed one hand over his heart and the other on his cheek, "Honey, I love you, so much. But listen to what you're saying. I want to make love to you more than anything, but I also don't want to rush this. You mean everything to me and if we did make love and you regretted it; how am I meant to live with that?" she asked softly, threading her fingers through his hair.

He sighed in frustration. All he wanted to do was make love to his girl, and do you think he could? As if. Jake dropped his head in her neck, running his nose along her skin. "I hate this. It's fucking torture. I love you so much and all I want to do is show you but I can't."

Pulling back to kiss those beautiful lips, he stroked her soft skin and pulled her close. "I would never regret making love to you; there's nothing I want more. I just don't know if I can keep holding back," he finished by kissing her lips tenderly and embracing her.

Their foreheads came together and rested against each other's, as they took a few seconds to cool off.

After a few minutes of calming their breathing and gazing deeply into each other's eyes; they were back to normal. "Maybe it's a good thing we stopped."

Jake furrowed his brows in confusion. "What do you mean?"

Bella smiled knowingly, "Well, I think we should maybe go grab some shut-eye; we have a big day tomorrow." She winked, slowly massaging his shoulders, as he continued to stare at her. "Well you mentioned earlier about meeting my parents, but I have something so much more terrifying for you to endure," she chuckled, kissing his chest.

He pulled back, looking down at her perplexed. "Where are you taking me, woman?"

She slipped her hands sensually down his arms and laced her fingers with his, tugging on them and hinting for him to follow her into their bedroom. "Tomorrow my sexy hunk, you are going to meet one of the most important women in my life," once they were in their own sanctuary, she closed the door and wrapped her arms around his neck. "My Nan."

Jake was speechless. He couldn't believe she actually wanted him to meet her Nan. "Y-You really want me to meet her?"

She nodded happily; the smile slowly fading into a frown as he hadn't responded in the way she hoped. "Unless you don't want to?" She went to pull away - feeling a little rejected and humiliated, when he stopped her.

"Are you serious?" Jake said with elation, grasping and kissing every inch of her face. "Baby I'd love to meet your Nan! God, I love you so fucking much."

Bella locked her arms around his neck and kissed him back with as much fervour, only breaking the kiss to call his bluff. "You love me?"

"What do you think?" he breathed, taking her hand and placing it over his raging erection. He let out a short breath of anticipation when he felt her gentle fingers curl around his shaft. "Can't you see the effect you have on me?" Jake moaned as he felt her move slowly over his length, "Christ, Bella, I love you so fucking much, it kills me."

Her free hand lifted to his nape and began to stroke the soft strands, while she leaned in and kissed the spot of his neck that drove him crazy. "I think you need to take me to bed and show me just how much you love me."

Jake growled, quickly removed her hand and swept her up into his arms. "Yes, ma'am."

~T&K~

"Are you ready for the whirlwind of mayhem that is my Nan?" Bella laughed, unbuckling her seatbelt and reaching for her purse.

Jake chuckled as he placed the car in park and freed himself from the seat. "I'm ready for anything if it means I get to spend the rest of my life with you."

"Smooth, Jake, very smooth," Bella thought as the sides of her lips curled into a happy smile.

They both climbed out of the car; cameras and journalists surrounding them asking if Jake was ever going to "pop the question" or other more... personal things. Bella quickly grabbed his hand as he clenched it; his face reddened in anger as he went to turn around and introduce the man to his fist. "Ignore it, babe," she said, squeezing his hand reassuringly. "C'mon, you've got a Nan to meet." She winked and curled further into his side.

Half an hour later, Bella, Jake and her Nan were all sitting around her coffee table talking quite happily. Her Nan wasn't at all bothered by his celebrity status - the fact that she didn't even know who he was might have helped - the only thing she cared about was when she was going to expect her first great grandchild.

"Nanna!" Bella exclaimed, as she choked on her tea.

"Yes, darling?" she asked perfectly innocently, while dipping a biscuit in her tea.

Meanwhile Jake sat next to his girl, stifling a laugh. Strangely the thought of having children with Bella seemed perfectly natural; it didn't freak him out one bit.

"You can't go around saying things like that!"

Her Nan shrugged, setting her tea on the table. "And why not?" She countered, "You are my only grandchild and I want a great grandchild to spoil rotten before old age finally catches up to me. I'm not going to stay young forever you know." she turned her gaze onto Jake and winked.

He chuckled lightly, squeezed Bella's hand and took over before she had a heart attack. "Mrs. Swan, I love Bella very much and even though we are still young - the thought of having children with her makes me extremely happy." He moved his gaze onto the love of his life. "I don't plan on going anywhere. I'm in this, like really in this, and there's nowhere else I'd rather be. Whenever she is ready to take that step with me; I'll be here waiting with open arms."

Bella's eyes glazed over with tears of happiness as she gazed at her man. She leaned in and softly kissed his lips, whispering how much she loved him. Meanwhile her Nan was sitting in her armchair swooning and ahhing. "Well I have to say, it's about time my Bella found a man worthy of her love and heart. Darling, you know I love you very much, but your taste in men wasn't the best, at least not until you introduced me to this fine young specimen."

Bella blushed profusely and avoided looking at Jake. "Jee, thanks, Nanna."

She waved it off and moved the conversation on further, "While I would like a great grandchild; I hope you are both being safe?"

Both Bella and Jake spat their tea out over the oak coffee table and swallowed thickly. "Oh would you look at that, Golden Girls is on! Nanna, you love this program, right," she ground out, hoping her Nan would take the enormous hint.

Luckily she received the hint and chuckled lightly, winking. Bella and Jake couldn't help but laugh. They knew she meant no harm, she was just looking out for her grandchild. They spent the next few hours watching re-runs of Golden Girls and reminiscing over old times. Jake never really knew what a normal family was like; while he knew his parents loved him, they were very focused on his career and although he appreciated that, moments like this were one in a million. It was in that moment he made a vow to himself: if he and Bella ever did have a family; he wanted it to be like this - relaxed, loving and down to earth. And, he knew with Bella by his side; they could easily achieve that.

~T&K~

In the months that followed; the plan that had been forming in Jake's head to prove his love for Bella was slowly coming together. He had finished filming and had just finished touring around the world promoting it.

One night over dinner, Bella suggested Jake meet her parents and he agreed wholeheartedly. The visit happened a few days later and her mother instantly fell in love with him. Of course, they were a little wary as to how fast their daughter's new relationship was moving, and it didn't ease the situation when Bella informed them they had bought a house and had been living together for almost six months. Charlie was a little more cautious, but after they watched a few football games and drank some beers, he found that Jake was an alright kid.

So with the blessings of both sets of parents under their belts, Jake and Bella were free to live their lives however they chose.

And that's exactly what they did.

~T&K~

Early Saturday morning, Jake and Bella were cruising down the highway in their Porsche convertible on their way to another date. The roof was down, the sun beamed down on them hotly as they flew through the back roads of Nevada. It was the kind of day where people were out in denim shorts, sandals and vest tops, walking their dogs or dining with friends. It was a perfect day, and the fact that she was now being whisked off to some surprise location-which was becoming suspiciously familiar with each passing mile-by her gorgeous and sexy actor of a boyfriend, made it all the more thrilling.

"You're dying to know where I'm taking you, aren't ya?" Jake asked with a smug smirk on his face, while keeping his eyes firmly locked on the road.

She huffed and folded her arms in protest, while giving him a cute little pout. "Babe, you know I'm crap with surprises," she whined, shifting slightly in her seat and turning to face him.

He chuckled and reached over to interlace her hand with his and brought it to his lips giving her a tender kiss. "Don't worry, baby. I promise, you'll love what I have in store for you." He smiled and winked and her.

Only the thoughts collecting in his head were far from confident.

Please let her like this...

He'd had this planned for weeks and was waiting for the perfect time and opportunity, only one never seemed to arise. So he took matters into his own hands and helped the surprise along a little. Jake had contacted Quil, Embry, Alice and Shelly and asked for them to meet him at the spot and bring a few things with them. Now he just had to hope and pray his planning and plotting paid off...and that's what scared him the most...

~T&K~

Twenty minutes later Jake pulled into the beaten up and abandoned airfield just off of Nevada, the exact location of their first meet and began to slow the car until it came to a stop.

Confusion surged through her body. Why were they here? She thought they were going on a date? Was this not the case?

Bella then looked over to a nervous and anxious looking Jake and quirked her brow. Ok, what was going on?

He ran his hand along his nape edgily, while using the thumb on his free hand to rub soothing circles over her knuckles affectionately. "So...you are...er...probably wondering why I brought you here, huh?" he said uncertainly, his gorgeous face contorted into a nervous expression; the hand that was locked with hers now starting to perspire.

"A little," she admitted, smiling dubiously. Don't get her wrong, she loved and trusted Jake with her life, but her and surprises were a big no-no. They didn't gel well.

Jake gave her a beseeching smile and gently cupped her face. "I know you don't do surprises, but please trust me baby. Just wait a little longer; it'll be worth it when the time comes, I promise."

Her heart melted. Jacob Black didn't plead or beg anyone. That wasn't his style. Her, however, she was a different case entirely. Bella Swan he would do absolutely anything for. That woman was the love of his life, owner of his heart, soul mate and saviour. If she was happy, so was he.

Bella conceded, although she still had hundreds of unanswered questions zooming around her head that were begging to be asked, but instead, she left it and allowed him this time to do what he so eagerly wanted. She gave him a gentle, agreeing smile and kissed his lips. "I trust you. I know you'd never do anything to make me feel uncomfortable, so I promise I'll behave."

Jake beamed; his pearly- white smile almost blinding her and kissed her passionately then climbed out of the car. He jogged around to her side and opened the door for her, holding out his hand and offering it as leverage to help her up. Once out of the vehicle, he shut the door behind her and weaved his thick, muscular arm protectively around her waist.

"Well it's about fucking time!" Quil bellowed brashly from the side of the track, causing Bella to wince, Jake to growl in warning because the prick had made his girl wince, and Shelly to slap him across the back of the head.

"Zip it, Ateara." she forewarned, glaring at him murderously. "So what if they're late? What are you his fucking PR? Stop being such a spoilt pussy." She then groaned, immediately regretting the word 'pussy'.

Quil spun around and gave her a seductive look, waggling his eyebrows for all he was worth. "You want me to stop being a spoiled pussy, huh?" he shot back in clarification. "Bring that sexy ass over here and I'll gladly spoil yours."

"Ok, eww, not an image I want in my head..." Alice grimaced.

"Tell me about it," Embry agreed, shaking his head in disgust at his friend.

Jake growled loudly, the force of his demand vibrating through his body. "Ateara, shut the fuck up and stop making my girl feel uncomfortable. When I want your opinion, I'll give it to you." He then turned to Embry, "Did you do what I asked?"

He nodded, "Sure did, brother. I did everything you asked, they are just waiting on you now. Floor's yours."

Ok, now he was nervous. His heart was beating so fast, he thought he was having a damn heart attack.Please let this go as planned...

"What's going on, Jake? Who's waiting on you?" Bella asked confused, looking up at him through those beautiful brown lashes. He smiled, dipped down and pressed a loving kiss onto her forehead.

"S'nothing, baby. Would you do me a favour?" he asked softly, stroking her strands gently.

She nodded, still a little confused. "Of course."

"I left something in the glove compartment in the car, would you go get it for me, please?" Please, please, please...

Bella smiled brightly, "Sure. I'll be right back."

Jake watched nervously as her fine form swayed towards their car; his heart now in his throat.

She opened the car door, knelt on the seat for support and opened the glove compartment. There sitting on a road map was a small, gorgeous baby blue box wrapped in a silver ribbon. Bella narrowed her eyes in confusion, her heart rate involuntarily increasing as she leaned forward to pick it up. The box was as light as a feather and designed with delicate silver swirls hand painted on the side.

"Go on, open it," came Jake's deep and shaky voice from behind her, startling her slightly.

Hesitantly she did as instructed, meanwhile repeatedly telling herself it wasn't what she thought, but secretly praying it was.

Only as she pulled the ribbon and lifted the lid to reveal what was inside, she saw that it was in fact what she thought. Her heart literally stopped and tears of happiness stung the backs of her eyes. Sitting on a black velvet cushion was a stunning emerald-cut diamond set in a platinum band.

It was beautiful.

"It's a family heirloom. It's been in my family for generations." Jake told her quietly, wrapping his hands lovingly around her slim waist. "My mother told me when I was eighteen that when the time was right, and I'd found the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with and loved with all of my heart, I should give her this." He motioned to the elegant looking ring in the box. Bella couldn't help but sniffle. God, she loved this man so much.

He gently placed his fingers under her chin and turned her to face him, while slowly leaning back against the wheel of his car, gazing deeply and intently into her eyes and continued. "I love you, Bella. There is no one else for me, you are my world; you saved me and I'll never be able to truly repay you for that, but I'm never going to stop trying. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, love you, have children with you and cherish you like you truly deserve." He stroked her cheeks softly; a lump of emotion now lodged in the back of his throat. "Will you let me do that, baby?" he asked nervously, his eyes glistening with tears. "Will you marry me, Isabella Swan?"

Was this really happening? Or was this her mind's messed up way of having a laugh with her? Did he really just propose to her? Oh my God...

At last.

"C'mon! Put the guy out of his damn misery for fuck sake," Quil said jokingly, making Bella laugh through her emotion.

Jake's lip curled up into an amused smile at his friends outburst, but his gaze never left Bella's.

It wasn't until she smiled his smile, the one that always blew him away, that he finally took a breath. Even though she hadn't said it verbally, he saw it in her eyes. Those beautiful eyes.

Before he could even blink, his Bells had all but launched herself at him, crying esctatically, "Yes! Yes I'll marry you!"

"Wahoooo!" Their friends yelled from behind them; whistling and catcalling as Jake held her close, kissed her passionately and spun her around as they revelled in their joyous moment.

"God, I love you so much, Bella," he proclaimed, kissing her once, twice, three times; never ever being able to get enough of her sensual touch and her beautiful heart.

She smiled brightly and pressed her forehead to his. "Right back at you, baby," she whispered, her voice consumed by love.

"So, you think you'll be able to tame the elusive Mr. Black?" Quil teased, nudging Bella playfully.

She laughed and looked her man straight in the eyes, "Oh yeah, I'm gonna be cracking that whip." She winked at Jake and kissed him, earning a genuine laugh from him. "Question is, is he ready to handle all that I have to offer?" She quirked her brow at him challengingly and smirked.

Jake chuckled and pulled her close, nuzzling her nose with his, "Baby, I was born ready."

****OK, epilogue will be up soon! Another story almost finished! Whoop!****
