Hey, guys! Thanks to all my loyal and wonderful reviewers! I love you all, and PLEASE continue to review! This chapter may start out a bit boring, but it will get better, I promise! Don't give up on poor Bella just yet, she's coming around ;D But, who wouldn't, right? It's Jake! Lol. So, anyway, this chapter should satisfy those who wanted to see more of cute adorable Mason, but be assured, he's not going anywhere. I love the little guy, isn't he just so adorable? Anyway, without further ado, here is the next chapter of my story, Breakfast and a nap…

Previously…

"Stay inside today. Please? It's not…just stay inside, ok?" Jake told me, his eyes pleading with me.

"Uh…sure. We'll stay inside," I promised, nodding again.

Jake nodded in acceptance and turned for the door, but he paused again and looked at me. I saw the same fire in his eyes that had been there when we were kissing in the bedroom and my breath caught. The next thing I knew, he was kissing me again, only this time his lips were ravaging mine in a rough and passionate kiss. It was so different from when I was with Edward, and I loved it all the more because of it. When he pulled away, we remained close, our breaths mingling together and his hands in my hair.

He panted and then inhaled slowly. "Stay inside."

"Okay," I answered shakily.

He pressed one last chaste kiss on my lips and strove out the door.

Breakfast and a nap

After Jake had left, I finished setting out the breakfast onto the dining table, but my mind was preoccupied with something else. Why had Jake wanted me to stay inside today? Was it not safe? Was there a…vampire close by? He wouldn't have told me if there was, so that was a possibility. I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. Jake would protect me, of that I was sure.

After setting the table, I went to Mason's room and peeked in through the open door. He was sitting on the floor cross-legged and had a toy car in his hand, moving it across the floor quickly and making engine noises with his mouth. I didn't say anything to announce my presence because I wanted to watch him. He continued to play, oblivious to me being there. I smiled when he made the car jump into the air and flip, all the while smiling like he'd just been given the toy as a gift. He was such a beautiful boy, and he was mine. I felt love blooming across my chest for this boy and smiled at how good it felt.

"Mason," I quietly called.

His head shot up and his face shone brightly when he saw me.

"Hi, mommy!" he greeted, smiling.

I returned his smile. "Are you ready for your eggs, bacon, and pancakes?"

He quickly forgot about the toy and jumped up. "Yes!"

"Come on, then. It's ready," I told him.

He ran ahead of me and sat down at the dining room table, eyeing the food before him greedily. Again, this boy is definitely Jake's son. Then, he suddenly frowned.

"Mommy, where's Daddy?" he asked me.

Crap. I froze, but tried to quickly recover. I couldn't let him know that I was alarmed at Jake's behavior this morning.

"He had to go see Uncle Sam this morning about something," I answered after a short pause and grabbed a plate and began filling it with portions of the food.

Mason must have been satisfied with this, because he didn't bring it up again. I set the plate down in front of him and then grabbed a plate for myself.

Throughout the meal, Mason talked constantly while still managing to practically inhale his food. I, however, took my time, as my mind traveled back to last night…and this morning. I missed Jake's arms around me. I missed his happy smile. I also found myself not only missing this new Jake, but also my Jake, the young boy who was my best friend and was also head over heels in love with me. I was pulled from my thoughts by Mason's pleading voice.

"Mommy, can I please have some more?" he asked sweetly, holding up his empty plate.

"Sure, Mason," I answered and got up to refill his portions.

He thanked me and I sat back down, still missing Jacob.

When Mason had finished eating, he yawned and I noticed that his eyelids were drooping.

"Mason, do you need a nap now?" I asked. It was very obvious that he did. Kids often take naps during the day, right?

He yawned again. "No," he stubbornly replied, though weakly.

"Okay," I falsely relented and began cleaning up, having finished my plate long before Mason. When everything was put away and Jake's plate of food was stored in the microwave, I looked over at Mason. He had his head and walked over to him. I reached my hand out and ruffled his hair, causing him to lazily open his eyes.

"Mommy?" he asked, his voice thick with sleep.

"Yeah?" I whispered, still feeling a bit weird with the whole 'mommy' thing…just a little, though, because he was definitely growing on me.

"Can I sleep in your bed with you?" he asked.

I smiled and replied quietly, "Sure." I couldn't deny him that.

Apparently, I was taking a nap, too. I wrapped my arms around Mason and lifted him from the chair. His arms came up around my neck while his legs rested on either side of my waist. I carried him to mine and Jake's bedroom and laid him carefully on the bed on Jake's side. He snuggled into the pillow while I covered him with the comforter. Then, I walked to the other side of the bed and crawled in beside him. Mason turned towards me and burrowed himself into my arms. I smiled contentedly and tried to shut off my mind. Mason's soft breathing lulled me gently to sleep and we were soon dreaming side by side.

I certainly hope that Mason's dreams were better than mine. Edward was there, and I was overjoyed…until I saw the bloodthirsty look in his eyes. Yeah, I know that saying his expression was 'bloodthirsty' is corny, but that's really the only word to describe the look of pure desire and fury on his pale face. I was running from him, running toward Jacob, who was standing about a hundred feet ahead…so close, his arms open, his smile wide. I could feel myself wanting to turn back to Edward, wanting to let him catch me. He was gaining fast, and I was slowing down, surrendering. My sanity fought it, fought giving in to that lustful look on his face. But, it was too late. Edward snarled and grabbed my hair, jerking it roughly, pulling me into his cold, hard chest. "You're mine, Isabella. No one else's!" he growled. I felt his lips on my neck, and I screamed as his fangs pierced my skin, seeing Jake fading from existence in front of me, his eyes sad, and his posture broken…

I gasped as I woke from my dream. I quickly remembered where I was and I felt Mason's even breathing next to me. I slowly began to breathe steadily again and my heart ceased it's hammering in my chest.

It was still light in the room, so we probably hadn't slept very long. But, it was raining now. The steady thrumming of the rain on the roof calmed me, but the dream had shaken me up too much to sleep. I slowly and gently pried Mason's arms from around me and got out of bed, managing to do so without waking him. I thought about getting dressed and maybe taking a walk close to the house, but then remembered Jake's warning…and Edward's face from my dream, his snarl of utter hunger…I cringed and shook my head, hoping to clear my thoughts.

I headed to the kitchen, wanting to get the dishes washed from earlier. I passed the living room on my way and I saw, lying there on the coffee table where I had left it, the photo album that contained all my "memories". I hesitated, darting my eyes back and forth between the kitchen sink full of dishes and the photo album and made a quick decision.

So, what did you think? Sorry for the random cliffie…I miss Jake, don't you guys? Only one chapter without him, and I really want him back Sorry this one is so short. I was originally gonna make one big huge 3000-word chapter, but I don't have time right now, so I just halved it. So, here's the first one. I hope you liked it, and please review! I'll love you forever! Oh, and the rest of this chapter IS ALREADY WRITTEN! I just have to type it so don't be too depressed I Myself will try not to be
