JPOV
After Bella had told me she was going to meet up with her friend Alex, I decided it was probably the best opportunity to go for a hunt. I hadn't gone for a fulfilling hunt for awhile, and even thought my bloodlust was control, it didn't subside the burning and aching in my throat. It was begging me to let the inner animal out. So I asked the family to come with me, for some bonding time as you could call it. Everyone agreed without a second thought, though I just hoped I would be doing this with Bella in no time at all. As soon as the baby was born, I would change her, myself, no second guesses.
"Jasper hurry up!" Edward yelled, he was a good 300 meters ahead of me, clearly noticing my distraction as I usually tried to overtake him, though that was nearly impossible. I sped up my pace and caught up to the rest of the family in no time.
"Sorry." I mumbled, keeping my pace with everyone else.
"Wait." Alice whispered, knowing everyone could hear her more than perfectly.
"Alice?" Carlisle asked, Emmett automatically at her side, wrapping his arm around her.
"Our future, I – I can't see it." What did she mean she couldn't see our future? Like we would all get destroyed?
"That would be our fault." The familiar voice of Jacob black sounded.
"I thought I smelt wet dog." Emmett said, whipping his head around to look at the one human and eleven wolves submerging from the dense trees.
"What do you want?" I growled, knowing full well they weren't here for a social visit.
"Bella is pregnant?" Jacob spat.
"Yes, she is. How does this concern you Jacob?" Carlisle said, suddenly making the crowd a little calmer by his human ways of settling things. I could feel all the tension evaporating, though a lot of that had to do with my help.
"This baby needs to be destroyed." He growled glaring at me the whole time. In a mere fraction of a second I took a defensive pose and ignored the growls from the wolves and sighs from my family. They had no idea what Bella and I had gone through. That this baby was our life and we would both gladly die to try and protect it. Jacob was supposed to be her best friend, I just didn't understand how he could want this for her.
"It's best if you leave." Edward said, suppressing a snarl himself. We all knew he still cared for Bella immensely, and even if it made me jealous sometimes, it definitely had its perks.
"Watch your backs bloodsuckers." Jacob said before phasing. I kept my stance for five minutes, not wanting them to catch me by surprise. I was probably being irrational, but I cared so much for Bella and our babies safety that it hurt. I could feel everyone's eyes boring into me, but I didn't dare take my eyes off the forest, knowing full well that if I lost my concentration for one second I could lose everything that ever mattered to me.
"Jasper, come on buddy." Emmett said putting a reassuring hand on my shoulder. I relaxed my posture and painfully tore my eyes away from the tree's.
"You're right," I sighed. "I'm going to go find Bella asap, I'm just hoping she is home already." I sighed again, sprinting off, well aware that everyone was letting me get my distance before following.
I entered the house, the first thing I noticed was Bella's small, frail body curled up on the large couch. I could see her chest rising and falling, making her body move along with it. Her breathing was erratic, like she had been crying. Then I heard her sob. "Bella?" I ran to her side before her heart could even beat again. "Oh god Bella? Who hurt you? Where does it hurt?" I asked, roaming my hand all over her body. I was about to growl and tear the fucking house down to find that wolf when her voice brought me back to my human side, if you could call it that.
"What makes you think anyone hurt me? What's going on?" Suddenly suspicious of my instant fear.
"Oh um, no reason." I said, dumbfounded. I couldn't ever think straight with Bella around me.
"Jasper." She growled, trying her best to look menacing. I tried not to laugh, even if they situation was as serious as this.
"We met up with the wolves in the forest, trying to attack us." I said, somewhat giving in. I didn't particularly want to tell her the whole story, not wanting to add extra stress onto her and the baby. She caught on to my expression and smiled a lopsided smile.
"Oh." She said, changing the subject. "Did they hurt you?" Always worried, no werewolf could ever hurt me, not enough so they could get closer to the love of my existence anyway. I closed my eyes and drew a long, unnecessary breath before speaking again.
"Everyone is fine sweet heart do not stress. Though we will need to discuss some things later." After the birth sounded good to me, but I knew that wasn't going to happen. It just wasn't my sort of luck.
"I'm not." She said, though I could hear the strain in her voice. She was tired and needed plenty of rest. I picked her up gently, being careful not to jostle her fragile body too much and ran her upstairs, lying her on the bed. I kissed her lips tenderly before kissing her stomach, my baby. I pulled the covers over her and retreated out of the room, only to find my family sitting around the living room. Alice on the floor on Emmett's lap while the rest were sitting on the couch staring at me intently.
"Yes?" I said purposely putting on the southern twang.
"You have to tell her Jasper." Rosalie broke the silence.
"Not yet, she has been through a lot today by the looks of it. Give me a bit."
"You better mean that bro." Emmett said, running his hands through Alice's hair.
"I know Bella almost as well as you do Jasper, maybe even more and we both know she hates being kept in the dark." Edward spoke. My eyes darkened at the thought of him knowing Bella better than I.
"Bella is my fiancé, She is carrying my baby, I think I can decide when I want to fucking tell her something." I shocked myself and everyone else in the room by so openly swearing but they knew it, it was my decision, and they knew if they told her before I did, they would be headless in a second. Edward laughed at my thoughts, hitting his knee like he was about to cry, if he could.
"As if you could do that to a certain someone!" Edward laughed looking pointedly to Emmett.
"We all know he is just a big teddy bear." I said, running over to Emmett and pinching his stone cheek. He slapped my arm away still somewhat confused. All the tension in the room evaporated as everyone caught on to what me and Edward were laughing hysterically at. I wish it were always this easy.
