Chapter 14 – Dark Clouds Ahead

Jacob's POV

I picked up Ness's hand as the plane began to descend, lightly kissing her soft knuckles. We were going to be landing in Port Angeles soon, and then it was back to La Push. In a way, I was sad to see Seattle go.

Even after running into Leah at the club, Renesmee hadn't let the mood be spoiled for either of us. Her never ending enthusiasm for life had quickly bounced back. We'd danced the rest of the night away, Ness for the most part sitting in my lap as I rocked the chair back and forth in time to the music. I had noticed guys watching her hungrily the few times she'd danced around me, her hypnotic hips swaying to the music, but she never saw anyone but me. And I had made sure to kiss and hold her close so that everyone knew she was with me.

Afterwards, we went back to our hotel and continued where we had left off in the penthouse. We'd taken our time loving each other, spending our entire Sunday pleasuring one another. We had played a sensual game, each trying to outdo the other.

I yawned and closed my eyes briefly. Though it had been a great weekend, catching an early flight home the next day probably hadn't been the best idea. The plane landed and Ness and I were allowed to leave the plane first. Getting into my wheelchair, we retrieved our bags from the luggage terminal and made our way to where we had parked my car. Climbing into the driver's side, I looked at Ness and wiggled my eyebrows up and down a few times.

"So…what do you want to do when we get back?"

Renesmee's face turned seductive. I watched with anticipation as she leaned close to me. I went still as I felt her lips brush my jaw.

"I'm exercising your ass," she answered.

"Perfect," I told her as I turned my head and claimed her lips with mine. Pulling away slightly, I said, "That's exactly what I had in mind."

"No, you don't understand," Ness replied with a smirk. She moved back over to her side of the car. "We haven't done physical therapy in a few days. You're going to workout when you get home."

"Tease," I said before whining jokingly, "We only just got back."

"I don't care. It's Monday, which means it's a workout day for you," she returned. "Your legs will never get better if you don't consistently work out."

"They're never going to get better regardless," I stated matter-of-factually.

"Jacob—"

"No, it's okay," I interrupted before she could lecture me. "I'm really okay with it now, Ness."

"How can you say that?"

I looked out the front windshield with a frown. "I've always believed that all things happen for a reason whether we know it or not. I finally figured out why this happened to me."

"And why is that?"

I looked at her tenderly then. "If I hadn't gotten hurt, we wouldn't be where we are right now. I love you, Nessie. If it weren't for the accident, you'd probably still be with that dickhead, and I'd still be with the witch."

"Don't call them that," she said, even as a half smile appeared on her lips.

"The point is that I've accepted who I am. I know that I'm still me even if I am confined to a wheelchair. And that's all because of you. Whether I walk again or not is irrelevant, as long as I have you."

Renesmee gave a little sniff. "That's probably the sweetest, most romantically mushy thing anyone's ever said to me."

I grinned widely at her. "I aim to please."

"It still doesn't get you out of your afternoon exercises," she told me with a lift of one eyebrow.

"Fine," I grumbled as I started the car, but I felt a smile tug on my lips as I heard Renesmee giggle next to me.

We made our way back to the reservation. As we passed the center of town, I pulled the car up to a stop sign. Looking out my window, I saw Collin and Brady standing outside the rez's grocery store. They looked like they were having an argument. Collin threw his hands up in exasperation at one point. He caught sight of my car and waved. Brady turned in our direction. His face became glacial as soon as he saw Renesmee in the car with me. With what could only be described as a stomp, he hurried down the sidewalk. Collin pointed at Brady's back with his thumb and shook his head before making the jerk-off sign with his other hand. I nodded and gave him a wave, before putting the car into drive again.

"What's with Brady? Have we really offended him that much?" Renesmee asked in a quiet voice.

"He's become a bit of a zealot," I explained. "He thinks we're sinners because we got together before my divorce was finalized."

"I'm sorry," she whispered.

I glanced at her before concentrating back on the road. "What do you have to be sorry for?"

"For ruining your friendship."

"Ness, c'mon," I said as I pulled into my driveway. "If that's the kind of narrow-minded asshole that Brady is, it's no loss. Besides, it's not your fault."

Renesmee gave me a weak smile and got out of the now parked car without another word. She grabbed our bags as I reached behind me for my wheelchair. Once I was settled, we made our way inside the house—

And saw Seth in his boxer shorts eating at my kitchen island. Jenny was standing on the other side in her robe, pouring a cup of coffee. When she saw us, her hand jerked and coffee spilled over the side of her mug. Seth looked at us and smiled.

"Hey, how was Seattle?" he asked as though it were an everyday occurrence for us to find him half naked in my kitchen.

"How was Seattle?" I repeated dumbfounded. "What the hell is this?"

"Breakfast," Seth answered with a shrug, grabbing a muffin and stuffing his face.

I looked over at Renesmee to see if she was seeing the same thing I was. She had a half shocked/half amused expression on her face. I felt better knowing I wasn't the only one feeling confused.

"I mean you," I said to Seth. "What are you doing here?"

"Uh…Jake, that would be my fault." Jenny spoke for the first time.

"I thought you hated Seth," I reminded her and saw Seth cringe.

"I do," she quickly answered. Seth went pale and got up wobbly to his feet. Jenny's head whipped to his and her face instantly softened. "I mean I used to. I don't anymore though."

"I can see that," I replied, my eyes giving Seth's shirtless attire a once over.

Jenny's face flamed before she said almost questioningly, "Umm…we made up?"

"Yeah, I think I got that, too," I responded, starting to feel amusement in the situation. "Well, well, well, after all this time of you lecturing me, Jenny. How many times did you tell me over the summer that I should put every effort I had into winning Ness over? And you turn around and have sex in my house—in your employer's house—with someone you hate."

"Technically, I'm an employee too," Seth spoke up.

"This is shameful behavior…absolutely shameful," I told them gravelly while trying to fight off a smirk.

Nessie gave me a knowing look. "Stuff it, Jacob. After the way you've been acting towards me. You're my employer. Should I accuse you of sexual harassment?"

I picked up her hand and ran my thumb across the back of it. "Does it count as sexual harassment if you're a willing victim?"

Seth, who'd been eyeing our play-by-play like an avid sports fanatic, suddenly burst out, "Holy shit, you two slept together!"

"Classy, Seth," I said, rolling my eyes at him.

"You dirty dog you," he replied, giving me a shit-eating grin.

"You're one to talk," I stated, looking pointedly at Jenny who glared at me.

"You defiled my poor Nessie?" she remarked.

"Oh yeah," I boasted proudly. Renesmee made a huffing noise.

"And on that note, I'm going to unpack my bag," she told us. Glancing at me, she said, "Don't forget. I want to see you in the gym in a half hour."

"You two just got home. Don't you want to eat brunch?" Jenny said.

"That's okay, thanks Jenny," Ness responded. "Jake needs to do his exercises, or he'll pay for it later."

Seth snorted. "Didn't he get enough exercise this weekend? He's an old man, you know. You need to take it easy on the guy."

Jenny went over and smacked Seth on the back of the head. He responded by wrapping his arm around her waist and kissing the corner of her mouth. Jenny seemed to melt under the attention. This was going to take some getting used to.

"I think Jake can handle what I throw at him," Ness said, giving me a saucy wink, before going down the hallway to her bedroom.

I watched her leave, feeling myself grin as I stared at her butt. Seth said, "Jacob, stop smiling like that. You're beginning to scare me."

I sighed as Renesmee disappeared from my sight as she entered her room. Rolling my chair over to Jenny and Seth, I said, "So…when did this happen."

"Umm…" Jenny replied, looking at her fingernail suddenly as though it were the most interesting thing in the world. "I guess you could say it happened right after you were married."

"What?" I exclaimed.

"Not right away," Seth assured me. "We flirted for awhile, but we didn't actually have sex until the night my divorce became final."

"Jeez Seth," Jenny said, her face red again. "Ever hear of giving out too much information."

"It's called TMI," he answered, putting the word TMI in air quotes. "I'm down with the kids' lingo, baby."

"Aww, that's so sweet, honey," she responded, leaning in to kiss Seth's lips.

"Yeah…I really don't need to be here for this, do I?" I spoke dryly.

"Sorry." Jenny pulled away from Seth's embrace. "Anyway, Seth was a complete ass to me after it happened—"

"Typical," I interrupted, which they both ignored.

"And I've been trying to win Jen back ever since," Seth said, looking at her adoringly.

"Yes, you have, sweetheart," Jenny said, snuggling into Seth's side. I made a gagging noise. Jenny glared at me in return. "Anyway, Seth came over on Friday—"

"And I told her how much I needed her in my life," Seth interjected.

"And then after we talked, I invited him to come back over Saturday night to eat some apple pie I made," Jenny explained.

"Which was amazing, by the way," Seth remarked, earning him a glowing look from Jenny. "And then I came over again last night to watch some movies..."

"And we started kissing…"

"And one thing led to another…"

"And…" They both said in unison.

I quickly held up my hand. "I think I can figure out what happened next."

"I'm sorry, Jake," Jenny said as she looked at me in embarrassment. "We didn't realize you and Ness would be home so soon, otherwise we wouldn't have been dressed like this when you got here."

"That's okay. I'm just glad you were wearing something at all," I replied, grimacing when Seth leaned over and began whispering sappy sentiments in Jenny's ear making her giggle. I shook my head in amazement. Jenny was a tough, no nonsense woman. Yet in Seth's arms, she was putty.

"Is this how it's going to be from now on?" I questioned. "Will I be coming home every day to find Seth walking around my house in his boxers?"

"Well, if that's the way you want it," Seth said, batting his eyes at me.

I sighed dramatically and looked up at the ceiling. "Why do I surround myself with people like this?"

"People like what?" I heard Ness's voice and turned around. She was standing in tiny workout shorts and a sports bra. Very little was left to the imagination.

"Fuck me," I whispered aloud as I stared at the soft curves of her belly area.

"I think that's Nessie's job now," Seth replied, earning himself another hit on the back of the head from Jenny.

"You about ready?" Ness asked.

"I'd say he's more than ready." Seth snorted.

"That's it." I turned my chair so that I was facing my voyeurs. "Jen, take the day off. And take this dipshit with you."

"You got it, boss," Jenny said, giving Seth a look that made him instantly beam.

Muttering to myself, I rolled into my bedroom and quickly got changed. When I returned to the kitchen, it was to find it blessedly Seth-free. I went into the exercise room and found Renesmee on the floor doing stretches. I cocked my head as I took a moment to enjoy the view. I knew that Ness realized I was there when a quirky smile appeared on her lips.

"Well," she finally said, looking at me. "Are you going to workout or gawk?"

"Gawk, definitely," I told her.

She crossed her arms over her chest and gave a look that said, don't push it. Chuckling, I made my over to her and laid down on the mat. I started stretching out my arms as Ness had taught me to do in the past.

"So what do you think about Seth and Jenny?" she asked, as she grabbed my one leg. She placed it so that my knee rested on her shoulder while the rest of my leg went down her back. She leaned forward, stretching my useless thigh muscles. It was something a position we'd done countless times before, and each time it made my perverted mind go into overdrive. It was even worse after the weekend we'd just had. I forced myself to concentrate on the ceiling.

"I'm glad for them," I told her honestly. "Seth is a great guy. He deserves some happiness. So does Jenny."

"Yeah," Ness said as she started to work on the other leg, hovering over me as she stretched. "It seems that everything is working out for everyone."

"Mmhmm," I agreed. Reaching out quickly, I pulled her down on top of me causing her to shriek a little. "Speaking of things working out, Jen is going to be gone today. We have the place to ourselves."

"The only working out that's going to happen right now is you doing your exercises. I'm not doing anything else with you until we finish your physical therapy."

"You're withholding your body from me?" I said in mock despair.

"Absolutely. Now get to work, Black." She pulled away from me and went over to where we had some free weights. Grumbling, I started to make my way across the floor when I felt a sharp shooting pain in my body.

"What is it?" Renesmee asked, instantly rushing to my side.

"Spasm," I told her, trying to breath through the pain.

"Where is it?"

"Here," I rolled over on my stomach as carefully as I could and pointed to where the spasm was coming from.

"Is this a line?"

"What?" I could barely get out.

"You're having a spasm in your ass area?"

The pain was beginning to make its way upward. "Jesus, Renesmee, I'm not going to lie about something like this."

"Sorry." Her hands were instantly on me, applying just the right pressure. She worked quietly for a moment before she said, "You know, you should consider these spasms a good sign. It just means your nerve endings are talking to each other."

"Right," I gritted out as I closed my eyes. When the gripping pain began to ease, I felt my shoulders relax. "I'm sorry I snapped at you."

"That's okay," she said. "I should have known you were being serious."

I smiled a little. "Still, it did get your hands on my butt…"

"Forget it, I'm onto you now," Ness replied. "How do you feel now? Is the pain gone?"

"Yeah, thanks," I said, cautiously rolling over onto my back.

She looked at me carefully. "Is that the first time you've had a pain in that region?"

"A pain in the butt?" I replied with a snort. "Nah, Seth just left."

"I'm serious, Jacob."

I sat up on my elbows. "I don't know, maybe. Why?"

Ness was beginning to look excited. "The area that triggered your spasm was very close to your upper thigh. You're beginning to feel pain closer to your legs."

"Oh," I said, trying not to get too excited myself. "That doesn't mean anything though."

Renesmee moved so that she was near my feet. I watched as she touched one foot, running her fingers from the heel to the toes. It aggravated me to no end that I couldn't actually feel that.

"Anything?" she asked.

"No," I told her despondently.

She moved so that she was sitting next to my knees. She leaned down and placed her hands on my outer ankles before moving them up to my knees. She looked at me questioningly and I shook my head. She got to my upper thigh area and again I had to shake my head when I didn't feel anything. Frustration overtook me and I slammed my one fist against the floor mat.

"It's okay, Jake."

"How is it okay?" I questioned hopelessly.

"Because…" She picked up my hand and placed it against my head. "You still feel here."

She next moved my hand to my heart. "And you still feel here."

I looked at her and was surprised to see tears in her eyes.

"You're still alive, Jacob," she whispered. "Whether you walk again or not, you're still alive. I've had nightmares thinking about what could have happened to you during the accident. At least you're with me."

She moved my hand so that it was next to her mouth. She gave the center of my palm a kiss.

"That's true. We have each other," I said gruffly. I pulled her to me. This time she didn't resist. "I love you Renesmee Cullen."

"I love you, too," she murmured before joining her mouth to mine.

We spent the next couple of hours christening the floor mats like I'd always wanted to. And over the next week, Ness and I spent every moment together. Our days were filled with laughter and physical therapy. Our evenings were filled with discussion and movie marathons. And our nights were filled with passion.

Ness didn't return to her room after our Seattle weekend. Instead, we spent hours in my bed talking, touching, discovering, and becoming closer than we'd ever been before. During our exploration into the land of intimacy, I discovered that Ness was a cuddler. She liked to be held throughout the night; something I had always abhorred doing before. Yet with Ness, my arms felt empty if I didn't hold her. We were in a world of our own, completely secluded from the rest of society. Somewhere in the background was Jenny, running things as smoothly as ever, giving us food and drink when we resurfaced, but otherwise, it was just Nessie and me.

I was completely and utterly happy. Life with Renesmee was like a dream come true for me...well almost. Somewhere in the back of my mind was my promise to Edward. I had told him I'd tell Renesmee the truth about my relationship with Bella and I had given my word. That was important to me. All I needed was the right time to tell her.

But like everything else in my life, things rarely worked to my advantage. I woke up Saturday morning feeling as though something was off. I reached for Ness, but she wasn't beside me. I quickly sat up and looked at her side of the bed. A note was attached to her pillow.

Out doing some errands. Will be back around noon. Jenny is out with Seth today, but she made you a quiche for breakfast. Be back soon.

Love,

Ness

I looked at the clock near my bedside table. It was almost 11:30 AM. Getting into my wheelchair, I went over to my bedroom window and checked the weather. There were dark clouds in the sky, but otherwise things looked perfectly normal. I still couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.

I made my way into the bathroom and took a shower. After getting dressed, I went into the kitchen and ate some of the quiche Jenny made. I was just finishing up when the doorbell rang. With a slight frown, I rolled myself to the door and opened it.

Leah was standing on the other side.

"Darling," she said, bending down to kiss my lips. I quickly rolled away from her before we could make contact.

"What the hell are you doing here, Leah?"

She entered the room and looked around. "This is nice, Jake. Quite the retreat you have here."

"Is this why you came to La Push?" I asked impatiently. "To discuss the décor?"

Leah turned back to me. She fiddled with the belt of her beige trench coat.

"Of course not, love. I came here to see you."

"Why?"

"I missed you, of course."

My eyes narrowed. "Cut the bullshit. What do you want?"

"Can I at least sit down?"

I jerked my head in the direction of the couch. She sat and resumed her inspection of the room.

"I love it here, Jacob. It's absolutely perfect."

Something in the way she stated that put me on edge. "Perfect for what?"

She gave me an innocent look. "Why, perfect for us, darling."

I stared at her as if she had just sprouted another head. "What the fuck are you talking about?"

Leah moved quickly. Before I knew it she was on her knees next to me. She grabbed my hand and held the back of it to her chest.

"I've decided that asking for a divorce was a horrendous mistake," she told me, giving me a smile as if that made up for everything.

"You mean my condition doesn't disgust you anymore? Have you forgotten that I'm still paralyzed?"

"Oh…that." Leah had the decency to blush. "We can work around that."

"Work around it? You served me divorce papers while I was in the hospital because you said you weren't cut out to live with a cripple."

"I was upset."

"And I wasn't?" I asked incredulously.

"Jake, you're the only man I've ever truly loved," she said simply. A part of me almost believed her. Maybe Leah did love me in her own way…as much as she was capable of loving someone other than herself.

"Leah, the only reason we married was because of the baby. It was over the moment our son was stillborn."

Leah flinched. "Must you say it so coldly?"

"If that's the only way to get through to you then yes. I don't know why you're here now when you've had all this time to reconsider, but I have no interest in resuming our marriage. Our lives together were miserable. You cheated on me numerous times…did you think I wasn't aware of that?"

"Yet I always came back to you," Leah defended as if that made it okay.

"And why did you come back? For the money? The prestige?"

"I told you already. It's because I love you, Jacob," she stated dramatically.

I shook my head. "That's not the kind of love I want or need. It's over, Leah. There's someone else now."

Leah's cheeks burned in angry rejection. She stood up in front of me, her hands going to the belt of her coat.

"I can make you forget her…just like I made you forget Bella." She undid her coat and pushed it off her body, revealing a black lace teddy. "We were always good together this way."

I was so shocked I didn't react as Leah sat down on my lap. She grabbed my hand and placed it on the area between her thighs.

"Make me wet for you, darling," she murmured. I snapped out of my stupor and was trying to pull my hand away when I heard the front door open. Leah heard it too. She tightened her grip on my wrist, holding me to her as she mashed her lips against mine and began moaning loudly.

"Am I interrupting something?" Renesmee's cold voice asked.

I tore my mouth away from Leah. I looked at Ness with horror on my face. She looked at me as if I'd just climbed out of the fiery pits of hell.

"Ness, this isn't what it looks like," I stated, instantly cringing at the old cliché.

"What? You're not finger fucking Leah right now?" she questioned lividly.

"Oh Nessie, this is what married people do," Leah said sneeringly.

My patience reached its boiling point. With my temper snapping, I shoved Leah off my lap. She landed at my feet ungracefully.

"Get out," I told her menacingly, my lips barely moving in my fury. "If you come near me again, I'll file a restraining order. Wouldn't that be something for the society pages to write about?"

The threat was enough to make Leah stand to her feet, her body shaking in its indignation.

"Over her?" Leah screeched, pointing to Renesmee.

"I told you our marriage is over. I told you I found someone else. I love Ness more than I've ever loved anyone…including you." I was beyond trying to spare Leah's feelings at this point. In the nine years of constant fighting, being cheated on, and being humiliated by this woman, she had rarely ever considered mine.

Renesmee's expression softened at my words, though she stiffened when Leah scoffed and said, "You love her more than anyone else? Really Jacob? What about your precious Bella? Do you love her more than the woman you've been obsessed with for years?"

"Shut the fuck up!" I roared. Her face became triumphant right before she turned to Renesmee who was now looking at me with disbelieving eyes.

"Did he tell you that he loved you?" Leah asked piteously. "Well dearie, he lied. He could never love you. He never even loved me. He's been in love with your darling mother since before you were born. He's completely obsessed by her. He used to shout out her name while he was climaxing inside of me—"

"Leah, that's enough!" I yelled furiously. She ignored me. Renesmee became paler with each word Leah spoke.

"But then again, I guess it's difficult to get over the first woman you ever slept with," Leah finished victoriously.

At that Renesmee blanched. Her face was now ashen as she looked at me with horrified eyes. "You slept with my mother?"

I felt my world unravel. "Nessie, let me explain—"

"And you've been in love with her all these years?"

"Ness, please," I pleaded, but it was too late. The guilty admittance was written all over my face.

She backed away slowly, her head shaking back and forth, her eyes wide. Without another word, Renesmee turned and fled down the hall. I heard her bedroom door close quietly behind her. Leah turned and looked at me smugly.

"Ah…there's nothing like a woman scorned, wouldn't you say, darling?"

I looked at Leah and felt a dead calm that I'd never experienced before. I pulled my cell phone out of my pocket and dialed a number. Jasper's voicemail picked up several moments later.

"Jasper, this is Jacob Black. I want to get a restraining order against Leah. I also want to renegotiate the terms of the divorce. I know I told you that I wouldn't enforce the pre-nuptial agreement I had with Leah, but I want to do that now. I want everything. Our penthouse in Seattle, the cars…all of it. I also want to make sure that the monthly allowance I had initially offered her doesn't happen. Leah gets nothing, understand? If her lawyer gives you any problems, make sure the judge knows that Leah abandoned our marriage while I was in the hospital. And contact your investigator Maria. Get the pictures she took of Leah having sex on that beach in Barbados while I was laid up in the hospital. The judge should see that as well."

I hung up the phone. Leah looked at me with loathing and fear.

"You had someone spy on me?" she asked in a shaky voice.

"I know you, darling," I said mockingly. "I knew you would try something like this, though I underestimated how far you'd sink."

"You can't do this, Jacob." She looked like a woman who knew she was about to lose everything. Good.

"You showed me what a woman scorned looks like. Now you know what a man will do. And now…get the fuck out of my house before I call the police and have them escort you out."

"You bastard," she yelled before turning away from me. She went to the front door, but swiveled around to face me one more time. "This isn't over. Not by a long shot."

I chuckled cruelly. "Yeah, Leah…it is."

She went out the door, slamming it behind her. I didn't even wait for it to close before I was heading to Ness's room. She came out in the hall before I got there, carrying two large bags. My heart dropped.

"What are you doing?" I whispered, looking at her red, puffy eyes.

I saw her swallow before she said in a choked voice, "I'm leaving."

"Ness, wait." I tried to reach for her, but she jerked back. I stilled, my stomach twisting. I begged quietly, "Please let me explain."

She shook her head. "Just tell me one thing. Did you sleep with my mother?"

I closed my eyes, my body lancing over in pain. Finally, I forced myself to look at her.

"It was a long time ago."

Ness's face crumbled and she let out a sob. Turning away from me, she asked, "Were…were you imagining it was her while you were having sex with me?"

"What?" I questioned, horrified. "Of course not. Ness, I love you—"

I reached for her, but she took another step away from me.

"Don't," she snapped. She wouldn't look at me. "All this time…all these years, I always felt like you were hurting over something, even before Leah. I just never once thought that the reason you were hurting was because you were in love with my mother. God, I'm so stupid. The signs were there and I never paid attention…I never connected the dots. The way you used to freeze when she'd come close to you. The way you'd sometimes stare at her. Your feelings were so obvious, and I never wanted to acknowledge them. And then when you couldn't get the woman you really wanted, you settled for her daughter."

"That's not true. Renesmee, please," I pleaded. "Let's sit down and talk about this."

She looked at me then and I felt my world shatter around me. She was staring at me as though I were a complete stranger…one she didn't want to know or be around.

"There's nothing to say," she replied. "Don't come near me again."

She walked around me and left the house, the front door closing softly behind her. I rolled myself into the living room and looked around, feeling empty. This past week, I had been filled with life and laughter.

Now I had nothing. Everything I had Renesmee took with her.
