When I got home from the hospital the house just felt to quiet even with Stella and my dad playing in the living room. Nothing felt right. Everything felt different without Jake.

"I'm going home sweetie." Called my dad as he left.

"Okay, see you later." I called not even bothering to say bye to him. Stella came threw to Jake's room and mine and hopped up on the bed.

"Mom." She stated trying to get my attention as I was picking up Jake's dirty clothes in the floor.

"Yes sweetie?" I asked looking up at her.

"Where's dad?" She asked with a sad expression.

"Uh… well sweetie I don't know." I confessed. There was no point in lying to her.

"Where's daddy?" She whined kicking her feet.

"Stella stop throwing a fit!" I almost yelled. "I'm really stressed right now."

"My arm hurts." She continued to whine.

"Fine." I huffed going into the bathroom and getting some children's Tylenol. "Here."

"Thanks." She stated taking the medicine.

"Now go play with your dolls or something. I have a lot of laundry to do." I remarked as I pushed her towards her bedroom.

"When is dad coming home?" She whined again. I was getting really tired of hearing that. I bent down where I was eye to eye with her.

"I don't know sweetie." I faked smiled looking into her brown eyes.

"Why don't you know?" She said almost crying.

"Look Stella dad will be home soon. Carlisle and his family are looking for him and they'll find if again. Okay?" I asked standing back up. I wouldn't be able to do that much longer, that's for sure.

"Okay." She mumbled walking down the hall to her bedroom and slamming her bedroom door. It was as if she was a teenager and not a four year old. I didn't know what else to do. I wanted to pull my hair out and scream, but I couldn't. I just sat down on the bed Jake and I sheared. I couldn't believe he was gone again. I was trying to hold back tears but I couldn't. Before I knew it, I was balling and curled up in a ball. Where was he? I needed him! I laid on the bed for maybe an hour before I heard a car pull into the driveway. I wasn't really in the mood for visitors and I sincerely didn't look ready for visitors. I walked threw to the front door to find Tanya standing in the doorway holding a tray of sandwiches.

"I figured you weren't much up to cooking and being pregnant and all you have to eat healthy." She smiled a little as I opened the door wider for her to come into the messy house.

"Sorry about the mess, but things have been a little… hectic." I explained as she walked over to the kitchen and put the tray down.

"Don't worry about it." She chuckled looking down at her feet.

"So, what are you doing here? How did you even know where I lived?" I asked crossing my arms over my mid-section.

"I thought I would be polite and drop off some food for you and Stella before I headed back to Port Angeles. I have work in the morning." She explained.

"Oh. Look, I'm sorry about before with Edward. I don't have feelings for him like that anymore." I stated guiltily.

"I understand. You and Edward have a lot of history together. You were his first love and he was yours. Hey, he even asked you to marry him." She exclaimed smiling a little. Did she really understand?

"So you're okay with me and Edward being friends?" I asked trying not to test her to much. She was a vampire after all.

"I don't really have a say in the matter. At the end of the day Edward will do what he wants, but I do know he wouldn't step out on me." She remarked warning my slightly.

"You don't have to worry about that. I love my husband and would never cheat on him." I exclaimed reassuring her.

"I figured as much." She smirked. "Well, I better get going."

"Yeah. Have a safe drive." I commented as she made her way to the door.

"Thanks." She smiled as I closed the door behind him. How weird! I walked over to the kitchen and opened the tray. I had to give her my props she had good tastes. I grabbed a sandwich and laid down on the couch. About 20 minutes later Stella came through.

"When are we having lunch?" She asked looking down at me with my sandwich.

"Tanya brought a tray of sandwiches." I remarked pointing to the kitchen cabinet.

"Okay." She mumbled going over to the kitchen and grabbing a ham sandwich. What was I going to do? What if Jake was died? For all I knew he was or tied up in freaking Italy being tortured. After lunch, I spent the rest of the day pretty much just being lazy. At about 4:30 I got a call from Carlisle.

"Hi, Bella. This is Carlisle." He greeted over the phone.

"Hey, Carlisle." I greeted back. "How is everything going over there?"

"I thought I would just give you an update. Alice is keeping her eyes open for anything about Jake, but he is a werewolf so she can't really see much. Edward's mind reading you know only goes so far. If the Volturi do have him, they would be back in Italy by now. I've made some calls to some friends over there, but you can't exactly just call up the Volturi and ask them if they have kidnapped as werewolves lately."

"Okay." I sighed. "I was talking to Billy today and he said if Jake isn't found in 48 hours he's calling in the sheriff."

"What?" Asked Carlisle in a slight state of shock.

"That's what he said." I replied picking at my fingernails. "It's not like they would consider vampires taking a werewolf."

"Your right there, but that does complicate things a bit." He sighed over the phone.

"Yep. I guess so." I sighed too.

"Don't give up, Bella. He hasn't been missing that long." Comforted Carlisle. "Hey, why don't you come over for dinner tonight?"

"You don't eat? Or have you forgot that?" I chuckled.

"Well, Esme and I would be happy to cook for you and Stella. I'm sure you're not really up for cooking and stuff."

"Oh, Tanya brought I tray of sandwiches by the house." I commented sitting down at that kitchen table.

"She did what?" He stammered.

"She came by the house." I replied looking out the kitchen window to the cloudy afternoon.

"Really? Edward mentioned maybe going over and helping you out. Something about trying to be friendlier." He explained.

"Yeah I was as shocked as you are. Trust me." I chuckled.

"So you'll be over for dinner?" He asked again. "Esme is so excited that you are having another girl."

"Yeah me too. I wish Jake was here to celebrate though." I pouted.

"You can tell him when we find him." He comforted.

"I'll be over for dinner, Carlisle." I replied and after saying out good-byes, I hung up and went to go get ready. I do really wish Jake was here to celebrate and kiss me congratulations.
