Happy Thanksgiving! It didn't turn out exactly as I had liked, but hey. It's an unfinished story. It is what I make of it. Enjoy!

"Now Alice, you be good alright?"

"Yes Bella. I'll be good, I'll be extra extra good so that you'll buy me lots of presents!"

"Now Alice that's not why we're going out of town."

"Mhmmmmmmmm"

"Oh there is no hope for you." Bella said, exasperated.

Jacob bent down. "We won't be gone long. We're just going up to Port Angeles, possibly Seattle, but we'll call if we decide to go that far. Embry is here now, and Sam and Emily will be over later to pick you up for your sleepover. Just torture Embry until they get here, kay?"

"Jacob!" *smack*

He just laughed. "Bells, they'll be fine, were only gonna be gone a few hours, not a week, and she'll be with Emiy. You know she'll be fine, she has Sam and Embry right there. Now come on, I would love to leave before nightfall." He teased.

Bella bent down to hug Alice. "Be good."

She then reached up to hug Embry. "Call if you need anything, okay?"

Embry laughed and returned her hug. "I will Bella. Jake's right, we'll be fine. Have fun and don't worry alright?"

Bella smiled at him. "Oh, don't worry, we will."

"Jake, you have to be more descriptive than 'its pink'!"

"Bells, it's a dress! It's in the size you wanted and it's pink! What else is there to say?"

Bella groaned. Trying to get Jacob to help her shop for Alice was difficult. All dresses to him looked the same, everything was just 'pink' or 'blue' there were no shades or differences.

"Okay, Jake, pay very close attention. Does the dress have any other colors on it besides pink?"

He grunted. "Uhh, purple."

Bella sighed. "Okay, next dress. I'm thinking blue and grey. Find blue and grey."

Jacob took her hand and led hem toward some clothes that were grey and blue. He saw a dress that he thought Bella would approve of and led her toward it.

He found Alice's size and handed her the dress, answering her questions about the garment.

Bella smiled. "This dress sounds perfect Jake!" Finally, she added silently.

Jake smiled, happy to have pleased his Mate.

They paid and left the store, walking along the board walk arm in arm. They dropped off their purchases at the car and walked down to a small café to get coffee to warm up. Jacob may be a werewolf and ridiculously hot, but it was still December in Washington and it was cold. At least for Bella.

There were not many people in the café so they quickly found a booth and Jake slid in after Bella, helping her take off her coat and scarf and then tucking her under his arm to keep her warm. The waitress who took their orders was much too friendly sounding, Bella thought, but didn't say anything to Jake.

They discussed their purchases while they sipped their drinks and Jake ate a pastry-or four- from the bakery.

Each of the pack got presents from Bella, which Jake was forbidden to even consider thinking about while phased. She had picked out something special for each of them.

And then there were the parents. Jake already had something for Billy, although he wouldn't tell Bella what it was. Bella was making Esme a new throw blanket to go over the couch in the main house. Carlisle was harder to buy for. This year however, after enlisting Jacob's help in a thrift store, she had found an old medical journal from the 1850's that she thought he would love. Jacob didn't like what she paid for it and insisted that the seller was taking advantage of her for it but Bella told him that the book was well worth it and to not worry. She was sure though that Jake was still glaring at the guy over his shoulder as they left the store.

She got Emmet a few new games for his gaming systems that he was obcessed with. Jacob was a big help picking out Jasper's present, as Jasper was a boy and nothing was pink. Jasper was getting Avengers action figures that Jacob had picked out himself.

Eric and Angela were getting a knitted and framed piece of art that Bella hoped would match their decor. Bella had never been in their home but Esme had described it to her and even picked out the material for Bella herself.

For Edward Bella got the cologne that she have him every year, along with a new stethoscope. Jacob was not at all happy with how much she spent on Edward but because she insisted they were 'family' he tried not to be difficult.

Rosalie was the easiest to buy for. A pair of ice blue pumps that Alice had found online and Bella agreed to immediately. Shoes were an easy yes.

Jacob was the hardest to buy for. By far. Bella had no idea what to get him after he had given her so much. Nothing seemed like it would be sufficient.

But Bella was determined she would find the perfect gift.

The waitress came to collect the empty mugs and plate's from Jake's pastry's. Jake paid and she left to make change.

"Are you happy with what you got for Alice?"

Bella nodded, smiling up at him. "I am. I know she's going to love everything she gets. Especially the dress that you picked out."

Jake groaned. "Oh gosh the guys are gonna get a kick out of that."

Bella giggled, thinking of what the guys would think. The waitress returned and handed Jake his change.

"Oh, and uhm, my numbers written on the receipt…in case your ever free."

Bella stopped cold. But Jake didn't even flinch.

He just stood up out of the bench and held his hand out for Bella's, grabbing her coat and scarf to help her into them.

"I think I'm gonna be pretty busy for the next, oh, 70 years or so. But thanks anyway." He dismissed her. Not rudely, just matter of fact.

Jake grabbed Bella's hand and loped an arm around her shoulders, the other grabbing her hand as they walked out of the café and to the car.

Jacob joked with Bella that he didn't think they would fit in the car, what with all the shopping they had done, and Bella merely grunted in acknowledgement.

Jacob sensed Bella's frustration but waited until they were both settled into the car and on the road for home before he broached the subject.

"Bells, tell me what's on your mind."

"Nothing." She replied curtly.

"Bella, I know you're thinking about the waitress in the café. It was harmless Bells, you have nothing to worry about, she doesn't compare to you."

Bella turned her head toward the window. "So glad to know I came out on top of your comparison." She said bitterly.

Jacob hadn't expected that.

He took her hand in his own that was not on the wheel and spoke in a deep voice.

"Bella Marie Swan, you know that you are the only girl I see. There is you. And that's it. I see any other girl the way I see moldy bread. They are nothing, nothing anywhere near you. You're the only girl for me. You always will be. I love you. And only you. Forever."

Bella cracked a smile as a tear slipped down her cheek. "Moldy bread?"

Jacob laughed softly. "Rotten, disgusting, year old molded bread."

Bella threw her head back against the seat and laughed along with Jacob. As she sobered up she turned her head to face him, willing herself to see. But to no avail.

"I'm sorry I got so emotional Jake. I don't know what came over me. I just hate that I'll never be like those other girls, that I'll never give you what they can. I hate knowing that other girls get to see you when I can't, no matter how hard I try." She sighed in her frustration.

Jake used their joined hands to wipe a tear from her cheek.

"Bella no one can give me what you give me. You're the only one who makes my heart beat fast, the only one I can look at, the only one who can take care of my pack like they're her own, the only one who can bring together my family, the only one who will ever be solely mine."

He took a moment to turn off the highway and onto the well-worn road that led through Forks.

He took her hand that was in his and released her fingers only to grip her wrist, pressing her palm to his face.

"Look at me Bella. See me. You're the only one who will ever see me for who I am. With or without your eyes, you see me."

Bella was unbelievably touched by his gestures. She used fingertips to trace his cheek that was closest to her. She did this for a few moments and then reached down and found his thigh, his hand encompassing hers immediately.

"Thank you Jake. I needed that."

Jacob squeezed her hand and brought the back of it to his lips for a kiss.

"Anytime Bells. I mean it. Anytime, anywhere. I'm always here."

Bella smiled. "I know you are."

They drove the rest of the way with the radio on softly, Jacob humming along to some song.

Bella knew when they pulled off the main road and onto the long forest enclosed path that led to her house because of the lack of snow crunch.

"The guys." Jacob explained with a shrug. Bella smiled. She did so love those boys.

They came to a stop in the pebble rock outside her house and Bella went to unlock the door and turn on the lights for Jacob while he tried to get all the bags inside in one trip. He ended up making three.

"Bella these are going to take weeks to wrap!"

She laughed as she hung her coat up on the hook by the door.

"Don't worry Jake, I won't make you wrap."

He sighed dramatically. "Ah Bells, you take away all my fears."

Bella laughed at him as she took his coat and hung it up along side hers. She hesitated.

"Do you think we should call Emily and check on Alice?"

Jacob wrapped his arms around her waist and walked her forward. "If they needed us they would have called."

"But Alice cant fall asleep without holding my hand-"

"Embry is there. He'll make sure she goes to sleep. Don't worry Bells."

Bella sighed in defeat. "You're right. I know your right, I just hate having her not in the house."

"If it bothers you this much Bella we can go get her. I'm sure-"

"No, no. She's fine. I know she is. I'm just being silly."

"You're never silly Bella. Anything I can do to make you feel better I'll do."

Bella took a deep breath. This was the chance she had been waiting for.

She knew by the change in floor that they were in her bedroom. She turned in his arms and placed both her hands on his cheeks.

"Anything?"

Jacob smiled. "Of course Bella."

Bella took a deep breath. "I love you Jake."

He frowned, becoming confused. "I love you too Bells."

She pushed herself up on her toes to reach his lips and Jacob complied immediately, pulling her against him and leaning down so she didn't have to stretch so far. Jacob went along with it when Bella deepened the kiss and even went as far as to pick her up around the waist, her legs wrapping around his hips as he sat down on the bed with her in his lap, his hands taking the elastic band out of her hair so he could run his fingers through it. Bella moaned and leaned back from his kiss. Jacob's lips didn't leave her skin, trailing down the side of her face to her neck. Bella reached shaky fingers to the front of her shirt and began to undo buttons.

Jacob jerked back from her.

"Bella, what are you doing?"

"I'm becoming yours Jake."

Jacob stopped, pushing her away.

"Bella, your already mine."

Bella tried to glare at him, frustrated. "Not fully. Not yet. I don't want there to be any doubt anymore Jake. I want to be yours. I want to be the Mate of the wolf, of the alpha. I'm ready. Actually Jake," she put her mouth close to his ear to whisper the last part, "I'm beyond ready."

She found herself with her back against the mattress in seconds and Jacob's warm weight was weighing down on her, making her gasp.

"You don't know what you're getting yourself into Bella. Once I get started I wont be able to stop. I'll bite you Bella." He lowered his mouth to her neck and licked the skin there, her back arching.

"I'll put my teeth in your neck at the same time that I spill my seed inside you. Are you ready for that Bella? Are you ready for the wolf?"

She moaned at the same time he inhaled deeply, growling when he caught scent of her arousal.

"You have to be sure Bella. Once I start I wont stop."

"I'm sure" she managed to gasp out.

Jacob growled quietly and rolled them over, pulling her on top of him and reclaiming her lips.

Bella's hands went to her shirt to finish unbuttoning it but his stopped hers.

"Let me do that" he said softly, a complete turn around to the animal that he had been a moment ago.

His big warm fingers found the buttons she had not yet reached and undid them one by one until he reached the last one. He pushed the sides of her shirt open and wrapped his hands around the bare flesh of her waist and Bella shuddered.

Bella's lips left his to trail down his neck only to be stopped by the neckline of his tee shirt. She didn't like that, ran her fingers down his chest to where his pants and shirt met.

Jacob got the wrong idea about where her hands were going and grabbed her wrists,

"Wow, Bella, lets slow this down a little."

She giggled. "I was going to help you take your shirt off Jake."

"Oh." He mumbled.

Jacob then did the job for her and flung his shirt over his head.

"At least that time I was. Next time, there'll be no confusion." She purred and Jacob laughed deep in his chest.

They took turns after that, Bella removing Jake's shoes and he hers. Then socks. Then They rolled around on the bed for a while, taking turns being the dominant one. Jake kept kissing down to the line of her bra and then stopping and Bella was getting a little tired of it.

She arched her back up off the bed and took his hands in hers, moving them to her breasts.

"It's okay Jake."

He grumbled his approval and slowly massaged his hands over her lace covered breasts, around to her back where he spent a moment fumbling with the clasps before Bella gently moved her hands to cover his.

"No," he said. "I can do this."

Bella smiled and let him fumble for a moment more before he sighed and dropped his hands down to the bed.

Bella kissed the corner of his mouth as she reached behind her and undid it in seconds.

"Practice makes perfect."

Jacob smiled mischievously into her unseeing eyes before he became a bit more subdued as he was reminded that she could see nothing. She could however, feel.

Jacob moved his hands to her shoulders and slowly down, his lips following. Bella shuddered as he paid close attention to her collar bone with his lips and tongue as his hands slowly moved down until they came to her breasts. Jacob ran his hands down the sides of her perfect mounds and then cupped them in his hands, awed at her beauty.

Bella thought she was going to implode. Jacob's warm hands on her skin felt so good. Jacob wanted to take this slowly. And Bella wanted to do whatever would make him happy. But she knew that whatever would make her happy would make him happy. And what would make her happy would be for Jacob to be inside her. And that wasn't happening very quickly.

Bella lifted herself so that her mouth was to his ear and whispered what she wanted. Jacob seemed more than happy to please her.

Jacob let things go faster now.

Or he took them faster himself.

When Jacob would find a spot that Bella loved with his mouth and she wanted him to remain, Jacob would move on to find another spot. Bella groaned and he laughed.

Jacob was tired of holding back. Bella kept whispering things to him and it was breaking his resolve to be gentle. Bella could tell so she didn't stop the raspy speech.

So Jacob did what every man should learn to do. He listened to his mate. And he took her.

Bella helped him with the buttons on his jeans. There was nothing underneath them. Jacob used his teeth to remove Bella's unbelievably sexy panties from her body. And after that things went where nature had told them to go for centuries.

Bella's moans and sighs gave Jacob the signs he needed to know what she liked and didn't, but in all reality nothing he could have done could have been bad in her eyes.

Jacob hated the fact that he had to hurt her in order to claim her. But the wolf was having none of the hesitation that the man was. And Bella was just fine with that.

When he finally entered her, Bella saw white light, but in the heat of the moment it was not the most present thing on her mind. But when they came together, Jacob's teeth in her neck, all she saw was Jacob. For a few brief seconds, whatever God that was out there was giving her a gift.

Now that, she noticed.

Review if you please. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
