"Bells?" Charlie said, yelling up the stairs, "You here?"

I started hyperventilating and shaking as I heard my dad's voice. Oh no, I thought I was going to have more time to prepare.

Jacob grabbed my arms and looked into my eyes, "Hey, its okay Bella."

I started shaking my head, my mouth agape, "Jake, I can't do this… I…" I was petrified, how do I tell my dad that his unmarried, barely out of high school, daughter was pregnant with his best friend's son's baby.

"Bells, it'll be okay, you can do this. Good lord, you can hang out with werewolves all day, but you can't talk to your own father." Jacob laughed, making light of the situation.

The only thing I could do was glare at him. Jacob took my hand and pulled me towards the door, I tried to drop his hand and pull away, but he was too strong. Rolling his eyes, he picked me up bridal style, more carefully than usual, and carried me down the stairs.

I continued to squirm in his arms, "Jake… let me go!" I glared at him as he sat me down on the couch next to my dad. Billy chuckled from his chair a few feet away.

"Well hey Bells." My dad reached over and squeezed my shoulders. I gave him a nervous smile and hugged him back.

Charlie looked strangely at me, "Everything okay Bella? You looked like you've seen a ghost."

I bit my lip and Jacob grabbed my hand from his spot next to me, "Chief Swan, dad, there's something Bella and I want to tell you."

I shot Jacob a panicked look and subtly shook my head. Charlie groaned, "He called me Chief Swan, this is gonna be bad. Please tell me you're not running away to Las Vegas and getting married."

Jacob chuckled, "No, we're not. But we are getting married soon, because Bella is…" He looked at me and I finished his sentence.

"I'm pregnant." I closed my eyes and leaned into Jacob, waiting for the explosion.

Billy started laughing, "Well crap, another mouth to feed." My eyes widened and my mouth dropped, and when I looked back at Jacob, he was the same way.

Charlie however, wasn't as pleased. "You're WHAT!" He yelled, standing up. I saw him grab his gun belt. "Jacob outside, NOW!"

Jacob stood up and backed towards the door, hands up as if in surrender. I'd never seen Jacob that scared before.

I quickly jumped up between my dad and Jacob, "Dad, don't you dare. Put that gun down right now. I know this is really not great timing, but this baby is gonna need its father. I need Jacob, and I love him." I spoke as quickly as I could, but I could see that it wasn't having any effect, so I pulled out my best weapon. "At least I'm not pregnant with Edward's baby."

I heard Jacob growl behind me, and I turned around and shot him a look, then turned back to my father. His face wasn't purple anymore, but it was still red. He dropped his gun belt and collapsed onto the couch, groaning.

I felt Jacob come up behind me and wrap his arms around me, his whole body shaking. I turned and looked up at him and I could see the pain and something else in his eyes that I couldn't place. I placed my hand on his cheek and murmured, "Calm. I love you. Breathe."

Jacob took a deep breath and inhaled my scent, which relaxed him significantly. I felt his shaking slow, but he was still tense.

Billy, who was silent through the last few minutes, broke the silence and said, "I'm gonna get us some beers Charlie." All my dad did was groan in response.

"We're gonna, um, take a walk." I said, and ran out the door, Jacob on my heels.

Once outside, Jacob started pacing across the yard, shaking. I walked over to him and softly called his name, "Jacob." His eyes snapped to mine and I saw that same unfamiliar expression in his eyes again, it was almost animalistic.

Slowly, I took a step towards him, making sure he was okay, I knew he'd never hurt me on purpose, but I wanted to give him some reaction time.

Putting my hand on his cheek, I looked into his eyes. "Hey, you're okay. I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere. I'm right here and I love you. Jacob."

Jacob closed his eyes and took another deep breath. Slowly, he opened his eyes, and I saw that he was back to normal. "Sorry. I kinda lost it there."

I just nodded, taking his hand and kissing his palm. I didn't speak, just let him lead.

Jacob just wrapped me in his arms and kissed the top of my head, continuing to take my scent in and holding me close. When he let go, I looked up and met his eyes.

"Thanks Bells. You always know what to say and do. I love you so much." He reached down and kissed me, rubbing his hands up my back.

I smiled up at him, "I love you too. I was thinking, tomorrow we could go get those keys and check out the house. The sooner the better, right?"

Jacob beamed at me, "Right. That sounds perfect. There's already some really nice furniture there, a soft couch, fully ready kitchen, washer and dryer, a kitchen table and chairs. All we'd need is a bed and we'd be perfect." He winked at me.

I rolled my eyes, "Ohhh no, that's what got us into this craziness. No sex for you."

I laughed as Jacob pouted, giving me the puppy-dog eyes. It's impossible to say no to that face. I giggled, "I'm just kidding, silly wolf."

Jacob smiled and stuck his tongue out and started panting like a dog, and then barked, "Arf!"

I giggled at his crazy antics, "Do you have to patrol tonight?" Jacob made a face and I already knew the answer.

"Yeah," Jacob grumbled, "I'm not gonna be able to focus though. Thinking about all the stuff we have to do. But I'll be there in the morning when I get off, I'll be exhausted, but I'll survive."

I ruffled his hair, "You can come in and sleep. I'll start wedding planning before we go check out the house." I smiled brightly, actually excited about the idea of getting married. I knew that it wasn't the wedding that was exciting to me; it was who I was marrying that made me excited. Being with Jacob the rest of my life was just an amazing thought.

It was then that Jacob and I heard a wolf howl. Jacob rolled his eyes, "Time to patrol." He made a face and pouted at me. I rolled my eyes and kissed him.

"I'll see you in a couple hours, be safe. I love you." I sighed.

Jacob kissed me back, "I love you too," He got down on his knees and raised the bottom of my shirt and kissed my belly, "And I love you too baby."

Tears formed in my eyes as Jacob professed his love for this baby already. I knew he was going to be the most amazing dad to this baby.

Jacob smiled at me and ran backwards into the woods, waving before he disappeared. I waved back and headed back into the house to take a shower and get ready for bed. Content with myself and my life.
