I woke up to a loud crash and I immediately hopped up, scared to death, when I saw Jacob leaning against the wall.
"Jesus Christ Jacob, what's with all the noise? I… Oh my god, are you okay?" I flew over to him as soon as I saw the blood dripping down his face.
"I'm fine Bells, just a little banged up." Jacob said, his words a little slurred.
I ran to the bathroom and filled a bowl up with warm water, grabbed a rag, and ran back to my room. I lightly pushed Jacob down so he was sitting on my bed.
I dipped the rag in water and started cleaning off his face, "Jake, what happened?"
Jacob grabbed my non-busy hand, holding it to his heart, letting me know he was alive and okay. "There's something I need to tell you."
He was shaking lightly, so I continued to wipe his face and caressing his hair, "Hey, its okay. I'm here, just tell me."
"Edward," Jacob growled his name, "Has been coming once a week to visit you and make sure that you're okay and that I haven't hurt you." His free hand became a fist as he started shaking more. "Like I would ever hurt you. Anyways, I told him last week that you were moving to La Push soon, and that he needed to go away and never come back, or I'd kill him. A stray vampire must have smelled his scent so close to your house, and got… Really close. He… was heading towards your window when I managed to catch him."
Jacob was shaking even more; I could see that the idea of me being in danger scared him. I put the rag back in the bowl, and kissed his lips and sat down on his lap, putting his hand over my heart. I whispered against his lips, "It's okay Jacob. I'm here and I'm safe, you protected me. Everything is okay. Breathe honey."
Taking a deep breath, Jacob spoke again, "I wasn't close enough. I was in La Push when Seth smelled it just right over the boundary line. I freaked and came straight here. I'm so sorry Bells. I'm so sorry."
Jacob continued to shake, and pushed me carefully off of him onto the bed, and then he climbed out the window. I knew he was feeling upset and angry, and needed to just run off some steam.
I quietly ran down the stairs and walked out the door. I looked around the yard and saw something running circles around my house in the woods. I walked towards the forest and lightly whistled, like I was calling a dog.
"Jaaaakkee. Come here boy." I lightly teased him. He appeared in front of me, his wolf on all fours, slouched down.
I reached forward to pet him, and he put his large head in my hand, whimpering. Jacob-wolf layed down and continued whimpering.
Looking into his dark ebony eyes, I spoke gently, "Jacob, stop. It's okay. You need to relax honey. Please, for me, and for the baby. I know you were scared, and I know you just want to protect me and the baby, but you have to stay calm."
Jacob wolf nodded and took a few steps away from me and phased. He smiled weakly at me, "You're right Bells, I'm sorry. I just worry about you. It'll get better when you're on the rez, where I can protect you better."
I smiled at him and stood up, tugging at his hand, "Come on, let's go in and get some sleep, you look exhausted. The baby misses its daddy almost as much as I missed him." Jacob smiled brightly at me and tugged his sweats on and followed me into the house.
We climbed into bed and I curled up in his arms. Jacob caressed my stomach, "I love you, little baby, daddy loves you already. So much. I can't wait to hold you in my arms."
Tears welled up in my eyes and I pulled Jacob's mouth to mine, kissing him with all the love I have for him.
"I don't know how, but I think I love you even more, Jacob Black. This baby loves you too, I know it. He or she is going to have the best father in the whole world." I smiled, tears falling down my face.
"Thanks Bells. I love you too." Jacob kissed me softly and smiled at me, "While I was patrolling earlier, I was thinking about names, and I was thinking either Anthony or Isaac for a boy. And for girls, Kailyn or Alexandra."
I shook my head and beamed up at Jacob, "Those sound perfect. I can't believe we're gonna have a baby. It's so scary, but so exciting at the same time. Anthony Jacob Black, Isaac Anthony Black. Wow." I giggled and Jacob pulled me to him, kissing my forehead. "Or Kailyn Marie or Alexandra Kailyn."
Jacob just continued to smile at me and caress my stomach. I groaned, "Ugh, I'm gonna get so fat."
Jacob busted up laughing, "We have so much to think about, and you're thinking about how much weight you're gonna gain. Silly girl."
I rolled my eyes at him, "So we can go pick up the keys later and we can get started on the house. I already wrote down some ideas for the baby's room."
Snapping his fingers, Jacob spoke, "That's what I wanted to tell you. Here, I made you a present. I know I don't really have the money to get you an engagement ring yet, so I hoped that this would do."
He pulled a woven multi-colored bag out of his pocket, putting it in my hand.
"Aww this is pretty Jake. Thanks." I smiled at him.
Jacob rolled his eyes, "The present is in the bag Bella."
"Oh. Right," I giggled and opened the ties and dumped its contents into my hand. I looked down at the pile of metal in my hand and I picked it up, the metal links clanking against each other. It was beautiful. It was a charm bracelet with a carved wooden wolf as its only charm.
Jacob shifted nervously, "I know its not much, but I made it myself. Not the bracelet, just the charm."
I looked up at him, tears spilling down my cheeks, "Jacob, its perfect. It's beautiful and incredible. You made this – how?"
Jacob smiled triumphantly at me and helped me put it on my left wrist, "It's something Billy taught me, he's better at it than I am."
I lifted the bracelet, lightly examining the wooden wolf; the wolf was carved out of wood that matched his fur and skin. It was so intricate. "That's hard to believe. Thank you Jacob. It's the most amazing present I've ever gotten. I love you!"
Jacob lifted my chin and met my lips with his, kissing me softly but passionately. "I love you too Bells. I'm glad you like it. Maybe I can make something for the baby's room." He smiled at me, truly happy.
"Yes! That sounds perfect Jake. But for now, I can see that you're about to fall asleep on me. Goodnight my wolf." I smiled and curled into his chest.
Stoking my hair, Jacob kissed my forehead, "Goodnight my love."
