I unfortunately do NOT own Twilight, I'm borrowing the characters, the amazing Stephenie Meyer created.
Chapter 28
Pack Proposal
JPOV
There was a bonfire celebration down at La Push, it was for Sam and Emily, they had just announced she was pregnant, obviously the pack already knew, but everyone else has only just found out.
I watched my Bella as she chatted and laughed with Emily and Rachel, I remember Bella said that Emily was fast becoming her best friend, I couldn't help but smile as I thought how well she fits in with my family.
"Jake, now" Embry nodded.
Embry and the pack had agreed to help me out with what I was about do, Jared grabbed a glass and a spoon, tapping it to get everyone's attention of course he tapped to hard and the glass smashed.
"My bad" Jared put the glass down.
"Jacob would like to say a few words" Embry announced, everyone was quiet now waiting, I looked across to Bella.
"Isabella" I chuckled as I saw her grimace at the use of her full name. "I love you more than life itself, nothing in this world could keep me away from you, except your father and his gun" I pointed to Charlie who laughed and pretended to shoot me with his fingers. "I want to be able to say you are mine with no exceptions. I want to be with you for the rest of our lives. Bella, I want you to take my last name"
There were a few audible gasps around the bonfire, Bella's probably being the loudest.
"Look at the pack" I told Bella.
Bella looked round at the pack who were now holding up massive cars that read out 'MARRY ME BELLA'
"If Charlie and Billy will give us their blessings, Isabella Marie Swan, will you marry me?" I finally asked.
Bella's eyes visibly filled with tears as she looked between the pack and me, I was now holding up a ring, it was my mothers engagement ring the band was gold and had a large diamond on it, I was beginning to think Bella was going to say no.
"Of course I'll marry you" Bella let the tears fall and ran to me crushing her lips to mine, everyone cheered as I picked her up and swung her round setting her down, she pulled away and I slid the ring onto her finger.
"Hold on" Billy spoke "You said if me and Charlie give our blessing"
"Oh yeah" I stopped.
Bella looked at Charlie who smiled "Congratulations kid" Bella ran up to Charlie and hugged him "One thing you have to tell your mom"
"Great" Bella sighed.
"We have your blessing?" I asked putting my arm around Bella.
"Yeah, she could do a lot worse" Charlie joked.
"Thanks Chief" I smiled.
"Well I guess we should get more champagne and make it a double celebration" Sam suggested and everyone cheered.
Bella was grinning hugely, we went over to Emily and Rachel who hugged her.
"You're going to be my little sister!" Rachel cooed.
"It won't be long until we have little Jacobs running around" Emily grinned.
Bella flushed red "Not just yet"
I looked at Bella and then across to Emily's bump, I really wished Bella had one with my creation, my baby in it, can men get broody?
"Don't worry Jake, I'm not pregnant" Bella snapped me from my reverie.
Bella stayed the night in La Push the next morning I woke up and turned over expecting to hug her, but she wasn't laying there, I opened my eyes, she was doing her hair, fully clothed.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"I'm going to see Edward" Bella answered.
"What?" I sat up abruptly.
"I have to make sure he hears about our proposal from me personally"
"Bella no whenever you see him danger is just around the corner he drags you into dangerous situation just so he can spend more time with you"
"Are you two ever going to grow up and just get along?" Bella sighed.
"When are you going to wake up and realize he is still not over you" I shot back.
I got up and walked over to Bella, she held out her hand and placed it firmly on my abs keeping me away from her.
I sighed "Please don't go" I begged.
"You want to deal with him when he finds out about us from someone else" Bella asked.
"What does it matter about him" I asked
"Jacob" Bella closed her eyes and took a deep breath "Don't make me choose, because I won't, I'm not going through this with you again"
I didn't answer and watched helplessly as Bella walked out the house and got in her car. It hurt me so bad to watch her leave me and once again run to him I so badly wanted her to choose who she wanted but right now I was afraid she would choose him.

I had enough of Edward and Jacobs childish games. I was engaged to Jacob and friends with Edward they would both have to just deal with the facts as they weren't going to change any time soon. I pulled up outside The Cullens home, Edward opened the front door as I got out my car, it was just him home.
"Bella, how are you?" he greeted me.
"I'm good, I've come to talk to you" I started.
"Of course, come in" I walked inside and stood in the hallway
"Edward I'm going to cut out the crap, and just get straight to the point, me and Jacob are engaged" I watched carefully as Edwards expression changed from happy to serious to angry to furious in seconds. Edward grabbed my wrist and looked at the ring, his grip was so tight it hurt.
"Edward your hurting me!" I protested.
"I won't let you marry him!" Edward growled.
"You told me to move on with my life and I am" I argued.
"If I thought for a second you would end up with a mongrel, I would never have left"
"You thought he was just a fling?"
"I never expected you to go further with him"
"It's a bit late for that" I mumbled.
Edwards face dropped "You had sex with him!" Edwards grip on my wrist tightened and I was sure I felt something crunch.
"Ow, Edward you're hurting me!"
"Bella, Jacob is unstable, he could lose control over simply stubbing his toe, if you were around him when he phased..." Edward didn't finish his sentence.
"Edward, let go of me" I begged, he dropped my hand and I rubbed my wrist "Please trust me"
"I trust you, it's him I don't trust"
"Trust both of us" I looked up at him "Please"
"I'm sorry I hurt you...you should leave"
I didn't reply, I just nodded and walked away, I got in my car and drove back towards La Push, I was driving with one hand as my right wrist was seriously throbbing, I couldn't flex it, I think it may be broken. It had now started to pour down with rain. As I pulled into La Push I saw Jacob pacing back and forth outside his house wearing no shirt, he didn't seem to be affected by the rain, when I got nearer I saw he was angry. Very angry.
I got out of the car, he was next to me and before I had time to react he had me pinned against the side of my car, his large hands were beside my head and he looked down on me. It only took seconds for me to get soaked by the rain.
"Bella! Are you completely insane?" Jacob snapped harshly.
"I..." I choked.
"You did the complete opposite of what I said, I told you not to do it for a reason!" Jacob growled.
"I had to tell him personally" I replied.
"Why, what makes him so special, do you still love him?" Jacob spat.
"No! Of course not" I cried out.
Jacob shook his head and stepped backwards, he looked at my hand and he lifted it up, I winced as my right wrist protested by throbbing even more. "Why are you wearing his ring? On the same hand you're wearing mine!"
"I didn't want to upset him"
"So you still have feelings for him"
"No Jake! You know I love you" My eyes started to fill with tears.
"Bella, you're lying, stop lying! Why did you do it go to my mortal enemy against my will and wear his ring!" Jacobs body was trembling.
"I'm not lying!"
"Have you forgotten I can hear things a lot clearer now, I heard you and Edward at the graduation party, you still love each other, Boom! my heart shattered into a million pieces"
"Why propose to me then? If I broke your heart and you heard me tell Edward I love him, why ask me to spend the rest of my life with you?"
"I wanted to spend my live with you, but clearly one lifetime isn't enough and you're still clinging onto hope thy you will become one of them just like that psychic bloodsucking parasite said"
I got pushed over the edge and swung my hand around slapping Jacob, it was one thing for him to call Edward names but to pick on Alice was one step too far, she had never hurt anyone, Jacob had no reason to hate her, apart from their stupid beliefs. I looked up scared, realizing that Jacob was now fighting control, his breathing was heavy just like that time I slapped Paul.
Mental note; don't slap a werewolf.
There was a loud ripping noise and Jacobs russet brown wolf form stood in front of me, he snarled and I fell backwards in fright, suddenly a grey wolf pounced over my head and tackled Jacob, they fought into the forest, I got in my car and raced home.
"Dad!" I yelled.
"Bella? What's going on, is everything okay?" Charlie asked looking at me.
"I need to go to the hospital" I spoke.
"What's happened?"
"I think I've broken my hand, I'll explain in the car"
Charlie and I got in the car and he drove us off towards the hospital, I made up a story that I fell and landed on my wrist. It turns out that my hand was broken, thanks to Edward. I refused to be seen by Carlisle, I had to have a reality check and spend time with normal people as far away from the supernatural world as possible.
When I was home, I rang Angela and asked to see her, she of course said yes and I met her at a small café in town.
"What's up, you sounded really stressed on the phone and what happened to your hand?" Angela asked.
"I fell and broke it" I lied.
"Bella, the lovable klutz" Angela joked.
"If I tell you something you have to promise that's it and we move on from the subject" I spoke.
"Of course" Angela agreed.
"Jacob and I are engaged" I whispered.
"Oh My God! No W-" Angela squealed.
I cut her off "Moving on"
"Bella! You're getting married!" Angela squealed more.
"Angela" I made a motion with my hand for her to be quiet. "Yeah I was going to ask you to be my bridesmaid"
"Oh Bella! Of course I will"
"Moving on from Jacob"
"OK, what happened to your hand?" Angela asked again.
"That involves Jacob" I murmured.
"Oh, did he hurt you?" Angela sat up.
"No, he wouldn't do that" I shook my head "How are you and Ben?"
"We're good, I want to get married!" Angela moaned.
"Don't forget me and Jacob have known each other our whole lives"
"I suppose, but still..." Angela shrugged.
My phone rang, I looked at the caller ID, it was Embry.
"Hello?" I answered
"Bella, where are you?" Embry asked
"I went to the hospital" I told him.
"Well Jake has gone to beat himself up"
"Why?" I asked
"Bella he phased right in front of you, if I wasn't around you would be in hospital for worse things"
"I'll be there soon"
"OK, bye Bells" Embry hung up.
"Do you have to go?" Angela asked.
"Yeah, I'm sorry" I apologized.
"No, it's fine, I'll see you around"
I stood up and hugged Angela "I'll call you about the wedding, yeah?"
"Yeah, bye" Angela smiled.
JPOV
I phased in front of Bella, I actually want to kill myself right now, if it weren't for Embry, I could have seriously hurt her. I did get into a small fight with Embry, but it was good to let my anger out on someone I wouldn't hurt, Embry did sink his teeth into me, but I was glad he stopped me fighting. I heard Embry's thoughts come into my mind.
"Yo Jake, I found Bella" Embry called
"Is she okay?" I asked
"I don't know, she said she went to the hospital, but didn't say why" Embry shrugged
"The hospital, what have I done?" I grabbed a tree root in my teeth and yanked it up, I had to do something otherwise I would have lunged on Embry and taken it out on him, yet again.
"Jake relax, I think she's okay" Embry tried to calm me but it wasn't working.
If I wasn't a wolf I would seriously need anger management. I didn't want to stick around and hear any more I ran further into the forest, and flopped down on the ground when my legs wouldn't take me any further. I lay there whining thinking about Bella.
