Midnight
Jacob awoke around midnight sweating. That was no shock seeing that he was still wearing his hoodie and pants. It took Jacob a couple of minutes to realize that he was at the Cullen household.
'Why am I here?' Jacob thought to himself trying to search his mind for the answer.
All he could remember was walking back to the house from the woods.
'Oh dear God, don't tell me he carried me!' Jacob thought to himself.
'He's never going to let me live that down,' Jacob thought embarrassed while climbing back into bed after stripping down to just his boxers and t-shirt.
Even if Edward did carry him, Jacob figured that it could wait a few more hours when he was more awake and able to actually think! Thankfully Jacob got a peaceful night of sleep. However that wasn't to be for poor Edward. He was the one pledged with the nightmare of all nightmares.
Edward's dream/nightmare
Edward was currently standing with his arms wrapped around his partner. They were at a park, watching children play.
"Hey did you hear me?" Jacob asked smiling up at Edward.
"Sorry, I spaced out," Edward said smiling at Jacob.
"I was just saying that we're lucky to have her," Jacob said.
Before Edward could respond, a little girl no more the six years old ran by.
"Hi mommy, hi daddy!" she exclaimed running to the sandbox where Alice and Jasper were with a little boy.
"Yes, yes we are," Edward said smiling down at Jacob.
"I still can't believe we waited so long to have her," Jacob said sighing in Edward's arms.
"Jacob, you were only seventeen when she was born," Edward said confused as to why he'd think that was a long time.
"I know they say time has no meaning to a vampire, but surely you'd remember that I was 40 by time we had her!" Jacob exclaimed turning in Edward's arms.
"Oh, it's you," Jacob said getting out of Edward's arms.
"Yeah it's me. Who did you think it was?" Edward asked.
"I know it's you, but not you," Jacob said.
"What?" Edward asked totally confused now.
"Ok, let me start over, Bella said that the you before all this happened would be coming. And I guess here you are," Jacob said sitting down on the bench and placing his hands on his stomach.
"Vampires! What's the last thing you remember?" Jacob asked seeing that Edward was still confused.
"Thanksgiving with the pack, my family and your dad. You told everyone that you were keeping the baby. And how I left and you then left. I then carried you home after you fell asleep while still walking," Edward said smiling at the memory.
"Wow, that's been ages ago," Jacob said.
"So where's the first child we had?" Edward asked not knowing if they'd had a girl or boy.
"She died when I was 19," Jacob said looking very sadden by the thought.
"How?" Edward asked.
"I don't want talk about it," Jacob said.
"Please?" Edward asked.
"I said I don't want to talk about it!" Jacob exclaimed getting up from the bench.
"Ok, I'm sorry we don't have to talk about it. So the little girl that just ran by, she's our second child then?" Edward asked.
"Yes, after Elizabeth, I didn't want any more children. I didn't even want to live anymore. If it hadn't been for you, I think I would have curled up into a ball and died, but you showed me that life wasn't over for me. I couldn't let it slip by because Elizabeth wouldn't want to see that happen. When I found out I was pregnant with Sarah, I was in shocked to say the least," Jacob said smiling at the memory.
"I'm surprised you let our child call you mommy," Edward said.
"I still blame you and Alice for that one," Jacob said.
"And why is that?" Edward asked.
"Because you kept saying mommy around her, so of course her first word is mommy! And that's what she calls me, even in public," Jacob said.
"Does she know that we're her parents?" Edward asked.
"No, not again!" Jacob yelled jumping up from the bench.
"What is it?" Edward asked confused why the coming storm was freaking Jacob out.
"NO! NOT THIS TIME!" Jacob yelled.
"Jacob, what are you talking about?" Edward asked confused and getting worried for Jacob.
"They're here again!" Jacob said.
"Who's here?" Edward asked.
"The ones that took our daughter from us! They're not taking her too! I'll die before I let that happen!" Jacob yelled running towards their daughter who was running towards him followed by Alice and Jasper who was carrying the little boy.
"Take them and leave," Jasper said handing the little boy to Alice.
"NO! I'm not running this time! They're the ones that better start running!" Jacob yelled holding his daughter tightly.
"Please love, take the children and go," Edward said having this fierce protectiveness overcome him.
"But it's too late for that, dear Edward," came a female voice that sent a cold chill down Edward's back.
"Victoria?" Edward asked wondering how she could still be alive, when he remembered burning her vampire ass.
"You stupid little boy, it is I, Jane. I've come to finish what I started," Jane said smiling evilly at Jacob and their daughter.
"Stay the hell away from them!" Edward yelled putting himself in front of his family.
"You know I can't do that Edward. You know we were always meant to be together. I'll do us all a favor and get rid of that disgusting mutt and it's spawn before it can bread again," Jane said.
"I'll die before I'll let you harm Jacob or our children," Edward said meaning business.
"Oh that can be arranged," Jane said smiling evilly in the direction of Edward and his family.
"What did Jacob ever do to you? He never hurt you!" Edward said hoping that Jacob and the rest of his family would be safe.
"Never hurt me? Really, is that so? Because I remember it being because of him that I don't have a child!" Jane exclaimed.
"Aro is the one that turned you! Jacob had nothing to do with that!" Edward said.
"You stupid, stupid little boy. Aro isn't the problem here. Had the mutt stayed in his place and not tried to avenge his stupid little friend's death, then it would be I who carried Elizabeth. Instead of the sick little half breed she was, she would have been a strong, beautiful woman. Not that ugly half breed that was," Jane said disgusted by the mere thought of Elizabeth.
"You're wrong," Edward said.
"Is that so? And how is that?" Jane asked making a game out of it now.
"My daughter wasn't a half breed. She was her own breed. A breed that would have made sure your kind didn't exist anymore. She was a strong young lady who would have rid the world of the likes of you," Edward said pissed that someone thought they could get away with calling his daughter ugly and a half breed.
"Kill them now," Jane said waving her hand because she was getting tired of this game.
Before Edward could even blink, there were at least a dozen vampires surrounding them.
"Mommy!" Sarah yelled reaching out to Jacob as she was ripped from his arms.
"Let them go!" Edward yelled trying to get to his daughter and mate.
The next thing Edward knew, he was out cold. When he came to, he was at the house. He thought that the nightmare was over with, that was until he noticed that Alice was standing over him worriedly.
"What happened?" Edward asked rubbing his head.
"They got them. I'm so sorry Edward," Alice said wishing for not the first time that she could still cry.
"Who got who?" Edward asked hoping what he thought had happened, really hadn't.
"Jane, she got Jacob and Sarah," Alice said.
"We have to find them!" Edward yelled jumping up from the couch.
"Hold on there son, that's just what she wants us to do," Carlisle said putting his hand on Edward's shoulder.
"I don't care! I' m not letting that thing do whatever she wants with Jacob and our daughter!" Edward yelled.
"I know son, I know. But we have to keep our heads about this. We need to make sure that we have all our bases covered before we go after them," Carlisle said.
After forming a plan, Alice, Edward, and Carlisle headed up to catch up with the others. They hadn't wanted to let the trail get cold, so they'd been following, trying to find a way to attack without Jacob or Sarah getting hurt in the process.
It wasn't until months later, when Edward received a basket that contained his son's dead body that he knew it was a lost cost. His daughter and mate were dead. There was no reason to carry on anymore. Alice, however wouldn't see it that way. She knew that Jacob and Sarah were still out there and they needed to find them. She'd had a vision leading them to a spot.
Three years later, and Edward was all on his own. The clan of vampires had killed off his family one by one. It was a year after Rosalie, the only other surviving member of the family had been killed that Edward saw his mate and child again. They had been left for dead in the woods. They'd been mulled by wild animals. Their bodies so dismembered that only dental records could tell who they were.
Before Edward had to see anymore of that awful nightmare, he awoke on the couch.
The first thing Edward did was look over at the bed to make sure that it wasn't real. That Jacob was safely in the room. And that their baby was still safely inside Jacob where he or she belonged for the next three months. Seeing that they were, Edward got up from the couch. He thought about lying down on the bed with Jacob, but he was afraid that he'd disturb his sleep. Edward knew that he wouldn't be able to sleep anymore, but he still wanted to be close to Jacob and their baby. Seeing that there wasn't a desk in his room, Edward went downstairs to the dinning room to grab one of the chairs. Edward was just thankful that he didn't run into any of his family members, otherwise it would have been strange for him to tell them why exactly he was getting a chair in the middle of the night. After Edward got back to his room, he positioned the chair on Jacob's side of the bed and sat down.
"I promise you that I won't let anything ever happen to you, either of you," Edward said rubbing his finger across Jacob's cheek.
Jacob didn't shove Edward's hand away, but he did brush it off his cheek, only because the feather light touch made it itch.
"I love you," Edward said kissing Jacob's head before settling in the chair for the rest of the night.
When Jacob awoke, he was surprised, not shocked though that Edward was sitting in a chair by his bed. He was shocked however that Edward wasn't in the bed with him. When he'd been living with them before, it hadn't been uncommon for Edward to get into bed with Jacob.
'Why do I feel like something's missing?' Jacob thought to himself.
"Do you know what it is, little lady?" Jacob asked looking down at his stomach.
When he didn't receive an answer, he asked the first question that popped into his head.
"Is it that daddy hasn't felt you move yet?" Jacob asked wondering if that's what it was that felt off to him.
"I thought so," Jacob said when he received a push from what he assumed was his daughter's foot.
Before Jacob could change his mind, he grabbed Edward's right hand that was currently resting on the bed, and placed it on his stomach.
"Baby girl meet your daddy, daddy meet our daughter," Jacob said feeling his daughter kicking their joined hands.
With that, Jacob fell back to sleep, having solved what was bothering him.
