See you all on the bottom!

Chapter 45 "Shattered world"

JPOV (Jacob's POV)

I was in my own little world when I heard a large crash. I heard glass shattering on the floor and Natalie screaming.

She was in trouble and I was stuck in a fucking coma!

I was struggling against the weight that was holding me down, but I couldn't move. That was when I saw someone coming at me…my mom.

My mom had a sad face, as if she felt sorry for what was happening. She had to help me.

"Mom, help me. Natalie's in trouble. My imprint needs me."

"I know Jacob…"

Mom stayed to tell me that my time in coma was to see if Natalie would stick by my side, if her love for me was as true as she claimed it was, regardless of our bond.

Natalie had proved herself worthy of me. Mom had seen all the tears she'd shed, heard every prayer she'd prayed for me to get back to her.

When my mom disappeared from my mind, I felt the bonds holding me back slowly breakaway. When I was freed, I could feel my body once again, and I finally opened my eyes for the first time in months.

I didn't have to think; I just acted on instinct.

I shattered the window while shifting in the air, landing in front of Bella. When she saw me she stepped back, looking at me closely.

Bella had become the very essence of a bloodsucker; her eyes were pure red, and her movements were more of a predator than of the girl I thought I'd loved in the past.

Now everything was different, we were now true mortal enemies. I put aside all the years of friendship and only saw her as a killer.

Bella's eyes darted to the left, and I saw Natalie laying there in a pool of blood on the ground. I couldn't make out a sound, and it scared me. Was I already too late?

Bella sounded so different when she started talking. "Nice of you to wake-up Jacob…I hope you had a nice nap."

She circled around me, trying to distract me. Bella fucked up big time, messing with me. "And just so you know it was Jessica that helped me set the trap for you. She wanted to get back at Natalie for humiliating her at school. As for me…you had to know that I am the one for you Jacob, not Natalie! She can never give you what I can!"

What could she offer me? Bella was now a bloodsucker, a parasite that I had to kill. I wouldn't give up my imprint for anyone, period!

I didn't think. I lunged at Bella, trying to tear her into pieces. She was quick though and she hit me in the jaw, making me fly back and land next to Natalie; that only made me want to kill her even more.

I didn't care about the pain. She had hurt my imprint, and that was a line you don't cross. I wish I had hurt Bella the day Natalie came back, but I didn't because it was against what my dad had taught me.

I heard Natalie moaning, as did Bella, and I took the chance to rip her apart.

Once again I lunged at Bella, but she was putting up a fight with me, trying to take swings at me but missing in the end.

"You wouldn't dare kill me Jacob. We've always been friends, you can't forget that."

I growled at her, since she'd long forgotten about those years of friendship. I started tearing pieces off of her, until I forgot who I was.

Bella started screaming, trying to get away from me when I ripped a chunk off her torso. I jumped on her, pinning her to the ground and destroying her.

I always thought of the day that I might have had to do this to Bella, and how I'd feel. Right now I was only thinking of destroying her. I felt so much rage and hate for Bella. Because of her I'd almost lost Natalie, and now there's a chance of that happening yet again.

I don't know how long I stayed there, ripping her up into pieces, until I felt my brothers come into the yard. We all phased back while Seth started the fire to burn Bella into ashes.

The Cullens were running into the yard, but Carlisle and I went straight to Natalie.

I brushed the hair out of her face, and what I saw wasn't pretty. Her head had a nasty cut, her wound was dirty and blood smeared all over her face, and her cheek was getting swollen and turning colors. Her skin looked drained of life, and it scared me. I tried to wake her up, but nothing was working.

"Carlisle, do something!"

Carlisle carefully picked her up and took her up to my old room with all the medical equipment. He set her down on the bed and started to examine her while Esme was placing sheets to cover-up the destroyed windows.

"Carlisle what's going on?"

Blood was all over the place; on the floor, on the bed sheets. Natalie's pink dress had been destroyed when Bella attacked her, and now it was bloodstained as well, with fabric shredded to pieces.

"Jacob..."

I finally saw what Bella had done to Natalie when Carlisle took the dress off of her. She had bruised her entire body, mainly her belly, leaving black and purple marks all over her. Natalie's back was just as worse; deep gashes and blood as well. Glass was everywhere from when Bella dragged her out of the house, piercing her skin and making her bleed even more.

I was beyond infuriated, shaking like crazy, but I had to stay calm for Natalie. I had killed Bella, she'd never hurt her ever again…I just hope I don't lose Natalie.

"She's lost too much blood. I need to hook-up a transfusion immediately."

I was the first to give blood, since I'm her imprint and our ties are stronger. Edward started getting everything set up while Esme was cleaning the blood off the floor. I gave more than usual, but I didn't care, my body would just produce more.

As soon as Edward hooked-up the transfusion, I slowly saw color come back into Natalie. Her cheeks started to turn rosy and her breathing and heartbeat went back to normal, but she still wasn't waking up.

Carlisle was busy trying to repair the injuries Bella had given Natalie. He was removing all the glass from the wounds, placing stitches everywhere.

"Is she going to be alright Carlisle?"

He had just finished up the last stitch, placing pads of gaze on her forehead to cover the stitches. "Well there's no permanent damage, she'll heal up a little bit slower than usual…but I need to check the babies."

Carlisle did an ultrasound and made sure that my children were safe and sound. My kids had pulled through, showing no trauma at all. I heard their steady heartbeats, and saw just how much they had grown in the month I was asleep.

Carlisle was happy with what he saw. "They're strong just like their parents. Everything is going fine Jacob. I've been monitoring Natalie since she's been here with us; she's been doing just fine. Esme has been making sure that she eats well for the three of them."

I sat down next to Natalie in the chair she'd sat on while waiting for me to wake-up. She looked so fragile while I caressed her cheek, which felt so cold that it scared me to death.

"Why is life doing this to us? Why can't Natalie and I live normal lives?"

Esme came and tried to console me. "Just have faith in her Jacob, just like she had faith that you'd wake-up. If it had been up to her she would've stayed up every night looking after you…she'll come around, when she's ready."

So that was how I spent the rest of the night. The chair was uncomfortable, but I didn't want to leave her alone. Sometime in the night I fell asleep, holding both her hands tight in mine, praying that she'd be alright...

NPOV (Natalie's POV)

I knew I was dreaming because I was floating through the skies. I could touch the stars and make wishes that meant the world to me. I didn't hear noise, or feel anything.

There was no longer any pain, physical or emotional. I tried to remember just what had happened to me, but I came up blank. Nothing made sense to me in this new world. I was just in a peaceful world, one which was calm and beautiful in every sense.

Where was I?

*flashback*

In front of me was Bella, with even redder eyes than before. How was this even possible? Neither Alice nor I had picked up any visions of Bella, since she was no longer with Edward and we all thought we'd never see her again.

I couldn't stop shaking my head, and I was slowly backing away from her. "What-?"

Bella's voice had changed…more feline if you will. "Hello there Natalie..."

She saw my growing belly, and she had hatred in her eyes towards me. I didn't know what to do.

I knew I was done for. I couldn't defend myself from Bella. I was alone in the house; the Cullen's were in the mountains while the pack was in La Push.

"What are you doing here Bella?"

She didn't bother answering me; she just dragged me out of the house. I started screaming, she was pulling me by my hair to the point that I felt blood coming out. She got me out to the backyard and slammed me up against one of the tree trunks.

"So Natalie…how are you feeling lately?"

` I had one hand behind my head, trying to somewhat stop the bleeding, while the other was on my belly. My powers weren't as strong as before, since my twins were taking much of my energy nowadays.

I was in so much pain that I couldn't take it. Why was this happening to me? Why couldn't I be left alone? I wasn't hurting anyone; I was the one now hurting.

"Why are you doing this Bella?"

She just laughed at me. "Why? You took the one thing that was destined for me! Now look at Jacob! He's in a coma because of you! You did this to him!"

I cried because I knew it was true. I had made all of this happened. I didn't deserve anything…or anyone. I'd brought all of this on myself.

Bella toyed with me just like Victoria had the night she'd bitten me. Bella punched me all over, and no matter how hard I tried to protect myself, I couldn't against Bella's wrath.

I was slipping away; I was losing blood, my vision so blurry I couldn't see Bella, my eyes slowly closing.

Bella was going to kill me…

*flashback*

Slowly I felt like I was coming back to myself. I started fluttering my eyes, until I was fully awake, taking in my surroundings.

I was in a lightly lit room, hooked-up to monitors, and blood being given to me. I was in the room Carlisle had set up for Jacob after he got hurt.

I remembered what had happened, and I felt it too. My entire body was sore, and I tried to see the damage that had been done to me. When I saw my hands, I saw someone holding my left one.

Jacob was sitting in the same chair I had sat in before. He was fast asleep, his head resting on the edge of the bed, and never letting go of my hand while his other was on my belly.

I ran my right hand through his hair, having missed him so much. He lifted his head up, and I saw the smile that I'd missed for so long come across his face.

JPOV (Jacob's POV)

I was sleeping but at the same time worried beyond repair. Natalie had been asleep for three days now and hadn't made any movement. Carlisle told me that she'd come around but now I don't know what to think.

I kept thinking back to when we were both together and happy, with no Bella or newborns, when I felt someone running their hand through my hair.

I knew that touch from anywhere.

I opened my eyes and saw the one person I'd been waiting to finally see wake-up. When she saw me her eyes lit up but then dimmed with sadness, and I knew what she was thinking. I could now read her thoughts, and she was blaming herself for what happened.

"Hey…"

All I could do was smile because she'd survived and she was here with me.

"Hey beautiful."

When I heard her voice something came over me that yearned to just touch her. I leaned forward, pressing my hand on her warm cheek. She kissed my hand, but she wanted more. She lifted herself off the pillow, and touched my lips with hers. I couldn't hold back all the need that I had inside of me; I had to touch her, be with her as much as possible. I didn't know how long this would last, and I had to make the best of it.

I pushed her back on the pillow since I didn't want her to strain herself. She pulled me closer, not wanting any space between us. I don't even know how long we stayed like that until I pulled back, and I saw tears in her eyes.

"Jacob…"

I rested my forehead against hers, just enjoying this moment. Natalie was alive and well, and that was all that mattered to me.

"Did did she hurt you?"

Hesitantly I got in the bed with her, and I started running my hand down her arm, trying to calm her down since I could hear her heart racing with fear.

"Shh…it's all over. Bella didn't hurt me; she's never going to hurt you again, I made sure of that."

I started remembering how I'd killed Bella and how I'd taken a hit myself, but that didn't matter anymore.

Natalie rested her hands against my warm chest, and I could see in her sad eyes that she was scared. I saw the hesitation in her eyes while she was looking at me.

"Jacob…I'm sorry."

I took her hand and kissed it, but I knew my smile didn't reach my eyes. I knew what she was thinking, that I was going my own separate way.

"Don't worry about it. I just want you getting better."

"But I hurt you the most…I told you I didn't love you anymore when it was a lie. I made you believe I was dead…That's the most selfish thing I could've ever done to you."

I tried to calm her down but I couldn't. She was shaking from fear; what else could go wrong?

I only told her the truth, at least my truth. "Let's leave the past where it belongs. It's all over now…I just want what's best for you Natalie."

She just nodded, trying to calm herself down. While I was looking at her I was trying to remember everything about her…so that when I do leave her like she asked me, I can do it as less painful as possible.

She gasped, "Give me your hand."

She took my hand and placed it on top of her belly. At first I didn't feel anything, but then I felt a little nudge. One of my children was kicking inside of her, and I smiled. I had never felt the babies kicking up until now for the first time.

Hesitantly, she lifted her hand and ran it across my face as if to memorize every one of my features.

"That happens…every time they hear your voice. It's like they know you're their dad... And you're best for me Jacob. You're all that I want…and I want to be with you forever."

Hearing her say that made me realize that she really did love me and that nothing else mattered. I ran my fingers through her face before I went to kiss those lips that I had missed so much. I felt her moan in my mouth, as well as her wrapping her arms around my neck. I rested one had on the small of her back while the other one was on her belly, and I loved feeling her against me.

When I heard her hiss from pain I pulled back and saw that she'd pulled her arm a bit far for the IV to stretch, so I placed her back on the bed and kissed her once more.

"I love you Natalie."

"After everything...even wanting to kill you?"

I wouldn't have it. "Natalie I spent months thinking you were dead. I'm never going to let anything come between us, I promise. I swear to try every day to make you and the babies happy."

All of a sudden I saw what she was thinking; the two of us together with our kids, surrounded by the Cullens and the rest of the pack.

After looking at each other for a few minutes, I remembered something that belonged to her. I reached into my pockets and pulled out the rings that I'd given her before, needing to place them on her fingers to make it official that we were back together.

"So you'll still wear them?"

When she gave me the yes I placed the rings back on her fingers, kissing each of them before I went back to kissing my beautiful fiancé.

"Jacob I want to get married soon. It doesn't have to be anything big; I just want to make it official."

"I was thinking the same thing."

NPOV (Natalie's POV)

Soon afterward Carlisle came in to check-up on me, and said that all was going in the right direction. I was almost back to normal thanks to the blood Jake had given and the three days I had slept peacefully...but stuck until Carlisle gives me the green light to go home. I was still lightly bruised, I had stitches everywhere, and I needed the rest.

He did another ultrasound on me, and I saw that the babies were nice and healthy, and they were kicking up a storm that I felt to the very core. I'd been strong enough to keep them safe from Bella.

Carlisle said that they're just a bit more advanced in growing, but nothing of concern. I was still on track as far as a nine month pregnancy, which was a surprise to Carlisle since he thought since we're both wolves, they'd be growing faster than expected.

All Jacob and I cared about was that everything was going right on track, and that was enough for us.

I got tons of visitors that day. All the guys brought me flowers and stuffed wolves, all the while making me blush talking about how gorgeous I looked even in a hospital gown.

"Well look who woke-up; about time too Nat. Jake wouldn't stop fussing over your little nap."

Paul brought me a jumbo stuffed wolf, and it was so fluffy that I cuddled up with it. "Well thanks for sounding so worried about me Paul. It's nice to see you too."

"Some fight you put up with Nat."

Just hearing that brought flashbacks, and I started breathing hard. Jacob was pissed.

"You better stop talking shit Paul, or your ass is gonna deal with me personally."

Paul got scared. "Jake I was just playing. You know Natalie's one tough wolf girl; it's the bitches fault she didn't get the memo when Nattie shocked her last time."

I knew Paul didn't mean to make me feel bad. "Jacob calm down, you know he didn't mean it."

Paul was feeling bad now. "Aw Nat you know I care about you like a lil sis."

I was gonna act hurt, but I couldn't. "I'm not that little you know. Look what Jake did; knocked me up with twins. One of these days imma get back at him cause of it."

Paul came up to hug me, as did the rest of the guys. They took Jake aside, practically smashing him with congrats and whatnot since everyone now knows about our upcoming wedding.

My girls also came over to see me; they brought me the one thing on my mind: food!

"Oh sissy…you up for some crazy girls?"

To say I was happy was an understatement; I was fucking ecstatic! I had missed them so much, thinking of what would happen if just one of the guys had not made it through the fight. I can't imagine what they'd be going through if I hadn't come back.

"You better get your fat asses in here pronto or else you're gonna deal with mama wolf!"

For a minute it got quiet, and then all the guys started cracking up because of my lame line. Like I care!

I was too busy eating McDonald's meal; a BigMac with large fries, an M&M McFlurry, and a large coke. Thanks to my girls I had a decent meal that day.

"So what's the verdict? Wedding or no wedding?"

I was finishing eating my fries while I opened the gift Cammi had gotten me; she gave me a cute nightgown, red with black lace.

"Well…" I showed them I had my rings back, and they all went ballistic. From then on we started wedding planning, and it was a long day to say the least.

I was so happy that we'd survived the Volturi, and now me surviving Bella.
