Previously:

She walked over to me and gave me a hug, "I'm sorry Jake. I'm happy for you. It just wasn't supposed to happen this way, Alice said-"

I had to stop her there, "Alice can't see our future Bella."

"Make her understand how much you love her."

"She knows," Edward said, adding more information, "Also, as soon she grabbed your hand both your minds went blank."


Chapter 8 Accepting

(Jacob's POV)

A new power, Ness has a new power? Should I really be surprised? My Ness was one of the most astonishing human beings, or half human beings in this world. Gosh I can't wait to brag about this to the pack. As I thought that, Edward moved the couch back to its original spot while speaking, "I guess she has the power to show us her thoughts and the power to block her mind, when she held your hand all went blank."

"Let's get back to the topic," Bella interrupted still peeved. Bella had her mood swings and I was anticipating one at that very second. I hoped after she had just given me that hug that this was past this but I wasn't that lucky.

"You took me daughter's virginity!" she shouted moving her head back and forth. I was taken back by her counteraction. Also the way she referred to Renesmee as her daughter, she had always said our daughter. Edward and her daughter.

Shaking whatever thought I had out of my head I spoke, "Bella, I know." I persistently pleaded with her, " I wasn't thinking straight but, I hadn't seen her in five weeks, that's nearly an eternity for me. I was thrilled that she was able to get away from the Volturi, that she was alive and not married. Yes, it was a mistake, I'll admit that, but she, she said she loved me, it just happened."

She peered over at me then to Edward with a frown still upon her face. She moved back over to the couch and sat down, giving Edward a deep intense glare.

"How come you're so calm?" Bella started to articulate her thoughts very calmly but then they became accusing toward Edward, "I thought when this day would come you'd be the one disturbed by this, not me."

Edward and I had a history, and not a good one, but those strong infuriated emotions I had towards him no longer existed. I knew that when I wasn't around Ness was safe and I could respect him for that. He had become someone who I could depend on, and dare I say it, he had become a friend.

"I told you, I don't like it anymore than you but what am I to do now? Tell them to quit seeing each other? Tell her to have abortion?" Edward said his piece though he seemed irritated with Bella, something that rarely happened.

"You asked me to have one!" she screeched.

" This isn't like when you got pregnant love. I thought Ness would act like a newborn plus she was killing you. I believed she was just as evil as Jacob thought but when I heard her thoughts, I knew she wasn't evil. I heard that baby's thoughts Bella. I heard our grandchild, it's more innocent then Ness was in the womb, it's more human than Ness. And if she's as strong willed as you she's keeping that baby no matter what anyone tells her."

"Because it's Jacob's," she spoke with blank stare but she knowingly knew Renesmee wanted that child, because it was my child. Ness had been worried about not ever being able to have a child and now she was pregnant. Abortion was never even an option why would they bring it up? Bella proceeded, "But Alice said-"

Edward interrupted her, "Alice isn't always correct with us, how can she be correct with people she could hardly see?"

Bella turned her direction to me, and intently asked, " You are going to tell her about the imprint, right?"

"No, for the millionth time she's calling the shots! Whatever she wants she gets, until the day we're married I won't tell her about the imprint!"

"You should tell her, but if you're not going to Jake?" she made sure our eyes met , "Can you please, stay away from her, for awhile."

"Excuse me?" I turned to Edward; he did nothing just stood in the corner with his arm crossed. Angrily I pulled my brows together and I could feel one raised as they were furrowed, "No."

"YES! She needs time to think. Let her be my little nudger for a little while longer."

"She's not your baby anymore; she's not even a teenager anymore. She's an adult, a full grown woman with a child on the way."

With pleading eyes she begged, "You can't do this one thing for me?"

After all I've done for her; she had the nerve to ask me to do her a favor. I was beyond pissed, why was she being so selfish? Since I can remember she's been selfish. I've forgiven her for most of the s*** she pulled with me. The leading me on, putting my life in danger for her safety. She only wanted me around because the pull of the imprint I understood that but she took my imprint from me she made me suffer, she put me through hell.

Deliberately I shouted, " Damn it Bella! You've been so selfish!"

"How have I been selfish? ! If I was, I'd be tearing your head off for stealing my daughter's innocence but I'm not because it will upset Renesmee. I let you see her grown up didn't I? I let you see her now?"

I was pacing the room furious, I just thought about not phasing, not destroying the home Ness lived in. Edward still stood there in the corner, it was as if he wasn't there and I'm glad he didn't open his freaking mouth. He just rolled his eyes as I thought this. Do you understand? I questioned.

He just nodded, I knew he heard my complaint about Bella and for once he was on my side.

I told her my side, "Just shut it Bella! I already told you I'm sorry! And I can't say I regretted it, not completely. But you took her away from me by moving to Alaska because you were f***in jealous. Remember when Edward left you! Do you remember?" she winced from bringing up that memory. I had intentionally brought that up. I had to get through to her, help her realized how I felt when I wasn't with Ness.

"I felt that way except a thousand times worse. It was like, I wasn't even living I just existed."

Then Edward opened his mouth to defend Bella, just like I didn't want. "Jacob, you're being harsh."

"Shut up Edward! I'm talking," then I turned back to my former best friend, " You did everything in your power for me not to be around her. In case you haven't noticed she's always wanted to be around me and because of your envious issues, you made not only me suffer but her too. S*** haven't you put me through enough? For two years," I held up two fingers, " you left for Alaska and made us both suffer. For two years! I know she cried herself to sleep. Jasper told me she was depressed and I know she was in pain because I was. How could you let her go through that? Let me go through that? Especially after all I've done for you. And now you have the freaking nerve to tell me to stay away from my Nessie!"

She didn't respond to my question, she spoke what she wanted, "Jake, I am happy for you, both of you I am but-"

"But nothing, I don't want your excuses Bella! You've had your happy ending well now it's my turn."

I began to walk out, then Bella's cold hand wrapped around my wrist stopping me.

"Jacob stay here."

I pulled my wrist out of her grasp and turned back to her, "Why should I?"

She grabbed my wrist again and pulled me down to the couch to sit next to her. She inhaled and exhaled, "I know you've been suffering and I apologize for being a part of that, I carry guilt for that. But you don't think I haven't been suffering cuz I have, maybe not as much or in the same way but I suffer"

"How?"

" With my jealousy," her head bowed down as she spoke with great humiliation, "I hate it, I just want time with her without the mention of you. I want it to be just me and my daughter. Maybe this could baby could bring us together, I want to be closer to my daughter, our daughter. I've never had that."

Now, I could comprehend the way Bella felt but she was still her mother I knew how much Ness loved her parents, she just didn't feel the need to constantly be around them. "You're her mother Bella-"

"But she's never really been mine. She's always been yours. How do you think it feels to know your daughter has already found her soul mate? That she's always preferred to be with you, rather than spend an hour with me. Hell Jacob, she just threatened to kill me, over you."

What was I supposed to say? I never saw things that way but it was hard to pick a side, because we both spoke the truth. Renesmee has always been at my side and I could empathize with Bella. But on the other hand Bella had taken her away from me, any chance she got and that was hurtful. But Ness was having my baby, there was no way I was staying away from her, she needed me. Bella needed to get over this.

Bella finished bringing up the cause of this topic, "You took my daughter's virginity Jacob. We wanted her to wait until she was married."

'Listen Bella, I wanted her too also. I'm ashamed of what happened and I know what I did was wrong-"

"I'm not angry. I have to face facts, she's not my little stranger baby anymore she's just the stranger she's always has been."

"She's not a stranger Bella she's your daughter, she loves you and even Edward." I added attempting to make a joke. It worked when she had a sad grin on her face, " I just didn't want to go back on my word, I swore I would never make a move and..."

"I don't doubt your self control Jacob. Not like I used to, but did you? Because I think Renesmee did."

"No, she just told me how much she loved me and things got out of control."

Edward then said, "Neither of us are angry Jacob. Shocked, yes."

Then Bella said, "Surprised, yes."

"So was I, so was she we thought she was infertile."

A loud roar resonated in my ears. It was "Leah," I said, "I'll be back."

The only time Leah would howl out loud was when she needed someone from the pack. I had to go.

"Jacob! Wait." Bella said.

"I have to go something's wrong."

Edward said, "We'll go with you."

I ran out phasing on the fly, Bella and Edward were close behind. We sprinted through the forest, snow flying from beneath my feet. In the distance, through the trees and the frost covered underbrush I could see Seth running at a steady pace.

What's wrong? Seth wondered.

I'm not sure. Something big.

Then Leah finally dialed in on our wolf frequency, Jacob, Jacob! I think the Volturri were here.

(Renesmee's POV)

I left and the guilt consumed me. I went straight to Grandpa Chuck and Nana Sue's as Edward had ordered. Particularly, with the bomb I just dropped on him I wasn't about to push my luck. I thought about telling my grandparent's the good news but I wasn't sure if I should. I was only two months along and I wanted to tell people with Jacob at my side. Leah visited for a pithy time before she headed back out for patrol. She was polite to me, and even gave me a hug before she took off but she seemed worried. It was nice to see Leah happy, for whatever reason. I had a brief conversation with Seth before he left to visit Lily. After an hour visit, I left to grandpa Carlisle's where everyone was decorating. Most everyone was there even Seth, Embry and Quil who brought thirteen year old Claire.

Lily greeted me when I showed up asking, "Where'd the baby go?" She pouted a bit and I wasn't exactly sure why she was so interested in the baby or how she even knew. I had asked her to keep it a secret. She listened to me and agreed asking if I was sad. Not sure why I would be sad but being puzzled by her behavior I turned tried to redirect her focus on the ornaments that were to be hung on the tree. But she kept asking strange questions like; what happened to the baby in my tummy? Why was Auntie Alice leaving? She said she was sad to see the baby go and it would have been happy here.

All I did was try to make her focus on decorating when that failed I passed her of to Seth. Then I put all my attention on decorating the house. It was going to be Christmas in a few weeks.

It was nice to spend time with some of my family. Though, there was no sign of Momma or Daddy and Jacob never showed up either. Since none of them showed I figured they were still arguing back at the cottage. To be on the safe side, I went up to my parents old room and curled up onto the queen sized bed attempting to sleep.

It was difficult, as usual. A million things were on my mind, how I wished there was a switch I could just turn off so I could sleep. The sky was purple from the setting sun and eventually turned into night. The moon light leaked through, the glass wall of my father's old room, too much light for me to find a near slumber state. There were pines and Sitka spruces out that window, covered in a fresh blanket of snow. They stood still, some covered in frozen moss and icicles. Gazing at the coldness, I could feel my body turn cold. I needed Jacob right now.

Lying on my side, I found my way underneath the covers where it was somewhat warmer. A sharp pain hit my side, much like cramps I hadn't have one of those in years. I was alarmed by it, and I gasped from the twinge but cramps were normal during a pregnancy. The last I checked the time was seven. I could still hear people down stairs chatting and laughing. I shouldn't have been rude by going to bed early but I felt tired. I was so tired I couldn't sleep, to many thoughts. Now, I gawked at nature's beauty. The outdoors always reminded me of Jacob.

Sudden rage hit my heart, like a speeding car that hit a wall with no brakes. At this second, Jacob was being yelled at. Why the hell was I here letting my parents chew out Jacob, for something that was my fault? I practically forced him to have sex. What if momma attacked him like she tried to when I was younger? I sat up instantly running over to the cottage as quick as I could, I ran down the stairs and past everyone who rested in the living room. I didn't even think twice before I ran barefoot through the snow.

I charged in the cottage, my feet stinging from the freezing snow. The couch was back in its proper spot and the mess Jacob had made was already cleaned up. Before I even addressed anyone I screamed, "What is so wrong with Jacob and me being happy?"

Momma and Daddy were sitting on the couch side by side. Edward's arm was so comfortingly resting across her back. Inside my mind I just laughed, why was dad feeling sorry for Bella when I was the one enduring pain, when I was the one pregnant with a wolf's child and he was going to most defiantly leave me!

"I never said you couldn't be."

"You sure as hell don't want us to be happy! I can tell! You want to have a freaking pity party for you. You take your aggression out on Jake for getting me pregnant, well FYI Bella, I had sex with Jacob. I wanted it! He didn't force me. He respected me, he tried to talk me out of it, he asked me to wait but I couldn't, I just," "I needed him to know how much I love him and that seemed to be the only way. And we didn't use protection because I thought I was infertile, the Volturi gave me fertility drugs and I guess that's how I ended up pregnant."

"He never said any of that."

"We've already talked about everything. I love you." Momma said hugging me.

"I love you too Momma but why is it such a big deal that I'm having his baby?"

"It's not, it really isn't a problem. I'm glad for you two but Alice said-"

I had to cut her off why the hell was she so dependent on Alice's visions, "Alice can't see our future!"

"Yes, sort of. But there's things about your relationship with Jacob that, you don't understand yet."

"Momma I love him."

"I know."

I sat on the couch and wondered, "Where is he anyway?"

When I asked neither of my parents answered. I took a noticed both of their expressions, "What's wrong?"

" Alice is missing," daddy informed.

"What do you mean Alice is missing?" I asked.

"She was killed, I think?"

" Here's her necklace, we found it in a pile of ash." Momma said holding the necklace in her thin pale hands. Bella buried both her hands in her face, saddened.

Could she really be dead? Or was this Alice up to her tricks again?

"Alice isn't dead." I said almost sure of myself. Then daddy told momma, "Ness is right, this is Alice we're talking about she can't be dead."

"Where's Jacob?" I repeated asking again.

"The Volturi were here," Momma said.

"They were? Where's Jacob?"

I was scared, Aro wanted Jacob, and he wanted their kind. He attempted to take govern over the Russian werewolves what if he's come here and has tried to take control of the pack?

To my relief daddy told me, "Leah was on patrol she needed help, Jacob joined her."

I breathed a sigh of relief when I found out he was just patrolling, daddy preceded"They chased them back toward the Hoh rainforest. I and you're your mother joined them. Alice's scent ended at the cliffs edge where we found her ashes, Jasper's scent headed toward Canada."

"So, you think they killed her?" I questioned still doubtful that Jasper would let anyone get near Alice.

Momma sat in silence, I almost felt bad for verbally attacking her.

"They couldn't her gift is too valuable to them."

"Jasper's gone too? I wondered.

Then I had another fear, "Do you think they found out about the baby?"

"They would have come to us."

"Yesterday Lily asked me why Alice was leaving. She can't be dead, she's not Lily must have overheard, just like she overheard us talking about the baby." I sat up and prepared to go out into the cold and fight whoever was out there, I was ready Jasper had taught me everything I needed to know about fighting, "So what do we do?"

"You, are not going out there!" momma finally said something, "Go stay with Emmett and Rosalie, we have to go and see if there's any clues." She pointed me in the direction.

"But"

"GO!" I ran over to the house, wanting to see what Lily knew but she was sound asleep.

CHAPTER 9 preview

"There are some sketchy vamps around; Leah swore it was the Volturi. She's been patrolling for three days. Now that we know it's the Volturi I'll be patrolling more often. And Leah needs a decent night sleep."

"So do you," I told him.

"I'll be fine; we just need to keep the Volturi away from you in case they're after you."

"It couldn't be the Volturi they're worrying about Joham in South America and the werewolves in Russia."

"Werewolves in Russia?" he questioned with furrowed brows.

I shouldn't have brought it up, I wasn't ready to talk about my time in Russia, so I changed the subject," It worries me when you go on patrol."

"I wouldn't dream of worrying you," he said cupping my face and planting a firm yet soft kiss on my forehead," But I want you safe. Now what about these were wolves from Russia?"

"Jake, I don't want to talk about it, I just-"

"Renesmee, I've given you enough time I want to know what happened to you in Russia!"

Can anyone guess what Lily's power is, yet? Please you have to know! Next Chapter up ASAP
