As I felt the warmth of the sun, I slowly got up from the ground. My ancestors told me what to do. I need to protect Bella, no matter what happens, I need to protect her. I morphed and started running in the snow, towards Bella's. The fight was sometime today, the first snow had fallen.

"Where you going Jacob," Sam asked in my mind. I flashed my memories of the dream and I heard him growl, "Are you sure you want this Jacob?" I continued my run until I made it to the tree line by her house. I changed back, and slowly walked toward her house. I could smell Edward already outside of the house. I jumped up in the tree and went over to her window and looked in. I saw something that I didn't want to see.

Bella was still asleep, looking like a goddess with the sun hitting her hair. Then I saw Edward, with his arms around her, holding her tight. He looked up at the window and smiled at me. The emotions were building up in me. He whispered in her ear, and she jumped up looking confused and upset. Her eyes hit me, there was happiness in them. She ran to the window, throwing it up so hard that I thought that she would break it.

"Jacob!" Her smile made me smile. She looked so happy to see me, but why when she was all snuggled up to her vampire. I look back at Edward; he was standing at the door. "It's not that way Jacob, and you know that." He walked out the door.

"Are you going to come in Jake, or what?" I looked back over at her; she looked gorgeous first thing in the morning. With her hair all a mess from the night before and the glow of the morning on her face. I climbed in the window and closed it behind me. "What was he doing here Bella," I said in a growl.

Bella looked at me with confusion, "He was here because you weren't. I was having problems sleeping and I knew he was outside so I called him in to help me sleep." I saw the hurt in her eyes; she thought that I didn't trust her. I just didn't trust him. She got tired of me just staring at her and she huffed, turned and walked away from me. I moved to put myself in front of the door so she couldn't leave the room. She didn't see me move so she walked right into me, and I through my arms around her.

"I'm sorry Bella. I'm overacting, it's just I still worry about your feelings for him. I know that he will always be apart of you, but," I sighed and looked down at my feet. I felt her hand touch my face and lift my chin. "I love you Jacob, and yes I love him too but it's different. After he left me, there was a hole in my heart. You came along to save me and filled that hole with all your love and more. I can't look at him that way anymore." I huffed and whispered with it, "We'll see." She looked at me asking me what I said but I just shook my head.

There was a tap on the window, we both looked over and the little pixie was opening the window. "Hello you two," she said in her lighthearted voice. "I just wanted to let you know that we need to meet in the field about an hour before dusk. I have seen them arriving when the moon is full in the sky." I nodded and uttered that I understood and would let the pack know. She gave Bella a big hug and then jumped out the window and ran to the tree line. I saw the glare coming off of Alice's face when the sun hit it. It was like she was an angel, it was breathtaking. I heard Bella laugh and I looked over at her, "She's breathtaking huh, when you saw her sparkle." I smiled and moved to wrap my arms around her. She smiled at kissed my chest.

"Not as breathtaking as you in the morning," I coed at her. "You're so beautiful that I can't think about anything else besides having you near me." I kissed her neck below her ear and felt her melt in my arms. "All I want to do is kiss every part of your skin." She sighed and wiggled out of my arms, "Not right now Jacob. I have a lot on my mind and this is not the time to seduce me." I smirked at her pulled her back against me. Her eyes widened and I kissed her lips vigorously, showing her that I needed her. She chuckled and pushed away from me.

"Jacob, Charlie is still here and I think we need to focus on tonight. Sex shouldn't be on your mind right now." I smirked and whispered, "That's all I think about when I'm around you. I'm sorry, how about you punish me?" She laughed harder now and smacked my chest. She walked out her bedroom door shaking her head and went to the bathroom. I followed her but she locked the door to the bathroom before I could make it there in time. Damn it, I thought.

I went back to her room and saw Edward sitting on the bed. I growled under my breath, "What do you want bloodsucker?" He looked over at me with horror on his face, "You haven't told her about your dream last night?" I walked over to the window and looked out to the tree line. "No! I'm going to let things lay. What happens happens and that's that." I turned to look at Edward and his eyes were speaking the words that he couldn't say. Why, why am I going to allow this to happen? He was scared; he didn't want the future to happen but why.

I turned back to look out the window and admired the glow off the snow due to the sun. It looked like something from a Christmas card. "Jacob, you need to tell her." I shook my head no as I continued to look out the window. I'm not going to tell her this outcome. Let things unfold how they do. "I think you should leave now Edward. I need to talk with Bella, without you around." I waited for a response and when I turned to say it again, he was gone.

Bella came in the room and noticed my facial expression. "What's wrong Jake?" "Nothing, Bella! I'm just thinking about tonight, but let's not think about that right now. Let's go somewhere and spend the day together before tonight. Make sure you dress warm." She looked puzzled but nodded and went to get dressed while I continued to think about the night ahead. Should I tell her what I saw, what the ancestors told me was the outcome. No, I'm not going to tell her. She will not allow it to happen, or so will allow it to happen. Either way I wasn't happy of the outcome. I had already asked Sam to send one of the brothers up on my bike. When she came back in, she had a sweatshirt on with jeans and her heavy coat in hand. I smiled and walked her out of the house hand and hand. She saw the bike and smiled. She put on her coat, as I gave her my helmet. She placed the helmet on as I fired up the bike.

Bella jumped on the back and I took off as soon as her arms wrapped around me. The feel of her close to me was just breathtaking. I tried to focus so hard on the road since it was wet from the snow. Her hands slid down the front of my chest, tracing my abs. I shivered and I heard her giggle. Her hands slid down to my thighs and she took her nails and traced them too. It was getting harder and harder to focus on the road. When I adjusted myself, she pulled her hands away and held on tighter so that her chest was pressed tight against me. I drove us to the cliffs where I had taught her to ride. I turned off the bike and got the kickstand down. I felt her slid off the back as I put the bike in position. When I turned to look at her, she was beaming. "Why are we here, Jake?"

I grabbed her and pulled her against me. She gasped at me and her eyes were telling me that she felt how she affected me on the drive. I leaned in to kiss the spot behind her ear and whispered, "Its a little surprise just for me and you." She shivered when I kissed the spot again. I kissed her forehead and pulled her towards the cliff. She looked at me puzzled, I shrugged, "I made a call before I came to your house this morning." She laughed as she looked at the display at hand. When I asked Sam about the bike, they told me that Emily had a surprise for both Bella and me at the cliff. They didn't say what it was but I loved it. Bella's face lit up and was giggling over everything they had set up.

It was a three person tent but on the inside they had laid out a little red and white checkered print blanket with a heater. I saw the picnic basket and opened it. Emily thought of everything, strawberries, sandwiches, drinks, chips and whip cream. I smiled at the thought of the strawberries and whip cream.

I heard Bella giggle and she was hunched over looking into one of the attached rooms. I looked over her shoulder and saw an inflatable bed. "You think they are trying to tell us something," Bella giggled again. I grabbed her hand and pulled her to the picnic.

Bella sat down close to the heater as I closed the tent to keep the warmth inside. I sat beside her and started to pull the food out of the basket. She laughed when I told her that Paul probably cussed the whole time setting this up. Paul still hadn't accepted Bella, but she had accepted him. She would say, it's his opinion and he has the right to feel the way he does. She leaned into me and sighed.

We could smell the ocean below and hear the waves crash into the rocks. "Jacob, remember," but I stopped her before she could finish. "Bella I don't want to talk about that. That was a dark day in my life. I thought that I would lost you that day." I looked over and I could see the tears starting to build up. "Bella, please don't cry. I didn't mean to upset you." I brushed her hair behind her ear so I could see her face.

She looked up at me with tears in her eyes. I kissed her lips softly and whispered against them, "I'm sorry." She shook her head, "I was going to say remember when you taught me to ride my bike. That's when I started to have feelings for you but I hide them. It wasn't until that day you saved me that I just let my feelings go. I'm glad that I did." She smiled half heartedly and kissed my lips softly. She turned to her sandwich and chips.

We ate in silence, just enjoying each other's presence. When she finished her lunch I grabbed up the bags and placed them back in the basket. "You want strawberries now or later?" I asked in hopes that she would catch the hidden message in that. "I would like you to tell me what your dream was about last night. And why did it upset Edward so much?"

I looked up at her with confusion on my face. "I...I....I don't think you should know." I whispered to her and crawled to the other room with the strawberries in one hand and the whip cream in the other. I heard her follow me. I placed them beside the bed and felt the bed move. I look up and Bella was turned on her side looking at me. She had a piece of hair that cascaded down the front and I realized then that she was wearing a tank top. I could see her breast moving with every breath she took.

"Earth to Jacob," she giggled. I looked back up at her face and saw the redness in her cheeks. Oh my, does she have any idea what she does to me when she is all flushed like that. I crawled up on the bed and lay down in the same position facing her. She reached up with her hand and lightly touched my face. I closed my eyes and purred deep in my chest. "Jacob," she whispered.

I looked back into her eyes, "Please Jacob, tell me." She whispered again. I let my breath escape me and closed my eyes. I rolled over on my back and covered my face with my arm. How do I tell her? How do I say anything to her, but yet how do I not tell her? It's her right to know.

"Okay Bella, I'll tell you. Damn it." I rolled back to my side and looked her square in the eye. "The ancestors have told me the outcome of this fight. Alice has seen something similar but of course with our involvement in this fight has clouded some of this." I took a deep breath and took her hand in mine and started to rub circles on it, not looking at her. "The ancestors have shown me that you will be hurt Bella. No matter how we fight this, they will hurt you. They will hurt you enough to the point that you die. I have been through different scenarios of this. The only one that seems to keep coming back is that Edward changes you into a vampire to save you. After this, I have yet again had different scenarios; that you hate me and want to kill me, you hate Edward and want to kill him, and I'm so discussed by what you are that I leave you which you go back to Edward. Well, I could keep going with the outcomes after that but I just don't know how I would, will feel."

I realized that I was still looking at her hand, so I took the chance of looking up at her. I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes that I was holding back. She had tears streaming down her face but was staring off in the distance. "Bella, please say something." I whispered and brushed the strand of hair back over her shoulder and then I lightly touched her skin. Bella gasped for air, I hadn't realized that she was holding her breath. "Please Bella, say something to me."

Bella looked at me, but her eyes were still distant. "You think that I wouldn't love you after I'm changed, if that even happens. If I even allow you do that. I can't live without you Jacob, and if that means that I have to die to have you near me then so be it. I don't want to be changed into something that you despise and never see you again. I just can't do that Jake, I need you."

I placed both of my hands on her face, "I'm not going to allow them to hurt you Bella. I will die before I let them get to you. Do you understand? I'm not going to leave your side tonight. I'm not going to let them get to you. If they some how do get a hold of you, I swear that I will not leave your side even if we have to make you something I despise." I leaned in and kissed her hard. I wanted her to know that I wasn't lying. I was going to be there no matter what happened.

The need for both of us to be close one last time was just too high. Bella sat up on her knees and took off her tank top. I hadn't realized that she wasn't wearing a bra. I sat up on my knees too and pulled her against my chest. She gasped at the skin to skin contact. I started to kiss her shoulder and work my way up to her mouth. She was panting and trying to undo my jeans.

I made it to her ear and sighed lightly on it. She shrived and grinned at the contact. I nibbled on her ear and whispered, "Lay down Bella." She did as I said and I started to strip down as well as her. I grabbed the strawberries and whip cream. I figured, what the hell, let's have a little fun. When I turned back to Bella she was laying there naked as the day she was born. She was a goddess, beautiful and sweet.

She started to turn red as I continued to stare at her. "You are so beautiful," I whispered to her. I pulled out a strawberry from the container and dipped it into the whip cream. I placed it to her lips and she licked the tip of it looking straight at me. Oh she wants to tease huh, I thought in my head. She took a bite of the strawberry. "Hmmm, sweet," she hummed. I smirked at her and placed the strawberry back into the whip cream. Instead of taking it back to her mouth, I drew a line of whip cream from her ear to her collarbone. I leaned forward and with the tip of my tongue licked the whip cream gone. I felt her shiver again. I could smell the arousal from the both of us. It was intoxicating.

I dipped the strawberry back into the whip cream and continued my trail of strawberry juice with whip cream down her body. She would moan the closer I got to her breast or center. I would never touch any of those areas; this was a competition of will for the both of us. We needed to make this last as long as we could.

After eating a few more strawberries and making us both very sticky with sweat, sweet juice, and our mouths neither of us could wait anymore. "Bella, please I can't take this anymore." She came up and kissed my lips deepening the kiss. I rolled us, so that I was on top. She moved her hips and placed her legs around my waist. The tip of my hard erection was right at her entrance. I could feel the heat and the wetness from her. I growled and kissed her hard as I thrust into her.

Of course neither of us took to long to reach release. I place kisses all of over her face, neck and shoulders as we both came down from our climax. "Bella, I love you with all my heart," I whispered in her ear. "No, matter what happens today, I love you and always will." She kissed my shoulder and whispered, "Same as I Jake. I will love you no matter what. I will say one thing though." I pulled away and looked at her, she wasn't smiling. She was serious, she looked into my eyes, "I will never look at strawberries and whip cream the same again." She smiled and started to laugh. I did the same and kissed her forehead.

I heard a howl coming from the west. I looked out the little window in the tent; the sun was starting to set. "Bella, it's time to go." I looked over at her and she was already starting to get dressed. I smiled at the gorgeous person dressing in front of me.

After Bella was fully dressed, I had her wait by the bike while I torn down the tent to take with us. I placed the tent inside the picnic basket and handed it to Bella to carry on the bike. I fired up the bike and Bella hopped on. We started to head for the open field that Alice saw the fight taking place. We still had time to set everything up including getting Bella comfortable.

Another howl came from the left of us, I realized it was Sam and he was following us. This is going to be a long and exhausting night. Especially if things fall into place like Alice and the Ancestors have said was going to happen. I closed my eyes for a second to breathe in deeply. Everything will be fine, I know they will, I'll make sure of it.

***I know I know, some of you hate me right now. I know a lot of you don't want Bella and Jacob to have friction and the possible out come of Bella becoming a vampire, but it just fits with their relationship. You will have to wait and see what happens next. Hang in there...I promise it will be worth it.***
