---I do not own Twilight, that goes solely to our beloved Stephenie Meyers. No intention on this going anywhere besides here. This is for fun and for my friends that love her series as much as I do. Bethy99---
Hello everyone! This chapter is dedicated to all my fans. You have been great and I'm really looking forward to writing some more on this spin of the story. This chapter is pretty dark but yet, the future looks great for our Jacob and Bella. Of course I have to keep this going so, there is a little twist to the end. I promise you, this will all be worth it in the end. Navygirl, hang in there for me....I promise you, this is a Bella/Jacob story, but Edward is still a big part just as Jacob was in Twilight. It will be worth it....I promise.

Edward's hands were on my shoulder pushing me back down on the bed. "Jacob you need your rest. I growled and glared at him, "No I need Bella." Sam moved around the side of the bed. "Jacob you are not going to be any use to her like this. Please rest, Dr. Cullen is taking care of her."
I leaned back trying to remember what happened. "Edward, what happened? What happened to Bella?" I looked straight into his eyes and I saw the sadness, scared, and worried. "Umm....maybe we should wait until Carlisle gets in here." I growled some more, I could feel the fire building. "Edward what happened?"
He walked over to the door as Dr. Cullen walked in. "Jacob, she's fine." There was a long pause, "When she saw your injuries, she went into shock. She passed out on us, but lucky enough we were there when it happened. I gave her medicated to help her sleep; she has been through a lot the past couple of weeks." I could feel my eyes starting to burn, "Can I see her, please?"
The doctor came closer to me, "Jacob I have to tell you a few more things." My heart went to my throat and I looked over at Edward. Why was Edward so fidgety and why won't he look at me? He looked over at me and sighed, "I'm going downstairs." I watched him leave; there was still sadness in his eyes. I couldn't figure out what was going on. I looked back to the doctor. He was putting something into the tube that was in my arm that made me realized that I was still tied to the bed. The IV bag was hanging by my head on the bed post. I felt a tugging at my tube in my arm and saw the good doctor removing some of the tubing. "Jacob," he whispered very soft. I looked into those golden eyes and saw happiness, worried, and excited. "I need you to listen to me. There are a few more things that I have to tell you. First, did you know that Bella is pregnant?"
I stared in disbelief, I couldn't hear out of my ears. They were ringing. I could see his lips moving but there was no sound, just this damn ringing. Bella is pregnant, what? How did this happen? Well I know how it happened but we have tried to be careful and there were a couple of time that we weren't but...my thoughts left me. I looked at Sam and there was a smile across his face. He was actually smiling. I was still in shock; I didn't know whether to be excited or worried.
I thought back to what my mother said, 'Go my son! You need to help our tribe, our family... and soon to be, your own family.' I looked back at the doctor and blinked my eyes a couple of times. "Excuse me Dr. Fang?" He laughed and said again, "Bella is pregnant. She is about two months along." I slow smile crept across my face. I was starting to get excited. "Wait Jacob, with good news there is sometimes bad." My smile faded and I stared at him. He was working on my arm and then got up to take stuff to his bag. The suspense was killing me, "Please Dr. Fang, tell me what is wrong?"
He turned back to me but spoke in a soft voice. "Jacob, when I got her back here and started my examination to make sure she was okay, I smelled blood. I knew it wasn't yours or mine. I continued my examination thinking that Bella cut herself on something but then I saw the blood on her jeans. I.....okay I'm just going to tell you, she lost a lot of blood. I won't know for sure, until I can get her in an ultrasound, if the baby is alright. I had to transfuse her due to the amount of blood she lost. Jacob," he crossed the room in one stride and placed his hand on my shoulder. "I don't know if the baby will make it. I really don't know if I can save Bella. She's losing a lot of blood. I'm hanging a bag every hour and her counts are getting lower."
My heart was being ripped apart. I have Bella and my soon to be child on the verge of dying. Tears started to well up in my eyes. "Then change her," I mumbled. Dr. Cullen shook his head, "Even if we could, she's lost to much blood we would kill her. Also Bella woke up between the field and here. Made Edward promise not to change her, she doesn't want it." I looked back to the doorway, where Edward had left. "She wants you Jacob. She doesn't want this life anymore." I looked back to Dr. Cullen and realized then why Edward was so hurt. Dr. Cullen continued, "I wanted to wait until you were both awake to make a decision. I'm awaiting the ultrasound machine, which will get here in the morning. I have enough blood on supply here for her until tomorrow evening."
Most of that I heard but the only thing that stayed, "What decision?" He stopped mid sentence and patted my shoulder. He walked back over to his bag, thinking about what to tell me. "The decision that needs to be made is, keep the baby and risk losing Bella or taking the baby and saving Bella. Either or will be tricky, I could lose both either way. Bella has lost so much blood." He shook his head again and sighed.
"I want to see her, now." Dr Cullen turned around and looked at me, "I don't think that's a good idea right now Jacob. You are upset and she's asleep." I growled and said again, "I want to see her, NOW!" I saw movement in the doorway. Embry and Jasper were there. Jasper of course sensed the tension and Embry, well Embry is just like that. "Jasper, do even think about doing that emotion thing. I want to see Bella." I started to get up and I saw everyone move.
Jasper tried to push me back in bed, while Embry and Sam helping me out. "Jasper let him go. He needs to see Bella," I heard Edward say. I looked up and he was standing in the doorway with sparkling eyes. I didn't think that vampires can cry. "No we can't Jacob, but I can still be emotional when I need too." He turned and walked away from the door.
I was still in a fog as Sam and Embry helped me down the long hallway to where Bella was. We moved slowly and softly since I was still wincing from the wounds. I felt like I was hit by a train. Dr. Cullen ushered us into a gorgeous bedroom, with windows all around. There were dark curtains in front of them but they were all tied to let the light come in. There was a huge Victorian bed that had a canapé over it. The bed covers were dark red, and they looked like satin, similar thing that I had been laying on. I looked past the fabric and saw a small body among it. I saw Edward standing beside the bed with his hand on her head. The sadness was still there in his eyes. I finally understood why it was there. There was no way now that he would be able to get her back. A low growl came from him and he moved away from the bed.
I whispered to the doctor, "Does she know? I mean does she know she's pregnant?" Dr. Cullen shook his head no and continued forward with a chair in hand. He waved his hand for me to sit down on it. He had positioned it right beside Bella's head. I looked around her and saw the tubes that were leading up above Bella's head. I saw the bag of blood and two other bags, one smaller than the other, both clear liquid. "Beside the blood, we are giving her antibiotics that are safe for her and the baby. I think we cleaned the site very well but I wanted to take the extra precaution. The incision is mostly healed already. She seems to be a fast healer. Not like us of course but still faster than norms." He went and took the old bag of blood down and walked over to the doorway. I watched the four of them walk towards the door. "Edward can you stay a minute," I said. He stopped dead in his tracks and stood by the doorway. Sam, Embry and Dr. Cullen continued his walk out of the room. Before Dr. Cullen fully left the room he turned back towards me, "We'll leave you now. Just let Edward know if you are ready to go back to your room."
I shook my head, "I would prefer to stay here with her. I don't want to leave her anymore than I have too. Not until she is awake." He smiled, "Of course you can stay with her. I'll have Emmett and Jasper carry the couch up for you." Edward mumbled something as Dr. Cullen walked out the door. I didn't make it out because my mind was going through a million things to talk to Edward about.
He stayed near the doorway. I looked over at him and he smiled that crooked smile. "Yes Jacob I'm sad about this. I have always day dreamed of her and I but it seems as that future is no more. The future is never for current, you of all people know that." I slowly nodded my head in agreement and looked over to Bella asleep. The thought ran through my head, 'what will she say? What will she do when she wakes up? Will she truly still want me after I didn't protect her like I should have?' I heard him huff with a growl, "Come on Jacob. You are all she thinks about. Even when I carried her back to the house, the first thing she asked was about you. She was worried sick about you. Not me, just you. Right then I knew I lost her. You have her all now, heart and soul." I sat there taking in all that he said. "Further more don't ever say that around me again. You fought with the best Jacob and you held your own. You are a great warrior and don't forget that. Bella is lucky to have you." I saw him start to move out the door and I whispered, "Thank you Edward you have been a great friend. I really mean that. From me to Bella, I want you to be in our lives." Edward stopped and turned to look at me. "Do you mean that?"
I looked over at him and he saw it in my eyes told the truth, no lies. "Why?" He whispered. I smiled and said, "Because someone very close to me said that we should work our issues out. That we will both need each other. That another war is coming." I started to show him in my mind the dream that I had, with my mother and Harry. He gasped and stared at me. "That's what the said," he smiled. "Also I know Bella wouldn't want you or the rest of the Cullen's be out of her life. So I guess I'll have to deal with you." I finally got a snicker out of him.
He whispered, "Thank you Jacob. I'll leave you. Just whisper to me when your ready for the couch." I nodded and looked back to Bella. I brushed my index finger across her cheek. She moved her face into my hand and I could now see her pouting lips. I leaned in and lightly kissed them. She sighed and whispered, "Jacob." She moved a little in the bed and ended up on her side. "I'm here Bella. I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere." She sighed again. I sat back in the chair and laid my head on the side of the bed. Time to get some more rest, I'm so tired and Dr. Cullen will wake me up later. I faded into the blackness.
