I continued to rub Bella's back as she sobbed her last tears out. I looked at the family around me. Jasper was holding Alice in his arms. Emmett was wrapped around Rosalie. Carlisle had Esme on his lap rubbing her back. Edward stood like a statue looking into the fire. They all knew this was the end for them. I looked over at Carlisle and whispered, "What does this all mean Dr. Cullen? Are they going to kill all of us because she's not a vampire? Are we going to run, what does this mean?"

All eyes came to me and Dr. Cullen took in a slow breath, "This means that we have another war ahead of us. We will need everyone's support, including the pack. They are going to want to kill us for not changing her but I'm hoping with them seeing that she's with you, a 'werewolf' that they will let us be. See Caius use to hunt 'werewolf's', not like your tribe but actual men that transform into a creature on full moons. You can transform whenever you feel like it. So you are actually a different breed of them. Yet, my hope is to scare them enough with how large your pack is that they will let us be. That is if your pack is welling to stand beside us."

At that moment Sam charged in the house and into the room. The whole pack was with him, "We will stand beside you if it's to protect Bella and the young. She's our queen, our princess; we will protect her and the babe as our lives depend on it." Bella shifted and looked behind us to where Sam stood with his chin high. She got up and walked over to Sam, touching his face. Sam softened and looked down to Bella. "Sam, thank you. I have said some horrible things about you in the past. You are a great warrior and a great leader. I would not ask you to risk your life. You need to be with Emily." Sam started to whimper when Emily came up behind him. "Emily," Bella gasped.

The whole room got still. This was the first time the Cullen's have seen her. "So it is true, the story about a wolf girl?" Emily laughed and Bella charged her, wrapping her arms around her friend. "Wolf girl is a bad term, but yes, the story about a werewolf attacking me and surviving it. Is true but as you can see I don't have hair growing around my face and all that silliness. I'm just a normal girl with scars. Just like you Jasper." Jasper looked at her a little stunned but nodded his head at her. "Bella," she continued looking down at her, "I wouldn't ask Sam not to defend you. You are our life now. You are carrying the young of our tribe leader. Our father, our son, our king, we will protect you in anyway that you need. If that means the Sam has to face vampires, than so be it."

Sam reached over and pulled Emily beside him which pulled Bella into his arms too. I stood up and looked at Alice. "How long?" Alice shook her head, "I don't know. I need to go somewhere, where the baby and you guys can't interfere with my vision. Come Jasper; let's find a place for me to think." As Jasper and Alice left the came to Bella's side and Alice hugged Bella tightly and whispered that she would be back soon. I blinked my eyes and they were gone. Emily walked Bella back over to me and Bella fell into my arms. She was exhausted. "Let's go home." Bella shook her head. "I want to stay here Jacob. Please. I need to stay here with them."

I closed my eyes and inhaled slowly and then looked down at her. I could see the need that she just wanted to make sure things were okay. I looked up at Carlisle and he nodded. "You are all free to stay here if you want." Sam spoke up, "We will be going back to the reservation but we will have rotation outside if you need anything." I nodded to him and I heard him telling the pack who was on duty first. Seth and Embry sounds like. I looked down at Bella and she had her eyes closed.

"Come Jacob, you can rest in my room," Edward was standing over my shoulder. I whispered, "Thanks but this is fine." Edward came back into my line of sight, "Come on Jacob, you know that you're not going to get any rest sleeping like this. We need you to be well rested. Come, follow me to my room. I have never slept in the bed; it's just there for show. You can sleep beside Bella and no one can bother you." I was a little taken back by this but I nodded my head and scoped Bella up in my arms. Edward showed me to his room, "Here there is a bathroom to the far right, near the closet and dresser. You can open the doors if it's to hot in there. There is normally a good breeze this late at night." I nodded and said my thanks to him. He nodded his head, "The least I could do for the man that is my Bella's heart." I turned to look at him but he closed the doors.

I walked over to the bed and laid Bella down slowly. I took off her shoes and soaks. I pulled the covers down from underneath her. Covered her up and I walked over to the doors. I opened this up and looked out over the balcony. He really did have a beautiful view from here. I walked into the bathroom and washed my face and used the facilities. I walked back out into the room and saw that Bella had kicked the covers off and was sweating. I didn't want to wake her while I was removing her clothes but looks like I was going to have to try to remove them.

I walked over to the bed and went to work on removing her jeans. That wasn't too hard, she whimpered a couple of times. I went to remove her jacket, and she made it easy by switching sides while I removed it. She shivered then and I realized the breeze. She should be comfortable now. I covered her back up. Went to the other side of the bed and striped myself down to nothing and crawled into bed. I was really tired. I don't think I had slept for months. My brain shut down and I fell into the blackness.

I saw Bella and myself standing in the field, laughing and having a good time. All of a sudden the sky got black and a strange smell came from my left. I jumped up and place Bella behind me. I growled as I stared into the woods. Next thing I saw were red eyes. The eyes glowed in the darkness and then words came from them in a whispered, "You will give us Bella." I growled and mumbled, "Over my dead body." I heard an evil laugh and then a little girl stepped out of the shadows and mumbled, "That can be arranged." Then I got this instant pain. I was being tortured for no reason. No one was touching me and I didn't know how this was happening. I could hear Bella screaming my name over and over. She was yelling no, but I never saw her or felt her touches. I was in darkness, and then I could feel myself falling into the void. The ancestors were standing in front of me whispering their congratulation and you tried your best. My mother was next and she came up and hugged me. "You still have time my son. You know what you have to do to protect Bella. You know what you have to do." She kissed my cheek and then I sat start up in bed. I looked around and noticed it was dark outside. Damn, how long have I been asleep? I looked over at the clock beside the bed and it said 8:06pm. Damn I have been asleep for twelve hours. I looked over to see Bella was still asleep.

I lay back down and pulled her close to me. She whimpered but then rolled so she could crawl up around me. God that felt good and I didn't want this to end, but I thought about my dream and about how this could end at anytime. I felt a kiss on my chest and I looked down and saw those big brown eyes looking back at me. "Hi," I said in a husky voice. She smiled and said, "Hi," in a very husky too. I leaned down to kiss her lips and she pushed herself up my body. I realized that she was naked. "Bella, when did you take your clothes off?" She trailed kisses down my neck and to my chest. "Sometime this morning when I was hot, I figured since you were I would too."

"Bella, we can't. Not here not right now." She looked up at me and pouted. I laughed and kissed her stuck out lip. All I could think of was a house full of vampires and I didn't want them hearing me having sex with her. "Come on lets go see if Alice and Jasper are back." She nodded and then her stomach growled. "Also let's get something to eat." She laughed and started to work on getting her clothes back on. I did the same and walked out of the room with our hands linked together. We got to the top of the stairs when Carlisle was at the foot. "Come, we have news and Esme has food ready for you." I heard a grumble of a couple of people and realized that was Seth's and Embry's voices.

Bella and I walked into the kitchen and saw both of them shoving food down their throats. "You might want to get in there before it's gone. Oh wait they might eat your arm if you do," Emmett laughed. Rosalie mumbled, "Disgusting." I laughed and walked over to the table and saw that Esme cook a full meal for about ten people. "I'll get your plate Bella, what you want." She laughed and told me what to get her. She went and sat down at the table with the boys. I walked around and got the things she wanted and then worked on my food. The whole Cullen clan was in there and looking glum.

Alice spoke up, "I had a vision last night. It looks like they will be here in a couple of weeks. Carlisle and Esme are leaving in about an hour to try and track down some friends that might help. Trina and her family are on their way down here. They are going to help as much as they can. Emmett and Rosalie are going to England to find a couple of our friends out that way. Jasper and I are heading to the Amazon to see if we can find a much needed help. We all should be back by the end of this coming week, which will give us a week to prepare for the attack." Bella looked up at Alice, "But we don't know if there will be an attack, do we?" Alice shook her head, "Ever vision I had, has not come out to our benefit. I really don't know how this is going to go Bella. We are going to get as much help as we can to make this work. We just don't know how many will comply with the whole, werewolves being involved."

I could tell Bella was getting upset again, "It's okay Bella." I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and she fell into my chest. Edward moved into the room, "I'm going to stay here and help protect Bella until friends come. After that I'm going to Italy to see if I can delay this from happening. It might make it worse but I need to try." Alice and Bella both gasped, Edward must have just decided this just now since we were all in the house. Alice couldn't see him or see the outcome. "Edward no," both Alice and Bella said at the same time. Edward looked at Bella and whispered, "I need to protect you and if that means I lose my life than it will be worth it than losing you or someone in my family. Or even you Jacob, I can't handle standing here and seeing you die and Bella be broken hearted. I just can't do it." I could understand where he was coming from with this.

Bella jumped up and ran into Edward's arms. "Please Edward, don't go. I can't loose you. I love you too much." I looked up at Edward and then to Bella. Jealousy bared its ugly head, "What?" I said in a growl. Emmett came up to my right and then Jasper was to my left. Bella turned to look at me, "I'm....I.....I don't know anymore Jacob. I can't be without either of you two. I need both of you in my life. I love both of you equally. I just don't know what to do. If I don't be with Edward, they will kill us all. If I'm with Edward for just when Volturi show up and we tell them that the wedding was put off due to the newborns, they would understand wouldn't they?"

I could feel myself loosing control. I was going to hit something or someone. He was six foot three with Bella in his arms. Edward's eyes came to mine telling me not too but I just saw red. I lunged myself at him but felt eight hands on me. I was growling and shouting at them both. "You are pregnant with my baby, Bella. How could you do this? How could you choose him over me?" "I'm not choosing anyone right now Jacob. I'm just saying that to save us all, why don't we just go with this plan and see what Alice sees. If it can save us all, I have to do it." I looked over at Alice as she shook her head. She left the house as the boys got me to sit down.

'That's it Edward, you and me after Alice gets back. May the best man win?' I thought toward him. Edward grinned and whispered, "You're on!"
