As I sat there waiting for Alice to return, I stared down at my hands. Not looking up at anyone that enters the dinning room. Bella came in to apologize and she tried to hug me but I shrugged her off. Of course this upset her, I heard her crying as she left but I just couldn't take anything right now. How could she do this to me? Ask me to stand aside and let her love on Edward when they have a past. The past is still there and still haunts me. I trust Bella but I don't trust Edward. I know he's intensions; they are the same as mine when I first saw Bella after she came to Forks. She's a pure beauty; she doesn't need makeup or fancy clothes. She, herself, is beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

I continued to think about how my life has changed when my eyes started to get heavy. I laid my head down on my arms that I curled up on the table. I started to drift into my dreams, seeing Bella and I holding each other while our children ran around. I see myself kissing Bella and then the sun blinded me. I gasped at the brightness and then cursing at it for being so bright. I heard a giggle off to my right. I looked over, "Mom?"

She laughed and opened her arms to me. I ran to her as I started to weep, why was I crying. I landed at her feet and wrapped my arms around her waist, burring my face in her stomach. I continued to cry while she ran her hands threw my hair, telling me that it would be alright.

Once my eyes couldn't allow the tears to escape anymore, I looked up at her. I never noticed how beautiful my mother was with her long dark hair. It lays flat against her back and shoulders. Her beautiful tan, with those deep brown eyes, and her smile was like sunshine. "Son, what has you so upset?"

I blinked a couple of times, trying to get my eyes to stop burning. "Things aren't going the way I thought they would mother. Bella is confused, doesn't know what she wants. She is in the arms of another man as we speak. I don't think I can hold on to her anymore. She wants both of us, but I don't think I can share."

I looked up at my mother like a lost little boy. I needed her even more now than any other time. I needed her honesty, her love, her hugs and kisses. She pulled away from me and walked over to a bench. I followed needing her to answer me, tell me what I'm suppose to do. She sat down and motioned for me to have a seat beside her. She was staring off in front of us so I followed her gaze. I gasped at the site before me. It was the ocean, no; it was more than that, it was La Push. We were on the beach, watching the sunset.

"Son, tell me what you see and feel?" I looked back at her when I notice she was still staring ahead I looked back at the sun. "I see the sunset, the ocean calm, the birds feeding, and the coldness of the water." I could see her nod her head and she closed her eyes like she was enjoying the moment. I did the same, soaking up the sunset and listening to the birds talk. "You forget the most important part my son."

That snapped me out of the enjoyment. I looked back at my mother and she was staring right at me. "You forgot the most important part. That the sunset stands for the beginning of the night and the end of the day. You can be shown the task but at the end of it, things could go away like the sun. Things that you might not enjoy to know about but after the night, comes another day, another life, another love, another child." She had me so confused that I couldn't figure out the meaning. She looked back to the sun, "the sun can show you many things, but so can the darkness. You are in the darkness right now, you are in the night. You know what you need to do. We have told you what you need to do. You have done some of them but not all of them. Your future is still in the folds."

"So I have to let her do what she is going to do or I will lose her?" My mother shook her head and looked me in the eyes, "You can't have her either way my son. If you keep her, she will die. If you give her away, you will die. Either way, you can't be with her. Your heart will die in either situation. It's up to you on which way you want this. Can you live without her or still stand beside her with another man's arm around her?"

"Why," was all I could get out. After a moment I looked down at my hands because I could feel the tears rising up again. "Why can't I have what I want? Sam got his, why can't I have mine?" I looked back at my mother with tears rolling down my face. She smiled and wiped one of the tears away from my face. "It's not to punish you my son, it to have you whole. You are a strong warrior that the tribe needs, and we need you whole. We need you strong and un-wounded by a love that is poison to you."

Anger hit me, "this is all about the god damn tribe?" She looked at me with a surprise expression. "Of course my son, you are their leader. Our tribe is dwindling and we need our blood reunited. You are our leader." She touched my arm and I stood up to move away from the touch. "You know what mother? Tell them that they can give leadership to someone else. I want Bella and I don't care if it kills me, I'll have her."

As I turned I heard my mother whisper, "then I'll see you soon my son." I continued to walk until I jerked up when someone hit the table hard. Alice was standing there staring at me with those golden eyes. "Come, we have much to talk about." She turned and walked out. I stood up and followed her into the living room.

I looked around and saw Bella sitting on the couch with Esme on one side and Carlisle on the other. Bella looked up at me but I looked away from her. I heard a whimper but I didn't look back at her. Alice walked up to the fireplace so that she was in front for everyone to see.

"Edward, you going to the Volturi, it will not help. The most I got was them laughing, since this hasn't actually happened I can't tell what they would do but it didn't feel good. Next, they are going to be here when the next snow falls, which will put it around Saturday of next week. So we only have a week to find everyone. I can not see any fighting as of right now. That's all that I got. Carlisle, Edward, and Jacob, may I have a word with all of you, alone. I would appreciate it." Alice turned and walked right past me and out the front door.

I followed her and Jasper, which she sent him back into the house like a little puppy. I snickered at the look on Jasper's face. I looked behind me and saw Edward and Carlisle following just as me. Hands in the pockets, heads down, wondering what this was all about.

She walked all the way to the river that ran behind their house, several yards away. She stopped and jumped up into the tree then walked over to the middle of a tree branch and sat. I leaned up against the tree as Carlisle and Edward made a semi-circle around her. She sighed lightly and looked at Edward, "Something has changed in the future." She looked down at me and then back to Edward. "Something major, I'm only getting glimpses but neither of you two is going to like the out come." I continued to look up at her while she grasped at what she was about to say.

"Carlisle, these two idiots are planning on fighting for Bella after I returned from my visions. I thought that you should know so that we can keep them apart." Carlisle looked at me and then at Edward, "Why Edward?" I spoke up, "Its due time that we hash out what we have between us. We both hate each other, so might as well fight it out right?" I looked up at Alice with a smirk on my face. She looked grim, "I saw you two fighting and one of you die due to it. Do you really want Bella to have to deal with that, especially in her state?" What the hell was she talking about?

"Alice, what are you talking about? What was that?" Edward asked her. Alice looked at her brother with horror and worry. Edward gasped and whispered no. I growled, "Could you enlighten me please." Alice looked over at me with eyes of sympathy. "Bella is going to have complication in the pregnancy. I'm so sorry Jacob but she will lose the child. I have seen her in pain and have seen you sitting beside her bed the whole time."

I could feel the tears again, "when" was all I could get out. "It will happen while we are gone looking for help. Carlisle that's also another reason I brought you here with them. You will need to show them how to take care of her while we are gone." I looked over at the vampire and he looked as sad as I felt. He nodded and started to turn to go. I grabbed his arm, I wanted to tell him thank you, sorry, something. I couldn't make my mouth work. He smiled at me and patted my hand, turning away from me and took off towards the house.

I looked back to Edward and Alice. They were both staring at each other, having their own little conversation in their heads. "Alice, that can't happen. I won't allow it," Edward mumbled to her. "What is it?" I said with a little force. Their golden eyes hit me and almost took my breath away. I'm still not use to those eyes sometimes. They are so different looking. Alice spoke up again, "There is more that I have seen but I don't know if you want to know or not. It's a little......upsetting to all of us." I growled, "Tell me."

Alice looked at Edward and I saw him nod his head as he turned away from me. "Some of the visions I have seen, well basically we will lose a lot of people, including Bella and you." I stopped breathing for a second I'm sure of it. I looked over at Edward and he still had his back towards me. "How," I asked.

"The Volturi get upset, the next I see is a few of our friends dying, along with Edward. I then see you dying Jacob." Her eyes hit me as I stared at her in disbelief. "Of course this doesn't mean it will happen but it's just some of the glimpses I'm getting." She shrugged her shoulders and jumped down from the tree. She looked towards the house, she seemed a little spaced out and then she smirk.

"Okay, I have given you guys enough information to the point you won't fight. I'm going to go back to the house and finish packing. You boys better get into the house soon so Carlisle can show you a few things in case Bella does need you." I nodded and she was gone.

I looked over to Edward, who still had his back to me. "Edward, I'm so sorry. I ...I'm just...hell I don't know what to say." Edward didn't move. I continued to try to think of what I needed to say but then Edward turned to look at me. The expression on his face was of sadness, horror, and scared. I knew what he was feeling because I was feeling it too. "No, Jacob. I owe you an apology. You are right, I was trying to get Bella back and now we both might be without her. I can't Jacob, I can't live without her. It's like a hole in my frozen heart. I feel incomplete when I'm not near her. I know you can understand. Have you imprinted on her Jacob? Please tell me, have you?"

I stood there in total shock from this new information. I was right; he was trying to get her back. I slowly shock my head no. "No, Edward I haven't but that doesn't mean that I don't love her and she don't love me back. That's not saying that we can't be together forever either." He nodded his head as in agreeing with me.

"We must be on the move Jacob. We have a lot to prepare for." He started to walk toward the house, "Edward stop. I need to say this." He turned around and looked at me. "I had a dream before Alice came home. My ancestors told me that if I don't give her up, she will die. They are telling me that I need to end things between myself and her. I don't know if I can, but I can't lose her either. Basically I'm saying we need to talk to her and she needs to decide for herself, if she wants me or you. She needs to know the facts about everything. She has the right to know."

Edward looked back at the house and then turned back to me, "Let's go." We both walked back to the house, quiet and thinking. When we got back, the Cullen's' and the pack were standing outside. Carlisle pulled us aside and told us what he did and what to do. He told us to call him with any questions or concerns. I walked over to the pack and told them to go home, get some rest. I would stay with Bella and if I needed anything I would yell.

Everyone left besides me, Edward and Bella. I looked over at Bella and she looked like she was almost in tears. Her eyes came to me and I smirked at her. She smiled a little and I could see the tears starting to well up in her eyes. I walked slowly toward her as she ran off the porch. She threw her arms around my waist and hugged me tightly. She was sobbing and saying she was sorry. I tried to get her to calm down when Edward came over and touched her cheek. "Bella, we both have a lot to talk to you about. Please, let's go into the house where you can rest and keep warm." Bella nodded her head but not letting go of me. I grabbed her hands from behind my back and loosened her grip. She looked up at me; I smiled and put her hands in Edward's. Her eyes came back up to mine and I could see the pain. She wanted me but I was pushing her into Edward. She then put her eyes on Edward and he smiled. I could see the tension decrease through her whole body. She sighed and walked with Edward into the house. My chest was on fire, I was in pain. I swallowed hard and slowly walked into the house. Tonight was going to be a rough night.
