SM owns Twilight. We just want to live in her world a bit longer.

A/N Lemonade warning - Bella and Jake kinda took over this chapter. But they wanted it; they needed it, so I let them…

Chapter 34

The sunlight poured through the window and shone on the opposite wall, highlighting some old posters. Bella could hear the sound of soft rain on a tin roof. She woke slowly, taking longer than it should have to work out where she was. Jacob's bedroom.

The bed was much smaller than they were used to, a twin, not a king. She was basically lying on top of Jacob, not that either of them minded. A thin layer of sweat was coating her chest and his where their skin touched. Her back was cold. They had no sheet covering them.

But somehow, she was still comfortable. It was like sleeping with one leg under the blanket and one leg on top.

Bella knew they had to get up. There were things to do, but she didn't want to face reality just yet.

Her birthday had been a complete disaster, again. Except for this year, she got Jacob. Her Jacob. And she got to keep him forever. He was never going to leave her. He would never love another.

"Are you crying again?" Jake asked quietly.

Bella chuckled. "I think I got something in my eye," she joked.

"Both eyes, at the same time?" he asked, peering down at her. Bella grinned up at him.

"Morning," she whispered, lifting up on her elbows so she could reach his lips. He met her in the middle, and they kissed like there was no tomorrow, when in reality, they had a lifetime together.

She felt his morning wood grow even larger under her thigh. She moved slightly, and he groaned into her mouth.

It didn't take long for them to get tangled up in each other. She was on top, slowly riding him the way they both loved it.

She felt the tingle start in her toes and work its way up her legs. Jake reached for her neck and pulled her down to his lips as she climaxed. He thrust up a couple more times before finding his own release.

Bella froze. It wasn't the usual cease of movement that Jacob was used to. Her eyes flew open, and she stared at Jake with a shocked expression.

"What's wrong?" he asked her urgently. Bella slowly pulled herself off Jacob and stood next to his bed. She was very aware of his hot seed running down the inside of her thighs.

"We didn't use… I'm not on…" she stuttered.

Jacob questioned her with his eyes. She just started pacing the room. It was a small room, so she could only go three steps before she had to turn around.

"Are you going to finish one of those sentences?"

Eventually, she sat down on the bed next to him. "It should be okay… maybe. I don't know exactly how this works."

Jacob chuckled. "I still have no idea what you are talking about."

"Protection!"

"Oh…" Jacob froze and then grimaced. "Shit. I totally didn't think about that."

"Yeah, me either. Apparently... It's been two weeks since my last period. So… shit, I'm probably fertile right now… can you smell it? Do I smell different at different times of the month?" Bella was so confused. On the one hand, she was ecstatic that she could have Jacob's babies, but that didn't mean she wanted to have them now.

"Um…" Jacob closed his eyes as he tried to think. "You smell different now from how you smelt before we first got together. But I think that is just because I am all over you. Red loves it." Jacob smirked.

Bella frowned. Shouldn't she smell different throughout the month? Oh, what would she know? She wasn't a wolf.

"Okay… so we should probably use condoms until I can get on the pill or something."

"Ugh," Jacob complained. "That does not sound fun, and then you will smell different." He pouted.

Bella swatted him on the arm, not hard; she didn't want to hurt her hand. "Jake!" she complained.

He grabbed her arm and pulled her back on top of his body. "I know, I know… but would it be so bad?"

Bella laid her head on his chest and sighed. Jake started stroking her back. "No, it wouldn't be bad. I am thrilled that now we can have kids - one day. But Jake, you are only sixteen. I am nineteen. Barely an adult."

He kissed the top of her head. "But it would be cool, wouldn't it. To see mini Bells and Jake running around. We could have a whole bunch of them."

Bella sat up and looked into his eyes. "Good morning Red, I wasn't expecting to have a conversation with you this morning… a whole bunch of them." She shook her head. "You mean a litter… a litter of puppies, right?" she joked but couldn't keep a straight face.

Jacob laughed and threw his head back in the pillow. It had been so long since Bella had heard that laugh; it made her whole body feel warm.

He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her up to his face. "Now Red is definitely excited by that."

Bella smiled and kissed him. He pulled away and started kissing her down her neck, "you'd better not mention a litter of puppies again until you have proper birth control. Cause Red is very close to the surface right now, and he wants to take you again. Just to make sure."

Bella squealed and tried to clamber off Jake. He held her tight against his chest as he continued a trail of kisses down her shoulder and then over his mark. "You're not going anywhere," he mumbled into her skin.

Her self control was quickly slipping away. She knew if she told him no, he would stop. However, the logical part of her brain thought it was probably too late for protection today anyway…

Jake had a tight grip on her body as he continued to lavish kisses on her neck and shoulder.

She had a thought... she slowly pushed on Jake's chest against his hold. His arms pulled her in tighter, and she pushed harder again. Jake seemed to understand her game as he strengthened his hold on her body.

Bella took a deep breath, and digging deep within herself she pushed impossible hard against him. He tried to maintain his grip, but she felt it faulted as she raised herself on his chest. She looked at his confused face and winked before skillfully dodging his grasp.

"Haha!" she boasted, standing up at the end of the bed, flexing her almost non-existent muscles. She knew she wasn't as strong as Jake. She was still as thin as a rake, but she was stronger than she looked.

Jake got a cheeky look on his face before he rolled up off the bed and stalked towards her. He pinned her to the wall between his arms. They stared into each other's eyes, panting; the sexual tension was rolling off both of them.

"So you think you are stronger than me now?" he growled.

Bella couldn't help feeling both excited and a touch of fear at his change in attitude. It was exhilarating. She felt her heart pounding in her chest.

At some unknown command, they attacked each other with their mouths. It was all lips and teeth and tongues. It was rough, and Bella loved it.

She climbed up his body and wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. She pulled back on his hair and exposed his throat. She kissed along his jaw and down his neck.

She could feel his pulse point under her mouth. Without thinking, she bit him. Her teeth punctured his skin and tasted tangy blood in her mouth. Jake jerked but didn't pull her off.

Bella pulled back and licked over the wound. "You're mine," she growled.

"Yours," he replied. "Forever." He turned and threw her on his bed. She squealed as he jumped on her.

"So, you're a bit more durable than we thought, hey?" he asked with a dangerous look in his eyes.

"A-apparently," she stuttered. She wasn't sure if it was the excitement or nerves that made her stumble over her words.

He kissed her hot, hard and overpowering, pushing her body into the thin mattress.

"I'm going to fuck you now. Is that okay?" Jake told her.

Bella felt a rush of warmth to her groin. She bit her lip and nodded.

"If I hurt you or you want me to stop, tell me immediately."

She nodded again. She trusted him.

He kissed her again, and she felt his free hand cup and squeeze her breast. She moaned; they were really tender. Then, he made his way to her mould and ran a finger through her channel. She was still wet from their earlier activities.

In one swift movement, he flipped her over onto her stomach. Then, he grabbed her by the hips and lifted her butt into the air. She lifted her chest off the bed and rested on her elbows.

He placed the blunt head of his member at her entrance and pushed in. She was so wet that he went in more than halfway. She moaned loudly.

He pulled out just as quickly and repeated the action until he was into the hilt. He grabbed her hips roughly, probably leaving fingerprint bruises, and he rocked her in time with his hips.

The room was filled with their grunting, panting and the sound of slapping flesh. He increased the speed to an almost inhuman pace.

He paused momentarily. "Move forward," he told her. "Hands on the wall."

She did as he told her, staying connected the whole time. She placed her hands on the wall, but he kept pushing her until she was almost vertical, parallel to the wall. He didn't have a headboard on his bed, so it didn't get in the way.

She could feel the heat from his body radiating her back and his breath on her neck. He sucked on his mark on her neck, and her legs went weak.

He resumed thrusting in and out of her while kissing her mark. At this angle, he seemed to hit something deep inside her.

She wasn't sure if she liked it, it was slightly uncomfortable but also pleasurable at the same time. "J-Jake?"

He whispered in her ear, "it's okay. I've got you."

He hit the same spot in rapid succession, and she let out a guttural groan as her orgasm ripped through her body from deep inside her. She sank against the wall, and Jake kept her upright with his arms. He must have come at the same time as her, but she didn't even notice.

Jake chuckled in her ear. "How was that?"

Bella felt like her eyes were rolling around in her head. Her breathing was irregular. She thought she might actually pass out.

Jake caught her as her body sagged. "Woah," he said as he scooped her up. He sat against the wall, cradling her body, stroking her back gently.

Eventually, she started to stir. He felt her eyelashes flutter against his chest.

"Hey, you okay?" he asked her.

"Huh… Oh my... did I pass out?"

"Yep," he said, clearly pleased with himself.

Bella giggled, "wow."

"I'll say," he agreed. Jake moved the hair off her face and leaned down to capture her lips.

"I love you," he whispered.

"I love you, too," she replied.

They sat embracing for a few minutes before Bella's stomach grumbled. They both laughed.

"Now that's a first," Jake said. "Usually, it is me."

"I am starving. Maybe we should have breakfast before I pass out again."

Bella stood up in one fluid movement, and Jake looked at her with a stunned expression. "What?" she asked.

"You are graceful, did you know that?"

"Haha," she rolled her eyes.

"No, really, you are. When was the last time you fell over?"

Bella chewed on her lip as she thought. "I don't remember."

"Maybe that's one of the side effects?"

Bella smiled and shook her head. "It would be nice not to be so clumsy."

Jake gave her one of his old t-shirts to wear, and she padded out to the kitchen to make breakfast. He had to go and phase to check on the pack.

Bella had just finished making a stack of French toast when he came in the back door.

"Sam and Jared are patrolling, switched out with Embry and Leah early this morning. There is a meeting at 9, and everyone is coming. Elders, pack, imprints, even your Dad."

"Oh, okay," Bella said nervously. "I have to go to work afterwards." She really wished she could have spent the day with Jake, but he would pack stuff to do.

"One day, we will get away," Jake suggested, feeling Bella's frustration at being separated. "We can take a week off and leave everything behind us."

Bella sighed, "that would be nice. However, we probably won't be able to do that for a while. You are going to take on the whole pack today."

"I know," Jake said as he hugged her from behind. She was platting a massive stack of toast on his plate. It smelt delicious.

"Are you ready for it?" she asked.

"Yeah, it is time I stood up. It's my birthright. It kinda feels right."

"I'm so proud of you," she said, turning around in his arms.

"As am I," he said as he kissed her lips.

She pulled back first, "we need to eat before you get too carried away. Again."

Jake chuckled. They ate breakfast quickly before climbing back in Bella's truck and heading to the clinic.

When they arrived, Billy was still sitting in his chair next to Rachel's bed, in a similar position to when they had left the night before. Billy had spent the night at the clinic. He must have been exhausted. Paul was sitting on the other side of the bed. They all turned to watch them walk in, including Rachel. She was awake, however she was wearing a rather uncomfortable looking neck brace.

She smiled at them as they approached her bed.

"Hey Rach, how are you feeling?" Jake asked with a smile.

"Better," she croaked.

Paul walked around the bed and pulled Jake into a man hug. They slapped each other on the back. Then Paul stood in front of Bella and picked her up in a Jake style hug. "Thank you," he whispered to her.

Bella smiled up at him. "So, is it working?" she asked.

Paul walked to the foot of Rachel's bed. He pulled back the sheets and stroked his finger along the bottom of her foot. She wriggled her toes.

"It was completely numb when I woke in the night. But the feeling is coming back slowly. I can move my toes now as well," Rachel said. "Doctor said that I will probably get full feeling back over the next few days."

"Oh Rachel, that's such good news," Bella said. She walked around Billy, closer to the bed and sat on the edge.

"I can never thank you enough for everything you have done for me," Rachel confessed.

Bella shook her head. "Just get better. That's all I need."

Rachel put her arms out, and Bella leaned in for a hug. Jacob followed her and hugged his sister also.

"Jacob, Bella," Billy said in a gruff voice. They turned to look at him. He looked utterly exhausted. "I don't know what to say." He shook his head in shame. "I don't know if you can ever forgive me for my behavior over the past month. It is inexcusable. I am truly sorry for everything."

Bella looked at Billy's apologetic face. He was like a second father to her, and being rejected by him had hurt both her and Jacob. She knew that Billy only had half the information and was doing what he felt was right at the time. However, he probably should have handled the whole thing a bit better.

Bella was never one to hold grudges. She knew she could forgive him, but she couldn't decide for Jake, and he needed to decide first.

Bella looked up at Jake; he had tears in his eyes. She could feel his indecision through their bond. He wanted his Dad back in his life, but he had been humiliated by him, and that was not something easily forgotten.

"I love you, Dad. But I need time," he admitted honestly.

Billy nodded his understanding. "I love you, too, son. And, you too, Bella. Thank you for everything."

Bella couldn't help herself; she leaned down and hugged Billy.

When she stood back up, she went straight back into Jacob's arms. He hugged her tight. She knew they would get through this, eventually.

"What about us?" a voice startled Bella from behind her. She turned around to see Brady and Colin sitting up in their beds. They were so wrapped up in the Black family drama that they had completely overlooked the puppies. "Do we get a hug too?" Colin asked.

Bella chuckled, walked over to him, and hugged him.

"How are you guys doing this morning?" she asked as she walked over to Brady to hug him as well.

Jacob gave them both a pat on the shoulder.

"Much better," Colin said. "Cuts have healed over, and the bones have mostly knitted back together. A few aches, and my ankle is still giving me grief, but we get to miss school today, so it's all good."

Bella shook her head but was happy that they were looking much better than last night.

Bella and Jacob sat around with them all, chatting about inconsequential things, until just before nine. Then, Jacob helped Billy into Bella's truck, and they headed over to the community hall.

A/N - The next chapter is a lot more content-heavy. So hopefully, this helped break up the drama a bit. Thanks for your reviews.
