Argument

(Tess POV)

I woke up in a strange room. Jacob was towering over me, a look of relief on his face.

"I think it was just shock, Jacob. No need to worry." Carlisle said, leaving the room.

"Tess, are you okay?" Jacob asked, sitting me up.

"... Y-yeah... I think so..." I shook my head to clear it.

"Tessa?" Edward asked from the doorway behind me, "May I ask something of you?"

"That depends... What do you need?"

"I... need you... to convince Bella... to terminate this pregnancy."

"WHAT?!" Both Jacob and I screamed.

"It will most likely kill her... And I can't live... with something that... killed her."

"But – "

"She thinks that, too... But Carlisle says that the odds of us saving her last minute are... low. In the single-digits low..."

"But you can't... force her to have an abortion!"

But, maybe... maybe you can convince her to..."

"I'm sorry, Edward; I don't want her to die either... But I'm not going... to even try to convince a soon-to-be mother to abort her child – especially if her own husband couldn't convince her." I said, shaking my head, "If she wanted to have one, I would support her, but she doesn't. And that's a fact."

"Jacob?" Edward said, turning to him.

Jake looked down at me.

"C'mon, man – I need your help!"

I stared up at Jacob.

He sighed. "Alright," Jacob said, looking back up at Edward, "I'll talk to her..."

"Oh, thank you, SO much!" Edward exclaimed, smiling and leaving the room.

"Jacob," I exclaimed, getting up quickly, "How the hell could you say that – right in front of me – when I'm opposed to it?!" I got up too fast and almost fell down, but Jacob caught me.

"Mm mm, no!" I shouted, standing up steadily," You are officially in the dog house."

He narrowed his eyes and smiled slyly. "Was that a play on words, because I'm a werewolf?"

I thought for a second and then rolled my eyes. "No, it wasn't!"

I turned and walked out of the room.

. . .

Rosalie was downstairs, sitting on the couch with Bella.

"Hey..." I said, staring at the ground, "I'm sorry about how I acted earlier..." I paused, twiddling my thumbs, "I was just... really worried, and mad that you guys tried to get me to actually believe that story, and that you tricked my dad into believing it..."

She looked down too. "It's... alright. I guess. I probably would feel the same way if someone tried to pull that on me..." She looked up at me, "And I'm glad you're on Bella's side, too."

"You... heard that?"

"Yeah... and I'm happy that you're mad at your boyfriend..."

"Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one with her..."

"Yeah... It's just me, Emmett, and now you. Carlisle and Esme are kind of neutral on the subject."

Jacob walked into the room. Bella looked at both of us, silently telling us to go. We got up and, made our way to the porch. I glared at Jake as we passed eachother, and I walked out onto the porch with Rosalie.

"I only agree with one thing that Edward wants..." She said, leaning against the railing.

"Yeah? What's that?" I asked, joining her, staring out at the night sky.

"He doesn't want Bella to be turned... And neither do I..."

"I don't want her to be turned, either... I didn't even know she wanted to be until she told me they were getting married..."

"Really?"

"Yeah, she said she didn't want to be 'another year older' than Edward, and... I realized what that meant..." I sighed.

"Wow... That must have been hard to handle..."

"Not really, actually... I mean, I'd probably do something like that to be with Jake forever..."

"Speaking of..." Rosalie mumbled as Jacob opened the door and walked outside.

I nodded at Rosalie and she went back inside.

"It didn't work..." He mentioned, coming towards me.

"I'm still mad at you." I said, turning away to look out into the woods.

"Oh, come on! Seriously?!"

"Yes, 'seriously!'" I exclaimed, turning to face him, "You tried to convince my sister to have an abortion! I take that stuff very seriously!"

He looked down, regretfully, "I'm sorry... I just... wanted to help Edward out..."

"I don't care! I'm not just going to... forget this, Jake!"

He looked down again.

"Look, you already know that it's not gonna be for more than... a week, right? I can barely stand a day without you... but... I can't just... let this kinda thing fly without... some sort of consequence!"

He shook his head. "Fine..."

"And, just and FYI, I'm going to be hanging around here a lot more... I want to be around my sister a lot... at least until she's been turned..."

"Then I'll hang, too."

"I... don't know if that'll be okay..."

"It must be! You're my girlfriend..."

I rolled my eyes and shoved him playfully.

Walking back inside, I smiled.

I was going to be an aunt.

A/N: Sorry for such a short chapter after such a long break, but I've been cutting into other chapters for about a week now, and I'm getting really annoyed with it, so now we're back on track.

Also, welcome back, peoples! I'm back, after that 5 day break... So, I'm glad I could write this today. I've actually been getting creative again.

And I have an outline for this whole story, even after the end of the original franchise; which, by the way, we are going to have a pretty big transition soon, like, in the next few chapters... It skips about... two years into the future? Yeah, that sounds about right. So, anyway, be prepared for that, and leave a review!
