Bella

I felt the warmth of Jacob's hand as he grabbed my wrist, turning me quickly to him. "Hell no. Bella, what are you saying?"

"Jacob, it will save them. Why should they die because of something I created?"

"What about us?" Tears swelled in his eyes. "We made a promise to one another."

"And we can still be together." I glanced over at Edward and Leah. "They're in love. We can be too."

Carlisle cleared his throat. "No, Bella. We can find away to survive this. But sacrificing you is not an option."

Jacob wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me into him, as if he thought one of the Cullen's would snatch me and take the Bella he loved away. "I'll do whatever needs to be done." Jacob said. "Anything, but don't take my soul from me."

Alice walked over to Carlisle. "I will go home and try to see the exact day and time. I need you guys to stay far away." She said to the wolf pack.

"I don't think you have anything to worry about." Jared grinned.

"I'll be back as soon as I can." She stated.

Alice exited the house followed by Jasper. The rest of the Cullen's made them-selves comfortable for the wait. Jacob stormed out of the house behind them. I started after him, but Leah grabbed my arm and stopped me.

Jacob

I knew that Bella was following me, but by the time I got to the make shift garage it wasn't Bella behind me anymore. It was Leah. I kicked the side of the rabbit. Anger bolted through my body, I tried to control it. I didn't want to phase.

"Jake," She said softly.

"Go away, Leah."

She ignored me like usual. She walked over and placed her hand on my trembling shoulder. "Please calm down."

I bit my tongue till I could taste the metallic taste of my blood. "This isn't the way life should be, Leah. The whole werewolves and vampires. Bella and I shouldn't have to go through this to be happy. Neither should you." I paused. "Being happy should be as easy as breathing."

She walked over and took a seat on the old rabbit seat that I had replaced in my car. She looked down at her hands. "Life isn't fair, Jake. Not even for normal people." She looked up at me and laughed. "Things were simpler in Vancouver, weren't they?"

I walked over and took a seat next to her. "Yeah." I paused. "No werewolves, no vampires and no Volturi. Just you, me and Harry." I nudged her with my elbow.

"Funny." She grinned. "Jake, we will find a way through all of this. Carlisle won't take Bella from you. You have to know that."

I took a deep breath feeling my lungs expand. "I asked her to marry me."

Leah's face went pale. "Marry, huh?" She batted her eyes. "What did she say?"

I smiled.

"Of course. She said yes."

"Leah, Do you love him?"

She nodded yes. "Very much. It's like I can't breathe if he isn't near me. I did a good job pretending in Vancouver didn't I? You had no idea that I was hiding in the woods that day, and you had no idea that I saw Edward and imprinted."

"Your good at hiding things." I stared at her for a moment. "You know if things were different and if I had never met Bella and you and I went to Canada…. I think that I could have fallen in love with you."

"Nah. I mean if there was no Bella, why would we have even left La Push? The two of you were born for each other."

"I'm happy for you, Leah."

She placed her hand on my knee and gently squeezed. "We will be okay, Jacob. And I'll be the first one to dance at your wedding." She kissed my cheek. "Trust me on this one."

Bella

I enter the garage just in time to see Leah kiss Jacob on the cheek. I knew their friendship had grown while they were in Vancouver so that didn't bother me. I guess most girls would be jealous, but I saw the way Leah looked at Edward and I knew were my place was with Jacob. She stood up and walked over to me.

"Congrats's." She said walking past me.

I stood starring at Jacob. "Thanks."

When she was completely gone, I walked over and took a seat next to Jake, taking his hand into mine. "Things just can't be easy for us can they?"

"I suppose that life wouldn't be fun if they weren't some risk to be taken." He joked, nodding towards the two bikes in the corner of the garage beneath a blanket.

He leaned back in the seat, pulling me close to him. I played with the pocket on his t-shirt. "Jake,…"

"Yeah."

"If they fight, then so are you, aren't you?"

He was silent. I laid with my head against his chest, listen to the strong sound of his heart beating. "Yes."

I knew the answer to that question before I had even asked it. He wouldn't abandon any of his brothers, both werewolf and vampire. "Why? Why can't we just run away? Then maybe the Volturi won't come."

"They will come, Bella. Running away never solves anything. I learned that first hand. Besides, we will come up with some way to beat those old farts and then everything will be perfect."

"Then you'll stop phasing."

"Yes." He stroked the back of my hair. "Then we will get married and raise a family, the normal way."

I smiled, remembering the little russet wolf from my dream. "I saw him. I saw our son, in my dreams. He looked just like you, in both human and wolf form."

He looked down at me. "We will have all of that, Bella, I promise."

I nodded. "I know." I laid my head back on his chest.

Things just had to work out. I couldn't take not having Jacob in my life. If we had to fight the Volturi and something happened to Jacob, then I would let Jane work her magic on me. I would find away to make her powers work, so that she could kill me. Because without Jacob I wouldn't have anything to live for.
