For: Diane Tant Daniel
Prompt: A peaceful video of First Beach at La Push
Pairing: Bella/Jacob
"I knew I'd find you here Swan."
Bella didn't even bother to brush away her tears. There was never any hiding from Jake.
"Oh yeah, how did you know?"
He sat down beside her on the driftwood log and pulled her close.
"Pfft. This is your happy place. And your sad place."
Bella gave a little snort-laugh.
"It's also your mad place, your: I've got my period place, your: Jake is being an asshole place - need I go on? If I'm guessing right it is currently your: oh fuck, Jake knocked me up, place."
"Don't joke." But she couldn't help but let out another laugh – even if it was just a tiny one.
"So, does this mean you will finally marry me?"
"Jake, you know why I don't think that is a good idea."
"Sure I do. You think that I should marry within the tribe. You say that by marrying you I will be losing part of my culture but I ask you this..." and then he spoke the language of the Quileute tribe.
Bella responded in the same language.
"See! You love me and you know just as much about my culture as I do – probably more since you are so smart and remember everything. We've been together since we were 15 years old – that's 10 years Bella! Do you honestly think I could just walk away and marry someone else because you are worried about my people. The amount you worry just proves that you belong with us."
Bella looked at him, this man who she has loved since he was a boy. Her best friend. Her lover. He was right of course. He was always right.
"This baby is a sign Bella. It means it's finally time for you to stop worrying so much and make a home with me. Everyone loves you."
"Except Leah."
"Oh Leah loves you, she just wishes you played for her team."
That made Bella laugh, mostly because it was true - Leah was always flirting with her.
"There's my girl." Jake said as he pulled Bella close. He knew she was wary but he also knew that she was happiest right here on First Beach and she was happiest with him.
"Besides if you are really worried about my tribe dying out there is only one thing to do."
"Oh, what's that?"
"Have lots of babies with me. Lots of tanned skin half-Quileute, half-Swan babies and raise them right here. You and me babe – we can create a tribe of our own." Jake waggled his eyebrows at her.
She laughed and pushed him away. "You're such a dog."
"Yeah, but I'm your dog." He nipped her gently on the ear.
"Say it. Say you will marry me Bella. Billy and Charlie will be so happy to be grandpas together - everything is going to be great."
"Of course I will marry you Jake – right here on this beach."
A/N: You ladies and your reviews! My heart is full. I'm at the hospital for half the day (usual cancer stuff, nothing to worry about) and don't have the next story ready yet but I'm gonna try. If you've got prompts/plot bunnies send them my way.
Edited: I am also not usually a fan of Bella and Jacob pairings but this is what came to me and this is what you get. I'm trying to branch out a bit.
