AN: Ok I know I've been lagging it a lot to update the story. But I'm starting to stay on top of it now. I had started off with a different ending in mind, but it sort of developed to something else. Some of you might be mad at me by the time I wrap the story up, but oh wells lol. Hope you enjoy this chapter and please review!

Chapter 5

Jacob lay beside me. We were still at the beach. He had fallen asleep and I just lay there next to him, my arms wrapped around him, taking in his scent. I watched the ever changing sky up above us go from black to different shades of purple and orange and finally, a clear blue. It was another rare sunny, clear day in Forks.

This was bliss. I haven't been this happy for quite awhile. Jacob then stirred within my arms and slowly opened his eyes. He kissed my forehead and smiled "Good morning love." I kissed him, my way of saying good morning.

"We should get some breakfast, I'm so hungry, oh wait you don't eat food." He started running his fingers through his hair, not sure what to say.

"Oh gosh Jacob relax I'll still go with you." So we left, hand in hand walking towards Billy's house. Billy had breakfast ready already with all sorts of food on the table. Waffles, pancakes, scrambled eggs, and some toast. I guess Billy had gotten used to being ready at all times with an arsenal of food at all times knowing full well Jacob ate like crazy. I watched as Jacob at everything in sight, chugging down all the food not bothering to really chew anything. It was funny watching him eat. I giggled like crazy.

Jacob looked up with a mouthful of scrambled eggs in his mouth "What?" I laughed even harder then "Um nothing, nothing just keep eating."

My cell phone then rang. I grabbed it from my pocket and I saw who it was from the caller ID. It was Edward. I stared down at the phone as it rang looking at the picture. It was a picture we had taken together. He had that gorgeous crooked smile that always made me melt and I just staring back with a happy expression on my face, smiling just as widely as he. And smack-dab in the middle was Renesmee. She had Edward's smile and the most beautiful sparkling eyes. I just stared at the phone, mesmerized and confused, not sure what to say to him. The phone stopped and a few seconds later it made a beeping sound. A voicemail.

Jacob just stared at me. He had finished eating and the room stood quiet. I was glad Billy had left to go early to fish with Charlie so he wouldn't witness this episode I was having.

"Are you going to check that?" Jacob knew it was Edward, nothing and no one else would create such a reaction from me. "Earth to Bella. Hello anyone there?" He waved his hands in front of my face and then snapped his fingers. He grew worried when none of these approaches worked. He shook me by the shoulders "Snap out of it Bella, just check the phone."

I flipped the phone open and called my voicemail. "You have one new message. Message sent at 7:20 AM: 'Bella where are you at? I've been trying to get a hold of you. You just disappeared. What's wrong Bella?' He sighed, I could hear the hurt and worry in his voice. 'Something's come up. Come home as soon as you can okay? I love you' I closed the phone, still silent. He knew something was up and it was time I faced the music. I still didn't know how I wanted to approach this. In one hand lay my happiness right beside Jacob, a new life. On the other lay my daughter and Edward, people whom I still loved. I knew I wanted Jacob, that much was clear, and in order to have that I would need to hurt the two people I loved the most. The disappointment and hurt they would feel was something I just had to do if I wanted to live my life with Jacob. Renesmee would hate me for taking that one part away from her and Edward would probably never forgive me for coming this far with him and then leaving him. I knew he wouldn't hate me because at the end, he always wished for my happiness and nothing more.

I had chosen my path and it was then that I told Jacob that for now we should keep things between us until I found the right time to tell Edward. So I left and ran towards my home. My family.
