An exhausted Jacob found himself in front of the house, he had left hours ago, facing the owners. An eerie silences fell between the two. "Is Lythian here?" the question broke the silence.
"I'm afraid he isn't. But I think a better question would be what is a young man like yourself doing outside this late in the night?" Carlisle asked.
Saddness overtook Jacob. Even though he didn't care for the tribe anymore it still hurt to be kicked out of the place you called home. With a lump in his throat he answered, "I, uh, I was kicked out of my home by the elders."
Complete shock came to their faces. Esme thought she might go into tears, when Danial's words came to her. Jacob may not be a member of her family, but she wasn't about to let him go this late at night. She made her way to Jacob bringing him into a hug, knowing he was being strong, but inside he was in pain. This move shocked the rest of them. Letting go of him Esme spoke, "Come on in Jacob you must be exhausted." Before Jacob could turn down her offer Esme held her hand up. "I won't take no for an answer. Besides I think its best that you stay here, don't you think so Carlisle?" Esme turned to her husband.
"That's right. Come on in Jacob there is something you have to know."
As they all gather in the still messy living room Carlisle began to explain to Jacob. "...and according to Lythian the strength a vampire gets combine with Danial's powers would be very difficult for us to restrain Danial, if she would unexpectedly attack. They decided to take her home where it would be better for her."
It took time for the information to sink in. So many shock in one day it's a wonder he hasn't gotten a headache. "Jacob, if you don't mind me asked why did the elders of your tribe kicked you out." Esme asked.
Not looking into her eyes Jacob hung his head. Edward. Looking up Jacob answered her, "I don't want to talk about that right now, if you don't mind."
She nodded understanding him. Edward on the other hand had heard his name in Jacob's thoughts. "We need to find you someplace to sleep." Esme broke the silence.
"I'm taking the guest room on account my room was used to get them back and there is still blood in the bed." Rosalie informed.
All heads turned to her in confusion. "Why would you use the guest room you don't need sleep?" Edward asked.
"For your information I for once am tired from tonights evens. And I thought that resting and use that sleep mode you do from time to time would be great for tonight. I think we all need it." Rosalie said getting up and disappearing up stairs shortly follow by Emmett.
"Don't mine Rosalie to much. Now where can you stay?" Esme went into deep thought.
"He could stay in my room." Edward offer. "I'm not tried so he could stay in my bed tonight."
"That's very kind of you to offer Edward. Jacob do you mind using Edwards room?" Carlisle asked. Not trusting his voice Jacob only shook his head.
"Edward show Jacob to your room. I think the rest of us should go to your room and get some rest, like Rosalie suggested." Esme said getting up from the couch followed by Carlisle, Alice and Jasper.
"Come on I'll show you my room." Edward got up and hurried Jacob up the stairs.
Jacob was let speechless upon entering Edward's room. Wow. Was Jacob's first reaction to the huge room. "You like it?" Edward wrap his arms round Jacob's waist.
Yeah it awesome. "I like it when you talk to me in your thoughts." Edward smiled turning Jacob around bringing him into a passionate kiss. Putting all the love he felt for him into it.
After a few moments they separated, but not letting go of each other. Jacob unleash the tears he had being holding back. Edward just kept on hugging him bringing whatever comfort he could. "Jacob, love what happen? Why did they do this to you?"
Bringing Jacob to the bed Edward whipped the tears that were still coming down his eyes. "The elders some how found out about you and me in the woods earlier today."
"What? How? Who told them? Oh, Jacob I'm so sorry." Edward quickly brought him close.
"Don't be." Jacob said looking up at Edward. "The elders wanted me to forget about you. And when I told them no they expelled me. But I don't care, because I love you."
"I love you as well more them you know. I just wish it wouldn't have to cause you this much trouble." Edward said kissing Jacob on the lips.
"It doesn't matter now. As long as I know you love me."
"More then life itself." Edward brought Jacob more closer. "You must be exhausted, come on get some sleep."
"Would it be okay if I take a shower first?"
"Of course, the bathroom is down the hall." Getting his bag Jacob made his way to the bathroom crossing Alice's room.
-------------
Inside her room Alice was shocked from what she heard. She was the only one "awake" that could have heard them. Edward and Jacob? Well that explains where they disappeared to. Jacob must be having it rough being expel from his home. Still I'm happy for them both, but how will the rest of the family take it, she thought. Over the years she had learned how to keep her mind from being read. Making it easy to think without being heard by Edward. But does it really matter? Well to me not as long as my brothers happy. With this she went to "sleep" probably the first time in many months.
-------------
Jacob finally enter the room. He didn't expect Edward to pick him up as he entered. Which made Jacob let out a small yelp. "God, Edward you scared me." Jacob whisper not wanting to be heard by the others.
Edward only chuckled. Taking Jacob to the bed making sure he got well covered, it could get cold in this time of year, even for a newly werewolf. Settling beside him Edward brought Jacob close gently running his hand through his hair. It was soothing and within minutes Jacob was fast asleep, but not before whispering an I love you to Edward. Who kissed him very gently "Love you too." Edward said before going to his own way of sleep.
*Three days later*
It could be said that "sleeping" next to Jacob's warm body was the best sleep Edward had gotten in years. Waking up was just as good. The same can be said about Jacob. Slowly opening his eyes and coming face to face with Edwards beautiful face. "Sleep well?" Edward asked with a kiss on the lips. Sleepily Jacob nodded not wanting to get up just yet.
This day everyone had decided to let Jacob say until the three days were over. Rosalie's room was cleaned for her to move back in it, leaving the guest room to Jacob. Making Edward unhappy, but not stopping him from sneaking into Jacob's room at night. The three days when by fast, much too fast for the liking of Edward and Jacob.
----
"The three day process should end about midnight tonight." Carlisle told her. Carlisle and Esme were in the living room deciding what to do.
"Carlisle you can't blame yourself for this. You heard what she said, this wasn't your fault." Esme tried to comfort him, but seeing it was not working.
"I know, but I can't help but be responsible of what happened. While we were in the Astral Plane, if you could have heard how she tried to hold back her cries of pain." Carlisle's eyes took a look of distance. "Remember when I told of the girl that I met when I just becoming a vampire." "Yeah."
"She was her. That girl is Danial."
"How?"
"I don't know, but when she reminded me of the promise I made to her the memories just came flying back to me. I even remember her name, Christina."
"That's a lovely name. But how is it that shes here now?"
"Like I said she never got to tell me. Maybe tomorrow we'll find out."
------
Very early the next morning Jacob awoke with a sickening feeling in his stomach. Feeling the need to throw up he dash to the bathroom wakening Edward in the process. Not wasting a second Edward went after him, but found the door to the bathroom locked. "Jacob open the door," all Edward got was the sound of Jacob throwing up. "Jacob come on open the door."
Not waiting any longer Edward forced the door open, which alerted everyone downstairs. Once open he saw that Jacob sat in front of the toilet looking pale. "Are you all right?" Edward asked making his way to Jacobs side.
All Jacob did was throw up some more. Edward could do nothing except hold his hair back and rub his back. "What's going on?" Alice appeared in the door way. Everyone else appeared behind her.
"I don't know." Edward said looking very concerned about Jacob. Who seem to have puke all his guts out.
"Jacob, are you alright?" Esme said making her way to his side.
He only shook his head. Edward I don't feel so well. I'm feel very weak. "Don't worry Jacob, we'll get Carlisle to look at you." Jacob nodded.
"Dear God Jacob your very pale." Esme said bringing a cold hand to his forehead making him shiver.
"Well, that's plain to see." Rosalies remarked.
"Rosalie don't start that right now, can't you see this isn't the time." Carlisle frowned at his daughter.
Making his way to stand, with Edwards help, Jacob suddenly felt very dizzy. Not being able to hold his footing Jacob fainted. Edward reacted in time to catch him. "Jacob!" Esme shouted.
"Edward take him to the car and get him to the hospital. There I can see what's wrong with him." Carlisle commanded.
Picking Jacob up Edward notice that he felt lighter. Damn it what the hell is going on around here. Edward quickly made his way to the front door where his Volver was.
"Carlisle, do you think its that bad?" Esme asked following her husband and son, also followed by Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper and Alice.
"He's much too pale and for him to have fainted something has to be seriously wrong. He's also a werewolf how often does a werewolf faint out of the blue." he informed her. "Esme stay here with the rest in case Lythian comes to inform us about Danials." Esme nodded.
Quickly getting Jacob in his Volvo Edward speed to the hospital. Carlisle close behind him in his Mercedes. Don't worry Jacob Carlisle will find out what's wrong with you. Edward glance at Jacob. In a matter of minutes they were at the hospital. Edward hurried in with Jacob in his armes. Carlisle ahead of him. "Dr. Cullen." a surprise nurse called.
"Nurse! Get a room ready! I want his heart monitor and a stats report on his health, quickly! " Carlisle commanded.
"Carlisle, he is going to be fine right?" Edward asked getting more nervous by the second. He was sure if his hearts still had a beat it would be going 100 beats per second.
"I'm not sure. The other day I started to see some changes on his features. His refusal to eat only got me more suspicious. Now him fainting, there has to be something very wrong with him." Carlisle explain as he and a nurse were busy checking Jacob.
That did nothing to help Edward. Please, whatever this is don't let it be fatal. I can't lose him. Please! For about two hours exams were done on Jacob, every kind was done to him. Blood was also taking to have some test done on it. Finally Carlisle stopped to look at the still unconsciousness Jacob. "Carlisle?" Edward asked taking a step towards him.
"I don't get it he seems to be fine. I can't find any symptoms of any kind of illness." Carlisle frowned. For the first time, in many years, he was clueless of what was wrong with a patient. But Jacob is no ordinary patient. So that means I have to think out of the ordinary to find out what's wrong with him. Lets see what do I know? He has lost of appetite, tiredness, throwing up. If I didn't know better I would say his-- "Carlisle, what is it?" Edward interrupted his thoughts
Carlisle sat down on the chair next to Jacob looking at him and taking a glimpse at the monitor. He seem stable his heart rate normal, temperature at 98.8 degrees, normal and blood pressure normal. This is all wrong.
It wasn't until much later that Jacob showed any signed of waking up. Edward was at his side immediately. "Jacob, how do you feel?" he asked hands a little shaking, forgetting that Carlisle was in the other side of the bed.
"Tired." came his weak voice.
Carlisle watch in amazed how his son held Jacob's hand with cared and if he was correct there was love in his eyes for the young boy. Carlisle smile and stood from the chaired. "Well, it seems you two have taking a liking to each other."
Jacob's eyes widen looking to his left and seeing Carlisle. Taking a better look at his surroundings he notice that he wasn't in his room. "Where am I?"
Edward only smile kissing him in the temple, not caring if Carlisle was there to see them. Jacob was awake and looking a bit better then he was. Carlisle smiled taking in the picture the two made. "Mind telling me when this happened? Not that I'm mad just curious."
Taking a deep breath Edward told him of their first encounter, which was awkward, and of his growing feelings for Jacob. On his part Jacob told Carlise of the elders and how they wanted him to forget about Edward and the love he felt for him. "I refuse and shouted to them that not even for the pack would I forget the love I felt for Edward."
"So, that's why they exile you form the pack." Jacob only nodded. Carlisle when into deep thought If they have had sexual relationships then there is a possibility he could be...but then how could that be possible. "Jacob I'm going to take some more blood to have a special test done on it, okay."
Jacob nodded, "That's fine with me, but if you don't mine me asking why bring me to a hospital?"
"What do you mean why? You fainted after nearly puking all your guts out. You scared me to death I thought something fatal was wrong with you." Edward frowned bringing Jacob close to him no signed of letting go.
"Edward if you don't minded." Carlisle asked with needle in hand.
Edward stepped aside to let Carlisle do his job, but quickly coming back to Jacob when he was done. "Can I go now?" Jacob asked not liking being in a hospital.
"Sure. The result should be here in about an hour. I'll see you when I get the results." Carlisle left the room taking the blood to the lab.
A nurse came in happy to see that Jacob was alright, "Glad you're alright. Lets get these things off you then you can leave."
In five minutes Jacob and Edward were out of the hospital and heading home. "You heard what the nurse said lots of bed rest and eating again."
"Oh, don't talk to me about food that only makes my stomach uneasy."
"Uneasy or not you are eating something. I'm don't want to see you go through that again, and me not being able to do anything for you."
"You won't have to, okay."
As said the moment they got inside the house Jacob was taking to his room and put on bed rest. He would have had a fighting chance to not be, if Esme and Edward hadn't gain up on him about the importance of health. Now he found himself in the guest room with Edward by his side, who was not letting him out of bed for anything. Sighs Edward, this sucks I'm bored.
"Sorry love, but you are going to have to stay here until Carlisle comes back and tells us it's okay for you to leave bed."
Jacob only pouted making Edward chuckled. At that exact moment Esme came in to check on them. Stopping at the door she smile. "Ahem."
Edward and Jacob parted looking at the door. "I'm glad that you to have grown a liking to each other." she said making Jacob blush.
Edward only smile at him. Turning to his mother Edward asked, "How did you know about us?"
Coming in and sitting at the chair beside Jacob she answered, "Oh, that. Well I had suspicions when you came home smelling strange. Then the day Jacob came here with Danial I recognized the smell. Your disappears also gave more clues to it. What finally gave it away was this morning when you sounded so worry about Jacob, and the way you were comforting him. Which I thought was very sweet. Only one question is on my mind, why didn't you ever tell us?"
Edward stayed silent finally he spoke."I, um, was afraid that you all would not approve. Which would have let me no other choice but to leave with Jacob." at this Jacob's eyes widen.
"What? You would have left with me? To where?" he asked
"Anywhere as long as I had you with me." Edward said kissing Jacob's hand.
"Oh, Edward we would have understand. We don't hold a grudge against Jacob or his people."
"You don't?" Jacob asked
"No. If you look at it one way, why is it that there is a hatred between vampires and werewolf? They have never done anything wrong to us." Except that one time, but that doesn't count. At least according to Edward.
"Thank you, you are very kind to not hate what I am."
"You are like any other person in my eyes." Esme smiled at him. She already loved him like a son.
Edward was glad that at least Carlisle and Esme approve of Jacob and him, all that was left were his brothers and sisters. "Hey, you're here." Emmett announce coming in the room followed by the rest.
"Jacob, how are you feeling?" Alice asked taking a seat on the foot of the bed.
"Glad to see you're better, mutt" Rosalie smiled knowing that Jacob knew she meant it as a joke.
"I feel fine."
"Rosalie, please don't call him that." Esme asked
"I was just joking with him. So Edward, when were you going to tell us you and Jacob were lovers? " Rosalie smiled
"How did you know about that?" Edward asked Is it that obvious?
"Alice told us." all eyes turned to Alice.
"Well, you know me. I couldn't keep it secret anymore, not after what happen this morning."
"And how did you find out?" Edward was curious to know.
"I heard you and Jacob the night he stayed here. I was probably the only one not 'asleep'." she answered.
"Why am I not surprise."
Now that everyone knew about the two both felt a lot more comfortable being near each other. Things were good Jacob manage to get Edward to let him out of bed. Before long he and Edward were in the living room resting until Carlisle came with Jacobs test result. "Hey, how was work?" Esme asked him with a smile on her face. But soon that smile faded upon seeing the look Carlisle had.
"Carlisle, what's wrong?"
Not answering her he made his way to the living room stopping in front of Jacob and Edward. "Carlisle what's wrong." Edward asked as he also saw his face.
"I got the results for the blood test I took from Jacob, and to be honest I have not idea how this could have happened." Edward soon became very worried for Jacobs well being.
"What is it?" Jacob finally asked his heart pounding.
Carlisle open his mouth to speak but nothing came out. After many failed tries to speak Jacob was becoming tried of it, "Carlisle, please just come out with it." he plead
"Your pregnant."
