Jacob's POV

I was walking up the Cullen's porch steps towards the front door when out of nowhere the door flew open, slamming against the wall and Halle came storming out, anger and frustration all over her face. She pushed past me when I gave her a questioning look and I went to call after her when Carlisle appeared next to me, grabbing my arm.

"What happened" I asked and Carlisle sighed, a guilty look on his face as his hand ran through his gold hair.

"I was questioning her on her family history and background and I may have pushed a little too hard, I tend to get over excited, especially with the crossing in her genes and her temper is not the best to mess with I see" He murmured and I rubbed my face. "Bella also may have said some things that set her off" He said and I wanted to punch a wall, even though Carlisle could take the blow I doubt he'd appreciate it and I liked him the most out of the Cullen's anyway, especially since he helped me get better.

"What did Bella say" I asked and he hesitated before opening his mouth.

"We were discussing the newborn army fight and Bella said how you got hurt and how she went to your house that night to cut everything off, that kind of enhanced Halle's anger and she lashed back" He said, struggling to explain, I can tell he doesn't like friends and family fighting, especially bringing up the bad memories of the past.

"As Carlisle is to kind to say Halle said and I quote 'you're a heartless and hurtful bitch and if you ever hurt my Jacob again I will rip your head off and bury it'" Edward informed me at the door and I blinked in shock.

"She said that" I asked, dumbfounded and Edward shrugged.

"More or less, that was the main thing I got out of her shoutings, I had to take Bella away then before she exploded" Edward murmured, obviously he wasn't happy about Halle threatening Bella like she had. I looked towards the forest where Halle disappeared, she was defiantly blowing of steam.

"She also told us about the new pack in town, we will remain mannerly as long as they don't attack us" Carlisle explained and I nodded over at him.

"Thanks, I better go get Hal under control before she destroys the forest, thanks Carlisle, Edward" I said before walking off into the tree's where I last saw Halle. She had gotten quite far in I thought as I finally found her, wolf form, pacing around a small creek. I'd seen the shredded remains of her clothes back at the beginning and knew she wouldn't change back without clothes unless necessary. I pulled my shirt off and put in on a rock close to her then turned around as I waited for her to change. She understood perfectly because I heard the whoosh of her changing back to human form and then the sound of her shrugging into the shirt. I turned around and had to force my eyes to stay on her face and not look at all that exposed leg of hers or the way my shirt hung on her body. She was looking at the ground angrily before she met my eyes, ready to take whatever I threw at her.

"I'm sorry" She said and I raised an eyebrow in question, why was she apologising. She continued to talk when she caught my confusion. "I shouldn't have threatened her like I did, I don't usually lose my temper like that but I was just sick of it, all I ever hear about when it involves you and her, is her hurting you, her causing you pain and it's her fault you suffered, I know you loved or still love her but it just pissed me off at how she can continuously do that to you, you're a good person Jake, you don't deserve any of that bad stuff that's happened to you, if it was me in her shoes I would never hurt you" She said, her voice getting to a whisper near the end as she stared at the small creek, running past her feet. I knew she was waiting for me to say something, to yell at her but honestly all I could think about was how she had said to Bella that I was her Jacob and how she would hurt her if she messed with me again.

"Thank you" Were the words that ended up leaving my mouth. This time it was her giving me the look of confusion. "You stood up for me, not many people take my side, except the pack you know and she chose the better man I guess, if you could call him that" I shrugged and she shook her head.

"Edward's nice and all Jake but she definitely did not choose the better man" She said and then a blush crept on her cheeks after realisation of what she said hit her. I couldn't help the small smile that pulled at my mouth. She shuffled awkwardly now. "Uh we better get back, before the wolves descend and come searching for their alpha" She murmured as she walked past me, eager to escape after her words.

"Sure, sure" I said as I followed her out of the forest, the sky dark now and the nightlife creeping around us, cautious and wary. We got to my truck and she looked back at the house one more time before getting in, as if it was the last time she'd see it, I was guessing she didn't plan on coming here for a long time, I didn't expect her to either, she'd want to keep her distance from Bella now. We drove back to Emily's silently and as I turned the car off she looked over at me finally after I pulled a spare shirt over my head which I had lying around in the truck.

"I'm gunna go straight to the spare room so I can go get changed, I'm sure if I walked in naked with just your shirt I'd never hear the last of it from the pack" She said and I nodded as she slid out of the car, holding the shirt down tightly against her now, trying to reveal less I assume. When I walked inside Sam looked at me to confirm I was okay and I nodded over at him, letting him know I was good.

"Jake have you seen Halle, I can't find her anywhere" Leah asked, approaching me with Jamie in tow. He was definitely hooked on her now.

"She's in the spare room" I said and she raised an eyebrow.

"No she's not, I looked in there about five minutes ago" She said and I shrugged.

"She's in there now, getting changed" I said and a smile went across her face although I'd say it was more of a smirk.

"She was with you huh" She questioned and I nodded.

"She was but we were at the Cullen's, telling them about Jamie and Marcus" I informed her as she continued to smirk at me, a disbelieving look in her eyes.

"Uh-uh, Oh you're dad was looking for you" She said before heading towards the back of the house to interrogate Halle I'm guessing. As I went to look for my dad Jamie grabbed my arm before leaning closer to me so we wouldn't be heard over the noise and wolf ears.

"I don't know if something's going on between you and Hal or not but don't hurt her okay, she's been through too much to have a broken heart to" He said and I met his eyes.

"Nothing's going on man and for the record, I would never hurt her" I reassured and he nodded, giving me a small smile before walking off. I found dad out the back near the fire, just watching the flames dance around dangerously.

"Jacob" My dad nodded and I grabbed a beer for both of us and sat down next to him.

"Leah said you were looking for me, what's up" I asked after taking a sip of the cold drink. I suppose that was an advantage and disadvantage all on its own when we drink, how we never get drunk, our heat burns it off before we get to intoxicated, we have to drink a hell of a lot to get even tipsy, we tried it out on Quil once. I glanced over at Emily, her belly was sticking out a fair bit now, the wolf pregnancy was a fair bit quicker than a normal pregnancy and she grew bigger quicker, the baby developing faster.

"Charlie called, wants to know when you're going to make an appearance and visit him" He said and I sighed.

"Next fishing trips this weekend, I'll see him then won't I" I said and he looked over at me.

"You really like her don't you" He said and I frowned. He wasn't talking about Bella was he? "I haven't seen you smile or laugh like you have in the last couple of weeks in a long time, weird how a girl can do that to you hey son" He smiled and I studied him closely.

"I have no idea what you're talking about" I said, turning to look at the fire.

"Halle, Jake, you like Halle and I'm sure she likes you as well, why not give it a chance" He said and I picked up a small stick, spinning it in my fingers. The pack I understand with the pushing and teasing but my own father, this is crazy.

"She's a pack mate dad, a really good friend of mine, nothing else" I said and he grunted.

"Yeah right now she's that but son, I've seen you on the crappiest days where you're tired, hungry and angry all at the same time and Halle shows up, hell she could even be teasing you and you still manage to smile and laugh around her despite your mood" He said, his voice confident and full of knowledge.

"It's been just under seven weeks dad" I muttered and he smiled.

"Plenty of time to fall in love or develop certain feelings" He winked and I frowned, shaking my head. I didn't like Halle in that way, I mean I knew she was beautiful and she was probably one of the best 'girl' friends I had ever had and she made me happy and sure maybe I got jealous that the Marcus guy was flirting with her and checking her out but could you blame me, alpha instincts could do that couldn't they...or maybe I was falling for Halle, I mean I dreamed about her in my shirt, in my bed, kissing me...yep I was definitely feeling some attraction but I doubt she thought or dreamt about me at all. I found her, changed into just a pair of track pants and an old shirt, not mine of course but even like that she looked beautiful, she was talking to Leah, I'm guessing she was trying to defend us from before with that look of annoyance on her face and even then she was sexy.

"I love Bella Jacob, but Halle I'd be proud to have as a future daughter in law" Dad said before wheeling off. Stupid old man, he'd be happy to have a monkey as a daughter in law as long as I was happy.

"Jake, you okay man, you're in a trance there" Embry's voice slid through my thoughts and I registered the hand waving hazardously in front of my face.

"Sorry man, I was just thinking, lost myself there" I apologised and he shrugged.

"Hey, a little birdie, well Leah, told me you got a little jealous when Marcus tried to woo your girl, I'll admit he is a creep but I've got a weird feeling about him so just be careful yeah, he has that guard thing like Halle has so when we ran over here we couldn't hear a peep, Halle was a little freaked out by that too but just be careful" He shrugged, patting my back as he grabbed my beer and took a swig.

"Thanks for the heads up" I muttered and he winked.

"Just looking out for you man" He said before Quil called him over to watch him chug down three beers straight. My best friends were idiots and they stole my drink.

An hour or so later everyone started to drift off and once everything was pretty much packed up I called out to Halle, Sue and her niece Julia and dad, telling them I was ready. We all got in the car, Sue and Dad talking away in the backseat as Halle leaned back against her chair, her eyes drooping, fighting to stay open. She looked dead on her feet and I knew exactly how she felt, hell I wish I was asleep right now. We dropped Sue and Julia home first since Seth had patrol and Leah wanted to stay at Emily's a little longer with Jamie and Sue claimed she was tired. By the time we had dropped Sue and Julia off Halle's eyes didn't reopen and her face was peaceful in a sleep. I pulled up at home and helped Dad out of the car first before I looked at Halle.

"Carry her in, she's tired and I doubt she'll be happy if she does get woken up, she hasn't been sleeping well Emily told me" Dad said and I nodded, opening her door, unbuckling her belt and picking her up as jerk free as I could without waking her. She moved a little and for a second I thought she was gunna wake up when instead she snuggled into my chest, her breathing slowing and getting even deeper. It was weird how light and how perfectly she fit into my arms. I had carried Bella before but Halle was completely different, she felt...better there. Dad closed the door for me and then wheeled ahead to open the front door. I headed straight towards my room and layed her in my bed, pulling the covers over her before heading back out to see if dad needed any help. I found him in his room, getting ready for bed.

"Rach will be home soon and Embry told his mother he was crashing here so he'll have the couch, it will just be them coming in if you hear anything" Dad informed and I nodded.

"Alright, night dad" I said and he smiled.

"Night son" He nodded back and I headed back to my room and had a quick shower before sliding into the warm, Halle occupied bed. I pulled the covers over me and we fit perfectly into the bed, both of us just slightly in the middle, our sides touching. I closed my eyes, getting comfortable, putting an arm behind my head when Halle moved suddenly and rolled, curling into my side. I smiled, happy to just stay as we were while I fell asleep, not really caring the questions I get in the morning or the teasing words if the guys found out.

Definately Nawwww worthy!, Were getting closer and closer and by the looks of it so are Halle and Jake ;) haha, i hope you enjoyed this chapter, i rewrote it about fifty times due to writers block, any ideas for the story are welcome and keep those reviews coming.
