I don't own 'Twilight'

Chapter 7

James POV

Ever since I had dinner on Sunday with her, my thoughts have become consumed with Bella. I even went as far as sending her chocolate from Godiva to her job, expecting to hear back from her, but it's already Thursday, and I haven't heard a damn thing from her.

I'm sitting in the living room at Kate's house, on her ratty ass couch, flipping through the channels. It's before noon, so all that's on is daytime talk shows, and fucking infomercials. I groan and toss the remote on the couch and stand up, and walk into the kitchen. I pass my cell phone on the counter, and I watch it, willing it to ring and for it to be Bella. I walk to the fridge, grab a beer, and walk back out, all without interruption from the phone.

Ever since Sunday night, I haven't heard from Jacob either, but maybe that has something to do with the fact that I blocked all collect calls from coming in. that fucking asshole thought that I would be his little bitch messenger boy for him, getting all of the information about his ex wife, helping him get her. I had every intention of actually helping him the whole way, but after seeing her, I knew that I couldn't turn her over to him.

I look over at my phone once more, and internally say 'Fuck it'. I pick it up, and scroll through my contact list and quickly press send when I come up to her name.

Her phone rings a couple of times before she answers.

"Hello?" she says, he voice just as angelic as ever

"Hey Bella, its James." I say and wait for her response

"Oh hi James!! Sorry I haven't called and thanked you for the chocolate, I've just been really busy trying to get into routine and stuff"

So she wasn't ignoring me.

"I understand, and you're welcome." I say smiling into the phone. "So, what are you doing this weekend? Any plans?"

"Umm not really. Why, what do you have in mind?" she asks, and I throw my hands up in the air, silently praising whoever the fuck is making this possible.

"I don't know. Maybe we could hang out or something"

"Sure. Bring some movies and we can invite everyone over for some popcorn and stuff" my smile fades as I realize that it won't be just us.

Well what did you expect?

"Sure that sounds great. I don't know where you live though…" I say, and she chuckles and tells me her address and gives some basic instructions on how to get there.

"I'll see you then, James" she says, and I thank her and end the call.

I clutch the phone in my hands, and pump both fists in the air. This could qualify as a date right? Well, if bitch ass Masen isn't there it could be, but it's his fucking house….

I shake the thoughts out of my head, and put the phone down on the arm of the couch and walk into Kate's bedroom, quickly grabbing the wad of cash she keeps for emergencies. I take $400 and stuff it into my back pocket and I walk out of the room, and out the front door.

I need to look good for Saturday, so that means more clothes… Thank you Kate.

Jacob POV

I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is not accepting calls at this time

I slam the phone down in its cradle, while yelling out a string of profanities.

This fucking asshole blocked me. After all we've been through, I ask him for help and he fucks me over like this.

The walk back to my cell is long, I take my time, ignoring all of the vulgar calls from the other inmates about my 'tight ass' and when I finally get to my cell, I plop down on my bed.

I run my hands through my hair, and curse again. James is going to try to take her from me. He said she never belonged to me, and now he's trying to get her all for himself.

I can't let that shit happen.

I hear footsteps outside in the hallway, and I look up just in time to see the guard stop right in front of my door.

"Black. You got a visitor..." he says, and tells me to turn around as he grabs handcuffs from his belt. The feel of the cold metal cuffs closing on my wrists is something you get tired of the first time it happens, and I've had it done to me numerous times.

He turns me around roughly, pushing me in front of him, while he holds on to my fastened hands. We stop at 2 gates where he has to slide his card and wait for the metal doors to squeal open.

We finally get into the visitation room, a big, glassed in room filled with metal picnic table-like things, and only one door to get in and out. I see my lawyer that James got for me, sitting at a table in the middle, glasses on and briefcase up on the table top. He's tapping his fingers nervously on the briefcase, and once he sees me being led into the room, his tapping accelerates.

The guard leads me to the table and pushes me down into the seat, causing me to bang my knees on the side of the table. I groan out as the pain hits me and I can hear him laughing behind me. I look back at him and my eyes rest on his name tag, E. Yorkie it says, and I seal that name in my memory.

I look up into the face of the lawyer, who right now is looking paler than a fucking ghost.

"Mr. Black. I need to make this quick." he says, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath through his nose and exhaling slowly. He opens his eyes again and finally spits out what he's been so nervous about.

"I'm not going to be able to represent you any longer" he says, and my blood fucking begins to boil.

"WHAT? WHY THE FUCK NOT??" I yell at him, leaning forward on the table.

He looks flustered, and he jumps when I start to yell. He raises his hand up to his hair, and runs his hand through it.

"Umm I just can't. I'm sorry. There's nothing I can do for you… they'll give you a lawyer though if you need one..." he says, grabbing the handle of his briefcase and pulling it up and into his lap, preparing himself to get up.

"FUCKING JAMES!!! HE DID THIS DIDN"T HE?" I yell, and he stands up quickly and begins to walk away, but I'm fucking pissed, and I'm fast. I jump up from the table and land right behind him. I bring my leg up and swiftly kick him in the back on the knee, sending him falling to the floor. He lets out a yell, muffled by the floor since he landed face first into it.

The guards rush to me, before I can stomp on his fucking head and they haul me away.

"This isn't over, I'll find you mother fucker. I'll find you and I'll fucking kill you" I yell as I'm dragged out of the room, roughly by the same jackass that brought me to the room. He has his hand wrapped around my upper arm, digging into my flesh with his filthy fucking nails, and after passing the two gates we passed before, we make it back to my cell.

He pushes me in, sending me flying to the wall at the other end of the door, before tripping me. I fall, hitting my head on the side of the damn bed and I can hear his laughter ringing out through the room.

I'm feeling lightheaded from the hit, but he does nothing to help me. He takes off my cuff, and quickly shuts the door on me, leaving me there on the ground. I feel myself teetering in and out of consciousness, the pain in my head becoming overwhelming.

I'll fucking get them all….

Chapter 8

EPOV

I take my time in the store, not even wanting to be here in the first place.

James is coming over tonight, as is Rose, Emmett, Jazz and Alice, and we're watching movies. Bella sent me here to grab some snacks and shit to feed everyone, but I am really not in the mood to be here. James is an Okay guy, I guess, but he called Bella on Thursday, even though he has my number, as well as everyone else's, but he chooses to call Bella.

I would never have considered myself a jealous man before Bella. Tanya used to flirt with guys in front of me, and I never gave a fuck, but having this guy call Bella, my wife, gets me pissed the fuck off.

I take out the list Bella wrote for me, and go over each item, making sure I have everything I was sent here for, and when I see that I do, I make my way to the checkout line.

My cell rings in my pocket as I'm in line, so I fish it out and answer after seeing that it's Bella.

"Hey. I'm in the checkout line right now." I tell her, as I wait for the lady in front of me to load her cart full onto the belt.

"I need you to pick up something else for me…" she says, and I can hear the smile in her voice.

"What do you need?" I ask her. She stays quiet for a minute, so I ask her again. After a couple of deep breaths, she finally answers me.

"Umm a pregnancy test?" she says, and my lips curve up and freeze into a shit eating grin.

"Really? You think you might be?" I whisper into the phone.

"Maybe"

I try and stay calm and collected on the outside, because inside I'm jumping up and down, yelling out a cheer for my super sperm.

"Get digital ones, and don't say anything about it to anyone. I'll test when everyone leaves tonight" she says and I agree and promise I'll keep my mouth shut. I tell her I love her and hang up, maneuvering my car around so I can go and get Bella a test. I'm excited to be getting this for her, and I'm hoping it turns out to be positive, but I'm scared over what might happen if it's not. My mind starts to wander to a year ago, when we held that positive test in our hands only to have our excitement over having another baby turn to disappointment. But I don't want to think about that now, so I make my way over to the pregnancy tests.

On the way to the aisle where they keep the things, I can't help but daydream about what our lives will be like if things go right this time. I can see Bella, round with my second baby as she plays with Lila. I imagine a little boy, with bronze hair and big brown eyes like Bella's or maybe a little a little girl exactly like Lila, playing dress up with her sister.

I'm brought out of my head once I reach the aisle and I see the friggin wall of pregnancy tests. I look over everything, and once I see the word "digital", I grab the box and hightail it to the checkout counter. The woman who was unloading her cart in front of me is now paying, so I get behind her, and start to toss my things up onto the belt. The woman behind the cash register starts ringing up my things. Her hand reaches the box with the test in it, and I blurt out that it's for my wife because she might be pregnant. She looks at me strangely, then looks at the box and shakes her head.

"You got an ovulation test…. You need a pregnancy test…" she holds a finger up motioning me to wait a minute and she picks up the intercom, calling on the overhead speakers for Andy to call her back on line 2.

Her phone rings and she picks it up….

"Andy... get me a Clearblue digital pregnancy test and bring it to my line…. Thanks" she hangs up and continues to ring my things up.

"It's Ok, a lot of men grab the wrong box" she says, with a smile once she sees the look on my face. I smile back at her, and turn to look at the door for some reason, and that's when I see Alice and Jasper walking in…

Oh shit.

I turn my head, trying to keep my face out of view from my sister and brother in law, and that's when Andy chooses to round the corner, and freaking yell….

"Hey Stacy!!! Is this the pregnancy test he needs???" he yells, and everyone in the store, including my sister and Jasper, look back at me.

"Yea!!!! Bring it up here" she says, waving him over. Alice starts to walk towards me, and lucky me, makes it right as Andy is handing the test to the cashier.

Her eyes light up as she sees Stacy ringing it up, and telling me the total, but she doesn't say anything until after I've given Stacy the money, along with a death glare, and grabbed my receipt.

"Bella thinks she's pregnant??" Alice asks, eyes all big and glassy like a cartoon characters.

"Alice. You can't say anything; Ok Bella doesn't want anyone to know, in fact, we were going to wait until everyone left tonight to test." I say, and walk around her towards the door.

"I won't say anything, then. But I am so excited!" she starts jumping up and down in place and I take that as my cue to leave. I call over my shoulder and tell them I'll see them at my place in a little bit, and walk to the car.

I finally get to my street, and when I turn the corner, I spot James' car in the driveway, 30 minutes early. I immediately am pissed off, but I grab the bags from the trunk and make my way to the door, swinging it open. The sound of their laughter flows through the house and goes straight into my ears.

I shut the door behind me and make my way into the kitchen, where James is standing next to Bella, watching her dice some tomatoes for salsa. They both look up at me, and Bella smiles, and walks over to me grabbing a bag out of my arms.

"Thank you" she says, and places a kiss on my lips, before turning back to the counter to start unloading the stuff.

"James" I say, and he nods and smiles.

"James brought that movies you wanted to see… you know, with Gerard Butler…." she says, and I put a fake smile on and thank him.

The doorbell rings and saves me from having to fake smile at James for a while, and I walk over and open it.

"Are we too early?" Emmett says, I shake my head and move out of the way so he and Rosalie can come in. They go to the kitchen and join Bella and James, and I decide to go and check on Lila.

*****

Alice and Jasper finally get here and we all filter into the living room. Lila is in bed and Alice and Jazz brought Blake's playpen, and he is sleeping peacefully in Lila's room. Alice and Jasper are sprawled out on a blanket on the floor, and Rose and Em are on the loveseat, leaving James, Bella and I to share the couch.

Bella is seated in between us, with the bowl of popcorn in her lap, watching the movie. I look at James from the corner of my eye a couple of times, and catch him looking at Bella, but when he sees me looking at him, his eyes dart back to the TV

After 2 hours of having to deal with this guy looking at my wife like she was a happy meal, the movie finally finishes. Everyone goes to leave and we promise to get together tomorrow, James however is in the corner, talking to my wife.

"James. I'm fucking exhausted, Bro. I'll see you later" I say, walking over to him and bringing my hand out to shake his. He grabs my hand and smirks at me and then leans down and gives Bella a kiss on the cheek.

"I'll call you soon, Bella" he says as he walks out the door, Bella behind him. She says bye to him, and shuts the door and locks it, and when she turns around, I'm in the hallway, watching her.

"What's wrong, Edward?" she says, walking over to me and grabbing my face in her hands.

"Why is he going to call you?" I ask her and she scoffs.

"Edward. I've told you before…. You have nothing to worry about" she says, and gets up on her toes to kiss me. "I love you"

"I love you too" I tell her, and go to turn around to start getting ready for bed. I walk into the room, relieve myself in the bathroom, and brush my teeth. Bella comes in as I'm rinsing out my mouth, and she has the box in her hand. I smile at her when I remember that she said she was going to take the test.

"Do you want to be alone?" I ask he and she shakes her head.

"I'm gonna take it, and then we have to wait 3 minutes for the results" she says, and takes the test out of the package. She does what she needs to do, and then replaces the top and sets the test down on the counter.

"Let's go wait in the room, I'm nervous" she says and I smile, and grab her hand. We walk out to the bedroom and sit side by side on the bed. I look over at the clock, and remind myself that in 3 minutes, we need to go check the test.

"What are you thinking?" she asks me. I squeeze her hand tighter and bring it up to my lips.

"I'm just thinking about how I have the most beautiful, intelligent, loving wife in the whole world, and how lucky our kids are to have you as their mother" she smiles at me.

"You say 'kids'. You think I'm pregnant?" she asks, looking up at me from beneath her lashes.

"I hope so" I bring my hands up to her face and caress her cheek.

"What if I'm not?" she whispers. Bella and I had thought she was pregnant again a year ago. She took the pregnancy test and it came out positive, and then a couple of days later she started bleeding. I rushed her to the hospital, only to have them tell me that she was going through something called a chemical pregnancy. They explained that it was a very early miscarriage, where the egg didn't implant.

Bella and I were heartbroken. We hadn't even had the chance to tell anyone about the pregnancy before it was ripped out from under us. Ever since then, Bella and I had been using condoms because she was afraid it would happen again. We only just started trying again a week before she graduated.

I look back at the clock and see that we have a minute to go. I pull Bella close to me, and kiss her forehead. We stay in each other's arms until the clock shows that 3 minutes have passed, and she goes to get up. I go to follow her but she holds her hand up.

"Please Edward…. Let me do this part by myself." I nod my head and watch as the love of my life goes into the bathroom alone, to see if our life is going to change in a big way.
