IMPORTANT TO READ!
I am going to fast-forward a while so this is a month later than the last chapter. Bella has just been released from hospital, she was held back because of her blood pressure getting high again. The baby has been having some complications, but Bella and Jacob think this is more to the fact that the child's father is a werewolf rather than anything else, of course they can't tell the doctors this. Jacob is beating himself up now more than ever because of all the pain Bella is especially now the baby is having problems. Bella has some serious scarring and her left arm/shoulder is in a sling. There is a small but defined bump on her stomach as well.
Enjoy…
"Jake I am alright." I said as he led me into my kitchen. You would think I was a porcelain doll with all of the care he was taking of me, it was actually kind of annoying.
"Just let me make sure you get inside. Are you all right? Want me to get you any painkillers? A drink?"
"Jake I am pregnant, not physically handicapped."
"But you are also extremely injured, now remember what the doctors said, you can't do anything with the left side of your body pretty much. And don't have any caffeine, take care with the dairy products, no cold meat, and no seafood and make sure everything is cooked extremely well before eating it. We don't want you to get sick as well as being hurt."
"Okay, okay I will be careful." He had really big turn around with this baby; he was now looking after everything that could be taken care of.
"Bella, are you sure you want to get back to school? You could take another week off at least, no one would blame you." This was a discussion that had caused quite a bit of disagreements in-between us lately.
"Jake I need to catch up! The finals are at the end of this year and I am not going to be dropping out of school."
"Fine, but please let me drive you to and from school." Because of my left arm being practically useless I could not drive, so it was either Jacob taking me to and from school or Charlie in his police cruiser.
"Yeah Jake sure, just please don't walk me into school or anything. I am not a baby." I meant for this to be a joke, but I think he was actually hoping that he could.
"Well, I better get going, I haven't been on patrol since the accident and I think it is time I relieved the others. But there is going to be a bonfire tonight at the reservation. It is early, finishes at 6. Do you want to go?"
"Yeah sure it sounds fun. What should I wear?"
"Well it is going to be really hot with the fire and my body temperature and all, so whatever you are comfortable in, just not too long." Yeah like I was going to wear something short and let Jacob see my scars. They ran from mid thigh, up my body, up to my neck, and over my left shoulder. The scar was angry and red at the moment. But at least they were scabbed over now.
"Okay Jacob, I will see you there, wait can you pick me up?"
"Of course Bells? What did you think I was going to make you walk? I love you too much for that."
"I love you too Jake." I pulled him down to my height and gave him a peck on the lips, he was almost too tall for me to reach on my tippy toes- did he ever stop growing. I wondered if the baby was going to be as tall as Jacob. Or maybe it would get my growing genes and be super short. He left me to my own devices then.
I had nothing to do until 6, and I couldn't do any cooking or cleaning, yet. I was going to put my foot down soon and actually start doing things around the house, but since this was my first day home I decided not to push Charlie. He would be mad at me if he came home and saw that I had done things. So I settled down on the couch and decided to watch some T.V. I wasn't sure what was on, I hardly watched any T.V when I was in the hospital because of all of my visitors from the pack, from school, for Charlie and mostly from Jacob- He barely ever left. I saw that the vampire diaries was on, the name grabbing my attention I turned it on with a smile, "Lets see how accurate they are." It was a marathon of episodes but after watching 3 I started to see some similarities between Edward and Stefan. They both drunk human blood, both hated themselves, they both doted on a human and although they had their many, many differences it became to real, so I turned it off. I hadn't thought about Edward since the accident. He used to be in every thought I had, I couldn't stop thinking about him but recently he barely entered my mind. I missed him, more so than ever. I missed the way he teased me and I missed the way he always seemed to know what I was going to do although he couldn't read my mind. I missed his crooked grin and his beautiful smell. I still loved him. That thought took me off guard, no I didn't I love Jake. I was pregnant with his baby for crying out loud. I couldn't love him anyway, he wasn't coming back.
I woke up at the sound of a phone ringing; I hadn't realized I fell asleep. It was Jacob letting me know it would be 5 minutes until he picked me up and letting me know not to eat because Emily had coked up a storm. That was good because I was ravenous. I walked upstairs and changed into jeans and a loose top that covered the majority of my scars and my baby bump. But you could still see them coming out of the top, so I decided to also put on a cardigan. It took over ten minutes to get changed, one of the advantages of having one hand I guess, good thing Jacob was running late.
"Hey Honey" He said as he walked into the house, seeing me sitting in one of the kitchen chairs.
"What are you wearing? I told you it was going to be hot. Don't get me wrong you look beautiful but you are going to be too hot."
"Its fine, I am sensitive to the cold remember." I dodged the subject giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"No there is something more." He said tilting my face upwards so he could see into my eyes.
"Are you trying to hide your scars?" He asked me, emotion thick in his voice and his face crumbling.
"No." I answered too fast.
"Bella, darling. You don't have to hide them from me; I know what I did to you. I know you have been trying to cover them up."
"Its okay Jake."
"No! It is not okay! I hurt you, I know that. But don't stress about hiding what I did to you. It will only make things worse."
"Jake, we have to go, we are going to be late."
"Okay. I love you, even after all of this, I love you."
"I love you too"
