Jake was a werewolf?
I almost couldn't comprehend. Even though I had already known when I woke from my dream. It still seemed so surreal. "Bells?" I hadn't noticed Jake phasing back. "Bells, I'm sorry for hurting you." "Jake? How could you Jake!?" I was angry. "I'm sorry Bells, I never wanted to hurt you!" He looked at me with, what I could only describe as, puppy eyes. "You didn't want to hurt ME?" "No, Bells. I would never willingly hurt you." What a hypocrite, was all I could think. "What about the people Jake? The people you hurt. The people you MURDERED!" He looked as if I had slapped him in the face, no the shock in his eyes was a lot worse. "mmurderedd?" He stuttered. "Yes Jake. It's not because you're a giant wolf that you can kill people!" "I never killed anyone. Unlike someone else!" He spit those words out. "What do you mean Jake?" "Your bloodsucker, Edward Cullen." I hadn't seen that one coming."You know as well as I do that he doesn't drink human blood." I thought it would be better not to mention Edward's rebellious years. "But, if you didn't kill those people, who did?" " That redhead vampire." "Victoria!?" I couldn't believe it. "She's been trying to cross our borders a couple of times now, we don't know what she wants." Ofcourse they didn't. I swallowed. "Me." He raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean Bells?" "What I just said, she wants… me."
Victoria was after me, Jake was after Victoria. Jake was protecting me. And I had a child to protect. Victoria could kill me if she liked, but she couldn't have my baby. Suddenly it didn't matter anymore that the baby was a mere accident. The baby was not planned, and I had been angry for so long. Ofcourse it wasn't the baby's fault. But I didn't WANT to be pregnant, I didn't WANT to have a baby. Or so I thought. Edward was a vampire. I had put aside the idea of babies when I started dating him. I didn't need a baby as long as I had Edward. But Edward was gone now. Loving Jake didn't really change my idea on babies. Maybe it would someday, right now I was eighteen, I was too young. Jake was too young. We couldn't possibly be good parents, could we? But facing the possible loss of my child made me realise, I don't want to lose my baby. I love that little human inside me. Or werewolf, I added to the thought, smiling.
[The end of her memory. The story goes on from where I left off at the middle of Chapter 2. She had just chased away Jake while she was lying in the sun. She had dinner with Charlie and headed in he shower.]
Yes, that was only a month ago. I was still avoiding Jake. I was still avoiding everyone. Pregnancy was hard on me. I was five months along, it got harder to keep it hidden. I had gained so much weight. Luckily people seemed to think that I was getting on the mend. That I was trying to get my weight back that I had lost in the first half-year of Edward's absence. Nobody seemed to notice, that I weighed more now than every other time in my life, so far. The tears, the ones I cried for hurting Jake, dried up. I came out of the shower. My skin was all wrinkly from standing under the pouring water for so long. I had forgotten my book and blanket downstairs. I got dressed and ran down the stairs. About halfway down I missed a step. I fell hard. I was so scared. My back and my stomach were killing me. I screamed.
Charlie hurried over as soon as he heard me fall. He saw I was deeply in pain. "Bells, what are you doing?" "Not… the.. time, dad." I had to gasp for breath between words. Something was very wrong. " I'll get you to your room." That wouldn't do, I felt something warm in my panties. I was bleeding. There was no way back now. "Dad.. hospital…" He looked at me as if I was speaking Chinese. I had fallen down these stairs so often, never had I needed a trip to the hospital, at least not for this. "Dad, please." He helped me up and put me in the surveillance car. He drove as fast as the speed limits allowed him to, he was still the chief of police after all.
In the hospital they asked me what had happened. Charlie was standing beside me. I had to answer thought, for the sake of my baby. Charlie answered for me: "she fell down the stairs, she seems to have a lot of pain." I took a deep breath. "I'm five months pregnant, I think I'm bleeding." I had never seen Charlie's eyes become so large. He grabbed the counter. His breathing became faster, I could only compare it to a raging bull. Then he passed out. "The nurses will take care of him." The doctor said, first we need to take care of you. They did a bunch of examinations and concluded that everything was all right with the baby. But I had to rest a lot and I had to be very careful. It wouldn't take much for me to lose the baby after this. I was scared but so grateful. My baby was ok. But I wondered if I would be ok after facing Charlie.
The nurse rolled me in a wheelchair to the bed where Charlie was still unconscious. I had never seen Charlie faint before, this must have been a great shock to him. About five minutes later he regained conciousness. "Dad?" "Bells, please tell me I was just having a nightmare. You're not pregnant , right?" I could only look guilty. "Isabella Swan! It is not the time for jokes!" "Dad, I'm sorry. I was careless. I am pregnant. I have been for the last five months." "FIVE MONTHS!?" He tried to calm down. "Bella? Five months? What were you thinking?" "I couldn't tell you I'm sorry. When I found out two months ago I was confused and angry. I thought as long as I don't tell anyone, it won't be real." "Bella." He pitied me. I started crying. He didn't know what to do, he lifted my face up with his hand. " I'm sorry dad. I'm so sorry." "Who is the father?" He asked as calmly as possible given the situation. "It's Jake." He swallowed. "Billy's boy?" "yes." "Does he know?" "Who?" "Billy ofcourse!" He waited a second. "You haven't told Jacob either!?" "I couldn't tell him,dad. How could I ruin is life. He's so young. We're so young!" "He has the right to know Bells." " I know, but the longer I waited, the more difficult it got." I started sobbing. Charlie hugged me. I felt him twitch when he felt that my stomach was so much bigger than he had noticed from seeing me in my big sweatshirts. "God, you really are pregnant." He muttered. He let out a small smile. "What are you going to do with the baby? You should have considered abortion." "NO! I did think about it, for a second. But because I was already three months along when I found out, it was out of the question. Besides no matter how angry and sad I was, I could never abort my child!" "Calm down Bells, I didn't mean it like that. So you're going to keep the baby, when it's born?" " Yes. Dad, I love my unborn child." "So I'm becoming a grandfather, huh?" He must have gotten over the initial shock, he smiled from one ear to the other. "I guess you are grandpa" I smiled back at him. "But you have to tell Jacob." I sighed. "I guess I do."
