Jacob's POV

Bella and Sam have been dating for 6 months now and he's going to ask him to marry her. I think it's way too soon but what do I know? I'm just the guy that used to be her best friend. OK, OK I'm still her best friend. But I miss her and Lexi so much. It's like I get their nights and he gets everything else. Nights like after school before I go home. Not nights like I'll keep you warm at night. We all have dinner every couple of weeks at our house or sometimes her house now and I see how happy he both makes them so I'm not mad or jealous. Just a little bit sad. Once they are married I doubt I will even get the nights. Lexi even spends time with him when Bella is working now. So now I have to share her with Bella, her grandpa, and Sam! I get her maybe one weekend a month. I feel like a screwed over dad. I sound jealous. But I'm seriously not, I'm just adjusting. Leah is of course over the moon happy and she's talking about us getting married and having kids. I'm too young for all that! So is Bella but I guess Sam's overdue. And if you average their age out it's about right. I love Leah but I'm 23. Sam is messing me up!

Can you keep Lexi tonight? Then I can pick her up after my last session tomorrow. Or Sam can pick her up in the morning. Bella

Yes! I miss her! I will keep her all day tomorrow. What are you doing tonight? Jacob

Not sure. Sam just asked me to ask you to keep her and he said he'd pick me up in a couple of hours. So we will be there soon. She wants the goblin story again. Bella

Not happening. See you soon. Jacob

She convinced me to tell her the goblin story once and she loved it. I don't think she remembers the waking up screaming and scaring the crap out of me in the middle of the night part.

I'm pretty sure he's going to ask her to marry him tonight. What if I was busy? Poor planners make poor husbands. Just kidding, but seriously he should have made plans sooner. But then he never makes plans sooner, maybe he thought it would make her suspicious. It probably would have made her suspicious actually. He's smart and he knows her well.

Soon Bella and Lexi showed up and Bella must have remembered the sugar cubes because she starts bouncing and asking if we can watch The Little Mermaid.

"Sure, whatever you want." Luckily Leah is at work. She has serious issues with princess movies. If I have daughters Bella is responsible for their princess movie introductions.

"Thanks Jake! You're the best." Bella says as she hugs me before walking back to the car. And I watch her walk away for the last time as just my best friend Bella. The next time I see her she will be his fiancée. And soon after that Lexi will be his daughter.

"Jake, what's wrong? You look sad." I forget how well kids can read you.

"Nothing kiddo, let's go order pizza and watch the movie."

"With pineapple!" She yells and runs into the house.

Bella's POV

Jake was acting weird. He's been acting weird for a couple of weeks actually. I think he feels neglected; I will have to plan something for us and Lexi soon.

After I get home from dropping Lexi off I get ready for Sam to pick me up.

Sam knocks and I open the door and act annoyed because I tell him every time he comes over to just come in. He ignores my bad acting and pulls me into him and kisses me so hot that I think we should just skip wherever he plans on going. He's against that idea so we go.

We end up at his house and I'm thinking OK we could have done this at my house thirty minutes ago.

"I made you dinner." He says as he pulls me into the kitchen.

Dinner is simple but amazingly good. Homemade pizza and salad without tomatoes. We talk and laugh and kiss our way through dinner and then he tells me he has dessert. He comes back with a box from mine and Lexis's favorite bakery.

"I'm really full Sam."

"Just one bite?" I can't resist that.

I open the box and there is a chocolate cupcake with a ring on top. Holy crap! No wonder Jake was acting weird! How did he not tell me?

"Bella, will you marry me?"

"Oh my god Sam yes! Yes! Yes!"

I stay the night and when we are lying in bed he starts talking about how happy he is to spend the rest of our lives together.

"Just us and Lexi." I say. She is going to be so excited!

"And our future kids." He adds. Oh crap. Did I forget to mention my not having more kids thing? I guess it never came up.

"Uh Sam now probably isn't the best time to mention this but I don't want more kids."

"Why Bella, you're such good mom to Lexi. And you're still so young. Maybe you will change your mind." He looks so hopeful and I feel like such a bitch for not bring this up sooner.

"If you have a baby of your own you won't love her like you do now." I whisper so soft I'm not sure he can hear, almost hoping he can't.

"Bella, that is not true. I love her like she's my own already. I can't possibly love any child more." He's a cross between mad and hurt.

"You think that now because it's all you know." I feel so bad for hurting him but I'm not going to change my mind on this.

"I'm sorry Bella but if that's really how you feel than I can't be with you." I start crying and I want him to just hold me so bad but instead I get up and get dressed.

"I'll call Jake to come pick me up." I'm trying not to break down.

"I'll take you home."

"I'll call Jake." I cannot be in the car with him all the way back to my house.

"Bella, just tell me this, do you worry that Jake will stop loving Lexi as much when he has kids with Leah?" He has a little bit of hope in voice and I know I'm about to kill it.

"No."

"Yeah, just call Jake."
