Chapter 19:

Things were in utter chaos as the family tried to figure out what to do about Edward. We had yet to hear from Alice and I was a little worried that Edward would hurt her. He obviously isn't in his right mind and I can't help but to wonder what happened to him. I now found myself sitting in the Cullen living room surrounded by my entire family, both vampires and werewolves.

The wolves wanted blood for what Edward did to me. Sam was adamant that Edward had broken the treaty and therefore deserved to die. Carlisle was trying to calm the situation but nothing seemed to be working. I just sat on the couch with my head in my hands. I felt bad for Carlisle in this situation because Edward was his first son. I could see the turmoil on his face and couldn't hold back the silent tears that were streaming down my face. Rose was rubbing my back gently as we stared at the argument unfolding in front of us.

The sudden ringing of Carlisle's phone brought everyone out of the hate-filled staring contest that was going on. "Alice, where are you? Where is Edward?" Carlisle's questions seemed mildly panic stricken and full of worry. "YOU WHAT?" Pause. "Come home now and we will figure this out."

He calmly closed the phone and put it back in his pocket before sitting down and mimicking my position. Everyone was staring at him with the same expressions on their face as I looked around clueless. Damn their super hearing. Carlisle was obviously agitated by something and everyone else knew what it was. I was going slightly nuts as the silence loomed over us all. What had she told him? Why did he yell like that? Where was Edward now?

I had finally had enough and stood up to face Carlisle. "Seeing as I don't have super hearing or anything like that, can you please tell me what the heck is going on?"

Carlisle seemed to come out of his stupor and looked up at me. "Alice said that she lost him as he circled back around and swam through the Great Lakes, and that her visions continued to show his decision to come back here and get you. I don't think he is going to give up until either he has you or he is dead."

"He'll never take her away from me again. I'll kill him before he even gets near her." Jake growled out while wrapping his arms tightly around me.

Will started whimpering in the other room and I ran to grab him. The moment I picked him up he whimpered into my chest and sought out my breast. I moved my dress out of the way and allowed him to feed. Everything came crashing down on me while I sat there with my son in my arms. Carlisle was right; Edward was never going to give up.

I didn't know what to do; I didn't necessarily want to have Edward dead, but what if he hurt Will. I couldn't bear it if Edward came after me and decided to hurt my family. Something needed to happen soon. What that something was, I had no idea.

"Bells, do you want to go home and lay down?" Jake's deep voice broke me out of my thoughts and I nodded my head enthusiastically while moving slowly towards the door. "I'm sorry everyone, but my wife has obviously been through an ordeal and I am going to take her home to get some rest." Everyone nodded solemnly as Jake led me through the door. He paused for a moment and looked over at Sam, "I want ongoing patrols through La Push and Forks." Then he turned to Embry, "You and Quil will do a constant patrol around our house and I want to be alerted as soon anyone catches his scent." The wolves all nodded in understanding and he led me out to our truck that was still in the driveway.

The ride home was quiet with me tucked tightly into Jake's side while Will slept quietly in my lap. As soon as Jake led me up the stairs to our bedroom and my head hit the pillow, I was out cold.

As I awoke, I snuggled backwards into Jake's cool body. Wait a second, something is wrong here. The body was extremely cold and hard not soft and overheated like my Jake. What is going on? I turned slowly to see Edward staring down at me. He had a slight smirk on his face as he wrapped his arm tighter around me.

"Good morning love, I was wondering when you were going to wake up." I looked around and saw that I was in a dark room with only a small window to add light. I was back in the house, but how? No, Jake saved me. I started struggling to get away from him as he just laughed and held me tighter. "Silly Bella, what are you trying to do? You know it's pointless to try and escape from me. Now just give up and be with me. I want you."

He began unbuttoning the shirt that I was wearing as I continued to struggle. I was not going to let this happen. I tried expanding my shield, but that wasn't working either. I don't understand. I started screaming and crying and shaking all over. I tried hitting him but he was too strong. He continued removing my clothing until I was left in nothing but my panties.

"Edward, please don't do this. This isn't right and you know it. I don't love you and I don't want this. Please."

He just grunted and slid his thumbs into the waist band of my underwear and started to slide them down. I closed my eyes and began chanting "I love you Jake" over and over.

"Bells, honey, wake up. Please baby wake up." Jake's voice caused me to open my eyes quickly. I was back in my bedroom. It was just a dream. I sighed with relief and wrapped my arms tightly around him.

"Baby, are you ok? You were shaking and screaming. Did something happen?"

Jake's concern made me tear up and grasp his shirt tighter to me. "Oh Jake, it was horrible. I was back in that room with Edward and he was … he was …" I couldn't continue as a sob wracked my entire body.

Jake held me to his chest as I sobbed until the sounds of Will whimpering caused us to move. Will was awake from his nap and wanted to be fed. I sat in between Jake's legs as Will fed and we all snuggled with each other. The stress from the past few days made me just want to be close to my boys. I'm sure that Jake felt that since he held me as tight as possible and whispered soothing words into my ear.

We stayed like that until my stomach grumbled alerting me to my hunger. I reluctantly stood from my husband's protective arms to head down to the kitchen. Jake followed behind me with Will tucked safely in his arms. I threw together a quick sandwich for myself and as I sat down to eat I noticed Jake hungrily eyeing my food. I took a bite and got up to make him one, or five. As we both ate, Will snuggled in his daddy's lap.

Why couldn't life be this simple? This is how I wanted every single day to be. Unfortunately I have to deal with a psycho ex-boyfriend who happens to be a sparkly vampire. Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I had just stayed in Phoenix, but I usually throw that thought out immediately because if I had stayed there, I never would have married Jake and had my beautiful boy.

A/N: Sorry it is so short, but I'm still debating what to do about Edward. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Whoever sends me a suggestion that I like will not only have it used, but I will give them all the credit in the next chapter. PLEASE HELP!
