Chapter 7: The fight Part 1

Edward makes a plan to convince Bella that they still belong together, but events make him realise just how much she loves Jacob

A.N. Sorry for the long wait on the update guys. Life problems have prevented me from updating, but hopefully I will be able to update more frequently. Any-who, here's the next chapter, enjoy guys.

Edward POV

We all looked at Rosalie impatiently waiting for her to explain what had happened with Bella, but she just stood their patiently with smug smile on her face and making her thoughts to confusing for me to read. She inhaled deeply, obviously checking to see if the wolves had gone. She let out as satisfied smile and spoke. "Bella is fine" she began and I exhaled in relief "she's perfect in fact," she continued looking at me with a smug smile "she's pregnant again." She beamed still directly addressing me.

I felt like I had just been punched in the gut, my world was spinning and I could barely maintain my composure. That beast had defiled her again, and worse got her pregnant again, this made me anger. How dare he defile my beautiful Bella, then it hit me, the image that he had shown me, with Bella straddling him, was when it happened. I cursed myself for not seeing this sooner. How could she let this happen, she was supposed to love me more! I heard Esme ask Rosalie if she was sure and her annoying laugh brought me back to the present.

"Of course I am, I heard it's faint heart beat and I bought her a pregnancy stick because I knew she wouldn't believe me." She replied and let the conversation play out in her mind so that I could see for myself. I saw her get upset in Rosalie's mind and I felt the huge need to protect her. She didn't want this baby with Jacob, because she still loved me. I needed to tell her that it would be OK, and that I'd pay for her to get rid of it. I walked forward but was stopped by Rosalie grabbing my arm and dragging me back. I made a move for her, to push her or something, but Emmett blocked me from touching her. I held my hands up in defeat and walked around them instead. "Leave her alone Edward, she's happy" Rosalie snapped at me moving out from behind Emmett.

"She's the love of my life." I snapped. "She's supposed to be with me forever"

"But you left her" Rosalie snapped back, matching my anger.

"To protect her and keep her alive."

"And she is alive, you achieved what you wanted. You wanted her to live and now she is. Don't ruin her life again." She said and walked inside with the rest following her. I stood outside for a while, alone in my thoughts and I started to get angry. Bella was the love of my life, the reason for my existence and I was not about to let her go. I was about to take of in a run when I heard Alice gasp as if she was drowning and I knew she was having a vision, I raced in and stood in front of her to share the vision. Snow had fallen on the ground and it was an icy cold day. We were in a clearing high up in the forest and surrounded by Victoria and her newborn army all red eyed and blood thirsty. Then the vision ended, it was very short but left me satisfied.

"The newborns are coming" she said as an explanation to the rest "we have three weeks." I smiled and left to go to my room. I would finally have my chance to talk to Bella. I knew Jacob was taking her high up a mountain to keep her safe and her son would be with Billy Black and a few wolves. Once it was time he was going to leave her in the care of Seth to go and fight. This I decided, would be when I made my move and tried to convince Bella that Jacob had fooled her into loving him.

Bella POV

I took me a while to get used to being pregnant again, but as the weeks went by I adjusted and began to get used to the idea, now I was looking forward to having my baby and even dreamed about him/her, most of the dreams contained a girl with long brown hair and my face, but with Jacobs eye and skin colour. I was still hard to believe that eight weeks ago Jacob and I were still nursing our broken hearts and nervously skirting around each other. Now we had a future together and were having another baby, it was nothing short of a miracle. The love I felt for him was growing stronger by the day, and was even stronger than before, something which we consulted in Billy about. It was strange considering Jacob never imprinted on me, and he was looking into the old legends and books, to see if he could come up with anything.

Telling my dad had been fun to say the least. Jacob and I had only been back together three weeks and he, like me was a bit apprehensive about us having another baby so soon, into our relationship. After Jacob telling him that I had, had similar concerns and that we had talked about it for hours, and Jacob reassured him that he was going to protect us all with his life and that he was so in love with me that we were never going to part again, he relented. Dad knew he would do all that he could to protect me Jack and the new baby, and would provide for us as much as he could. Soon like me, he was looking forward to having a new baby in the house.

However, two short days after I had found out, Rosalie came to see us unexpectedly, she had managed to get past the treaty line without being detected until the last minute, she had ran that fast. Jacob had just been told of the breach when she burst through the door, making my dad jump in fright, he had been on the sofa with Jack when she'd burst in. Jacob had smelt her before she had arrived and had signalled to the guys to back down. Jack immediately ran to her and she picked him up without breaking eye contact with me, buy the worried look on her face and her abrupt arrival I knew it wasn't good. Jacob had hugged me close as he sensed my fear, I had never seen her this riled up before. She only broke contact when Jack spoke to her.

"I got a new toy, wanna see?" He had asked her excitedly.

"I sure do, why don't you get it for me?" She had said, putting on a happy face as she talked to him. She set him down and he rushed up stairs to look for it.

"Charlie" She said briskly motioning to the kitchen. He knew something was up and was so worried that he didn't even question her bursting into our house. "Look I'm not even supposed to be here, they didn't want to tell you yet, but you need to know" she began, we all looked confused, but she continued. "Alice had a vision a few days ago, Victoria and her new born army will be here in three weeks." She blurted out my chest tightened and I began to shake, Jacob caught me before a I fell and led me to a chair, he sat me down and Rosalie handed me a glass of water before my dad even finished asking me if I wanted one. "I'm sorry I know you don't need this right now, but you needed to know you've got to protect the kids, be prepared, there will be about twenty of them." She had rushed all of this information out and seconds later Jack came running in with his new toy truck. He however, dropped it on the floor upon seeing me.

"Momma" he whimpered tears springing to his eyes.

"Oh she's ok Jack" Rosalie said and picked him up. "She's just forgotten to eat and is feeling a bit dizzy." He looked at her confused and Jacob explained.

"You know the way you feel buddy, when daddy spins you around really fast?" he asked and Jack nodded "Well that's the way mummy feels now" Jacob explained

"Why don't you help your grandpa make something to eat for your mummy?" Rosalie said and Jack nodded enthusiastically, Rosalie set him down and he bounded over to my dad who picked him up and took him to the fridge. Jacob and Rosalie took this chance to help me into the living room as fast as they could, without me fainting. "It will happen on the coldest day of the season, I don't know exactly when, but it will be cold enough for snow, it will drop to below 20 degrees" She explained and I nodded, it was coming to the end of winter and hard to imagine it getting that cold, but if Alice had seen it, then it must happen. "I got to go, Emmett will be chomping at the bit to come and get me, I told him to wait at home so Edward wouldn't follow me." She added and opened the front door. "Stay safe" she said and disappeared in a flash.

That was three weeks ago, and after a week and a half of freezing weather, tomorrow was to be the coldest day of the year. So here I was standing packing up Jacks things for a two night stay at Billy's, Jacob was beside himself with worry and had woken up several time during the night with nightmares, and after brining Jack into our bed, he finally settled into a sleep, I however, had resided in watching the two of them sleep, and I was now exhausted. Jacob hadn't left Jack's side the whole day and his anxiousness was making me worse, and Jacob knew, but couldn't help it. My dad had agreed to stay in Billy's as well, just to be safe and he himself looked worried and tired.

We had travelled to Billy's in silence, Jack sitting in-between Jacob and I in the back of the cruiser. Both of us held on tightly to him and to one another, we knew that our weird behaviour was upsetting our son, but we couldn't help it. Billy was in the same mood when we arrived, but once, Jack was settled in front of the TV he led us into the kitchen and told us off.

"Look I know this is hard" he said in a low angry tone, "but Jack doesn't need all of this upset, now pull yourselves together, you've plenty of time to mope later." he finished and wheeled into see Jack. He was right of course and we all tried our hardest, even tried not to squeeze him to death as me and Jacob left. Telling him we were going on a two day holiday, he wasn't happy of course but neither were we. Billy led us outside for a quick word, leaving my dad with Jack.

"I found out something about your connection." he began "you have got a strong connection there's not doubt about that and your time apart from each other has only made your bond stronger. But when you were ill Bella, Jacob gave you a blood donation, his blood now runs through you, the connection is as strong as that of an imprints, but there is one other thing. Bella you have wolf blood running through you and now a baby of a wolf, your going to gain some power with it. It will only happen when you're in danger but you will experience some changes, speed, agility, super hearing and strength. All stuff to help with protect your baby." I was stunned I couldn't believe I was going to have some power myself, it made me feel better about this fight, only slightly. But I could protect my baby, with the help of Jacob, the possibility of this baby being harmed had dramatically decreased. It lessened my worry slightly, but I still had to worry about Jack.

Later that night it was with a heavy heart when we set up on the top of a mountain, it was freezing and I was wrapped up in three layers and still shivering, Jacob set up as I sat on a rock in front of a roaring fire. I watched him work with great agility and felt my hear spread with pride and love. I couldn't imagine falling even more in love with him, but I did, and will continue to do every day for the rest of our lives. He smiled when he caught me staring and beckoned me over, he placed a long tender kiss on my lips and led me inside. We snuggled down into the sleeping back and I began to warm up instantly with his heat seeping into my very soul.

"I love you so much" He said kissing my temple.

"I love you too, more than I've ever loved anyone, except for Jack" I replied truthfully and he smiled believing me.

"He's going to be ok, isn't he?" Jacob said and I could actually feel the panic in his heart.

"Yes, he is" I said strongly, feeling a lot stronger myself. He noticed this and pulled me closer. "I would die if anything happened to either of you" he added and I could sense he was trying not to cry.

"Babe" I began I sat up and straddled him, no longer feeling cold "Nothing is going to take us away from you, and I swear no one will hurt you." I all but growled.

"Oh easy wolfe" he grinned his anxiety eased by my reassurance, and I could feel just how relaxed he was feeling now. I laughed at his nickname for me and decided to ease his anxiety totally, I wanted to make love to him in case something did happen. And so we did, each falling more in love the more we made love.
