Summary: Jacobs a dumb ass. The end.

"Bella, Bella sweetheart, you have to snap out of it." Alice shook my shoulders.

"What have I done?" I managed to mumble.

"No. No, Bella…. This is not your fault." Edward kissed my forehead.

I pulled away from him. "Yes it is, Edward, come on. We have to go."

"Go?" He looked surprised. "No, Bella, we can't go there."

"We have to. My dad found out that I'm a vampire and he had a heart attack. I have some explaining to do."

"That's the exact reason we can't go. Bella, you are a vampire. He is a human. You wont be able to resist his blood. Plus, a hospital is not at all the place to take a newborn."

"I'll plug my nose." I retorted coldly.

"No, Bella. You can't. I wont allow it."

"I can run faster than you."

"Alright, fine Bella, go. Go to the hospital and explain to your dad that you're a vampire. And while your at it you can also explain the 50 people you massacred on the way to his room. How's that?"

"UGH!" I threw my hands up in the air and sat down on the couch. "He's my father, Its my fault he is even in the hospital. OH MY GOD I don't even know if he's going to survive! I can't just sit here and do nothing."

In response, Edward stood decidedly and crossed to the phone. His fingers flew across the keys at an invisible speed. He tapped his foot impatiently as he waited for the call to connect.

"Hello?…. Yes, my name is Edward Cullen, I am Charlie Swan's son-in-law, I was wondering if-….. Yes, yes I'll hold."

His foot tapped more.

"Yes, that's very good, thank you."

He held out the phone to me.

I took it gingerly and held it to my ear.

"Hello?" Charlie sounded so weak.

I gulped. What the hell was I going to say to him.

"Um, hi dad,"

"Bella?"

"Yeah dad, its me. Billy called and… I just wanted to….. Dad I'm sorry."

"I always knew there was something strange about that family… but I never expected…" He faltered.

"I'm so sorry, Dad I didn't mean to…."

"So its true then… you're a….. you're a vampire? The Cullens too?"

"Are you going to have another heart attack if I say yes?"

"I'm too heavily medicated for that." He sighed.

"Then, yes, its true."

Silence.

Edward held out his hand for the phone.

"Dad, Edward wants to talk to you. Is that ok?"

"Yes."

"Alright, I love you Dad"

"I…. I love you too Bells."

I handed the phone to Edward and slid to the ground. I wrapped my arms around me legs and buried my face in my knees and just listened to Edward.

"Charlie,…… alright. Yes, that's fair………. She wants to come there, but I can't let her…. Because she doesn't have enough resistance to human blood yet………… No, Charlie. Its going to be a while before she's ready for that, and even then it will be putting you in danger…….. Charlie, you know that you can't tell anyone about this, right?…… yes, it would put Bella in a lot of danger……. Yes, Charlie. I will bring her to see you as soon as she is ready. Get better Charlie. Thank you……. I will. Goodbye."

"He is going to be fine." He sat on the ground next to me and put his arms securely around me. "Bella, I'm sorry. This shouldn't have happened."

"I can't believe Jacob would tell Charlie. He promised me he wouldn't….."

"Since when does Jacob have any decent morals."

"Tou chay." I sighed.

"I hope he feels like shit." I muttered. "He put Charlie in the hospital."

"Charlie is fine." Edward assured me. "He's just really confused. He can't make sense of any of this. I think I am going to tell Carlisle to go talk to him, calm him down a little."

"That would be good." I sighed.

"Bella," He grabbed my chin and pulled it up until I met his eyes. "Everything is going to be ok."

He could tell that I didn't believe him. He pulled me closer and pressed his lips to mine for a short moment. "Everything is going to be alright." He repeated against my lips.

I might have been immune to his mind reading, but I was still not immune to his dazzling. I nodded in defeat, giving myself over to trust.

The next few days dragged by. I called Charlie every day to get an update on his condition but even with the assurance of his speedy recovery, I worried constantly. I constantly asked Alice to check up on him. She was very cooperative and helpful though, she knew how upset I was.

The phone rang twice. Alice's vacant expression sent butterflies to my stomach. "Please, no, not Charlie. Not Charlie." I stammered.

"Charlie's fine." She promised.

I took out the phone and looked at the number.

"Jacob?"

"Shit." Alice moaned. "Now what?"

I opened the phone cautiously. "Hello?"

"Bella! Jesus, I knew you would be pissed that I told him but I never thought you would hire a damn hit-man!!"

"Jake…. What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about the damn group of bloodsuckers trying to off me Bella! They're all…. Freakish and zombie-like, they're unresponsive and all they want to do is kill me, mumbling some crazy bullshit about how I'm a danger to vampires and it wasn't my secret to tell. I didn't think you would stoop that low, Bella."

"Jacob," I stammered. "I swear I didn't… I mean, sure I was pissed at you, I am pissed at you, but I didn't hire a hit man…"

"WHAT!?" Edward jumped up.

"Are you sure It wasn't your husband?" Jacob retorted.

"No, Jake. Edward didn't hire a mob to off you either."

"Shit!" I heard muffled voices and shouts in the background. "I gotta run Bella, I'll call later."

Then the line went dead.

"Bella?" Edward frowned.

"Edward, did you send a angry hoard of newborns to go kill Jacob?"

"NO!" Panic crossed his face. He began pacing the room deep in thought. He paced for several minutes before he abruptly halted.

"Shit. Jane."

"What about Jane?!"

"I think she has a better fix on things than we think. If she found out that Jacob told your dad…… well obviously that's against the rules."

"Oh no. She's trying to kill him?"

"Its likely. And if her newborns don't finish him, she'll do it herself."

"Wait…" I held out my hand to stop him. "He said that they were like….zombies."

"Michelle." He breathed.

"Michelle? What does that mean?"

"Michelle is a vampire with another special power. She can hypnotize anyone into doing anything."

"What a convenient pain in the ass." Alice's voice joined in from across the room. "I heard," She cut Edward off before he could burst into detail.

"So now what?" I asked frantically.

"Bella, it doesn't look good for Jacob." Edward admitted.

"No. We have to help him." I breathed

"Bella, he'll kill you!" Alice shook her head.

"No he wont! I know him better, we have to…. We have to do something!"

"He will have to get himself out of this. He got himself into it….."

"NO!" I roared in anger.

"Bella, Bella this boy just put your father in the hospital." Edward shook his head.

"I know! But I am NOT going to be selfish enough to let him deal with Jane on his own. I am not the kind of person to stand by and watch a friend suffer."

"Damn your morals, Bella." Alice scowled.

"I have to…. We can't just…." I sobbed dryly.

"Shhhhh, ok Bella. Ok." Edward wrapped me tightly in his arms.

The phone rang again.

"Oh for God's sake, what now?" Alice put her hand on her hip.

A number I did not recognize popped up on the screen.

"Who is it?" Edward asked.

"I don't know." I flipped open the phone and put it to my ear.

"Hel-"

"Bella! Jacob is missing."

"Sam?"

"Jacob is GONE Bella, do you hear me? He is gone! We can't find him in our thoughts and we can't smell him. He is GONE."

"No. He can't be….."

"Dead? Yeah, why else would I be calling you?"

"You think he's dead."

"Yes."

"He's not dead. He's stronger than that! I'll be there in an hour."

No objection sounded from the other end.

"Fine." Sam snapped. The line went dead.

"He's disappeared. Come on, we have to go." I ordered authoritatively.

"Bella, n-"

"NOW!"
