Billie and Timothy! Billie and Timothy! Billie and Timothy! I cannot forget…
Jake's POV
Ok, it's great that my Bella is getting revenge on the Cullen's, by nicking their credit cards…
I also know, she's doing it because I can't support the family; Ben called today, whilst she was out. He knew about our financial situation, he was going to pay her, a part time pay. I said thank you, and that we'd take it. He laughed.
"Thanks Ben, seriously, you know our situation, she has to feed herself, that'll be free, I think, well she's bringing more money than me, and she's getting revenge at the same time. I think that's pretty good. Don't you think?"
"Yeah, hey, erm, Jake, why don't you get a job, something small, it might stop her. Or I hear from Bella of course, that you're a good mechanic, and you love doing that. You have your own garage even. I think, she's mentioned it a few more times than twice."
"Hey, that's a good idea. Thanks Ben, you're a real good man, I hope you get Angela back, you really don't deserve this"
"Thanks Jake. No problem, I've got to go. Bella dropped in some evidence last night, so I've got to send that off to forensics for testing before she can get her paws on it, you know. So she can find out what's happening to the victims. Though, I think we all know what's going on there. We just don't want to think about that option…"
"I know that you put a lot of trust in Bella, and faith, please don't put too much on her shoulders. That's why I rang in the first place, she would come home, drained; I would panic thinking they'd come back. That the Cullen's had got her, and wouldn't take 'no' for an answer.
Ben, you're are good guy, this shouldn't of happened to you. All I'm asking is to not put too much pressure on her. I know and you know she can't get tired any more, but that's beside the point. She will remember forever, Ben. Forever, if she succeeds it'll be brilliant. If she fails, she'll be mourning forever, I don't want another zombie. I can't cope with another zombie"
"Zombie? Look Jake, I know that took a lot of courage on your part to say that, and I'm really sorry what happened last time. I put so much faith in her it wasn't real. Anyway, you better ring the newspaper for the advert, and I'll be off to the forensics lab. Just before I go…"
"Yes, Ben, when I say zombie I mean when he left"
"Ok, well I best be off see you later"
"Yeah, mate see you later"
I hung up, and picked up the newspaper. Bella still wasn't back.
I ran through the pages, until I got to the adverts.
Yes.
Now all I have to do… is find the number!
I eventually found it, I dialed the number, it rang a few times, and then a very cheesy voice sounded on the other end of the phone. I could actually picture the guys face, a grin from ear to ear.
"Hello, this is chatter-glass newspaper, how can I help you?"
"Hi, I'm calling to put an ad in the paper? Have I got the right department?"
"You sure have, would you like us to fill out the form now? Phone bill is going to go through the roof if we don't get going"
"Yeah, if that's possible"
"Ok, profession?" the cheesy voice asked, it sent a shiver down my spine.
"Mechanic"
"Name?"
"Mr. Black that's B-l-a-c-k"
"Ok, thank you, I guessing that this is for two weeks?"
"How much would that cost roughly?"
"That would be 25 pounds for the two weeks, or you can extend that"
"Could I extend that to a month please?"
"Yep. All I need now is how clients are going to contact you"
I gave him my mobile, and home number.
"I know what a phone bill can get up to, so would you like to come down, say in the next hour or so. We can sort everything out my end of the phone"
"I'm afraid, I cant possibly do that, I'm waiting for my wife to come home, I'm babysitting you see"
"Ok, how is tomorrow looking?"
"Good, it's looking good"
"I expect to see you here Mr. Black at 9:35 sharp"
"Thank you, see you tomorrow Mr.…"
"Mr. Dumdum"
"Oh, ok I'll see you tomorrow Mr. Dumdum"
I hung up, and the kids were laughing at his name.
"Yeah, I know, funny, I do feel sorry for someone with that kind of a name though, must be terribly embarrassing"
"Dad" Billie said, she yawned
"Dad, Dad" said Timothy, we both looked over, to see Timothy fast asleep. He looked like me, but had all Bella's qualities. The klutziness, the sleep talking, the… Bella. I looked at my little girl, she had most of Bella's features, but she had lovely hair.
Timothy had these topaz eyes that would search you, almost looking for something…
The kids weren't as thick as Bella presumed. They didn't like the new clothes. They weren't keen on the Cullen's. I could tell, they would put their faces against my chest Billie once commented… ok she didn't comment, she just said
"Dad, dad" smiled, and let out a huge breath, she had then snuggled into my chest.
I laughed quietly to myself, my children looked like me, Edward, and of course Bella.
I personally think its because when she fed them, whilst she was transforming; it gave them a tiny bit of poison too.
With her gone, and a job just sitting there. I picked Billie up first, then Timothy, and headed out, to get a photocopy of my certificate that showed I was fully trained.
When I got back in, Bella was nowhere to be found. The stress must have showed, because it reflected in my children's eyes.
We waited a grand total of four hours. I put the children to bed, one at a time. I then made myself a cup of tea, and when Bella came in, I was fast asleep on the chair.
She giggled, and then sighed. I opened my eyes, and looked at her.
She had ten shopping bags on each hand.
"I guess you want to talk to me?" she said, but Bella used a tone that sounded like a child, that knew it had done wrong.
"Yeah, but firstly, I want to show you something" I toke her upstairs. We laid the bags down, and I held her hand, and covered her eyes with my free hand, when we got to the children's bedroom, I toke my hand away, Bella had her eyes closed.
"It's ok," I whispered. She opened them, and I heard her take in a breath, I opened the door to the kid's room silently, and heard her gasp. Our children we rolling round. On the floor, in pain, Billie attempted to smile. It wasn't worth it was a grimace.
"Billie, come over now" Bella cooed. Billie, bless her. Couldn't do a thing.
The phone rang we ignored it. The answer phone would catch it.
"I-I'll get it" Bella whispered, I'd heard the kids rolling like this for an hour, if either of them had my gene, they'd die.
Shit.
I listened in on the conversation.
"Ben?"
"Sorry if this is a bad time"
"Yes, yes it is, I was expecting Alice Cullen, or Edward, or someone. Can I call you later?"
"Yes, yeah sure" I heard Bens voice for the first time in that whole conversation.
I heard Bella type in a quick number.
"I need Dr. C. Cullen please, it's an emergency"
"Hello? Ah Bella" Bella was crying now, real tears.
"Bella, Christ the lord is you ok? What's the matter?"
"My babies… they've… when I fed them… the venom… Jakes blood… dead…" Bella was crying so much, I picked both kids up, and ran towards her, the children weren't crying as much now, its then that I noticed Billie's heart.
It had stopped completely, she was grinning wildly, her eyes were the same brown, and I was stunned.
I was so absorbed in Billie's smile that I didn't observe Bella getting off the phone.
"Oh My GOD! She's already…" Bella broke down, Billie's face turned concerned for her mother, she looked so innocent right then, Billie was stretching her arms out, and Bella was on her knees, she was crying so much, but no water ever hit the floor, the smell of the sea came in through the window, I looked back to Bella, her eyes where a misty gray. She needed food.
"Bella, go to LA push now, get into the water, cliff dive if you must, just get into some water!"
Bella got up, and looked deep into my eyes, searching my soul for the right answer.
"Bella, this is the right thing to do, I don't want to have to bring the ocean into our home"
She nodded, and kissed our children on the heads.
Timothy was squirming, Billie laid her hand on his head, and he giggled, though it was strained.
I heard a knock on the front door, I ran at werewolf speed, towards it.
There stood Carlisle Cullen.
"Billie is too late, she must have had part vampire from Bella, she breast fed them while she was going through her transformation.
"Put timothy down, please, and hold him down" I did as I was told, I laid him on the floor, and Carlisle bit my son, at first he was screaming all the more, but I trusted Carlisle a lot. He had saved my own life.
In no time at all, Timothy was whimpering, like a lost puppy.
"He has your gene mutt" Carlisle joked.
"Yes he does, doesn't he leech?"
We both laughed, and high fived.
"Could I look at Billie, examine her for a sec?"
"Doc, you don't have to ask"
"Oh, yes, yes I do" he muttered. I passed Billie over to him, and gave him a quick nod.
I ran towards the under stairs cupboard, and pulled out a pram.
"Here, let's take these little darlings for a walk, if Timmy's part of me, he'll need it, I've always needed a walk once a day, from when I was born. Naturally a dog"
"You sound like one proud parent"
"Yeah, I am I just, well I'm trying to understand"
"What? What are you trying to understand? Maybe I could help?"
"That'd be great"
"May I ask something, just before hand?"
"Bella is in LA push feeding"
He froze, and I laughed. "Bella is in LA push? Feeding?" he asked in disbelief.
"Well, I don't know if you noticed or not, but Bella isn't normal, she feeds off of water"
"Oh. You know I was so excited, then, but scared at the same time. Wait, if Bella's in LA push"
"Treaty no longer exists, however, you're still here, and so we'll keep changing"
"Wow"
"I know, you seriously don't know how relieved I am"
Just then, we both heard a howl.
"I'm sorry, but duty calls"
"Yes, yes it does, it was nice talking to you Jake"
"Yeah, you too. I've just got to remind Seth, that I'm pack leader now, he was on holiday."
"Your pack leader?"
"Yeah"
"Right, you'd best be off then"
"Carlisle, could you look after the kids, just until I get back?"
"Alice would love to"
"I was hoping Edward might actually, or Emmett. The kids need something to entertain them"
We both laughed, I was still laughing as I tore through the trees, and Seth was next to a beautiful thing, lying in an awkward position.
I recognized it as Bella.
I leant forward licking her gorgeous face. Seth whimpered.
Bella growled, scaring the living shit out of Seth.
I started thinking about Bella, and then I gave an order.
Seth, goYes Jake, will do, eww stop it, I'm going already"
I phased back, Bella rolled over,
"Everything's ok, Emmett and Edward and Alice are looking after two healthy children"
"Emmett?"
"Yeah"
"WHAT? WHY IS EMMETT WITH THEM?" she was screaming now
"Bells, he's the entertainment" she relaxed her face, the laughed, obviously thinking about the 'entertainment'
"Let us go an fetch?"
"Yeah, let me go home and get u some clothes first yes Jake?"
"Yeah, that'd be good"
