A/N: O.K., so some minor changes to the summary will be made... lmao. It seems I have lost my mind, and the book for a moment, but that's ok. I'm trying to space out the time for the book, but it's not working.

THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT! I love insulting sparkly vamps, and it seems that this has become a habit as told to me by my beta. lmao.

Chapter Seventeen- And I'm staring down the barrel of a .45

Jacob laid on the sofa with Bella, watching as another bruise appeared on her belly. He'd been staying around the Cullen's house for almost two weeks now. At the beginning of the week, he had tried to go home, only to find Billy telling him to get out. No one in the pack would let him stay with them, feeling more loyalty to Cassady than to him.

He closed his eyes, as he thought of Cassady. The last time he had seen her, she was smiling happily at Jared, who was in wolf form. She looked fine, great even, definitely not like she had the first time he left. He had heard that she had taken the position as Alpha Female officially, and was happy with it. He shook his head, ignoring the longing ache that filled him.

A week without talking to his imprint was taking its effect. It was hard to eat, and his wolf had a habit of sniffing her out, searching for her. Several times, he'd fallen asleep and whispered her name, only for Edward to wake him and tell him to shut up. No, he hadn't told Bella yet. He didn't want to upset her in this condition. He knew he was going to have to soon, but he didn't want to. He never wanted to.

Sounds at the door alerted him that there was a presence. He shook his head, knowing that his senses were getting dulled thanks to the lack of imprint. Slowly, a smell drifted toward him, one that made him want to cry out, and run towards it. The smell so fresh, and welcoming, it was all that he could take not to go to it.

"Yes, I need to see Jacob," Cassady's voice drifted across the house towards the desperate boy. Jacob sat up a little, alerting Bella that something was off.

"Who is Jake?" She asked, coughing lightly as she wheezed it out.

"Nobody, baby, just relax," Jacob said, head still perked up to see if he could see her. She stood in front of Emmett, a frown resting on her face, as she put her hand on her hips.

"I understand that he is with Bella, but this is important," She snarled, getting closer to him, causing a slight growl from Jacob. Edward walked in, glaring at him.

"Look, bitch," Emmett started to say, getting a hand in his face.

"If one of you cocksuckers call me that one more time, I might rip it off," Cassady snarled at him, " I don't care what your little slut wants. I need to talk to Jacob." Edward tensed, glaring at her intensely, getting a finger when he lightly growled.

"Do not insult Bella," Emmett stated getting closer to Cassady, causing her to smirk.

"Or what? You'll hit me. You won't live to finish that hit. The whole pack is outside, listening to this conversation as it goes on. I need to see Jacob on official pack business that need to be settled as soon as possible." Cassady pushed him lightly, walking past him, and began to enter the room , only for Edward to block her.

"Get out of my way," Cassady snarled, pushing at him.

"He doesn't want you here," Edward said in a monotone voice.

"Too bad; Move."

"He loves her more than you." Cassady growled at him.

"Move."

"He won't leave until he knows she's going to live."

"If you don't move and let me talk to him, Bella will find out everything."

"She will be first priority over you, you might want to leave if you don't want to hurt any more than you do now." Cassady smiled widely at Edward.

"I don't know what it is with you vamps, and repeating shit, but I get it. You need him, and I'm interefering with that. Too Bad," Cassady paused, before screaming, " Bella, My name is Cassady. I'm Jacob's imprint. We imprinted about a month ago, and have been working on it for about that long."

Jacob felt Bella flip and look at him. "Is it true?" She asked coldly. Jacob nodded his head, as she shook her head.

"Well, Cassady, I hate to break it to you, but he's here on his own free will. He wants to be here, and help me with the baby. Deal." Jacob felt him silently laughing at Bella's brashness, not noticing the tears the silently fell down her face.

"Jacob, I need to talk to you," Cassady said quietly, sighing after a moment of silence.

"I tried to talk to you, remember?" Jacob snarled, as Bella rubbed his arm, causing Cassady to stiffen for a moment.

"Jacob, seriously, it's not about us anymore. We need to talk." Cassady cried a little harder, shaking slightly. Jacob shook his head.

"They practically disowned me, and you were happy without me. Go back to that life, and leave me the fuck alone already will you? You can never make up your Goddamn mind with me. I think you just like the power you get from me," Jacob snarled, ignoring the gasp from her, " You're Alpha Female, go be top bitch, and leave me the fuck out of it. "

"This is something we both need to discuss Jacob, not just one of us." Cassady wrapped her arms around herself.

"You're a big girl, make them without me," Jacob stated, pushing away at the crying of his inner wolf that something was wrong. Cassady shook her head, tears falling down her cheeks.

"This is the last time I ever fucking listen to Sam. You're just as ignorant as any man in this house, wrapped around that little bitch's finger. You talk about power trip and me, have you looked at who your laying next to? It's not your kid, Jacob," Cassady snarled, "It's EDWARDS." Jacob heard her walk to the door, and didn't hear it open. He peered over the edge to see Cassady slap something into Emmett's hand, and snarl, " It won't be this way for long, but I figured he might want a reminder of what could have been." Jacob watched as she walked out the door, and slammed it closed behind her.

He leaned back in to Bella, who was smiling at him. Jacob petted her head lightly, smiling back at her.

"My Jacob," She muttered, before falling asleep. Jacob watched, as Edward sat in a chair across from him, eyes wide, and glancing in the direction where Emmett was. Jacob looked at Emmett, whose eyes were wide, glancing at Edward then back at Jacob.

"We can't hide something like that, Emmett. She's threatening to fix it for us, so we won't have to worry about it for long," Edward said, eyes looking right at Jacob.

"What is it?" Jacob asked quietly, trying not to wake Bella up once again. Emmett said nothing, instead holding out a white stick for Jacob to grab at. Jacob looked at it closely, recognizing it as a pregnancy test, though he had it backwards, so he couldn't see the results. He flipped it over, and gasped. On the little stick was a glowing red plus sign, where Jacob had hoped he would have seen a minus sign. Jacob looked at Edward, praying for him to tell him that she only took one test, and this might be a fluke.

"She took 14 test, and all of them the same. That wasn't what alerted her to it though. Sam and Jared said that she smelled different, more like you, and her, and some other scent. She doesn't want it though," Edward said, looking at the spot she had just been in. "She's not ready to be a single mother with a guy who doesn't love her. She's seriously considering aborting it, but Sam tried a last ditch effort for her to keep it. He figured that you would at least listen to her, and when you didn't, he freaked. When she was leaving, I could hear him telling her to not make any rash desicisions and to meet over at Billy's."

Jacob looked at Bella, then at the test, conflicting emotions running through him. He looked at Bella one more time, before shifting lightly, and getting up, watching as she shivered lightly, and looked at Edward.

"I'll be back," Jacob mumbled, before changing in to a wolf, and running out the door. His mind was attacked with panicked voices, and Sam practically screaming.

Cassady, where are you?-Sam

Cassady answer us, we know your there- Seth cried out, a howl not so far in the distance

Damn it, Jacob's with us- Paul growled

What's going on?- Jacob asked

I swear to god Black, if it wasn't for Cassady begging us not to rip you apart slowly but surely, I'd rip you a fucking new one.-Jared

How was I to know that Cassady was pregnant?- Jacob

YOU SHOULD HAVE HEARD HER OUT!- Sam yelled, causing shivers among the wolves.

Fuck you sam! Really Fuck you!- Jacob snarled, as all of a sudden a wolf crossed his path and landed in front of him.

Leah, Calm down- Sam said, attempting to sooth the raging wolf in front of Jacob.

MY Alpha is hurt. MY Alpha is crying, and MY Alpha is considering killing her own offspring. KILL IT! She's alone, and It's because of this fucker in front of me, give me one good reason why not! – Leah growled dangerously

Leah back off- Cassady's quiet voice came in.

Cassady- Sam said, whimpering at the amount of fear and pain emitting off the little bit she said.

I'm going to drive for a little bit- insert sigh- I'll be at Billy's soon- Cassady

Cassady, please don't hurt the baby, not yet, please- Seth whimpered, as another wave of hurt flashed through the bond.

I won't do anything rash, I'll meet you at Billy's- Cassady said, cutting herself off once again.

Stay away, Jacob- Sam growled

It's my child- Jacob snarled, creating growls among the group.

You lost that right- Seth growled

You could have fixed it with her, but you didn't, Jacob. Cassady's not the only one pregnant, and yet, she's the only one considering abortion.- Paul, A sharp scream was heard in the distance as Jacob stopped and turned, recognizing that it was coming from the Cullen household.

Go to your bitch, Jacob. Just remember, you made your choice- Leah

Quit moping in your own misery Leah, that's your cousin who's pregnant, not you, you selfish bitch.- Jacob snarled

Ha, if that's the reason you think I'm doing this Jacob, your sorely mistaken. That's my cousin who's so hurt that she can't block it, a person I would kill for- Leah

Go to fucking Hell- Jacob

We can share a room, Black- Leah

Stop it you two, I think I found her car- Embry called out

Alright, Em, show us the damage- Sam sighed

An image flashed through all their minds of Cassady, leaning on the steering wheel, crying hard. She banged her head on the steering wheel a couple times, before opening her door, and puking sounds were evident. The iron tinge of blood went into their nose, as they stiffened. She sat back up in the car, and pulled her hair into a ponytail. She looked into the rearview mirror, fixing her make up to look as though everything was fine, before attempting to smile in it.

"It'll be over with soon. It will. They have no more arguments against you. You don't need it. It doesn't need a mother who can't be around it, right?" She smiled wider, before giving up, and putting on her blank face, and starting the car. "Even if I kept it, he wouldn't love it. It's not his." The image cut off, as Embry whimpered lightly.

She's headed to billy's now- Embry said

We're on our way there- Sam said quietly

Jacob ran back towards the Cullens, to get within sight of the building and smelling the bitter smell of blood. Fuck him.

Cassady pulled up in the driveway to Billy's, trying not to break down like she so desperately needed to, but stay strong for the pack that she knew was waiting inside for her. She didn't mean to get pregnant, and she wouldn't have caught on until next week at least, since she didn't start throwing up until a couple of days ago.

She walked in, and was immediately met by the sight of Abby, who was blocking her from the boys. Her eyes were still slightly red from the tear jerking revelation that she gave Paul, who couldn't have been happier. She had a bottle of water in her hand instead of the pepsi she normally would have had. She was stiff, giving Cassady the idea that there was going to be a fight tonight, most likely the pack against her, and she would win.

"Cassady," Abby said softly, touching her arm, as Cassady jerked back from her, a cold look pushing everyone back.

"No, he made his choice. I've made mine. I can't raise this baby by myself," Cassady said quietly, laying her hand on her stomach, before removing it, and crossing her arms across her chest.

"Abortion is not the answer, Cassady!" Seth snapped from across the room, where he sat tensely, watching the scene unfold. "That's family in there, and I'm not letting you do this without a fight!"

"It's useless, Seth, I've made up my mind, and I'm not changing it any time soon," Cassady walked into the room, standing at the fireplace, looking at each person in the room individually. Seth, Sam, Embry, Quill, Emily, Abby, Leah, Collin, Brady, Jared, Billy, Paul, and Sue had their eyes on her.

"Cas, it's just a baby," Quill said in a pleading voice, creating a shiver down Cassady's back.

"It's not a baby yet," Cassady snapped, trying to reign in her emotions.

"At least wait until the first ultra sound before you decide, please!" Seth pleaded, a tear sliding down his face.

"What is with you guys? It's Jacob and I's descision, and I've decided to abort." Sam walked over to her, and put his hands on her shoulders. Before she could grasp what he was doing, he shook her hard a couple times, before dragging her to him. Tears fell from both Sam and Cassady, as she slowly progressed from silent tears to a heart breaking sob.

"I can't keep it, Sam. I can't keep this baby, and know that it's father hates me for taking him from her. From knowing that his father will drop in once a week fuck his mother, and leave. I can't do it." Sam rubbed her back as she cried, looking at Billy, who was rubbing his face.

"Could you do that to me, Cassady?" Billy said quietly, as Cassady pulled back from Sam, still crying, to look at him. She looked him in the eyes, tears flowing freely as he held out his arms. She kneeled down, and hugged him, crying in to him, as he petted her hair.

"You're like a daughter to me, and that is my grandchild. Jacob may not care, or he may not want to know, but I would like to know my grandchild. I never thought I'd live to see him or her carried, or born, and I will. Please don't deny me that chance." Cassady felt her defenses break, and she shook in silent sobs, as she nodded. She wouldn't abort.

There was a sigh of relief from most of the group, as they watched their Alpha break down. She held strong, and would have continued, if not for the baby, or this current fight. A knock on the door broke the concentration on her, as Sam walked over briskly opening the door to reveal Jacob covered in blood, eyes wide, and panting.

"She's dead." He muttered, running his hands over face, smearing blood that he didn't know he had on his hands.

"She's fucking dead," He muttered again, falling to his knees, closing his eyes, as he shook. Sam looked down at him, teeth bared, as he grabbed him by the collar and shook him. Jacob's eyes opened to show the shock at what was going on. Sam shook him hard, and long before tossing him into a tree across the street, stalking outside.

"I should fucking kill you," Sam snarled, as Cassady put her hand on his shoulder.

"She's not fully dead, is she, Jacob?" Cassady whispered softly, looking at him coldly.

"She's dead to me," He whispered, looking her in the eyes to show the hurt, and fear. Cassady shook her head, and grabbed his arms, pulling him to her, and lifting him as best as she could.

"He changed her on our land," Sam snarled, ready to attack, only for Cassady to raise her hand.

"No fighting. Treaty was broken, but now they owe me a favor, a massive favor, and Jacob has no claim to it. I can use it, if I need it," Cassady said coldly, as she drug Jacob back in the house, where she preceded to dump him on the sofa. She got in his face, her finger in front of him.

"You listen to me, Jacob Black. This is your child, and I am bearing it. You will be a father, if you don't want that bitch to die even slower than she did when she gave birth. I'm sick of this, and I'm sick of your excuses. You will grow up, and it will happen NOW!" Cassady snapped her fingers as Jacob flinched. "I'm assuming that bastard child lived, otherwise you would have said something by now. You and I will head up there in exactly a weeks time to check, because to be truthful, any time before then, I might just attack them. I love you, and where that might not mean much to you, it means a lot to me. " Cassady looked at Sam, who nodded.

"I'll be staying here, as to ease some of the imprinting pain that we've been feeling to try and make BOTH of us think clearly, but don't be confused Jacob, you have a lot to EARN back, including pack trust." Cassady stood up straight looking at everyone. " Are we ordering pizza tonight?" Sam nodded. "Ok, Jacob, go take a HOT shower, that should ease some of your muscles, and make it a little better. By then the pizza should be here. There will be no comments tonight about HER, or the BABY, and no hostility from the pack. He is a brother to the pack, no matter the damage. We forgive, and it'll take a while, but we forget. Got it?" Everyone nodded, including Jacob, who was trying to get up and get to the bathroom.

Cassady went in to the kitchen, grabbing the phone and dialing the pizza place, ordering 20 different pizzas, and 2 of each kind. The total was almost $400, causing Cassady to laugh as she asked to have that delivered. She heard someone walk in behind her, startling her for a second, before she realized it was Paul.

"What is it, Paul?" Cassady asked, sighing lightly, as the amount of crap that day came down on her.

"I've been so busy with Abby," he started, " and not wanting to get in your drama with Jacob, I never got to know you. I made assumptions, and thoughts based on what I thought I knew about you, and what I knew about Jacob. I was wrong."

"I thought you would fall under pressure again, and you held. I trusted you with my life yes, but not my faith. I do now. Even though you had every reason to kick Jake out of the pack and walk away, you didn't. You kept going, kept fighting to keep the pack together. I have to thank you for that, and I'm sorry that I didn't get to know you like the others did."' Cassady nodded, hugging him.

"You're a good kid, Paul. Just don't hurt Abby, if you do, I have to kill you. You realize that, right?" Paul nodded, laughing. They walked back in the living room to find Leah and Abby singing ring around the rosie.

"Death and destruction!" Emily called out, laughing as they fell on their butts, blinking at each other before giggling hysterically. Cassady sat on the sofa, watching as the pack joked about with Sue, and Billy; the anger, hurt and fear diminishing, but not going away. Take things one at a time, and it will get better, won't it?

A/N: UH OH! SHE'S PREGGO! lmao. Bella's a vampire, and Jacobs in the dog house again. Oh no! Paul and Cassady finally have a moment, a tiny moment, but a moment! lmao. So, what happens next?

Will Cassady cash in her favor and for what? What does Jacob think? What will happen to the relationship, now that she has a kid in it? And am I the only one that seems to absolutley love Billy?
