Jacob and Bella

Chapter 5

The Reengagement

I woke early the next morning Ephraim was still asleep and so was Jacob I tried to sneak out of the bed without waking either of them, but Jake grabbed me.

"Where you going"? He asked, "Come here" as he laid me back on the bed and tucked me as close to him as he could possible get me; he wrapped his arms around me.

"I want to feel you next to me honey" as he kissed me softly "mmm baby" he moaned.

He stroked his hand up my leg slowly and with every inch he touched my skin tingled,

Warm sensations traveled through my body, slowly his body bucked into me and I could feel

His arousal and how bad he was in needed some relief and I was more than happy to oblige.

He pulled my leg up and over his thigh and slowly pushed my leg to his waist,

"Jake" I moaned as he kissed me harder, Oh God how I missed his touch and his warmth as his

Lips pressing against my own, he kissed me down my neck and nibbled on my ear,

"I love you so much Bella" He whispered "Oh Jake I love you too",

leaning back and pressing against my lips once again, Oh My God I was on fire with desire for this beautiful bronze man who laid next to me,

This man who chose me over any woman he could have had,

My Jacob…. My love…..My life….My reason for living.

"Daddy" a sweet little voice heard waffling through our room,

We pulled our self apart, looking into one another's eyes, then across the room to see Ephraim starring at Jake, We dropped our heads on the pillow and sighed,

"I'm sorry honey" I told Jake with a smile,

"We need to make a nursery" Jacob said, disappointed, "I'm sorry honey" I said again, he smiled at me and gave me a soft peck.

"I'll get him baby" as I kissed him back and jumped up and grabbed Ephraim.

"Daddy" he said again, holding his little hands out to his daddy.

"Give him here baby" he said holding his arms out to take his son with a big smile.

I handed him to Jake, as Ephraim said "daddy" again and lay down next to his daddy, Jake put his arm around his son and smiled and kissed him on the head as Ephraim cuddled next to his daddy it was the most precious moment I had ever seen.

Daddy love you son, Jacob said with a sparkle in his eyes but you sure got bad timing he chuckled.

I laid down behind Jake and wrapped my arms around his waist and kissed his neck, "I love you baby", I told him, "I love you to honey" he replied, reaching back with his hand and placing it behind my head and pulling my head next to his and hugging my head to his.

After we were all up we ate breakfast and showered and went to pick up Quill and Embry, we went to the shop, and I took Ephraim inside as the guys got all the cleaning supplies out of the trunk and carried them in.

We cleaned everything all the dishes we ran through the dish washer and we cleaned counters and shelf's and tables and moped the entire kitchen floor and stair way.

We took all the books and wiped the dust off each one and we sent out for lunch and we worked all through the day until dinner time.

I found the table cloth's but I threw them in a trash bag to take them home to laundry before placing them on the tables and the place was spic and span and I made a list of things I needed to replace like curtains for the windows and some light blubs and candles for the tables.

In one of the drawers I found a list of vendors with phone numbers I would call them and see if they were still in business later I thought to myself and I also found a directory of the books on the shelf which I will check it later as well to see what books needed to be ordered.

I still need to go to the court house to see about getting the license and make the appointment for the board of health to come out. And I still haven't chosen a name yet.

The guys were throwing name at me trying to help me decide but none sounded that appealing to me.

Maybe Swans café and bookstore, I said.

Jacob walked up to me and wrapped his arms around my waist god just looking at him makes me melt in my tracks he looked into my eyes "but your name won't be Swan much longer" he smiled and gave me a soft peck on my lips and he continued "it won't will it? You are going to still marry me aren't you"?

"I didn't think you still wanted to do that anymore", I told him sadly, lowering my head and leaning against his chest and thought I don't deserve this man.

He placed his hand under my chin and raised it to look at him and he stroked my face with his finger.

"Of coarse I do baby I love you I want to be with you the rest of our lives" as tear ran down my cheek and he wiped it away with his finger.

"Will you marry me Bells won't you? He asked again.

After all this time I couldn't believe he still wanted to marry me.

After all I had put him through. The entire heart ache.

After keeping his son from him. He still wanted to marry me.

I looked deep into his eyes, "Yes Jacob I will marry you". he smiled at me with those brilliant white teeth and placed his lips to mine and kissed me hard so hard I thought my lips would bruise but I didn't care the love of my life still wanted to marry me he still loved me as much as I loved him.

When he released my from our kiss he looked at me. "Let's see if we can get through it this time" he laughed.

"We will" I told him.

"Here" he said, grabbing my left hand and placing the ring back on my finger he gave me oh so long ago.

His mother's ring he entrusted to me and I left sitting on the counter at the house when I left the last time.

"It will never leave my finger again" I promised and he kissed my hand with the ring on it.

"Your mine Bella forever" and drew me in for a huge hug.

"I love you Jacob Black" and I love you Isabella Swan he pulled away and smiled.

"Let get home" he said.

We gathered up the guys and Ephraim and headed home.

"We still haven't picked a name for the shop", I told him.

We have time my love" he said confidently.

After dropping the guys off and getting home Jacob grabbed me into another hug and looking into my eyes "tomorrow we give Ephraim his own room we get one of those monitors so we can here him if he needs us" he smiled.

"Good idea baby and you can run back and forth and check on him all night because you will worry if his okay or not" I said with a laugh.

He grinned really big knowing I was right "we will figure something out" he said laughing.

We went into the kitchen and started dinner.

I was thinking about today and how Jacob still wanted to marry me. I smiled at the thought of being Jacobs's wife and that made me so happy.

"Bella" I heard I looked up and seen Billy "Oh I said I'm sorry I was deep in thought.

"So it seems are you alright"? He asked.

I smiled at him; yes I am thanks.

He looked down to my hand as I was cutting vegetables.

"I see Jake gave you the ring back" he smiled.

I looked at the ring and smiled "yes he did" as I looked up at Billy.

"I am very happy for you both, he said.

I stood there a second thinking.

"Billy"

"Yes Bella"

"Can I ask you something"?

"You may ask me anything Bella"

I paused for a second more biting my bottom lip then continued,

"The imprinting thing"

"Yes what about it"? He said.

Is it as powerful as I heard it was?

"Let me ask you something first Bella before I answer your question".

"Okay anything" I said.

"When you were gone how often did you think of Jake"? When he asked me that it brought back memories of that terrible time and I cringed and then answered,

"Every minute….every second….it almost drove me insane being away from him is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life" I told him sadly.

"Did you ever think about another man the whole time you were gone"? He asked me.

"No! Of coarse not" I almost felt insulted that he asked me that but I knew it was Billy and didn't mean it in a bad way so I calmed myself.

"Did you not wonder why you couldn't think about anyone other than Jake"? I thought for a minute and answered him "I missed him so bad I really never wondered if it was the imprinting thing I just missed him I love him, with all my heart".

"But most people start to heal, start to get over a loved one after so long and you were gone two years and you never got over Jake the love was still strong and binding".

I looked at him in thought.

"What you felt was the pull of the bond between you and Jake and you had the easy part.

"Easy part"? I said in shock it didn't feel that easy to me I though.

"Yes, think about that for a minute Jake imprinted on you if you want to know what imprinting is I'll tell you but you won't like it"? He said as he bowed his head and then looked back up at me and continued,

"It's like when you see her everything changes, its not gravity holding you to the planet , its her nothing else matters, you would do anything, be anything for her, in this case it was you Bella, the pain of your loss was unspeakable for Jacob, he spiraled out of control",

I stood there listening to him with tears pooling in my eyes as they fell down my face.

He continued, "he would be agitated when he couldn't find you, hardly ever slept and when he did he would wake in the middle of the night sweat pouring off of him and screaming with nightmares, so is it powerful? You tell me", he said.

I stood there in shock looking at Billy tears still flowing down my cheek.

"I never knew, I, I never dreamed I stuttered" as I looked around the room to find something to take my mind away from the image of Jacob in so much pain and I looked back at Billy.

"I didn't know Billy if I had I never would have" I stopped I couldn't bare the thought of Jacob so distraught all because of me tear flowing more steady I couldn't finish my sentence,

"I am sorry Bella I didn't mean to be so forward about it but you did ask. Jake will be upset with me for telling you" he said.

"No its okay Billy I wanted to know thank you".

"Your welcome child" he said as he went to his room and closed his door.

I was horrified my heart broke with the thought of what I really did put Jake through he should hate me I thought but I guess that would be impossible with the imprinting I looked through the door into the living room my poor Jacob how will I ever make this up to him I thought no wonder he asks me constantly were I'm going I threw the vegetables in the pan with the roast put some water in the pan, covered it and slid it in the oven,

I ran to the living room I jumped into Jacob's arms.

"Well hello" he said with a laugh.

I clung to him my arms wrapped around his neck and legs straddling him the tears flowed.

"Bella" he said concerned, "what's wrong" he held me rubbing my back, trying to comfort me, he tried to pull me away to see my face honey he said please tell me what wrong as he rocked me back and forth.

I wouldn't let go.

"Bella please tell me what's wrong please" he begged "talk to me honey"

Without moving I told him "there is no way I will be able to make up for what I did to you Jacob, God I am so sorry and even that isn't good enough" I told him.

"Bella, Bella look at me" I loosened my grip and pulled back to look into his eyes he wiped the tears from my eyes.

"What brought this on Bella"? I didn't say anything; he looked up and into the other room and sighed "Billy" he said.

"Don't blame him I wanted to know just how powerful imprinting was".

"And he told you" he said, shaking his head.

"Yes" I said and there's nothing good enough to make it up to you Jacob as I hugged him again.

"Bella look at me honey" he said again as I pulled back again he sighed "you are back you are with me you gave me a son" he smiled and looked at Ephraim "you agreed to marry me again Just don't ever leave me again and I will be the happiest man alive" he said elated.

"I don't deserve you Jacob Black and I promise I will never ever leave you again even if you want me to go forget it I'm not going anywhere I promise Jacob with my life" he smiled at me and kissed me "I love you Isabella Swan" I smiled at him "I love you Jacob Black".

We looked down at Ephraim who was no longer playing with his toys but sat next to us on the sofa and looked like he was going to cry "mommy" he said, sadly.

I moved off Jacob and said "come here sweetie" as I picked Ephraim. He laid his head on my shoulder.

"Its okay sweetie" as I rocked him back and forth, "mommy's okay". Jacob reached over and stroked his cheek "its okay buddy" Jake told him, and reached over and kissed me and Ephraim on our cheeks Ephraim looked up at me and I smiled at him "you hungry sweetie"? "Hungry" he said with a smile and a shake of his head.

"You want to go to daddy so I can get you something" I asked him; he looked over at Jacob and crawled into his lap.

"Come on little guy lets get you cleaned up for dinner", Jake told him,

After cleaning him up Jake put him in his high chair and I put his dinner in front of him. Jacob sat in the chair next to him and I sat on his lap as he held me and we watched Ephraim eat he must have been hungry for he ate every bite of his dinner and when he had finished I got up and pulled him from his high chair and cleaned him up and put his pajama's on him I had him kiss daddy and grandpa good night and took him and put him to bed I covered him up and hummed to him a lullaby until he fell fast asleep.

I walked out of the bedroom I heard Jake and his dad having words.

"You shouldn't have told her dad" I heard Jacob tell his father.

"She asked me son what was suppose to say she needed to know anyway" Billy told Jacob.

They shut up as I entered the room I looked at Jacob he watched me as I turned and kissed him on the lips and I looked at Jacob in the eyes.

"I'll get your dinner my love" I told him and walked into the kitchen as they both laughed.
