Jacob and Bella

Chapter: 8 My Hero

Jacob's P.O.V.

I heard one of the guys yell "I got his scent".

"Where are you"? I yelled.

"The north side of the reservation Turtle Creek Point", we all ran to where Paul said he picked up his scent, I sniffed.

"Where does it lead"? I asked him.

"Down there that old fisherman's shack".

"Okay it's almost dawn, stay alert"; we edged downward and surrounded the shack.

Stop and listen I told everyone. Everyone got quiet. I hear her, I told them. Be careful.

We pushed the door opened and I edged in as the others followed.

The smell hit me and burnt my nose. Then something hit me and I flew down the hall and I hit the wall and slid down to the floor, I jumped up looking around I didn't sense or see anything.

I looked at the pack, "what was that"? I asked them. "We didn't see: Sam said. "What ever he is he is fast", as the pack growled.

Then he appeared the pack dove for him but he was to fast. I ran to one of the doors and slammed into it as it gave way to my strength.

"JACOB"! Bella screamed. I stood in front of Bella as the vampire known as Marco stood across the room.

"I'm going to kill you wolf and take your woman for my own, he said. I growled and I jumped aiming for his throat. He moved and smacked me up side of my head. I slammed into the wall.

The pack went after him as well as he dance all over the small room they all missed again. The next thing I knew he had Bella out of her chains and held her up by her throat in front of him. He did all of this in a split second.

"Back down" I yelled at the pack and they all backed down and stood around growling and pacing the floor. He laughed and smelled Bella's head. "Mmm", he moaned "she smells so good Jacob". I phased to human form.

"LEAVE HER ALONE"! I screamed.

"She's mine Jacob".

"NO SHE NOT GET AWAY FROM HER"! I screamed again. He looked at me and laughed and leaned down and bit her.

"NO"! I screamed as he bolted to the door in a blur but he stopped abruptly as Edward had him, he ripped his head off with one swift swipe with his teeth and Marco fell to the floor in two pieces.

Bella fell to the floor as well, screaming "it's burning".

"Bella", I screamed and ran to her side. "Bella honey, I bent down and held her in my arms as the tears fell down my face. Edward ran over to me and touched my shoulders.

I can help her, he said in his velvety voice. I looked up at him. I have to hurry Jacob. I looked down at Bella as she was screaming in pain and handed her to him. He sank his teeth into the same holes that Marco made and sucked out the venom.

Carlisle walked in and stooped down next to Edward and was talking to him, I couldn't understand what he was saying, I heard Sam till the pack to burn the pieces.

"What's he doing"? I yelled at Carlisle.

"He is saving her Jacob". And he turned his attention back to Edward.

Edward, he said. He shook him.

Edward, Carlisle yelled.

Edward dropped her and fell back away from Bella as she lay unconscious and Carlisle took over.

He opened his bag and started an I.V. of blood to replace that that Edward drank.

When he finished he look at me.

Take her home and I will meet you there, Carlisle said.

He went to Edward to care for him.

I picked up Bella and carried her home. I laid her on the sofa, I (didn't want to put her on the bed with Ephraim asleep,) I hung the blood bag on the lamp.

I bent down in front of her and kissed her on the forehead. "Bella", I whispered. Come back to me my love, I held on to her hand and kissed her knuckles and prayed that she would be okay as the tears flowed down my face. I can't loose you again my Bella, Please come back to me.

Billy rolled into the room. "Is she going to be okay son"? He asked. "I don't know dad, Carlisle is on his way". "Have faith my son, she is a strong woman", he said. And patted me on the back. "I will be in with my room if you need me", he said.

"Thanks dad", I told him as Billy rolled away.

"I won't leave your side Bella, I'm right here honey". And I kissed her forehead.

Carlisle walked in with the pack. He walked over to Bella and I moved out of the way. I waited for Carlisle to finish what he was doing. Carlisle looked over to me.

"She'll be just fine Jacob. I am so sorry, if I knew I would have never let him in town", he said.

"Not now Carlisle". I walked up to Bella and sat on the sofa next to her and held her hand.

"I'll be back in an hour to remove the I.V.", Carlisle said and left.

Were out of here too Jake, well check on Bella in the morning, Sam said. I nodded my head in response and they left. I sat there with Bella's hand to my lips starring at her. I almost lost her I keep thinking. My god, how would I live without my Bell as the tears ran down my cheek and rested on her hand. "I love you baby", I said to her not knowing if she could hear me or not.

Embry and Quill came in "everyone went home but we thought we would stick around incase were needed". I didn't say anything, okay Jake will be outside if you need us.

I didn't take my eyes off of Bella. A little while later I heard Ephraim calling me but I didn't move, I will not leave Bella. Then I heard dad go to the door and yell at Em and Quill,

Go get Ephraim and keep him company till Jake can handle him, He told them.

Sure Billy as they went and got him and took him out the back way so he didn't see his mother on the sofa.

I sat there next to her waiting for her to wake up. Bells honey wake up, can you hear me, please wake up as the tears still ran down my face. I kissed her hand again. Bella please come back to me baby and her eyes flickered. Honey I said.

Bella's P.O.V.

I could hear Jacob like he was far away calling to me. He was getting closer. "Bells come back to me baby", I heard him say. I tried to open my eyes. "Honey", he said. I tried again. My eyes starred into Jacobs tear stained face.

"Baby", he said.

"Jacob".

"I'm here honey", he cried with tears streaming down his face.

"I knew you would come", I cried. He smiled and leaned down and kissed me.

"You bet your ass. No bloodsucker will ever steal my woman", he said.

I looked at my arm and followed the tube up to the lamp, "what is that"? I asked Jake.

"You lost some blood honey, Carlisle putting it back. He'll be back in a little while to take out the I.V.". I touched my neck, "Ouch", I cried.

"Don't touch it baby". I looked up at Jake. "He bit me"? I asked.

"Yes, but your fine now"

.

"How am I alive"? I asked him.

"Edward", he said.

"Edward"? I said surprised.

"Yeah he kind of saved you", he chuckled, and "he saved my life"? I said surprised.

"He sucked the venom out of you", I looked at him in horror. "Your okay now honey".

Jacob took his hand and covered his face then wiped the tears from his face. I reached up and touched the side of his face as he grabbed my hand and held it there.

"I'm alright baby", I told him. He smiled at me, as we starred into one another's eyes.

"You're a beautiful wolf", I told him. He chuckled and said "I'm glad you approve", he smiled at me. Who's the black one? I asked.

Sam, he said.

"He's huge" I said.

"Are you trying to get my mind off things"? He asked me.

"Yeah", I chuckled as Carlisle walked in.

"Hello Bella, how are you feeling"?

"A little tired".

"That is to be expected". "I'll take the I.V. out now and I want you to get some rest to regain your strength".

"Excuse me Jacob", he said, as Jake moved out of the way and Carlisle took out the I.V. and put a band aid on my arm and pitching the I.V. bag into his bag. He checked my pulse and shook his head up and down looking at Jacob.

"You will be just fine Bella, just rest" he said. He got up to leave.

"Carlisle", I called. He turned around to face me.

"Yes Bella".

"Tell Edward thanks for me," I said. He smiled at me.

"I will Bella, get some rest". And he left.

Jacob walked over to me and picked me up.

"What are you doing"? I asked him.

"Putting your to bed. He carried me to our room and laid me on the bed and he covered me up. He put his hand on the side of my face kissed my forehead and told me to get some sleep.

I grabbed his hand.

Lay with me for awhile? I asked.

"Okay honey". He laid down next to me and put me on his shoulder and wrapped his arm around me as he squeezed me a little and I squeezed him back and he kissed my forehead again and said, go to sleep baby and I dosed off.

When I woke up it was getting dark outside.

Jacob wasn't beside me. I sat up and I felt a little dizzy. I put my feet on the floor and sat there a minute I stood up and grabbed the dresser Whoa; I said almost falling back on the bed.

I stood there for a minute till I got my bearings and I walked to the door I opened it and walked down the hall to the living room. Jake jumped up.

"What are you doing up"? He asked.

I don't want to lie in bed any more, I whined. He helped me to the sofa and held on to me till I sat down and then joined me.

"How are you feeling honey"?

"A little weak but I'm okay", I smiled of him.

"Mommy", Ephraim yelled.

"Hi sweetie", I picked him up, and hugged him.

"Mommy boos, boo" he pointed to my neck.

"Yeah mommy got a boo, boo". I smiled at him and hugged him, "I missed you sweetheart", "and I haven't seen you in two days".

I played with him for a little while and he started yawning. "Oh my goodness such a big yawn".

"Okay little man time for bed", Jake said. "come on". I kissed him as Jacob took him to bed. He came back and sat down beside me and put his arm around me and pulled me to him. I looked up at him. "You okay honey"?

"I'm fine now".

"I was worried about you earlier", he said.

"I'm sorry Jacob I seem to be doing nothing but hurting you".

"Hey what happened to you last night wasn't your fault, I was supposed to be watching you and I messed up I let him get to you".

"It wasn't your fault either Jake, you can't protect me 24-7", I told him. What happened happen I'm just glad you got there when you did. I should have been more careful".

"I want to put someone in the shop to help you", he said.

"Funny you said that, I was thinking about hiring someone to help me so I could get out of there sooner", I chuckled.

"That's great honey, then that's what will do", he said.

A couple of weeks went by. Jake stayed with me all the time…. even at the shop…. he wanted to make sure I was alright so…. he helped me a lot at the shop…. of coarse I had to deal with the ladies always flirting with him… but I know he loves me and when they did flirt he would look over his shoulder and wink at me and smile…. I would just shake my head and smile back.

He asked Quill and Embry if one of them wanted to make some extra money and they were all over that idea…. they fought trying to say that one needed more than the other so…. I solved that problem real fast…. I hired both of them…. their really a big help. It turned out Quill was really good in the kitchen. Embry works out in front making coffee and being cashier, he's really good at pushing the food on people especially the ladies…. he's a big flirt. The business picked up immensely, Quill and I bake constantly to keep up with demand plus for the next day.

But the main thing is that I felt safe and Jacob was at ease, I take Ephraim with me to work a lot as well, I set up a little play area for him to play and some days Jake would take him to work on cars. It was cute to watch Jake trying to teach him about cars. My boys.

Alice and Edward stopped by one day. "Bella" Alice squealed, and ran up to give me a hug. "How are you Alice"?

"I'm great, how about you how are you doing"?

"I'm great as well", I told her.

"But we don't see you any more", she whined.

"I'm kind of been a little busy Alice with the shop and Ephraim", I looked over to him and smiled and my spare time I spend with Jacob you know", I told her.

"Yeah I understand. I guess I'll have to come here to see you from now on", she said.

"Yeah we can sit and have coffee and talk". I told her.

"Well you can drink coffee", she laughed.

"Oh yeah", I giggled.

"Well we won't keep you I just want to make sure you were okay".

"Thanks Alice I am fine".

"Okay talk to you later", she said as she started to leave.

"Bye Alice", Edward never said one word the whole time they were there, so I called him before he walked out of the shop.

"Edward", I called.

He turned and looked back at me, "yes Bella".

"Thank you, for what your did for me", I smiled at him.

"Your welcome Bella", he smiled back, and he turned and left with Alice.

When I turned around I almost tripped over Embry, "Oh", I cried. He smiled at me, I smiled at him and patted him and the cheek, knowing he was watching out for me. "Thanks Embry".

"For what", he said.

"For watching out for me", I said.

He smiled "no problem Bells", he said as I went into the kitchen.

Charley and Sue came in a lot for coffee, I was glad to see them. I didn't have a lot of time to see Charley and I was glad he came in a lot. Besides he played a lot with Ephraim, Ephraim loved his grandpa, both of them. I make sure Charley get to spend time with him as well.

Jacob and I did get married finally. Charley kept Ephraim for that weekend and Jacob and I spent the weekend in that log cabin I mentioned at the beginning of this story. We decided not to live there though, we decided to stay with Billy, which he was happy about. But we did finally get Ephraim his own room and monitor and all.

Jake and I had another child, a son and even with getting woke up in the middle of the night a lot, Jacob didn't seem to mind at all. Most of the times he would tell me to go back to sleep that he would get him. Watching Jacob with his sons amazes me he is the perfect father he loves being with them any time of day or night we called our second son Charles William after his grandpa's they were both elated.

We are happy Jacob loves his family as I do. He shows us love all the time and he loves his sons. He's never been one to hide his affection especially to me no matter where were at. I just think he wants to let other guys know that I'm taking and I'm his, which is fine with me, I am his and he is mine. Jacob and I will be together till the end of our days and that's okay by me as well.

THE END.
