OUT TAKE
JACOB AND BELLA
I woke up with the sun shining in my face, when I opened my eyes I had to cover my eye's which was a surprise considering the sun never shine's here in Washington, it's under constant cloud cover normally. So it must going to be a great day.
Well until it hit me, my stomach started rumbling and moving its way up, I tried to swallow hard, the salve in my mouth was building, I swallowed again, oh shit not again I thought to myself as I tried to get up and Jacobs strong arms around me and I couldn't move. Jacob move hurry, he raised his arms as I bolted to the bathroom, and leaned over the toilet for the fifth time this week.
Jacob followed me and held my hair back, "babies are you okay?" He asked, "I'm fine Jacob,"
"This is the fifth time this week, maybe you should see a doctor or something," Jacob told me.
"I have an appointment this morning" as I looked into Jacobs eyes as he wiped my face with a cold fresh wash cloth. I sat between his legs and leaned my head against his leg and he stroked my hair with his hands, "I'm glad honey, I was really worried about you," I stood up and sat on his lap and wrapped my arms around his neck, don't worry honey its probably just some old flew or something, I jumped up off Jake's knee and brushed my teeth and went to lay on our bed again.
Jacob walked up to me and stooped down next to the bed where I laid and kissed me, he crossed his arms on the bed and set his chin on his arms as he sat there staring into my eyes, I reached over and stroked his hair and smiled at him, "I love you so much Bella," he told me as he reached over and kissed me again more passionately, he looked at me again and told me, "I got to go to work, will you be alright?"
"I will be fine luv don't worry."
"But I do worry there's nothing you can do about that, I love you and I worry, sorry," he chuckled, "I'll call you later to find out what the doctor says," he said.
"Okay baby, have a good day at work sweetie," as he walked at the door.
I laid there for awhile thinking I hated being sick, it's probably something I ate or some stomach thing, I hope… I finally got up and grabbed a pant suit I had decided I was going to wear for my office visit and slipped into the bathroom and jumped into the shower, the water felt good as it ran down my hair and down my back almost like a message.
When I had finished I got out of the shower and went to stand at the mirror and looked at my self, oh god; you look awe full, I opened the medicine cabinet and reached for my birth control pills to take for the day…I paused and stared at them, it couldn't be…I paused again, could it...? I thought, I smiled at myself in the mirror, and replaced them back into the cabinet, If I'm not then I can always take it later.
After my doctors visit I walked out of the building and looked up at the sky and smiled, this day has turned out to be a wonderful day, I'm Going to Have Jake's Baby! I screamed in my head, so excited. And Jake is going to be so happy, That's all he talks about is after we get married he wants to start to have a family right away, he wants a son, hell he wanted a whole baseball team and I put a stop to that really fast. One or two was my limit, well maybe three, I giggle.
I got into the car and stopped by the store, I wanted to make Jake his favorite dinner to night to celebrate, I was so excited I couldn't stop smiling, I touched my belly and spoke to the baby, "Your daddy is going to be so happy when he finds out about you," I giggled again.
I got everything I needed from the store and filled my prescription for prenatal vitamins and headed home to start baking.
I made Jake his favorite Lasagna and apple pie for desert,
J.P.O.V.
When I left Bella at the house I couldn't help worrying about her she had been sick all week, I hope it's nothing serious, (mental note call Bella later and see if she's okay).
I got at the shop and Embry was there, "Where's Quill?" I asked. "He'll be here he had a ruff night, Clair's been sick," he told me, I looked at him, man what's going on Bella's been sick all week as well, I said.
"Must be something going around man, I hope I don't get it," he said. Just then Quill walked in.
"How's Clair?" I asked him.
"She was up all night puking her guts out man, her mom's taking her to the doctor today," he said.
"Yeah I was just telling Em that Bella's been sick all week as well and she's going to the doctor today as well."
"I don't know man something's going around." As we got to work.
It was late afternoon when we heard it, the howl screeched out of the woods as the boys and I stared at each other and closed down shop and cut out to the woods and phased.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Vampire," Sam cried out, "But we got him."
"Look around make sure there aren't any stragglers, who's with you?"
There was a pause…..Then he answered, "Leah," he said.
I sighed…"Sam man."I cried.
"I know but we had to talk, we had to get this out in the open, I'm tired of seeing her hurt so bad."
"Well did you get it worked out?" I asked.
"No," he said aggravated.
"Where is she now?" I asked him.
"I don't know, when she heard you phase she cut out."
"This is got to stop, she's messing with the Pack, but the hell if I know what to do, so anyway check the area and make sure to burn the pieces I'm going home."
"Okay Jake, have a good night,"
"Thanks man you too."
I don't know what to do about Leah, hell one minute she's whining and crying about Sam and the next she's trying to tell me she's in love with me, Bella about had a heart attack over that one, She better leave her hands off of you, she screamed, with her hand on her hip, she is cute when she gets mad, all I could do is laugh. Oh shit Bella I was supposed to call her, I reached for my cell phone when it rang, I flipped it open, the Clearwater's flashed across the screen, I answered.
"Hello."
"Jake man you better get over here."
"What's going on Seth?"
"Leah's going nuts man she's destroying mom's house, Come Now! Please."
"I'm on my way." I told him, man this is nuts why does she have to be so evil, I thought to myself. I headed to the Clearwater's and knocked on their door.
Seth opened the door.
"Hey Jake," come on in, he stepped out of the way and I walked in, the house was shamble, I shook my head, "Where is she?" I asked.
"She just cut out man she took two bottles of some shit she was drinking, man I love her and all but she loosing it like she's crazy or something Jake, I'm really worried about her, thank god mom wasn't here."
"Come on Seth I'll help you clean up." We cleaned up and I left on the search for Leah, I knew she liked the beach and that's where I had found her the few time's I've had to talk to her before, but I was done this was it I have had enough, she either listens to me or I'll have to tell her she has to leave. She has been messing with the Pack's heads to distraction and I have had enough, it ends here tonight.
I walk to the beach and sure enough there she sat half dressed, just her shorts and nothing else, breast hanging all out and shit, man she has lost it. I walked over to her and picked up her shirt and through it at her.
"Put it on, I demanded in my Alpha voice she put it on but never buttoned it.
"Leah what's going on now?"
"Go away Jake," she said hatefully.
"No Leah I won't, this is getting out of hand and we have to settle this here and now, one way or the other this ends tonight," I told her.
"What are you talking about Jake?" she looked at me with blood shot eyes and deep dark circles under her eyes.
"Look, Leah I know your hurting but this is going to far your disrupting the Pack, we can't do our job if were having to listen to your disgusting monologue all the damn time. Your driving the Pack crazy, and what the deal with destroying your mom's house?"
She shrugged her shoulders, "I felt like hitting something after Sam and I talked and instead of hitting someone, I hit things," she said.
"Thing's your mom's furniture,"
"Better that than Seth," she said nonchalantly.
"Seth….you almost hit Seth, your little brother, don't you see there's a problem here if you almost hit your own brother Leah."
"I can't help what I feel Jake," she began to cry and took a swig of the alcohol she had with her, "Sam threw me over and then you did the same thing, So why don't you go back to your little woman and leave me the fuck alone!" she screamed.
"Leah you know how the imprinting works it not anything new to you, and you never had me to start with, you know I love Bella and you know were getting married in a month, you've known this as long as you've known me how I feel about Bella, So why all of a sudden is it that your in love with me, I think your just lonely but you'll never find anyone with the attitude you have now, you need to straighten up and push all this out of your mind and find someone that deserves you Leah."
"You deserve me Jake," she leaned over to me and kissed me,"
"Stop it Leah." I told her.
"Okay fine go Jake leave me alone run back to your wife and leave me alone."
"Leah I told you that this ends now and that's what I meant, if you don't stop this craziness I'm sending you to the Makah reservation to stay with your aunt until you are better.
She looked at me in fear, "You can't do that!" she yelled.
"I can and I will, this is getting out of hand Leah, it stops now!" I yelled through my teeth.
She stared off into the sunset and didn't say a word.
"I've got to get home to Bella, she's been sick, Leah," I said trying to get her attention. She turned her head and looked at me with a sad look on her face, I really felt sorry for her but this had to stop, I laid my hand on her face, "I meant what I said Leah," I told her.
I started to walk off when she called me. "Jake."
"What is it Leah?"
"Will you at least have one drink with me before you go….please?" She said so pitiful, I sighed and held out my hand for her to hand me the bottle, she handed me the one by her feet with a grin, I shook my head and took a big swig of what I thought was Rum.
"Whoo! I coughed out, what the shit, where did you get this shit? Mexico, that's stronger than shit."
She giggled and said, "It's good isn't it, I add a little of this and that to it to make it stronger, with our wolf abilities it takes to much to cop a buzz so I add a little something to it to spice it up a bit, Go on Jake hit it again,"
My dumb ass hits it again, and then I start seeing double I fall over on Leah as she holds me up and laughs.
"What's the matter Jake can't hold your liquor," she laughed.
The next thing I know is I'm laid out flat on the rock and I look up and someone is rocking on me, I can't get my head clear, "Bella," I call out, "Yes my love, do you like this?"
"God yes," I moaned, Oh MY God Baby I'm close," as I start pumping into her, I grab her hips and dig my fingers into her hip and push myself into her harder as she screams "Yes Jake, Yes!: I reach up and nibbled on her breast, "Oh Baby, that feels so good," as she pushes me back down and kisses me passionately, "Oh God Baby I'm Coming…..Ahhhhhh," I screamed, and laid back breathing hard, Bella I whispered.
"Bella's ass," Leah say's climbing off of me and getting dressed, "I bet she doesn't fuck you like that," she said as she stumbled down the beach.
I tried to sit up and clear my head but I couldn't I laid back down and stared at the sky and then darkness over took me.
The next thing I remember is someone calling my name, "Jake, Jake, wake up man, what the hell are you doing," Sam said.
I tried to open my eyes, it took a few times but finally got them opened. "Sam" I said,
"Yeah it's me what are you doing out here? And why are you naked?" he asked.
I looked at myself, trying to get myself focused. "I don't know man," as I fell off the rock and tried to get up with no luck.
"Come on man lets get you home," he got me dressed and threw me over his shoulders after trying to get me to walk with no luck and carried me home, he walked into the house which was quiet and yelled for Bella, Billy but no one answered, so he carried me into my room and threw me on the bed. That's all I remember until I woke the next morning.
When I woke up I sat up fast I looked over and Bella wasn't there, "Bella," I cried out, "Ohhh," I held my head, who hit me I thought. I slowly threw my feet over the side of the bed and sat there a minute, man what the fuck happened to me last night, I tried to remember, it was coming to me slowly, Bella and I having sex on the beach…..No…..wait….it started coming back to me…..LEAH! that little bitch…Okay I started thinking Bella will understand she knows how Leah's been lately I'll just explain what she did….thinking again, what did she do? She must have drugged one of the bottles she had to have….wait she said she added something to them to so it would have a better affect to them with us having all that restraint against liquor…. She did drug me, she's used to drinking that shit where I'm not it hit me harder than it would her, fuck, fuck. I'm fucked…..
Part 2 of the OUT TAKE
I walked out of the bedroom and Billy was in the kitchen.
"Hard night son?" he said with a little laugh.
"You have no idea," I told him.
"Where's Bella?" I asked him.
"I have no idea, I thought she was in there with you," he said.
"No she wasn't," I said getting a little worried, "She's been sick where would she go?"
"I've been up sense five a.m. she hadn't come out of your room," he said. I ran back into my room and looked around the room, I opened her drawers and her stuff was gone and ran to the closet opened it again her stuff was gone…."Bella," I cried. I ran back to the kitchen and told dad.
"Her stuff is gone, her clothes everything of hers is gone, why would she leave me dad?"
"Did you do anything son to make her leave?"
"No, at least nothing she could possibly know about,"
"What have you done son?"
"Nothing I swear, I went down to the beach to talk to Leah, she's been acting up again, she drugged me pops I didn't know what I was doing and she took advantage of me, but she would have known that, it just happened last night."
"Are you sure about that son?"
"No, but she wouldn't leave me without talking about it first, so I could explain, would she?"
"I don't know son. If she was hurt really bad, you know how she runs from her problems. I wish I could help you son, but I really don't know why she left. Call Charley maybe she's there," He told me.
"Yeah, that's probably where she's at," I picked up the phone and dialed Charley.
"Hello,"
"Charley its Jake, is Bella there with you?"
"No, I haven't seen her in a couple of days, is everything alright over there Jake?"
"Yeah, she must have got up early and went to see one of her friends. If she calls you will you have her call me, I'm kind of worried about her. She hasn't been feeling to well and I just want to make sure she's okay.
"Not feeling well?"
"Yeah there's bug going around or something, she went to the doctor yesterday but I haven't talked to her sense. I know Clair has the same thing, but I want to make sure she okay, so will you have her call me if you hear from her please?"
"Jake it doesn't sound like that's something Bella would do, I mean not talking to you after a doctors appointment and then taking off before you get up, what aren't you telling me Jacob Black?"
"Charley I swear we are fine as far as I know, she must have had something important to take care of." I sighed.
"Okay Jake if I hear from her I'll have her call you but if there's something wrong I want to hear about it, you got that son?"
"Yes sir, you'll be the first to know, thanks Charley," and I hung up.
"Charley giving you a ruff time son?" he laughed. "Yeah, no big deal Look, I got to run to Sam's I need to talk to him about this, I'll talk to you later, if you hear from Bella call me on my cell okay?"
"I will son and I think I'll run to Charley's and tell him what's going on so he wont come out here and shoot you," he laughed. "Thanks pops."
I showed up at Sam's and as I walked in he looked at me angrily, "What," I said. "We need to talk Sam" "Yes I think we do Jake" "Look, last night I went down to talk to Leah, she was having one of her fits after talking to you I might add and she was drinking on the beach when I got there, we talked and she was crying and she wanted me to have a drink with her, but she spiked one of the bottles I took two drinks out of the bottle and I don't remember anything after that, you have to believe me Sam."
Sam looked at me, "She spiked one of the bottles," he said disbelievingly.
"Yes she drugged me Sam, you know how she's been saying she's in love with me, well she drugged me and fucked my brains out and left me lying on the beach and that's when you found me."
Sam sighed, actually that does sound like Leah lately. Come on let's go to the beach where I found you," we walked to the beach and sure enough the bottles still laid there, Sam picked up one of the bottles, "Smells like Rum to me," he said, then he picked up the other one and sniffed it, "Whoo!" He yelled, as he looked at me, "Your right Jake she did drug you I can smell it."
We carried the bottles back to his place as I explained that Bella left and took everything she had with her, I told him I didn't think it was because of what Leah had done that surely she would have talk to me first but he thought the same way dad did.
"If Leah caused Bella to leave me she will pay," I told Sam, "Get the Pack here Sam where having a meeting." Sam got on the phone and called the Pack and told them all to get to his house now.
As they all filed into Sam's including Leah who had a smirk on her face as she walked by me, and I growled at her.
"Leah Front and Center Now!" I said in my Alpha voice. She jumped up and stood in front of the Pack.
"I'm only going to ask this of you once and don't make me use my Alpha command to make you tell the truth," I demanded. "Last night on the beach…did you drug me?"
She paused and looked at me and smiled, "You drank with me Jake, do you really want me to say what we did on the beach lover," she said, I lowered my head and shook it, my anger was rising.
"LEAH! Answer the question," I demanded.
"Yes!" she yelled, "Do you think I could have got you to fuck me if I hadn't," she said loudly. As the Pack inhaled deeply in disbelief.
And each one of the Pack chimed in with there disapproval of what Leah had done, they were dogging her bad as me and Sam stood there watching it unfold. All but Paul who sat and listened to everyone yelling at her, then Paul stood up and yelled. "SHUT UP!" everyone got quiet and looked at Paul.
"Look, what Leah did was uncalled for I agree but she doesn't deserve all of you yelling at her, she has been through a ruff time and I'm not saying that she had the right to do what she did but it's up to Jake to dough out the punishment not all of you, So Shut the Hell Up! Let Jake do what he has to do." And he sat down and the Pack was quiet.
I stood there looking at Paul….then at Leah, "Do you know what you have done Leah?" really not asking a question, "You have destroyed my life, I can't find Bella, I don't know where she is. Last night Sam found me and took me home, he said that Bella wasn't there when he took me home and this morning when I got up she still wasn't there, I've got dad talking to Charley and calling around town to see where she is, but so far there is no sign of her, If she knows about what happened last night I have probably lost her for good, do you know what that means Leah?" again not really asking her a direct question. "She is my imprint if she leaves me and leaves town do you know what that will do to her as well as me?" she looked at me with a worried look, "You have destroyed me Leah, if that was your intention than you have done your job."
"Jake I never" "SHUT UP LEAH!" she lowered her head, and began to cry.
I stood there for a minute trying to think of a way to punish her, but with how I felt there was no punishment good enough for what she had done.
"Can I say something," we heard a voice speak softly from the hall way as we all looked up and saw Emily standing in the hall. Sam spoke up "Emily your not supposed to be in here during meeting," he said, I know Sam but it's hard not to hear what you all are saying when your yelling and I have an Idea," she said.
"Come in Emily," I told her. "What is it you would like to say?" I asked her.
"Thanks Jake," she turned to look at Leah who was still crying, "Leah has been through a lot I agree with Paul and I also agree that she had no right doing what she did to you Jake," she turned to look at me, "I suggest you send her to my mother's on the Makah Reservation for a year, maybe she can get over all the pain and hurt she has felt these few years, and maybe she can be the sweet young woman that I remember as a child. That's all I wanted to say," she said. Sam pulled Emily to him and kissed her head and held her close to him.
Leah stood and looked at Emily like she could kill her, but didn't open her mouth.
I stood there thinking and this is all she gets for destroying me, my Bella is gone the love of my life and I stood there like a pansy ass and a tear ran down my face in front of my Pack. I swallowed hard, and wiped the tears away and straightened my back up and became the Alpha once more. I looked at Leah.
"Leah honestly I don't feel that is good enough punishment for you but if you can get back to your old self again at least one person will survive this, So as Alpha of this Pack I give you a Alpha Command to go to the Makah Reservation and live with Emily's mother for one year and Insist you work on getting better because we will meet again in one years time and I will see for myself if this has worked if it hasn't then you will be ordered to leave here for good never to return is that understood?" I asked her.
"Yes!" She said through her teeth.
"Good, go pack your things and be gone before sunset," I commanded. Leah ran out of the house as fast as she could and Paul on her tail.
"What's up with Paul and Leah?" I asked Sam. "You got me," he shrugged.
The Pack joined in to help me find Bella they checked all her friends to see if they knew where she was and checked out all the places that she hung out like library and bookstores, ect. But came up with nothing I even went to the Cullens and they didn't even know anything at all. Even Alice couldn't see her.
After a week had passed Charley came to me and said he received a note with Seattle's post mark but it said she was on the road and sent it to Charley to let him know she was okay and that she couldn't take it any more and had to get away and that she would let him know where she had settled, which gave me a little hope maybe I could go there and find out what this was all about. I sat on the sofa with my head in my hands and Charley walked up to me and patted me on the back, "Well find her son," were his only words as he left me…
As time went on there was still no word from Bella, Charley put out a APB on her to cover all of the United States, but still nothing, I was sleeping and only ate very little, I misses Bella so much I could hardly stand it I through myself into my work but still I ached all over I cried myself to sleep night after night and prayed that she would come home even if it wasn't to me at least to be in Forks so I would know she would be okay, I was literally falling apart. I would lash out at people for no reason and then have to apologize for being an ass so I pretty much stayed away from people, Sam pretty much ran the Pack he was my Beta and it wasn't like he didn't know what he was doing considering he was Alpha till I took over when I was old enough.
A year had passed and it was time for Leah to come home for her evaluation, So I crawl out from one of my cars I was working on and meet her at Sam's, I walked in and there she stood with Paul at her side, "Paul," I nodded. "Jake," he nodded back.
"Paul why are you here?" I asked.
"I didn't want her to face this alone," he said staring me in my eyes.
"Okay, I know this is none of my business but are you too seeing each other?" I asked.
"Your right it isn't any of your business, but…..yeah we are," he said with a little bit of a smirk.
I chuckled, "That good, that's really good actually, as long as you don't kill each other considering you both have tempers and are stubborn as hell," I laughed and they laughed as well. I looked at Leah.
"Leah," she looked at me, "So how did it go on the Makah Reservation?" I asked.
She lowered her head at first then raised it to look me in the eye. "It went good, I worked through a lot and did a lot of thinking and I think I'm better off, I got over a lot of feeling for Sam, I will always love him but it is over between us and I have come to realize it, he is in love with Emily and I see that now, as for you I think I threw myself at you because of the type of man you are strong and loving, I really never loved you I was trying to feel trying to feel anything, except hurt and in doing that I caused you as much pain as I felt myself and for that I am truly sorry I know that doesn't help much, but I am sorry Jake and I will do anything to make that up to you if ever I can. Paul has been wonderful to me, more than I deserve," as Paul kissed her on the side of the head and she smiled. "He has brought back to me a peace of mind and I love him dearly, I just wish I didn't have to find it the way I did by hurting you," she said with tears streaming down her face. And Paul consoling her.
I lowered my head and thought of Bella, and how much I missed her, and a tear fell from my eye. "Leah I am glad you found your piece of mind and are able to love again, welcome home, but there is one thing I must ask of you,"
"Anything," she said.
"When Bella comes back….."I paused and sighed. "If Bella comes back I must ask you to do what ever I ask of you to show Bella that you have been punished for what you have done, I don't know what it will be yet or even if you will have to do it, but still you must agree to whatever I say,"
"Jake you can't make her do that," Paul said.
"Yes he can baby, I have to atone for what I did for Bella as well," she looked at me and said "I will do whatever I can to makeup for what I have done Jake, I promise."
"Thank you Leah, Paul." And I walked away leaving them together as I went back to the shop.
I called Charley nearly every day to see if he had heard from Bella but he never had he was a stressed out as I was, well maybe not as much but damn near.
I also called her mother at least once a week, I even flew to Florida to her mothers house thinking she was covering for Bella, but at last she wasn't there either.
Charley hired a private investigator to look for her with no luck, the guy said there wasn't much chance in finding her if she wanted to stay invisible she would, but Charley insisted and I was glad because I would have done the same thing.
So I stayed miserable, I thought once of walking out in the ocean and just keep walking until I drowned just so the pain would stop but then thought who would take care of dad if I was gone.
It had been two years and 9 months to the day that My Bella had been gone, Sam was having a party and wanted me to come, I didn't want to go why ruin everyone else's fun with my bruiting, But Sam wouldn't take no for an answer. So I cleaned up and made my way to Sam's,
Everyone was happy to see me; some would ask how I was feeling some would just pat me on the back and say it will get better with time. And I sat there like a bump on log, I was getting ready to tell Sam I was going home when I heard Embry yell from outside, Bella your home, everyone ran out the door including Charley who ran past them all, as he hugged his daughter I stayed in the back of everyone and looked at the most beautiful sight I could ever lay my eyes on. And I thanked god for bring my Bella back home to me.
