AN: well, the muse was whacking my head with a hammer and so I had to add a second chapter. There might be a final third installment soon. Thanks for the reviews and for reading. This is dedicated to all the Team Jacob girls out there.

There you will be part 2

In my heart
There will always be a place
For you for all my life
I'll keep a part
Of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you'll be

Faith Hill (There you will be)

Jacob decided that he didn't need to hear what Edward would say to Bella, it was of no consequence to him. Bella would be broken by the news and although her husband was going to promise her to never leave her side, she'll be the one to ask. He knew Bella in a way that Edward never did, Jacob was aware that it was going to be a long process before Bella accepted his love, but after seeing her death and breaking the imprint on her daughter, he was confident that nothing could ever hurt him more.

An hour passed and Jacob was hesitating in going back in, he was scared to face the new broken Bella. He was sorry for her, because he loved her enough to wanting her happy, but underneath his sorrow he was rejoicing, Bella had never been meant to be a vampire.

He felt him before he spoke. "Jacob, she wants to see you." Edward said.

Jacob turned and met the distraught eyes of his rival. "How... how did she take it?"

Edward's expression turned into guilt. "I didn't... I didn't tell her." Then he straightened and looked very serious. "You want your chance with her? Then go inside and tell her yourself." After that he ran away into the forest.

Jacob was stunned but resolute. Slowly he walked in and saw Bella holding Renesmee, for a moment he was scared to get closer. What if he hadn't really broken the imprint? Bella looked up and smiled. "Jake, come and see my daughter."

He nodded and slowly sat near her, he peered into the baby's eyes and nothing happened. No pull, no love, just some faint affection only connected with the fact that she had her mother's eyes. "She's got your eyes."

She grinned and placed her head on his shoulder. He moved his arm and pulled her closer. She sighed and Jacob placed a kiss on her hair. After a moment the blonde leech came and glared at him, he glared back. "Bella, I'm taking Renesmee, she needs to feed and be changed. You're still weak, you need to rest." Rosalie said softly.

Bella reluctantly handed the baby to Rosalie and then they were left alone once again. Bella frowned. "I'm glad Rose is taking care of Renesmee, but she's my daughter... mine."

"I know Bells, but you really need to catch a bit more rest. In a few days you'll take your place as her mother and the lee-Rosalie will have to step back." Jacob said reassuringly, but he knew it was going to be difficult for Bella to get her daughter back.

"So..." Bella said smiling softly. "Usually when Edward sends for you there's something unpleasant that you need to tell me. I wonder why he gives the dirty job to you."

Jacob smirked; Bella was starting to pick up on her dear husband behavior. "He thinks I can handle things better with you. Apparently he isn't sure about his abilities to make you see 'reason'."

Bella huffed and punched him lightly. "Jacob Black you're an ass."

He laughed and ruffled her hair. "As long as I'm your ass, I don't mind."

She laughed too and then placed her head again on his shoulder. "Something happened during the birth..." Bella whispered pulling her body even closer to his. "But no one is telling me anything. Will you?"

His hand held her arm tightly. "Bella, the birth was difficult and painful for you. Apparently the baby damaged basically every internal organs... you... we thought you were dead for a while. Edward and I decided to give you his venom, because we both wanted you to live..." At this her head shot up and he met her eyes, she looked incredulous and the gears in her brain started to work. He cleared his throat and finished. "Carlisle thinks that you're immune to vampire's venom, you will never be able to become a vampire."

She watched him for a moment, a flash of pain passed through her eyes and then she settled for anger. She was almost vibrating. "Coward." She sheeted. "He spent an hour telling me how happy he was for having our daughter, although, he had wanted me to get rid of her since the beginning and now he left you here to tell me a little but crucial detail about our future."

Jacob remained silent; he wanted her to get it all out so that she could move on. Anger was good, it was better than falling into zombie-hood.

Bella stood up and started pacing back and forth. "After all we went through he still lied to me, by omission but it's still a lie." She then deflated and sat, she put her head into her hands. "How am I supposed to make this marriage work? Is love really enough? I don't think I can…"

He placed a hand on her back and caressed her softly; he didn't tell her it was going to be okay because it wouldn't. Bella was going to face so many battles on so many fronts. She had to fight Rosalie for Renesmee and Edward about their life together.

She turned and hugged him. "You're the only constant in my life; you've never lied or tried to manipulate me."

Jacob kept her in his arms and sighed. "For the purpose of keeping it this way, I have something more to tell you and I would like to draw attention to the fact that I'm not asking Edward to do my dirty job… Bella when I saw Renesmee I imprinted on her." Bella stilled in his arms and then she looked up with shock, pain and betrayal in her eyes. "But I broke the imprint before it could take place. There is only a woman that I want and she's right here in my arms."

Bella blinked and then hugged him again. Jacob decided to play another card in his favor. "Bells, I know right now you don't need a further weight on your shoulders, but I want you to know that I'll stand by you in whatever capacity you need me to. You need to consider what will be for you and your… husband the implication of you being human."

In her eyes he could read anguish, desperation and pain. She hugged her stomach, a gesture that Jacob had seen so many times and he knew she was hurting badly. "Bells." He whispered and when she looked at him he went on. "It's not the end of the world, you can live a human life, we can raise Renesmee together and we can even have more kids."

She blushed and averted her eyes. "Jacob, I'm married to Edward. I pledged my life to him."

Jacob shook his head. "You didn't know what you know now. Can you honestly tell me that you wanted to get married at eighteen?" She grimaced and he knew he was pushing on the right subject. And he went for the kill. "And was it worth it? The sex was so overwhelming to give up your freedom? Did he ask you to marry him in exchange for turning you?"

She put her hand on her ears. "Stop Jake, please stop." She stood up and swayed, he caught her before she fell down. Their eyes met and he could read the pain and the realization that she might have made the wrong choice after all.

He needed to push her further. "Bells, I know you put all your faith in your love for him, but you love me too. We understand each other and we don't need explanations or lengthy discussions, just a look and we know. Now that your forever won't happen, please consider an –as long as we shall live- with me. I'll stop phasing we'll grow old together and I'll hold your hand till my last dying breath."

Bella pulled awa,y but he could feel her conflicting emotions. "I need time Jacob. Right now I need to think everything through."

"I'll give you time and space Bells. I'm going back to my tribe to settle things with Sam and the pack. I won't let them harm anyone. I'll be away for a few days." He told her.

"But you will come back…" She whispered turning to look at him with her beautiful brown and very human eyes. He nodded; she moved quickly and hugged him. Before he could hug her back she pulled away. "You take care Jacob Black and come back to me."

He grinned and then to lighten the mood he said teasingly, "Aren't you asking me to kiss you and come back?" Recalling what happened that day on the mountain.

Her eyes flickered with something and then she smiled and shook her head. "You're incorrigible."

He laughed and walked away. "And you love me just like this."

While he was getting out of the house he heard her whisper. "That I do." And he knew that he had taken a step in the right direction.
