Author's Note:
HEY! I know I said I wouldn't be updating until my exams finished but I've wrote this chapter over a long period of time so I said I might as well post it now.
VERY IMPORTANT:
Due to a lack of an internet connection this is the first chapter I'm posting WITHOUT THE HELP OF MY BETA Raven-Rach. So I'm sorry if there is lots of spelling and grammar mistakes :)
As I've said I won't be able to update any of my stories until after my exams, which finish on the 18th of June. I've Music composing and listening that day! Yey!
The next chapter will be in the Doctor's POV!

Chapter Two
Jacob's POV
I couldn't believe my eyes. The Tardis was sanding right in front of me. After all these years the Doctor has finally returned. But what for?
I ran round to the front of the Tardis. Simultaneously its doors opened revealing the Doctor. He looked the exact same as he did ten years ago. He even had the same outfit on. The long brown coat and everything.
"Ah ha! Brilliant!" he exclaimed, when he saw me. "A wolf! Fantastic!"
He patted me on the head like a dog. I cannot believe he just did that!
I would have growled but I realised he didn't recognize me. Then it dawn on me. With no clothes to put on, I couldn't phase to talk to him. I wish Edward was here to talk to him. I hope he's okay, wherever he went. I better find him before Bella and Nessie bite my head off.
I tried to signal for him to follow me. Though I've never been any good at charades he somehow understood what I meant. I began to run but at a slow pace so he could follow.
As he quickly ran after me through the forest I continued to look for Edward. There was still no sign of him anywhere. I began to get really worried, I couldn't even pick up his scent anymore. I lead us in the direction of the house. Carlisle or someone could deal with the Doctor while I could continue looking for Edward.
We weren't too far from the house and it finally came into view. I could make out Nessie sitting on the porch alone. As we got close I could see some of my clothes folded up on her lap. She was obviously waiting for me. She was always so thoughtful. I didn't deserve her, especially not now after losing her dad. My heart broke as we got closer. She was crying.
She half smiled when she noticed me coming. She wiped her tears away with the sleeves of my hoodie. I didn't care if she was staining it because not only was it my probably my fault she was crying in the first place but I liked when she wore my clothes because they would smell like her afterwards. Also she looked incredibly sexy in them. When she noticed who was beside me her jaw dropped.
"Doctor!" she exclaimed, happy yet surprised to see him.
"Nessie Cullen? Is that you?" he asked, just as surprised as her. We both stopped in front of the porch. Nessie nodded in response to the Doctor's question.
"Doctor, what are you doing here?" she asked trying not to sound impolite.
"Believe me, I'm just as surprised to see you here," the Doctor replied sincerely.
Suddenly Carlisle came quickly out of the house and he was followed by nearly everyone else who was in the house. They were all just as surprised to see him.
Still in wolf form I gripped my hoodie in-between my teeth and pulled Nessie onto my back. I began to run around to the back of the house so I could phase in privacy and I also wanted to talk to Nessie. I would go inside but Esme doesn't allow phasing in the house. Which is fair enough especially after everything that idiot Seth broke through the years with his unreliable temper.
Nessie, like she always did, grasped plumes of my fur in her fists and tucked her body neatly and comfortably into mine. I really needed to talk to her. Not only about her seemingly missing dad but about everything that had happened the past day or so. About the engagement and the pregnancy. Wow… I'm still in shock about that.
I abruptly stopped as soon as we were safely alone. Well as alone as you could get with all the vampires, wolfs and now Time Lords about. The pack and I have lived with the Cullen's for about five years now and though we got off to a shaky start its been worth it to have Nessie by my side everyday.
Hopefully when we get married Ness and I could get a place of our own. Especially now as we're starting a family. Sometimes things do get too crowded around here. It was especially awful when mine and Nessie's relationship first became physical. What made it worse was the fact Edward could read our minds.
Annoyingly my pack insisted on moving in with us too. Even though Leah hated the idea living with vampires, but apparently where I go, the pack goes. At least Leah isn't complaining as much as she used to. She's gotten really close to Nessie and has even warmed up to Bella and Esme. Thankfully shes still with me in the 'I Hate Rosalie Club'. In fact Rosalie is the only Cullen still yet to be okay with the fact that we're now living with them and she takes it upon herself to remind us - well mostly me really - everyday.
Though Leah won't admit it, she's glad she has the company. She does have her brother, me and Nessie, but she's lonely. She even seems to be getting worse. I think she should try and start seeing someone. Though I would never say any of this to her face, thanks to the fact we can read each others minds in our wolf forms she knows about everything I think. However she's still in denial about it all.
As soon as I stopped moving Nessie jumped from my back. I calmed myself down and began to phase back into my human form. It seems to get easier and more controllable every time I phase, even after all these years. Even though I would be naked I didn't care, I've phased back in front of Nessie more then once. As soon as I was my human self I took my clothes from her hands and quickly pulled on only my boxers. I knew I would have to phase back to find Edward in a few minutes anyway.
"Jake? What's wrong? You look a little stressed," she asked with genuine concern. This was it, I was going to have to tell her about her dad. I didn't care if I would get a slap in the face by my angry fiancée, we had to find Edward. Surprisingly she already began to get angry. I hadn't even told her anything yet!
"My dad didn't hurt you, did he? Because I swear to God if he did I'll-" she began to growl before I interrupted her.
"No! I'm fine! Your dad on the other hand…," I said as her expression changed from one of anger to one of confusion.
"What I mean is: I lost Edward," I confessed, bracing myself for her reaction.
"You what!?" she yelled, shocked. I raised my had to cover her mouth.
"Shush! I don't want everyone to find out he's missing. I don't want there to be a panic. We were chasing after each other and all of a sudden he disappeared. I went to look for him but I bumped into the Doctor and I brought him back here," I explained quickly.
I lowered my hand from her mouth. She didn't give me any response. She mightn't have been angry but the expression she now had on her face was even worse. She was upset. She also seemed a little shocked as a few tears began to build up in her eyes, ready to spill over. It was like someone had just punched her hard in the gut.
"Look I'm sorry. I know its all my fault. I'm going back into the forest to find him and I want you to come with me," I apologised. She still didn't say anything but her expression was making my heart break.
"Are you Sure?" she finally managed to whisper. As much as I wished I didn't have to I nodded in response.
"Yes… Unfortunately. I'm almost one hundred percent sure. Though I could be over reacting. We might just have got separated and he could be running through the forest looking for me right now. But his scent had completely disappeared and I couldn't see or hear him anywhere. He didn't answer my calls either," I replied. She grew silent again. I grabbed her hand and turned to head into the forest.
"No wait Jake!" she said quickly. "What if this has something to with the Doctor showing up? You said he appeared as soon as my father went missing," she suggested. A furrow developed in-between my eyebrows.
"Your not seriously blaming the Doctor for this! He's the Doctor for Christ's sake!" I exclaimed back almost too loudly.
"Well the last time he showed up we lost my uncle Emmett and both my parents! He seems to bring trouble with him wherever he goes!" she yelled back with the anger I anticipated finally surfacing.
"Shush! Everyone will hear you!" I scolded. She frowned, her expression becoming serious. I smiled. Even angry she looked gorgeous. Her thick, messy, auburn curls danced in the cold wind as it cupped her pale, heart shaped face that I loved. Complimenting her rosy cheeks and mesmerising pools of perfect, chocolate brown eyes.
"What?" she asked, frustrated my the smirk that now dawned my face. I shook my head.
"Nothing," I replied. "There's something I didn't tell you earlier. I seen these metal, floaty things just before the Doctor showed up. Maybe they have something to do with it," I suggested.
"Maybe…" Nessie said through a sigh.
"Jacob?" she asked before she started fidgeting with her sleeves. I looked down, giving her eye contact.
"I know how close you are to my mum but please… Please don't say anything to her about my dad. Its one thing telling me or anybody else but I don't think my mum would be able to handle it," she begged.
"Oh no, I wasn't planning on telling anyone anything other then you. Like I said: I don't want anyone to panic. We'll try and find him ourselves and if worst comes to worst… Which it won't! We'll get the others to help. Do you know if Alice seen anything?" I asked.
"No she left earlier with my mum. They went to chemist to get me a pregnancy test and anyway its not like she would of seen anything. You know she can't see anything that involves you or the others," she explained.
"Oh… A pregnancy test?" I asked, taken aback slightly and also a bit confused.
"Yeah ummm… my mum thinks I should take a test, just to be sure," she replied
"So your not sure if you are pregnant then?" I inquired, surprisingly disappointed.
"No! I mean I'm almost one hundred percent sure!," she said as I couldn't control the smile that broke my face.
"Granddad is almost positive that I am as well. Also he's insisting to be my doctor. Naturally I wouldn't have it any other way but he seems to be a little over excited about the fact we're bringing a half wolf, quarter vampire into the world. I just hope he doesn't end up doing experiments on the poor child," she giggled. "I still wake up in cold sweats every morning thinking about that awful measuring tape!"
I chuckled in response. I was glad that the tone of our conversation had become lighter.
"At least Carlisle's taken it well. How did everyone else take the news? I'm sorry I bailed out on you and left you to deal with everyone's reactions on your own but I've learned to take Edward's threats seriously over the years," I apologised. She smiled.
"Its okay, really and I am sorry about my dad, but you know how he is. Thankfully everyone apart from the obvious took the news very well. A little shocked maybe, but happiness all round. Aunt Alice is ecstatic. As she was going out the door she was picking colour schemes for the nursery and even talking about baby names!" she responded.
"What about your mum?" I asked, wanting to know what Bella's reaction was more then any of the others.
"She was happy about it. A little shocked at the prospect of someone calling her Grandma perhaps, buts she's genuinely excited for us," she said with a tone of relief to her voice.
"That's good," I replied. "And I wouldn't worry about your dad too much either. He was beginning to come round in the forest. Well, I think he was anyway," I replied.
Suddenly her expression changed at the mention of Edward. Her smile dissolved to be replaced by pained expression but abruptly she looked to me seriously.
"I think we should go look for my father now," she suggested emotionlessly. I nodded in agreement but before I did anything else I leaned forward and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Don't worry," I reassured. "I'm sure we will find him."
"We should go before anyone notices our we're gone," I said as I pulled off my boxers. I ruined enough clothes for one day. Nessie took a few steps back and I phased as quickly as I could.
Side by side we entered the forest, beginning our search for Edward. We were running but unlike the carefree run I had with Edward earlier, I was completely alert, searching and absorbing every detail of my surroundings. There was still no sign of him yet. I began to get really worried and not only for Edward but for Nessie and Bella as well.
"Dad!?" Nessie began to yell repeatedly. I could hear the panic begin to manifest itself in her voice. I myself began shouting for him through my thoughts.
Though there was no sign of Edward there was also no sign of those strange, eerie, metal things either. I'm glad that we didn't see them again but if they lead us to Edward I would gladly put up with them. Whatever they were.
Suddenly Nessie tripped over a fallen, mossy, snow covered log. My large teeth grabbed her belt before she made any impact. Thankfully she was unharmed as I pulled her back into an upright position. Even with all her vampire qualities, her inherited clumsiness from her mother still liked to make an appearance once in a while.
She smiled to me with gratitude but she blushed profusely. She quickly turned and we continued on our search for Edward. We had only taken about ten quick strides before everything completely changed.
Abruptly and much to my distaste I was hit by four appalling scents. A ferocious growl built up in my chest and erupted through my clenched teeth, ready to attack if necessary. Nessie seemed to be just as furious as me.
It has been four years since we've had to deal with these four vampires and menacing hiss escaped from Nessie's lips as they stepped into the light, revealing themselves.
Their four despicable, black cloaks flapped in the cold wind as they dropped their hoods.
I dug my claws into the icy ground to stop myself from attacking the four most awful and quite honestly most annoying members of the Volturi guard. Though I wanted nothing more to pounce on them there was only two of us and four of them and I would be an idiot if I tried to fight these four.
Devilish smiles stretched across the faces of Jane, Alec, Felix and Demetri. What the hell were they doing here?! Suddenly I realised that I now know exactly what has happened to Edward.
