Jacobs POV
I saw Renesmee approaching through the fog, with a joy on her face that would soon be gone.
I kicked my car into action, and pulled in closer to her. The minute I hopped out, she sprang onto me for a big hug.
"JakeJakeJake! I'm so happy to see you!"
I almost disintegrated my resolve right then and there. Because I'd rather die than hurt my Renesmee.
But this was good. We needed a break. I just didn't know if I could tell her.
Man up, I told myself. Do this. For Renesmee.
"I called you here to break up with you," I blurted out.
She stood very still for a moment. Then she, very slowly, removed her hands from around my neck and stared up at me with lifeless eyes.
I took her silence as a chance to explain myself.
"Listen, this whole double-life thing isn't working out for me, and it's obviously hurting you. I say we just take a break… and see how things pan out without each other."
Suddenly, she threw her lips onto mine.
They moved back and forth forcefully, trying to get a response. But I wouldn't hurt her more. So I just shut myself down until she was finished and gave up.
I opened my eyes to see fury on her face, and knew what was going to happen before it did. She punched me with all her might, and I didn't try to stop her. But I'd forgotten how strong she was, and my hand flew up to my throbbing jaw once her fist retracted.
She spit in my face. "That's what you get for playing with my heart! Just using me, then throwing me to the side so you can play fucking house with my mother!"
I stayed silent. She had every right to hate me. Hell, I hated myself. So I relished every slap in the face I got from her words.
"I hate you! I hate you, Jacob! And when you come to your senses, and realize that I am the only woman who will ever understand you, don't come crawling back to me! Because I never want to see your fucking face again!" She was crying now, but I knew if I tried to comfort her, I would get another punch.
"And I love you, Jacob. I love you so, so much," she murmured, obviously confused.
I was willing to risk it. I slowly put my arms around her neck and pulled her close.
We stood there for a moment, then broke apart.
Renesmee smiled sadly as she as she wiped the tears from her cheeks. "Sorry. That was out of line." She sighed. "Bella must be really great."
I opened my mouth to respond, but she put a finger to my lips. "It's okay."
She looked at me wistfully. "I guess I should go now."
She began to turn around, then swiveled back and swiftly slapped me.
"I deserved that," I admitted.
She nodded and slowly walked away.
My legs failed me as I fell on my face, feeling the gravel scratch the skin on my knees.
I brought my fingers up to my eyes, and realized I was crying.
I love you too, Renesmee.

Bella's POV
When my husband walked through the front door, I danced towards him and put on the most innocent smile I could.
"Hi, Jake! How are ya?"
"Whatever, Bella."
I frowned. What was wrong with him?
"Are you okay?"
He scowled up at me. "No, Bella. I'm not. Thanks to you, I had to break up with Renesmee."
"I'm sorry, but how exactly is that my fault?"
He moved closer until his face was centimeters from mine.
"Bitch," He whispered. Then he took my head in his hands and kissed me.
My lips responded automatically to the taste of his. Then I realized what I was doing, and staggered backwards.
"Wha-. What happened to being angry?" I stammered.
He grinned his cocky grin. He lurched over and kissed me again, a long, desperate, hungry kiss. Of the French variety.
Now, what happened that morning (and afternoon, too!), I really can't explain. Because the only thing I can think of… it can't be true.
Because there is no way that I am still in love with Jacob Black.

2 Weeks Later
I looked at the little box.
This is silly, Bella, I told myself. Impossible.
But I took out the stick anyway.
I figured just about any fluid in my body would work, so I spit down, right on the tip.
I knew it was seconds before the thing dissolved, so I looked hard.
Please, no, I murmured. Please.
A little pink plus sign appeared as the test fizzed down and disappeared.
