Chapter 9

When I woke up the next morning, I felt someone stroking my hair, and out of habit I gasped and jumped out of bed. But once I realized it was just Jake I sighed in relief.

"Hey, hey," Jacob said, sitting up. "Its okay, its just me."

"S-sorry I just..."

"You don't have to explain, I get it. Come here."

I slowly walked back over to the bed and sat in front of him. He grabbed both of my hands and leaned forward to kiss my forehead. I noticed as he pulled away his gaze flickered to my lips, but he just smiled at me.

"How do you feel today honey? Are you sore anywhere?"

"M-my ribs still hurt alittle... Other than that its just the other bruises and stuff I have." I said quietly, not meeting his eyes.

He put a finger under my chin and tilted my head up.

"Don't be nervous or scared around me Renesmee, I would never hurt you, okay? I love you more than anyone in this world."

I looked in his brown eye's and they shone with so much love, that it was almost overwhelming. I threw my arms around neck and breathed in his scent, letting it comfort me.

"I don't deserve you... Your a really good friend Jake."

I heard him sigh softly before squeezing me tighter.

"I know. I'm too awesome for you."

I giggled and smacked his arm. He chuckled and pulled away from me.

"I missed that laugh, I hope I can keep that smile on your face too."

I blushed and bit my lip. He just chuckled again and got up.

"You should change and come downstairs, I've got a huge breakfast made for you."

I smiled at him as he walked out the door then I walked over to his closet, looking through his clothes. I wonder if he'll mind if I wear one of his shirts. I picked out the one I loved to see him wear.

It was a black t-shirt that had a moon in the middle and a brown wolf howling at it. I bought it for him when I looked about seven or eight.

I slipped that on and it came down to just above my knees. It showed the scars on my legs, so I hoped that Jacob wouldn't say anything. I walked downstairs and saw Jake pouring something in a cup with a disgusted face. It smelled like blood, and it made my mouth water.

"Jacob? Is that blood?" I asked.

He looked up briefly and his eyes widened.

"I-I-I Um... Wow... Um..." He cleared his throat and looked down again. "I-I went out early this morning, and killed you some deers so you could feed. Gotta get that strength back up!"

I smiled and picked the cup up from the counter. As soon as the smell hit my nose I was drinking it in 5 big gulps. When I was done I laughed at the expression on his face.

"That was beyond disgusting Renesmee, did you have to do that in front of me?" He said with a playful smile on his face.

"Sorry. I was really thirsty."

He wrapped and arm around my shoulder, "Well when I said big breakfast I meant it. There's three or four more cups on the counter. I kept it nice and warm for you."

I went to thank him, but then someone started pounding on the door. I gasped and buried my head in Jakes back.

Me hiding from Rowan. Him banging on the closet door, threatening to kill me. Knocking the door down, beating me relentlessly until I was barely conscious.

"Renesmee! Renesmee! Stop! Tell me whats wrong!"

I opened my eyes, snapping out of my reverie and looked up at him. He had look af panic and concern all over his face.

"What happened? Did the guys scare you?"

"W-what? The guys?" I whispered, confused.

"You started screaming 'Stop it' over and over again, crying and hitting me. I didn't know what to do!"

I touched my face and sure enough it was wet with tears.

"I-I don't know what happened... I just... The banging on the door brought back memories..."

He embraced me and kissed the top of my head.

"The guys can be so stupid sometimes. I'm so sorry they scared you. But your safe with me, nothing is going to happen while your here."

I nodded and he started to walk away.

"I'm gonna let everyone in! Finish drinking if your thirsty!" He yelled over his shoulder.

I picked up another cup, and closed my eyes, calming myself down.

He can't hurt me anymore, He's gone. Jacobs gonna protect you now.

Yeah.

Like I actually believed I was safe.

Rowan wasn't gonna let me escape him that easily.

I drank one more cup of blood, rinsed my mouth out, then slowly walked to where everyone was talking. They immediatly fell silent when they saw me, and I tried stretching Jacob t-shirt down further.

"Umm, Hey guys." I said ackwardly.

"Loch ness!" Quil exclaimed, breaking the silence. "Don't just stand there looking sexy! Come give me a hug!"

I smiled when he got up and grabbed me up in a huge, but gentle, hug.

"Thank you. For everything." I whispered in his ear.

He kissed my cheek. "No problem babe!"

After we seperated, everyone else gave me hug. Even Paul, which surprised the hell out of me.

"I might be mean as fuck, but no woman deserves to be abused." Was all he said, then sat back down.

I sat in a chair at the dining room table, pulled my knees up to my chest and just listened to them interact.

"So did you guys find anything?" Jacob asked.

Embry shook his head. "When we got back to his house, all the fuckers stuff was gone. And we couldn't even catch a scent."

"What do you mean you could catch a scent? Were you sniffing your own ass instead of doing what I told you to?"

"Dude, we seriously couldn't catch a scent." Jared defended. "It was like he disappeared into thin air."

I couldn't stop my heart from hammering.

He was...gone? And didn't have a scent?

Could that mean he could still be watching me right now, plotting revenge?

I shuddered remembering the way he described Jacobs death.

'Sink my teeth into his neck...injecting him with my poison...Rip his limbs off slowly...one by one-'

" Nessie, your scaring me again, come back to us." Jacobs voice pleaded.

I blinked a couple time, realizing I had my head buried in between my knees and crying again.

I slowly looked up and around at their concerned or confused faces.

"Wha-what did I do?" I asked.

"You were chanting 'no' and shaking really bad. Are you okay now?"

"I-I think so..."

He rubbed my arms and kissed my forehead, lingering longer than he usually does.

"You need to take your mind off of things." He said.

"Oh Jake! Pick me, pick me!" Quil yelled.

I giggled and Jacob rolled his eyes.

"What is your brillant idea Quil?"

"Lets strip!"

I laughed when everybody slapped him on the back of the head.

"Ouch what the fuck? I'm trying to help and you guys give me a concussion instead? Thats awesome."

I laughed again and Quil winked at me.

"Or... How about we bore her with our lovely brotherhood stories?"

And thats exactly what they did fo the next few hours.

Jake told me stories of all the crazy things him, Embry, and Quil did before their "Werewolf" days. Which basically included, The first time they ever got drunk, Quil giving an old woman a lap dance, Embry jumping off of a tool shed, and Jacob streaking.

By time all of their stories were told, I had completely forgotten about Rowan, and had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.

Jacob looked at me, and once again I could see all the love he felt for me, and happiness that I was happy.

And I was.

I was genuinely happy for the first time in months.

I felt right at home here.

...

A month passed by, and things got better.

I stopped having those horrible memories of Rowan, and most of my bruises went away, except for some that looked permant.

Jacob never pressured me to talk to him about what happened, and did everything he could to keep me happy.

The only thing that wasn't perfect is that I have been feeling really sick for a week now. I haven't told Jacob because I didn't want him to worry.

But when I woke up, my stomach went south, and I jumped up, barely making it to the bathroom before I threw up.

I felt Jacob gather up my hair, while I emptied my stomach.

"Whats wrong Renesmee? Did you eat something bad last night?" He asked, trying to hide his panic.

"I-I don't know." I choked out, panting over the toilet bowl.

"Okay well lets get you back in bed, and I'll get you something to calm your stomach down."

Helped me stand up, and stood next to me while I brushed my teeth, then laid me on the bed placing a trash can next to me.

"Take some deep breaths, i'll be right back."

I did what he said as he left the room, but tears started running down my face.

Abdomen pains.

Food cravings.

Morning sickness.

All of those symptoms could mean one thing. I refused to believe it though.

I couldn't be. It was impossible.

'Bella had you, so its not impossible.' My inner voice said.

"Shut the hell up..." I whispered to myself.

"Okay ness, I know you hate the taste of soda and crackers, but its the only other thing I know that helps nausea." Jacob said sitting next to me.

"Thats okay, thank you."

He smiled and I slowly drank the soda, trying not to gag at the taste. Then I nibbled on the crackers.

"Are you sure your okay baby? You haven't been feeling well for awhile."

I moved so I could rest my head on his lap, and he started stroking my hair.

"I need you to get me something from the store."

"Anything. What do you need?"

"A-A pregnancy test..."

His hand halted its movement and his body started vibrating.

"You think your pregnant? With that fuckers baby?" He growled. I moved my head off his lap as he shook harder and jumped. "I don't know why I convinced myself to believe he used protection! I swear when I catch that sick son of a bitch i'll kill him." He punched the wall and I screamed, pulling my knees up to my chest. "DAMMIT!"

"Stop... Please stop...I'm sorry..."

He stopped pacing, and his shaking slowed down.

"No, I'm sorry honey. I didn't mean to scare you."

He sat back next to me and cradled me like a baby.

"I'll go get you a test, and If its positive, we'll figure out something. I'll love you either way."

"I love you too." I said quietly.

Jacob

Walking into that pharmacy, felt like walking into my own grave.

The thought of his seed... his thing growing in my nessie's stomach, made me sick and furious. I wish I could find him, so I could shove his head up his own ass.

"Oh, look Jake condoms. You might need some of these." Quil snickered, throwing a pack at me.

I growled, "Why the hell did you come with me? You know shes more comfortable with you than Embry."

He shrugged, "I wanted to be your moral support or some shit like that, I know this is hard for you."

I threw the condoms back at him, "So throwing condoms at me is moral support?"

He laughed and placed them back on the shelf, moving with me to the pregnancy test aisle.

And there where hundreds of them! Who knew women were so complicated?

"So... Which one do I get?" I whispered to Quil.

"Hell if I know! Is there a difference? Don't you just pee on the freaking thing anyways?"

I smirked, "I don't know either. Should we get one of each?"

"You boys need some help?"

We both turned to see a middle aged woman smiling amused at us.

"Uh, yeah. Do you know the difference between these pregancy test?" I asked, alittle embarrased.

"Sure."

She examined a couple of them, then picked up two.

"Here these are the best two. With this one all she has to do is pee on it wait about three minutes then then two lines will pop up if its positive, and then with this one, its a digital display test and tells you the direct results. Like pregnant, not pregnant, or positive, negative."

"Um... I think we'll get both." I said.

She smiled and hand me the test, "Sorry if I made you uncomfortable sweetie, I hope I helped though."

"You did thank you."

"Yeah, thank you very much." Quil said kissing her hand.

She giggled and blushed a school girl, then walked away.

"Really Quil? She's like what? 45?"

"Age ain't nothin but a number babe, just a number."

I punched him in the arm for calling me babe, and paid for the test. On thhe drive home, I started getting nervous.

What if the tests said she was pregnant? Would she keep the thing? Give it away? Or would her pregnancy tear her apart like Bella's did?

I gripped the steering wheel tighter, trying to calm myself down, but just thinking of that made me want to cry and kill something at the same time.

"You know Jake," Quil started. "I've dated and had unprotected sex with virgins plenty of times."

"And I care because...?"

"Because none of them ever got preggo the first time. Even if Rowan did have some strong demon semen, it might just be a false alarm."

I chuckled at 'demon semen' but thought about what he said.

Maybe it was just a false alarm.

I've heard of things like this, then the girl would get her period the next day.

I never thought i'd here myself beg for this, but god... please let Renesmee get her period.

...

When me and Quil got back to the house, I saw Renesmee curled up on the couch talking quietly with Embry and when she saw us, her face fell alittle.

"Hey honey, I um, got the test. Two actually. Some lady had to help us."

Her eyes lit up in amusement and I smiled, knowing I did that. Then she giggled.

"I can picture your face. I'm glad your back though, I really have to go to the bathroom."

I handed her the bag and she ran upstairs. I sighed, plopped on the couch and ran a hand over my face.

Embry patted my back, but didn't make a comment. Three mintues turned into the longest time of my life.

I was pacing back and forth, unable to stay still anymore, when I heard her call me.

"Jacob?"

I glanced at the guys, who had equally worried faces before I ran up the stairs, taking to at a time. I cracked the door open, just enough to stick my head in and saw her sitting on the closed toilet seat, her face emotionless.

"R-renesmee? What did it say?" I said, nervously.

All she did was point to where the two test were sitting.

I gulped and picked up the first test, my eyes widening.

Pregnant.

Teehee! I'm so horrible to leave you hanging like that but, hey gotta leave you to wonder their reactions right?

Hope you enjoyed! Please review!
