BPOV

Waiting for Jake to come back was the most anxious moment of my life. Maybe not quite the most anxious moment but defiantly in the top five. I just hoped and prayed he did actually come back. I needed to explain to him what was actually happening. I sat in Edwards absent-mindedly stroking my bump. I jumped every time I heard someone walk past outside and sank back down when I saw it wasn't him. The room was silent. All you could hear was the clock ticking on the wall in the kitchen.

An hour went by and still no Jacob. I was on the verge of tears again. He had to come back to me, he had to. I was scared he would just leave and never know the truth. I should have just said to start with. I guess I was just so angry that he didn't trust me. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I felt like I should be banging my head on a wall or something to the same effect. The look on his face before he had run off was like I had just stabbed him through the heart. In fact I think he would have preferred that. I sighed and curled up tighter into Edward's cold body. All of a sudden Edward lifted me off his body and put me on the couch next to him. Then he jumped up and went to the door. Was this it? Was this Jake? I stood up to follow him but he insisted that I stay where I was.

"I just want to make sure that he's not angry. Not angry enough to phase anyway. I'll be one minute okay love. You just sit there and talk to Emmett." He smiled at me but his smile seemed fake somehow. As if he was trying to cover up another emotion. Anger maybe. Or frustration.

"So, how about that weather huh?" Emmett leaned forward and tried to start a conversation.

"Emmett, no offence, but I would rather hear what's going on with Edward and Jacob. Sorry. We can talk about the weather some other time." I strained to hear what was going on. I heard the front door open and Edward saying that he wanted a word outside. After that the door shut again and I couldn't hear anything. I got up and moved to the door hoping I could hear what was going on.

"Listen, blood-sucker, I came here to talk to Bella, not you. So if you don't mind." Jacob started. I guess Edward stopped him as I didn't hear the door open again.

"You listen here mutt, you have no idea how upset you have made Bella. She has been crying uncontrollably since you left although why I don't know as she is most defiantly better off without you." Edward almost hissed. I sucked in my breath and stared wide eyed at Emmett who was crouched next to me. He seemed mildly amused by the mutt part. I turned my attention back to what was going on outside.

"She's been upset! She's been upset! How the hell do you think I've felt? I've just found out that the girl I love most in the whole world, the girl who I would gladly kill for has been shacking up with some other bloke. And not just that but has got herself pregnant.' Was that a threat? Was he threatening to kill Edward for me? I couldn't help but smile weakly at that. I guess it was the thought that counted. Then I heard a growl, which I assumed was Edward.

"Firstly, you don't know what love is. You cannot love Bella because she is mine. Secondly, don't you dare threaten to kill me again." So I wasn't the only one who interpreted it as a threat then. "Thirdly I suggest you allow Bella to explain before you go and ahead and make assumptions. That is what a true friend would do." Emphasis on the word friend. I heard the handle turn and I panicked and tried back to the couch where I had been told to wait. I tried but I ran into Emmett's chest and slammed to the floor. It really did hurt. I attempted to sit up but my back hurt too much so I just stayed led on the floor.

"Great catch blood sucker!" Jacob called back to Emmet as he bent down and put his flaming hands onto my face. "Bella? Are you all right?"

"Get away from her. You've done enough damage for one day." Edward said as scooped me up into his marble arms and set me down gently on the sofa. He ran his fingertips along my jaw. The cold made me shiver. He chuckled and sat down next to me. "Bella? What's hurting?" I blinked hard several times trying to locate the pain.

"I'm fine, really." I said sitting up. I stared at Edward who was looking at me with concerned eyes. A warm smile spread across his face. This one was genuine! I couldn't help but smile back.

"Bella!" Jacob came bounding towards me. He crouched beside me and smiled up at me as well. "Hey."

"Hey." I said back, the smile still on my face. "Listen Jake, there's something I need to tell you." I looked to Edward who nodded for me to continue.

"Before you say anything I just want to apologize. I understand that this is a really difficult time for you and, erm, Emmett. I just want you to know that I'll be there for you no matter what happens."

"No, Jake, that's what I need to tell you. You've got it wrong. Totally and completely wrong!" He looked confused. "I'm not really pregnant! It's just an empathy stomach, see." I lifted my top up and revealed my extended stomach.

"What the hell?" Jacob stare was once again fixed on my bump. I decided to just let him, it stare it out. But after about five minutes I started to get pretty bored of it. "Why?"

"Long story, but basically I'm doing Carlisle a favour. I'm testing out some new hospital resources or something like that." I looked into his eyes hoping he would see.

"Oh Bella, I am so sorry. I should have never doubted you." Jake lent forwards and wrapped his huge arms around me. The heat from his body made me flush. It felt so different to hugging Edward. I was the one to break the hug.

"Oooo." I jumped as I felt it.

"What is it?" Jake looked at me with concerned eyes. Edward was by my side instantly wearing the same face as Jacob.

"What is it love? Is it your head?" Edward took one of my hands in his. It felt so strange because Jacob held one hand making it unbearably hot and Edward held the other making it freezing cold. I dropped them both and raised my hand to my bump.

"It's happening again." I felt a wide smile spread across my face. I looked to Edward and took his hand and pressed it against my tummy. "It's kicking." As I spoke the look on Edwards face was priceless. He had the look of such joy on his face it made me smile wider.

"It's amazing." Was all he said. "It's perfect. You're perfect." He chuckled and pressed his other hand next to his first.

"Hey, Jake, you gotta feel this." I turned my attention to the werewolf by my side. He looked as if he was about to cry. "Jake?"

"It's fine. I wouldn't want to ruin this little moment for you." He stood up and walked to the door. "I'll just go. See you later." Emmett shut the door behind him as he walked out.

"Bye then. Come again." Emmett waved after him. "What's wrong with him? He's got a face like a smacked ass!" I knew I shouldn't laugh at that but I had to. Only a little giggle. Edward chuckled as well. "Well it is true!"

"Only you could say something like that at a time like this." Edward said removing his hands and turning to look at his brother.

"A situation like what? I say what I think people."

"That's your downfall!" The humour on Edwards face was evident. "And how are you after that?" Edward turned back to me and stared deep into my eyes.

"I'm fine. I guess. I don't really know." I said sighing and rubbing my face. "What time is it?"

"Only one o'clock love. Do you want to come back to the house with me?" Edward asked. "Or you could stay here with him." He then pointed to Emmett who was playing with the tassels on the curtain tie.

"I'll come with you. Emmett you coming?" My voice seemed to break his trance because he turned to me and smiled, nodding his head excitedly. "Just what I was afraid of."

Edward chuckled and helped me stand up. "Come on then, let's go. You can ride with me." We walked towards the door only to be stopped by Emmett's huge arms.

"What about me?" His voice was yet again like a small child's. All whiney and pathetic.

"You are a big boy and can drive yourself home." Edward said barging past the barrier.

"Yay! I'm a big boy!" Emmett bounced out the door and to his car. I allowed myself to laugh briefly before locking the door. So this is what it's like having little kids!

Another chapter for you! Again, sorry for taking so long but I've been ill recently and have been sleeping alot [Yay! Sleeping!]. Oooo, and before I forget, I do believe there are some people who don't know who Gladys is [:O]. If you don't know but would like to [it may be helpful seen as she is going to be in this story sometime soon and basically just does't get on with Emmett] then you need to read chapter 5 and she's also briefly in chapter 16 towards the middle, of The Long Weekend [the other story I've written]. Thanks for reading the chapter, I'm assuming you did read it, and please could you review. And any ideas for the next chapter are much welcomed! :)Thanks XX
