The Negotiation

We all listened carefully as Jacob talked to the 'elder' or in this case, his dad Billy. We could hear it quite clearly, the conversation I mean. Bella was making it difficult for me to tune in what Jacob and Billy were talking about. Her hands, even though they were really not near where I didn't want them to be, were distracting me. Even with having her hands wrapped around my waist, with her thumbs stroking the skin that was covering behind the fabric, was taking all senses away from me, slowly. Not to mention, her breathing was so close to me, and all I could smell was her, all I could hear was her and it was maddening.

"Jacob Black, I command you to come straight home, now!" Demanded Billy from the other end of the line, and he was getting heated up from the sound of it.

"I'm still recovering dad, give me some time." Jacob sighed into the speaker, and once again Billy's voice rose.

"Then I will get Sam over there to retrieve you!" There was some shuffling from Billy's end of the line, and I knew that he was trying to get a hold of Sam. And by the way that Billy was wording the sentence, it sounded like Jacob was just an item, and not a human being, werewolf or not.

"Dad!" Jacob shouted into the phone, which had successfully got Billy's attention back to him. "I don't want anyone to come. I will go home when I'm fully recovered. I promise that I won't be siding with the bloodsuckers."

Oh, the nerve. Here he was, laying on our couch, and he had to call us by the name that we hated when we were all gathering around here. If I could get my hands on him, he'd be more than half-injured at the moment. Jasper, sensing that my anger was about to bust, not that I was really controlling it, sent calming wave at me, and instantly I felt myself relax.

"The treaty is broken!" Billy responded, angrily.

"Because of me! I attacked first!" Jacob said, though not in a calm tone, and he was really fighting to keep calm. I'm sure that Jasper was doing the best that he could to keep the dog at bay.

"Bella was turned!" Billy retorted. I didn't see anything wrong with that, since it was Bella's decision, and it was never really my intention to turn her in the first place.

"Not in Forks dad! Is there anything in the treaty that said that the treaty would be broken if one of them turned someone outside of Forks?" Jacob reasoned, and it looked like he was siding with us, or with Bella, just a little.

"You're siding with them?" Billy asked, in shock I would assume.

Jacob sighed, and brought his hand to the bridge of his nose and pinched it lightly. "No, dad, this is Bella's choice and I'd doubt that they would want her to experience the pain."

"Bella doesn't know what she wants. She still is young, Jacob."

Now it was Bella's turn to get angry. She retracted her arms from my waist, and instantly stormed over to Jacob's side and snatched the phone from him before he could protest.

"This is Bella, and I know what I damn want, thank you so much Billy." She half-yelled into the phone, and I knew that her tone was so heavily covered in sarcasm.

"Bella, you're still young, what about Charlie?" Billy asked, his tone softened.

"I'm young, but I know what I want!" She growled. "As for Charlie, I hope that he would forgive me one day. I didn't mean to leave him like that, but it's either me dead for real, or the, well, me vampire-dead." She shrugged.

"But you being dead is better than you killing people!" Billy bellowed, and that was just it, Bella had lost control. I quickly went over and snatched the phone from her, which she was nearly crushing it in her palm, and tossed it over at Jacob, whom caught it with ease.

"Talk to Billy, tell him that we'd rather have her stay alive than truly dead. Tell him that he doesn't know how much we love Bella. And if he says that he loves her, tell him to shut up and listen to what he is saying, because he doesn't love her at all. And before he says anything else, tell him to respect other people decisions, and mostly Bella's decisions." I told him, firmly, before pulling Bella up the stairs and towards our room.

When we were both inside, Bella immediately flopped down onto the bed on her stomach, and buried her head in the pillow. Already, I could hear the muffled scream, yet it was quite loud when we, as vampires, had enhanced hearing. I sighed softly and went over to the bed before taking a seat next to her. I waited for her scream to stop, and when it did, I put my hand on her arm, gently running it back and forth.

"Bella, he doesn't know you as well as we do. Don't take it to heart." I murmured softly, while continuing to run my hand along her arm.

She sighed, and shifted her head so that she was looking at me. "I won't, but it hurts when everyone keeps saying that I don't know what I want because I'm young. I know what I want, and I don't need anyone to plan my life for me."

"I know, sweetie, I know." I cooed as I lowered myself down, and kissed her cheek softly. Before I knew it, she had me under her while she was straddling me. This wasn't really part of the plan, well, my plan for that matter.

"Bella…" I half-whined, half-moaned when her hand made its way down south. Sure, I was sexually frustrated, and I knew that she must be too, but there were people down stairs, and someone was coming up the stairs.

"I'm sorry….but…I can't hold it in much longer." She quickly responded before capturing my lips within her own.

I pulled back, when the footsteps were coherent, and near. "Someone's coming Bella." I managed to utter out.

She sighed, shook her head, and went to attack my neck. I bit back a moan, though it was fighting its way out. "Let them come, and watch. I don't care."

"Bella!" I half-shouted upon hearing that. There was no way, in a million years, would I let anyone watch us making love. I placed my hands on her shoulders, and with the strength that I tried to get onto them, I pushed her back. She didn't budge, damn her newborn strength.

"Bella, please." By now, my voice wasn't really, exactly, what I wanted it to sound like. It was a half-moan, and a half-pleading tone. "I'll make it up to you…"

"Really?" She quickly asked, fully retracted her lips from my neck. I didn't know whether to sigh in relief, or at the loss of her lips on my skin.

"Yes, really, I'll do whatever you want until everything calms down."

She pouted then, and I had the sudden urge to capture her lips in mine, but I fought it back. "But that would be aaaaaaaaaages."

I looked at her, blinked, then started to giggle. "Oh come on Bella, I'm sure you can hold it in, just a little longer."

She sighed, nodded, and as she pushed herself off of me, Edward appeared in the room. He looked a little pain, and I didn't want to ask since I knew that it was because of Bella, being with me. I knew that it still brought him some great pain, but he really didn't show it, until it was too much.

"Jacob will be staying with us for a couple of days, then we would have to move." He said, his eyes were on anything but me and Bella.

"Where to?" I asked, since I still couldn't see pass Jacob.

"Alaska." He responded.

Alaska, why? Didn't we just move back from there? Are we really be moving back with the Denali?

He snorted then, in disapproval as he turned to look at me. "Alice, we have a house in Alaska. And we're not moving in with the Denali. Esme already had a house built, not so far from theirs."

I sighed, and nodded. I didn't mind seeing or spending time with the Denali. But I didn't want to bring any drama into their family, or danger into their family. Danger. My mind immediately flashed towards Victoria. Ever since we've came back from Italy, I haven't seen a vision of her.

"We will think about Victoria later." Edward said, his hands were shaking slightly. "Right now, Billy wanted to talk with Bella."

"Me? We have nothing to talk about." Bella growled lowly, and folded her arms across her chest as she looked at the window. Edward and I had to chuckle at the sight.

"He wants to apologize." Edward spoke once more, and she sighed.

"Fine, fine." She got off the bed, walked out of the room, and went down to the lounge. Edward remained in the room. I sat up, and hopped off the bed and looked up at him, worriedly.

"When we move to Alaska, you won't run off, would you?" I asked. In all honesty, I didn't want him to run off anywhere because Bella didn't choose him. That would devastate Esme, and he had already hurt her once.

"I'll try not to." He responded with his trademark crooked smile. I rolled my eyes, and hit him gently against his arm.

"Good, because Esme would miss you a lot."

"I know." He sighed. Then he tensed, before letting out a growl. "Someone wants to talk to you."

"Who?" I asked, rather quickly. I so hated the feeling of being blind.

"Jacob."

With that said, he disappeared out of the room. I followed him down, and saw that Bella was in a rather deep conversation with Billy. My eyes darted towards Jacob, and he was standing up. Looked like he was recovering, rather quickly. He looked over to me, mouthed the word 'Come' and left the house using the back door. Jasper looked over to me with concern in his eyes. I moved over to him and whispered that I'd be alright, then walked out of the house to join Jacob.

He waited for me to come out, before turning around and leading us into the woods. Typical, what was so important that he had to talk to me in the woods? I sighed and followed him nonetheless. He stopped, and we were out of hearing range, and turned to me with a pained look in his eyes.

"The pack won't let Bella live when I return to them."

A/N: They better get a move on until Jake is fully healed ! Well, he's walking around now, so it's only gonna take him one day, but it seems like he wants to stay for two days to have the Cullens fully prepared. He's such a sweet guy, with a temper. And it's not like whatever he's going to say to Alice is gonna be unheard by Edward, since he reads minds. And Bella needs to control her hormones. And I might set Edward up with Tanya. And somehow get Maria down to set her up with Jasper. I do not know. It's a might. 50/50 chance lol.

Thanks for the review.
