A New World

By Girldownunder

Chapter 7

Jacobs P.O.V:

I turned and watched Jemma drive off I smiled to myself at the reaction I stirred in her.

'She likes me.'

Finally, I wasn't nervous anymore I felt a little like the old Jake, pre wolf Jake…

My stomach had gotten butterflies, when I smelt her arousal as she asked why I was running around with no shirt on.

I had wanted to open the car door and drag her into my arms, but I was pretty impressed with the chaste kiss I had given her before I left, she hadn't expected it.

I hadn't been very far with a girl, besides Bella, I had a few drunken gropes with a few local girls but it never got to taking clothes off.

Compared to the other pack members, the exceptions being Seth and the younger boys, I was the Virgin Mary.

I wonder if Jemma's a virgin…

'I kind of hope she is but I cant be mad if she isn't.'

I found myself walking towards Pauls house I needed to talk to him, I don't know what I am going to tell him but I needed to suss it out for myself. I couldn't take Leah's word for it, in the past she liked to cause shit.

I walked into Paul's yard and before I could make it to the front step he was at the door waiting for me.

"What's up", he said eyeing me.

"Nothing, I just saw Jemma, she said your dad needed stuff from the drug store, I am checking he is alright?"

Paul walked out onto the porch and sat on one of the old chairs.

"Yea man, it was just his blood pressure tablets", he yawned.

"Do you like Jemma?"

I didn't intend on getting straight to the point but it just came out, I hadn't realised how possessive I had become of her but the closer I got to him, the more I could smell her scent on his clothes.

I knew nothing had happened but it pissed me off he had been with her.

"Umm...Ok where did that come from?"

Paul was sitting up a little straighter, he noticed my sudden change in mood and was wary of me. "Answer the question Paul I want to know!"

"Ok, dad, yes I like her a little… she is more laid back than most chicks I know. What are you her dad?" he scoffed trying to stir me up.

"No, I am not her dad but… But…"

I couldn't get out what I wanted to say then Pauls eyes lit up.

"You were in her yard last night weren't you, she said a giant wolf was in her back yard…you dirty dog, you're after Jemma too aren't you?"

He laughed and I started taking big breaths to keep myself from wringing his neck, I hadn't expected him to know about last night.

Paul suddenly got a cheeky look in his eyes again.

"Well... I can share her with you Boss I don't mind"

He was raising his eyebrows up and down at me. I couldn't help my self, I growled deep from my belly, raised a fist and planted it straight in his eye socket.

"Don't talk about her like that ever… got it?"

Paul was holding his hand over his eye, I could feel he was about to phase, so I took a step back and jumped off the porch running into the woods behind his house so I too could phase out of sight.

I looked behind me and Paul was close on my heels as I hit the tree line I felt the air shift around me as I phased and I heard the tearing and growling behind me letting me know Paul was phasing too.

"What the fuck Jake" I heard Paul say in my head.

Before I could turn around he was on me, biting and tearing at my back, I reared up on my hind legs and twisted it was enough to loosen his grip so I could face him.

I laid into him biting and growling, I tasted blood as I bit into his neck and shook hard.

"Jake enough" I heard Sam yell in my head and I suddenly snapped out of my rage.

'What the hell am I doing?'

I let Paul go and started stepping backwards, but that was all Paul needed to attack again he got hold of one of my front legs and threw me to the ground.

"She is my imprint, you fucking dog!"

Paul abruptly stopped attacking me and took a few steps back phasing back to human.

I followed suit and a few seconds later was lying on the dirt ground naked.

"What the fuck Jake, why didn't you just tell me?" Paul yelled.

"So your not still sulking over Bella? You have been a hermit because you imprinted?" Seth said appearing behind me Sam walking beside him.

"Yes" I groaned "I am sorry guys I just wasn't ready to tell you yet I needed to work it out myself, try and get to know her, you know?"

"We understand" Sam said speaking for the first time "It all makes sense now" he said coming and taking a seat next to me giving me a light punch in the shoulder "congrats".

"Yea congrats Jake" Seth said running over patting me on the shoulder.

I looked to Paul who was still standing in front of me.

"I am sorry man I have never felt so jealous, I would of killed you!"

'Hurt me a bit? Maybe, kill me? Never… I let you have that one" he sat on the ground too.

"I understand now, man I wish you had of told me but I will get over it, as long a your finally happy man you deserve it."

I was actually shocked that Paul wished well of me for once, lately he had not one good word to say about me.

"So" said Sam "when do we meet her?"

"Yea", piped in Seth excitedly "a new wolf girl..."

"Look I don't want her finding out about us yet okay so," I said looking at Seth "no new wolf girls for a while".

Sam stood up "that's fair, we will all understand and help you with whatever you need to do Jake. Jemma will be different to the other imprints, she is not Quileute, she doesn't know our legends and the others will have to respect that."

I sighed in relief that Sam understood perfectly my fears about scaring her off.

"Yea okay, so we're bonded again…awesome! But can we go bond at Emily's over lunch, when we are not so naked?" Paul said laughing and standing up running off towards Sam's house.

We all started laughing and one by one phased and took off towards some great smelling food.

I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders I would tell the other pack members at lunch. I had not had lunch at Emily's since I first laid eyes on Jemma.

'Emily would probably be mad at me'

I reached the back of Sam's house I was the last one in.

I phased and started walking up to the house, Embry appeared at the back door and chucked me a pair of sweats.

"Here man, what's this news you have to tell us? Hurry up we are waiting!" he turned to go back inside.

I sighed as I walked up the back steps to my surprise all 16-pack members were scattered around the dining table, kitchen and lounge we had never been here all at once.

"Hi Emily."

I walked up to her, she smiled warmly at me, I looked at her swollen Belly.

"Wow your getting big Emily!"

"Gee thanks Jake…he is going to be a big boy" she smiled touching her belly.

"Or girl" Sam said.

They were so happy to be having a baby, it's all Sam thought about and that's why he stepped down from his Alpha spot so easily as I think.

After we all ate and I listened into what everyone was up to, a silence fell across the house and I knew it was my turn to talk.

"So I am sorry I have been avoiding you all lately…" before I could go on Brady interrupted

"You have been avoiding us?"

Quil hit him over the head and Emily shushed them.

"Yes I have been avoiding you guys, because nearly 3 weeks ago I imprinted."

There was a stunned silence, it was Quil who broke it.

"On the new girl Jemma, it's her isn't it?"

"Yes its her…"

Leave it up to one of my best friend and cousin to figure it out straight away. The rest of the pack started talking all at once then, besides Leah who was quietly sitting in the corner as usual.

There were a barrage of questions and congratulations but mainly "when do we meet her" was asked.

"Well tomorrow you will see her, but I will invite her to a bonfire in a little… she isn't Quileute, she doesn't know anything about us. Jem has said she will go out with me tomorrow night so that's a start."

Emily spoke up for the first time then, wrinkling her nose

"And you're bringing her to meet everyone on your first date? Is that a good idea?"

"Oh no hell no! She is helping at the bake sale tomorrow, that's where you will see her, I haven't figured out where I am taking her yet on our date."

"Really" Emily said before anyone else "I am helping at it too, so I will meet her" she seemed pleased with herself and if anyone was to meet her tomorrow I would want it to be Emily.

"There's one last thing…" I said interrupting everyone "I let her see me." They looked at me in confusion except for Paul and Leah who were smirking

"I let her see the wolf me," I said again

"Oh" said Sam first, "well now we know not to go near her house or her dad might start firing shots!"

Everyone laughed and they started to suggest some good spots to take Jemma for a date.

"And flowers" Seth interjected "chicks like flowers" then he blushed.

"And how would you know" Leah yelled from the corner. We all laughed and joked around a bit and eventually the subject was changed.

After a few hours of hanging out with the pack I headed home, I wasn't on patrol tonight but I knew I would go to be near Jemma.

I hoped eventually she would let me sleep with her, holding her close, chasing the nightmares away.

I sat down in the garage and wondered if I should make her a dream catcher, but I didn't know if that was weird seeming I made one for Bella but after much thinking, I decided to do it. It would be better than the one I made Bella, so I set to it collecting everything I needed.

I worked on it for hours until it was time to go sit by her house and as I phased I felt something I hadn't felt in a while…Hope… It was like a whole new world out there waiting for me.

Jemma's P.O.V:

I woke on Saturday morning to mum shaking me.

"Come on sleeping beauty up and at em we have to be there in an hour."

I yawned and peeked up at my clock 6am, usually I would be horrified being up so early but not today…today I get to see Jacob.

I smiled to myself as I got out of bed. Last night I had laid out my clothes and straightened my hair before I went to bed, so all I would have to do is get up and get dressed.

I picked a pair of grey pants that hugged my bottom nicely and a tight fitted long sleeved shirt that I knew no one was going to see since I would be wearing my Eskimo jacket.

I quickly went in to the bathroom, brushed my teeth and put my hair in a side pony. My skin was actually liking this Forks weather besides my usual cleanse, tone and moisturise, I hadn't had to wear foundation in ages, my skin was clear for once in my life.

Today though I put on a tinted moisturiser, a little mascara and eye liner, not a lot just enough to make my eyes look a bit bigger. Then I quickly put some clear lip balm on and ran down stairs, mum had a coffee and piece of toast waiting for me, bless her cotton socks.

"You look nice" mum said with slightly accusing eyes.

"Thanks mum you too", I said as I sat down and had a bite out of my toast and slowly sipped my coffee.

"Okay lets go" mum said.

We started putting all the cupcakes and tarts in the back of the car, mum laughed at me when I carefully put the seat belts around the trays, I did not want all my hard work going all over the car if we had to break fast.

We arrived at the La Push high school and we parked the car, there was lots of activity, people pulling things out of cars and carrying them into the direction of what I guessed to be the gym.

The sky was cloudy and I wondered if it would snow, I have never seen snow and was secretly excited about it.

I was juggling two giant trays of cupcakes and following mum who had the trays of tarts when I heard my name being sung out

"Jemma…Jemma."

I looked around carefully so not to drop the cupcakes when I saw Paul, he was with a woman she was pregnant; her belly was nice and round through her thick coat. As they got closer I couldn't help but notice that half of this poor woman's face was scarred, like she had been burnt badly or mauled by an animal.

I wasn't one to stare though so as they got close I just smiled my brightest smile.

"Hi Paul how are you?"

"I am good," he said grabbing one of the trays for me I sighed in relief.

"Thanks heaps."

I looked to the woman and put out my free hand.

"Hey I am Jemma…"

She looked surprised as she took my hand.

"Hi I am Emily… A friend of Jake's… and Paul's"

Emily blushed slightly and quickly looked at the cupcakes in the trays.

"Wow they look good", she said.

I knew indeed they did they were in sets of 4, they were chocolate and I had iced them white and put edible glitter on some and made fondant candy canes and mistletoe to put on them. It was the first Christmassy thing I have done and it kind of made me look forward to a cold Christmas.

"Thanks I worked mega hard yesterday on them."

We continued the walk to the gym.

"I am helping out at the bake sale today too" Emily said, "I made mini puddings,"

"They are pretty good Jem you will need to get a few" Paul said nudging Emily.

"Yes well, if Paul had anything to do with it I would have had no pudding to bring today!"

Emily laughed her laughter was musical and pretty, I can imagine that once you got to know her you would never notice her scars.

We walked into the warm gym and it was a buzz with people rushing around setting everything up. I followed Emily and Paul to our stand and Paul set the tray down in an empty spot on the tables and I followed suit.

"Jemma there you are" mum said, "I thought you had gotten lost."

Mum was standing with a woman a little older than her and a younger girl a little older than me.

"Mum, this is Emily and Paul" I said introducing them mum smiled and said "hi".

"And this is Sue and Leah, Sue is Charlie's partner…"

"Hi how are you?" I said noticing Leah was looking at me weird, not in a mean way just weird.

Emily walked around to where mum, Sue and Leah were standing and gave Sue a hug and said a quite "hey" to Leah who just mumbled a response… uncomfortable much I thought.

"Paul" Sue said, "Can you go to my car and grab the last of the trays please?"

She handed him her car keys and he walked off, so obviously they knew each other but I guessed in small place, such as La Push and Forks, everyone would know everyone.

The 5 of us set to unpacking everything and setting it up, it was only half an hour till people should start arriving.

Paul was back in no time with 3 trays of different cakes and tarts or pies they call them here. There was no room for them so we popped them away until some space was cleared.

People started piling into the gym and in no time we were really busy.

After 2 hours of craziness, it started to slow down I was pretty buggered just from talking, everyone I served asked the same questions…

"Where are you from?" and "Whose daughter are you?"

Mum got the same though, which made me feel better. Emily, Leah and I sat down in the 3 chairs in our stall and started chatting about different things.

Leah didn't say much at all but I found out that Emily's baby was due 3 days after my birthday on the 22nd of February. Leah looked to be a bit of a tomboy, I noticed she wore a pair of ripped old jeans, a tank top and a pair of sneakers. Her hair was chin length and she didn't wear any make up, she was quite stunning though, I could imagine in a nice dress with her hair done she would be a looker.

Three guys walked up to the stand and I recognised one of them to be Quil.

"Hey Quil" I said standing up and waving.

"Jemma" Emily said standing also holding her lower back "this is my Sam" she said gesturing towards the guy in the middle.

"Hi Sam" I said standing and shaking his hand "nice to meet you."

"You too Jemma" he said warmly taking my hand in his. His voice was kinda of deep and boomed around us.

"Jem this is Embry" Quil said pointing to his friend.

"Hi Embry" I said smiling at him.

"Hey" was all he said before a caramel tart caught his attention.

"Yea so I will take one of those and some cupcakes and 2 pudding please girls", I laughed thinking he was joking but Leah just rolled her eyes and started getting it together for him.

"Your family will love you for bringing all this home" I said to him, Leah and Emily scoffed.

"Family? Jemma this is all for me, I have been hanging out for this all week" he said grabbing the small box of goodies and chucking it under his arm.

The boys moved on to go have a look around and another group of guys came up to the table and started speaking to Emily, who called me over to introduce them to me.

I was touched, that Emily felt the need to introduce me to nearly everyone that came up to the table.

"Jemma this is Jared, Collin, Brady and Rich…"

They all said "hello" and like Embry brought a heap of treats and moved on to the next stall.

"Gee this is a small town," I said to Leah "you guys have so many friends… and I cannot get over the guys around here!"

"What do you mean?" Leah asked looking curiously at me.

"Well, your mums must have been popping steroids while they were pregnant, every guy I have met here is over 6 foot and looks like they work out all day long! Its really messing with a girls self esteem" I joked laughing.

I don't think she got my joke though because, she just smiled and went back to arranging the tables.

I started unpacking one of the full trays of cakes onto the tables when I heard a familiar voice.

"Well, well finally doing some work huh?"

It was Bryce, along with Paul and 2 others boys I didn't recognise they were younger than Paul but still just as huge.

"Gee Bryce, and where were you at 6 am this morning? Out ploughing the fields?"

"Getting my beauty sleep actually" he laughed, he went to touch a cupcake and I swatted his hand away.

"You touch you buy brother dear!"

"Feel the love." Paul laughed.

"Jemma, this is Nate and Alex…"

"How are you?" I said nodding to them smiling, I had soon got over shaking everyone's hands and asking how there day was going because in truth I was starting to worry I wouldn't remember anyone's names.

"Bryce, this is Emily and Leah and that's Sue over there" I said pointing to Sue who gave a quick wave and went back to work.

"Hey ladies how are you? Bryce said laying on the charm, I looked at Leah who had suddenly stopped what she was doing, her eyes were as wide as saucers and she had gone a little pale.

"Are you ok Leah?" Emily asked concerned.

"I don't feel well " Leah said turning on her heels and taking off into the crowd.

Emily looked at Bryce and shrugged apologetically.

"Bet you have that effect on all the girls Bryce" Paul said nudging Bryce with his elbow.

I laughed as Bryce's face turned a nice shade of pink. I was just about to turn to see if I could spot Leah to see if she was ok but I was sidetracked…I spotted Jacob, walking he was wheeling a man in a wheel chair around being trailed by Quil, Embry and another guy who was younger than him a brother maybe?

He disappeared into the crowd and my mouth turned into a disappointed frown as I went back to work, it was only an hour to go until it was time to start packing up 4 hours had flown by.

I was rearranging trays when I heard him at the stall next door I whipped my head up to see Jake talking with a man, he was smiling and using his hands, he was so attractive, it was almost sickening and I couldn't help but notice all the female attention he was getting. Nearly every girl and woman who passed him looked.

I was dragged from my thoughts by a little girl with black hair near her chin and big brown eyes, she would have been about 4 and she was counting some coins in her hand.

"Cuse me?" she asked.

"Hello" I said and walked around the tables and kneeled in front of her.

"Is 5 coins enough for some cupcakes?"

My heart melted and I looked around for her parents, I smiled at her.

"You know not usually, but for a girl as pretty as you I think I can make an exception."

She beamed up at me and I picked her up and gently set her on the table and let her choose which ones she wanted. She was smiling from ear to ear and took a cup cake from its box and bit into it, getting chocolate and white icing all around her mouth and on her little button nose. She then looked over at Emily and giggled.

"Aunty Emily!"

Emily looked up startled.

"Claire what are you doing, where's your mum and dad?" she said coming over to her.

I told Emily how she was counting her money and I couldn't bare not to give her the cupcakes, Emily just smiled softly at me and said it was ok.

I heard a panicked male voice through the crowd.

"Claire where have you been?"

Quil ran over and picked Claire up hugging her tight to his chest.

"Oh you scared me, your mum is looking everywhere for you!"

"Quillll" Claire whined "I told mummy I wanted cup cakes so I took my money and came to get them she was too busy talking".

Quil set her back down on the table.

"I am going to go call off the search party…"

I looked at Emily.

"Is this Quill's little sister?" I said getting a napkin and wiping her nose and mouth.

"No, no, he is just a good family friend and I am not really her Aunty we are cousins."

"Oh okay, isn't he sweet with her?" I said smiling at Claire.

I was about to turn around when I felt a hand on my waist.

"Hey" Jake whispered in my ear.

I got goose bumps and turned to face him.

"Hey" I smiled.

"Uncle Jakey" Claire cried.

"Claire, how are you honey?"

Jake went to stand in front of her and scruffed up the hair on her head, she just giggled at him and offered him some of her half eaten cup cake.

"Ah no thanks" Jake laughed.

Quil appeared then and picked up Claire and her cupcakes.

"Say bye, bye Clair Bear" he said telling Emily he was returning her to her mum.

"Bye, bye" she said waving at us.

"Nawwwhhh, she is the cutest", I said smiling at Emily.

"I bet your baby will be just as cute!"

"I hope so too" Emily beamed at me.

"Jemma" Jake called me I looked to him and realised he was standing with my dad… and the 2 others I had seen before.

I felt a little awkward as I walked over to them.

"Jemma this is my dad Billy"

I smiled down at Billy, the man who Jake had been pushing round in the wheel chair.

"Hello Billy, its nice to meet you" I said wiping the bits of chocolate from Claire's face on my pants and shaking his hand.

"Nice to meet you too" he said smiling at me then looking at his son blankly for a second.

"Jemma, Billy has invited us to a bit of a gathering next weekend, so make sure you remind me to tell your mum" dad said.

"Okay dad."

This couldn't have turned out any better if I had planned it myself, a date with Jake tonight then a family gathering next weekend!

Charlie came along then and started chatting with Billy and Dad, the young boy who had taken Jacobs place pushing Billy came up to me.

"Hi I am Seth, Sue's son…" he said pointing to Sue who along with my mum had started packing things up.

"Oh hi nice to meet you, I was here with Leah but she disappeared before" I said looking around hoping to catch sight of her.

"Well I better help out here, umm Jake do you want my mobile number..?"

"Your what?"

"My mobile, you know Cell number? Whatever you call it here." I said feeling a little alien.

"Oh yea, sure, sure" he said grabbing out his cell from his pocket he typed in the keypad a little then handed it to me to put my number in. After I had done it and handed it back.

"Wait I need your picture now."

"Eww no Jake I take terrible pictures…" I said hiding my face he grabbed my hand and bent his face closer to mine.

"I bet you don't…. please" he gave me these puppy dog eyes that made me melt.

"Okay, okay lets do this then" I smiled a cheesy grin and once he was happy with it he quickly gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"I will text you in a few hours to organise tonight" and with that he walked off Seth trailing behind giving me a silly grin.

"Ok what was that Jemma" Mum said to me once I was back in the stall.

"What mum?"

I was trying to play dumb.

"Jacob Black, getting your number then kissing you" she said trying to keep the grin off her face, Sue giggled behind mum.

"Well, I am going on a date with him tonight mum, is that okay?" I asked sarcastically.

I started stacking the empty trays and wiping the tables.

"Well you could do worse" Mum smiled, looking over at Jake.

"Eww mum, did you just perve on him? You cradle snatcher!"

I teased her but she just laughed and swatted at me while she continued on.

By the time we had everything packed up and clean I was buggered and needed to get home to start getting ready for my date.

I looked around for Emily to say bye, when I spotted her with Sam, he was holding his hands on her stomach smiling and then he kissed her so tenderly. He couldn't take his eyes away from her, it was the same kind of devotion I had seen in Quill's eyes, except it was the love of a man and woman.

"How perfect" I whispered longing for someone to look at me that way…
