A New World

Chapter 12

Jacobs P.O.V:

I looked Jemma over, her nose was turning pink from the cold and she was blinking those thick, long lashes at me.

"I have to go meet the Cullen's, about what happened this morning and I wanted to ask your opinion Jem."

Jemma's eyes widened a little.

"You want my advice on Vampires and Werewolf stuff?"

I laughed pushing my feet against the ground, the porch swing started to rock backwards and forwards.

"Yes…no…hmm," I huffed in annoyance, I couldn't get out what I wanted to say, "I want to ask what you think of something but I need to tell you a few things first…"

Jemma pulled one of her legs up onto the swing and sat back and looked at me expectantly. I pulled the blanket that was sitting between us over Jemma's legs and moved closer to her. I loved that she was trying to act like she was okay with everything. But I could see right through her, behind her big chocolate eyes was panic and fear. I knew she wasn't scared of me, so that was a start but I needed to tell her about Bella…the whole thing.

"When I was 15, Charlies daughter, Bella, moved back to town…" I began and I didn't leave out a single detail. It was almost 2 hours later I finished. Jemma was sitting quietly, stunned I think. I could see tears brimming in her eyes, threatening to spill. My stomach dropped, I did this, I have made her cry.

"I don't love her anymore Jemma… I."

"I know Jake you told me, it's just this is mad, crazy! I have had enough for one day, I can't take anymore…"

Jemma started shaking her head and sobbing, bringing her knees up to cover her eyes. I let her cry even though I wanted to hug her and whisper it would be ok in her ear, I knew she needed some space. After a while she stopped crying but her shoulders started to shake… was she laughing?

Then her laughter rang out in the night, I looked at her bewildered.

'Fuck…I have sent her mad now'.

Jemma looked up at the roof and wiped her face with the sleeve of her jacket, she was still laughing a kind of hysterical laugh.

"This is not what I expected when I moved here…you know…" Jemma said, she had stopped laughing, staring out to the yard.

"I know and I am sorry…"

"Stop saying your sorry Jacob, you cant change the past or who you are and I wouldn't want you too…Now, if you are asking me my opinion on wether you should allow them to stay here? Then I guess I would say yes in the end… but Renesmee cannot be left alone, until she has some self-control…if that's what you even call it and is it even my place to have an opinion? But you already knew you would let her stay…didn't you?"

I was shocked, she was right, I would let them stay…only because Renesmee was a baby, the pack agreed, but only if Jemma did too, after all it was her that Ness had nearly taken a bit out of.

"Yeah, I had decided…but only if you agreed and yes, you have a right to an opinion Jemma."

"You know what worries me Jake, the whole time you were talking I couldn't help but think…you chose her, you chose to love her and you pursued her endlessly. But me…well you didn't pick me, I was chosen for you…Does that bother you at all? Cause it bothers the fuck out of me!"

Before I could protest, Jemma was up on her feet, the blanket falling to the ground.

"I need to get home… I will get one of the girls to take me, I know you have things to do…"

Jemma was mad now, I could smell it on her and I was actually scared to say anything…I was amused…me the big bad wolf, scared of a girl.

"I will speak to you tomorrow."

I just stood there, like an idiot, as she walked past me and back into the house.

'What just happened?'

I slumped back onto the chair and put my hands in my hair. Sam came out and sat beside me.

"Hmm…didn't go so well?"

"No…it didn't" I sighed leaning my head on the back of the chair sighing.

"Give her time Jake…It's been a heck of a day…she has done better then Emily did."

"She was right you know…to think that I chose Bella, not her."

"You just have to show her Jake, that you are over Bella and let her get used to all this, it wont happen over night."

I stood up, he was right it wouldn't happen over night but hopefully soon, she would see that I really care about her.

I glanced through the window before I left, Jemma was inside with the girls, Leah included. Emily had her arm around Jem and Kim was handing Jemma a cup.

I was surprised that the girls had taken to her so easily, especially Leah.

"Looks as if they are going to be a pack, all of their own." I nodded towards the girls as I started towards the car.

'I will give you time Jemma, but not too much time.'

I decided in that moment that there was no way Jemma was getting away from me, if she thought it sounded like I had pursued Bells, well she hadn't seen anything yet.

Jemma's P.O.V:

I sniffed, wiping my eyes and nose with the tissue Emily had given me. I then grabbed the glass of vodka and lemonade Leah had made for me. Her and Kim each had one as well and Emily had plain lemonade. I suddenly got a strange feeling like I had been here before.

'Hmm déjà vu.'

"It gets easier Jemma, the worrying about wether the love is real" Emily said quietly sipping her lemonade, with her other hand she was making swirly patterns on her baby bump.

"It does Jemma, I already loved Jared, but it was still so scary, he hadn't noticed me before the imprint."

I looked at Leah half expecting her to add to the girl's advice but instead she lifted her cup to her lips, tilted her head back and gulped down her drink.

I laughed, it must be hard for Leah, she wasn't an imprintee like the rest of us, and I could tell she was still struggling to come to grips with all her new feelings, towards my brother.

3 hours later:

Sue drove a drunken Leah and me home, we giggled and sang Aqua songs the whole way. Turns out we both have a love for 90's dance music. Emily had called Sue, I guess once Leah, Kim and I got a little out of control. Between us we had drank a bottle of vodka and all of Sam's beers; not that there were many.

"You girls ought to be ashamed of yourselves, what will your dad think Jemma?"

"Sue, in Australia you get to drink when your 18, my dad wont care I promise."

I giggled at her as we pulled up at the front of my house.

"Don't bother hopping out beautiful ladies, I can make my own way" I saluted Sue as I struggled with my seat belt. Once undone, I threw the car door open and promptly fell straight out, landing on my knees and grazing my elbows.

Sue let a shriek as she rushed out of her seat to me, Leah however was laughing so hard she was crying, she too got out of the car and leaned over me. I was in hysterics though, I couldn't breath I was laughing so hard, I lay down in the snow.

The porch light switched on and I heard footsteps coming towards us.

"Sue? Jemma?"

Mum came into view standing over me, hands on her hips and I could see Bryce behind her.

"Naomi, I am so sorry, the girls called me to bring Jemma home. My Leah isn't usually like this." Sue was mortified it was actually really cute, she truly was perfect for Charlie, very law abiding.

Leah snorted and began laughing again. I lifted my head to look at Bryce, he was looking at Leah with a small smile on his face.

"Yes well, MY Jemma is very much like this, I have never seen her this bad before though, I have to say" Mum said tapping me gently with her slipper clad foot.

"I thought you were with Jake, Jemma" Mum said lifting my hand from my stomach and pulling me into sitting position.

"We had a fight…about stuff."

Leah giggled again, and Sue shot a sharp look at her, I knew she was worried I would slip up and tell my mum the big wolfy secret.

"Already fighting… Gee you're a keeper Jem." Bryce scoffed.

I giggled and involuntary rolled to the side, letting a loud hiccup escape my lips.

"Bryce, take this rat bag inside." Mum said trying to hide her smile.

Bryce nodded to Leah and Sue.

"Nice to see you again ladies."

"Aww what a perfect gentleman" I winked at Leah who burst out laughing.

Sue slapped her across the shoulder.

"Get in the car Leah Clearwater, this instant" Sue said, "I am sorry Leah got Jemma into such a state Naomi."

"Again, don't worry, Jemma is a big girl now, she can take care of herself."

Bryce bent down and grabbed one of my hands and as he stood pulled me over his shoulder, I waved to Leah and gave her a thumbs up as Bryce started up the porch stairs. But Leah didn't have a chance to respond, Sue slammed the car door shut. She was pissed off!

"You are rotten Jemma, you do realise that in small towns like this, the deputy's daughter is not meant to be getting this drunk."

Bryce struggled up the stairs with me and finally made it to my room, dumping me on my bed.

"What happened with Jake?"

B pulled off my ugg boots, which were soaked from the snow and chucked them over by my heater, which he switched on.

"I don't know, you know, its all very confusing", I said carelessly as I stumbled to the bathroom to change into my pajamas. I couldn't care less for a shower right now.

Bryce was still in my room when I emerged, I had let my hair down, not bothering to brush it, but had brushed my teeth, ridding them of the furry feeling from the vodka.

Mum entered my room, shaking her finger at me.

"Bloody hell Jemma, you are going to have Charlie onto you! And I have told you if you want to drink, do it at home AND drinking never solves problems!"

Mum wasn't angry, just annoyed and probably embarrassed Sue had seen me so pissed.

"Okay, okay mum, I am sorry, it was just meant to be one but that turned into a bottle", I giggled as I walked over to mum with my arms out. I was pouting, as I did when I was a child, I knew she wouldn't be able to resist.

"And I think I have made 3 new girlfriends, so you should be happy, I had fun tonight."

Mum sighed, I knew the prospect of me having friends here pleased her, so she wouldn't be annoyed anymore.

"Just inform me before you go having another drunken escapade, and your punishment for tonight will be a head ache in the morning you know."

Mum kissed my head and left, probably going to bed, she had her first day of work tomorrow.

Bryce helped me into bed and tucked me in.

"I am jealous", he sighed as he lay down beside me.

"Why?"

"You didn't even want to come here, and look at you, a boyfriend and friends. I wanted to come and…nada. No friends or a girl in sight. My life has become fucking boring."

I had to bite my tongue I wanted to tell Bryce everything, but I couldn't just yet.

"It will happen soon Brycie, I promise, I can feel it."

"You sounded like Nana, just then."

I closed my eyes and thought of my Nan, my dads mum, she had died 2 years ago and I missed her terribly. She was so full of life and her favourite saying was "It will happen soon, I can feel it". Nan always had visitors round for cups of tea, she had so many teacups and teapots, and I loved looking at them.

I giggled thinking of how she would make Bryce and I drink tea with her, we were always annoyed it interrupted our playtime.

Bryce jumped at the sound of my laughter.

"I thought you had passed out. Well I am going to bed Jem, I was falling asleep."

I didn't open my eyes, they were too heavy, but I felt Bryce's lips on my forehead before he left.

'I am lucky to have a good brother, I hope Leah is good to him.'

I drifted off to sleep very quickly once Bryce turned my lights, not even Jake could enter my pre bedtime thoughts tonight.

But he did enter my dreams. I awoke in the morning, slowly opening my eyes, even though my head was pounding from the hang over my mother had promised, I couldn't help but think of the dream I had the night before.

I awoke on a vintage wrought iron bed in the snow covered forest, I was not cold though. There in front of me, I saw a lady in a white dressing gown standing at the foot of the bed. She was a Native American woman, stunning, with long black, straight hair. Her skin was a perfect golden, russet colour like Jakes and she had large chocolate brown eyes that gleamed as she smiled and put her hand out for me.

I felt completely at ease as I reached for her hand and slid off the bed, she led me to a small clearing where there was a table set for tea. It was sitting in front of an old run down cottage that had flowery vines growing all over it. The woman sat me down and took a seat beside me, she poured me a cup of tea and I began sipping it as she watched me happily. Once I finished my tea, she took the cup from and peered inside of it.

"Hmm, yes, you are the right one for my Jake."

"Excuse me?"

I was so very confused and suddenly it dawned on me.

"You are Jacobs mother?"

"Yes, my name is Sarah. I had to come meet you myself Jemma."

She put my teacup down and placed her warm hand on top of mine.

"Please be patient with my baby Jemma, he carries a big burden and if you let him learn, he will be the most wonderful partner, I just know it."

"I will try."

Sarah smiled at me as she studied my face.

"My grandchildren will be very beautiful. It will make my heart sing to watch them play."

Sarah started to fade away, turning into mist that filled the clearing. As the mist thickened, my eyes grew heavy and I laid my head on the table and drifted to sleep.

That's when I woke.

'Aghhh I am losing my shit.'

I sat up and stretched, I could hear my phone beeping from my jacket pocket in the bathroom. I got up and stumbled over to it.

I hurt all over my hand, my knees, my bottom and my elbows. The events of yesterday slowly replaying in my head, I shuddered.

'I wonder how the Cullen meeting went?'

I picked my phone up, 3 messages. I plopped on the bathroom floor, it hurt to stand.

One text from Leah:

You were fucking hilarious last night. I hope you aren't too sick! Lets do it again tonight ha ha.

'Lets not…please.'

One from Mum:

I am at work, I hope you have a horrid head ache miss Jemma. I made you breakfast. Love you.

I laughed I knew she couldn't be too mad at me…and now, I knew for certain because she made me breakfast.

The last text was from Jake:

Morning.

Simple… I guess he was letting me know he wasn't going anywhere. I sighed, I was really curious about my dream and wanted to text him to ask him mothers name. But that was a little full on so I decided against it…it will wait.

I laid in the fetal position on the cold floor, nodding off asleep again. That was until my tummy reminded me I was starving…I made my way downstairs.

'What will the day bring today?'

Jacobs P.O.V:

I lay in bed, hands behind my head, staring at the ceiling. I had not gone to Jemma's last night. I wanted to give her some space and I wasn't on patrol, so for the first time in ages I went to sleep before midnight.

After I left Sam's, we had gone to the treaty line and met the Cullen's.

Flash back:

Sam, Paul, Jared, Seth and I were waiting for them, in human form. We were not so nervous around the Cullen's anymore. I remembered a time when we would not phase from wolf form around them.

I smelt them before I saw them, Carlisle, Jasper, Alice, Edward and Bella. I had expected it to be them that came.

"Jacob."

Carlisle nodded to me and then greeted the boys.

"Gentleman.'

"Thank you Jacob, thank you for understanding."

"Stay out of my head Edward, just because WE decided does not make this all peachy, I have new guidelines!"

I felt anger creeping through me, he had a nerve, he always got what he wanted.

Sam stepped forward and started speaking.

"Renesmee cannot be left unattended again, because if she pulls a stunt like that again…I will rip her to shreds myself. Baby or not."

Sam was angry the pack had out voted him. He had wanted to kill Ness, tonight.

"We mean it Edward, you should know from my thoughts. If she had of bit Jemma, venomous or not, she would be dead already."

Edward didn't seem so talkative anymore, he stepped back a little.

"Jake, thank you so much, I will owe you for the rest of my life." Bella stepped forward, she came right up to me and hugged me. Usually I would of hugged her back, leech or not but I couldn't anymore, I didn't feel anything for her and her smell was making me feel sick. I lifted one of my hands from my side and patted her back twice, awkwardly.

Bella got the hint and stood back, she actually looked sad. I did feel a pang of guilt then for making her feel that way, but things were different now.

"Jacob, I had the chance to mend Jemma's hand at the hospital, she seems to be a wonderful woman."

All eyes flew to Carlisle, he obviously had not mentioned this to the other Cullen's. I was surprised because Jemma had not told me either.

'I guess we didn't have a chance to talk about it.'

"We have something to tell you also…Alice?" Carlisle said looking to Alice.

'What?" I demanded.

'God please don't let the Volturi be coming back.'

"I have been having visions for about 2 months now…"

'Here we go.' I sighed and looked to the sky, it had started snowing.

"About Jemma…"

"WHAT?" Sam and I shouted at the same time.

We looked at each other horrified.

"What do you mean, I thought you couldn't see past us Alice." I said accusingly, had she been lying all along?

"Well, I have been having visions of her, before she moved here. I didn't know why, they were just glimpses. I knew she was going to be at the movies that night..."

'Of course I knew it wasn't coincidence.'

"I didn't know she would be with you though…obviously I cant see her with you at all, and I had no idea she was your imprint, it had been driving me crazy not knowing who she was, but as soon as I smelt Jemma I knew, I knew she was yours. All I know is that she has dreams…I think she may be gifted psychically and we are going to be friends."

Alice was quite chuffed with herself. I however was not!

"Why didn't you tell me straight away? What have you seen exactly?"

I didn't want her having visions about my Jemma, did it mean something bad was going to happen.

"Nothing bad Jake, we would have told you otherwise. And we were going to tell you but… Renesmee… happened, so here we are." Edward said speaking up, he could hear the panic in my thoughts.

"Well you will tell me straightaway, if you have another one Alice..." I said not looking at Edward.

"Of course Jacob, I have only seen her with me…shopping or talking…girly stuff you could say…and once I had a vision of her dreaming, which is why I think she has Psychic ability."

"It is unusual Jacob, usually Alice's visions have a purpose, but they don't seem to at the moment." Carlisle spoke up, as usual he was the calming force.

"I think we are done here for the moment, keep Renesmee under control Edward."

I turned and started walking off, I could hear Seth talking to Bella, he still was friends with them and I knew he went to vamp HQ nearly everyday. He was always thinking about going over there.

"Seth, come on!" I yelled, not bothering to look back at them, I heard Seth sigh.

"Bye guys."

"Jake, you are weak because of your feelings for Bella." Sam whispered heatedly.

"Aw fuck Sam, give it a rest." Seth sighed.

I smacked Seth across the back of the head quicker then he could blink.

"Don't talk like that Seth, you're still a kid."

The other guys snickered and Paul pushed Seth teasingly.

"I am going home…find someone else to patrol for me tonight" Sam said and then stormed off in the direction of his house.

I stood and watched him go, the others walking ahead of me into the darkness.

End Flash Back.

Sam was angry that I had not killed Renesmee but he will have to get over it eventually. He didn't answer his phone when I tried to call him last night. He will get over it soon, I hope.

I had messaged Jemma when I woke up, I didn't really know what to say so I just said 'morning', it was a bit lame but I just wanted her to know I wasn't going anywhere, anytime soon.

It bothered me that Alice could see Jemma, but surprisingly the good out weighed the bad. At least if anything bad is going to happen to her, Alice will be able to give me a heads up.

"Jake…Jacob!" Dad was calling me from the kitchen.

I sighed and got up, it was 9am already I had actually been in my bed for 7 hours, a record.

"What's up dad?"

"I made you breakfast."

Dad set a plate of bacon, eggs and pancakes with maple syrup drizzled over them. My stomach groaned and my mouth starting watering.

"Gee, you out did yourself old man…thanks."

Dad just huffed at me and wheeled himself up to the table.

"So what's your plan Jacob?"

"What do you mean?"

I was too busy throwing pancake in my mouth to really be listening to dad right now.

"I mean now that things are settling down and you have found Jemma. You need to start thinking about what YOU want Jake and you need to help the pack settle into a semi normal life. The world does not revolve around leeches and wolves."

I put my fork down and swallowed the last bits of pancake.

"You are right dad, I do need to start thinking about these things. I know we all need to start getting back into normal life…"

We didn't say anything more, isn't really our style to talk about our feelings.

After breakfast I couldn't help but think, I thought about all the pack members in turn. I thought about Jemma, I thought about me. What do I want?

I changed into a pair of sweats and an old shirt.

"Dad I am going for a run."

Dad just nodded, a twinkle in his eye, I think he was pleased I was going for a normal jog.

I ran all the way to the treaty line and then up along it, I looked down and noticed my shoelace was undone, I stopped and bent over, tying it back up. I stood back up just in time to see Seth, running in human form. He was coming over from the Cullen's territory; I was surprised he didn't smell me.

'I need to talk to that boy about keeping his senses open.'

Why was he so distracted? I looked carefully at his face and something in me switched on like a light bulb. Its definitely time I called a meeting.

Hope you liked it…I would love it if you click review. Any ideas, questions or thoughts welcome!
