Hello everyone! just a quick note.

All three of my stories, My Escape, A Little Longer, And Unfortunate Love, will all be being updated with the same name. The Eye of the Storm.

Why? These are the chapters that set up the big drama that will begin.

ALSO, my chapters will now be a little shorter. This is a bittersweet thing. Bitter because you will have less to read. But sweet, because I will update quicker. And so it will be spaced out a little more. And this goes for all of my stories.

ALSO, school is starting soon so I don't know how often I will be updating. But i will try my hardest.

Enjoy :)

The Eye of the Storm

We made a plan last night. All we had to do was stick to it and everything would be okay. Last night was magical for me. Edward and I returned home to have 'alone time'. We were just so worked up about Lucas, we needed each others' company. I knew Jacob had a ear full of us.

But this morning, the weirdest thing happened. I woke up with a very bad stomach feeling. I hurried to the bathroom and emptied my stomach multiple times. Edward was there, holding my hair back.

"Edward. What's happening?" We were both sitting on our bed. He looked at me with concern before his eyes turned wide. "Edward?" I waved my hand in front of his face and froze with a movement in my stomach. I gasped and my hand flew to the site. I felt movement again and my eyes widened as well. I tried doing the math in my head, when was my last period? Oh no. This cannot be happening. "Carlisle!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. I knew he would hear me and so would everyone else.

Jacob was there first. He took in the image of us on the bed, my hand to my stomach and Edward frozen in shock, his eyes widened as well. "Holy sh-"

"What's going on?" Carlisle entered the room, cutting Jacob off. He moved towards us slowly. "Bella… What's wrong?" I was frozen as well.

"Can vampires go into shock?" I asked dumbly. I looked over at Edward and so did Carlisle.

"Has he been harmed?" I shook my head. He nodded and moved to me.

"I think I'm pregnant." Carlisle gasped and so did everyone else who was standing in the doorway. Alice was crying softly into Jasper's shoulder. "Alice? Why are you crying?"

"You disappeared, Bella. I didn't know what it meant…" She continued to sob and Lizzy gave her a quizzical look.

"What's wrong Auntie B?" I smiled at her weakly.

"I'm just a little sick, sweetie." She nodded and walked to Jacob's waiting arms.

"When was your last menstrual cycle?" Carlisle was checking my stomach with his cold fingers.

"Three weeks before the first day of school." He nodded and turned to order Esme to get something. I didn't hear, something was moving in me again. "Carlisle? I swear something just moved in me right now!"

That seemed to take Edward out of his revere. His head snapped towards me and then to Carlisle. "Is it possible?"

"I think so, son. I assume you haven't been using protection the past couple of times…" I shook my head. "It's most likely possible then. What other explanation do we have?"

"I don't know!" Edward stood up in a rage. "The stomach flu, a bug, anything but a little monster inside her!" I gasped. Edward looked over at me.

"Is that what you think this is, Edward?" Tears formed in my eyes. "This is our child, not a monster." Edward ran his hands through his hair.

"If anything begins to happen to you, it's gone." I nodded and he enveloped me in a hug. I sighed in relief.

"I think it's important for you to go to school today, since the rest of us can't," said Jasper. "It's sunny today, but we still need to pull through with our plan." I nodded.

"Are you sure you feel fine?" Carlisle asked.

"For now, yes. I think I'll be fine with Jacob. And maybe I should play it safe, only eating a minimum." Everyone nodded. I showered and changed quickly. Jacob and Edward were waiting for me downstairs, everyone had already left. It was decided Lizzy and I would not leave our houses without an escort. I thought it was ridiculous, but I had no say. And neither did Lizzy since she had no idea what was going on. They flanked me on either side and took us to my Camry.

"Bye, love. If anything goes wrong, call for Jacob." I nodded and he kissed me. Then he leaned down and kissed my stomach. "And Jacob. You keep an eye and ear out for her."

"You got it, boss!" He saluted and got into the drivers' seat. I couldn't help but chuckle. Then the movement started in my womb again.

"Edward!" I gasped. I placed his hands on my stomach and his face broke into one with pure awe. He smiled at me and kissed me one more time.

We needed to drop Lizzy in her bus before we left, so we parked the car in front of Rose's house and went inside.

"Lizz!" called Jacob. "Time to go!" She came down the stairs with Emmett and Rosalie.

"You behave, okay now, pumpkin." Rose hugged her and kissed her cheek.

"Don't let the boys talk to you!" Emmett kissed her as we laughed.

"Eww, daddy. Boys are yucky." She giggled a little and grabbed Jacob's hand.

"That 'a girl." We said bye and walked out onto the sidewalk. I felt vibrating in my pocket and pulled out a small, silver phone. Edward must have slipped it in when I wasn't paying attention. It was a text from Edward.

I love you.

I smiled, typing a quick response. Then, Lizzy's bus came around the corner and she began to say her goodbyes to Jacob.

"Take care, munchkin." She laughed and hugged him. She grabbed my hand and I walked her onto the bus.

"Good morning, ladies." I smiled at the bus driver and took Lizzy to an empty seat. I buckled her in and kissed her cheek.

"Bye, sweet pea."

"Bye, Auntie B. Feel better."

We loaded up in my car. The drive to school was spent in a comfortable silence. Jacob kept glancing at me.

"I'm not going to combust, Jake." We both laughed and arrived at school. As always, it took less than two minutes for me to spot Lucas. His moss green eyes locked with mine and a smirk adorned his mouth. I wanted to slap that smirk right off him and watch as-

"Bella!" Jake hissed. "Relax. It's not good for you." I nodded and we linked arms, walking to class. Chemistry was boring without Edward and Rose. Government was the same, at least I had Jake there. I was just so anxious for Trig that I couldn't contain myself. Lucas had tried his best to talk to me all day in the hallways, but Jacob kept showing up.

I sat in my regular seat and Jacob took Edward's. To my very annoyance, Lucas took Alice's seat on the other side of me.

"Hey, Bella," he whispered in my ear. I shivered slightly, but gave him my signature death glare. I didn't have to look to know Jacob was giving his the same look.

"Back off, dude." It came out almost as a growl and Jake was shaking.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know you took Edward's place as her husband." Lucas scoffed.

"I didn't know you took Alice's place…" I laughed with Jacob and the teacher started his lecture. When the bell rang, Lucas followed us to lunch, though he sat with his friends. About half an hour later, he came over to our table and took a seat.

"So where are the other Cullens?" He had a knowing look I wanted to punch off.

"None ya," said Jacob, stuffing his face with a cheeseburger.

"Well, can you blame me for asking?"

"Go away, Lucas. You have no business here." He gaped at me, but left the table quickly.

At the end of lunch, Jacob had to use the bathroom. I waited outside the boy's room impatiently until he finished up. He was to escort me to every class. I got another text from Edward.

I hope everything is going well. I miss you.

I smiled, but didn't get a chance to respond. I was interrupted by a very obnoxious and annoying voice.

"I guess you're never really apart from his, huh?" I gasped, dropped my phone and turned to see Lucas standing very close to me.

"What do you want Lucas?" I narrowed my eyes at him.

"I know your secret…" I swallowed quite loudly, to my dismay, but stood my ground. He stepped closer to me until his face was millimeters from mine. "Why would you put yourself in danger like that?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Don't play stupid with me. You know exactly what I'm talking about." He smirked. "Living with a bunch of vampires is a little scary, don't you think?"

"You should know, right?" His eyes widened in surprise. "Yeah, I know all about your little posy. But I just have one suggestion for you," I smirked back sat him. "Stay away from me and my family. We are too powerful for you."

"Fiesty, I like it." Then he grabbed my head and kissed me passionately. I thrashed and tried to push him away from me. He was ripped away from me and thrown into the lockers. Jacob threw a punch into his face and gut before grabbing my hand.

"We need to get out of here." He pulled me into the parking lot and into my car. "Phone," he said, starting the car and holding his other hand out. I handed him the cell phone and he dialed a number. "Edward… Yeah, and it's not good… We need to converse again… I don't know what they'll do. They might be mad and come after us… Yeah, we'll pick her up, too. Bye."

"We're picking up Lizz?" He nodded and sped towards her school.

"We're going home. Taking extra precautions against this other coven." I nodded and ran into Lizzy's school. The principal called her out of class and I strapped her into my car.

"What's going on, Auntie B?" I looked at Jacob and he nodded.

"I think it's time we tell you something…"

LPOV

That Jacob was so going to pay for that. I didn't know his involvement with the Cullens, but I would find out. I picked myself off of the floor and pulled out my cell phone. Dialing Nancy's number, I spoke quickly.

"I'm ready," I said.

"Good. Get home as quick as you can." I hung up.

The Cullens wouldn't be able to mess with me anymore.

I got to my house and Nance was already waiting there for me. "Drew is out hunting. We're going to have to do this without him." I nodded.

I laid down on the metal table in the middle of the room. I already picked out clothes and laid them on my bed. She was supposed to change me when she was finished. I took a couple of deep breaths.

"Just relax, Lucas. I have a good feeling about this…" Her lips were very close to my ear. She moved down to my neck and kissed my neck. "You will be a great addition to this family, my son."

Then, we both took a deep breath before her teeth sunk into my skin.
