Part 2: Jake's P.O.V
Chapter 14
Once again the prodigal son had returned. I knew my dad would be happy to see me again, but would probably lecture me from neglecting my responsibilities. "Hey dad," I said with a heavy voice, as I walked through the front door. "Hey Jakie boy, what brings you by this time?" I couldn't believe how much he has changed in two months. He was looking kind of frail. "I left Nessie for good." I replied as I stalked off to my room. Exhausted from the long run, nothing sounded better than a good night's sleep.
Like always my dreams were filled with my once beautiful angel. We were in the clearing, gazing up at the night sky, our hands clasped tightly together. Glancing over, I saw her peacefully, a smile tugging at her lips as she dreamed. "Come on beautiful, time to go home." I said scooping her into my arms. Wanting to remember every inch of her ever-changing body, I slowly looked her over. Her stomach was round and protruding from her still slender frame. Immediately my heart swelled with joy as I realized that my life couldn't get much better. I had my world cradled in my arms and she was about to give me the greatest gift, a child. As the small cottage came into view, the scene abruptly changes. We are in the living room,our family all gathered room, and she is holding our bundle of joy. Gently taking him from her, I remove the portion of blanket covering his face. Looking down at my son, I see Joham's face staring at me, scaring me awake.
I jolt awake, only to hear my dad. "Jacob William Black, get up now." He screams as he bangs loudly on the door. "I'm up. I"m up!" I scream as I roll out of bed. Swwinging open the door, I glance down at my dad, who looks extremely piss and concern. "We need to talk now." He says sternly as he turns and rolls away. I follow him down the hall to the living and take a seat on the couch, and wait for the lecture to begin. "Last night did you say that you left Nessie?" "Yeah." "Why?" "It's a long, complicated story." I said rolling my eyes, as I shift to get up. "Sit down. I"ve got nothing but time, so start talking." "Fine," I said in a huff as I began to explain. "I left her because, I'm tired of living a life of constant perils." "What do you mean by that? You're a giant leech fighting wolf, it is what you're design for." "Let's see. First Bells, tries to kill because I imprinted on her infant daughter. Then there was the Volturi who wanted to kill Nessie, because she was different. There was no way I was going to let that happen, even if that meant me giving my life. The next problem came when she began to mature, and so did my feelings and thoughts. Edward wanted nothing more than to rip me to shreds, but he couldn't hurt Nessie and Bells."
"So far it doesn't sound so bad. What could be so bad that you would deny yourself your soul mate?" He ask his face still expressionless. I sat silently for a moment, staring at him. He still looks frail. "I'm waiting." "Because of Joham and the hell he put us through." There I said it. Now it is out in the open, but judging by dad's face, and explanation was needed. "After I left here the last time, I rushed straight to the cullens and told them about the Calvin Burgess at Jamestown High. How he was really Joham in disguise. That night began the longest and hardest two months of my life. After the meeting about Joham, Nessie slipped off to bed, and it wasn't long before I did the same thing. On the way to my room, I stop to tell Ness good night. Peeking into her room, she told me we needed to talk. Of course I couldn't say no. So I came in, and sat down beside her. She told me that she wasn't ready for a relationship, which confused me because downstairs she clung to me. Something seemed off, but I couldn't place it, until the wind blow. Nessie never slept with the window open. Jumping to my feet, I cut on the light and discovered that she was gone. For a month I searched for her, barely eating or sleeping. Until she was home, I knew I couldn't remotely focus on any other aspect of my life. The search led me all the way to Canada, where my poor body gave out. When I finally came to, Nessie was cradling my head in her lap. We were so happy to see other that one thing led to another."
I pause as I felt my cheeks began to burn. I just stare at him trying to convey that small bit of information with my eyes. "Oh ok. Spare me the details." "Well anyways. Afterwards Nessie, wanted me to return home, but I couldn't. It had took me a month to find her and I just couldn't lose her again. I had to be near her; I had to protect her. She was about to tell me why she wanted me to leave, when three leeches attacked us. I was no match for them and they kidnapped me. It was part of Joham's plan. My captors chained me in a dark, dank room, where they barely fed me. They made sure I was alive, barely, but what kept me fighting was her. I had to escape and save her, but I was to weak.
Locked inside the room, only seeing the light every couple of days, I began to go crazy. I was carrying on conversation with myself, and hallucinating her angelic face every moment. Finally one day I got visitors besides my captors. It was the Cullens. Somehow Joham, had weakened them until the point that they couldn't fight. It wasn't long after their arrival that Nessie was with us too, but there was a catch. Joham had issued her an ultimatum. In order for the Cullens and I to survive, she had to marry him and carry his evil spawn. Not wanting any harm to come to us, she agreed. Being the a ruthless monster, Joham, still order his son to kill us." My dad was mortified. I could tell he really didn't want to hear much more. But there was still something he had to know. "Luckily for us, Nahuel isn't like his father or we wouldn't be here. Out of the kindess of his heart, he took us to Tanya's clan to heal. Even after we healed he continued to offer his services. The night before last was Nessie and Joham's wedding night and he helped us bust in and rescue her. He even helped destroy his father. Nahuel was definitely a hero. After we sat the house on fire we went home. Thinking that all the craziness and surprises were behind me, I finally got a peaceful with her wrapped in my arms. When morning came, I got the biggest surprise of all. She told me she was pregnant. At first I couldn' t believe at she actually slept with Joham, so I did what I did best. I ran. Edward, wanting to straighten out the misunderstanding, chased me down. He explained that she never touched him and only went through with the wedding to try and protect our child." Just then his mouth fell open as a look of disgust crossed his face. Without saying a word, he just rolled away.

Weeks have pass and my dad still hasn't even mumbled a word in my direction. Plus he looks even more frail. "Dad, are you sick?" I ask for the millionth time. Still no answer. He just rolls out the door, ignoring me. "You can't keep acting like I don't exist! I'm your son!" I shout, but he keeps rolling towards Rachael and Paul's place. Aggravated with him and my decision, I rush to my room and press play on the cd player. Slowly the sounds of Killswitch Engage filled my room, and it wasn't long before I succumb to sleep.
I don't know how long I was sleep, before I was startled awake. Quickly turning on the light, I roll out of bed, and go investigate the noise. Lying in the floor at the foot of my bed is Nessie. Just the sight of her sent my heart soaring. "Hi," she said sheepishly. I can't believe it. I want nothing more than to hold her, but I have worked so hard to close that chapter of my life. Ripping my own heart from my chest, I finally tell her my true intentions. I know she says she doesn't blame me, but I still felt guilt consume me. She left crying making me feel an inch tall. Maybe there was no way of shutting her out. Something told me i have just made the biggest mistake of my life. Sitting on the bed, staring out the window, I debate whether or no to chase her. Just as I make my decision, the phone rings. Who knew a telephone call could change my life forever?
Please let me know what you think.
