Chapter Six: Strangeness and Charm

Things were getting uncomfortable now. Laurent had stocked my fridge with blood, but had caught Victoria'a scent indicating she was near and had to leave and lead her away. So I was alone, pregnant and in pain.

I learnt that speaking to my baby calmed it down, stopped it from making such big movements and so on. Despite that, it was still agony. I tried going for an ultrasound days before Laurent left, but the midwife told me the machine wasn't working because she couldn't see anything and went to get another doctor to sort it out, but when she was out of the room I realized that the machine wasn't faulty, and the reason she couldn't see anything was the baby. So I left.

I was disappointed in not finding out the sex of my baby, but that gives it more of a surprise. In the meantime, the baby goes by the nickname "Little Nudger".

After drinking another cup of blood, my little nudger fluttered in my stomach, which always made me smile.

"You like that, don't you." I rubbed my stomach, looking at the photo of the Cullens. I felt a kick, it made me wince. "I wish you could meet your father, he was the most wonderful person in the world. And his family were... extraordinary, literally." I laughed. "But neither of them know you exist so..." I sighed, stroking my bump.

There was a sudden manic knocking at the door. Was Laurent back? "Bella!" My heart stopped. Jacob was here. "Bella are you in there? Open up, it's Jake!" He continued slamming his fists onto the door. I swear he was going to break it.

I stood up, my back screamed at me as I walked to the door, the nerves kicking in. I opened the door, and saw his face. He was smiling. "Bella!" He launched for a hug, but stopped, looking at my bump. "Wow... you weren't lying, that bloodsucker did knock you up."

"Jake, don't."

"Sorry, how've you been?" He asked.

"Good. Why are you here, how did you find me?"

"When you told me you where in Montana, I came here and asked around until someone said you were here." He told me.

"Oh, come in if you like?" I offered, he nodded and entered, his expression looked disgusted. "Jeez Bells, it reeks of bloodsucker, I thought you said the Cullens weren't here?"

"They're not, it was Laurent." He looked confused. "He was part of James's coven, the Nomads." I explained.

"James was the one who gave you that, right?" He jerked his chin towards the scar on my wrist. I nodded. "Well you're safe now, are you coming home?" He asked.

"No, I-I can't, Charlie cannot know about this." My hands lifted onto my stomach. "He'll kill me."

"Please Bella, I miss you." He begged, "Charlie doesn't need to know, and I doubt my Dad will say anything if you don't want him to." He said. "Please." He repeated.

I sighed, "I need time to think about this." I turned and walked into the kitchen. "Want anything?" I asked him, off subject.

"Uh... just a glass of water, thanks Bells." He said. I nodded and filled him up a glass, and I got a bottle of blood out. I handed him the water, but his eyes were diverted to the blood. "Is that what I think it is?"

I nodded, sipping the blood. He gipped. "Bella that's... sick. What is that kid doing to you?"

"It's not the baby, it's me. It's a pregnancy craving."

"No-one craves blood when they're pregnant, Bells. It's not human, this kid is-" He shook his head, his grip tightened on the glass.

"This kid is the most important thing in my life." I told him. "It's the closest thing I have to Edward." It was like taking a bullet saying his name.

"Well if you're happy, that's all that really matters." He said, before gulping down the whole glass.

He spied the couch and slumped down on it, making me notice his tattoo on his arm. "Jake, when did you get a tattoo? That isn't like you at all." I said.

"It's a Quileute tattoo." He said, I sat next to him, "I have to tell you something, Bella, I'm not suposed to say anything but... but I feel I have to be honest with you, you were with me." He cracked a smile, he placed his warm hand on my stomach. "I'm a werewolf."

"A wolf?" I asked, he nodded. "You're... not human?"

He shook his head, "Not really."

"Why can none of my friends be human?" I muttered jokingly. "It doesn't scare me, Jake. At least you haven't changed." I smiled, poking the tattoo. But soon after I felt a sharp pain in my side, making me wince. "Ow." I muttered.

"Bella?"

"No... it's nothing, just... the baby's getting too big." I put my hand on my bump.

"Bella... I... what, I-" He shook his head, "That bloodsucker left you carrying his child? Talk about love."

"Jake, he didn't know when he left, so he has no idea this baby exists."

"Bella why the hell didn't you tell him?" He asked angrily.

"I tried! I tried... and he left..." I started crying, but felt a small flutter in my stomach. My hands lowered, "Mommy's fine." I whispered, Jake muttered something unidentifiable.

"You're talking to it?" I nodded. He laughed, "You make me wonder, Bella." I chuckled lightly, "Please come home Bella." He asked once again.

I looked up at him, maybe I should, it can't be good to raise a baby alone and in a very small house in the middle of almost nowhere. "Okay." I breathed, I swear he'd already begun packing for me.

Bella's going back to Forks :O Review please?x
