"Let me help you, Bells." Jake pushed, trying to help me into his car.

"Jake, I can do it myself." I told him through my teeth, shrugging his arm from mine.

We began our journey back to Forks, the first hour we endured in silence. As we turned out of Montana and onto the highway, I couldn't take the silence any longer, it was driving me crazy. "What happened when I left?" I asked, he glanced at me "I mean, how did Charlie react?"

He sighed, "He found your note, and completely freaked out. He called me and my dad round, he thought I'd know where you were and I got... 'interrogated', if you could call it that. He then thought you'd run away with the Cullens, but we had to keep reminding him they'd left. And like I've said, I had to convince him you wouldn't do anything stupid." He said, his eyes trailing down to my stomach. My hands lifted onto it.

"This isn't stupid Jake," I sighed.

"Bella you're eighteen."

"I know that... but this baby is all I have left of Edward, and I love it." I smiled lovingly.

"Do you know it's sex yet?"

I shook my head, "The machine wouldn't work, so it's a little mystery, but I like it better this way."

I saw him crack a smile. "All that matters is that you're happy, whether the kid's part bloodsucker or not."

I smiled again, "Would you be Godfather Jake?" I asked, he grinned and nodded.

"Of course I will Bells." He continued smiling, but reached into a bag and handed me some sunglasses, "I thought you'd need them, if you want to keep a low profile."

I put them on. "Thanks Jake." I patted his shoulder, but my hands shot straight to my stomach as I felt a sharp pain across my stomach. Jake saw and pulled up at the side of the road in a flash.

"Bella, what is it?" He asked.

I rubbed my stomach, "Ah..." I lifted my shirt. More bruises. I looked at Jake, he looked as if he was going to throw up. "Jake..."

"Bella, what the hell is that thing doing to you?"

"It's just a little strong, that's all."

"A little being an understatment." He said, I glared at him.

"Shut up Jake, it's nothing to worry about, this isn't the first time..." I pulled my shirt down.

He was about to say something, but he just continued driving. We finally arrived in Forks, I adjusted everything about me to make sure no one knew it was me. We stopped at a red light, I saw on the pole a missing person's poster with my picture on it. I looked down,

"They're everywhere." He said, driving onwards.

We reached La Push, I spied another few posters up on a lamp post. Jake helped me out of the car, although I hated it I didn't see the point in arguing. We got into his house and I sat on the couch, my back finally feeling relaxed for the first time.

"You hungry Bella?" Jake asked, already at the fridge.

"No, I'm good." I said, "Although some of my blood would be nice."

He rolled his eyes playfully, and got me some of the blood out from the cooler bag. He sat next to me clutching a bag of chips. "So, when's the big day?" He asked, patting my stomach.

I shugged, "I don't know. I don't know anything about vampire pregnancy so it could be days, weeks..." I sipped some of the blood.

"Well you can stay here, maybe have the baby here?" I looked at him in surprise "I don't think the hospital is prepared for a vampire birth." He chuckled, I laughed too.

"Are you sure Jake?"

"Yeah, of course I am." He smiled, putting his hand on my stomach again. "It would be slightly creepy but I'm sure Emily could help too, maybe Sam-"

"No," He looked at me, "I don't want them... or anyone to know about this." I insisted.

"But Bella, what are you going to do when the baby is born?"

I sighed, "Move away I guess, start over." His face fell, I put my hanads onto his warm ones, "You could come with me." I suggested.

"Maybe." He whispered. "Bella, there's one thing you haven't considered in all of this." He said.

"What?"

"It's a long shot but what about your life? I mean have you ever thought that this kid could kill you?"

"Why would you think that?" I asked.

"The kid's father is a murderous vampire Bells, think about it, what were vampires made to do?" He asked, I looked down and remembered what Edward had told me. 'I'm designed to kill.' I looked at him again. "See?"

"But... I..."

"The Cullens aren't here to change you Bella." He told me.

"I know that, but maybe the baby won't do that, I talked to it when I was in Montana."

"You talked to it?"

I nodded, "Yeah, I didn't really say much. I told it about you... and Edward, the Cullens, stuff like that."

"You told it about me?" He asked, a smile creeping onto his face.

"Yeah, I said you were my best friend, that you are amazing."
