Thank you, thank you, thank you loves for the reviews! Hope this chapter answers some of your questions.


I don't own Twilight or the characters.

Jacob's strong arms were wrapped gently around my stomach. A small smile spread across my lips as I thought about how Jacob and I had grown. I remembered when I couldn't stand him, when I wanted to punch him in the face. I remembered how every little thing about him annoyed the hell out of me. Those moments were not so long a go and that was the crazy part. How did I fall for Jacob? How did I fall for him so quickly? Was it normal for me to love him so much when I had been hurt so badly by Sam?

"Baby stop worrying so much," Jacob whispered in my ear. I sighed as his breath trickled over my ear.

" How do you know I'm worrying," I asked closing my eyes and inhaling Jacob's scent. How could someone smell so good?

" I don't know. I guess I just know you," Jacob replied poking my stomach. " The twins must be sleeping now. I think they have their times mixed up."

"Yea they do. They were kicking the hell out of me last night."

"I bet the girl kicks harder," Jacob said.

" Why do you say that?"

"Because her mother kicks hard. Remember you used to always kick me in the balls," Jacob said laughing. I turned around and pressed my face into his chest. My stomach would not allow us to get any closer.

" I didn't always kick you. Okay, maybe I did, but you deserved every one of those kicks," I murmured into his chest.

"We should get up, it's twelve," Jacob said pulling his arms from my body.

"Nooooo," I whined and covered my head with my pillow.

"Okay, more hot chocolate for me then."

I hopped out of the bed and walked past Jacob and towards the kitchen.

"I knew that would get your ass up," Jacob said walking towards the cabinets. He took two huge mugs out and set the on the table.

" Do we still have chocolate syrup," I asked patting my stomach.

"Surprisingly yes. You went through a whole bottle last week," Jacob said getting the chocolate syrup out the fridge.

"Yes!" I raised my arms in triumph and bounced in my seat.

"Someone is in a good mood," Jacob replied with a dazzling smile.

"Chocolate syrup always puts me in a good mood," I said.

"Oh, so I don't make you happy?"

I scrunched my eyebrows together. " Come on Jake."

"No I'm being serious. Do I make you happy," Jacob asked again.

" Duh Jake. You should know you make me happy. If you didn't, I would have bailed a long time a go."

"Would it make you happier if I let Dakota come here sometimes," Jacob asked pouring the chocolate powder in the two mugs.

"Of course it would make me happy, but it's not like I'm unhappy right now," I said running my hand up Jacob's arm.

He smiled smugly and walked back over to the counter.

"What's wrong with you," I asked walking to the counter. Jacob filled the measuring cup with water and stuck it in the microwave.

"Nothing," Jacob replied. His voice was not like it was earlier, it was not heavy with happiness. Instead, it was short and nothing near sweet. His jaw was clenching together and his eyes turned dark.

"Jake," I placed a hand on his shoulder and attempted to turn him towards me.

"Leah just drop it, I'm fine." He glanced up at me and quickly looked away once he caught my eyes.

" Either you're bipolar or something is bothering you. Which is it?"

"I'm bipolar," Jacob said retrieving the measuring cup when the microwave beeped.

" J-"

"I'm fine," Jacob kissed my cheek and walked back to the kitchen table. He was hiding something and I knew I had to dig it out of him. When something was bothering him, it was hard getting to the bottom of it.

"You're weird," I joked as he poured the hot water in the cups. " Can't you just tell me what's bothering you. You were just fine minutes a go and now you're all…all…bothered."

"Nope." Jacob shot me a forced grin and handed me my syrup.

"Fine. I don't want to know anyway," I said rolling my eyes. " I hate when you do this shit. Why not just tell me?"

"You do the same thing so what's the difference?"

I shrugged my shoulders.

"That's enough syrup Lee," Jacob said snatching the bottle from me.

"Give me the damn bottle Jake." I held my hand out.

"No that's enough. You're gonna get sick if you put all that syrup in there," Jacob replied.

"You're not my father. Give me my syrup or I will kick the shit out of you," I threatened with a growl.

" Oh well kick the shit out of me. I'm not giving this syrup back." Jacob sipped his hot chocolate. " I'm not your father, but I am the father of the children you're carrying. I'm not going to let you harm them or yourself."

"Yea chocolate is gonna kill me," I said sarcastically.

"It could make you sick. I can't have you throwing up all over the place. I'm just watching out for you," Jacob put his hand on top of mine. Great, he was in overprotective mode again. Just nod your head and grin, he won't notice your irritation. "You should go see your mom today. You haven't been over to see her since she moved in with Charlie."

"Probably because I don't want to be around Charlie or his house."

" I think you should go see her. I'm sure she misses you. Has she said anything about the kitchen yet," Jacob asked.

" Yea, she just got the money together. It should be done in a couple of weeks. I bet Seth can't wait, I'm sure he is not enjoying his time with Emily," I replied.

"Well he has Sam there to give him time away from her. I know she is not the best person to be around at this moment. Everyone is kind of giving her the cold shoulder right now."

"Sam went to Seattle to see his dad. He's trying to break the imprint. I forgot to tell you yesterday, sorry," I said.

"It's fine. I will let you off the hook since you're pregnant." Jacob smiled.

"I'm sure you still would have let me off because you love me so much," I leaned in towards Jacob and stuck my tongue out.

" Shut up."

"You know it's true though. You can't deny it," I replied sipping my drink.

"Whatever Leah," Jacob shook his head. I could still tell that there was something bothering him. If only I knew what it was.

Jacob literally forced me to go visit my mother. It's not that I didn't want to see her, I just didn't like Charlie that much. He reminded me too much of Bella and of course I didn't like her.

"You like how I redecorated the living room," my mother asked sitting next to me on the couch.

"Well I don't know what it looked like before, so I couldn't answer that question," I replied with a light laugh. Seth was sitting on the sofa opposite us, glaring at Jacob.

"How is it living with Emily," I asked breaking his glare.

" She is always crying and stuff, it's annoying. Sam left early this morning and went to Seattle. He said he's trying to break the imprint and that really got Emily going. I'm going to ask Old Quil if I can stay with them from now on. I can't be in the Uley household anymore or I will go bananas," Seth explained. He sighed loudly after his explanation of the tragedy in the Uley home. He looked back at Jacob who returned a nasty glare.

"Okay this is getting on my nerves. Mom tell them to make up," I said pulling my legs up on the couch. I crossed them Indian style and propped my elbows on my knees.

"We aren't a couple, we don't need to make up," Jacob said.

" You two are pack brothers and this is ridiculous. I know that you two are upset with each other, but Leah has forgiven both of you. So why can't you forgive each other," my mother asked looking between Seth and Jacob.

They both looked down at their hands and mumbled under their breath.

" Sorry but I don't understand that mumbling language. Look at me. Look at me!" Their heads shot up when my mother yelled. " What the hell is the problem?"

"He hurt Leah," Seth pointed a finger at Jacob. I laughed at his childish gesture.

" You started the whole fight," Jacob exclaimed.

"I don't care who did what. Leah is fine and so are the twins. She has forgiven both of you, but you two are still acting like asses. Drop this issue and I don't want to see another glare, hear any smart remarks or hear anymore yelling. Do you hear me?" Jacob and Seth looked back down at their hands. "Look at me! Shake hands and make up."

"But mom-"

" But nothing Seth. This crap is so immature and stupid. Shake hands and make up," my mother said. I covered my smile and looked back and forth between Seth and Jacob.

" I'm sorry dude. Really I am. I just didn't like how you hurt my sister and how she let you back in so easily. I should've talked to you about it instead of being immature about everything," Seth said.

" I'm sorry I hurt your sister. You know I would never intentionally hurt her. And it was not easy getting back in with her either," Jacob smiled. How could guys make up so easily but us girls continued to hold a grudge against each other?

" I guess she can be a tough one. Alright, we cool?"

" Cool," Jacob held out he is hand and Seth shook it.

"See how easy that was. Just talk out your problems instead of bickering all the damn time. This pack gives me a headache sometimes," my mother said holding her head.

" Oh Leah I forgot to tell you about this girl I met. She is really cool and pretty. I have to bring her to the Rez one day and show her around," Seth explained with excitement.

"What's her name," I asked.

" Gloria McGee. I met her in Port Angeles like two weeks a go. I haven't talked to her this week though, she has been searching for her sister."

"Wait, what was her last name again," I asked.

"McGee. Why?"

"The girl the Cullens saved had that same last name. I bet that is her sister," Jacob said.

"Oh no, I didn't think of that for some reason. Ugh, I don't like knowing what really happened to her sister. This is just plain weird," Seth smacked his forehead. "What do I do now?"

"Just go on like you know nothing. I mean what would you tell her. 'Oh your sister is in Italy with a whole bunch of vampires'?"

" Did you imprint on her," Jacob asked Seth.

" No sadly I didn't."

"You want to imprint," I asked in disgust. I couldn't imagine my little brother being stuck with someone his whole life because of imprinting.

"I wouldn't have minded imprinting on her. She is really nice Leah."

"That doesn't mean you two are meant for each other," I said.

"Well I can't wait to meet her Seth," my mother said with a smile. She was always excited about meeting new girlfriends or boyfriends.

"Now it's going to be all weird with her. While she's searching for her sister, I know where she is."

"Just try to act normal around her. Don't scare her off," I replied.

"I guess so. Ugh, this sucks," Seth buried his head in his hands.

"Hang in there kid," Jacob said. Jacob's cell phone rang from his pocket. " Yes, Edward…uh-huh…that's freaking crazy….what the hell are they doing with her….yea…I'll tell them….thanks, bye."

"What happened now," I asked knowing something was up.

"They found out why we didn't know the Volturi was here. Alice didn't even see them coming in her visions. Edward said they have a new member that can block their presence. They can be seen but no one can smell them coming and Alice can't see them in her visions. They took Francine because she has a special power. Edward said the Volturi doesn't force people to join them, but they had to have this girl. They asked her if she wanted to stay once they got to Italy, she said yes. She can see the future and manipulate it. It's all crazy sounding to me," Jacob explained.

"What the hell? So you mean to tell me we aren't going to know when the Volturi decides to bring their asses here? This is some bull," I threw my hands up in irritation.

"It's not good at all. Hopefully they don't have any other reasons to come here. The Cullens need to keep their teeth to themselves so those bastards don't come back," Jacob replied.

" Those Cullens know how to get things going," my mother added.

"They are a complete mess. So are they going to try to get the girl back? Why didn't the Volturi start up something? I thought they didn't allow immortal children," I asked.

" Edward said something about her not really being considered a child. She is thirteen and her mind is mature enough to understand what the Volturi teaches her. So I guess she isn't considered a child," Jacob said.

I felt two hard kicks inside my stomach. " Ow!"

Jacob's hands immediately flew to my stomach.

" Are they kicking in there," my mother asked with a smile.

"They are kicking the hell out of me."

"Lay off of the caffeine a little bit. I remember you used to do that when I ate too much chocolate. Ha, paybacks a bitch huh," my mother clapped her hands.

I rolled my eyes and smiled. Seth came over to the couch and placed his hands on my stomach. A smile crept across his face, he seemed proud.

"My niece and nephew," Seth whispered.

So there you go! I will get further into the whole Volturi thing next chapter. I know it may seem a little confusing right now. What is bugging Jacob? Will Sam be able to break the imprint? How will Seth handle this whole thing with Gloria? So many questions that I know I will be answering soon. Thanks for reading!
