Bella's pov
"Ok ... we agree" Carlisle said without hesitation. I saw Esme's face lit up at that moment and I wasn't surprise to see Alice squeal as well. "Bella! you are going to have a baby and I'm going to be an aunty. I'm so happy for you" Alice said it in the same breathe while hugging me.
I kinda expected that from Alice,after all she is my sister or would be in the future. Letting that aside, i focused on Jacob. I realised there was a smile on Jacob's face but his face is still hardend. Behind him, the whole pack was quite quiet. Ok now, that's weird, I have never seem them this quiet something happen while i was away just now?
They all were quiet and serious, that is untill Esme asked "So boys, since it's already late would you like to have dinner here?" Wrong question, to my surprise, they were schocked. The boys response to the invation was checking out each other. It's like they don't care or Are they tried to act like they don't care. hmm.. now that is something you won't see everyday, the pack refusing to eat. I think it's going to rain candy if the pack refuses her offer.
"What's for dinner? O negative or AB positive?" Embry said breaking the whole you could hear the whole pack was i thinking? They seriously don't know any manners do they? "Shut up Embry!" I heard Sam scolding Embry but Esme replied with a calm tone and a sweet smile on her heart-shape face. "oh no dear, we are vegetarian as we only drink animal blood"i was mentally facep palming myself. "I'm so sorry for their bad manners" Sam apologizes to Esme. "Oh no it's ok, not many people know about our eating habit. So I wouldn't blame them for thinking like that about us." she replied Sam
"No. no. what they actually meant was, they don't want you to go through all the trouble to cook for us... right guys? Sam said while biting his teeth at the last part. The pack just nodded in reply when they got the scary stare that Sam always gives them when they get out of hand, which is most of the time. "No ...no...Don't be silly. It actually gives me the chance to use my kitchen. But I wouldn't force any you, if you don't like it."She tried to hide her dissapointment "Sorry, but we should be leaving now, mam."
"Ugh! Finally !" Rosalie muttered her frustration. "you know what Blondie, I'm getting sick of you." Paul snapped at Rosalie. "Who cares what you think of me? Stupid mutt!" "What did you just say?" Paul snapped at her and went for it. If it had not been for Quill who held back Paul or Embry who thought making a bad blonde joke would totaly change the atmoshpere which indeed did, the heated up argument would've been a disaster.
"You know, I got to someone who doesn't even recognise her air freshener, you got alot of nerve to pick a fight with us, even if we are on your land."he stressed the last part. "What?"
"Oh bro! you mean. She was the one on the five o'clock news yesterday?"Jared just had to join in the crew. " Yup, that's blonde who had totaled her red BMW M3 in a horrific accident." " What was that Mongrel ?" Rosalie didn't back away either. Embry took a step closer to her without any slight hint of fear and said in a low tone " Just admit it, golden retriever." "admit what? that you guys are scared to take on a vampire alone and that's why you always travel in pack" " you were driving alone yesterday when from out of nowhere a tree pops out in even so you are leech you got suprised and swerved right and left untill your car now looks like an accordian that was stomped on by an elephant."Embry counter attack her. "I thought there no trees in that highway."Jared always the impatient "it doesn''s just blondie here was dumb enough to not realise it was just her air freshener swinging back and forth the whole time" the whole pack laughed and not to mention Emmet as well.
"But hey guys, we can't actually blame her for being a was born that way" "oh..oh.. you're killing me here!" Emmet said in short of breath due to laughing for a long time. "Oh that does it!" Rosalie was about to lung and rip Embry apart but thank god Emmet and Jasper held her back. "Enough!" Sam's voice erupted the whole mansion. "Embry, you shouldn't have done. We came here in peace for 't try to ruin all of you, get out and stay out there untill i come" without no argument they all obeyed him. "And as for you, know your limits. Don't ever mess with us again. And by the way, we travel in pack not because we fear but because we value our family and we look after each other."Sam left as soon as he was done . Why do I have a feeling that he wasn't implying that to Rosalie only?
I was still in daze by what Sam had said.", we got to leave now, I'm sure Charlie would be waiting to listen to your long explaination." Jake called me while holding out his hand for me to accept it. "Er..Sure." I was about to accept it but an arm snaked around my waist and pulled me behind, that arm happens to belong to Edward. "Edward what are you..?" "I will take her home" "no ... she is coming with me. Back off" Jacob not again. Why do both of them keep fighting every time all three of us are at the same place? " calm down." I turned to face Jacob and said "Jake, I'm coming with you." Then turned to face Edward to comfort him. "Edward, you just promised you won't make this a big deal?" "I'm sorry love, I just got carried away" he said while kissing my forehead. I heard a low growl from Jacob. I guess i have to tone down my relationship with Edward for now. "Good night Edward" "good night love".
As soon as we were out of the Cullen's mansion, Jacob phased and he brought me home as fast as he could. I should say it was a great experience riding on a werewolf back,and way different than riding on a vampire's back.
[Back at Bella's house]
I saw Charlie standing at the front door; well that surely states that I have got a lot of explanation to do. "Bells" I heard Jacob call me after he phased back. "Yes."i replied him but my concertration is fully on Charlie who was looking very pissed off right now. "Bells... thank you." I was about to ask him because he caught me off guard with that comment "thanks for.." he cut me before I could finish asking " We better hurry, before Charlie gets mad" "he is already mad, I just don't know what to say to him" I said frustrately while kicking a stone on the ground, totally forgetting his previous comment. "Don't worry about that, I got you covered. Just follow my lead" Jake said while leaded me to Charlie.
"Isabella Marie Swan! You stay right where you are? The same goes for you Jacob" he shouted. Follow your lead Jacob? Really? "Where have you two been all day long?" "Well... sir you asked me and talk to bella so I brought her over to the bonfire. Sorry it got a bit late" Charlie's face loosens up a bit when he heard Jake. "Oh ... ok. But what about before going to the bonfire where have you been Bella? Don't try to lie; I know you were with that Edward kid." "Dad, can we talk tomorrow" "No! Not at all, I said we will finish it today and today it is. Now get in the house and Jake thanks for bringing her home safely you may go now." he said to us. I obeyed him and went in the house. I turned back to see Jacob before I went in but he was no where to be found.
"Take a sit bella" Charlie pointed at the sofa. "Dad ...i can..." "Bella, listen to me first. I know you are a grown up now, and I would really like to treat you as a grown up but if you keep acting this way I'm afraid I can't treat you like that. And as much as I hate to say this I have to. I'm sending you back to Jacksonville." "no!You can't do that! Dad, I don't deserve this. You can't force me!" "As your father I have all the rights. Now go to bed, tomorrow morning you are leaving and that's final" he said sternly while looking at me "Fine, if you want me to go away so much then I will!" I stormed out of the living room and went to my room. I slammed the door shut and jumped on my bed. "This is so not fair! I can't believe this is happening to me?" I said it out loud. "Bella?" I flinched when I heard someone whispered my name, I turned to find myself a shirtless Jacob in my room, staring at me.
"Jacob ...not now..." I said turning my back at him. "Bells. I'm sorry. I didn't think it will come this far. It's ok if you don't want to keep the baby. I won't force you. I will support your decision no matter what it is. I have your back Bells." "Oh Jake... it's not about the baby. It's Charlie." "What about him?" Jake asked while taking a seat next to me. "Well, he thinks I'm acting like a kid and so he wants to punish me by sending me back to Jacksonville" I said in anger. "What? Bells don't worry; I will try to figure out way to calm down Charlie. For now, you better go to sleep. You need all the rest you can get, I will come over around noon."
He got up and started heading towards the window but stopped when he heard me say "Noon? Charlie is sending me back tomorrow morning Jake!" he was silent for awhile then he turned to face me and asked "Bells, how you told Charlie about the baby?" "Of course no Jake, what do you expect me to say? Hey dad, wanna know something I just found out I'm pregnant with my best friend's child." I said sarcastically what was he expecting; I would like to hide this matter for as long as I can. I saw his smile turn upside down. oh god I feel so bad. I hurted him a lot lately. "Jake... I'm...sor" "its ok bells, I understand." He trying to change that smile back into what it was before but he failed.
"No Jake, I didn't mean it that way. It's just that, a lot had happen in these few days and I just can't cope up with things." "Yeah... a lot had happened, didn't it?" he said while cupping my face in his hand, only now I realize that his face was so near to me. "Yes" I said in reply. "We're a pretty messed-up pair, aren't we? Neither one of us can hold our shape together right?" "Not really Jake," I said while looking him in the eye, there's something I feel... something warm... I can feel it in his gaze.
I continued not being aware of anything else but him "I can't say that for all i know is that, you will always be there when I need you, and that makes me stronger. I'm sure we could get through this together." I said as my face was just a few inches from Jake's. I know in a few seconds something might happen, I better stop it before I do something that might regret again. I turned my back to him, not wanting to have Jake's lips on mine.
"I'm sorry.. I did it again. Didn't i?" I heard Jake asking me about the whole intimacy part of our relationship. "'s ok. The only thing in my mind now is Charlie. Jake, I don't want to leave... I don't want to leave you, Edward or any of them..." my voiced croaked, I know I'm going break down in few minutes.
I just can't handle all these in a few days time, I just came back from Italy after meeting a bunch of vampires and then I had a big argument with Edward about my mortality and I just found out that I'm pregnant. To top it all off, my dad wants to send me back to Jacksonville. I am sure I am going to cry in a few minutes but I can't do it in front of Jacob, I have to try my best to hold back my tears.
But then I felt a pair of very strong arms around my waist Jake whispered "... don't cry...i'm here. I'm sure we can go through this together." He was hugging me from behind as my back is pressing against his chest, oh how I missed this warm body. My personal space heater. "Jake... promise me you won't leave me" I asked to him.I want him to promise me. i wanted his reassurance of never living my side.I need him. I can't go through this all alone. I need my best friend by my side for this... i waited for his reply but he was silent.
"Jake..." I called out for him when he took a long time to reply be honest i was scared, what if we weren't on the same page. "Jake please don't leave me, I don't think I can go through 15 months without you. Don't make me go through the same thing he did" at that very moment, I felt Jake's face against mine. His cheeks were against mine, I could feel his breath. It was long and deep. Then the husky voice said "Bella, I promise you. I won't leave... I won't leave you alone. I promise you." He said while kissing my cheek which made me blush.
He chuckled and spaced a bit from me which now Jake and I are facing each other face to face. "Oh, how i missed your blush" he said and continued smiling again. I try to change the subject. "How could you be smiling, Jake? How am I supposed to stop Charlie from sending me back tomorrow?" I started getting worried again . "Don't worry bells, I got all figured out. You just need to do exactly what I say." Jake said and with that he told me his plan and I have to agree it was good, hopefully it works.
"Bells, it's getting late get some sleep. I will try my best to come as soon as possible tomorrow ok? Just do as I say and I'm sure you will be fine." He reassured me and then left through my window. I was drifted to sleep while kept eyes at the window, somehow wishing he would comeback anytime soon.
