Bella's pov
After 8 months continues from chapter: new begining….
"Jake.." I called him softly. "Coming .. You sure are eating alot these days" he muttered. "Much than I do." He continued while bringing me the pineapple ice cream that I requested him. Lately for the past few weeks, I have been cravings for sweet things and according to Sue's theory the baby might be a girl based on my Jake insits that we are having a son. "here" Jake passed me the tray. "thanks." I said, smiling broadly. He just shooked his head and sat down beside me. I felt his hand snaked around my waist and pulled me closer to him. Jake's relationship with me has grown closer since that day. I started recalling what happened that day.
[flashback continues from chapter new beginning ..]
"Wanna go to the beach?" Jake asked, I just nodded in reply. I could feel a wide grin across my face as we walked towards the car while holding hands. Along the drive to the beach, Jake seemed to be in his own world. " Jake, could we stop by at the shop? I got some things to buy" I said while looking outside at the woods, enjoying the view along La Push. I waited for his reply but nothing was heard. I glanced at him, he was like a statue. Staring straight at the road, as if nothing else exist. So unlike Jacob.
"Jake.." I called him. no reply. "Jake" I called him agin but this time shaking his arm. "huh.. what?" he snapped out. "Jake. Is something bothering you?" he's never acted like this before so it's kinda strange. "No!I mean no. what makes you say that?" he snapped at me. "Well for your information, you were day dreaming while driving that's why" "Sorry bells" he said. I saw his gaze dropped when I said that. " I'm sorry bells…" he started while pressing the palm of my hand in his hands. "I just can't believe all these happened in a very short time" "I know, but we are going to go through this together right?" I asked him, I need him untill this is over after that it will be normal. I can be back with Edward and Jacob can his own life. Everything will be just as it was. He turned his gaze at me and smiled. " Of course bells". I leaned my head on his shoulder and moved closer to him. I don't know why but whenever I'm with him now days something something inside me feels warm.
The rest of drive was quiet but it seems so right. Soon we arrived at the beach, we sat at our usual spot. We had a short talk, I was siting on Jake's lap with his arms wrapped around me. " the view is great right ?" Jake aske breaking the silence first, starting a conversation that is. "hmm.. yeah, we should come here more often" I suggested while looking at him. "If you say so." he shimmed while smiling away. " Bells.." "yeah..?" I said while looking up at him. " what happened this morning?" he asked. morning? about charlie? "Nothing..I was just talking with charlie. Why do you ask?" I was curious now. " No, I meant something else, other than the usual?" he asked again, stressing his I was lost. Other than the usual? I'm a danger magnet, so most of it is usual.
"What do you mean?" I asked him again "why were you screaming, when I arrived?"He just has to ruin the mood. "Oh.. It was nothing " "Bells." he said in a sharper tone. "What?" I snapped at him. " Tell me the truth. Don't I deserve to know?" he asked while staring at me. He is making this hard. "Fine. you wanna just a stupid dream. happy?" "A dream? what was it about?" he asked. " Its just something stupid. Now can we talk about something else?" I said trying to change the topic.
"Is it about us?"he remained fascinated. " Well yes and no" does that word even exist? "What is it?"he asked yet again. "Nothing" I replied sternly. " So, what you are trying to say is, something about us is stupid? It's nothing?" he said while raising his voice bit by bit. "Jake I didn't mean it..tha..wa.." I was cut short. "No Bells.. that's what you were trying to say wasn't it? How about this? Does this mean nothing to you also?" he asked while laying his hand on my stomach.
I felt my cheeks getting warm, how dare he say that? " NO! of course not! How dare you? You know this baby is my life now. It's a part of me and you as well." Poked him in the chest and continued "so don't you say something like that to me, ever again. Understand ?" I shouted at him, by now I was standing facing him. He toweredme when he stood there with his mouth open in a O shape. Wow guess he didn't expect that? But still i'm bothered by his acusation.
"Since you are so eager to know, it is about us. You, me and Edward" he growled when I mentioned Edward's name but I ignored him and continued " You were holding a lifeless baby, you were blaming me for its death. Edward got angry and fought with you." I said almost crying thinking about the images of my dead baby. I closed my face with hands, I don't want him to see me crying. That's when I felt a pair of arms wrapping me holding me close, my face hit something hard and warm.
"I'm sorry bells" he whispered. "I was about loose you" I said while crying against his chest. "shhs.. bells.. its OK. See I'm alright. I won't let any of it happen to us. Not as long as I'm alive." He said while caressing my hair. "Promise?" I said while look up at childish as i might sound but wanted that bit of assurance. "I promise you with my life bells." He said looking at me straight in the eyes. I just smiled in reply, I was about to say something but was stopped when I saw that.
The famous 'Jacob grin', it was actually the first thing that got me attracted to him. I remembered it very well, he had the same grin on his face back that day, the first time we met. It was when Charlie introduce me to Jacob after a long time. I am so glad to see him smiling again. I haven't seen him do that in a while, I kinda missed it. This time, he kept that grin longer than usual on his face, it some how gave me the feeling as if he knows something that I didn't. I felt his warm slender finger's caressing my cheek, he lifted my chin making me look at him. Our nose were almost touching. Chills run down my spine when I felt the warmth of his breath brushing the top of my lips. I was so captured in his brown eyes; the very same one that the infant had.. soft yet strong. But in jacob's eye it held something special. Something out of the ordinary, was it lust? Could it be love?
I frozed, when I felt warm tingly feeling against my lips, I opened my eyes and looked and him. his lips against mine. I didn't realize he leaned into me, I felt his fingers around my cheek slightly pushing me towards him. I gave in and pressed my lips against his deeper. Our lips parted, i looked at him. He was having a broad smile on his face, like he accomplished something. I was flushed, what have I done? Why is my heart pounding this fast? I was carried in the trail of thoughts until I felt his lips against me again. It wasn't like any of the kisses I had before, it was soft, warm, comforting. I felt a string pulling me closer to him, it was as if we were one.
For a minute I tried to pull away from him, to separate myself from the pull. I knew it wasn't my imagination that my need for him was stronger than ever. I saw him, my Jacob. No longer my childhood friend, he's my best friend who is the father of my unborn child. The love I held for him, was not the same as I held for Edward but.. Now I felt like Jacob is my everything. I felt tiny lines connect me and Jacob together, it was something strong, not love, not lust, not care but something even stronger. I felt his tongue against mine, it was colliding. I closed my eyes and lived the moment, it was perfect. Both of us kissing with the sunset ray hitting us gently, nothing felt weird just pure feelings.
It all stopped when he pulled back and stared at me, this time his gaze was on my stomach. He stared at it long. his hand reached towards it, his fingers outstretched trying to touch it but he stopped when he saw me staring at him. He stared at my face and then turned to the other side gazing at the sunset, I saw disappointment across his face. I held out my hand to grabbed his and placed his hand against my stomach with my hand on top of his. I felt warm both inside and outside of me, I felt butterflies flying in stomach. I didn't notice it untill now that Jake's presence and his actions affects the baby. When ever he's around, my body becomes warm and I felt safe; like nothing else matters except us.
I felt his gaze on me, so I looked at him; he smiled at me while rubbing his hands against my stomach. He mouthed "thank you" I rested my head on his shoulder in reply while playing his finger's which were against my stomach. I felt a light kiss on my forehead, which made me look upon him. he still had the same smile, this time I leaned towards him. It was all so perfect except the part because of my eagerness made both of our noses hit.
I was embarrassed to even look at him, it was suppose to be a perfect kiss but my clumsiness just has to ruined it. I sighed still looking down until I heard Jacob laugh. So bad!how can he laugh at me? " hey…" he said. I looked at him, still silent. "Wanna try it again?" he said while pulling my hips closer to him. He closed the gap between us, I was still kinda embarrasses from just now. can I do it? I was wondering to myself until I felt his nose against me. I heard him whisper "I'm waiting.." that actually motivated me to bold up, I tip toed and pushed myself against him. I succeed this time, I was still embrassed and scared that he might laugh but it was actually more than okay. Soft, slow and full of emotion. He moved his lips from my mouth to my cheeks and kissed it.
[end of flashback]
I leaned against his shoulder while still eating my ice cream " Jake" "yeah bells." he said while nodding his head " I love you" I said with a long inhale. He smiled while looking at me and said "I love you too, honey."we stayed like that for awhile, just watching tv and cuddling. It was all we did for the past few weeks, it some how brought us closer. after finish eating the ice cream, I went to the kitchen to the dishes. That when I saw it. "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" I screamed on top my lungs, "Bella!" I heard Jacob said while rushing to me. " What ? what happened? Are you OK?" he said in a concerned tone. " I just pointed at the wall. He followed my gaze at the wall. " What is it?" he asked me. Is he blind?
"Jake ! Can't you see we are late" I shouted at him. " Late? For what?" is he joking. "Jake! Don't play around go and get dressed we need hurry or we will be late?" I rushed him while pushing his back from behind. " Bells. Calm why are we late? Should we be somewhere?" "Jacob black! I never thought you would be so irresponsible. We should be at the Cullens in 20 minutes. You forgot?" I shouted at him while getting up the stairs to get dressed. "But.. Bells" I cut him short. "No get your butt up here and get dressed."
We were ready in 10 minutes, and was on our way to the Cullens. I was so excited like a five-year old on Christmas morning. "Bells, do we have to?" Jake was still whining from just now. I know he doesn't like being there but he was the one suggest that he should be with me when I want to visit there. "Well bright one, you should have thought of the consequences before you suggested it the other day" I said while folded my arms across my stomach. Jake gave a look and then said "Well.. I didn't know it will be this bad" he muttered under his breathe.
"Oh Jake, don't be such a baby, its not that bad." " Yeah..Not bad. I was about the break the treaty the last time we visited them." " well who ask you to be so over protective?" I said rolling my eyes " Well, sorry for taking care of you and the baby." Jake snapped. I just sighed in reply. " I swear bells if he tries to put his arms around you today, I'm going to kill him. Treaty or no treaty" " Jake calm down, you were having fun there, on our last visit you were practically goofing around with Emmet you did say so yourself that Esme's cooking was good" he turned at me at an instant "Well, Emmet was OK and yeah the food was , Hell No! I was not enjoying myself except the part getting the blonde mad. Bells do you seriously think that a werewolf would like to be in a house full of leeches" I slapped him in the hand and said "hey" "Oh,ok sorry seriously what's the differences between a vampire and a leech?" "Well vampires is a much polite term" I said. "sure..sure" he shrugged.
[at the cullens]
Before we could even get into the house, Alice came running outside and hugged me. "Bella..Bella you don't know how much I missed you" Alice said while hugging me tight. "Alice.. too tight" I said trying to breathe. "Oh sorry, I guess I was just too excited seeing you since its been awhile" Alice like always. "OK..ladies enough with the whole chit chat, Bells lets get going" Jake said interrupting us. "Jacob.. nice to see you again" Alice said trying to nice to him. " Sure..sure"he waved while headed towards Emmet "don't mind him" I said to him. "I'll try" Alice said with a sneaky smile.
I went into kitchen but no one was so I went to the dining to find them but I found something else. The long dining table was actually piled with was as if it was a feast. A feast for a king to be correct but if the the pack was here then it would be a normal dinner for bunch of teenage boys. My thoughts were interrupted when I heard Jacob growl. oh god! what happened now? i rushed to the living room and found Rosalie a few few metres away from both Jacob and Emmet. "ergh.." i heard Jacob growl again. Oh god. Not again. Jake don't phase here. "Calm down man.. calm down" Emmet said while patting Jake's shoulder. If this goes on Jacob would definately break the treaty. I rushed to Jake's side and placed my hand on the side of his cheeks and said " Jake.. calm down" he was still glaring at Rosalie.
"Hun.. listen to me please." i pleaded him. did i just say that? that was totally pure random. Jake turned and faced me in an instant with a bright smile across his face. I felt my blood rushed to my cheeks, i must be blushing hard now. I turned away from Jacob's view and stared at the floor. I was so embarrassed. I heard Jake let a long inhale and then said "Hey Rosalie, do you know how to drown blond?" did i just hear that right? Rosalie? well this is the first time i heard him call Rosalie by her name. it was usually bloodsucker or Blondie. big improvement. "Stupid mutt" Rosalie said while marching into the kitchen. " i dont" Emmet chimed while trying to hold back his laughter. " Just simple, just Glue a mirror to the bottom of a pool." Making sure his voice was enough for Rosalie to hear.
I heard laughter coming from both Jake and Emmet. what the hell are they thinking? Are they trying to get murdered by Rosalie? Boys, no matter how old they are, they don't change do they? Boys will be boys was what i thinking as I made my way to the kitchen again but ... I stopped when I felt a gust of wind passed by me. A few minutes later, " I missed you" I heard someone whisper into my ear.
