Bella's P.O.V.
The next day was pretty crazy. Jacob came by in the morning to check up on me and to ask whether I was or wasn't losing the baby. When I told him that I was, he was thrilled. He told me that he'd talked with Sam and that everything was okay with the pack. Preparations were made to take the baby out from me the next day. I told everyone that I wanted to be alone for the rest of the day. Edward had carried me up stairs to his room and set me down gently on the bed he'd acquired for me a while ago. As he'd started to leave, I'd placed my hand on his arm, stopping him.
"Edward, you haven't spoken a word since I decided to go along with this. What's wrong?" I'd asked softly.
Edward didn't meet my eyes. "Nothing, Bella. I just want you to know that if you choose to be with Jacob after this, I will be okay. As long as you're happy, I'm happy."
I had nodded slowly. I was beginning to doubt if I really wanted to stay with Edward, and I didn't wanted to lie to him and assure him that I'd stay with him after all.
Now as I lay in bed, I thought hard. I began absentmindedly rubbing my stomach and froze immediately. Despite everything that Edward and Jacob had told me about my baby, I still felt extremely attached to him. I kept seeing that little boy in my dreams, the one with the big green eyes. I still loved him more than anything, but Edward and Jake'd said that the baby was going to be horrible and a bloodsucking demon… so why was I still so caught up with my baby?
I shook my head and pulled the covers over my head, turning over in the bed.
I was asleep before I knew it.
Jacob's P.O.V.
I was so happy that Bella was gonna get that thing out of her. I was sad at seeing her so depressed, but it was for her own good. I didn't regret lying to her, now that I thought about it. I went home and talked to my dad a bit. I'd return to the Cullen's tomorrow, the day that Bella was getting it out.
I had noticed that Edward had been quiet throughout my whole visit. I guess that he was a little depressed by the possibility that he could lose Bella to me. Now it seemed very possible. I loved her, and she loved me, even if she loved Edward more. I could give her what she wanted, though. It would be smart of her to accept my offer. I kept repeating that to myself.
"So, dude… are you worried about imprinting on a girl and forgetting Bella?" Quil asked, reaching for the popcorn bowl in my lap and stuffing a fistful of popcorn into his mouth. We were watching some random T.V. show in my house, sitting on the couch.
The question took me by surprise and I blinked over at him. "Well, that was random. No, I'm not. I'm not worried about that if she doesn't choose me. But if she does choose me, then I am. And if she does choose me, then I'll just move us to a place where there are no vamps so that I can begin to age again and don't have to go all werewolf on her. "The little dream seemed so much easier in my mind. But the worst case scenario was that she would choose Edward and he'd turn her into a vampire. Then I would be okay with imprinting. It would make me forget about her so that I would not be wistful for her anymore, and be able to live my life in peace.
Quil raised his eyebrows, "Why wouldn't she choose you? Who would ever choose a vampire over a werewolf? Only a crazy person!" He guffawed like a crazy person.
I knew that he was only saying that to make me feel better, and I appreciated it. "Right?" I agreed.
"Yep. So, anyway, did you speak to Billy yesterday?" Quil asked.
I nodded. "Yeah. I also spoke to him today, and he seemed pretty happy about the good news with Bella."
"That's awesome. You should check up on your old man more often, Jake."
"I will. I'm glad that he has Charlie to care for him, though," I said, smiling.
"Yep, me too. But your dad still seems sad without you. Just check up on him. Let him know that you're okay once in a while," Quil chewed noisily on popcorn as he spoke.
"Yeah, I might be around more often now, since I cleared things up with Sam yesterday," I reached over and popped a few popcorn pieces into my mouth.
"That's great! Does that mean that you guys are returning to the pack?"Quil asked hopefully.
I shrugged, "I don't know about Leah and Seth, but I'm not. Like I said, I'm not planning on being werewolf much longer. Even if Bella doesn't choose me, I'm still moving to a place with no vampires in it,"
Quil sighed, "Whatever makes you happy, man. Whatever makes you happy," he chuckled.
Edward's P.O.V.
I hunted today. I needed the blood in my system before I could help Carlisle extract the baby from Bella. There would be a lot of blood, and if I didn't hunt, it would be an unbearable ordeal for me.
It hurt to see Bella so sad today, but she'd wanted to be alone, so I'd left her in my room to rest. She needed it, for tomorrow would be a big day for her.
After I returned from hunting, I went upstairs to my room to find my Bella sound asleep, my very own angel. I stood at the threshold for a long time, staring at her. Thinking, this beautiful girl might not be mine any more.
Bella' P.O.V.
I hadn't done much that day but sleep, and the only time that I'd woken up was to eat. Then it was lights out for me, and I fell asleep with Edward beside me. I'd somehow ended up in his stone arms, and that was where I slept for the night. I knew that this night might be the last we had together, and I wasn't planning on wasting it away from him.
I woke up the next day, still in Edward's arms. My mood instantly turned into a dreary one.
Today was the day.
* That was the end of chapter 4! In the next chapter she will get the baby out and you'll know who she chooses. Please review! This is my first story and I'm curious to know what you guys think! Thanks :) *
