As I was about to head inside I saw Jasper take off after Alice. I should have known that he would have sensed her tension. I guess that was

one less person I needed to fill in. I was planning on telling Carlisle first, he would be able to keep a rational mind set about things and probably

do a better job explaining things to everyone else. I would tell Emmett last, for now having him get Yara settled in and keeping her out of the

drama was probably the best way to go about things. Luckily everyone was fairly close to home today. Everyone wanted to stick close by so we

could celebrate Yara's arrival. Instead of celebrating what was supposed to be the beginning of my new life, it would be quite the opposite. Upon

my arrival, I get to bear bad news. I couldn't help but to think how my special day was ruined yet again by Nessie. I hated having these thoughts

about my niece, I hated feeling this way about the girl I so lovingly watched grow up right in front of my eyes. But things have changed, what used

to be this bundle of joy for me has turned into the cause of all of my pain as of late. I couldn't help to feel sorry for myself, yet again.

That was until I was hit with a sudden pang of guilt. Jake.... I needed to tell Jake. He needed to know. I know Alice had told me not to let any of

the pack know, but how could I leave him in the dark? After everything he had done for me? After he had been there for me? I couldn't do it. I

knew there was a call I needed to make before I went to Carlisle. I knew that by telling him, I was risking our secret being exposed. But it didn't

matter right now. I owed him that much. I started to run North, I needed to get far enough away so no one would hear me or find out yet. I dialed

the phone and waited.....

"Rose Petal!? Is everything ok? I didn't think I would be hearing from you so soon. Well, actually I didn't really think I would be hearing from you at

all once you got back and all settled in to your new life." he said half enthusiastically, half masking his pain.

"Jake, I am going to tell you something. And I am going to need you to hear me out completely before you react, okay? I need you to promise me

that?" I said sternly

"What's going on, tell me now!" he demanded

"I need you to promise me this first Jake" I countered.

" I am not promising a damn thing. What is going on Rose, are you ok? What has happened!?"

I sighed and decided to give in. There really was no use in trying to argue with him. Something I still remember very well from our days before the truce.

"Ok. Now I want you to know that I am not supposed to be telling you this. No one is supposed to know right now except our family. If I tell you

and you make a snap decision and react in the way I think you might, well then it can really mess things up. Alice saw something and before I fill

you in I want you to understand that any snap decision you make to try to help is going to end up making things worse. The second you do, what

little she knows will disappear and it may make us too late. Do you understand this much?" I asked almost pleading with him.

"Baby, you are freaking me out so bad right now. I promise you I will wait to hear everything to decide to do anything. I will try to stay calm, you

know I would never hurt you. You just gotta tell me what is going on. I am dying here" he said with so much concern in his voice it hurt to hear.

I started to fill him in on the visions. He kept his word and remained silent while I explained everything. I know it was hard for him and I could tell

he was ready to take action, it was part of who he was.

"So, tell me. What is the plan then? Since I am not supposed to react, or try to stop my wife from taking away my child, from disappearing

completely. Tell me there is a plan please." he said trying to remain calm, but I could hear the tension in his voice.

"We don't know what the letter says yet. We don't know why she left or what she is doing there yet. What I do know is that our best bet of

getting her to come to her senses and come back home is not going to be by having you chase after her. If anyone is going to be able to get her

back it is going to be her Mother. I know it is probably going to be the hardest thing you have ever done to just sit back and do nothing but Jake

this time, it is what you are going to have to do. You are going to have to trust me on this. You going after her, or getting the pack involved is just

going to make things worse. Not only will you be putting her in danger but you will be risking our whole family. We cannot afford to fight the

Volturri and are not prepared for a battle. That is certainly what would happen if you tried to do anything about this yourself. I think you know that

too. What you can do is wait, as hard as it is going to be you are going to have to wait until we find out what that letter says and wait until it is

time for you to do your part. Please Jake, her safety, our safety, your childs safety all relies on you." I was almost begging him.

"Ok. But I need you now more than ever. I am going to loose it. If I keep this promise to you, if I trust you and do as you say and just sit here and

do nothing. I am going to need you to fill me in on everything every single step of the way. I also want you to know, If I start to feel like nothing is

being done or she is in danger at all I am going to do whatever I can to save her and the baby. " he said to me shaken up.

"Of course Jake. I am here for you, no matter what. Jake, I know this isn't the right time but it needs to be said. I love you and I will be here for

you no matter what." I said not sure if how he would take it.

" I love you too, it is because I do that I am putting so much trust in you right now. I am coming home though. I need to be nearby, even if I can't

do anything. I need to know that if you need me or I need you I am close. I will go to the cabins we went to before. I will be there as soon as I

can. Please Rose, don't keep me in the dark about anything." he said desperately

" I promise, I won't. I will see you soon." I said, not sure if this was such a good idea but knowing he had made up his mind I couldn't stop him.

"I love you." he whispered.

"I love you too." I said back, feeling so many different emotions all at once.

It was time for me to head back and face the family now. I needed to fill them in asap, I just hoped that the time that I had been gone hadn't

changed things too much.
