JPOV (Jacob):

Great they are mad at me. What did I do? I sauntered up to the pack in my shape shifting form. At least I didn't have to technically talk to them. It's as if our minds were on a permanent radio wavelength. I nodded my beastly head to Sam, Quil, and Paul. They nodded back. Their eyes saying so much.

Sam: Did you have to do that to her? I thought I told you to control your temper Jake.

I didn't do anything that she didn't want. Why am I getting problems from you about Bella? You all say she's a leech lover, but I love her and she loves me too. She just doesn't know it yet.

Quil: You are going to bring too much trouble if you don't get a handle on yourself man.

Paul: Well, who cares about that girl? Nice body though.

I growled menacingly at him. I kept forgetting how we are all linked. Whatever is in my mind, they know. How she feels when I am making her moan. The look of her face when I make her orgasm. Her exquisitely built body. Everything I see, they see.

Sam whimpered and shook his head from side to side. The images were too much for him. I ducked my head in apology.

Sam: Stay away from her! That's an order.

My shoulders slumped. Easier said than done…

BPOV:

I ran into my room and threw myself on the bed and cried so hard. I was delirious. I never should have went to that house. I never should have. I couldn't stop thinking that no matter how much I pleaded with Jacob to stop he wouldn't. No matter how much I begged him to let me go, my body was telling him different.

I felt a cool pair of hands against my back and I shoved my face deeper into the pillow. My face flamed red. I hadn't counted on him to be here right now. Then again, I should have known. He came to sleep with me ever since he found out I was expecting. He said he wanted no harm to come to me.

"Bella..you smell like that dog." Why was he always calling Jacob that? "What did he do to hurt you so?"

I wanted to lie but he was looking at me so honestly, so protectively that I couldn't. If we were to be together then we couldn't hide things. But I was worried he would see me differently now. As if me sleeping with Jacob wasn't bad enough, but …whatever it was that happened..was even worse.

I pushed up on the bed and hugged a pillow. Edward sat next to me and I unintentionally cringed. He missed nothing. His eyes studied me and he let out a hiss. He knew something was up with me. I was glad that he was unable to read my mind because he would be out to the rez in no time.

I swallowed slowly and spoke.

"I went to see Jacob..to tell him about the baby." I heard Edward sigh.

"As much as I hate to admit this, you were in the right. He should know too."

"He knows that you are a vampire…I didn't tell him I swear!"

"That's fine. They all know about us on the reservation. Well most of them."

"And he was happy to hear about the baby. He said there was a strong possibility that it is his. That you couldn't get me pregnant.." My voice became shaky.

"I've thought about that as well." The admonition was reluctant.

"I don't know any other way to say this…" I stared at the bed sheets.

"He kissed you."

My head jerked up. "How did you know?"

"I just do." He didn't look too mad, but more disgruntled.

"Oh! I just remembered. The baby moved. I felt it." I tried to change the subject.

"It's too early for that."

"But I know what I felt. It was the baby, I swear it." I watched him think about that hard and he shook his head in disbelief.

"You are trying to distract me. What are you hiding?"

My lip started the usual quiver when I was upset. "Just promise me that you won't go there."

"No." He was blunt.

"Then I won't tell you."

"Bella.." He was warning me, but I wouldn't be moved.

"Promise me you won't go there. Or kill him." He looked at me as if I were asking too much.

We sat there in silence for nearly ten minutes before he took a swift intake of breath and let it out.

"Fine."

"I kissed him back. I don't really know why I did it," I rushed on "but I know I was wrong and I tried to stop him!"

"What are you exactly telling me, Bella?" His voice was crisp.

"I think he.." I broke off unsure.

"You think he what?" His patience was being strained. His teeth were clenched as he spoke.

"I.."

"Just tell me." His fist gripped the sheets.

"I told him to stop and he didn't." My throat threatened to close up on me.

"To stop?"

"Having sex.." He was across the room in a flash with his back to me. "I'm not going to lie and say that I didn't like some parts of it but I told him to stop. I told him no. That has to count for something right? I said no but my body wouldn't listen to me. I really wanted him to stop. I didn't.. I didn't want to hurt you again."

"Did he..force himself on you or did he not?"

"I'm not sure.." His face looked demonic when he turned to chastise me.

"How are you not sure? You either wanted it or you didn't. You either said no or you didn't."

I couldn't breathe. "It's not as black and white as that, Edward. You of all people should know that." Tears threatened to spill over again.

His tone lifted slightly. "I want to kill him no matter what."

"If you do, kill me first." I avoided his eyes.

"Oh, Bella. I would never do that to you!"

He sat on the bed and hugged me to him. I sobbed in his arms for hours. He would know if he ever read Jacob's mind. I did try to stop him, I did! I wasn't sure why I was trying to convince myself. I was there. I knew what happened and I hated it. I was always a clumsy girl, finding a way into messes. I didn't know that I would fall into this bottomless pit. I was cursed.

EPOV:

I held her tightly against me until she was deep into sleep. She was more restless than usual and moved suddenly every once in a while. My heart lurched in my chest. Bella wasn't the kind of girl to lie about something like this. Not many women did. She had to be telling the truth.

Even if she was willing to make love to him, it was true that no is absolutely no. She had told me no that day in the closet but I knew she would let me.. Wasn't that the same as this? I coerced her into it. She ended up enjoying herself, but this seemed so different. She was shaky and tearful now. Afraid for me to touch her if she didn't know.

Bella was even conflicted about tonight. I couldn't blame her. I had influenced her feelings for Jacob by my idiotic actions. I went about everything all wrong and now she was hurting. I was praying like mad that this child is mine. If there is a God and my soul isn't damned then he would put it in my favor. If not for me, I ask of him, for Bella.

I believe that she might care for Jacob more than she let on but I know her heart belongs to me. She wants her soul to rest with me. Again, I thought of changing her soon to keep her away from him. He would never touch my Bella again. She could kill him herself or I could kill him. Yet, stupidly, I promised I wouldn't. I couldn't even go see him at the reservation to find out the truth.

The truth..the truth was what Bella said. She needed me to believe her. I wanted to. I had to. I could tell that she had used all of her strength to tell me what happened. Thankfully, she left out the details. I couldn't handle them at this moment in time. I would have broken every promise I ever made to Bella to kill that mutt.

I had to protect her. I didn't have to kill him to do that. There would be a meeting. If the wolves didn't keep him away from her, I would take them all down. I would call every vampire that I knew and wipe them off the map, but Jacob was mine. I was irrational and a bit psychotic when it came to saving Bella. She would be my wife some day and if this was our child, I had to save it to.

Times like these were when I needed to sleep. To calm myself. But I had lots of planning and plotting to do. By now, Alice knew exactly where I was heading. I would not change my mind. It was final. Just then I caught sight of hickeys along Bella's neck. The venom inside me boiled dangerously. At dawn, I would see her safely to school and then I would hunt some werewolves.
