-A/N-

Hey guys. Sorry I've been gone for so long. But I hope I'm back and ready to crank out some more chapters. I know I said before that this was gonna be the last of the Morning Light Saga… But I think I have enough of an idea to make it last for another story as well.

We'll see. But for now, here's a new chapter! :D

28. DESIRES

Jacob's POV

There are a few things in my life that I always wanted. And I got most of them. Some greater force in the universe has given me almost everything I have ever wanted.

First off, someone to love and be loved by. I don't know how I got so lucky to have met and imprinted on Terry. He made me smile just by looking at me. The way he accepted me and everything I am so quickly… Even when I first told him everything about me, he never doubted anything I said. He just believed me and accepted it.

In the time that I've known Terry, I have never been happier or felt more complete. He is the reason I wake up in the morning and the reason I wear this ring on my finger. He is my life and my love and I would do anything for him.

I have also been blessed with a great family. I'm not talking about my dad or my sisters, while they are all fantastic, I mean my pack. Those guys always have always had my back and they always will. They crack jokes and poke fun just like any other guys would but when it comes down to it, I have never seen a more dedicated group of people in my life.

It's something else to be that close to people. You really know what it's like to have brothers. I look at them and it makes me proud to be a wolf and their Alpha male.

I've even got great friends, aside from my pack. Seth, even though he's in the pack, is like the little brother I ever had. I love that kid. He's loyal and determined and all around an amazing kid. If you ever need anything, Seth is the one to help you and he never asks for anything in return. He's always just happy with hanging out with me, which is all I could ever really as of him.

Edward. Surprisingly enough, I became best friends with my mortal enemy. He was my enemy in two categories. He's a vampire, what the werewolves are made to destroy, and he was my rival in winning Bella's heart. Even through all of that, he never failed to help me when I needed him. He asked me to be his best man, and was right beside me through the hard times when Terry had left.

All in all I have everything I ever wanted. Love, family, friends. What more could a guy ask for?

Children.

I know I'm too young to want kids, but I've always had the utmost respect for my dad and I want to be a great father just like he is. It hurts to know that I can't do that.

I love Terry with all my heart, but still a part of me wishes I could have kids. Technically I can, but it can't be with Terry.

If there was one thing I disliked about imprinting on Terry, it's that we can't have kids together.

It seemed the more I accepted that fact, the more it was thrown into my face. Sam having a kid. Rachel getting pregnant. All within the same year. All since I accepted I could never be a father.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, I had a strange discussion with Edward.

I walked out of Terry and my house, after kissing him goodbye, I was on my way to my first day of work with Paul. I found it weird that he was my boss given that I'm his Alpha.

Just as I was about to open my car door, Edward appeared out of now where, leaning against the hood. "Oh hey, Edward. What's up?" I turned to look at him, he had a strange expression on his face.

"Hello, Jacob. How are you and Terry doing?" He seemed disinterested in his own questions, not like he didn't already know the answers.

It didn't take me long to pick up on the fact that something was bothering him. "We're good, Edward. How are you?"

He inhaled deeply, despite the fact he didn't need oxygen. Tipping his head up to look at the cloudy sky, he sighed heavily. "I found out what's bothering Bella."

"Well that's good news, isn't it? Now you can fix whatever the problem is and move on, right?" I leaned up against the car door.

"I… I can't do anything about it." Edward's facial expression remained unchanged.

I frowned slightly. "Well what's the problem? Is there anything I can do? I mean I owe you both so much…"

Just then, Edward's eyes held a certain sparkle I hadn't seen before. His sullen expression became lively as he turned to me, a slight smile on his face. "Maybe… maybe there is something you can do."

"Ok, what's the problem?" I took a step backwards, Edward's sudden attitude change was a little bizarre.

"Yes… That just might work. No, it can't. They wouldn't agree to that. Why am I even thinking of suggesting it?" He started pacing back and forth on the driveway, rubbing his chin lost in deep thought.

"Edward, what are you talking about?"

He completely ignored me, going about his rambling. "It would solve her problem. She would be able to get what she wants… Something I can't do for her…" He turned and looked at me suddenly, still muttering to himself. "It would also solve his random fleeting thoughts he's been having lately. But what about Terry… I couldn't ask him to do that to him…"

I was beginning to get annoyed. I stepped in towards Edward, grabbing his shoulders and turned him to face me, my body towering over his smaller frame. "Edward. What are you talking about?"

He looked up at me, a crooked smile crossing his lips. "Bella wants to have a baby."
