30. REVELATION

Terry's POV

It's been about two weeks since Jacob and I got back from our honeymoon and he's just been acting weird. He says it's because now not only is he Alpha, but he has a job working with Paul at a garage.

I don't know why, but it doesn't make sense to me. I would understand if he was just tired all the time, but he… acts different. I can't explain it.

I tried talking to him about it and he just brushes me off, indirectly answering my questions and such.

I hate to admit it, but it feels like I'm losing him.

Things looked like they couldn't get any worse, and then Jacob came home one day.

Jacob walked closed the front door behind him and walked over to the couch in the living room. He collapsed onto the couch looking completely exhausted.

I looked over at him from the chair I was reading in and smiled. I was glad he was home, but he turned his head to me and gave me the most pathetic attempt at a smile I had ever seen.

I put my book down and sighed. "Jacob. Tell me what's wrong. Don't say it's work and patrol because that shouldn't make you miserable like this."

He groaned and got up from the couch, shaking his head as he walked into the kitchen looking for something to eat, no doubt. "How many times do I have to tell you? It's nothing, really."

"Then if it's nothing, why can't you tell me? Jacob, we're supposed to share everything and it feels like you're keeping something huge from me." I stared at him through the rectangular nook in the wall, making a window between the kitchen and living room.

Jacob tipped his head back inhaling deeply but not saying a word.

I had enough with the way he was acting. I stood up and walked towards the door. "You know what? I don't care. I'm leaving, I'll be back whenever I feel like it."

"Terry, wait. Please… I…" He walked into the living room. "I want to tell you, but I don't know how you're gonna react. I don't want you to take it the wrong way…"

I stayed where I was, my hand on the door knob. "You know you can tell me anything. I might get upset, but I'll just get more upset by you keeping it from me. How many times do we have to go through that?"

Two strong arms wrapped around my waist and he pressed his lips to my neck. "I know. You're right. Come sit down with me."

We walked to the couch and he sat down, holding his arms open for me to join him. I sat on the couch with him, leaning back against his chest. He wrapped his arms around me. "Alright, let's hear it. What's the big problem?"

"You have to promise that you're not gonna freak out when I tell you."

"I can't promise that." I laughed slightly, turning my head to look at him. "You can tell me, no matter what it is."

Jacob stared with his soulful brown eyes deep into mine. "So, remember when Sam and Emily had the baby?"

I nodded, remembering the night clearly.

"And remember when I told you Rachel got pregnant?"

I nodded once more, putting the pieces together in my head. He does want kids…

"Well the reason I kinda checked out when I found those things out was because… It made me realize what we can never do." He placed his hand on my cheek, kissing my lips softly. "We can't have kids."

"I know." I looked into his soft eyes. "And I'm sorry for that."

He shook his head slowly. "Don't be. I love you. And I belong to you. And nothing is ever going to change that."

"I love you too, Jake." I kissed him softly again, feeling better that he finally confirmed what I had been so suspicious of.

"When we got back… I was about to get in the car to drive to Paul's garage when Edward walked up to me." Jacob's emotion was indiscernible. "He looked me right in the eye and told me everything I was thinking about. My desire to be a father and how much of my mind that thought consumes."

"I'm sorry again. I can't do that for you, I can't offer you children…" I tried not to frown. The one thing Jacob wants, I can't give it to him.

"Shh." He put his finger on my lips. "Stop apologizing. My story gets worse."

Oh great…

"I'm sure you remember when Edward would just call me to "chat". Well, it wasn't just friendly conversations, he was worried because he couldn't figure out why Bella was acting so different."

"Did he ever find out?"

Jacob sighed. "Yeah. And he told it to me the day I was going to head to work. Apparently Bella wants a baby." He stared into my eyes.

"Oh. Well can Edward do that? Being a vampire and all?"

He shrugged. "I have no idea. Probably not, seeing as how he's dead and all. Besides, even if he could, he's too afraid he'd kill her having sex to even try."

I nodded. "Yeah, I remember you guys talking about that."

"So, Edward talked about how I want a kid and Bella wants a kid." Jacob's eyes were locked on mine.

"Oh." Then everything clicked. "Oh… He thinks you and Bella should…"

Jacob didn't move or even blink. I didn't even think he was breathing.

"I see… Well that is weird. Are you going to… do it?" As the words left my mouth I realized how it sounded and felt my stomach churning.

"What do you think? I love you with all of my heart and I don't need a baby in my life to complete me. You already do." He smiled and kissed me passionately.

I couldn't help but smile. My Jacob was back, he told me what was eating him and he looks so much better for it.

He spun me around on his lap so I was facing him and placed his hands on my hips as his lips hungrily kissed mine. "Terry… I love you…"

I placed my hands on his muscled chest, feeling his tight muscles beneath my fingers. "I lo-"

The front door swung open and Bella ran inside, startling me. "Terry, Jacob! I have good news!"

The excitement emanating from her was nauseating. I smiled and got off Jacob's lap, sitting on the couch next to him. "Alright, what's the news?"

I never thought I would hear these next words come out of Bella's mouth. If you could die just by hearing words, I would have.

"I'm pregnant."

TO BE CONCLUDED

-A/N-

So there you have it. I have enough plot, I hope, to make an entire extra 30 chapter story. If not, oops. -laughs-.

So, what do you guys think? Things are getting interesting right?

Let me know what you think, it's greatly appreciated.

I just hope things aren't too… bland and unorganized. I mean I can see why you'd say that about Daybreak, I really do. A lot happened in Daybreak, but none of it really connected at all. But there were things I needed to have done in order for this to work.

So all in all it is connected, I think. -laughs- But you just can't see it yet.

Anyway, thanks for reading and I hope to see you all in the final episode of this saga.
