"Thats a shit car, now a real classic is the 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray." Jacob declared outraged.
"No, you're defiantly wrong, if you're talking classics, nothing can beat the 1964 Ford Mustang."
"You're mad Lisa, everyone knows that the 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray would trympth the 1964 Ford Mustang anyday."
"I say the 1964 Ford Mustang is the best."
"Really, what makes you so right then? You a car expert or something?"
"No, but this proves me right eveytime." said Lisa turning the truck sharply, but managing to not flip the vehicle. Jacob held onto the side of the door for dear life. Almost breaking the handle until Lisa stopped the truck, grinning at the expression on Jacobs face.
"Lisa are you crazy? You could of killed us both with that stunt."
Lisa laughed, "This ain't the first rodeo I've been on cowboy. I've been my truck a long time and I could drive through a rainstorm blindfolded without even getting my hair wet."
"Well next time, a little less of the crazy stunts and a little more of the driving, no matter how experimced you are there's always that chance you'll mess up and kill us both."
Jacobs heart was still racing and electricity was in the air, so when Jacob's and Lisa's hands accidently touched, the tension that had been building for days finally broke, after days of becoming closer and closer, it seemed natural way to go. Lisa leant over and kissed Jacob, "It wasn't as world moving as kissing Edward" Jacob thought, "but it was nice."
When they arrived at Lisa's beach house by the sea, Jacob didn't refuse when she asked him to stay, having no one else who cared about him anymore or anywhere else to go and lisa made him feel happy again, he could never forget about before but he felt happier with Lisa.
Months had passed and Jacob still found him self there in Lisa's house by the sea. She made him feel loved, and made his worries go away when she whispered sweet nothings in his ear. She gave him peace and a home and thats all he really wanted. His life was peaceful for a while, he felt maybe he could be happy living here, the ache was less and the pull weaker. It was an easy existence, Jacob got a job at the local garage, and Lisa sold painting's of beautiful landscapes, it was the same routine for a while, Jacob going off to work, leaving Lisa painting in the studio, then coming home, having dinner over looking the ocean, then falling into bed, nights filled with passion. It was an easy simple life, till everything changed one afternoon.
"You're what?" excalimed Jacob shocked to his core.
"Pregant Jacob, I'm pregnant."
"How did this happen?"
"Well when a woman falls in love with a sweet kind, loving man? who buys her flowers, the woman eventually lets the man st-"
"No not that, I know how that happened," said Jacob blushing "I mean we used precautions."
"They're not 100% effective you know, sometimes they break and a few players get past the foward line."
"So, this means I'm going to be a father?" said Jacob with wonder after he got over the initial surprise.
"You're going to be a father, and I'm going to be a mother of a beautiful little baby."
"Your going to be a mommy," said Jacob picking up Lisa swinging her around then falling back onto the bed kissing her passionately as they took each others clothes off.
"Mom, Dad, please," said Lisa on the phone, "It's your only grandchild."
"Well screw you too Mom!" said Lisa slamming the phone.
"Lisa hon, what's wrong? Was that your parents?"
Lisa sank to the bed, head in her hands "Yeah, they said they're not coming to the baby shower, not even going to see our baby until we are wed, they've never approved of my choices and this is the icing on the cake."
"We could get married if that is what you want."
"No I don't want that Jacob, I told you I don't believe in marriage. I wont be in a relationship like my parents, tied together, bickering all the time, no way out, marriage turns you into someone you dont wanna be and I don't want that to happen to us."
"Okay Lisa, we don't need your parents there anyway, we'll be fine without them."
"Are you going to invite you parents though?"
"Yeah, I'll call my Dad."
Later that day after picking up the phone only to put it down again, Jacob decided to just do it and call his Dad, he hadn't spoken to him in almost a year and didn't know how he would react to the news.
"Hi Dad, yeah it's me."
"Yeah Dad, I'm fine, I'm happy."
"Look Dad, I'm sorry I shouldn't have left like that, it was just too much you know."
"Yeah, actually, I've found someone. Actually that's what I've called to tell you about, we're having a baby."
"Yeah it is great."
"Actually we're having a baby shower."
"Yeah, I would love it if you came."
"Okay see you there, love you."
Later that month
"Jacob, you okay?" Said Lisa, noticing Jacob looking upset.
"Lisa. My Dad died, he wont be making it to the baby shower, suspected heart attack."
"Oh sweetie come here." Lisa said taking Jacob in her arms and hugging him, though Jacob was taller and had to lead down a bit.
"What do you think Jacob? This colour? or this colour for the babies room?" she said holding up the paint samples.
"What ever colour you want babe." said Jacob looking over her shoulder feeling her swollen belly.
"Be serious Jacob, I need a decision, fuchsia yellow? or ocean blue?"
"Okay if I must choose ocean blue."
"Really, why?"
"Because its the ocean babe,and the oceans beautiful."
"Your right, fushsia yellow was ugly anyway."
"Now, c'mon help me pick out the high chair."
Jacob picked up the bags of baby clothes happily following behind. Smiling at how enthusiastic Lisa was, and how excited he was too.
"Push Miss Williams; one more push, thats it."
"Its a girl." Jacob told Lisa proudly "A beautiful baby girl."
"Let me hold her." said Lisa taking the baby and holding her close to her chest.
Jacob moved closer staring peering at her, she was stsring back at him with beautiful brown eyes that looked like Jacob's.
"Jacob she had your eyes." Lisa noticed.
"Yeah and she has your smile." said Jacob seeing the baby smile at him.
"You think so?" said Lisa looking at their baby.
"Yeah, her mommy's beautiful smile." said Jacob kissing her.
"What should we name her?" asked Jacob.
"Abigal," replied Lisa "after my grandmother, the women who supported me when I said I wanted to go to art school instead of becoming a lawyer, who looked after me when my parents kicked me out, and who loved me wholeheartedly up to her dying day."
"I think its a lovely name," replied Jacob kissing her again "and fitting, but I get to decide her middle name."
"Okay, what have you decided?"
"How about masen?"
"Lovely, though a bit unusual."
"So Abigal Masen Black." said the nurse, writing on the birth certificate.
"Yes," replied Lisa, "I dont want my parents name to have anything to do with our child if they wont even see her."
7 months later
"Lisa I'm home. Lisa, Lisa!" Jacob ran from room to room finally stopping at the nursery, Abigal was crying, and Lisa was laying on the ground, blood seeping out of a head wound, someone had broken in, to rob them leaving Lisa hurt whilst protecting their baby.
"Lisa, don't leave me lis." Jacob held Lisa, tears falling from his eyes onto Lisa "I need you to help me look after Abigal lis. I need you to help me smile when times are tough lis. I need you to tell me everything's going to be fine. But most important lis, I need you, because I love you."
"You'll fine without me." said Lisa, a hacking cough emitting from her lungs " I know you, you're stronger than you think."
"I won't Lisa, I need you, you cant leave me all alone here."
"I love you too Jacob, look after our daughter will you. Love her no matter what."
Lisa died one last shuddering breathe coming from her lungs.
Jacob sobbed cradling her, "I will lis, I will." Jacob was almost lost to despair cradling Lisa, blood still seeping out, but a cry from Abigal brought him out of it. Placing Lisa gently on the ground, he went to the crib and picked Abigal up, carelessly getting blood all over her white nighty, staining it as he brought her to him, cradling her, rocking her, singing an old Quiltene lullaby. All the while he was saying "It's okay Abigal, its going to be fine, we'll be okay, Mommy will be fine in heaven now, Mommy's with the angels."
Jacob knew from that moment on he had to be strong now, not for him, but for Abigal, he had to be stronger than ever before.
For a while Jacob tried living in st Petersburg with Abigal, but it seemed wrong, without Lisa there, nothing was tying him to the place anymore. So he quit his job, packed up his life and moved back to Forks taking Abigal with him.
