It was now the middle of January, and I was now 36 weeks. Just four more weeks and we would have our precious Ren with us. The past few weeks had been blissfully quiet. Jacob had finally backed off; we haven't heard from him since I sent the creepy promise bracelet back. I thought me sending it back, finally proved that I wanted nothing to do with him.

We decided to have a romantic evening out; Edward took me to Seattle to a beautiful restaurant, and then we went dancing. It was a magical evening.

The rest of the family decided to go on an extended hunting trip. They figured this would be the last time they could safely go. They didn't want to miss the birth of the only child into the Cullen family, so they had headed to Canada to hunt for a few days since Alice didn't see anything happening.

Edward and I were in PA shopping and walking around. We found a little baby boutique and bought Ren some pretty little dresses; and we had just left the bookstore, when we were overcome by a horrible, but familiar stench.

"Bella! Wait up," Jacob called out, as he ran toward us.

I took Edward's hand and pulled him toward our car parked down the street. The last thing I wanted was a confrontation with him on this busy street, but he caught up with us.

"I am sorry that you had to send the bracelet back. Did the leech make you do it? Did you even know I sent it to you? That would be just like you to not even show her the bracelet," he growled out at Edward.

Edward growled low in his chest. It was too low for the humans around us to hear, but I did; and I know Jacob did. I had to get us away from him quickly, before something happened.

"Listen Jacob, I sent the bracelet back. Edward had nothing to do with it. I even drove us to the post office. I don't want a scene, so please just leave us alone. We are going back home anyway, so we won't run into you anymore," I said and turned away again to walk back to the car, expecting Edward to be beside me.

I got half way to the car before I realized Edward wasn't with me. I turned, and he was back saying something to Jacob.

"Bella is never going to leave me; when are you going to realize that, Jacob? We are married, and she is about to have my baby. Get it through your head; she doesn't love you. If you hadn't started acting like this, you probably could have maintained a friendship. But for some reason you have it in your head that she belongs with you. Get over it; she doesn't. She is mine. Go find a girl who will actually return your feelings and isn't married to someone else," Edward said in a low dangerous voice.

"She does belong with me, leech. If you hadn't returned, we would probably be together now. But no, you had to come back and ruin everything. I almost had her, and you ruined it!" Jacob screamed, attracting a crowd.

I couldn't believe what he was saying, though. I never loved him like he wanted me too, and I told him on numerous occasions. He just wouldn't listen.

"No, Jacob!" I said, walking up to him.

"It could never have been like that. I told you time and time again; I never returned your feelings for me. Sure I loved you, but as a friend. You never listened to me," I told him.

"Don't say that Bella; you don't mean it," Jacob said, reaching out his hand as if he was going to touch me.

"No!" I spat, slapping his hand away.

"See, there you go again, not listening," I said, my voice rising.

"Love, you need to calm down; this isn't good for the baby," Edward told me, pulling me away.

"Listen to me, Jacob Black! We never would have been a couple! I never felt that way about you! Now, leave my family alone!" I yelled out, as Edward continued to pull me toward the car.

Suddenly, I felt something wet gush out of me and a sharp pain in my abdomen.

"Oh no! Edward! My water broke. It is too soon; what are we going to do?" I cried out, as we reached the car.

"Well, first you calm down. She is 36 weeks and has a clear strong mind. Ren will be fine. Second, get in the car; we are going home. On the way we will call everyone to come back home. Hopefully, it won't take them long; and they won't miss the birth," he told me calmly.

Then, he kissed me firmly on the lips.

"Let's get home, my love; it is time to meet our little girl," he said.

His smile was so brilliant that I couldn't help but return it. Everything was going to be alright. Edward would take care of us.

Angry did not even begin to cover how I was feeling right now, as I helped Bella into the car. I was murderously raging inside me at Jacob Black. I was also scared shitless too, worrying about Bella; but I was doing all I could to show her that I could be calm. She needed that right now, more than anything else. I was also extremely happy and ready to meet my baby girl.

While speeding toward home, I dialed everyone in my family and told them Bella's water had just broken; and they were needed at home.

JBPOV

Holy crap, Bella was in labor! I wanted so badly to snatch her up and run away with her, but the leech had gotten to her first. I hated him; he had Bella brainwashed. I knew she loved me; she couldn't see it because of him. We were meant to be together; I knew I hadn't imprinted on her yet, but that didn't matter to me. She was still mine; I would make sure she came to me one way or another.

I ran to the woods and phased and ran to the Cullen mansion. I stayed far enough away that the leeches couldn't smell me. I would wait patiently on Bella to give birth, then I would cause a distraction; and while all of them were distracted, I would take the baby and run away. Bella would have to agree to come with me then.

EPOV

I arrived home and swiftly got Bella upstairs to the room Carlisle fixed up for her to give birth in.

"Try to take it easy, love; our family will be here soon, and our little girl will be born," I told her.

"Edward, our little girl is not gonna wait that long," she said, panting.

"Okay, love, we have everything we need; and I have two medical degrees, so I'm sure we're going to be just fine," I told her.

Soon, I had everything ready, and then Ren was coming and fast. I could see the crown of her head. I was getting ready to tell Bella to push, when I caught a hint of his thoughts; that stupid shit of a mutt had followed us home. Quickly, I went over to the security control panel and punched in a code, and immediately the steel shutters began closing over the windows and doors.

"Edward, what's that noise?" Bella asked.

"Relax, love; it's just a precautionary measure to make sure that you and our baby are safe," I told her.

I could not afford to be distracted right now, and there was no telling what that lunatic mutt would do. When the rest of the family got here, they would see the house on lock down and know to use the roof access.

CPOV

When Edward called and told me what happened, I told Esme and the rest of the family; luckily we were all in close range without encroaching on one another's kill. We broke from our hunt and began speeding toward home.

Once we were in range of the house, I caught the scent of wolf. I stopped and opened my senses. I wanted us to be discreet about entering the house.

"What is it, Carlisle?" Esme whispered.

"Wolf, Jacob is close to the house," I answered.

"We need to go up high into the treetops, so we don't alert him to our presence," Jasper said.

So we took to the treetops and made our way to the house. I could see Edward had already locked it down, so we'd have to use the roof entrance. One by one, we dropped through the opening into the attic and made our way downstairs.

JBPOV

I watched and waited. It was awhile; but the house finally lit up again, so I knew all the Cullens were in there and now for my distraction. I built a fire, knowing it would draw their attention; and then I waited. The steel shutters that had been lowered were raised back up. The big one came out first, followed by Edward.

"I know you're here, mutt; you might as well show yourself," Edward shouted.

I made sure to not think of what I had planned to do, knowing he could read my thoughts. The pixie one was blind when I was close by. Perfect! I made my way stealthily to the back door. Once there, I could see through the windows; the blonde one had the baby in her arms. She was on alert; I could tell by her body language. She put the baby up on her shoulder and was cradling it.

I looked; and as soon as I met the baby's eyes, I was lost. I knew nothing else, until I was tackled by two snarling vampires and pinned to the ground.

It happened so quickly that I didn't have time to phase.

"How dare you imprint on my baby! You make me sick!" Edward hissed in my ear.

He and the big leech had me pinned, so I couldn't phase. But I didn't want to phase, I wanted to get to my imprint.

"You will never get to her you vile creature. Do you honestly think Bella and I would allow a dog around our daughter?" he asked, while pushing my face in the dirt.

"Bella will let me around her. I have imprinted on her; you can't keep a wolf from his imprint. It has never happened," I snarled. I knew Bella would let me have her as much as I wanted. Claire's parents let Quil have her as much as he wanted. I immediately began thinking about taking the baby as much as I wanted; Bella wouldn't deny me.

"You make me sick!" Edward said.

"What is going on, Edward? What does he mean by imprint," the big leech asked.

"This pervert has imprinted on Renesmee, which is how they find their mates. From what I can tell, it usually doesn't happen on babies; but occasionally, it does. There is another wolf in the tribe that has imprinted on a two year old," Edward explained with disgust.

"There is nothing disgusting about his leech. I want to do nothing, but protect her. It is 'MY' job to protect her, while she is defenseless. Then, when she is older, we will have a relationship. I am willing to wait. We don't age, while we continue phasing," I explained. I caught a glimpse of the leeches, and they were looking at me incredulously.

"I don't know what the problem is? This fixes everything. This has to be why I was so drawn to Bella; but now that I have imprinted, I'm not anymore. All you have to do is let me see her whenever I want, and I won't bother you anymore," I said.

I then heard a car driving up the long driveway; soon, it stopped in front of the house. It was Charlie.

"What's going on here? Jacob, what are you doing here? You know you are supposed to stay away from my daughter," Charlie yelled.

Edward then explained everything that happened in Port Angeles up until now. Including the part where I had intended to kidnap the baby, so Bella would have to come to me. I didn't think he had heard my plan; obviously, I was wrong.

"You caused my daughter to go into labor four weeks early; then, you have the nerve to follow them with the intent to kidnap my granddaughter, so my daughter would come to you. Then, you claim that a 30 minute old infant is your mate?" Charlie yelled.

"That is just wrong; Jacob Black, you are under arrest," Charlie said, reading me the rest of my rights. Edward called the calm leech down and asked if he would ride in the car with Charlie to keep me calm, so I wouldn't phase in the car. As if I would do that. I got in the car willingly and turned around and watched as my reason for living got further away. I was desperate now. I just needed to talk to Bella; I knew she would help.
