Chapter 11

BPOV

"Werewolves?" I asked, looking back at the house.

"Yes. His name is….Black. Jacob Black," Edward said, staring at nothing. I gasped.

I knew Jacob Black. His father Billy Black is Charlie's best friend. On the summers Edward was visiting his grandparents, I would come up here and visit Charlie. I met Jacob and Billy 6 summers ago. Jacob and I became good friends and always hung out. He is like a brother to me. I told him everything about Edward and I when I would visit. I haven't talked to him in 2 years.

"Jacob Black?" I asked.

"Yes, I'm getting you two out of here," Edward said, starting the car.

"No, wait!" I said, grabbing his hand. He stopped and looked at me like I was crazy.

"I know him. He won't hurt us," I said.

"No, Bella. He is a young werewolf and he's dangerous. I'm sorry I can't take that risk. Not when I just got you back," Edward said.

"No, Edward! You don't understand! Jacob won't hurt me! While you were gone to your grandparents, I came up here to visit Charlie and I met him. He's like my brother. I haven't talked to him in 2 years," I said.

"Bella….I can't. I just can't. I love you and Sophie too much to risk it," Edward said.

"Edward, please. Trust me. I would never put Sophie in harms way. If I knew Jacob was dangerous, I wouldn't even get out of the car. But he's not dangerous. I promise," I said, pleading with him to see my side.

Edward stared at me a little while longer, then sighed and looked out the windshield.

"Fine. But I'm not leaving. I'll wait in your room. But if I detect even the smallest hint of danger, I'm getting you and Sophie out of there," Edward said. I smiled at him.

"Thank you," I said, kissing his cheek.

I got out and unbuckled Sophie. I turned to wave at Edward and walked inside.

"Dad? I'm home," I said, setting down my bag.

"In the living room, Bells," Charlie said.

I walked in and saw 2 men and a werewolf sitting around the TV.

"Bella!" Jacob said, jumping up and coming to hug me.

"Jacob!" I said, hugging him with 1 arm.

"And who's this little cutie?" Jacob asked, looking down at Sophie.

"This is Sophie," I said, adjusting her on my hip.

"Hello, little Sophie. I'm your uncle Jake," Jacob said, cooing at her. I guess Charlie told Billy and Jacob about Sophie.

"Wow, Jake. You've gotten tall. You know, anabolic steroids are really bad for you," I said, when he stood back up. He laughed.

"I'm just filling out, Bella. You know-" he cut off suddenly. He stared at me, glaring and his nostrils flaring. I bit my lip. I really hope he didn't smell Edward on me.

"Jake, what is it?" I asked.

Jacob started shaking. He looked at Billy, who nodded.

"Bella, let's go outside and talk," he said through his teeth.

He turned and went outside without waiting for my answer. I put Sophie in her playpen and followed him outside. Jake turned to me when I stopped behind him after shutting the back door.

"Bella, who were you just with?" he asked, still shaking.

"A friend," I said, keeping my distance.

"What is your friend's name?" he asked.

I paused a minute before answering.

"Edward Cullen," I answered finally.

"Bella! Stay away from him and the Cullens. They're dangerous! They're-"

"Vampires?" I finished for him. "And you're a werewolf?" I said. He stopped shaking.

"I told her," I heard Edward's voice come out of the dark. He was suddenly next to me, wrapping his arms protectively around my waist and moved my body behind his.

"Get your filthy hands off of her," Jacob said, shaking more violently now.

"Jake, it's okay," I said, trying to move towards him, but Edward held me in my spot.

"Bella, he's a bloodsucker! He could hurt you," Jacob said.

"He won't hurt me. You don't understand, Jake. It's Edward. As in Edward Masen," I said. Jake froze all together.

"You mean Edward Masen, the one from Phoenix you told me about?" Jake asked.

I nodded. "He's also Sophie's father. She was conceived before he was changed. He didn't know until a few days ago because I thought he was dead," I said.

"Wait, when were you changed?" Jacob asked.

"About a year ago," Edward said, tense.

"A newborn vampire. That makes it even worse," Jake said.

"Yes, but I have self control that no other newborn has ever had. Even though Bella's blood sings to me, I'm still able to keep control," Edward said.

I stared up at him confused. "What do you mean my blood sings to you?"

"Your blood is more potent than anyone else's. It only smells that way to me, though," he said. I nodded.

"Wait. Did the Cullen's change you? Did-" Jake started, but Edward cut him off.

"They didn't break the treaty. A nomad vampire changed me. I was stabbed and he smelt the blood and came running. He changed me, then I woke up alone. I came here then and found the Cullens," Edward said.

Wait, I thought Alice changed him. I looked up at him and saw him glaring at Jake. He squeezed my hand. A signal to keep quiet. I kept quiet.

"They better not have," Jake said.

"Treaty?" I suddenly asked.

"About 70 years ago, the Cullens made a treaty with my great grandfather. You remember the story I told you that 1st summer we met?" Jake asked, looking at me.

I thought back and then remembered about the wolves and how he was a descendent from them. I nodded.

"Well, if they set foot on our land or bite a human, the truce is over and we attack," Jake said, glaring at Edward now. I understood why Edward was lying now.

I instinctively stood in front of Edward protectively. The thought of him getting hurt, hurt me. I've been there once, and I don't plan to go back.

"I'm not going to hurt him, Bella. He hasn't broken the treaty. Yet," he added, still glaring at Edward.

"Bells? Jacob? Billy is ready to go, Jacob," Charlie called from inside the house.

Edward kissed my cheek, then scaled the house, jumping into my room. Jake and I walked back inside. After telling Jake and Billy bye, I got Sophie a bottle. I sat down at the kitchen table and fed her.

"We need to talk, Bella," Charlie said, sitting across from me.

"Okay," I said.

"What happened today at school?" he asked. I sighed.

"Lauren Mallory was talking about Sophie. I didn't like it. She had no right to talk about her that way. It struck a cord and I lunged for her," I said, staring down at Sophie.

"What did she say?" Charlie asked.

"How the father probably bailed when I told him and all that. And about how Sophie will grow up to be a tramp," I said, glancing up at Charlie. He turned red, then breathed in deeply.

"I'll call her mom and talk to her," Charlie said. I nodded.

He got up and walked to the living room, but paused at the doorway.

"Bells?" Charlie asked.

"Yeah, Dad?" I asked.

"Losing Edward, it'll get better soon. I promise. You won't be sad forever," he said. I looked up to him and smiled. He smiled back, then walked into the living room.

I smiled down at Sophie. You have no idea, Dad, I thought to myself.
