The walk back to La Push that night seemed like it was one hundred miles longer than usual. Jacob Black kept his hands in his jean pockets, thinking on what he could possibly say. It seemed that the only option would be to come clean with anything. He couldn't hide anything from the people who were like brothers to him. Metaphorically and literally. As soon as he phased, they would be able to hear his thoughts like an announcement on the public broadcasting system. Seeing as Alice was the only thing on his mind until now, it would be inevitable for them to figure it out.

Of course this was assuming that Sam had not already put the pieces together himself. Still, whether they knew or not, he had to tell them. Not doing so was just cowardly. After all, telling them would just further protect Alice, right? A pack member's imprint was not to be harmed due to the effect it would have on the werewolf. As long as she stayed safe that was really all that mattered. The only problem that would hopefully remain after this confrontation would be the Cullen's, more specifically Jasper.

Jacob wasn't really sure what he would do, what he could do, about Jasper. Would Alice openly leave him? Would he let her? Jacob would rip his head off with his bare claw if he tried to keep the short pixie Cullen away from him. Calming himself down, he had to remind himself that even Alice did not know yet. It was said that eventually an imprint and their mate will be drawn together no matter what. However, Jacob knew he had to tell Alice before he acted on these jealous thoughts towards Jasper.

Upon reaching La Push, he was instantly broken from his thoughts by the presence of others. Looking up, it was no surprise to see Sam, Paul, Embry, and Quil. Not everyone but the ones that mattered in this case.

"what the hell was that man?" questioned Quil throwing his hands in the air. An obviously confused look across his face. Everyone there new he was referring to the meeting earlier today. Quil had been one of the other two pack members accompanying Sam. No doubt they had informed the others of what happen.

"listen I have some explaining to do" started Jacob.

"He imprinted on that damn bloodsucker that's what it was!" exclaimed Paul while pointing an accusing finger towards the young man. Embry and Quil had faces of shock and confusion, while Sam stood with a grim look. "Go on admit!"

"Alright that's enough, Paul" Sam finally spoke in a stern voice. Turning to Jacob, he seemed to wait for some sort of denial but when none came he continued, "so you have imprinted on a vampire."

"Doesn't that break like every rule in the treaty or something?" Embry asked scratching his head.

"I didn't choose who to imprint on! It just happens" Jacob finally said speaking up for himself.

"Well if you weren't in the company of bloodsuckers all the time, this wouldn't have happen" muttered Paul, crossing his arms over his chest.

"No, Jake's right. He had no control over this. Whether he did or did not have contact with them on a casual basis would not have changed the outcome. One way or another, this was bound to happen" Sam stated. His expression seemed straight, and though it may seem like he was siding with Jake, he knew Sam was none to happy about the situation.

"I'm guessing we can't do anything about it" Quil stated more than asked.

"You know what killing an imprint would do to the mate, Quil. As much as we may not like it, Alice Cullen is not to be harmed under any circumstances by anyone in this pack" Sam said firmly.

"Though technically we couldn't attack them because of the treaty" Embry reminded them. "So this is like insurance for her."

Jake had remained surprisingly quiet while this was all going on. Considering, this was his dilemma. Part of him was comforted in the fact that he was not banished in some form from the pack. And that Sam seemed to take all the information in stride. While he may not be pleased with the new developments. He understood the situation and figured it was just one of those curveballs life seemed to throw at you. In the long run, perhaps it would even maintain peace, either that or it would destroy the treaty faster.

"Okay so she is safe. But I'd bet my money that the bloodsuckers aren't going to be happy about it" Paul chimed in. He had a point there. "Does she even know yet?"

"Well, no" Jacob admitted a bit bashfully. "I mean I was going to tell her but then Sam and you two showed up. Plus she's kinda…married" as he said this, a collective groan come from the group.

"So any chance of not pissing of the bloodsuckers is gone because at least one will have a personal hit out for you" Quil said shaking his head at the newest development.

"Good. I hope he does attack Jacob. I've been needed an excuse to rip some vampire heads off" Paul added, showing a bit of a positive side to it.

"You would be the one Jacob. If the girl isn't dating a bloodsucker, she's married to one. You ever heard of these things called human women?" Embry asked of course it was a rhetorical question. But he too had a point. What was it with Jacob and girls who were attached to vampires. Unfortunately, this was not just a crush as he had had on Bella. This was something irreversible.

"First things first. Jacob, you need to tell her about this. Get her reaction. Then we'll worry about how the others will react. Their leader is smart, he won't just let one emotional vampire ruin a treaty that's been in place for centuries" Sam spoke sternly.

Paul merely scoffed as he walked away. Embry patted him on the back before the other three pack mates left Jacob to himself. Heading towards his own house, he had a feeling there would be nothing romantic about this. He would just have to say it and hope for the best.

"So what are you going to do now?" asked Bella though the cell phone in her hand. On the other end was a distressed Jacob Black.

"The only thing I can do. I have to tell her tomorrow" Jacob replied with a sigh. This was not the way he wanted to do it, but there was no other option.

"So the pack took it…well?" she asked being full of questions. It didn't take long for her to call him a short while after he had returned home. From there their conversation continued long into the night about what he was going to do about the situation and how he was going to go about it.

"I wouldn't say well. More like they accepted the fact that there was nothing they could do about it now and there was no point in arguing over it. At least that's how Sam seemed to handle it. Paul was fuming though" Jacob answered her as he thought back to the meeting. He was sure that Sam felt the same way on the inside, but to promote unity and fulfill his role as a leader he remained as tame as he could be.

"Compared to how it could have gone I'd consider it well" after pausing for a response, she continued when she received none. "Is there anything I can do to help the situation?"

After a second, Jacob replied, "just the usual. Make sure no bloodsuckers are around to kill me when I deliver the news."

"Assuming Alice doesn't kill you? I think I can handle the rest" Bella replied, trying to lighten the mood but at the same time being a bit serious. She had no idea how Alice would react. Then again, she was unaware of how the mating process worked. Did the imprints eventually fall in love with their mate? If so then perhaps the vampire's reaction wouldn't be so bad.

"Thanks Bella. I don't know what I'd do without you" Jacob replied through the phone honestly. Bella had to resist the urge to tell him that he wouldn't be in this situation without her.

"Anytime Jake. I'll see you soon."

Hanging up, he laid back in his bed pressing his face into his hands. He really didn't know what he would do with her. She made this murky situation a bit more clear. Now that he had the problem of getting some alone time with her solved, Jake needed to figure out how he should tell her. There was really no sugar coating it, especially now that Sam and the pack expected him to have the deed done. They were more interested in getting the situation settled with the rest of the bloodsuckers. Any excuse to go to war seemed fitting and Jacob just hoped he didn't give them that excuse.

Then there was the situation beyond Alice's reaction and the bloodsuckers collective reaction. Jasper's reaction would really define everything. He tried not to think that far ahead and take it one step at a time, but Jake had a feeling he would have to deal with it sooner rather than later. First things first though and if he was going to deal with tomorrow, then he had to get a good nights sleep tonight or at least try to.

Alice bounced along the hallways as the final bell for the school day rang throughout the halls. She couldn't remember how many times she had heard that bell in how many different schools. That wasn't important right now though. The pixie haired vampire actually had plans today. Or at least that's what she was told. Bella instructed her that they would be cooking today!

There was nothing Alice loved more than cooking, aside from shopping of course. Nothing came before shopping for new clothes. Often, Esme and herself would try out their new recipes on Bella when she came by seeing as no one else was willing to try them. Curiously, Alice pondered if Jake would like to have a taste one day. It seemed that she had been thinking of the mutt a lot more. No that wasn't right. She had been thinking of Jacob Black a lot more. He wasn't a mutt, that was a derogatory term she was trying to refrain from using or thinking. If he was managing to not call her a bloodsucker then it only seemed fair to return the favor.

Thinking of Jacob Black was not the only new thing that was happening more often. Bella asking her to hang out was also occurring more than usual. Not that she was complaining. Bella was practically a sister to her without all the legalities that was required for them to be sister in laws. Still, she couldn't help but notice whenever they hung out, Jacob was there as well. The movies, when she trying on dresses, heck she wouldn't bet against him showing up today. Not that she would really mind. Jake was really nice once you got to know him. Plus he wasn't bad to look at. I mean sure Jasper was her soul mate but he just wasn't built like that boy. That boy was built like a man for pete's sake!

Hearing a cough, Alice returned her attention to where she was walking. "Oh hello, Edward!" she said a cheeky smile crossing her features. His reply was a raised eyebrow. "What?" she could think about whatever she wanted right?

"You ready Alice?" Bella questioned appearing from behind her boyfriend. Receiving a nod from the pixie, she gave Edward a kiss goodbye. "I'll see you tonight."

"Bye Edward" Alice waved as they headed towards Bella's car.

"Bella" the vampire questioned as they drove down the road towards the human's abode.

"Yeah?"

"Is Jake going to be with us today?" the slight cringe Bella made did not go unnoticed in her peripherals. They happened to be as sharp as her straight vision. "It's okay. I'm not mad, just curious. Why are you always hanging out with the two of us…at the same time?"

"Well you know…I'm just trying to mend the relationships between the pack and vampires, or at least the Cullens. Seeing as I'm friends with both parties" Bella lied. As much as she wished that could be the truth, she knew werewolves and vampires would not become friends by hanging out while looking through a cooking recipe.

"Oh" the small vampire replied thinking over the answer for a second. "That's very noble of you, Bella."

"Thank you, Alice" The remainder of the ride was fairly quiet except for the radio. Every now and then Alice would turn up a song she liked, but it wasn't long before they arrived in front of the Swan household. The small woman only hoped they wouldn't be having a run in with any werewolves this time. Except of course the one that was waiting for them when they arrived.

"Glad you could make it" Bella said as she exited the drivers side and gave her best friend a hug.

Jake returned the hug before glancing over at Alice. "Alice, nice to see you again" he couldn't help but let his genuine happiness to see her show through for once. Typically he masked his emotions when he was around Alice due to the fact that he did not want her to notice anything different, but seeing as the truth was all coming out, he saw no reason to do so anymore.

"Jacob" Alice replied giving a little wave that sent his heart fluttering. Alice was always the cheery type and the fact that she was being herself around him meant something special. Considering in their first encounter, they weren't exactly friendly to each other.

"Why don't we head inside and we can get the supplies ready" Bella suggested. The was already set in her mind, she just had to put it into motion. "Jake are you going to help?"

"I might as well" he offered with a shrug. "Though I must warn you, I eat more than I make."

"well you'll just have to contain yourself today. No sneaking a taste!" Alice informed him as they made their way inside. The young werewolf through her a lopsided grin that surprisingly had the pixie blushing. That is, if she could blush. She followed Bella into the kitchen, as Jake headed to the cabinets for a snack. Food was calming for the wolf in time of nervousness, what could he say?

"So, uhm, Alice. I was thinking of just making something simple like a cake" Bella said knowing full well that this day had nothing to do with cooking any food.

"That's fine with me. But next time you come to our house you must try this chicken alfredo I just learned how to make" the pixie haired woman informed her. A genuine smile across her face as she spoke about the food dishes she could create.

"that's not fair" mumbled Jake, causing the two women to turn to him with a questioning look.

"What's not?"

"Bella gets to try you're food but I don't. that's cruel to even mention that around me!"

A small giggle escaped Alice's lips. He seemed truly upset over this fact, it was humorous. Obviously not to him, but to Alice it was. She should have guessed mentioning any sort of food that he could not get was a bad idea. "I'm sorry Jake. How about I bring you your own bowl afterwards" she offered. "And I promise not to bring it in a doggy bowl either."

Jacob tried to give her a scornful look at the bad attempt at a joke, but did you really expect him to be able to give this woman a scornful look. Instead it turned into a playful glare. "I guess I'll settle for that." As they had been conversing, Bella was searching through the refrigerator for the necessary ingredients for their baking project.

"Bad news guys" she finally spoke, closing the door. "Looks like we're out of eggs. I can head to the store really quick, that is unless you two can't behave yourselves?"

"I'm fine if shorty here can resist me" he teased with a grin. Alice simply smiled and Bella took that as their respective signs that they could handle themselves.

"Alright, I'll be right back then" Grabbing her keys off of the table, she headed out of the kitchen. The closing of the front door and revving of the engine confirmed that she had left for the store. Looking over at Alice the nerves suddenly started to come back in full force for the young shape shifter. How could he fearlessly track down a carnivorous vampire but when it came to telling this small pixie the truth, he was like a little pup.

Clearing his throat, he prayed that he wouldn't be stuttering through this. "Alice" a 'mm' from her let him know that she was listening. "Have you noticed anything, I don't know, different between us?"

"What do you mean, Jacob? I've noticed that we don't want to rip each others head apart anymore. Even if I still think you should wear an air freshener as a necklace" she replied as she continued to gather the objects from the cabinets.

"Well yeah that, but anything else. Like…emotionally?"

This caused Alice to stop what she was doing. Placing the mixing bowl on the counter, she looked over at the young man questioningly. She had noticed some change in the way she thought of him, but it was just a result of them being around each other more often wasn't it? "Well sure. I guess…I care about your well being more than I had or probably should."

He had to stop himself from letting a smile leap to his features at her words. They were simple but significant. She felt something, whether she knew it or not. Now was just a matter of telling her why. "What if there was a reason behind it all?" he asked moving slightly closer to her.

"Jacob Black, what are you getting at? I don't understand" Alice said now thoroughly confused, but wanting, no needing to know what was going on.

"A reason for it all! Hanging around each other more often. Caring about each other. Me not being able to take my eyes off of you." the vampire was silent. Unsure of what she could say, this all seemed to be coming out of nowhere to her. Taking a deep breath, Jacob looked down at his feet before looking her in the eyes. He wondered what color her eyes had been before she was turned. Probably a brilliant green, or captivating ocean blue. It was a random thought but somehow it seemed to calm him. "Alice, I-I imprinted on you."

The next few seconds were spent with the two staring at each other. Jake was waiting for some sort of reaction.

"What's imprinted?"

Had the situation not been so serious Jacob might have actually found that comical. However, this was definitely not the time to be sharing a hearty laugh. "For use werewolves it's when you find your soul mate. The one and only person you can be with happily for the rest of your life. The only one that you would die for and die without."

After hearing this, she appeared to be a bit taken back." And I'm this person?" avoiding her gaze, Jake nodded. "But how? What does this mean?"

"We have no control over it. It's just something that happens when you first meet the person" Jake explained. "I…I don't know what it means" he lied. This was all a lot to take in at one time. How was he supposed to explain that she would be the one and only person for him. That every time he thought of her with Jasper, he wanted to tear off his head. He couldn't. at least not in those words.

"So I'm your soul mate?" Alice spoke trying to clarify things. Jake nodded and she continued. "But then what does that make you?"

"A lucky guy."

"Jacob Black! This is not the time for jokes. This is a very serious situation" Alice scolded him and Jake's smile quickly disappeared from his face. "I need time to think this through. Tell Bella, I'll see her tomorrow." With that Alice made her way towards the door, grabbing her coat on the way out.

"Alice, wait!" jake called after her. This was not what he wanted to happen. It wasn't the worst outcome but close to it. As if she had obeyed his command, Alice stopped at the doorway. "Alice?" Jake walked over towards her cautiously, before she fell back into his arms. "Alice!" Her eyes fluttered slightly before fully opening.

"I had a vision."

A/N: .dun! Well I think this chapter came out faster than the last which is an improvement! It is also longer though I have yet to match my first chapter D=.finally, he tells her! I went for the confused reaction because she really has no clue what the heck is going on. In later chapters once she fully understands the situation, her reaction will be a bit more defined for sure. I still haven't figured out what will happen with jasper but I decided to end it with a cliffhanger. What was her vision?

That brings me to my final two questions. First. I just watched Eclipse. Do you guys want me to continue into the eclipse storyline with the story? Obviously it'd have a Jacob/Alice view of things. Or do you want me to keep it a strict Alice/Jacob love story on it's own?

Second. I have not read the books so my knowledge comes strictly from the movies and wikia's, as I have stated before. So my question is this. When it comes to the imprinting. Is it ever defined how the imprintee will feel? For example Jacob is obviously going to fall in love with her, but will the same be said for Alice or would she sorta have to choose him? If that makes any sense.

Anyway don't forget to review! It really keeps us writers going.
