Well, here's the next chapter. What we have here is some more Jacob POV goodness. Hope ya'll like it. And if you get a chance, go ahead and send me a review. I love to see people hit my story, but I was hoping for more reviews. It's so hard to continue writing without them. Please, please, please let me know what you think. (look at that, you've made me beg...I hope you're all happy!...Just kidding.) As always, I don't own.

Jacob POV

By the time Seth and I got back home, Sam had assembled the entire pack. He hadn't told any of them what we were doing. In fact, he waited until we had arrived to phase back into wolf form. Once all were present, he began to think...

"OK, we have all seen what Seth and Jacob have seen over on the Cullen's land." He paused, pacing in front of us. "We can't allow whatever it is Bella is pregnant with to live. It might be dangerous to every human in this area. Hell, even they don't know what it is. We have no choice but to attack!"

"What?" I shouted in my mind. "Technically, the Cullen's haven't broken the treaty. No one has been bitten or killed. Bella hasn't even had the baby yet. You can't go over there and kill it until..." My thoughts trailed off and a feeling of dread spread across me. I looked at Sam, disbelief in my eyes. "You're gonna kill Bella, before her baby can be born."

Sam looked into my eyes and I could see something fierce and barbaric. I'd never seen a look like that from him before. "We have no choice, Jacob. We can't allow it to be born. We need to dispose of it now. It can't fight back if it hasn't been born yet, it'll be at its most vulnerable."

I could hear some agreement from the pack, but also some reluctance. I was speechless for a moment, but only a moment.

"Sam, we can't kill Bella! She's not a vampire. We don't kill people. It's murder."

Suddenly, I felt a very heavy weight press me to the ground. I tried to stand, but failed.

"I'm not giving you a choice, Jake. We need everyone for this. Bella decided her fate when she married Edward." He turned to the rest of the pack. "We'll need to focus on Jasper and Emmett, since they are the most dangerous. The others are not fighters and Edward is too distracted with Bella to fight effectively. We just need to get him away from her just long enough to..."

"NO! We can't do this!" Shouted Seth bravely, stepping closer to Sam. "This is Bella we're talking about here. I felt the baby kick, Sam. It's just a baby. You can't kill it before..."

I looked over and Seth was pinned to the ground the same as I was.

"We are a pack, Seth and we will all do what we have to. We must protect our land!"

Seth whimpered, trying in vain to stand. I actually felt a little pride in my pack mate. It took balls for the kid to stand against the alpha like that. I loud growl formed in my throat. I couldn't allow this.

"I WILL NOT KILL BELLA!" I shouted. As soon as I thought this, I could feel the invisible weight holding me down suddenly lift. I stood, my face inches from Sam's. I looked deep into his wolf eyes. "And I will not let you kill her either! You hold no control over me anymore." Before Sam could respond, I turned and ran as fast as I could towards the Cullen's house. I had to warn them.

I ran for only a minute or two before I could hear foot falls behind me. I started to run faster, determined to beat the pack to the Cullen's house, but then a voice entered my mind.

"Slow down, man, we're coming with you!"

I turned just enough to see Seth and Leah slowly catching up to me. As far as I could tell, they were alone. I slowed down so they could pull up to my side.

"How did you break free of Sam?" I asked, not stopping.

"It was cool man, I just thought 'I'm with Jake on this one', and the weight was gone. I'm not gonna let them kill Edward and Bella's baby. It's innocent. So is Bella. I didn't sign up to kill people, Jake. I can't."

I thought over to Leah. "And what about you? You hate the Cullens and Bella."

Lean grumbled. "I still hate them, but I go where Seth goes. If he's gonna go and be the bloodsucker's lap dog, then I guess so am I. I won't abandon my family. Besides, I agree with Seth. I can't help kill a person, no matter how much I might dislike her."

I growled. "You both need to go back."

"No, Jake. I'm with you on this and Leah is with me, so unless you plan to order us to go back, you're just gonna have to deal with our help."

I sighed. He was so stubborn. They both were. I wasn't gonna force anyone to do anything they didn't want. I wasn't gonna make the same mistake Sam had just made.

"Fine." I thought, speeding up. They followed close behind me. We were getting close now.

"Jake?" Seth asked. "How close do we have to be for Edward to hear our thoughts?"

I looked sideways at Seth. "I don't know, but now is as good a time as any!"

Seth and I both started screaming in our minds...

Jasper POV

I sat quietly with Alice and Emmett in Carlisle's study. Rose and Edward were with Bella, while Esme and Carlisle were in the spare room. They were setting it up to use it as a make shift delivery room. Everyone was on edge. We were all feeling a mixture of fear, anxiety and uncertainty. I looked over at Alice, her head was bowed in concentration. Ever since Edward and Bella had returned, Alice had lost clear sight of Bella. It was causing her to have severe headaches. I hadn't even known it was possible for us to have headaches. All I could do for my wife was rub her back and send as many soothing waves to her as I could.

This situation was bad. Very Bad.

Suddenly, I felt something powerful. It was mixture of fear, anger and possibly some annoyance. It was coming from the woods, closing in fast. Three distinct mind. I held my breath as I took in the emotion.

"What is it, Jazz?" Alice asked, temporarily forgetting her own head pains. Emmett looked over at me as well, concerned.

"Three minds, coming this way from the woods. They are afraid and angry. Something is wrong." Emmett gave me a look, raising his eyebrows. "More wrong than everything already is, man. You know what I mean. Come on."

I got up, grabbing both Alice and Emmett by the wrists and dragging them out the door. We were almost down the stairs when Edward yelled up to us.

"We got trouble!" He confirmed. "It's Jacob, Seth and Leah. They are screaming in my mind." He met us at the bottom of the stairs. Carlisle and Esme were right behind us. "The pack are going to attack. They want to kill Bella before she can have the baby!"

We all growled. Carlisle rushed over to the far wall in the Kitchen and opened a metal panel, pulling a lever. Heavy metal shutters lowered slowly over all the of the glass surrounding the house. I had known Carlisle had installed the security windows when he had made the treaty with the wolves so many years ago, just in case. We had never had to use them.

"Emmett, you and Jasper go to the side door." Carlisle instructed. "Edward and I will meet the wolves at the front door. Esme, Alice and Rose, stay with Bella! Everyone relax. Remember these three are here to warn us, not to attack us, so be calm until we know more."

I sent calming vibes to all of my family, focusing more on Bella than the others. She didn't need to be stressing in her condition. Edward gave me an appreciative look and I smiled weakly in his direction. I felt sorry for my brother. He was dealing with a lot and all any of us could do was support him as best we could. We all knew this was probably going to end badly.

I stood with Emmett at the side door. We were both on high alert.

"I never believed they would actually attack." Emmett commented, looking out into the forest. My larger brother was angry. Very angry, but he was handling it very well...for Emmett. He looked over to me, leaning more heavily on the door frame. I knew what was bothering him more than a possible fight with the wolves. It was the very real possibility we might lose a member of the family if it came to a fight. It would be an ugly and bloody fight that neither side could win without casualties.

I sighed, nodding my head in agreement. We both looked over to see Jacob emerged from the tree line in human form. We was flanked by two wolves. Jacob moved towards Edward and Carlisle while the wolves broke off back into the woods. I had been in enough battles to know they were doing a perimeter run. It certainly looked like they were here to help us. We both listened carefully as Jacob began to speak.

"Sam decided to try and kill Bella before she could have her baby. He's convinced whatever she is carrying will be a danger. I won't let him hurt her."

"How did you break free of Sam's control?" I heard Carlisle ask.

"I'm the true alpha of our pack. He only had control over me because I didn't care to try and take it back. As for Seth and Leah, apparently, once they decided to follow me instead of Sam, they broke free as well. As far as I can tell, we are our own separate pack now." He explained. "Leah and Seth are checking the perimeter around your house. I don't know if the pack will still attack or not. I honestly can't believe Sam is willing to commit murder to protect our land."

Before the conversation could continue further, we heard a car approach the house. Emmett and I both stepped outside further to look out at the driveway. A familiar white mustang pulled up and a very upset looking Kira got out of the car. I gave Emmett a meaningful look, asking him to hold down the fort. He nodded and I reentered the house to join my daughter.

What was Kira doing here?
