Taylor Cullen

"How much longer do I have to stay here?" Bella whined to Carlisle. It has been a week since she had Crispin, thanks to her wolf DNA she healed quickly; but we couldn't say the same for Crispin. His process was slow and terrifying. "I mean I have been here for a week already, can't I get out? I am pretty sure all the nurses are getting sick of me."

I stifled a laugh as I noticed Carlisle roll his eyes. "For the last time Bella, I already said you could stay at the hotel and visit Crispin for a couple hours everyday. You were the one who wanted to stay longer."

Bella huffed, crossing her arms. "Alright fine, give me the discharge papers to sign and we will go to the hotel."

I sighed, and nodded to Carlisle. "Go ahead Carlisle."

"What's the matter Taylor?" Bella asked.

"Nothing. Just missing home, I guess."

"Did Sita go back home?"

I shook my head, helping Bella into her shirt. "No, she is at the hotel with Edward.

"No reason for you stay here. You could go back for awhile if you want." Bella pressed. "It will be some time before Crispin will be able to go home."

"I know Bella, but I am not going to leave with out you."

Bella gave me a watery smile. "Thanks. Shall we then? I heard there was this great restaurant a few miles away, it can be like old times..." She trailed off, her face filling with blood. "Er, well the only difference being you wouldn't be eating."

I laughed at her uncomfortable blushing face and wrapped an arm around her as we walked out of the hospital room she called home for the passed week and a half. "No worries. I'd be happy to take you. Besides, I could eat if I really wanted to; but according to Edward the consequences of eating are not that fun."

Bella wrinkled her nose in disgust. "Yeah, not something I really want to see."

"Carlisle, you have those papers ready?" I asked as we approached the reception desk. He nodded. "Great. We are going to go grab a bite to eat." I noticed the color of his eyes then, "maybe you should think of getting something to eat too. I am sure these fine nurses can keep an eye on things until you returned."

He nodded. "Of course, you are probably right." He turned his attention to an older woman who looked to be in her late fifties. "I shall return in a couple hours."

"Take your time doctor." She appraised him up and down with a meaningful eye. "It looks like you could use some rest. I will call you if anything happens."

"Thank you." He turned towards us. "Shall we?"

Bella grinned and nodded. "We shall."

Dinner was uneventful, Carlisle left us with the car while he went to the nearby forest looking for something to eat. We decided to go to a restaurant close to the hotel and Bella seemed pretty happy to have human food and not the hospital food she was eating. After she was done, I paid and we decided to take a short drive around the city before heading back to the hotel. Two hours later found me and an overly tipsy Bella stumbling towards our room. Edward opened the door before I even had a chance to get the key out of my pocket. I grinned up at my husband, my smile faltering when I noticed his dark expression.

"What's going on?"

"We have a... visitor." He whispered.

"Who?" I asked puzzled. I couldn't smell anything but Bella. "No one knows we are here except for the family."

Edward ignored me, and instead was looking at Bella. "Is she drunk?"

Bella giggled, putting her fingers on Edward's lips. "Shh, don't want mom finding out."

He rose an eyebrow at me and I shrugged. "Guess she can't hold her liquor. Whose here?"

"Someone she was trying to get away from."

I groaned. "How in the world did he find us?"

"From what I gathered, he stole Seth's phone and got your number and traced it."

"Dammit. I do not want to deal with this right now. We have too much to worry about already."

"How is he?"

I frowned. "No change yet, although Carlisle says he should recover. Worse case is we might have to give him some of Bella's blood."

"I see." He turned his head a fraction. "Come on, he is getting antsy."

I sighed. "Can you take her?" He nodded and picked Bella up bridal style.

"You are sooo strong." Bella slurred, then giggled again. "Are you up for some fun?"

Edward gave me a horrified look and I laughed. "I am not going to let her drink anymore."

We walked into the sitting area of the room. The Cullens have always be easy on their money so everything is always extravagant. Two bedrooms with two adjoining rooms and it cost around a thousand dollars a night. I wonder if they notice how easy they spend their money. I faltered when I seen him standing there. He looked terrible, more so when I last saw him. He seemed thinner, his cheeks were hollow and his hair grew it, it was almost to his shoulders. It looked like his eyes sunk further into his head.

"Jake.." I gasped, my heart breaking.

"Taylor." He replied coldly. "I would like to speak to Bella alone."

I winced at his tone, "I'm afraid that won't be possible Jake, she's kind of drunk."

"It's the big bad wolf." Bella laughed hysterically like it was the funniest thing she ever heard.

"At least she won't lie to me like this." He turned his attention to the lump in Edward's arms. "Bella."

Bella cowered under his cold glare. "Jacob..."

"I want to know why."

"Why?" She echoed.

"Why you left."

Tears formed in my sister's eyes. "I was scared."

"Of what?"

"You imprinting on someone." Her voice was barely a whisper.

"What does that have to do with anything?" He asked angrily. "Instead of talking to me, you just left with my son!"

"It wasn't like that. I wasn't going to stay away forever Jake... I just needed some time." Bella was openly crying now, her drunk induced state making her emotions run free.

"No, it was exactly like that. Who cares if I would have imprinted?"

"I do!" Bella screamed. "You would have left me for her."

"I would have fought it.. Bella you know I love you."

She shook her head vigorously. "No you wouldn't have been able to fight it Jacob. Look at what Sam did to Leah, he couldn't fight it. I couldn't handle it if it happened to me."

Jake sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Regardless, you still had no right to take my son from me."

"I wasn't going to keep him from you.." Bella whispered.

"That's not the point!" He growled, his body slightly shaking. "I love you Bella, I wanted to marry you, and you just left with no explanation."

"I'm sorry."

"Jake, maybe you should wait until morning." I suggested.

His cold eyes snapped to my direction. "This is your fault. You are the one who convinced her to run away, to stay away from me."

My mouth fell open in shock. "No Jacob, this was not my fault." I growled. "I helped my sister when she asked for it, I wasn't going to turn my back on her."

"You could have told me!"

I sighed. "It wasn't my place to tell Jake. You should get some sleep. Your a little on edge and I don't think it would be a good idea for you to wolf out in here. After you have rested we will take you to see Crispin okay?"

"Crispin?" I smiled and nodded. "Fine, but this conversation isn't over." He stormed off to an empty room and slammed the door behind him.

"That went well." Edward muttered after a few minutes.

I rolled my eyes, "Where is Sita?"

"I asked Carlise to take her out for awhile." I nodded. "I am going to go put this on to bed, while you and Jake were arguing she passed out."

"Probably a good idea. I guess she drank more then I thought." I sighed and flopped onto the couch, turning the tv on to some random channel.

"Do you think those two will get back together?" Edward asked a few moments later, joining me on the couch.

I shrugged. "I don't thin Jake will get passed this. Maybe it's for the best, I mean I've seen how the wolves are with their imprints, it's just like a vampire and their mate."

"I always wondered about that bond." I raised an eyebrow. "I mean when they imprint on someone is it love or the best possible match to continue the line?"

"I think it's a bit of both. I don't know if it is love at first sight or anything, but I think the love part comes after."

Edward smiled at me, gathering me into his arms. "I am lucky I already found mine."

I laughed. "And we got to reproduce. Now our bloodline will never die."

"Literally." He laughed. "I am actually curious what Sita's children will look like..." He trailed off, probably remembering a female wolf imprinted on her. "Maybe we will get lucky and it is just a friend thing with Leah and Sita."

"It would make sense. I mean it is not like the two of them can reproduce or anything."

Edward shuddered. "I do not want to think about that right now."

I grinned at him. "You know... there is an extra bedroom." I winked at him.

He lifted me up into his arms, I squealed at the sudden movement. "Then what are we waiting for?" He headed towards the bedroom.

We collapsed onto the bed, and the world seemed to disappear with every kiss he gave me.

Bella Swan

He could hear voices all around him, he couldn't understand what he was hearing; but he didn't hear the one that mattered. He didn't hear the one that he has always heard, it was gone and replaced by cold unloving voices. He wanted her, he wanted to hear her speak the language he didn't understand... he wanted to feel her love again. He opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out so he closed it. He tried it again and all that came out was a wailing sound. He heard the unfamiliar voices come closer, could feel them poking and prodding at him and then something was shoved into his mouth. He drank it down greedily. He still wanted to feel her love...

"Crispin!" I shouted, sitting straight up. I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and blearily looked around. I was in a hotel bedroom, how in the world did I get in here? "Ugh.." I groaned, clutching my head. I must have drank more than I thought I did.

I slowly climbed out of bed and made my way slowly to the bathroom, maybe a hot shower will help. Twenty minutes later, I stepped out of the shower, my head still pounding. I noticed clothes on my bed and some water on the table and two little white pills sitting beside it. "Thank you Taylor." I muttered, knowing she could hear me. I quickly got dressed, took the advil and made my way out to the main part of the hotel.

"Good morning sunshine." Taylor greeted me cheerily. "Sleep well?"

"Ugh." I groaned again. "Do you have to speak to loud?"

Taylor laughed, her voice sounding like tinkling wind chimes. "I am talking normally, maybe you shouldn't have drank so much."

"Don't remind me."

"Do..." She hesitated. "Do you remember anything from last night?"

I thought back to last night. I remember the bar, I remember ordering shot after shot, hiding it from Taylor. I remember leaving the bar, the car ride back to the hotel. I remember Edward opening the door... "Oh my God." I asked my brother in law to sleep with me. My face flushed crimson and I heard Edward laughing.

"She remembers up to me carrying her inside."

"Human brains are so confusing." Taylor muttered.

"I'm sorry?" I asked, confused.

"Well there was one more thing that happened last night..."

"Morning." I snapped my head towards the voice.

"Oh my God... Jake..." I swallowed the lump in my throat.

"Bella." He nodded cooly. "Where is breakfast? I'm starving."

"Glad to see your appetite is back." Taylor replied cheerfully, he just glared at her.

"Uh... would it be okay for you to drive me to the hospital Taylor?" She nodded, looking at me curiously. "I had a really strange dream last night, and I just really want to see him."

"Of course." She grabbed her keys and turned towards Jake. "You okay with eating at the hospital?"

"Sure." He snatched his coat off the coach and headed towards the door. "Let's go then."

Twenty minutes later found us back at the hospital, Taylor and Edward were off talking to Carlisle, so Jake and I just stood there in awkward silence. Five minutes later they came back and said we could go in and see him now. Taylor explained to me that Crispin was doing better, he even started to eat now. I grinned at the news and put my sanitary hospital get up on so I could go see him, Jacob following suit.

"You coming Taylor?" Jake asked.

"Um, not right now. You two go on. Try not to fight." I glared at her and then followed the nurse to Crispin's crib. The nurse lifted him out and I gasped at how... healthy he looked, and he was wire free. The nurse was about to hand him to me and I shook my head and pointed towards Jake. Jake swallowed and nervously took Crispin. I smiled at the sight. "Say hello to your son... Crispin Jacob Black."

A/ N: Here is chapter nine. Sorry it took awhile to update, writer's block. Had a lot of trouble on how to write their reunion. Hope you like it, and don't forget to review.
