and I would be like those happy couples. I looked down at my belly and smiled. It looked as if I was in my 9th month,

although I was only in the middle of my fifth. That was expected though. Vampires are always faster than humans, even half

ones. I was so worked up in thinking about the future I didnt even notice when someone came behind me.

“Bells,” a husky voice came from in front of me. I looked up startled.

“Oh my gosh Jacob. I haven’t seen you in well, a while. I would hug you but, you know.” I said pointing to my belly. He sighed.

“Bells, I love you, please come back to me. I don’t care if you have leech children.” I rolled my eyes.

“Jake, I was never with you, and I never will be. I love you, but as a friend. I love Edward as if he was my life, No, he is my l

ove. He is my life, my soul mate, my fiancé, Jake please understand that.” I said very calmly so he wouldn’t get upset.

“But-” he began.

“But nothing,” I cut him off, “cant you just be happy for me.” I looked him in the eye. His eyes looked saddened, but

understanding.

“Alright bells, but that doesn’t mean I give up.” I smiled, but rolled my eyes at the last part of his statement.

“So, Jake how are things at the reservation?” I asked trying to change the subject.

“Well,” He began, taking a moment to think, “There’s not much of anything going on. 2 more have joined the pack but that’s

about it.” I raised an eyebrow.

“Really? Who?”

“Well, Reda and Gem.” I smiled and remembered how I thought about naming one of my children that. It seemed to fit her

perfectly, wolf counsel, “were expecting one more. Ruby, I’ve never met her though. She is an old friend of Sam’s, and

moved when she was four she had just moved back when she ran up the fever.”

“Oh, that is very interesting.” I said while nodding my head.

“Well, Bells, Your friend, um Alice seems to be getting very impatient. She’s mumbling to herself about how you could have

been shopping instead of talking to me.” I rolled my eyes.
