Author’s Notes: I had only originally intended this to be a short story but once again I got carried away. Still a few chapters yet to come before we finish this. And by the way this is where I change the plot from the books completely.

Part Thirteen

Edward POV

Bella had been gone a long time. It hurt that she was with him, but I guess I only had myself to blame since it was my plan. I should have never come back. Left her to her long and happy life with Jacob.

Bella POV

Jacob and I sat in his garage. He was fiddling with the bikes seeing it he could make them faster. I knew that he didn’t intend for me to be going faster on the bikes but I guess it was a guy thing to have to fiddle with things.

“Can you pass me the 10mm please, Bella?” he asked. I leant forward to pick it up and passed it to him.

“Hey do you want a drink?” I asked him. He grinned up at me.

“Sure,sure. Moutain Dew in the fridge.” He replied. “Thanks.” I got up and went back to the house. I grabbed the drinks from the fridge and smiled as a passed Billy in the living room.

I stopped for a moment lost in thought. Maybe this was the best choice after all. Jake didn’t seem to feel the need to protect me so much. He just was happy to have fun and spend time with me. La Push was like a second home. Maybe I loved Edward so much because he was my first love. No. That wasn’t it. I truly did love Edward, but everything with Edward was so hard. Jacob was easy. Jacob was a friend, a lover...I could picture a future with him. My future with Edward wouldn’t be a future. It would be the present...forever. Edward was so perfect and I constantly felt inadequate, at the same time Edward and I felt like a dream. Jacob was real. The love I had for Jacob had snuck up on me. Edward I loved from the moment I saw him.

What would happen if I just...stayed here? Would I marry Jacob and have children with him? Have our own house in La Push? Then a sudden thought smashed my daydreams. What if Jacob imprinted? I would be left alone. He wouldn’t be able to help it.

“Bella, why don’t you come and sit with me for a moment?” Billy asked. I turned to see him in the doorway staring at me. I nodded and followed him into the living room. “Jake won’t miss you for a moment. What’s on your mind?” I hesitated for a moment before speaking.

“A lot of things.” I replied, unsure what to say and what not to. “I know you’re biased on this so I’ll leave out most of the details about Edward. I was just thinking...if I chose Jake...how long would we have a happy future? I mean before he imprints.”

“Is that all?” he asked, chuckling. “Here I thought the world was coming to an end.” I looked up at him chuckling to himself.

“What’s so funny?” I asked. “Are you going to fill me in?”

“Sure, sure.” He replied. “Jake never told you did he? I wondered if he would or not.” Billy stopped laughing and looked at me more seriously, but in a caring kind of way. “Bella, tell me. Why do you think Jake has stuck around all this time? When you made it clear he was only a friend? He wouldn’t stop trying. When you were with someone else? When he picked up the pieces when he left? And now knowing you still might not chose him and that he might lose you forever? Why do you think I would still be here putting himself through it?” Realisation ran through me as if someone had just chucked a bucket of freezing cold water on me. “He already did Bella. He imprinted on you.”

I barely heard his last words. I was up and out the door. Poor Jacob didn’t know what hit him when I came running in and practically jumped on him. I threw my arms around him as tight as I could, knocking us both to the floor. He let me hug him for a while before pulling my head away from his chest to look at him.

“Not that I mind you throwing yourself at me, I’m getting the feeling I’ve missed something.” He said. “What’s going on?”

Jacob POV

Bella had literally ploughed me over in surprise as she jumped on me. I looked up at her waiting for her answer. She looked ecstatic. I hoped that it wasn’t anything to do with her and Edward. All sorts of horrible images of them made themselves known in my mind.

“I’m staying here with you.” She said, I could see even her eyes were sparkling with happiness. “I’m stay in La Push with you, Jacob.” Obviously thinking I hadn’t understood. She was staying here. She was choosing me. I knew this was Edward’s plan but it still took me by surprise. It hadn’t expected it to be this easy. What surprised me most was how happy she was. I don’t think I have seen her that excited since we were children.

I realised she was waiting for me to say something but I couldn’t think of anything to say. I just pushed us both up to a sitting position and crushed her lips under my own, letting her feel every bit of love and passion I had for her. I pulled away slowly, one thought remained a darkening cloud over my happiness.

“Have you changed your mind?” he asked. “About being one of them?” Bella looked down at the ground, a pink blush covering her cheeks. It made me insanely curious about what she was going to say.

“What I said about you being a dad Jacob...” she started. “I was thinking about Sam having a family and then I thought about you. I was thinking that you would be a good leader. Then I started wondering if you would do the same...lead the pack until you had a family of your own. That’s when I realised that there are some things about being human that I didn’t want to give up.”

“You want a baby?” I asked. If that’s what it took to keep her human I would get her pregnant now. As if she read my thoughts, she smacked my arm lightly.

“Not now!” she replied. “I just meant that even though I told Edward I didn’t mind not having children...I had never really thought about it...and I do want children one day...I want a future not to live forever just as I am.”

“You have no idea how happy I am to hear you say that.” I said, grinning like the cat that got the cream. “So that was all it took to change your mind? Make you a little broody?” I chuckled knowing she would be annoyed.
“Jacob Black you know that’s not what I meant at all!” she chided. “I tell you I want to stay here with you forever, marry you and have kids with you and you make fun of me? Maybe I shouldn’t stay after all...you obviously aren’t as happy as I am about it...” I saw the sly look in her eyes as she teased me back but I was too busy replaying her words in my head. I kissed her passionately for as long as I could before I needed to stop for breath.

“I love you, Bella.” I said. Suddenly her face turned to one of horror. “What is it?”

“What am I going to tell Charlie?” she asked. I burst out laughing.

“Sure, sure. An army of vampires is coming after you and you’re worried about telling Charlie you want to stay at La Push.” I said, rolling my eyes. Unfortunately my joke brought us back to reality. There was still the very big issue of Victoria and an army of bloodsuckers to deal with. If something happened to one of us now...

Bella POV

Jacob and I headed to the clearing in the dark. The rest of the pack were with us and I could see Edward and the others waiting for us. I saw Edward’s face stiffen when he saw Jacob and I. I knew straight away he knew my choice. I felt a twinge of guilt.

I saw and watched as Jasper filled everyone in on fighting techniques against newborn vampires. Then Edward filled everyone in on the plan.

I was to run around the clearing, roll around on the floor, maybe even accidently on purpose cut myself. Leave my scent all over the clearing and then Jacob would carry me away to disguise my scent. He would take me somewhere to hide with Seth and they would guard me just in case. The rest would hide in groups around the clearing. I felt awful that they were all still fighting for me. Edward knew my choice and yet he was still fighting for me. His whole family fighting for me. I told him I was sorry. He reassured me that it was in his families best interests to wipe out the newborns before the Voltri decided to come and do it. It only made me feel a tiny bit better.

Edward POV

My plan of pushing Bella into Jacob arms worked better than expected. I had hoped deep down she wouldn’t have been swayed so easily. I would have to make it up to her when this whole thing was over. Although I was now worried she might not have to choose once she knew the truth. Maybe Jacob was her choice.

I watched Bella running and rolling around the clearing. She scraped her wrist against a rock to draw a tiny bit of blood. Even that tiny bit would send the newborns into a frenzy. I frowned slightly. I hoped they wouldn’t find her.

“Hide her well.” I said to Jacob, as he came to pick Bella up. She blushed slightly when he did. Jacob nodded.

‘I’ll keep her safe.’ I knew he wasn’t lying. I had seen in his head Bella jumping on him full of happiness. It only made my fears that she wouldn’t even consider choosing me after the fight worse.

Author’s Notes: I hope you’re enjoying this! Once the fight is over Edward intends on fighting for Bella again...but is it too late? Will Bella break Jacob’s heart and decide that she really does love Edward too much to lose him?
