Beauty And The Beast

Split Pack

Jacob walked back into the house, everyone having left Bella except for Stiles and Rosalie.

Rose looked at Bella with a silent question and she nodded, before turning back to Stiles,"I'll be okay for a while."

Stiles hesitated a moment, looking between Jacob and Bella before leaving with Rosalie.

"Do you need to sleep?" Rosalie asked Stiles.

Stiles shook his head, ever since Bella started showing signs of pain, he hadn't slept for almost three days, taking her pain non-stop. Even before he didn't need as much sleep as he used to when he was human.

"I don't think I need sleep anymore," Stiles replied, not feeling the slightest bit yearning for sleep, only exhausted from taking Bella's pain for so long.

They both go silent as they start to listen to Jacob and Bella talk.

"So, Edward sent you in here to talk to me?"

"Sort of. Though I can't figure out why he thinks you'd listen to me. I mean, you never have before."

They both laugh.

"Since when are you and blondie BFFs?" Jacob asked, making Rosalie roll her eyes.

"Rose understands what I want."

"What are you thinking, Bella? Seriously?"

"I know this seems like a scary thing, but it's not. It's like this miracle or something. I can feel him."

"So, it's a bouncing baby boy. I'm sorry I didn't know. Should've brought some blue balloons."

"It's just a guess. When I picture him, I see a boy. We'll see."

"You won't."

"Jake, I can do this. I'm strong enough."

"Come on. You can spout that crap to your bloodsucker, but you don't fool me. I can see what that thing's doing to you. It's a killer, Bella."

"You're wrong."

"And when you die, what was the point? Of me loving you, you loving him. How is that right for anyone? Because I sure don't see it. Listen to me, Bella. Please. Just don't do this. Live, okay? Please."

"Jake, everything's gonna be okay."

They hear Jacob get up to leave.

"Jacob, don't go."

"I know how this ends. And I'm not sticking around to watch."

Jacob stormed out, Stiles and Rosalie look out the window as he threw his bike in a rage, and phased, running off.

Stiles went back to the living room where Bella was and took her pain as she silently cried until she fell asleep.

"She's asleep," Stiles told Rosalie in a whisper but she could hear it from where she stood on the opposite side of the room.

"Have you ever wanted kids?" Rosalie asked in an equally quiet voice.

Stiles thought for a moment, then nodded,"Yeah, back before any of this happened," He said, looking pointedly at his hand holding Bella's as black veins trailed up his arm,"But now...I don't know what'll happen to them with my gene's. Will they be a shapeshifter like me? Or a werewolf. I don't know."

Rosalie nodded,"If they ended up being like you...You would be there to teach them."

"Yeah," Stiles said,"Ultimate survivor and all that. But what if they're also half vampire?"

Rosalie's eyes widened when she realized what he meant,"I still don't know if I can have kids."

"But you're still in your transition, right?" Stiles asked,"Who knows, maybe once you're completely half human you can."
