Heart of Stone

Seven

"Jacob Black is here" Edward informs us, somehow the wolf still seems to want that human even though he has been warned in so many ways to leave her alone. Carlisle leaves to go greet him, I stay by Tory's side since Demetri and Rhaenys are out getting us some blood bags along with some human organs. Tory has been craving human liver and hearts lately and we can't exactly go and steal any from hospitals-stupid laws or whatever ethics, so Demetri and Rhaenyra are hunting, draining, mutilating then disposing of the bodies.

"Ugh" Tory scowls "at this point someone get me a knife"

I hold my mate to me, rubbing her back as I lean down to whisper "stress isn't good for the little one"

"Is it true?" We hear Jacob demands in a loud voice stirring the human when she was sleeping and being bearable. Ugh, that stench-can't these wolves learn how to bathe?

"Hello Jacob" Carlisle speaks "how are you?"

"Listen" he stated, waking the human up "just give it to me straight"

"Jake?" The human calls out looking around "is that you?"

"She's here?" He demands

"They came home" Carlisle speaks "two weeks ago" we hear stomping "Jake!" That kid doesn't know manners, when he comes up here he looks around and sees Tory and me. Scowling, we growl at him and I have to hold Tory back from eating him since her teeth are out "Leave them alone" Carlisle advises "they have agreed not to hunt in the area"

The boy looks away to where Rosalie is standing before Bella, ready to attack if necessary. The human managed to get Rosalie and Esme on her side since they don't believe the child is a full immortal child, Emmett backs up Rosalie since they are mates. Edward, Jasper and Alice want it gone while Carlisle is staying in the middle not getting involved.

"I'm glad you came" Bella speaks, Demetri and Rhaenyra have just arrived with the coolers of hearts, livers and blood. They also have grocery bags, still trying to get the human to eat and also some of it is for Tory and Rhaenyra.

"What do you have there?" Jacob demands

"None of your fucking business" Rhaenyra snaps at him growling, her teeth come out and he growls at her.

"Don't" Carlisle gets between them "I will not have violence in my home" looking to Demetri and Rhaenyra "put the coolers in the kitchen and what you have in the fridge" they nod their heads and leave, the only thing the Cullens know is that Tory is PMSing so she craves this stuff while the blood is for us.

The boy walks close when he sees Bella, but is stopped by Rosalie "close enough"

"What's your problem?" He demands

"Rose" Bella calls out "it's okay"

But the vampire isn't too happy as the wolf goes closer, sitting in the coffee table we can all see his relieved face when he sees the human still human. But the blanket she has is covering her pregnant belly, which by the rate that baby is growing is making her about six to seven months pregnant. "You look terrible" like I said, the human doesn't look like it has any nutrition in weeks but it looks like months. Soon an IV has to be set up for her.

"Yeah" she mutters "it's nice to see you too"

"So, are you going to tell me what's wrong with you?" He asks

"Rose? You want to help me up?" Alice and her use to be close until the baby, now it's the human and Rosalie making Alice angry. She pulls back the blankets that shows her pregnant belly which has bruises from the baby's kicks.

The mutt stands as Rose helps her up, she pulls down her shirt and looks at Jacob. The mutt looks at Edward with hatred and fury, stomping over "you did this!" Demetri and Rhaenyra come in just as Emmett stops the mutt from attacking.

Demetri keeps Rhaenyra being him protectively not wanting her to get hurt but the wolf, just like me. "We didn't know it was even possible"

Shrugging Emmett off, he demands "well what is it?"

"I'm not sure, ultrasounds and needles won't penetrate the embryonic sac" Carlisle shakes his head, the human sits down when she realizes that her mutt lover won't help her.

"I can't see it either" Alice makes things worse "and I can no longer see Bella's future"

"We've been researching legends" they have, we haven't. We are merely watching as spectators only getting involved when we need to "but there isn't much to go on, what we do know is that it's strong and fast growing"

Jacob screams "why haven't you done anything? Take it out of her!" Looking at Tory, I growl warningly "what about you? Don't you have some say in things like this?"

"This isn't like if a cold one female were to have a baby" Tory calmly speaks drinking from her coffee cup that is filled with blood "so until we know more, we will be watching and seeing what happens"

"So your of no fucking help" he growls, then Rhaenyra goes to attack but Demetri grabs her.

"Let me go, dad!" Rhaenyra snarls "this son of a birch has been given too many chances, he needs to die"

"One day" Demetri strokes her hair "one day, come on. Let's get you some blood" they leave then, but not before Rhaenyra makes a throat slicing motion.

"This is none of your business dog" Rosalie snaps

"Rose!" Esme scolds "all this fighting isn't good for Bella"

"The fetus" Alice yells "isn't good for Bella"

"Say the word Alice" Rose taunts "a baby, it's just a little baby!"

"Carlisle" Jacob begs, close to tears "you've got to do something"

"No" Bella snaps "it's not his decision, it's not any of yours"

"Jacob" Edward leaves "I need to talk to you" they leave then.

Tory stands and I look at her "just going to make myself a smoothie" she takes my hand "at this point, I can't do anything alone"

"I'm not risking it" especially in a house where the Cullens have finally been drinking human blood, have been wearing brown contacts. But with this? They are all hungry, I don't care what Tory thinks. She and our little bundle growing inside of her are my world, I'm not about to let anything bad happen to either of them.
