... With New Battles

Chapter 9: Back To Normal...

Edward and Jacob's POV

Jacob waited for about an hour before he gave Edward his puppy dog eyes, wiggling his eyebrows. Edward released a big fake sigh before lifting Jacob up and continuing their trek home.

J: I feel like Cinderella. (He joked)

E: No one ever carried Cinderella anywhere, Jake.

J: You'd know that because you were around for the first production right?

E: Again with the age jokes, huh?

J: Couldn't help it. (He laughed)

E: Continue laughing and I will drag you home.

J: You wouldn't dare. Rosalie would kill you, in fact everyone at home would kill you because they do like me better.

E: You turned them all against me.

J: Wasn't that hard because they have all met you, you know.

E: Shut up, please.

J: Aww. (He said giving Edward a kiss on his jaw)

...

The two of them walked in relative silence only talking when necessary until they finally reached Forks. Jacob told Edward that he'd be fine to walk the rest of the way home, so they walked hand in hand back to the Cullen residence.

-Cullen Residence-

The guys arrived at the house about half an hour after they got to Forks.

E: Wait. (He said when Jacob started walking to the door)

J: Yeah? (He asked walking back to Edward)

E: I never thanked you.

J: For what?

E: For what you did there, for volunteering your life in exchange for Carly's life.

J: It was all part of the plan that we all worked out.

E: I know but I want to thank you nonetheless.

J: Oh big word.

E: Now that I know that you can understand them.

J: Oh shut up and I appreciate it, it was a pleasure serving you master.

E: Jacob. (He sighed exasperatedly)

J: Okay, growing up. I would do anything if it meant keeping my family, my pack safe and you, Carly and the rest of the Cullen's are members of both my family and pack. I always put my family before me and if there was even a slight chance that I wouldn't be coming home today, I still would have done it as long as Carly got away.

E: You are a wonderful man Jacob and I am glad that you are in our lives.

J: So am I and you are just as wonderful, baby. (He laughed at the end)

E: Oh no, no no! I am much too old to be called that, never again please, unless you want to traumatize me.

J: Will this traumatize you too. (He said walking closer and giving Edward a kiss)

E: No, especially if it goes on for longer.

J: You know what they say, your wish is my command. (He said leaning forward to give Edward a kiss, this time longer than the first)

He held on to Edward's face with both his hands while Edward held on tightly to Jacob's waist pulling him closer than humanly possible. They were so engrossed in their kiss and one another that they didn't hear the front door opening.
