Sometimes Knowing Hurts

True Alpha

(ANNA POV)

I was looking out the window when I saw Jake pull up in the driveway and rush towards the door. Carlisle had gone to meet him.

"Is it true?" I hear Jake ask. Bella looks over to me as if asking if it was really him.

"Hello, Jacob, how are you?" Carlisle asks him.

"Listen, just give it to me straight," I hear Jake tell him. I nod at Bella letting her know it was him.

"Jake, is that you?" Bella asks as I walk over to her.

"She's here?" I hear Jake ask.

"They came home two weeks ago," Carlisle answers and I hear loud footsteps coming up the stairs. "Jake." Carlisle follows after him. Rosalie and I stand in front of Bella as we see Jake come up the stairs with Carlisle behind him. He looks around at all of us before looking at me questionably.

"I'm glad you came," Bella says as Jake starts walking forward.

"Close enough," Rose says as she steps forward making Jake stop. I move to standing beside Bella who is laying on the couch.

"What's your problem?" Jake asks Rosalie.

"Rose, it's okay," Bella tells her. Jake walks around Rose and sits on the table in front of Bella.

"You look terrible," Jake states.

"Yeah, it's nice to see you, too," Bella says.

"So, are you gonna tell me what's wrong with you?" Jake asks.

"Rose, Anna, you both wanna help me up?" Bella asks as she looks at us. Rose gets on one side and me on the other. Bella moves the blanket while Rose and I each grab a hand helping her stand up. Jake looks shocked and his thoughts are going crazy as he sees Bella's stomach that was showing because her shirt was up. Bella then pulls her shirt down over her stomach and gives Jake a small smile.

"You did this!" Jake says as he heads after Edward. Emmett stops him by putting a hand on his shoulder.

"We didn't know it was even possible," Carlisle says.

"What is it?" Jake asks as he knocks Emmett's hand off of his shoulder and turns towards Carlisle.

"I'm not sure. Ultrasounds and needles won't penetrate the embryonic sac," Carlisle explains as I help Bella sit back down.

"I can't see it, either. And I can't see Bella's future anymore," Alice adds.

"We've been researching legends, but there isn't much to go on. What we do know is that it's strong. And fast-growing," Carlisle further explains.

"Why haven't you done anything? Take it out of her!" Jake asks as he walks toward Carlisle.

"This is none of your business, dog," Rose says.

"Rose! All this fighting isn't good for Bella," Esme scolds.

"The fetus isn't good for Bella," Alice states.

"Say the word, Alice. 'Baby.' It's just a little baby," Rose says.

"Possibly," Jasper says as he stands closer to Alice.

"Carlisle, you've gotta do something," Jake says.

"No. It's not his decision. It's not any of yours," Bella says as I rub her shoulder in comfort.

"Jacob, I need to talk to you," Edward says as he walks out of the room and Jake follows. About five minutes later everyone leaves the room besides Rose, Bella and me. I'm now sitting beside Bella. Jake then walks back in and Rose stops him in the doorway. "Rose, I'm fine, really," Bella tells her. Rose then leaves the room.
