If Cinderella's dream came true, then nightmares could come true too. Her power was not normal nor did it make much sense. Where Alice Cullen was the future, Beatrice Hale was...

Jacob came back later after leaving Sam's pack. They knew that Bella was pregnant with Edward's baby because of their mind-link. Seth and Leah joined Jacob. He denied it, but deep down, he was their new alpha.
"We need to find a way to get some food into her system," Esme said.
"If I could only see the fetus - "
"The baby," Rosalie corrected.
"Maybe I could figure out what it wants," Alice said, defeated.
Edward looked at Jacob with scrutinizing eyes. "Think you might be right. Jacob just had an idea," he announced.
Jacob scoffed. "It wasn't an idea. It was a snide comment."
"What were you thinking?" Bella curiously asked.
"That it's probably just looking for someone to sink its teeth into."
Beatrice rolled her eyes, biting back a snide comment that would hurt his fragile ego.
Bella looked up. "He's thirsty."
Edward nodded. "I know the feeling. If it's craving, it's not gonna want animal blood."
"I have some O negative laid aside for Bella. Walk with me," Carlisle said, pouring blood into a cup for Bella to drink.
"Wait, wait, wait. You're gonna make her drink that?" Jacob asked defensively.
"It's the fastest way to test the theory," Carlisle stated.
"Only if you're comfortable with it," Edward reassured Bella.
Bella nodded. "I'll try anything."
Jacob gulped. "I think I'm gonna be sick."
"Then be sick and don't complain about it," Beatrice retorted.
Jacob glared at her, trying to hold down whatever bile that was threatening to rise up. Everyone watched Bella drink the blood. She gulped and let out a satisfied sigh.
"Tastes...good."
Edward smiled at her as she drank more of the blood.
Carlisle checked her pulse. "Your pulse is already getting stronger."
"It's working," Esme whispered.
After talking on the phone with her father, Bella and Edward shared a sweet moment with each other before the more serious topic came into view.
"So, that's the last of it?" Jacob asked, referring to the bags of blood for Bella.
"Bella could deliver as early as tomorrow. If she's going to have any chance at all, she'll need more blood," Carlisle stated.
"And you need to feed," Esme said, referring to their adopted children. "You have to be at your strongest for her. We need to go tonight."
Jacob sighed. "Carlisle, you're the enemy now. Sam won't hesitate. You will be slaughtered."
"Emmett will come with us," Esme decided.
Jacob shook his head. "That won't be enough."
Carlisle shook his head too. "We have no choice, Jacob. If there's anything we can do to save her, we have to try."
Jacob's facial expression morphed into shock. "You'd risk your lives for her?"
Esme looked appalled. "Of course we would. Bella's a part of our family now."
Jacob nodded solemnly. "Yeah, I can see that. This really is a family. As strong as the one I was born into. I know what I have to do."
"Just because you think we're monsters, doesn't actually mean we are. Sam is the one that wants to kill the baby," Beatrice said. "That man used to be your alpha - the man you honored to follow until he died."
Jacob scowled at her but agreed with her deep down. And so, as Jacob distracted Sam's pack, half of the Cullens rushed out of their house to get animal blood for themselves.
