As Bella pulled her sleeve down, she groaned softly. Her condition is worsening even more; she's so deathly pale it's insane and she's lost so much weight. I leaned against Emmett as his arm wrapped around my waist.

"Are you cold?" Edward asked. She nodded slightly.

"I got it." Jacob scooted closer, his body heat radiating off him onto Bella. My sister let out a content sigh as she smiled. "Don't do that," Jacob said.

"What?" Bella asked weakly.

"Smile like I'm your favorite person in the world."

"You're one of them," Bella mumbled. "It feels complete when you're here, Jake."

Edward's face said he didn't like hearing that, but he kept it to himself.

She groaned, before shifting to sit up; probably about to throw up again. When nothing happened, Bella let out a breath.

"We need to find a way to get some food into her system," Esme stated as Bella laid back down.

"I can only see the fetus," Alice commented. Rosalie corrected her...again. "Maybe I could figure out what it wants."

Everyone was silent for a moment before Edward spoke. "You might be right. Jacob just had an idea."

The boy let out a breathy laugh. "It wasn't an idea; it was a snide comment."

"What were you thinking?" Carlisle asked, curiously.

"That it's probably just looking for someone to sink its teeth into," Jacob answered, a small smirk on his lips.

Everyone was silent. I watched as Bella looked at Edward. "He's thirsty."

"I know the feeling," Ray commented.

"If it's craving, it's not gonna want animal blood," Edward stated.

"I'll have some O Negative laid aside for Bella." Carlisle walked out of the room.

"Walk with me," Alice said to Jasper, grabbing his hands and leading him out of the room.

"Let's go," Emmett whispered into my ear as he stood up. I followed him out of the room, hand in hand.

We went outside, where the smell of blood wouldn't be as strong. Seeing as we haven't eaten for weeks, the smell of the blood would probably send us into some sort of frenzy.

We had decided to go home for the night. Emmett and I got into his Jeep before driving home.

A few days later, Emmett and I went back to the Cullens. Carlisle and Esme planned to go hunting, taking Emmett and Ray with them, seeing as they're the strongest out of all of us. As Jacob distracted the wolves, the Cullens would hunt.

I sat with Bella, Alice, and Rosalie as Esme, Carlisle, and Emmett hunted. Edward met Jacob, who walked up the stairs, at the end of the hall.

Bella smiled as Alice and Rosalie helped her stand. "Hey," she said to the boy. "You ok?"

"Yeah, it's not like I'm the one carrying a demon," Jacob attempted to joke.

"This is pretty important Bella," Rosalie commented. "Why don't you tell Jacob what you've decided."

His face fell slightly as he glanced behind him to Edward before looking back at Bella. "What? What now?" He asked worried.
