Summary:
Jacob stopped by his house where his father explained that he understood if Jacob needed a break, based on the recent news around the pack. Billy asked Jacob to just not stay away as long as he did last time. With an understanding of what Jake is really going to do, Billy asked Jacob to leave Bella and the Cullens alone.
Ignoring him, Jacob hoped on his motorcycle and headed to the Cullen house intent on killing Edward and possibly the rest of the coven. Carlisle met him at the door to try to get him to leave, but Bella’s voice called him inside. Obeying her, Jacob entered the house to find the entire Cullen family gathered around her on the couch.
Even though Edward looked very upset and angry, Jacob could tell from her scent that Bella was still human. Even still, she didn’t look healthy. It confused Jacob to see Rosalie protecting her and Edward so upset that Bella had to comfort him. Jacob pressed for answers, and Bella stood up to reveal that she was very pregnant.
The sight made Jacob sick to his stomach, and before he could attack Edward for what he had done to Bella, Edward demanded that Jacob follow him outside. Edward confirmed that the thing inside of Bella was killing her and that he felt guilty for it. Jacob understood that Bella won’t let them abort the baby, and Edward explained that Rosalie is acting as her bodyguard to make sure they don’t.
Jacob is further stunned when Edward suggested that Jacob be the one to give Bella what she wants in the form of a baby. He explained how he wanted Jacob to help him convince Bella to abort the baby so that she can eventually become pregnant with Jacob’s baby. Even though he was slightly intrigued by the idea, he knew that Bella would never go for it.
They made a deal that Jacob will at least try to convince Bella to go along with this plan. However, in the likely event that she wants to keep the baby and end up dying from it, Edward agreed to allow Jacob to kill him.
