Bella's POV

Jacob kissed me softly, saying, "Baby, I missed you."

I smiled. "So did I. Patrols for you seem so long. Jay and I missed you."

"Dad!" Seven year old Jay shouted, jumping into his father's arms.

"How did you behave today?" Jake asked him, as usual.

"Good, but today was boring without you." He frowned.

"I'm sorry, but I just have work. Plus, you could a!ways ask your mother to leave you with your friends. You guys could have some fun." Jake offered.

"I guess." Jay shrugged. "I'm going to go to sleep now."

"Goodnight!" We called after him, laughing.

Life for me changed drastically. I started off a bit depressed and full of sadness until Jacob helped me. I went through the HELL they call "high school" in which I nearly DIED in! (By the way, Jessica and Lauren were punished. It turns out that Lauren told Jessica that I tried to steal her boyfriend. I didn't even know she had one! But then again, I kept to myself a LOT!) Charlie loved Jay. A lot. I always used to think that if I ever got pregnant in high school, my dad would kill me (or at least Jacob). I also hung out more with Angela, who gave me updates after we became better friends. She was also glad when we got married and Jay was born.

"Oh my god, Bella." Angela once told me. "Jessica is SO jealous of you. You look so beautiful these days. Has anyone told you that? Honestly, you don't look too different. Doesn't pregnancy supposedly 'ruin your body'? You look way different than you did in high school."

I rolled my eyes. "Thanks, Angela."

"Not like that Bella!" Angela laughed. "I miss these times. I'm sorry for not being there for you in school. It was just...difficult. I cared a lot about what people thought of me back then. Its sounds SO stupid to me now."

Edward has seemed to move on from me better, which made me glad. Alice tells me that he hasn't found his mate yet, but he will soon. I was glad about that because I didn't want him to keep liking me when I didn't feel the same way. Especially when I was married with Jacob and had a son. I loved them both so much. They are my world!

Its funny when you are all grown up and you look back at yourself, thinking things like, "Damn, why would you do that? You seriously regretted that!" But at the end of the day, we all make mistakes. Sometimes life changing ones and other times, small, meaningless ones. Its just important to be able to move on. That's the secret to it all.

Anyway, back to Jacob, he cared about me so much. I wondered why I didn't like him in this way before. I guess that sometimes you fall for the people that you never thought you would fall for. Its kind of weird how this live thing works, but in the end of it all, I loved Jacob. Him and our son were my LIFE.

In the end of all this, everything turned out okay. I'm happy now. Everyone is. Even though I haven't seen Renée recently, I'm sure she's okay. I'm sure she's doing well, like the rest of us are.

"Are you okay?" Jake asked me, sitting down beside me.

"Yeah, I am just thinking about how far things went with us." I said.

"I'm glad about it." Jake said and I agreed. "I love you so much."

"I love you too, Jake. I always will." I promised honestly.

Jake laughed. "You don't need to promise me that. I love you more anyway."

"Are you sure about that?" I asked.

"Yes." He kissed me. "I'm completely sure. I love you so much and I want to help you the best I can. I know I've messed up before, but I will try my best to always be here for you. I want to protect you from everything that can harm you. I want to protect you."

"You already have." I smiled. "I love you and Jay. I always will stay with you. No matter what obstacles are in the way for us, we will get through it together. You helped me during the toughest times in my life. You've protected me. I will always remember that. Forever."

"Forever." Jake promised, kissing the mark on my neck. "I will love and protect you forever."
