Happily ever after (conditions apply)

I arrived in Oregon, to meet Bella. I have received her response. She saw me and smiled. I shook my head. Nobody had joined me. Charlie and Susan had a rocky relationship thanks to what Bella had done. Seth supported his sister, but everyone has problems with her decision. I was the only one on her side. I walked into the Cullen house. No matter how many times they fumigated their house, nothing could remove the stench.

Bella told me that there were days when Leah refused to let even Carlisle near her because of the stench. I saw Leah lying on the sofa, exhausted. She sat up and smiled at me. "What took you so long? Bella told me that you were on our side," she stated. "It took me forever to convince everyone," I informed. I pulled out a letter. She opened it, to find a 'best of luck' greeting card. "Charlie, Mom and Seth signed this?" she asked. I nodded. I handed her another card. "The girls signed this one. Charlie picked out the other one," I replied.

"Is Mom mad?" she asked. "No. She is proud. Charlie was the one against it. He wanted to know why you made all the sacrifices. He didn't want you to go through this," I made known. "Can you really do it?" I enquired. "Can you really give us the baby in your womb? Especially since it's yours and mine?"

Her head shot up. "Bella and I almost separated over this issue. I hope you know that. I'm putting everything on the line, and so are you. Your mother almost had a heart attack, and Charlie had a breakdown. He's still depressed. Sam threw a fit! The Council is on your side. But nobody else is. Leah, are you mad? It was crazy enough that you agreed to be a surrogate, now you give me your ovum? I mean, it's not mine and Bella's. Its going to be like us. There was a 50 per cent chance that it wouldn't be like me. But this just beats the cake! Can you really say that you can give up something that you helped make?" I hissed.

She held her belly. "I can. Because I know that I'm giving it to you," she whispered. "That baby isn't mine and Bella's. It's yours too. How I am to know that one fine day, you wake up and decide you want him back? What will Bella do then? Do you want my wife to die again? This baby is the only thing that she's got! And since when did you become so magnanimous? You hated her!" I snapped.

"Of course I hated her. I probably still do. But I love you, Jake. You're my best friend. Who was the one whom you shared your memories with? I heard you cry over Bella's infertility and physical pain. Your wife was suicidal! She had no reason to live if it weren't for you. When you met her after her break up with that Cullen boy, she recovered. Do you think that her anger and depression will not push her to death again? When she met you after she broke up with Leech Boy, was she truly living? When she lost her kid, was she truly living even then? She lost her memories, or so the doctor says, as a result of shock. How do you that it's not a defense mechanism? She needs this baby, and so do you. Were you truly happy after the baby's death?" she retorted.

I sighed. "Leah, you need to start a family, sooner or later," I warned. She stared out the window. Bella and Rose were talking, and the others went hunting. "I already have a family Jake," she stated. "You need to expand yours. Besides, even if I can't give you a baby, or if I have a moment of weakness and run away with the baby, you have another option,"

I sneered at her. "And what is that?" I mocked. "Rachel. She's pregnant too. She's having this baby to give it to you, in case I do the dirty deed," she revealed. "WHAT? RACHEL IS WHAT? DID YOU, BELLA AND RACHEL PLAN ALL THIS?" I demanded. She shook her head. "Rachel and I planned this together. Rachel is more than willing to give you her baby. Besides, she loves you Jake. So do I and Bella. We both do. Don't worry, by the end of this year, there will be two children in your arms, both with your family name. Not mine, not Paul's," she responded. "Wow. I'm speechless. What about Paul? What did his parents say?" I whispered, desiring to pound my fist against the sofa.

"His parents were against it. But Billy convinced them that it was for the Alpha's heir," Leah replied. "Your wife doesn't know that Rachel got pregnant intentionally. Rachel told her that they don't want the baby and plan to give it you. Congratulations, you're going to have two kids. Just remember, Paul is the father to one of them,"

I stormed out of the room and called my sister. Paul picked up instead.

'Is what Leah saying, true? You got my sister pregnant so that you could give the baby to us? You actually went through with it? Are you mad?'

'Yes,'

'Why?'

'Because we love you, Jake. We want you to be happy,'

'Why are you being like this? Where is the obnoxious, annoying Paul that I know and loathe?'

'FOR GOD'S SAKE JAKE! YOU'RE MY BROTHER! WHY WOULDN'T I?' he demanded, stunning me. Rach and I made this decision together. If Leah fails to give birth, or if being around vampires does something to the baby, you have another child waiting for you. Rachel and I are prepared. Don't get killed or kill Edward before you become an uncle or a Dad. Make sure that he sees you happy with your wife and kids,'

'The vampire doctor, his wife and blonde daughter are on Bella's side. I cannot imagine them letting the leech do something. Shockingly,'

'You're kidding me,'

'Nope. When the time comes, I want you to bring the boys and fight Edward,'

'I will. By the way, Rachel is experiencing gastritis, so she can't make it to the phone. She wanted me to tell you that she if has a boy, she wants to name the child after your grandfather because she's having a boy. Your dad would want that anyway. If it's a girl, she wants to name it Eden, just like Bella wanted,'

'God I hope that it's not a girl,'

'So do I. I don't want another Leah. How is she, by the way?'

'Same as usual, just bitchier and scarier,'

Paul snickered. 'Is it too late to talk her out of it?'

'Yes. It's too late. Let's pray that Leah remains the one and only female in history to experience this lifestyle,'

I nodded. Let's hope so.
