My eyes widned in suprise at what he had just said. "What? You want me and Jacob two wolves to raise your child?" I asked making sure I had all my facts straight.

"I knew this would come as a shock to you. You may even think I'm a terrible father but...... I just can't. I can't raise this child without her. I would just end up resenting him or her. That isn't right for anyone." He admitted to me.

I guess he did have a point. What kind of life would that be for this baby? A very miserable one. Wondering each day why your dad hates you so much. I couldn't let anyone go through that.

"Alright. Me and Jake will raise this child.  But you have to send birthday cards every year. It'll be a yearly tradition." I insisted. Edward sighed and nodded. "Fair enough."

I walked back into the house to look for Jacob and Ephraim. My nerves were gone. I had none left at this point. All of this was crashing down on me like rough waves at high tide.

I heard Jacob's voice from one of the Cullens spare bedrooms. One that has a bed and wasn't just a room. I walked into the room to see Jacob with Ephraim on his chest.

"Look squirt. There's mama." He cooed. Ephraim's little eyes light up when he saw me. I giggled and gently picked him up. "Hi snookums. I'm sorry I was gone so long." I cooed kissing his little nose

He cooed and cuddled into my chest. I smiled and sit on the bed beside Jake. I ruffled softly the little patch of hair he had. "He'll have a full head of hair by the time he's a year old." I said.

Jacob chuckled. "Yeah. I wonder if he'll be shaggy like me." This made me giggled. "Your not shaggy. Any more." I joked. He rolled his eyes playfully at me. I stick my tounge out at him as a response.

But then I knew we had to get serious. I put my tounge back in my mouth and sighed. "Soon we may have another baby to take care of. Are we up for that?" I asked him wanting to know what his take on all this was.

He looked at me with soft eyes. "I think we are. At first I was against this whole thing but now I'm beginning to realize..... Maybe this isn't a bad thing. If Bella doesn't make it.... We will always have a piece of her." He said.

"Well I would rather this child grow up being loved. Not saying Edward wouldn't be a great father. But a part of him would resent this baby. I never want any child to go through that." I said slightly tearing up as I remembered the way my grandmother used to treat my mother

Jake nuzzles me. "This baby will be loved no matter what happens. I promise you that baby." He pressed a kiss to my cheek. I smiled at him.

Ephraim gave him this look. A look that said 'Why are you kissing my mommy?' Jacob chuckled. "Don't be jealous little man. She was mine before she was yours."

I playfully hit his shoulder. "Don't be mean to my baby." I said as I playfully growled at him. He put his hands up in defeat. "Alright alright." He said knowing he was beat.

I smirked triumphantly. We were brought out of our moment when there was a slight knock on the door. "Come in." Jacob said.

Emmett cracked the door open ever so slightly. "Hey Esme cooked you guys dinner if your hungry." He said. A loud growl came from my stomach. Come to think of it I havent eaten anything today.

"We'll be right down." I assured him. He chuckles and nodded. I gently adjusted Ephraim in my arms as I get off of her.

"Babe do you want me to grab his bottle and formula?" Jake asked as I went to the door. I nodded to him. "Yes please sir. Are you hungry too baby?" I cooed at my son.

My response as always was a tiny little coo and a tiny little belly rumble. Without hesitation we hurried downstairs for dinner.

After dinner I gave Ephraim a good bath. It was the cutest thing to watch his little mouth make a little o shape as the warm water went over him. Luckily Jake got it in video.

"I can put him to bed if you want. I know both of you must be exhausted." Esme said in her usual sweet motherly tone.

"Sure. That would be good thank you." I said as I gently placed Ephraim in her arms. His eyes grew heavy with sleep like mine were. I kissed his forhead and then Esme's cheek.

"Good night dear." She said to me. "Good night." I said almost slipping up and calling her mom. I looked at them one last time before making my way back down the hall to mine and Jake's temporary bedroom.

He was already passed out by the time I got into the room. I smiled down at him as I got into bed. I felt him wrap his arm around me tightly.

I laid there staring up at the ceiling for the longest time. I was so unsure of what my future held. So unsure of the next few days. Of the next few years.

Just... So.... Unsure
