TW: Discusses some topics that may be triggering for people with ED
Jacob sat talking to Carlisle the entire family huddled close to listen to what the wolf had to say. "Sam lost the element of surprise, and he doesn't want to take you on the outnumbered," Jacob explains, "He's not going to come at you head-on, he's got the place surrounded, and he'll wait for his opportunity," Jacob explained, I look up at Jasper who looked harsh, his eyes black and glaring at the wolf.
"He won't get through without a fight," Emmett speaks up crossing his arms, his eyes also a dark shade of black.
"No fights," Carlisle says, "We won't be the ones to break the treaty," Carlisle says ever the noble.
"The treaty is void," Jacob pipes up, "At least in Sam's mind," He adds
"Not in ours," Esme tells him gently
"Carlisle, no ones hunted for weeks," Emmett says I look at Edward knowing we were the only two with gold eyes at the moment. I frown worrying about Jasper.
"We'll make do," Esme says all of us turn to look at her our worry evident.
"You've done us a great service, Jacob, thank you," Carlisle nods at him and his face holds a level of surprise at Carlisle's kindness. Jacob kind of nods. I sigh knowing the tension wasn't going away any time soon.

Minutes turned into hours, and hours turned into days. Everyone was on high alert for the wolves and Bella was losing more and more weight by the minute. You could see her cheeks bones sticking out and above her bump the outline of her ribs and her spine coming out of her back like spikes. Food wouldn't stay down long enough for her to get any nourishment and she really couldn't keep her eyes open even though she looked like she hadn't slept in months. Everyone's eyes seemed to also get darker, my eyes that were once a bright shade of gold was slowly darkening. Not like Jasper's but darker to show that I was getting hungry. Edward had spent hours in the library away from Bella trying to research more about this child, still not accepting the fact that this could be his last chance to show her how much he loved her. Bella was getting another x-ray to see the damage that had been caused by the baby's movement. I didn't listen until I heard Edward raise his voice. I frown heading toward the room as he left.
I glared at him, Bella's pregnancy was hard on them both. But isolating her, treating her as if she chose to leave him, it wasn't fair. Bella's hands clutched her shirt over her belly, the sadness evident. I don't think she had it in her to cry but her eyes were clouded with tears. "What did Carlisle say?" I ask Bella
"He cracked a rib," She says wiping her eyes free of the tears "No splinters though," I nod I can see it in her eyes she didn't want to talk about the conversation that had occurred between them so I didn't bring it up.
