《Sophie Swan: P.L》Chapter twenty seven:
Advertisement
Bella has been home for two weeks now. She called dad this morning to let him know that she will be extending her trip because she is "sick". I mean technically it is true, dad's worried about her I can tell, but I just have to be there for them both.
The pack asked what happened when I left and I simply made up an excuse. I don't really care if they believe it or not, but it's not like I can straight up tell them that Bella is pregnant with a child that could potentially be a danger to the town.
I was around the Cullen's house as Bella's condition has been getting worse. With Carlisle unable to penetrate the sac, there was no knowing how the baby is. Not even I was about to answer that question. So to distract her, we suggested that Bella come up with baby names.
Bella really did look like death herself, but she's putting on a smile for everyone. I know she's scared, we all are. We just have to wait and see.
We were all discussing names when we heard a motorbike. "I'll go get the door."
Carlisle walks off and I know that this isn't going to be good. "How do you think he'll react?"
"Hopefully well." Esme always looks for the positives.
"Listen just give it to me straight."
"Jake is that you?" Bella called out. I know she's missed her friend. So have I, but Jake's obsession with Bella is really tearing me apart. She's married now and with a baby, yet he still feels for her. It's sad.
Jake walks up the stairs and looks at all our faces. One word to describe our expressions. Solemn.

"You sure you can do this Bells?" I whisper to her, scared of how he'll react.
"Yeah. I'm glad you came." Jake walked forward slightly.
"Close enough." Rosalie has been protecting and looking after Bella ever since we found out. When Jake first entered the room, she stood protectively in front of Bella.
"What's your problem?"
"Rose, it's ok." Jake walked around Rosalie and sat down on the table in front of Bella and me.
"You look terrible."
"Yeah. It's nice to see you too."
"So are you gonna tell me what's wrong with you?"
"Rose, Sophie, you wanna help me up?"
I smiled at her weakly, as both Rosie and I help Bella stand. Her stomach has grown in the past two weeks. Bella appears as though she has only a couple of months left before the baby is due. Then again this isn't any normal pregnancy either.
Jake looks over to Edward. This isn't going to be good. "You did this!" Emmett stops Jake from pouncing on Edward.
"We didn't know it was even possible."
"What is it?"
"We're not entirely sure, however, the baby is some sort of vampire and human hybrid," I answer for Carlisle.
"Ultrasounds and needles won't penetrate the embryonic sac," Carlisle added.
I helped Bella sit back down on the couch.
"I can't see it either. And I can't see Bella's future anymore."
"We've been researching legends, but there isn't much to go on. What we do know is that it's strong and fast-growing."
"Why haven't you done anything? Take it out of her!"
"This is none of your business, dog."
"Rose! All this fighting isn't good for Bella."

"The foetus isn't good for Bella!"
"Say the word, Alice, 'baby'. It's just a little baby."
"Possibly."
"What? You think it's a demon? Either way, it's going to kill Bella." I look down at Bella's baby bump with a sad expression on my face. I guess Bella is going to get what she wished for all along.
"Sophie, you're not helping."
"Carlisle, you've gotta do something."
"No! It's not his decision. It's not any of yours."
"Jacob, I need to talk to you." Edward and Jacob walk outside, leaving the rest of us here.
"I better get going. I promised dad that I would help him with a little project. Call me if anything pops up." I say to everyone as I transport myself to the truck and drive away.
"Hey, Soph."
"Hey dad, didn't know you'd be waiting out here for me."
"I invited Sue round for dinner tonight. She said yes."
"That's great, but you can't cook."
"Sue said she would help me cook."
"Omg! You're going to have a cooking date aw!!!" I squeal up and down.
"Yes, okay, okay calm down. Which means you have to find somewhere to sleep tonight."
"Ugh, dad. You could've just not gone there."
"No that's not what I meant, dammit."
"Sure."
"Just go inside and help me clean the house before she gets here."
"That's the project you wanted me to help you with, cleaning?"
"Go!" He points to the front door and I huff.
"Fine. I better get a good amount worth of pocket money for this."
"Depends how well you clean."
"What are you two cooking anyway?"
"I'm not sure."
"Dad, she's cooking you dinner, yet you organised this date and you don't know what's on the menu. Come on."
"How about pizza? Then Sue and I can watch something and get to know each other."
"Well, I suppose that isn't that bad."
"See, I come up with good ideas."
"Whatever, let's just get this over and done with."

Candor: The Forgotten House
*** Please read note below *** As a 16-year-old mage from a powerful family, Jayce Candor had known from a young age what his future would hold. As the fourth son in his family the possibility of him becoming the heir to the household was very small. But, with his talent as a mage, his potential accomplishments in the military could lead to titles of nobility and political power. However, on what would otherwise be an unremarkable night, everything he had ever known, the only people he ever cared for, and all of the plans for his future were destroyed. House Candor, one of the six great houses that helped build the Eldoran Empire had been erased from history. By imperial decree, all those bearing the name Candor were hunted down and executed as traitors of the Empire. With no home, no family, and only death waiting for him, Jayce decided to escape north to the uncharted Northern Territories to begin a new life. Forced into situations he was never prepared for and trying to cope with his past, Jayce tries to find safety in a place spoken about only in legends. There for the first time, he will make true friends and find people he will come to see as family. He will encounter strong enemies, build powerful alliances, and become a person his ancestors would be proud of. But surrounded by creatures he thought only existed in tales and pressed by the Empire’s constant expansion, Jayce’s safety may be only an illusion. To survive a world fraught with danger Jayce will need to grow stronger with each new experience and rebuild his once forgotten house. ********************************************************************** Note: The story starts slow. Although there is more action as the story progresses, there is a fair amount of introspection and character introduction in the first 30 chapters. Jayce is the main character, however, other characters play a large role and the story is seen through multiple POV's. This is a draft, it is not a finished work. This is not a story that focuses on an OP MC who beats up on weaklings. At times there can be a fair amount of internal monologue. Some of that may be edited out when I rewrite the story. I decided to keep it in the draft because I think it is better to have too much material rather than too little when I edit. Constructive criticism is appreciated as it helps in the editing and rewriting process. Check out my other story Shattered Mind here
