Bella: “You stupid mutt! How could you? My baby!”
Jacob: “It wasn’t my idea, Bella!”
Bella: “I’ve held her all of one time, and already you think you have some moronic wolfy claim to her? She’s mine.”
Jacob: “I can share.”
Emmett: “Pay up.” [A small part of my brain wondered who had bet against this outcome. I didn’t waste much attention on it. I was too furious.]
Bella: “How dare you imprint on my baby? Have you lost your mind?”
Jacob: “It was involuntary! Bella, would you try to listen for just a second? Please?” Leah, back off.” [Leah curled her lip at me and didn’t move.]
Bella: “Why should I listen?”
Jacob: “Because you’re the one who told me this. Do you remember? You said we belonged in each other’s lives, right? That we were family. You said that was how you and I were supposed to be. So… now we are. It’s what you wanted.”
Bella: “You think you’ll be part of my family as my son-in-law!” [I screeched. My bell voice ripped through two octaves and still came out sounding like music. Emmett laughed.]
