Jacob: “It wasn’t my idea, Bella!”
Bella: “I’ve held her all of one time, and already wewe think wewe 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 wewe imprint on my baby? Have wewe Lost your mind?”
Jacob: “It was involuntary! Bella, would wewe 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 wewe remember? wewe alisema we belonged in each other’s lives, right? That we were family. wewe alisema that was how wewe and I were supposed to be. So… now we are. It’s what wewe wanted.”
Bella: “You think you’ll be part of my family as my son-in-law!” [I screeched. My kengele voice ripped through two octaves and still came out sounding like music. Emmett laughed.]
Esme: “Stop her, Edward, She’ll be unhappy if she hurts him.”
Jacob: “No! How can wewe even look at it that way? She’s just a baby, for crying out loud!”
Bella: “That’s my point!”
Jacob: “You know I don’t think of her that way! Do wewe think Edward would have let me live this long if I did? All I want is for her to be salama and happy—is that so bad? So different from what wewe want?”
Edward: “Amazing, isn’t she?”
Carlisle: “She hasn’t gone for his throat even once,”.
Emmett: “Fine, wewe win this one.”
Bella: “You’re going to stay away from her.”
Jacob: “I can’t do that!”
Bella: “Try. Starting now.”
Jacob: “It’s not possible. Do wewe remember how much wewe wanted me around three days ago? How hard it was to be apart from each other? That’s gone for wewe now, isn’t it? That was her, From the very beginning. We had to be together, even then.”
Bella: “Run away while wewe still can.”
Jacob: “C’mon, Bells! Nessie likes me, too.”
Bella: “What… did wewe call her?”
Jacob: “Well, that name wewe came up with is kind of a mouthful and—”
Bella: “You nicknamed my daughter after the Loch Ness Monster?”
[And then I lunged for his throat.]
