Chapter 13-15

Characters:
Bella
Edward
Rosalie
Seth
Jacob
Leah
Paul
Jared
Quil
Collin
Alice
Jasper
Esme
Carlise

Summary:
While Carlisle and Rosalie are looking for the best way for Bella to drink the blood, Jacob tells her that Leah has also joined his now formed new pack. Jacob is surprised that Bella fears more Leah than Rosalie, who he clearly thinks that she’ll take Bella’s baby the first chance she gets. Carlisle gives Bella a plastic cup from were to try drink. When Bella makes a face, after smelling the blood, everyone worries. Edward tries to find another way, but Bella tells him that she’s not disgusted; in fact it actually smells good and drinks. Jacob saw that drinking the human blood brought back some of the old Bella, with her blushed cheeks and a stronger heartbeat.

Out of nowhere, Jacob hears Seth’s howl and runs out of the house into the forest. When he reaches Leah and Seth, Jared appears in human form followed by Paul, Quil and Collin as werewolves, telling them how they want for Jacob and the others to come home.     

When Jacob returns to check on Bella, he finds a stack of clothes for him and the other to wear. He’s surprised how much better Bella looks after drinking all that blood. Edward also tells him how Esme is worried about them being homeless and lets Jacob know that they are welcomed to food or anything else whenever they wanted.

Now that Bella is stronger so is the baby and it starts hurting her. Carlisle takes some x-rays and Jacob wonders why Alice is no longer by Bella’s side like she used to be, to which she tells him that the fetus gives her headaches. After taking a long nap, Jacob found Seth with the Cullens, having breakfast and with an arm around Bella.

Jacob asks Bella if she knows when the little monster will be born, but since the pregnancy is not normal they are unsure. Edward tells Jacob about the myths they’ve heard where the baby uses its teeth to escape from the womb and all of the research they’ve been doing.

Favorite Scene: There’s a moment when the baby breaks some of Bella’s ribs and while everyone is with her, Alice avoids her. I like this scene because it’s one of the rare moments where Alice talks to Jacob and they kind of bond. We also get to know more about the baby.

It was a funny moment when Jacob walks in the Cullen house and he finds Seth in a sort of family portrait with the Cullens and Bella. Seth doesn’t feel awkward at all.
 
Discussion Questions:
Do you think that tasting and drinking blood will make a difference in Bella when she becomes a vampire?
What do you think of the fact that Sam and the others would’ve gone as far as killing Bella if it went for Jacob telling the Cullens?
What do you think the baby and Jacob have in common that prevents Alice from seeing their future?
What were some of your favorite scenes or quotes?

Favorite Quote:
“You’re scared of Leah, but you’re best buds with the psychopath blonde?” –Jacob

“She understands that you’re gonna die and she doesn’t care, s’longas she gets her mutant spawn out of the deal.” –Jacob

“So now I rank under Seth”
“First come, first served. ’Sides, you were never an Alpha’s Third before. Still an upgrade”
–Leah & Seth

“I’m not trying to protect the innocence of your eyes, I’m trying to protect our backs. Get out of here.” –Jacob

“What’s on your mind, mind reader?” –Jacob

“What’s for breakfast? O negative or AB positive?” –Jacob

“Alice wants you, too. She says she’s tired of hanging out in the attic like the vampire batin the belfry.” –Seth

Do you think that tasting and drinking blood will make a difference in Bella when she becomes a vampire?

Not really...it will be instinctual and will not seem disgusting...much like it is now that she's drinking it for the baby except of course she won't need to drink it from a cup that keeps her from seeing it then!

What do you think of the fact that Sam and the others would’ve gone as far as killing Bella if it went for Jacob telling the Cullens?

I think that they are doing what they think is right and what they think is best for their people...not knowing what Bella's baby will be like and if it will be controllable or not.

What do you think the baby and Jacob have in common that prevents Alice from seeing their future?

That they aren't full human or full vampire...but a half-breed of sorts.

What were some of your favorite scenes or quotes?

I loved Rosalie making a dog bowel for Jacob to eat out of...not sure if that was in these 3 chapters or not though??

Do you think that tasting and drinking blood will make a difference in Bella when she becomes a vampire?
I worried that it would make it harder for her to be a "vegetarian" when I read it, but I also kept thinking of how she could smell blood and wondered what effect that would have. 

What do you think of the fact that Sam and the others would’ve gone as far as killing Bella if it went for Jacob telling the Cullens?
I was surprised by how irrational Sam was behaving after all that they had been through with the Cullens and seeing how they were so respectful of human life.   

What do you think the baby and Jacob have in common that prevents Alice from seeing their future?
When I first read the book, I had no real idea.  I assumed that it was because the baby was neither human nor vampire and she can't see other supernatural creatures.

What were some of your favorite scenes or quotes?
I loved the interaction between Rose and Jacob, as well as Edward keeping them from serving Bella blood in a clear glass.
