Jake furiously runs to the Cullen residence in order to check in on Bella's condition only to discover that the reason she is sick is because she is pregnant with nobody knows what. Edward speaks to Jake a fair distance away from the house so none of the Cullens could hear the conversation. Jake describes Edward's facial expression and body language of being that of a man burning at the stake, full of pain and anguish. Edward begs Jake to talk Bella out of having the baby that could possibly kill her; he even tells Jake that if a baby is what Bella wants then she can destroy this one and have a baby with Jake. Jake desperately attempts to talk Bella out of going through this pregnancy yet no matter how hard he tries she has made up her mind. Even if it kills her, she is willing to carry the blood-sucking baby. She says that if Edward changes her from a human to a vampire that she has a chance of living, but its not a guarantee. Jake now finds himself wishing that Edward would change her when before he couldn't imagine the act.
Jake returns to the pack to inform them of Bella's condition. Sam ultimately jumps to the conclusion that the baby is a danger to their families along with the rest of the town, and under the vampire/wolf treaty, it is the pack's duty to protect the humans of the dangers of a vampire; even if that means killing Bella and the rest of the Cullen clan--who, to Seth, are people, which would contradict the treaty. This logic does not stop Sam who believes that they must attack that night. This breaks Jakes heart. He is not capable of destroying the love of his life or the kindhearted doctor or the rest of the clan for that matter. And after fighting alongside the vampires last spring, Seth has formed a friendship with the Cullens. With Sam being the Alpha of the pack, Seth and Jake have no choice but to listen to his orders.
However, Jake remembers that Alpha blood runs through his veins. He was the natural born leader of the pack but gave the authority to Sam when the pack was first created. But giving Sam the Alpha position does not mean that Jake loses his natural born right. After realizing this, Jake confronts Sam about what he is doing is wrong and tells him that he doesn't have to fall to Sam's every command. Jake decides to return to the Cullen residence and forewarn them of the attack of the wolves. As he is running, Jake suddenly realizes that it is very quiet. Not physically quiet in the forest but in his head. Because he has left the pack, Jake's thoughts are no longer connected with his brothers. However, not long after this realization, he hears this annoying, non-stopping voice in his head. After listening carefully he discovers that Seth has left Sam's pack to join Jake's pack.
