You can blame this post -> *Hai* for this post. [Sorry @babybabyaphrodite I sort of took your joke post and ran with it like a kid with a knife. I hyper-fixated. Sorry]

I know that post is a joke, but now I want to figure out if it would work timeline-wise. So... yeah. Enjoy

Establishing timeline in general I’m using the Lexicon for base reference. I also used Timeanddate for the math because I suck at math in general but especially in timeline-math-form.

NOW

- New Moon starts September 13, 2005 - Ends April 7, 2006.

- Eclipse starts May 14, 2006 - Ends some point between June 16th and August 12, 2006. [the epilogue in Eclipse with Jacob has no set date, hence the uncertainty of when Eclipse really ends]

- Breaking Dawn starts August 12, 2006 - Ends January 1, 2007.

Then Renesmee is born on September 10th, 2006.

Now if you use timeanddate and use there subtractor from 9/10/2006 - 40 weeks it equals out to about December 4, 2005. Now in the actual timeline - Bella is a fucking zombie at this point, it’s in New Moon time.

Now lets figure out what possible dates Bella and Jake could’ve been... involved in New Moon

Now, Obviously any time between September 13, 2005 and January 15, 2006 are out of the possibilities. Why? Because Edward was around from Sep. 13th to Sep. 16th then Bella is a zombie from around the 16th of Sept to the 16th of January.

So - September, October, November, December. [I’d like the point out in this time that Renee did come to Forks to try and get Bella to move with her to Florida because Charlie was at his wits end and needed her to be healthy and happy again and figured Renee would know how to do it better so he called her and Bella literally threw a temper tantrum in this time because she was convinced that she needed to stay in Forks to survive because it was the last reminder that Edward had actually been real]

Now when we come back to Bella, it’s January 16th, 2006 and she’s forcing herself out of her zombie state to go hang out with her Human Friends from Forks High School to appease Charlie being worried asfuck about her. [I wonder the fuck why Isabella]. She discovers on this night that if she does anything dangerous [the bikers] that she can seem to heard Edward’s voice warning her against the decision (because that’s a healthy normal post-break-up relationship thing).

On Jan 17th she sees a neighbor getting rid of two motorcycles and decides to take them to Jake’s house so he can fix them so she can be stupid to hear Edward’s voice. This is the first time I think we’re told Bella has seen Jacob since the Prom scene and she’s way too into Edward at this point to do anything with Jake and he knows that so he doesn’t push for anything and just agrees to fix up the bikes. [I’d like to point out here that this is the first night Bella goes to sleep without dreaming or screaming in the middle of the night since Edward left Forks]

From this point on Bella sees Jacob a number of times - Jan 18, Jan 21, Jan 23, Jan 24, Jan 25 (Note - this is the day where Bella cuts her head open riding the bikes and Bella calls him beautiful in the truck), Jan 30, Feb 14, Feb 20, and then they talk on Feb 21.

From Feb 22nd to March 10th, Bella doesn’t see Jacob because of the transformation and all that fun shit. She’s told several times he’s sick, then he’s out with friends, then the excuses just fall flat and she decides to confront him about it but instead gets confirmation from Quil that Jake has joined Sam’s ‘gang’ aka Sam’s Pack.

On March 11th, Bella figured out what the fuck is happening with Jacob. Jacob and Paul fight. Bella meets Emily and the rest of the pack. then on March 12 she spends all day at La Push.

She then spends March 14 and March 16 (the cliff diving chapter and the Almost Kiss in the kitchen) with Jacob until Alice returns on the evening of March 16th thinking that she’s dead. Bella then doesn’t see Jacob from March 16th until April 7th, when he confronts Edward about the treaty and gives Bella her motorcycle back.

Now, if Bella really threw caution to the wind you can say the earliest she could’ve started fucking around with Jake would’ve been any time after Jan 17th. Do I think she would’ve? Nope.

The more likely dates are any time after the bike accident because that’s really the first time Bella unknowingly admits her feelings for Jacob. Now we know Bella fell in love with Jacob in New Moon (the only good confirmation we got from Smeyer tbh) so, it’s entirely possible that the ‘You’re beautiful’ moment could’ve been when Jacob said “Fuck it” and actually started putting effort into getting romantically with Bella, seeing that moment as her opening up for something a bit more than friendship between them.

Now that was January 25, 2006. Lets say Jake decides that for Valentines day [about 20 days after the Beautiful moment] to make his move and Bella doesn’t say no [she was going to kiss him if the phone didn’t ring on 3/16]. It would be entirely possible for that to have been a date of possible conception for a child. And given that Jacob is a werewolf, and triggers it approx. 8 days later, you could use that as a reasoning why Bella’s pregnancy could be Slightly faster than the normal pregnancy if you want her to be the full 40 weeks along in gestation when she has her baby.

Now - If Bella got pregnant on February 14th, the exact 40 weeks later date is November 21st. BUT, If the baby was early, like day was born at the 30 week mark, the due date would be more around September 12th. Now according to a google search, Babies born between 30 and 32 weeks, while still preterm, have at least a 99% chance of survival. They also have very low risk of health and development complications later on {*}.

Now typically, Women don’t start showing in their pregnancy until around 16 to 20 weeks along [timeline wise this would put Bella around June 6th to July 4th if she were to start show like a normal woman] which would be literally only weeks before her wedding [Bella got married on August 13th and realizes she’s pregnant on August 31st] It is actually entirely possible she could’ve only realized it on August 31st even in this scenario because there are people who don’t realize until like super late in their pregnancy and people who have such irregular periods they don’t even pay attention anymore - and with how much stress Bella’s gone through, I’d imagine she could miss a period and not even think about it for a while.

And its possible for women to not show until late in the pregnancy because of the way their bodies are, the way their uterus sits inside their body, and Also, Cryptic Pregnancy is a thing, kiddos. {*} {*}

So Even if Bella’s pregnancy was Super Normal™, it’s still entirely possible that she could’ve had Jacob’s baby in this scenario and not even realize she was pregnant in the first place.

~~~~

Now lets figure out what possible dates Bella and Jake could’ve been... involved in Eclipse for fun [tbh I wrote this part before realizing New Moon would make more sense for a normal pregnancy and I don’t want to get rid of it lmfao].

So when we start Eclipse, Jacob and Bella have absolutely fucking nothing to do with each other bc... angst and also Bella chose Edward (like a Dumbass) over Jacob in front of Jacob and Jacob got Bella grounded bc the motorcycle. So. The Children are fighting.

The Cullens and the Wolf pack get into their boundary dispute while Bella is in Florida with her mother on May 20th.

May 21 - Jacob confronts Edward to remind him and his family about the treaty and also makes sure Bella is still human. Edward finally comes clean about Vicki being in the area. [and if I’m remembering correctly, this is the first time Bella and Jake have seen each other since the end of New Moon]

May 25 - Bella pulls a Harry Houdini and jets the fuck off to La Push to see our favorite boy Jake. She learns about imprinting in this time and all sorts of shit.

From that day until June 1st she’s essentially under house arrest by the Cullens [dicks] and Alice or Edward are constantly up her ass during this time and not in a good way.

June 1st - Bella fucks off to Jacob’s again by escaping school. Bella tells Jakey that she wants to be a vampire and he gets understandably upset as fuck. That night Bella and Edward sleep in each others arms.

Bella hangs out with Jacob on June 3rd, June 8th (this is where the Kiss-Punch shit happens - I still think that was bullshit mischaracterization from RacistMeyer and will argue the fuck out of that tbh and the entirety of his character in Eclipse), June 11th (sorta, this is the grad party), June 12th (supes early in the morning bc of the training seshy and Jake’s a wolf for it), June 14th (Jake carried Bella to the campsite then they share a sleeping bag so she doesn’t freeze to death), and June 15th.

on June 15th is when Jake overhears about the engagement (Edward is still a dick for that), Bella asks Jake to kiss her (I stand by the fact that the manipulation tactic he uses in this is both too immature for Jacob and a massive mischaracterization bc smeyer is racist and probably realized Jacob was the better choice), then the battle happens and Jacob gets hurt by one of the newborn vampires. That evening, Jake and Bella talk she tells him what she saw when they kissed (ya know, their whole future) and then he asks her not to come back for a while if her choice is going to remain Edward. Then Bella has a break down while driving and Edward drives her home and then she cries in his arms all night long. The next day (16th) Bella and Alice talk about the wedding after Bella tells Edward he’s it for her.

Anyways.

If Bella and Jacob slept together in Eclipse there’s only a few dates it could’ve happened. May 25, June 1, June 3, and June 8.

Now if Bella got pregnant on May 25th and had a normal pregnancy, the due date would be around March 1, 2007.

If she got pregnant on June 1st and had a normal pregnancy, the due date would be around March 8, 2007.

If she got pregnant on June 3rd and had a normal pregnancy, the due date would be around March 10, 2007.

And if she got pregnant on June 8th and had a normal pregnancy, the due date would be around March 15, 2007.

Now if we keep the September 10th birth date she would be approx. x weeks along if she got pregnant on these dates, in a normal pregnancy:

15 weeks and 3 days for May 25th conception.

14 weeks and 3 days for June 1st conception.

14 weeks and 1 day for June 3rd conception.

13 weeks and 3 days for June 8th conception.

The likelyhood of any of these normal pregnancies surviving the September birthdate are... slim. Most pregnancies aren’t considered medically viable until after 24 weeks of pregnancy. So if she got pregnant in the Eclipse timeline - the pregnancy would have to be supernaturally enhanced [in this case, via Jacob’s werewolf genes] in order for the child to survive at all.

Now, I don’t think it’s possible even in canon for werewolf genes to enhance or speed up a pregnancy because of the fact that at their core, the wolves are human. They exist as humans who can shift into these wolves. And if Quick-Pregnancies were a major thing for the wolves it would’ve been mentioned because the Tribe would’ve talked about it due to the similarities between them and the Cullens’. Also humans themselves would take note because Sam’s and Jacob’s packs are not the first werewolves to exist in this world or in that general area.

Do I think this actually happened? No that’s be gross since in Canon Jacob imprints on Bella’s baby.

Do I think this would be perfect for an AU or fanfiction? Yes.

Do I give full permission for someone to take this timeline I’ve built and fucking run with it? Yes. Just fucking tag or link me I want to read it lmfao.
