In Breaking Dawn what does Edward say to Jacob on page 341?

Answer 1

(no copyright intended) "You think she's going to make it," I (Jacob) whispered. "Yes. That was the other thing I wanted to talk to you about." (Edward) [I couldn't say anything. After a minute, he went on.] "Yes," he (E.) said again. "Waiting, as we have been, for the child to be ready, that was insanely dangerous. At any moment it could have been too late. But if we're proactive about this, if we act quickly, I see no reason why it should not go well. Knowing the child's mind is unbelievably helpful. Thankfully, Bella and Rose agree with me. Now that I've convinced them it's safe for the child if we proceed, there's nothing to keep this from working." "When will Carlisle be back?" I asked, still whispering. (J.) "By noon tomorrow." (E.) [My knees buckled. I had to grab the car to hold myself up. Edward reached out like he was offering support, but then he thought better of it and dropped his hands.] "I'm sorry," he (Edward) whispered. "I am truly sorry for the pain this causes you, Jacob. Though you hate me, I must admit I don't feel the same about you. I think of you as a . . . a brother in many ways. A comrade in arms, at the very least. I regret your suffering more than you realize. But Bella is going to survive" --when he said that his voice was fierce, even violent--"and I know that's what really matters to you." [He was probably right. It was hard to tell. My head was spinning.]
