The werewolf "imprints" on Bella's unborn vampire baby later in the series, so fortunately the scales of creepiness end up balanced between Team Edward and Team Jacob.

Casually outting yourself as having read the books.

We're allowed to like what we like, especially as kids. Give your younger self a break lol
