Making It Last

Chapter 1: The Little Baby Girl

Emily POV

I am Emily Maria Young Uley, and I am in labor. My husband Sam, is holding my hand looking at me in fear. He is also the alpha of the La Push pack, even though there are only three people.

"PUSH, ONE MORE TIME!" Ms. Travanson yelled over my gasps in pain and short breaths. I pushed as hard as I could and knew I was done when I heard the shrill little cry from my baby girl. When I looked down, I saw a little baby girl wrapped up in a pink blanket.

"Babe, what do you want to name her?" Sam asked, even though he knew what I wanted to name her. I could tell that he wanted to go scream to the world that he had a little baby girl now. His face explained it all, he was smiling so wide that it looked as if his face was going to break,

"Isabella Gabrielle Hope Uley, Bella for short." I replied surely smiling at my little baby girl. Ms. Travanson left from the room to go get my Bella's certificate. She came back in a few minutes later with a dark pink sturdy piece of paper. She handed me the paper.

Born: May 27, 2003

I gave the paper to Sam who looked like he couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed it and ran out of the room. I heard him shout "I HAVE A BABY! I'M A FATHER!" I am ecstatic that he's excited to be a father and that he wants to be a great father. Sam walked back in after about 7 minutes.

"Ok, I think I got it all out." He assured me. He switched his eyes from me to the Bella. "Can I hold her?" I nodded. I loved how sweet he was, and I know that Bella probably got that trait from him.

2 Days Later…

Emily POV Continued

Ms. Travanson gave us the ok to go home. Sam was in the chair holding Bella. He handed me the clothes he had gathered from home. I walked into the bathroom, and laid out the clothes. He picked out a pair of dark blue jeans, pink short sleeved shirt with a pair of pink Nike's. I got dressed, as I walked into the hospital room I saw Bella bundled up in her car-seat that Sam was holding onto. Her car-seat that I bought her was so cute, it was pink with green little bees on it. I have no idea why I chose GREEN bees but it was cute. Sam motioned for me to go first. I walked out of the hospital and to our black GMC Denali.

Sam put Bella in her spot, and got in the driver's seat. I got in and buckled up as Sam drove off. I woke up to Sam tapping my shoulder. I looked up as I noticed we were home. I walked over to the door and unlocked it. I glanced up at Sam's spot to notice he was getting Bella out of her seat. He picked her up and walked through the open door. The clock on my watch read 8:54 p.m.

"Honey, we should get Bella to bed as well for us, too." I said, yawning. I took Bella from Sam but was surprised when Sam let out a small whine. I waved him off like whatever and took Bella upstairs. I walked in her new room and put her to bed. When I kissed Bella's nose she giggled, she was the cutest little baby. I walked across the room and turned out the light. I lingered there for a few more moments until I felt Sam's hand go around my waist.

"She's beautiful isn't she?" Sam murmured softly. I looked at him and nodded

"When she gets into her teen years I have a feeling you'll have to buy a bat. The boys are going to be all over her." I suggested smiling slightly.

17 YEARS OLDER!

Bella POV

I woke up this morning feeling as stiff as a stick. I looked at my phone, it read seven sixteen a.m. This week has been kind of weird because all this week I have been waking up at seven or six o'clock a.m. My daddy came in my room and kissed me on my nose which caused me to let out a giggle, he smiled.

"Daddy, for my birthday, will you buy me a touch screen phone?" I asked sweetly, using my puppy dog face. I don't know where that question came from, it was kinda out of the blue, but I was thinking about getting a new phone. He looked as if he was going to give in but shook his head no. "Please daddy…." I whined, this time I used my puppy dog face but I made it look like I was a hurt puppy.

"Ok baby girl, we will get you a touch screen phone but you have to do me a favor. He said. I nodded.

"What's the favor, daddy?" I asked in my angelic voice.

"You have to meet my pack and the imprints." He replied looking kind of excited about me meeting the pack.

"But mom said she doesn't want Paul near me because he is short-tempered. I said to my dad looking at him confused at the same time.

"That is why you cannot tell your mother that they're coming. My plan is that since your mother doesn't like to be mean she can't make somebody leave our house, so if the pack is already in the house then she can't uninvited them when they're already here."

"Ok daddy." I sighed just because.

"Daddy when is the pack coming?" I asked quietly.

"Today at one p.m. and right now it's eleven forty five they are coming in fifteen minutes. Baby I want you to get dressed in 30 minutes then come downstairs to meet the pack. Oh, and also pick out something for karaoke night after we go to the beach." He commanded softly but sternly. My dad walked out of the room closing the door behind him and went to his room. I walked over to my bathroom which was connected to my room. As I walked in I looked in the mirror and screamed at what I saw. I looked HORRIBLE, my hair was matted all over the place, my lipstick was a little smeared, and I had crust in the corner of my eyes. WOW! I have a lot of work to do. I sighed long and hard but turned the shower on. I undressed, put my hand in the water to make sure it was room temperature. I stepped inside the shower, the water caused me to sigh at the warmth and relief.

After about 10 minutes of my shower I got out while putting the towel around my body and walked back into my room. I went up to my 'makeup/hair dresser' and put on some mascara, eyeliner, and a little blue eye-shadow after turning on my curling iron. I put some pink lipstick lightly with some lip gloss which I also put on lightly to make my lips look shinier. I took a bunch of my hair out of the middle of my head and put it up in ponytail while leaving some hair down in the back. I curled the back and curled my bangs also that hung loosely in front of my right eye. I put all my make up that I left out after putting up the curling irons.

I walked straight to closet and opened the door. I looked for some clothes but couldn't decide because I had to many. Some clothes were old and some new. I decided on a mint green 2-in-1 top with some dark blue jean shorts. I walked over to my 'accessory' box, I pulled out a white jersey knot headband, a pair of beautiful white vintage butterfly glasses, some Morgan Le Fay's earrings, my bracelet and a diamond anklet. I didn't need to paint my nails they were already painted last night when I went to the nail shop. I walked over to my computer desk and got my purse.

As I walked downstairs I started to here voices. When I reached the last step all eyes were turned to me. I looked up and saw about 9 massive boys. They smiled while some had their mouths open. Daddy went over to the 3 that had their mouths open and smacked them upside the head. They all whispered an 'oww' and started to rub the back of their heads. I walked over to daddy as he lead me to the start of the line.

"This is Jared, Kim, Jake, Embry, Quil, Collin, Brady, Seth, Leah, and Paul." I shook hands with each of them and smiled warmly but when I got to Paul I looked in his eyes. I felt like the world around me shifted, the floor beneath me was not there, everyone in the room was forgotten. He held me to this earth now, not gravity. I felt a pull to him, and the pull got stronger. As I reached out to shake Paul's hand, when we touched I felt this current go through my body like a shock of electricity.

"FUCK!" Daddy shouted which snapped me out of the trance I was in. As I reached out to shake Paul's hand, when we touched I felt this current go through my body like a shock of electricity. I quickly looked at daddy and saw that he was shaking but when mommy touched his arm his shaking all stopped.

"What daddy?" I asked softly.

"You know the story of imprinting right?" He asked.

"Yeah mommy told me when I was 5 about how you find your soul mate. They will be whatever you need them to be. I think that's it." I said mentally rethinking it.

"Yes, baby, that's exactly it." Daddy said looking down and back up. "Well Paul, maybe you should take it from here."

"Well… um…. I um imprinted on you." Paul said softly all the guys had on shocked faces I knew because Paul was always a bully and a meany, well with me around that's going to change. I was still kind of shocked that Paul had imprinted on me.

"You imprinted on me?" I asked him with as much love as I could. He nodded. "Well I'm glad."

The smile that broke across his face lit up my whole heart. He was smiling so wide I thought his face might break. He ran over and picked me up and spun me around so many times that I became dizzy. Paul let me go but once me feet hit the ground I was turning in circles until mom came over and steadied me.

I knew Paul before daddy introduced me to him, I just didn't know his name. I actually knew a lot about him. His mom died of alcohol poisoning, and his dad beat and abused him after his mom died. His dad used to tell him that it was his fault that his mom died. One night I was sitting at the beach with my best friends Alice, Kim, and Rosalie when I heard crying. I turned around and at the tree line was Paul crying saying he blamed me over and over again. That's how our friendship started until he moved to Seattle with his aunt when he turned 15 and stayed there until he turned 17. He is now 18 years old, a year old than me.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Paul asked with hope evident in his voice. I looked at daddy who nodded his head. He knew I knew a lot about Paul because I told him how me and Paul were best friends for about 4 years. I looked back at Paul who was smiling ear-to-ear as I nodded. I was again picked up by him. I thought over the introductions remembering the names as I scanned through them one more time. As soon as I got to Kim's name I screamed.

"WHAT?" Jake asked confused. I looked at Kim and we both screamed together. I ran at her tackling her to the ground.

"BELLA!" Kim shouted.

"KIM!" I shouted back. "When did you get back? Why didn't you call me? How's my baby doing? How are your parents? When did you get back?"

"WHOA BELLA!" Kim yelled stopping me from my continuous questions. "I am going to answer only one question today because it's a long story."

"Ok." I replied calmer still kind of out of breath. My mother and father went upstairs to pack for the vacation they were going on. They were supposed to be going to L.A., California for 5 weeks. Mom and Dad were also leaving today at…. Right now! TIME TO GET THIS PARTY STARTED!

"Paul a little help." Kim said while picked me up and pulled me to his chest. I unwrapped his arms from around me and went to help Kim up. She walked over to Jared as I walked over to Paul who was sitting on the couch. I sat next to him. I'm guessing he didn't like that so he pulled me into his lap and snuggled his head into the crook of my neck. I think everyone miss judged Paul, and never tried to really look into his body and see that he had a warm heart if you just gave him a chance. My mom and daddy walked downstairs, my mom with no bags, and my dad with 7 or 8 bags. I stifled my laughter at how I was so like my mother.

"Well sweetheart, we are about to leave. NO PARTIES." She said sternly walking over and kissing my forehead. She was about 4 inches taller than me standing at 5' 6'' and me standing at 5' 2''. I looked over to my dad, to see that he was throwing daggers at all the boys. If looks could kill ALL of them men this room would be DEAD! After my dad was done trying to kill my boys he dropped the bags and ran over to hug me.

"Like your mother said NO PARTIES! Bella for my sake PLEASE don't try taking away your innocence." Daddy sternly said pleading with me at the end.

"Ok daddy, I get it NO PARTIES and everything else." I said blushing as everyone in the room chuckled. They left out the door after my dad glared one more time at the guys.

"PARTY TIME!" Leah, Kim, and I yelled after we were sure they couldn't hear. The guys chuckled again before nodding.
