Bella POV:
I'm now five months pregnant and extremely huge. Lena thinks it's because both Joseph and I are wolves. She's been studying to be a nurse so she's been checking on me to make sure everything was going well. I guess it was nice to have her rather than no one; since Joseph wasn't allowing me out of the basement now that I was having his pup. I punched him in the face and told him he may have fathered this baby but it doesn't make him a father.
I can say one good thing at this point , besides the baby, is that Joseph hasn't tried anything with me since the day he found out I was pregnant.
Matt and the elders had tried helping me escape but it failed. They had me fake being in pain so that Joseph would think it was the baby (I know it was wrong but we had to do something). Joseph freaked and took me to the hospital in Port Angeles. The elders came with us while Matt had pretended to stay here. He actually phased and ran the whole way. He phased back before he got to the hospital. The elders tried distracting him while I snuck out. It didn't work though because he ended up realizing what was happening and caught up to us. I ended up phasing and fighting with Joseph. Of course, he was careful enough so he didn't hurt me and I really stood no chance since his wolf is much larger than my own. I ended up phasing back and he took me back to his house which is where I am back in the basement.
The elders have been trying to come up with new ways to help me escape but at this point, it's going to have to wait. I can barely move and once the baby is born it'll be even harder for me. For now, I'll just have to trust that when the opportunity presents itself that we'll be able to make it out safely.
I'm lying in bed while Lena checks on me and the baby. I've only got a month and a half left. I'm seriously about to die. I'm bigger than a beached whale and I've never once seen a lady who was as big as me at this stage. Lena keeps telling me it's the wolf genes. I only hope she's right and that there aren't a bunch of kids in me at the moment.
Lena informs me that I should probably be on bed rest seeing as how my blood pressure is up a little and my feet are swelling pretty badly. I agree because it's not like I really do anything other than lay in bed all day anyway. She gives me the usually spill about letting Matt know if I'm experiencing any contractions, blah, blah, blah. She gives me a smile and leaves.
Joseph comes down a while later with some food, which makes me happy since I'm starving, and a huge box. He sets the food down next to the bed and then proceeds to unload the box. After a few moments I realize that it's most likely supplies for when I have the baby. This totally freaks me out and suddenly, I'm not so hungry anymore. I roll over on my side as best I can, place a pillow between my knees and proceed to fall asleep. Eventually I wake up because my child decided to use my bladder as a trampoline. I waddle my way to the bathroom, since I can't really call it walking anymore. I relieve myself and make my way back to the bed. I try and get comfortable but nothing seems to be working. My feet and back hurt so I just decide to give up and go back to sleep. I still feel tired anyway. I wake up a while later to my back still hurting. I try adjusting sides but nothing seems to be working. I get up and walk around the room, thinking that I may have just slept wrong and that the walking with relieve the pressure on my back. After a while it goes away so I sit back down and do nothing. I decide to think of names since I have nothing better to do and come up with a few that I really like. At some point I fell asleep only to be woken up by more back pain.
I decide that maybe I should try and get a hold of Matt so he can let Lena know. She'd probably try and kick my ass if I didn't. I had two options, I yell for Joseph and hope that someone's in the house to hear me, or I phase and attempt to reach his mind. I decide that the first option is better since I've only ever been able to reach Matt's mind once and it was extremely difficult for me to do it. I sit up and waddle towards the bottom of the stairs. There's no way in hell I'm attempting to get up them. I yell for Joseph and wait. After a few minutes, I yell again, this time for Matt. Yet again, no answer, so I yell for Ryan, Adam and John. Eventually I hear the lock go on the door and let out a sigh of relief that someone was here to hear me. Adam came down the stairs to see what was wrong. I told him I needed Lena and he went back upstairs. I went and sat in the rocking chair near the bed. My back was really starting to bother me now and I felt like I was having cramps or something. I was seriously starting to get scared now.
It was about fifteen minutes later that Lena and Matt came downstairs. Lena rushed over to my side where I was in the chair. I could feel my eyes watering and I wasn't really sure if it was from me being scared or the small amount of pain I was in. I explained to Lena what was going on and she told me she needed to check me. She had me get on the bed and undress from the waist down. Matt had gone into the bathroom to give me some privacy. I was thankful considering I saw him as a brother and no girl wants her brother to see that part of her.
It was extremely uncomfortable experience but I was sure I'd take this over what was to come any day. Judging by the look on Lena's face I knew I was in labor. She confirmed my thoughts by informing me I was already at 4 cm. I covered myself with the sheet so that Matt could come out. Lena let him know what was going on and told him that she may need his help but no one else needed to be here. Matt went to inform everyone what was going on. Lena helped me change into a gown that Joseph must have gotten from a hospital or something.
By the time Matt had gotten back, my contractions had gotten much closer. Lena checked me again and let me know I was now at 8 cm and it wouldn't be much longer. Two hours later, I gave birth to my son, Liam Jaxxon Swan. He weighed in at 8 pounds 2 ounces. I couldn't imagine how much he would have weighed if he had another month to grow. I was extremely tired but the moment Joseph came down my wolf was on alert. She was detecting a threat against her pup, even if it was his own father. I could feel the growl erupt from my throat, surprisingly Liam wasn't scared. He snuggled further into my chest. Joseph apparently was smart enough to stay back. Matt suggested they go upstairs while Lena checked us out. Once he was out of my sight, I visibly relaxed. Lena checked us over and gave us a clean bill of health before leaving as well. With my little man curled up against me, safely in my arms, I fell asleep.
I was woken up a few minutes later to Liam rooting around my chest. Instinctively I knew he was hungry. I lowered the top of my gown and positioned Liam so that he could eat and eat he did. Eventually we both fell asleep. Liam nestled into my chest and me holding him protectively.
E/N: So, what did you guys think? I think one more chapter before Bella finally makes her escape and we're to the intro of the story. Feel free to review. Thanks for reading.
