Chapter 4

BPOV:

I woke up the next morning around 5 am the next morning to my Grandma rubbing my arm.

"Wake up sweetie, we have much to do today" she said, smiling brightly. I knew I would have to wake up early and help out. It would just take some getting used to waking up this early.

"There's breakfast downstairs with the others" she said, letting me get changed and lead me downstairs where the others were already sitting down. I saw two women who I hadn't seen before so I assumed they were Sue and Leah. Leah looked exactly like her mother and they both seemed to keep to themselves, talking only to each other. Seth beamed when he saw that I was coming.

"Bella!" he exclaimed, "I saved you a seat!" he pointed to a chair between him and Sam. I happily sat down next to them both and listened into what they were talking about.

Conversation went on about the animals and the diner. I didn't add anything because it was only my first day here.

"Bella, you can go with Sam and Seth after breakfast to the stable and check Aiden over and take care of what needs to be done" my grandpa said. I smiled and nodded.

After breakfast was done, we all went our separate ways. The boys going to the barns and fields while Sue and Leah went to the diner to open up.

I went to the stables and walked over with Seth, who was chatting up a storm about himself and the guys, as well as Sam to tend to the horses and Aiden.

I walked over to Aiden and got him feed, as well as groomed first. I tried getting Seth to ride him outside while I cleaned up but he wasn't having it. So in the end I rode Aiden around the fields and Sam and Seth cleaned up his stall.

Around lunch time Gram brought us food and we quickly ate before getting back to work. I helped out a few more hours but decided that since everyone was busy I would go get dinner ready. Sue and Leah ate at the diner from what I heard so I decided to make some chicken, corn, potatoes and a salad tonight.

I baked the chicken in the oven, cooked the potatoes and corn and got the salad prepared before 7 o'clock.

Everyone came into the house, having smelled the food cooking.

"Oh thank you Bella" Gram said, smiling brightly at me. Grandpa looked excited, he had tasted my cooking and he loved it so he was glad to see that I was cooking again.

After everything that had happened in Port Angeles, I still had this.

The boys set the table and started passing the food around, each talking happily and munching loudly. I received exclamations of how good the food was, making me smile and I planned to make more food for them during the coming weeks and months.

I sat next to Sam, talking excitedly with him after having been more comfortable around him as we worked together in the stables.

"Thank you Bella, the food was great" Sam said, wrapping an arm around my shoulders and one arm hugging me against him.

"Your welcome! I always like to cook so I'll be cooking a lot while I'm here" I said, smiling at him and the others.

"Do you think Leah and Sue would like some food?" I asked, trying to be nice and polite. From what Seth told me about his mom and sister, they kept to themselves, not spending a lot of time with anybody but each other. This mainly happened after his father died when he was only three and Leah was ten years old. She stayed close to her mother after that, so Seth felt he had no one to spend time with growing up besides his friends he made at school.

"No probably not" Sam said, rolling his eyes "they don't eat anywhere but there unless its breakfast. They prefer their own food and the food Harry, her late husband, used to like than anything else".

"I mean, we understand that they miss him, but they don't have to be rude about it" Paul said, lacking much feeling besides annoyance.

"Yeah, they say it with such an attitude that it makes us not want to go there" Jared said.

"So you guys never eat with them?" I asked, curiously.

"Nope, not even Seth. They close themselves off, ignoring all of us and not even thinking of inviting any of us. Seth isn't even invited and he's her son" Jake said. Seth didn't seem to mind, preferring the guys to them.

"I don't mind really. It's just hurtful that they don't think I want to be there. He was my dad too..." Seth said, his smiling turning down a bit. I leaned over and hugged him close to me, kissing his forehead.

"It's okay, you're always wanted and welcome here Seth" I said, making him blush but his smile could blind someone with how bright and happy it looked.

"Well you guys better turn it, waking up bright and early again and we all need rest" Gram said, giving us all hugs and kisses before heading up to bed. Grandpa followed her up and left us to close down the house for the night.

By 9 o'clock we were all in bed and asleep. Leah and Sue didn't come in until 11, having as usual morned Harry over dinner.

As the days turned into weeks, Bella soon was absorbed by the guys. She spent the mornings taking care of the horses with Sam and Seth, and after lunch she would clean the house or do something in the fields. She had no fear of getting dirty. After her work she would go make dinner and everyone would gather around and enjoy their lunch, as usual with no Leah or Sue.

No one seemed to mind much, since whenever they ate with them in the morning things were always awkward.

Sam and Bella had gotten closer, spending lots of time with each other when they had time. He would sit next to her at every meal, would walk her to her room every night and would even wrap his arm around her shoulders randomly. It was only a matter of time before they would take this a step forward. And three weeks after her arrival, Bella and Sam announced they were a couple.

It was on a sunny day, four weeks after that, that things began to change for Bella, and she was not sure if it was for the better or for the worst.

It began when she started feeling sick, a nauseated feeling was growing in her stomach. And then a few days after, her breasts began to be tender. She noticed as she was putting on her bra in the morning that her breasts were feeling slightly tender.

She began getting sick, throwing up random times during the day after smelling certain smells that never bothered her before. Sam was starting to get worried about her, not sure what was bothering her, and he didn't know what had happened in Port Angeles so he had no clue what was about to happen.

But he decided to approach her after she got sick for the second time that morning.

"Bella...what's wrong?" he asked her.

She was shaking, "I don't know..." she mumbled, not quite herself yet.'

He pulled her aside "are you sure?"

"I don't know. I honestly don't! It's not like I'm pregnant!..." she shouted before stopped her rant.

"Oh my God" she said, her eyes turning wide and her pale face went paler.

"Bella...are you-do you think you could be?" he asked.

"Most likely..." she whimpered.

"Bella? What happened?" he asked.

So she told him. She told him everything and by the end of it, she was a crying blubbering mess in his arms.

But Sam never rejected her, she held her close to him and comforted her, and Bella knew she was blessed to have such a great man in her life. Bella hadn't told him about what happened, too afraid to tell him and then lose him. These few weeks with him were some of the best she ever experienced, she didn't want to lose it all because of something like that. She was kept up by nightmares almost on a daily basis, and Sam was always there to soothe them away.

It was Sam who convinced her to go into town and get checked out by a doctor. So that's where they both were right now.

Sam was pacing in the waiting room while Bella got a check-up by the local doctor. She was there for about an hour before he was allowed in.

Bella was sitting on the hospital bed crying, so Sam rushed over and proceeded to comfort her.

"No matter what, I'm not leaving you Bella" he said, bringing her close to him and offering her support he knew she needed.

"Thank you" she whimpered, tucking her body into his.

The doctor chose that moment to come inside "You must be Mr. Uley" she said, smiling brightly.

"Yes I am" he said, standing up and shaking her hand.

"So Bella is competely checked over, we're sorry it took so long but she hadn't had her shots and a check-up done since she was twelve so we needed to do a complete check over. Her shots are up to date and we gave her the pre-natal vitamins she'll need" the doctor explained.

His head shot up and he looked at her in shock, "so Bella is for sure pregnant?" he asked.

"Yes she is, she's two months along" the doctor said, filling him in.

Sam was so happy, and in his mind he vowed to be there for both her and the baby. He would be that baby's father. No doubt about it. And he would love that child with everything he had.

"Thank you doctor" he said, hugging Bella close and they took their leave. They sat in the car and Bella had yet to speak about it.

"Baby, what's wrong" he asked his girl.

"I'm scared..." she whispered.

"Why my love?"

"What...what if I'm not a good parent? It's only going to be me raising him or her" she said.

His brow furrowed, "you don't think I'm going to stick around?"

"Why would you? You have your whole life ahead of you, I'm sure you don't want a pregnant girlfriend holding you back" she said, new tears gathering in her eyes.

He pulled her close to him, "I'm not leaving you Bella. You'll be a great mother and I'll be right there with you helping you take care of your child" he said, while in his head he was hoping that one day it would be their child. He had been with her for two months and he could already image spending his life with her.

He was a goner, he just knew it.

"We need to tell everyone what happened" Bella said, breaking the silence.

"I know, your grandparents will be happy, the guys will be ecstatic and Leah and Sue won't give a shit. Same old stuff that happens at home" Sam said, making Bella laugh.

"Let's go baby" Sam said, starting the car.

As they expected, the guys were happy, but sad at what had happened to their girl when she told them of what happened in Washington. Her grandparents were over the moon with happiness at hearing they were going to be great-grandparents.

Instantly her grandmother took her aside and spent all night talking about being a mother and giving advice on what she should and shouldn't do this early.

Bella was glad she had someone like her grandmother who could help her out. She had no idea what to do but with her Gram, she felt she had more control over herself and could actually handle carrying the baby. An abortion was out of the question so she had to find out what to expect.

That night, Bella said a prayer up to God, thanking him for blessing her with Sam, her grandparents and her friends, as well as blessing her with this child. While she wasn't sure she would be a good mother, she felt blessed to be given a child after a situation like that.

That night, she fell asleep on her own, and got a good night's sleep for the first time in weeks.
