AN: So I know this has been forever but it's called I'm in the best program for what I'm studying so it kind of takes up my time but I try to update when I can so on with the show.

After the hospital that day I walked over to Target to get my Dad his refills on his meds. They told me it would take a couple of minutes so I wandered over to the baby aisle. I saw a five pack of newborn onesies on sale so I grabbed one. They were plain solid colors so it could work for either gender.
I got my Dad's medicine and I made my way back to the car and headed home. Dad and I had dinner and then I texted Bella if I could come over.

Jacob was supposed to be coming over soon so I ran the brush through my hair and applied a light lip-gloss. This felt so weird I mean it was Jacob. But now his name made my heart flutter.
"Hey Baby, Daddy is coming over are you excited?" I rubbed my hand over my still flat belly. I couldn't wait to start showing. The idea of the baby being like a mini Jacob ran through my head and I'm not going to lie it was the cutest little girl in my head. The baby had changed genders it seemed almost daily in my head. All I wanted was a healthy baby
You also want the baby's daddy. Don't lie to yourself sweetie.
The voice in my head can be such a bitch sometimes. Yes it helps with my sarcastic style of writing but it was annoying running in my head. I heard the doorbell ring so I yelled "One second." I went and undid the door lock and there was Jacob. I wanted to pull him by his belt loops and do him on the floor. Whoa I knew I had feelings for him but I was shocked by the momentary urge that hit me.
"Do you want anything? I got this peppermint tea that's really good."
"Sure that sounds fine."
I went and got the electric water kettle going and sat down next to Jacob.
"So how's work?"
"Good. I mean it's mainly been the same thing. So how's writing going?"
"I've actually been really inspired lately. I should definitely have the book done by the time I'm all huge from the baby."
"You're not going to be huge. You're going to be pregnant." Jacob went and placed his hand on my belly. "So you get all nice and big and strong inside Mommy, Peanut."
"So Peanut and I want to show you what I was thinking about doing for the baby's room." I didn't even realize it at first I grabbed Jacob's hand to lead him to my guest room. "So since this room has the best light I thought it would be good for the baby. I mean obviously I would need to get a crib and a dresser."
JPOV
I want to kiss her. It's like she is like stirring something primal in me. She's carrying my baby and is talking about the nursery.
"So do you want to tell everyone together that we're having a baby?" Then I heard a high-pitched whistle "Oh shit the kettle!" Bella then half walk half ran out of the room to make the tea.
"Bells do you need any help?"
"Nope I'm good." I looked as she went about doing it. It was kid of adorable how Bella's hand would ghost her stomach as she was doing something. I was imagining Bella walking around the kitchen with a toddler on her hip. Don't go there, Jake. That is dangerous territory boy.
Bella then handed me the mug of tea and we sat down on the couch. " So I was thinking we could tell my Dad and Billy this weekend."
"Are you sure you're ready?"
"I mean I'll be eleven weeks on Sunday that's one week away from the first trimester being over I would say it's safe. That and Leah wants to do dinner at her house."
"Ok that sounds good."
"Maybe we should sit down for this. How do we tell everyone that you're the father?"
"Well you see Bella you and I gave each other a special kind of hug."
"Thank you smart ass you know what I mean everyone is going to have questions about this. Considering we're not together."
"I mean we could tell them that we got drunk and slept together without a condom."
"That will never work."
"I'm pretty sure that's how Leah and Embry ended up with Brady."
"Jacob."
"Look they got plastered at the bar and forty weeks later give or take Brady was here." Bella snort-laughed and I couldn't help it I thought it was so cute.
"While that is funny I don't want our baby to ever think he or she was an accident."
"We can give them an edited version of the truth. You wanted a baby and I donated sperm. We can just make it sound like it was in lab versus in your bed." She smiled at that.
"And then you decided you wanted to be part of the baby's life?"
"Yeah I mean because that's basically what happened."

I yawned what I thought was the hugest yawn I have ever done. Jacob started chuckling at me.
"Don't laugh I can't help if the baby makes me sleepy."
And then Jacob kissed me. It started out slow and then gradually got more intense until he pulled away and I almost whimpered at him.
No fair I'm pregnant and horny.
"Bells I can't do this."
"You kissed me."
"I know and I'm sorry but I have to go." And with that Jacob almost booked out the door.
"Baby I don't know what happened." I said talking to my belly once he left. "But I'm sure it's going to be ok."
The next day I got my two crockpots out, yes I have two, and started on my famous stew. It was one of Jacob's favorite meals next I called my Dad and left him and voicemail and called Billy and invited them over for dinner.
I knew I was playing dirty but I needed to talk to Jacob even if it was for the baby. I ran to the grocery store on the rez and picked up some loaves of sourdough bread that went perfectly with it. As I was walking out the store I ran into Embry.
"Whoa sorry there Bella."
"Hey Embry what are you up too?" And then I felt sick I realized the smell from his cologne was nauseating to me.
"Oh not much little Collin has a fever so I just got him some of the ice pops Jacob recommends so much."
"Do you have the night shift.." Before I could say "again" I threw up on Embry's converses. So many things went through my head but it's amazing the main thought was when did I last eat string beans considering they were you know in the mix.
"Oh my God Embry I am so sorry. I owe you a new pair of shoes."
"Hey at least you threw up outside the store." Embry said as he started kicking dirt on the vomit. I took a water bottle out of my bag and swished some of it around and took some of the mints I had taken to carrying in my bag.
"Oh shit you're pregnant."
"What?" Embry grabbed my arm and
"Bella I have dealt with Leah pregnant three times you really think I can't figure it out. How far along are you?"
"Ten weeks."
"Oh God who knows."
"Well me, now you and the baby's father."
"Jesus Bella you're going to kill Jacob when you tell everyone."
"What are you talking about?"
"Nothing, just promise me you'll talk to Jacob and tell him before you tell the rest of us."
"Ok."
That was weird I thought to myself as I headed back to my house. That night the whole house smelled delicious if I do say so myself. I put one crockpot on the table the other was solely for leftovers for everyone. The bread and margarine (not butter for Billy) was on the table with a pitcher of water and one of tea. When I heard the doorbell ring I yelled out "It's open."
"You know Bella that's not completely safe." My Dad said as they all walked into the house.
"Well good thing I have three strong men to come to my rescue."

This is torture she looks so happy right now. Dinner tastes amazing. Once it's done Bella tells our dads to watch the football game and asks me to help clean up.
"Jacob we need to talk what happened last night?"
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have run out like that. But I'm sorry Bella I can't do the physical stuff with you anymore." She had this look on her face like she was wondering if it was her fault. "No it's not you."
"Then what's going on? Why did Embry say that knowing about the baby was going to kill you?"
"What you told Embry?"
"He figured it out after I puked on his shoes." She looked down at her shoes as she said this and I couldn't help but laughing.
"Jacob it's not funny."
"I'm sorry honey." I said as I pulled her into a hug and kissed the top of her forehead. "Ok I'm going to say this and I have to get it all out. Embry said that because you clearly didn't tell him I'm the father. Everyone besides you seems to realize that I have feelings for you. I have for a while now."
"You do?"
"Yeah I do."
Then I felt her give me a peck on the lips "Good because I like you too."
