A/N sorry there was so much time between chapters will try to get two out for you this week. Will try to update once a week after that
Last Time
Nearly two hours after they had run off, Paul and Jasper returned.
Jasper pulled me out of my seat and wrapped his arms around me and held me as if he never wanted to let me go. Paul placed his hand on my back and rubbed in small circles. Jasper kissed me softly on the lips before turning to everyone.
"Paul and I came to a mutual decision about Bella and the baby. Bella and I were waiting until after everything with Victoria was straighten out and she had finished school before we thought about changing her. I will not be changing her at all. After the baby is born, Paul will give Bella a mating mark. That way her aging will stop while he phases and she will still be human for her child. When the child is older the three of us will figure things out." he told them.
I felt Paul kiss the back of my neck. Oh hell.
Unknown POV
He stood watching and smiled at the turn of events.
Isabella was knocked up by one of the weird smelling ones that seems to always be around her. Even when she didn't know he was there.
His love had never smelled anything like them before, he had been very lucky to find a pair of shorts, looking like they had been torn off in a hurry, in the woods that smelled like the one holding onto Isabella at the moment with the scarred Cullen coven memeber. Must have been from a time when they were together because the area, even now, still had the scent of sex in the air. She had thought it might have something to to do with their tribe since they did live on a reservation.
He was confused why a human would mark another human though.
He was also confused what the scarred one meant by phasing.
He needed to inform his love.
He knew that this would please her greatly and he was looking forward to be rewarded.
It was time to put things into motion.
This seemed like the perfect thing to hurt all of them with.
Bella POV
I sat on the ground between Jasper and Paul watching as most of the mated pairs slow danced near the bonfire. Embry had his arms around Angela to help keep her warm on a blanket nearby. Carisle, Esme, Carmen and her mate were standing and talking faster than human ears could hear. Edward and Tanya were sitting in a tree nearby. Quil, Seth, and the twins were throwing a football to each other.
After Jasper's little announcement that Paul would mark me after I had the baby everyone seemed to relax and thought it might be a good idea to actually have the party. Everyone thought that a little fun was desperately needed. That they could worry about everything in the morning.
I put my head on Jasper's shoulder as he intertwined my fingers with his as he held my hand.
Shouldn't I be upset that he won't be changing me anytime in the near future or that he seems okay with me not be changed? I mean shouldn't I want to be like my mate but is he my only mate? If Paul marks me he will more than likely never imprint but if he imprints will the mark override the imprint? I know that Paul marking me will slow or stop my aging but on top of being unsure that I would be able to willingly leave my child alone for over a year during my newborn year if Jasper wants me to change, Jasper and I will never be able to make love and as much as I want him part of me is okay with never going all the way. Holy Crow I am confused.
Paul started rubbing my back and I felt a shiver of something run all through my body. Jasper brushed a stray hair out of my eyes and kissed my forehead. I felt the the same shiver go through my body again.
Would I be able to go years without being able to be fully intimate with Jasper? I think so. Could I go years being marked by Paul and not be fully intimate? No. What they hell is wrong with me? How the hell can I have a vampire mate but be pregnant by Paul? All of us thought that in order to have a baby it had to be with an imprint since a imprint is suppose to be the perfect mate and mother for future cubs. Oh holy crow, I am not looking forward to explaining this to dad or the elders. How the hell do I even start that conversation?
"Stop." Jasper and Paul said.
"Stop what?"
"Stop over thinking about it." Jasper said bringing the hand that he was holding to his mouth and pressed a light kiss on it. "We have plenty of time to figure this out."
"It's a big change for all of us." Paul said moving so that I was now sitting in his lap instead of on the ground and wrapped his arms around my waist so that both his hands were resting on my stomach.
"I actually was trying to figure out how we plan to tell Charlie and the elders about this." I said. The music had stopped or was between songs so everyone heard me. Not one person moved.
"Oh shit." Jake nearly yelled. He must be thinking how Billy is going to react. Wonder if I can convince him to help me hide all of dad's guns if I offer to do the same at his house.
"Dammit." Quil yelled.
"Fuck!" Sam, Leah and Seth exclaimed.
There were other oaths being said, some weren't in English.
"Telling Charlie Swan and all the elders, a bunch of old dudes, that Bella, someone most consider family, is knocked up by a none mated wolf that she had been seeing until Jasper was found to be her mate, who plans to mark her as his with her mate's agreement. Yeah I am seeing this go over very well." Peter exclaimed unable to keep a straight face as he burst out laughing.
"Who are the elders?" Garrett asked. Everyone was coming over to to stand near them.
"My grandfather, Old Quil." Quil said.
"Who was married to Molly Swan, who was Charlie's mother's cousin. I think I got that right." Brady said. I nodded that her did.
"My dad." Jake said.
"Who is Charlie's best friend and Bella's godfather." Leah said.
"Our mom is currently taking our dad's spot." Seth said.
"Both of them consider Bella another daughter since she saved Harry and is their good friend's daughter." Jared said.
"Never thought I would see a cold one look like they were about to faint." Sam said keeping his eye on Jasper.
"Think Charlie will give them a head start?" Embry said with a grin.
"No." Rose, Angela, Char, Leah and I all said.
Emmett burst out laughing and Peter started laughing harder.
"I have a question. How is this even possible?" Emily asked. "I mean, we have been told that the only way you can have kids is with your imprint. Kim, Angela, Claire, Leah and I are your imprints, the ones chosen by Taha Aki. Bella is mated to Jasper who is a cold one. She is not Paul's imprint, he would have imprinted on her a long time ago if she was. All of this should not be possible. Holy crow she's nothing but a bloody ..."
"Don't even think about finishing that sentence." Edward snarled at her. Sam quickly pulled Emily to him and hugged her to him. Glaring at Edward the entire time.
"Edward?" Carlisle said.
Edward spoke quickly and Sam surprised all of us by removing his hand from Emily. Jake quickly grabbed a hold of Leah. Emmett and Peter had a hold of Rose and Char.
"Okay, you are going to repeat that for those of us that don't understand super sonic speed." I demanded. I tried to stand up but neither Paul or Jasper were removing their hold on me.
"Tell her what her so called friend thinks of her." Irina snarled. Laurent was holding her back as well.
"Tell me, Edward. I deserve to know." I whispered. "Please."
"Emily was about to say that you are nothing but a slut and a pale face that should not be allowed to have the first pack child. She thinks that the elders will agree with her and make you terminate the pregnancy. She was thinking that right to have the first pack baby should belong to her since Sam is the only true Alpha." Edward said slowly.
"How the hell is Bells a slut?" Kim screamed in Emily's face. Love you too Kimmie.
"Please think about it, she was the one that convinced Paul to be in a purely sexual relationship with her, while she was in his lap. What guy is going to say no to that. Just so that she wouldn't be a virgin any longer. The things she has done with him when neither were in a committed relationship together is proof that she is slutty, like having oral sex or sex outside where anyone could see them. Hell, even her father caught them in the middle of having sex. The fact that she was sexual interested in Jasper while still having sex with Paul is proof as well. Look at the three of them right now. I bet she is planning on having a sexual relationship with both of them just because she can. Hell, it seemed to please her that most of the pack thought about her sexually at one time or another." Emily ranted.
Angela pulled herself out of Embry's hold and pushed Kim out of her way to punch Emily hard enough to knock her on her ass.
"She has been nothing but your friend since the day she met you. She defended you when she didn't have too and this is how you think of her." Sam snarled at his imprint. Emily slowly got to her feet holding her face.
"Sam, you know, all of you know, that I am right. She was nothing to us. A bloody vampire girl. I put up with her because of Jake but I thought when he imprinted on Leah, your responsibility to her would be done but no the little tramp that she is hooked her claws into Paul. She is a danger to our tribe but I was nice to her for you. I should be the one pregnant right now not her. I know if we try again..." she started.
"STOP! Right now I can't even look at you. I think it might be time for you go visit your family for a few weeks. Maybe by than I can stand the thought of touching you." Sam told her.
"What about the imprint? You know that you can't be away from me for that long." she said smugly.
"I'll deal with it. Right now my wolf wants to finish what he started so it would wise to keep your mouth shut and return to the house to pack." Sam all but ordered before he turned his back on her. Emily looked around at the others but none of them would help her. She might be the Alpha's imprint but I was a sister to all of them.
"We'll bring her home." Jared said as he and Kim steered her to the woods.
I looked at Paul and he reluctantly let me go. I stood and wrapped my arms around Sam. He lifted me in a hug and buried his face in my neck so no one could see the tears as he cried.
"Why am I not surprised that she thinks she deserves to have the first pack baby?" Angela said.
"I know the feeling." Quil stated.
"Maybe some time away from the pack will help put her head on straight. I never knew she felt that way about me." I said wiping the tears off Sam's face before any of the pack could tell that he had been crying.
"Hell." Leah said.
"What?" Jake asked.
"Just thought if she thinks Bella is a slut. What does she really think about the rest of us?" Leah said softly. Everyone looked over at Edward who suddenly looked uneasy.
"She was mostly thinking about Bella. I think she has more issues with sex than I every did. She felt like it was something she had to do in order to have a child nothing else. That it was a job. The fact that every female here seems to enjoy sex or making love was wrong to her. I'm sorry Sam but I don't think this is something that a short visit is going to help." he said not meeting anyone's eye.
"We'll deal with it." Sam said looking uneasy.
"We still have to figure out how we are going to tell Charlie and the others about Bells being knocked up." Jake said.
"I think the three of us will tell dad first. Than all of us can figure out where to go from there." I said.
"I agree." Jasper said. He stood and placed himself in front of me to kiss me softly on the lips.
"Ditto." Paul said. Standing behind me, he once again wrapped his arms around my waist resting his hands on my stomach while nipping softly at the back of my neck. She might have been right about me thinking about a sexual relationship with the two of them. For some reason I don't think they would be upset about the idea. What did these two talk about for two hours?
