A/N: Once again, thanks to anyone who has alerted/favorited my story. It truly means a lot to me. I would love to get more reviews. Seeing as I've only gotten one and we are already nine chapters in. This chapter is kind of a filler. Anyways, on with the story.
BPOV (Bella):
Yesterday was one of the most embarrassing moments of my life. First I had to admit to my uncle, cousin and a bunch of his friends that I was going to the gynecologist and then almost have to sit through the talk with my uncle, who by the way was just as embarrassed as I was and to top it all off Sue showed up a few hours later to see if I had any questions for her. After telling her repeatedly that I wasn't doing that, or anything else of that nature, she finally agreed to leave but not before telling me if I had any questions to call her and then she, not so discretely, left me a handful of condoms on my dresser. She informed me that it was just a precaution and that it would stay between the two of us. I don't think my face has ever been redder. The moment she walked out of my room I locked the door in fear that she might have something else to say or give me.
Now I am currently in my room finding somewhere to hide these things where no one can find them and hopefully I will forget that they even exist. I decided to shove them in an empty shoe box and then put it in the back of my closet. Out of sight, out of mind. After doing that, I decided to go find myself something to eat because I was always starving these days. I'm half way through my pregnancy and I'm amazed at how my belly has just popped. It seems like it happened over night. Sometimes I wish that I could share this with my family but then I remember the events that led to this situation and I can't bring myself to say anything.
I walk into the kitchen and find Jacob and Seth rummaging through the cabinets and fridge. If they weren't male I would think they were pregnant too. At that thought I let out a small giggle, which alerts the boys to my presence. They both turn to look at me and give me a smile. I was slowly getting more comfortable around Seth. He seemed to hang out with Jacob a lot. I could tell that he really looked up to him. He probably thought of Jacob as a big brother or something.
"Hey Bells." Seth and Jacob greet me at the same time. Jacob comes over to give me a hug and Seth follows behind him. I be sure not to get too close when he hugs me because I don't want him to feel my baby bump. I may have to start on the one armed hugs soon.
"Can I?" Seth asks me. I hesitate for a moment then I nod my head and he slowly comes forward and embraces me and again I'm careful not to let him too close to my belly. Normally I would shy away from Jacob's friends but there's something about Seth that just makes me feel comfortable around him. I think it's because I've always wanted another sibling. I'm starting to see him as a little brother. He's always so funny when I hear him with the other guys and sometimes I look at him and just see innocence. It's hard not to like the kid. It's amazing how he knew to ask me if it was okay for him to hug me. I liked him even more after that.
"So, are you two hungry? I was just going to make myself something to eat. I can make enough for you too if you want." I told them while gathering the ingredients for tacos. Yum, tacos. They both gave me huge grins while shaking their heads vigorously. I just laughed at them. "Alright, outta my kitchen and I'll call you when it's done." I ordered them pointing towards the doorway.
"Okay, mom…" Jacob said while walking out of the kitchen. I froze for a second. Letting that thought sink in. In a few months I'm actually going to be a mom. Wow. After my little moment I set to work on making the tacos.
About twenty minutes later everything was set on the table and ready to be eaten.
"Seth, Jacob foods ready." I yelled knowing full well that the word food would have them out of their seats faster than anything else. And sure enough a few seconds later the two of them were fighting to get through the doorway. "Jacob, let Seth through. There's plenty of food for all of us." I told them. At least I hope there is. With that we dug in and started eating.
"Man Bells, these are awesome." Seth said with a small smile on his face. He was really enjoying these tacos but then again so was I.
"Yeah Bells, these are great. I don't think there will be any left over's." Jacob said through a mouthful of food.
"Jacob Ephraim Black, I know your parents taught you not to talk with your mouth full." I scolded him. Seth started laughing and I silenced him with a look. He looked at me sheepishly.
"Sorry Bells." Jacob replied after swallowing his food first.
"It's alright but remember your manners next time. I swear the way you and your friends eat I would think you were raised by a pack of wolves or something." I told him while concentrating on making another plate of tacos.
JPOV:
Seth and I had just come from Sam's house. We were trying to think of ways to help Bella. Every time the guys would come over she would avoid looking at them. I guess she just figured if she ignored them they would ignore her but that's not the case. Everyone already loves her and wants to help her. Although, Paul and Embry had to let the rest of the pack in on the embarrassing events that happened yesterday at my house. I don't think I've ever seen Bells any redder than when she announced to everyone that she was going to the gynecologist, or as Paul put it the crotch doc. I don't know where he comes up with this stuff. I was nice enough to not mention what happened later that night when Sue came over. Although it's only a matter of time before they see it for themselves.
Seth and I were busy looking for some food when I heard a small giggle. I turned to see Bells.
"Hey Bells." Seth and I greeted. I walked over to her and gave her a hug. I could feel Seth following behind me.
"Can I?" Seth asks her. I wait to see how this is going to play out. She hesitates for a moment and then nods her head. He slowly steps forward and embraces her in a hug. I am shocked that she actually let him touch her. I'll have to tell my dad and the guys about this. I hope this is progress.
"So, are you two hungry? I was just going to make myself something to eat. I can make enough for you too if you want." Bells said while gathering a bunch of ingredients. Seth and I both nod our heads while grinning at her. She laughs at us. "Alright, outta my kitchen and I'll call you when it's done." she ordered us while pointing towards the doorway.
"Okay, mom…" I say while walking out of the kitchen. Once Seth and I are in the living room we go and sit on the couch.
"Can you believe she actually let me give her a hug?" Seth said excitedly. That kid really loves her like a sister.
"I know. I was shocked that she did. I half expected her to do anything to avoid you touching her." I told him honestly.
"Yeah me too." Seth replied. "We should tell your dad. I think he will want to know. The guys too I suppose."
"Yeah, I was thinking the same thing." I told him while flipping through the channels on the TV. With that we sat in silence waiting for Bells to call us.
About twenty minutes later we heard Bells yell.
"Seth, Jacob foods ready." She yelled. The moment I heard food I was up and heading towards the kitchen. Seth was right on my heels. We were fighting to get through the doorway when Bells spoke.
"Jacob, let Seth through. There's plenty of food for all of us." She scolded me. I let him by and then followed him in. There was stuff for tacos on the table. Yum, tacos.
"Man Bells, these are awesome." Seth said with a small smile on his face. I think he was enjoying these as much as I was.
"Yeah Bells, these are great. I don't think there will be any left over's." I said through a mouthful of food.
"Jacob Ephraim Black, I know your parents taught you not to talk with your mouth full." Bells scolded me. Seth started laughing but Bells silenced him with a look. Ha, serves him right. He looked at her sheepishly.
"Sorry Bells." I replied after swallowing my food first. Don't want to get yelled at again.
"It's alright but remember your manners next time. I swear the way you and your friends eat I would think you were raised by a pack of wolves or something." She told me while concentrating on making another plate of tacos. It's a good thing to because I froze for a split second thinking she realized what we were. I looked over at Seth and he looked like I did. We shook it off and went back to eating.
Once we were finished, Seth and I offered to clean up because Bells said she was tired and wanted to take a nap. I swear that girl loves her naps. She disappeared up the stairs and we set out to clean up. True to our word, there were no left over's, which meant all we had to do was the dishes.
Dad, Sue and Harry came in a few minutes before we finished cleaning. I didn't even realize he wasn't here.
"Hey kids, what's up?" dad asked.
"Am I actually seeing these two doing dishes?" Sue asked once she walked in. I rolled my eyes.
"Nothing much. We're just doing the dishes since Bells cooked. She said she was tired and wanted a nap so we offered to do them." I replied.
"What is with her and her naps?" dad asked. I shrugged my shoulders because I honestly had no clue.
"Guess what?" Seth said excitedly.
SPOV (Seth):
"Guess what?" I asked excitedly.
"What son?" dad asked me.
"Bells let me give her a hug." I said proudly. Mom, dad and Billy all looked shocked.
"Really?" Mom asked. I nodded my head yes.
"Yeah, Jacob gave her a hug so I just asked her if I could. She hesitated for a second but then nodded her head. I just went slow so I didn't scare her and she didn't freak or anything." I told them.
"Wow." Mom, dad and Billy said.
"I know." I replied.
"Well, we better be heading out. We'll see you later Billy, Jacob." Mom said. I gave Billy a hug and Jake an arm punch and we were out the door.
"You seem pretty happy." Mom said. I nodded my head.
"I am. I just can't believe that Bells actually let me hug her. It was so awesome mom. She wasn't scared of me or anything. She even made eye contact with me. I think that's a big step. Don't you?" I asked her.
"Yes I do. That's great." Mom said. That was the end of the conversation but I couldn't stop feeling happy.
I saw Bells like an older sister. I mean, I know I have Leah but come on…it's Leah. Enough said. I love my sister but sometimes she can just be a bitch. What? It's the truth. I see her as family and I know all the guys feel the same way and we protect our family. I was really pissed knowing that something bad happened to her. No one should have to suffer and it hurts seeing her like this. I can only hope that she'll make more progress. I'm going to do anything I can to help her.
E/N: Two chapters in one day. I think that deserves some love. Don't you? Please review and take the poll. Thanks for reading.
