A/N So that no one gets confused-This story started six months after Edward left Bella(September + 6 months =Early April) then things moved slow until a couple chapters ago were we jumped 3 weeks (so last chapter we were in May) Now I am from New England and we usually graduate second or third week of June(So that's the timeline i am sticking to) Hope that helps :) Sorry this has taken me so long. Did a lot of scraping and redoing this chapter on top of trying to finish other things to free me up for this.
Bella Pov
I threw my bag into the truck and got in. I am tired of waiting for him to come to me.
To make everyone feel better, mainly my dad, I agreed to have an exam to make sure. Luckily there is a doctor in the know. nice guy, a little on the weird side but I so wasn't having Carlisle giving me an exam.
This is going to be the first pack baby so no one is completely sure what to expect. The doctor found out that Sam was right, I had been seven weeks along when I saw him, now I am almost twelve weeks. Billy and Sue have been going through the old journals to see what happened during other pregnancies, the only problem was those were of imprints not a no-imprint.
Not surprisingly, Renee took the news just like I thought she would. Lots of crying, telling me that she was way too young to be a grandmother and decided that I was ruining my life. Luckily Phil and my dad had able to talk her out of coming to visit before graduation.
Hopefully I have something better figured out to tell her when she shows up. Besides moving to La Push and taking online classes for school.
Rose, Char and Irina have become constant at the house. It's nice to be the one being taken care of. Making sure that I eat right and all that jazz. Charlie has been enjoying the meals that Char has been cooking. Angela got me more pregnancy books than I have ever seen. I have a felling that she, Leah and Kim bought out the entire section.
Peter, Emmett and Laurent visit at times but Jasper hasn't shown up at all. According to Char, he has been staying away to get himself use to the fact that we aren't together anymore.
It seems that Paul took a page out of his book since he has been doing the same thing. Leah and Jake think he's being a dumbass but part of me is thankful to both of them giving me space.
I had talked to Edward a little while ago to see where their heads were at but he refused to tell me anything. I just hope that they understand why I am not with either of them. I do care about them but...deciding things that affect me without my say so is not something a mate would do.
They are all still doing the training with the others. According to Embry, no one is allowing Paul and Jasper go against each other just to be safe. The one time they let them spar it ended badly, it took everyone to tear them apart.
Since each seem to blame the other at least that is what Quil thinks.
Emily was still with her parents, seems things were worse than most of us knew...than I knew.
I have been calling and texting, trying to get him to talk to me but it seems that Sam really isn't talking to anyone lately. I found out, from Jake, that he is still trying to convince the Council to allow him to try to break the imprint. No one is telling me, Kim or Angela why he and Old Quil took off over two weeks ago but Sam was still showing up for training, at least that was what Char and Peter told me.
The two of them have only been back for a few days, I am tired of being in the dark.
I pull the truck into Sam's driveway. He is going to talk to me one way or another.
"Bells." Sam says opening the door before I can even knock.
"You look like hell." I say brushing past him and entering his house. He really does look awful, like he hasn't slept or eaten in days or maybe weeks. The place was a mess, it looked like the FBI or something had raided it. "What the hell happened?" I ask turning back to him.
"Seems while I was ...away, Emily sent a friend, I think, to come and get the rest of her stuff. I'm guessing that whoever she sent doesn't like me so..." he laughs slightly. Finding a clear spot he sits down on his couch. He leaned his head back to rest it on the back of the couch.
"Okay, what the hell is going on? I have barely seen you since we told the council about this." I say placing a hand on my not so flat stomach. "Talk to me."
"This has..."
"Sam. Just stop. We've always been able to talk. What is going on?" I say sitting down next to him and placing my hand on his arm.
"Alright." he takes a deep breath. "Maybe I should tell you what happened when I got back here after we told your dad and Billy about the baby."
Flashback
Sam Pov
I walked into the house surprised that Jared was still there. I could hear Emily doing something further back in the house.
"Why is she stil here?" I growl.
I want that bitch gone~Alpha
"She refused to pack or do anything when we got here. She expected you to walk through the door any minute tell her that you changed your mind or something like that, she really thought that you weren't serious about having her leave. When it became clear that you weren't walking through the door anytime soon she started throwing a hissfit and began packing. I sent Kim back to our place before she went for her throat. A majority of the things she has been saying were pissing her off. Hell, she's pissing me and my wolf off." he tells me.
Know the feeling.
"I was hoping that she would be gone by the time I got here." I mumbled not really wanting to deal with her and trying to ignore my wolf. The next words that I would have said are caught in my throat when I hear her muttering.
"Stupid. That stupid little fucking whore, dammit she is such a fucking bitch. I am suppose to be the one that has the first pack child. Me. Not that little tramp, that slut. It is my right as the True Alpha imprint. It's always been my right. Should have kept my mouth shut. It would have been so easy to invite her over and slip some of that herb into her drink. She wouldn't have even known until she miscarried. But noooo I have to blow up around that stupid mind fucker who lets my thoughts about her known."
I know that I am growling but I don't really care.
WANT GONE!~Alpha
Emily comes into the room with two packed bags.
"Sam. So you finally decided to come home? How long have you been here?" she asks coldly.
KEEP TALKING~Alpha growls
"Long enough to hear you wish that you hadn't spoken up so that you could have given something to Bells to cause her to have a miscarriage. Is that what you did with our baby?" I snarl.
She had to have access to the herb for a reason.
"Isabella. Of course. She comes before me. She's always before me isn't she? Why am I am not surprised your first thought is about her." throwing her bags on the ground, she crosses her arms and glares at me. "Tell me Sam, is she better in bed than me? Is that why you've been cheating on me with her?"
I look at her in shock. Jared stares at her dumbfounded. I could hear Alpha growling in my head.
"What? You think I didn't know. You've been lusting after her since before the Cullens left, is that the real reason you were planning on keeping Jacob from her? So you could have a chance?" she snarks.
Jared places himself in front of me when I start walking toward her. I caught a glance of myself in the mirror. I could tell that I was loosing control when I noticed that my eyes were almost glowing yellow.
"I've heard you, you know. You have called her name out, not mine, more than once while we have been together. I've heard you calling out her name when you're doing that in the shower." she turned up her nose as if it disgusted her. "Hell, you even mumble her name in your sleep. How long has it been going on, a few months? Longer? Were you already sleeping with her the first time I met her?" she nearly screaming by this point.
LET ME OUT~ALPHA
I feel Jared fingers digging into my skin, trying to push me back.
"I know that you don't think about her in the brotherly way you try to claim. Tell me did it upset you every time Paul would smell like her during meeting? Did it piss you off to know that he had sex with her before he walked in the door?"
The sound of my growls were echoing though the house.
"Emily, what are you doing?" Jared asked not even turning to look at her.
"I want the truth. Who is the actual father of that baby? You or Paul? Is that the reason you haven't touched me in over a month?"
"I have never slept with Bells." I say through clenched teeth.
"I don't believe you. I've smelled her on you. That scent that she always wears sticks to your skin. There have been nights I have nearly choked on her scent."
"I am not going to justify your paranoid thoughts. Its time for you to leave." I state feeling the wolf clawing under my skin.
"Not done packing." she says before turning and going back into the bedroom.
Jared struggles when I go to follow her, snarling when my phone starts ringing.
"That's when you called. I got out of there before I did attack her." Sam tells me.
"I..." How the hell do you respond to that?
"Yeah." he says with a laugh.
I bite my lip trying to think of something to say that will help.
"It's okay Bells. You don't have to say anything." he says softly.
I slid my hand down his arm to place it on his and intertwined our fingers so that we were holding hands and turn slightly so that I can place my head on his shoulder. Sometimes actions are better than words.
He laughs softly and kisses the top of my head.
"She was going to cause a miscarriage with a herb?" I ask confused.
"Yeah, I talked to Sue and Old Quil. The herb that she had was in a tea form. According to Sue its main purpose is a way help prevent pregnancy, kinda like being on the pill but if given to a pregnant woman there were cases that happened to cause miscarriage. I talked to Kim, it seems that Emily has been giving her and Angela that tea every time they would visit."
"She was trying to make sure that she was the first to have a baby." I whisper. How could none of us seen this?
"Yeah, I didn't tell Kim why I was asking about it. Didn't want to hurt her knowing that Emily was doing that to her."
"How did Jared react?"
"Nearly went after Emily. Luckily I told him around the rest of the pack...Emily is no longer pat of the pack. All of decided that it would be safe if she stays away."
"What about the imprint?"
He just shakes his head and lets go of my hand to wrap his arm around my shoulders so that I could cuddle into him. I rest my head on his chest and trace my fingers up and down the inside of his arm.
We sat there for a while just holding each other in silence while the information sank in.
"I don't get it." I whisper.
"Get what?"
"Why people think that we slept together or are sleeping together? I talked to Edward after we told the council about me and he let me know that a lot of people think that we have been together or are together. Irina admitted to me that she believed we were sneaking around together."
"I don't know." he says honestly. "It's strange finding out that so many people thought that I would betray my imprint, including my imprint."
"You know, when I started spending time with you and the pack, according to Lauren and Jessica, I was hooking up with all of you. Hell most of the school still thinks I am. I am so thankful that school is almost over. The rumors are getting awful now that people know about the baby." I tell him sighing softly.
"How bad is it?" he asks rubbing his hand up and down my back.
"Apparently, I have absolutely no idea who the father is or who it could be. There is actually a bet going around the school on who the baby daddy is."
"You are kidding me." he says not believing me.
"I wish. Right now it's between you, Paul and Quil. You and Paul are tied for first." I tell him.
He gets up from the couch and starts pacing in front of me. "This kind of shit is being said around your school."
"Yeah, I know that Lauren or Jessica started it. Angela and I just ignore it. Graduation is just around the corner and I will never have to deal with them again."
"Bella..."
"Sam, I came to talk about you not me." I said getting up and going over to place my hand on his arm, hoping to keep him calm.
"I don't even know what to feel anymore. I want to... I actually hate my imprint. I loathe her even my wolf wants hates her. He wants her dead. Old Quil has been trying to help me."
"Helping you how?" I ask as he moves away and starts to pace in front of me.
"Meditation...distance...anything he can think of I have been trying. There has to be a way to break the imprint." he says running his fingers through his hair.
"Does that include staying as your wolf and not talking to anyone?" I ask.
"Somewhat..."
"Sam?"
"The wolf barely wants anything to do with her. I haven't even wanted to see her but I feel this pull to go see her. I want this shit done. I hate that none of us had a choice. You know part of her was right about me being jealous of Paul." he says as he turns away from me.
I think I just stopped breathing.
"What do you mean?"
"I was jealous of him having the chance to do what the hell he wanted. He didn't care if he imprinted at all. I didn't care that the two of you were sleeping together honestly I was glad you turned to Paul over that Newton dweeb. But it bugged me more that it should have when I could smell you on him. I hated the fact that you were going to get hurt again when he imprinted. Your pack, Bells. I hated knowing that there wasn't anything I could do..."
"Sam.." I said softly go over to wrap my arms around his waist in a back hug.
"I hate that she was right..." he whispers.
"Sam..." I say softly as he turns to face me.
"I don't see you as a sister." he tells me, I glance up and notice that his eyes have gone yellow.
A distressed howl breaks through air. He growls and leans into me, placing his forehead against mine.
"GO!" I say pushing him to the door. I watch as he strips his clothes as he runs to the woods. Biting my lip, I wrap my arms around my waist and lean against the door frame.
As if I didn't have enough to deal with. Let's add another guy to the problem.
