The next day I went with Edward to see those horrible dogs. I told them my gruesome story, almost fainting twice, and when I finished they all starred at me in horror. Even Edward. Sam straightened up and pulled his face together.
"Bella," He said carefully glaring at Edward. "I now understand what happened, but I'm afraid that when you have the child we will have to keep it." I growled at him, and for a human, it sounded pretty menacing. I wrapped my hands over my stomach and Edward wrapped his hands around my torso. We took up a defensive stance together, like we were one. Our minds seemed in tune and the only thing on our minds was to protect.
"Not on any of your lives!" I almost screamed. Emily was there, and her eyes were angry marbles.
"We arn't asking your permission." Sam growled back. "You took one of ours, so we get to take one of yours, and that baby won't fit in with vampires! Even if it's not a werewolf it has werewolf blood. It will never fit in." I stamped my foot in defiance. And was about to retort when someone cut in for me.
"Damn it Sam! It's not your child to worry about!" I was surprised by Emily's sudden interruption. I starred at her in surprise. She almost took the words from my mouth, but there were much too kind. Was it possibly jealousy getting the better of her?
"It's blood that I'm worried about!" He shouted back, his eyes black marbles now.
"Fight, fight, fight!" Embryo, Quil, and Paul chanted. Jared smacked a hand to his forehead, and Leah and Seth Clearwater looked to each other and shrugged, then started chanting too. I gaped at them, almost wanting to laugh. Sam wouldn't fight Emily the way he would with the others, would he?
His back was shaking, and so was the rest of his tall dark frame. He abruptly turned and growled at his pack instead. They all shut up after that. He growled at Emily one more time and turned back to me. I must have had a very odd expression on my face by then, because everyone started to howl with laughter, all except for me and Edward.
"Will you idiots stop laughing at my expense?" I shouted, very annoyed. Edward was very subtle rubbing my tense shoulders, and I still had my hands on my stomach.
"That's right," Edward added. "Were here to make peace, not to laugh at poor Bella." I almost wanted to hit him too, he made me sound pathetic! Finally, Sam recomposed himself again. He continued.
"What I don't understand is why Jacob did that, and how he managed to keep it a secret. He did change into wolf from, but we never heard his thoughts once. Not one thought. How is that possible?"
"Yeah, I doubt it's coincidence!" I heard Paul mumble. I was surprised he hadn't lost his temper.
"That makes no sense." I butt into the conversation head on. "But I have a thought." The pack looked at me, furiously curious.
"Well?" Seth coaxed at me. "What is it?"
"Well, when a person is in depression, their thoughts can become blurred and incoherent." I said quietly, knowing that this would hurt Edward, a lot.
"We'd noticed that before." Embry cut in.
"Yeah." I nodded. "Well maybe Jacob's went so deep after that, that he wasn't thinking at all any more. It could happen, I suppose." Sam nodded, thinking.
"That may explain it, but thanks to a certain blood sucker, we will never know for sure." Me and Edward's defensive stance recomposed it's self once more. Bad move. It reminded Sam about why we were here.
"If you don't let us keep the baby," He continued. "Then we don't give you those two other vampires." I gasped in horror. He must be referring to Rosalie and Emmett.
"How are you keeping them locked up?" I asked. I though vampires were super strong?
"That's not for you to have concerns about."
"Are you starving them of animal blood.?" Edward said between gritted teeth.
"We sure as hell arn't giving them human blood!" Sam spat back.
"That's not answering the question." I pointed out.
"No, we arn't." Sam answered, not looking ashamed. I wanted to rip him and the other wolves to shreds. How dare they?
"That's just cruel." Edward said, I almost laughed. His words were too nice. "And your not getting this baby. He added.
"Again, we are not asking permission." Sam repeated.
"Well then if there is no room for compromise, then we shall just leave." Edward growled.
"Fine." With that, Edward picked me up and took me from Emily's house in a blur.
"Oh god, this is horrible." I sobbed. The cork was released from the bottle the second we left the house. I was like a popped balloon. "It's all my fault."
"None of this is your fault, Bella. None at all." Edward said in a strong voice. I was eased.
"Okay."
A/N: I was gonna write more, but I decided to start something where you get a blip of how Bella is doing every 3 weeks. There are ABOUT 40 weeks in all (9 months) and assume about 3 have already gone by. I promise they won't go on long, just really quick stuff. It will go by in 1-4 chapters. I almost promise. Hope you enjoyed. Maybe I'll do all the weeks in one big chapter, a nice special treat if you'd like. Also, I want to know what you think the werewolves will do. They obviously won't stand for "No.".
