A/N Guess what? I got this chapter done early for you guys. Thanks to OoJasper'sAngeloO for her beta work. Just a warning, this went in a whole new direction than I thought it would. Hope you enjoy.
I do not own Twilight or any of the characters.
Major's POV
It has been two days since Ethan and his family got here and it finally happened. I had realized the second it left my mouth what I had said, but Bella didn't catch it at the time. She did this mornin' the second she woke up. I had told her,"You're not big as a cow, yet."
She woke up and immediately pushed me out of the bed. She started screamin' at me about the fact that I had called her fat. The problem was that she is fat and her belly is growin' so fuckin' fast that even Ethan is wonderin' what's goin' on. She took a few minutes to have a human moment, and then came out cryin' because I had said she was fat. I'm beginnin' to hate these fuckin' hormones that are messin' with her emotions.
She said that she felt so fuckin' ugly and that it might be better if I found someone else. That pissed me off, but Beth came and told me how I needed to handle this. Bella needed reassurance that I still found her attractive and that I still wanted her. I have to admit that she is glorious in her anger and a huge fuckin' turn on for me.
So with some assurance from Ethan that I wouldn't hurt the baby I took her gently in my arms and made love to her. Everyone left so that she would feel better about screamin' my name when she came. Yeah, I'm that good!
I believe that I created a monster after that. She had three things she wanted to do and in no certain order. She wanted to sleep, eat and fuck. She would wake up in the middle of the night and want me to fuck her. I had to be careful of course and we had to find different positions that were more comfortable for her. Some, no matter what, hurt her when I entered her so those were out and of course I couldn't have her underneath me.
At first her ridin' me worked, but then it was hittin' something in her that hurt and the fact that she had to do most of the work wasn't cuttin' it so we found some other ways that did work. Fuckin' her from behind seemed the best one and was both of our favorites, but sadly that all only lasted about a week and a half.
She had become huge and it was beginnin' to wear on her just to walk around. Her back began to hurt her all the time and so most of my time with her was spent rubbin' her back. Beth explained that not only would it help with the discomfort, but it would let my mate know that I cared. And I did. I was still tryin' to get ahold of the fact that I had had a part in creatin' a life. That a tiny creature called a baby was goin' to be dependin' on me for comfort, love, health and protection.
I spent hours talkin' to Ethan about what bein' a father felt like. He kept tellin' me not to worry, that when the baby was born everything would just come naturally. The most important thing to remember was that the child would need my love and I know that because of my mate, I now understood what that means. Everything was just fine, until a couple of days later.
I was rubbin' Bella's back while talkin' with everyone. Carly had talked to both of us and helped us to understand what its like as a hybrid to grow up. She talked of her needs, her wants and the fact that she still felt her father was a little too overprotective. He wouldn't let her hunt anything other than deer. I told her that if I was her father that she probably wouldn't be huntin' at all. I'd bring her the blood she needed.
"Like hell you will! If we have a girl I can promise you that she'll be hunting right alongside of us. Stupid macho male vampires. Think they can tell us girls what we can and cannot do!" Bella practically snarled out.
"But it is our job to protect the weaker sex and lets face it; even a female vampire is weaker than a male." Ethan spoke up.
Beth started growlin' at her mate and even his daughter started to growl. Then Bella looked at me and I knew shit was gonna hit something, probably me, "Is that your opinion as well?"
I wasn't gonna fuckin' lie to her, "Well, yeah it is, but only because its the truth. Females are weaker than males."
She looked at Peter then and him bein' the asshole he is just held up his hands in surrender. He wasn't gonna get caught up in this, coward. Bella then stood up and asked the girls to please help her up the stairs. I asked her if she wanted me to come with her and she said, "Fuck no! You guys can stay down here and measure your dicks to see who has the biggest. Us poor weak females will just hobble on up the stairs and try not to get into trouble. Come on girls, the shits getting too deep in here."
With that even Char got up and the ladies left us men down here alone.
Bella's POV
I can't believe those egotistical assholes. Saying shit like that, even if it is true, but that isn't why I wanted to come up here. I wasn't feeling well. I had found that I could really block my emotions better from Jasper and I didn't want him to know. He worries about me all the time and while I love that he cares so much I don't want to add more to his plate. The girls understood when I wanted to be alone with them. Carly seemed to be able to tell when I needed to get away and had always found that by having a mini argument we could get away without the men wanting to follow us.
We heard the men shout up that they were taking the Major hunting as he was trying to come upstairs. He had a problem with not being able to see me. He would kind of lose it if he couldn't sometimes, especially after a fight. He never really fought the guys from taking him out though. While he didn't like it, he knew I needed some space every once in a while.
I had been feeling the baby kicking and while it hurts, the venom is keeping my bones from breaking. I'm so fucking glad that I have these girls here to help me and go with the flow when I need a break. I didn't want Jasper to know that I was feeling bad, as in my body is hurting, especially my belly right now. Ethan said that I had at least another two weeks, but it didn't feel that long to me for some reason.
Some things happened this time while the men were out. It was Beth and Char who first caught on. Char, because she remembered her human mother going through what I was apparently going through and Beth because she knew what to look for. Without saying a word to Ethan he examined me after he got back and agreed with Beth that I needed to be put on bed rest until the birth. I had gained seventy-five pounds.
The next week was torture for both Jasper and I. We both followed Ethan's orders and I stayed in bed only getting up long enough to use the restroom was which more often than I was comfortable with. Jasper was very sweet and very worried at the same time. I couldn't handle even taking a shower by myself so I was either helped with a bath or given a sponge bath.
I continued to drink my cocktails, but I was up to eight to ten glasses a day now. Jasper made sure that it was only his venom that I drank. It hurt to move as it felt like the baby was up under my ribs as well as pushing down on my bladder. Some times it was hard to breathe.
Peter, Char and Jasper were starting to get on my nerves. They all hovered around me. I knew that they were just wanting to take care of me and I truly loved them for it, but sometimes I just wanted to be left alone. I didn't feel very well and I have a hard time being nice when I don't feel good.
On the last week of my pregnancy everyone was on pins and needles, even the girls. If I so much as cried out they wanted to have me prepared to deliver. I would have the delivery on our bed which would then have a new mattress put on it. While there wasn't really a nursery done up as Beth had said that Carly grew too fast to even need a crib, we did have a room ready for later.
On the day that Ethan said that I had a few more days left at the very least was when it happened. He had done his exam early that morning and said that I was doing well. I had eaten my lunch which was a sandwich. I usually took a nap after a quick bath. Jasper would help me clean up and then put a simple gown on me. Nothing else fit anymore.
I told him that I wanted my hair braided to keep it from getting more knots in it. He had spent almost thirty minutes this morning getting them out. He sat me on a chair and got behind me to braid it. After that I wanted to brush my teeth so he stood me up and gave me everything I needed and quickly made his way to get the sheets changed for me.
I felt a sharp pain and then a gushing. I screamed and suddenly not only Jasper, but everyone else was in the bathroom. Jasper yelled for everyone to get out so he could carry me to the bed. They left, but didn't go far. They all stayed in the bedroom except for Beth who was helping me. She took charge and had Jasper get a clean gown for me and then asked Carly to clean up the mess I had made.
Stupidly I told her that I would clean it up, but Jasper growled at me. What was I thinking? Jasper quickly removed the ruined gown and redressed me. He carried me to the bed and laid me down. There were no covers as I wouldn't be needing any until after the delivery and then the bed would be changed.
Apparently I had been in labor for a while and hadn't known. I only felt some pressure, but there was no pain at all after the sharp pain. I could feel the contractions, but nothing else. Ethan was about to check to see if I had dilated any, but of course Jasper has to show his stupid overprotective shit and growled at Ethan. So Beth did the checking for him and I was almost ready. I had four centimeters left to go before I could start to push.
Char, Carly and Beth were allowed to stay with me, but Peter and Ethan were thrown out. Carly was just holding my hand while Beth played doctor and Char was going and fetching whatever was needed at any given moment. When she brought out a stack of towels and blankets Jasper thought she was crazy, but he didn't know what was going on either.
Beth made Jasper get on the bed behind me and rub my back. She explained that the more relaxed I was the better it would be for the delivery to be easy. Beth then told Jasper that Ethan needed to be the one to do the actual delivery as Char, Carly and herself would be busy. I had no clue what they were talking about.
Ethan came in and brought me a large glass of my cocktail and told me I would need it for the birth and it would probably be my last until I was turned. I was so fucking glad that Jasper made everyone hunt everyday even if they weren't thirsty. There would be blood and there was already a lot even before the birth.
Ethan gave everyone a job, Jasper's was to keep me calm and pull my legs up when it was time to push. Beth and Char were to stay at my sides to help with whatever might be needed. Carly was there to hand Ethan any instruments he might need. Peter's was to stay outside and be on the lookout for anything or anyone headed our way.
Jasper still didn't like Ethan being the one to deliver, but he held his instincts back. Finally it was time to start pushing. I was to push for five seconds and then relax for five. After a few times of this then I would push during a contraction. I guess nobody had bothered to tell Jasper what to expect during delivery, but he had the fucking balls to open his mouth to tell me, "Bella, push. You need to push, why aren't you pushin'?"
My response, "I am pushing you fucking asshole. If it wasn't for your fucking ass I wouldn't be in this mess. Don't you tell me to push. Use your fucking gift to feel what I'm feeling and then sit there and keep your mouth shut!"
Although I still wasn't really feeling any pain, I was tired and just really wanted to be left the fuck alone right now. Instead I get Ethan telling me to start pushing with the next contraction. I did as instructed and this time I felt the head come down. Everyone started yelling about seeing the head that was covered in hair.
A minute later I was pushing again and our son was born. Head full of curly hair, but since it was wet we couldn't tell yet what color it was. He was beautiful, but then he did look like what I imagined his father looked like when he was born. Jasper was just staring at him with a smile on his face. He reached around me to touch our son and he grabbed his daddy's finger.
I'm not sure what happened next. All I remember is suddenly feeling extreme pain, screaming and lots and lots of blood. The last thing I heard before everything when black is Ethan yelling, "Take the baby, I'm losing her!". . .
