Leah's POV
I wake up to the sound of banging in the kitchen so Bella must be up. I walk into the kitchen to see Bella and Paul and her kids making breakfast with the girls sitting in their high chairs eating cheerios. Bella looks completely different than she did last night and I want to ask her about everything but I can't with the kids in here.
Justin runs up to me and holds his arms up for me to pick him up then tells me they are making chocolate chip pancakes and bacon and eggs with cheese in them. He's all excited so I play excited but for some reason it sounds disgusting.
"Hey sleepy head, how do you sleep through Chloe screaming her head off down the hall?" Bella asks me amused and I just shrug because I never sleep through the girls crying. I've just been sleeping really hard lately.
After every eats their breakfast and I push mine around on my plate with Paul looking at me weird Bella sends the kids outside so we can talk, Paul takes the girls and follows them.
"I told him everything Lee, from the flirting to the one night to me feeling bored and being pregnant. And he was hurt, so hurt. I wish he would have yelled at me or something but he just said I need time Bella; I'm going to go stay with Embry for the night. I told him he could stay I would come here and then he begged me not to go because I was crying. He actually dropped me off here last night. I cheat on him and he brings me to you because he's worried. I screwed up Lee. Sam is so good, so much better than me, so much better than I deserve and I screwed up so bad." Uh yeah she did.
"Bella maybe the fact that he just said he needed time is a good thing. He's smart enough to not say something out of anger that he would regret. He loves you." I tell her knowing that love might not be enough.
All the sudden I feel sick so I run to bathroom, puke then come back out to Bella.
"Are you pregnant Lee?" She asks seriously.
"Pretty sure I'm not." After I quit the drugs my doctor told me there is an extremely small chance of me getting pregnant naturally but I don't have that kind of luck.
"You just puked up breakfast you didn't eat and you slept through me ringing your doorbell last night and then crying hysterically on your couch, Chloe screaming bloody murder this morning and then me and Paul and all the kids making breakfast. That's very deep sleeping Lee and you are not a very deep sleeper. Do you use protection because I know you're not on birth control? Oh do your boobs hurt?" Sad to super excited. Damn pregnancy mood swings.
We don't use protection; there isn't really a need for it. My boobs don't hurt, I have been really tired though and not hungry. Moody? Maybe. Paul would be able to answer that better. I don't cry all the time or anything.
"Lee just take a test. It can't hurt right?" Says the girl who gets pregnant every time she has sex. It's a good thing she was pregnant when she slept with Edward.
"Bella it's like a 1% chance of me being pregnant. I don't want to take a chance and get a test and then be disappointed." I try to convince her and myself.
"But you need to know if you are! With all the issues you've had you need to know even sooner probably. Please Lee?" She begs and it annoys the crap out of me but I tell her fine, let's go.
"Whose at the restaurant today?" I ask her once we get in the car and she says Paul then laughs because Paul is obviously not there; he's at home with all the kids. Usually she would be flipping out either her or Paul are always at the restaurant, she doesn't trust anyone else. "Aren't you worried about it?" I ask her.
"I might lose my husband and you might be pregnant. Right now I don't give a damn about the restaurant. I'm thinking about selling it, do you think Paul wants to buy it? Or maybe not buy it but run it full time for so much of the profit? I don't know really how all that even works. Jake does all my financial stuff. I could sell it too him for what I bought it for. We don't need the money. Jake invests for us too, we're doing really well plus I have my store which makes decent money but a lot of it has to go to the girls I pay to sew the stuff but if I wasn't always at the restaurant then I could sew a lot of it myself. So do you think Paul wants to buy it?" She's rambling and I don't even think she realizes we're at the store.
"What is this really about?" I ask her because she loves her restaurant like she loves her kids.
"I lied to you yesterday. I don't get the attention I need from Sam but it's not Sam's fault, it's mine. I'm there so much and I know it's my fault because I only trust myself and Paul and I can't make Paul be there all the time, he's probably there too much as it is so I feel like it has to be me. I don't think I can keep it and not spend so much time there. And it's not just me and Sam who are suffering. Justin called Marissa mama the other day and he throws a fit anything he has to leave Marissa or Emma." She's crying and I hate that I can't make her feel better.
"Did you talk to Sam about all this?" She says no she talked to Sam about screwing her cook, it didn't come up. Sarcastic bitch.
"Go get me a test." I demand and she glares at me but gets out. I want to be involved in this process as little as possible. 5 minutes later she's back with 3 tests, just in case. In case what? I can't manage to pee on a stick?
We get home and Paul is still outside with the kids so she drags me to the bathroom to pee on the stick and then I leave her telling her when it's negative we pretend this never happened.
I go outside with Paul and a few minutes later she comes bouncing outside.
"Lee you remember 5 minutes ago when you told me I could never talk about something again?" She asks and I roll my eyes and Paul looks at me like what is she talking about? "Well you're wrong. I'm going to be talking about it a lot for a very long time."
"It wasn't negative?" I ask her quietly still not wanting to get too excited.
"What wasn't negative?" Paul asks and Bella says Lee's pregnancy test.
"Are you serious?" He asks her and she shakes her head yes smiling.
I'm in shock until Paul kisses me and I burst into tears.
Holy crap. Paul asks me if I'm OK and I tell him yes, I'm OK, more than OK. He smiles and kisses me again while Bella bounces off to play with the kids.
