Quil's POV

Bella and Leah and Stacy and Lacy are going crazy getting things ready for Ari and Aidan's baby. Ari is too miserable to care and Aidan is too exhausted to care. When he's not working or dealing with Ari freaking out every other minute he's asleep. We've told him to enjoy it now because it definitely won't last. Since Ari works for Lacy and Aidan works for Sam, who has been very understanding, they worked their schedules out to where they will be able to keep the baby Monday-Thursday and Embry will keep it on Friday and Bella will keep in on the weekends. She is very excited. Embry is still having a hard time but he has been very supportive. I understand having a hard time, I still can't imagine Lacy having a baby and she's practically engaged.

Practically as in he's planning on doing it next weekend. They've been together a little less than 6 months but they spend every second they can together even when that's not much. Between their schedules and distance they see each other a couple of times a week. He told me he is looking at a house about halfway between his practice and the shop. I told him she doesn't have to run the shop, that was never the plan, it was just something she wanted to do but if she ever changes her mind I would gladly take it back over. I doubt she will change her mind though.

I'm hanging out with Sara while all the other kids are doing whatever and Leah and Bella are shopping and Jake is at work when Lacy comes bursting in crying.

Sara runs to her hugging her and Lacy tries to calm down for her but she can't.

"Sara go find Derek and Lena OK? Then we'll make lunch in a little while." I tell her and she runs upstairs screaming for Derek.

"Baby what's wrong?" I ask her while she cries into me.

"I thought I was pregnant but I wanted to be sure before I told anyone, I mean I told mom but I asked her not to say anything until I was sure. I just really wasn't ready for it you know? So my appointment was a couple of days ago and the doctor tells me I'm not pregnant and I'm so relieved you know and I told mom and then today they asked me to come back in and they tell me they ran some tests because false negatives are really rare and then they said I have some issue and I will probably never be able to get pregnant. I wasn't ready but I wanted kids one day."

I really wish Bella was here.

"Oh baby, I'm so sorry." I tell her and just let her cry while texting Bella.

"And now I have to break up with Brad." She whispers.

"Why baby?" I ask her confused.

"Because he wants kids too. I'm damaged but he's not. He can find someone who can give him babies."

"Oh Lacy, just talk to him. Please don't just break up with him. He loves you. And there are other ways to have kids. So just talk to him." I tell her and she nods her head but I don't know if she's agreeing or just getting me to stop talking.

Bella comes home about 20 minutes later and Lacy starts crying again at the sight of her and Bella hugs her and they sit on the couch and she holds her and tells her it's OK, it's all going to be OK. She whispers over her head for me to call Brad so I walk out of the room and tell him Lacy needs him. He says he'll be there as soon as possible but it probably won't be for a couple of hours since he has one more patient and then he's an hour away.

I walk back in the house and Derek is sitting with Lacy and Sara is curled up with Bella. She hates for people to be upset and she loves Lacy.

Derek finally gets Lacy to go outside with him and Lena and Sara, being outside still has the ability to calm her.

"This isn't fair. She would be such a good mom." Bella tells me as soon as they are outside and then breaks down crying.

"I know babe but she can still be a mom. She's going to be OK."

Brad shows up about an hour later and goes outside to see her.

Soon he comes back in telling us there is no way he's going to let her leave him. I figured as much.

"She's going to push you away as hard as she can. She'll be mean and stubborn and she'll do everything she can to make you hate her because she loves you and she thinks she's doing the right thing." I tell him. I know Lacy and she's not just going to take it at it's fine, I don't care, we'll work through this.

"There is nothing she can do to make me let her go." He assures me and I tell him I know. I'm just warning him.

Lacy and Derek and Lena and Sara come in soon after that and we all have dinner before Jake picks Sara up.

"I'm going to stay here today Brad. Um, I know we're doing lunch tomorrow and I'll be there. I just want to be here tonight. I love you and I am so sorry for this. I wouldn't blame you at all if you just wanted to break it off with me now. You deserve so much better. Someone not broken." Lacy tells him crying and it the most heartbreaking thing I have ever seen.

"You are not broken sweetheart and I will always love you. If you want to cancel lunch tomorrow and stay here that's fine. I can come see you tomorrow after work." He kisses her and wipes away her tears.

She walks outside with him and then comes back in and tells us she's going to bed. Bella walks up with her.

"Is Lacy OK?" Derek asks me and I tell him no, not really but she will be.

We'll always be OK.
