A New Start Chapter 36, a twilight fanfic

A/N: Thanks again for all the reviews/alerts/favorites and PMs. You guys are so awesome. So we're gonna have a bit of a time skip again.

PPOV (Paul):

Well, it's been about three weeks since Bella told me her story and I, in return, told everyone else. So far we haven't come up with any information about another tribe like ours which means that the person who did this is one of us. The elders all think that it must be a half brother to Sam because his dad tended to get around a lot. That thought alone is enough to send Sam into a rage and it ends up taking him hours before he is calm enough to phase back. I feel bad for him actually. I fear for the poor guy when Sam manages to find him.

We ended up telling the twins, well showing them, the events from that night the day after. They were so pissed that they stayed wolf almost a whole day. It finally took Bella talking them down before they could phase back. Yeah, I wasn't too happy about her being anywhere near them but she put me and the rest of the guys in our place like always. When they did, they went straight to her and held her like she was going to disappear. We all knew from their thoughts that they saw Bella as a mother figure. Deep down inside, we all knew she thought of them as her sons. It showed in the way she took care of them. She treated all the guys that way, but the twins more so. I loved her even more after seeing her holding them and whispering comforting words to them.

Bella has another appointment today but unfortunately I can't make it to this one. I traded shifts with Jared so that I could take Bella on another date this past weekend. Ah, I love my dates with her. They're always fun. She understood though so Sue was going to meet her at the hospital for her appointment.

I walked into the Black's house to see Bella trying to grab something out of a cabinet in the kitchen. I rushed in afraid that she was going to hurt herself trying to reach that high. I put my hand on her arm and lowered it. She turned to look at me.

"What do you think you're doing?" I asked her. She looked at me sheepishly.

"Sorry, I was just seeing if I had all the ingredients for the twins' party on Friday night. No one else is home and I wasn't stupid enough to try and climb on a chair. I thought I could reach it but these two seem to be in the way." She said with her hand on her belly. She's right about that. It's amazing to see how much bigger she's gotten in just three weeks. Of course, I wouldn't tell her that. I like my body parts attached to me.

"Alright, well, what are you looking for?" I asked her as I placed her in a chair at the table. She rolled her eyes at me but gave me a small smile.

"The boys said that they want my lasagna and all the usual side dishes I make with it. So I need to make sure I've got the noodles, the sauce, all my normal spices, the-" I cut her off by placing my hand over her mouth.

"Hey, slow down before you run out of breath." I told her with a smile and a kiss to her nose. I removed my hand from her mouth.

"Sorry, I just want this to be special for them." She said sounding like she always does when she talks about the twins. I nodded my head at her.

"I know you do sweetie and it will be. Okay?" I told her. She nodded her head at me and kissed my cheek. "How about we just go to the store tomorrow and we'll get everything just to be sure that you'll have all the ingredients and you don't run out?" she nodded her head at me.

I looked at the clock to see that it was time for me to head out so that I could relieve Embry and Quil. I sighed and placed my forehead to hers.

"You gotta leave now don't you?" she said sadly. I nodded my head.

"Afraid so. I'm sorry I can't go with you today." I told her honestly. I hated being away from her.

"I already told you that it's fine. You took me on our date so it was worth it. Besides, I think Sue's been dying to have a chance to come to one of my appointments. I think she just wants to see the babies again." She said with a smile. She stood up and gave me a kiss. "Alright, now get outta here before you're late. I have to get ready anyways." I nodded my head and gave her another quick kiss before heading out the door. I walked into the forest and stripped off my clothes and phased.

BPOV (Bella):

It's been about three weeks since I've told Paul my story and he, in turn, told everyone else. I was glad to finally have that off my chest. The twins took it the hardest but I managed to calm them down and assure them I was fine now. From what Paul's told me, the only thing they could come up with was that the guy who did this to me is most likely a half brother to Sam, which would mean that the twins are his niece and nephew. That's still weird for me to think about.

I was looking through the cabinets trying to see what I would need to buy for the twins' birthday party later this week when I heard the door open. Must be Paul. I was reaching in to the cabinet trying to move stuff around but it was extremely difficult with my huge stomach.

"What do you think you're doing?" Paul asked. I looked at him sheepishly.

"Alright, well, what are you looking for?" he asked me as he placed me in a chair at the table. I rolled my eyes at him but gave him a small smile. Overprotective fool, they all are actually, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

"The boys said that they want my lasagna and all the usual side dishes I make with it. So I need to make sure I've got the noodles, the sauce, all my normal spices, the-" he cut me off by placing his hand over my mouth. I must have been rambling again.

"Hey, slow down before you run out of breath." he told me with a smile and a kiss to my nose. He removed his hand from my mouth.

"Sorry, I just want this to be special for them." I said sounding like I always do whenever I talk about the twins. He nodded his head at me.

"I know you do sweetie and it will be. Okay?" he told me. I nodded my head at him and kissed his cheek. "How about we just go to the store tomorrow and we'll get everything just to be sure that you'll have all the ingredients and you don't run out?" I nodded my head at him. That's actually a really good idea.

I saw him look at the clock to see that it was probably time for him to head out for patrol. The other guys were probably ready to be relieved. He sighed and placed his forehead to mine. Yep, definitely time for him to leave.

"You gotta leave now don't you?" I said sadly. He nodded his head.

"Afraid so. I'm sorry I can't go with you today." he told me. I know me too. I hate when he has to leave.

"I already told you that it's fine. You took me on our date so it was worth it. Besides, I think Sue's been dying to have a chance to come to one of my appointments. I think she just wants to see the babies again." I said with a smile. I stood up and gave him a kiss. "Alright, now get outta here before you're late. I have to get ready anyways." he nodded his head and gave me another quick kiss before heading out the door. I sighed and decided to go get a quick shower before my appointment.

I ended up taking a little too long in the shower and I was running a little bit behind. I quickly threw on some jeans and a tank and slipped on some flip flops. I went downstairs and grabbed my keys. I locked up the house and got in my car.

I started down the road to the hospital only to discover that some trees must have fallen over when we had a storm a few nights ago. Damn it, now I'm gonna have to go the back way. I took out my phone to call Sue and let her know. It rang a few times and then went to voice mail. Damn it.

"Hey Sue, it's Bella I just wanted to let you know I'm running a little late. I've got to take the back road because there are some fallen trees blocking the normal route to the hospital. I'll see you when I get there." I said then hung up. I continued my way down the deserted roads only to feel my car start shaking. I did my best to pull it off to the side of the road. Eventually it came to a stop. I got out to see what happened only to notice that my freaking tire was busted.

"Damn it!" I yelled in frustration. There's no way I can change this myself. I went back to get my phone out of my purse only to see that the stupid thing was dead. Fuck! This is just not my day today.

I sat in my seat contemplating my options. I could either wait here, hoping that someone would see me or at the very least notice I'm not at my appointment and send someone to look for me or I could start walking in hopes that I'll find civilization soon. I decided to go for the second option. I gathered my purse and keys then locked my car up. I started walking and wished that I would have put actual shoes on today. My feet were already starting to kill me.

After about five minutes I kept getting this feeling that I was being watched or followed. You're just being paranoid Bella. I started to walk a little faster which was a bad idea because I stumble. Luckily for me, I managed to catch myself on a tree but I did scrape up my hands. Great. Could this day get any worse?

Just as I finished wiping my hands off I heard noise behind me. It must be one of the guys. I was just about to turn around when I felt two hot hands wrap around me; one over my mouth and the other around my belly. I started to panic. I could feel my breathing become ragged and knew that I was on the verge of blacking out. He said something in my ear but I couldn't make it out due to the fact that the blackness won over me.

SPOV (Sue):

I was at the hospital waiting for Bella to get here for her appointment with Dr. Snow. I was excited to get to see the babies again. I looked at my watch to see that she only has about five minutes before her appointment started. Where is she? She should be here by now. Maybe I should call her. I pulled out my phone only to see that it was on silent. I had a missed call and a voice mail. No wonder I didn't hear it. I saw that the missed call was from Bella so I decided to listen to the voice mail. I pressed the button and waited. I heard Bella's voice.

I listened to all the details to see that she left it over ten minutes ago. Shouldn't she be here by now? It doesn't take that long going the back roads. I hung up the phone and then decided to wait a bit longer before I did anything. No need to freak out just yet. Finally after another ten minutes of waiting I just knew something wasn't right. I informed the receptionist that we'd just reschedule before heading down the back roads to see if I could find her.

It didn't take me long before I came across Bella's car. I sighed in relief to see it parked there on the side of the road. I parked on the other side before getting out and going to see what had happened. However, when I got to her car I realized that no one was in it and it was locked. Where is she? I was starting to get this feeling that something wasn't right.

I knew I didn't see her walking because I made sure to drive slow in case she was for whatever reason. I started walking towards the direction I came from and could see that someone had walked through here. I don't like this feeling I've got. Something's not right. It was when I came across Bella's scattered purse contents and the drag marks that I knew I was right. I quickly ran back to my car and grabbed my phone. I quickly dialed Harry.

"Hello?" he said.

"Harry." I said frantically and on the verge of tears.

"Sue, honey, what's wrong? What happened?" he asked worriedly.

"I…are Seth or Leah there?" I asked him.

"Yeah, why? What's going on?" he asked again.

"Have them get in contact with the pack and meet at the back roads leading to the hospital and hurry." I said while crying.

"Alright, but what happened? Are you okay?" he asked.

"It's Bella." I told him. I could hear his sharp intake of breath.

"Alright. I'll be there as soon as I can." He said.

"Just hurry." I told him and then hung up. I stood pacing outside my car; waiting for the pack to show up.

E/N: Alright, so next chapter will be the pack's reaction. As always guys, let me know your thoughts. Read and review.
