BELLA AND JACOB

CHAPTER 37

BELLA P.O.V

21 WEEKS PREGNANT

I knew Savannah was having a very hard time but I was so thankful that Seth was there for her.

"What are you thinking about?" Jake asked and I shrugged. He ran his hands up and down my arms while resting his chin on my shoulder. "Why don't you go relax?" He asked and I shook my head.

"Have to get the twins from school soon." I answered.

"I can do it. You rest." He said.

"No. I'm perfectly fine."

"Bella, for god sake do not lie to me!" He nearly shouted.

"Jacob William! I am not lying!" I shouted and he sighed. I knew he was having trouble and he hated seeing his wife and daughter in this type of pain but he needed to give us some space.

"What's going on?" Savannah asked coming downstairs with Seth behind her.

"Nothing, go back upstairs."

"I could hear you fighting." She said and I sighed. "It's okay to be sad." She said getting a little choked up which made both me and Jake get choked up. I hated this. This pain that was hanging over our heads. I knew it was a part of life but why did it need to hurt so bad? I had to worry about my kids and the new one I was bringing into this world and I knew I wasn't as close with my mom but it still hurts like hell.

"I'm okay." I said. Of course I wanted my mother to be here to meet her grandson but I also knew that she was sick and she was in a much better place. She got sick very quickly but she also passed before quickly which was what was best for all of us. We didn't need to see her suffering. "We didn't see her suffer." I said. "Now I have to move on and prepare for the new life that we will all be meeting in 20 weeks." I was so very excited about meeting my little boy but I also felt horrible about being excited because my mother did just pass away.

"You know it's perfectly fine to be excited right?" Jake said. I knew he was more than excited to be having another boy although he taught Savannah to build cars because Ryder wasn't interested.

"I know I just feel bad."

"We should invite our dads over for dinner." He said and I nodded. We liked to do things last minute.

"Hey, kid. How you doing?" My dad asked as he hugged me.

"I'm good. Still a little sensitive, so if Vannah." I commented and he nodded his head. He was having a rough time with it too. My mother was his first love, his high school sweet heart and she was my mother.

"I understand." He said before she came down the stairs and he smiled at her. "How's the car building going?" He asked.

"It's going great! Need a few more parts and it should be done." She answered. She was also fixing up the old truck, not sure if she would be able to fix it but she's trying. I was very proud of her and I think Jake was too. He was always worried about not having kids who wanted to build cars with him even though I offered to do it with him. He still loved me though.

*JACOB P.O.V*

I watched Savannah as she hit off the pitching machine in her new cage that got here earlier today, before our dads got here, and I set it up. I knew she loved it.

"How's it going?" Bella came out and asked me as she rubbed her belly and I helped her sit on the step with me. I took a sip of my beer.

"I'm wonderful how are you?" I asked her.

"I'm good." She answered giggling as I wrapped an arm around her. "Pey and Ash wanna have a fire." She said to me and I nodded my head.

"Alright, tell them to get out here and start gathering sticks." I said and she nodded.

"Maybe in a few, I wanna watch the sunset with you." Although there were woods in our backyard, you could see the sun setting through it and I would say it was beautiful but nothing compares to my wife. "What are you thinking about?" She asked me when she noticed I was staring at her.

"Well I was going to say that the sunset it beautiful but nothing compares to you." She giggled a little before I saw her blush.

"Aren't you sweet!" She said leaning over and kissing me. "I'm so in love with you." Even after being married for 17 years, I was still in love with her since the day I asked her to be my girlfriend and I don't regret anything at all.

"I know it's still sensitive but now our baby has someone to take care of it." I said and she looked at me before looking up at the sky.

"I know." She smiled a little to herself and I wanted to know what she thinking but some of her thoughts should be her own. "I wish we could have met him." Alice told us that it would have been a boy and we were going to name him Kai. We changed Finn's middle name to Kai.

"Me too. We would have six kids." She laughed. I never knew that we would have a family this big but it showed how much we loved each other. I would have ten kids and have no problem with it at all if I got to love my wife for the rest of my life. If I got to wake up to her every single day even though she was cranky in the morning and her hair was a mess. I loved her with all of my heart and I wanted to be with her until the day we both died. I never ever want to live without her.

*SAVANNAH P.O.V*

"Want me to feed you?" Seth asked once I set out the T to hit softball's off of.

"Sure." I watched as Pey and Ash ran around the yard trying to find sticks for the fire that my dad was starting and some how, Emily and Sam were here too but only with Dove.

"Are you going to give me a kiss?" He asked and I smiled before leaning in to peck him on the lips. "How are you?" He asked.

"I'm alright. I'm doing better I'm just worried about my mom." I answered looking over at her and she was sitting on my dads lap with her hands on her belly along with Emily's hands.

"She's doing alright." He answered and I nodded my head. "We should probably join them." He said and I nodded my head.

"Think they will let you sleep in my bed tonight?" I asked and my father's eyes look like he was going to kill us both. "I take that back." I said and we both laughed. We walked over to the only free chair and he sat down while I sat on his lap. My mom watched me very carefully. I picked up a stick that wasn't being used a put a marshmallow on it before holding it over the fire. I was now taking online classes for school that was through my school so I am still able to graduate next year with my class.

"Ash and Pey, we have to go to bed soon." My mom said and I checked my phone. It was almost 9:30 and I knew my mom would never let them stay up past ten.

"What?! No!" Ashton fought. "Vannah and Ry never have to go to bed when we do!" He shouted crossing his arms.

"They are ten years older than you!" My mom fought back with him before he pouted more. She slowly stood up before going over to him and tickling him as he laid back and tried to get her to stop. His giggles filled the air making me giggled and everyone else around us giggled.

"Will you at least cuddle with me?" He asked.

"Of course I will." I know sometimes it's hard growing up but being able to watch my mom do the one thing she loved, was totally worth it.

*BELLA P.O.V*

I laid in bed with Ashton for about an hour before he fell asleep. He was always the hardest to get to sleep and he was a very light sleeper so you have to be super quiet when you leave. I loved my life, I loved my husbands and I loved my children. I loved everything there is to love about this life and yes there were times when I wanted to stay in bed all day and do nothing but the children call.

Jacob was the only thing that was keeping me sane. He knew the right words to say and he knew how to make me feel better but he always knew that my children made me happy but he also knew that that sometimes, we needed to worried about the kids before we worried about each other and I think that's what love is all about.

When you can still be totally in love like you were when you were teenagers but you can also take care of the children you have. We made them out of love and I have no idea how to show love more than those five children. I've never been so happy in my entire life and our family is not completed until Finn is born!
