Paul POV :
I kissed Bella goodnight one final time before heading out for my patrol. I could hear Bella soft snores coming from our room and knew she would be fine for the night. I quickly went outside remembering to lock the door behind me; who knows what bastards come out at night these days? I had to chuckle at that because no matter what I would kill whoever it was before they even reached the front step.
I ran into the bushes tide my cut offs to my leg and phased. I could hear Embry, Jarrod and Sam talking about the party at mine and Bella's house. I kept my mind of Bella and the baby thinking solely on my patrol route. I ran towards where the voices were coming from and howled when I reached the small clearing that Jarrod, Embry and Sam were standing in.
Hey Paul great party tonight! Jarrod yelled acting like a teenage girl.
I rolled my eyes. It was a dinner Jarrod nothing more.
You sure Bella was feeling sick? She looked pretty perky to me, Embry asked slightly curious.
Well the baby has her emotions out of whack so that could be it. I smiled at them as they completely spaced at what I just said.
That makes a lot of sense. I mean I remember when my step mom was preg-wait did you just say Bella's pregnant? Embry asked shell shocked.
Yep found out today. She told me just before you guys came. I did a wolfy smile filled with pride and joy.
Jarrod thought back to an image of what I looked like when he first came. That would explain that messed up look on your face when we first arrived. Jarrod started howling with laughter.
Congratulations Paul and did she tell Emily because Emily hasn't stopped talking about taking Bella on an 'emergency shopping trip stat'. I started laughing as he showed us of a picture of him and Emily driving home and Emily started talking like a doctor waiting to operate.
I think she guessed and the Cullen's know, I said remembering mine and Jasper's not so friendly little chat.
Ooh they all winced as I remembered how much it hurt when Jasper punched me in the jaw.
You let a vampire punch you and you didn't phase? Sam asked surprised and started thinking back to when Jacob gave me a wrong look I would phase in anger.
Well Bella thought I didn't want the baby and I was too worried about her to care I actually didn't listen to much Jasper said to me other than, 'baby', 'anger', 'stupid' but I could have been thinking the last one. I shrugged thinking about my worry and they nodded in understanding.
So when do you plan on telling on everyone else? Sam asked.
I shrugged. Not sure me and Bella were gonna talk in the morning after my patrol. I said and without thinking about became annoyed and sad that Bella was sleeping by herself and would wake up to me not beside her.
Alright well let's get patrol over with so we aren't pegged with Paul and his sour mood. Sam laughed and I growled at him.
Patrol went by fast and before I knew I was heading back home to my princess and my baby. I smiled at the thought and started running faster. I phased and quickly put on my cut offs. I went through the door that was by the kitchen and ran into Renee. She didn't realize it was me and started screaming and hitting me.
All of a sudden I felt something smash into the back of my head and fell to the ground. "Ow," I groaned.
I grabbed the back of my head and looked up to see Phil staring down at me wide eyed. "Oh my god Paul!" He dropped the metal baseball onto the ground with a clank.
"What's all the racket about?" I groaned again when I whipped my head around to see Bella staring wide eyed at me on the ground and got a throbbing pain in my head. Bella looked at me and then at the baseball bat beside Phil. "What happened?" Bella demanded running over to me helping me into a sitting position resting my back against the cupboards.
"He came in and ran into I didn't look at him properly and thought he was a robber and started screaming. Phil came and hit him in the head with the bat he fell down and now here we are." Renee said panicking slightly.
"Paul? Paul are you okay?" Bella asked putting her hands on my face and touching the back of my head. I winced and groaned when she touched a soft spot. "I'm calling Carlisle." She stated reaching for the phone. I tried to stop her but my hand brushed against her leg. She stopped and looked down at me.
"I'm fine really." I said using the counter to help me stand. Phil and Bella both helped me stand also and Bella kept her hand on my shoulder. I looked up at Renee ready to apologize but noticed she wasn't looking at my face but my chest more specifically the scars that Victoria left a few weeks ago. "Maybe I should change and Renee I'm so sorry about scaring you like that. I guess I didn't see you there."
Renee blushed realizing she had been caught. She gave Bella a questioning look and I saw Bella mouth 'I'll tell you later'. I pushed off the counter and felt my head start pounding again. "Maybe you should rest a while to." Phil said picking up the baseball bat and I realized he was only in boxer pants. "Sorry about the baseball bat I just thought Renee could be in danger and uh reacted I guess. What were you doing out at seven in the morning anyway?" He asked slightly curiously.
"Paul goes for a morning run every morning." Bella answered for me grabbing the ice pack from the freezer.
"Thank you," I said when she handed it to me. "It helps keep me in shape when there's a fire." I said heading for the stairs.
"I thought you owned a mechanic shop in town?" Renee said.
"I do but I'm also a volunteer fireman." I said turning to face her. I caught her giving Bella an approving look and winked and chuckled when Bella blushed.
Bella walked over to me wrapping her arm around my waist and I smile feeling the familiar shock of electricity as her skin touched mine. I wrapped my free arm around her waist and held the ice pack on my head. Bella helped me upstairs until I was lying on the bed. My back was on the warm covers and smiled at Bella as she took of my shoes. "I could have done that myself princess."
Bella shrugged. "Your hurt and I'm gonna take care of you. So how was patrol?"
"Good Sam, Jarrod and Embry know about the baby and say congratulations. Oh that reminds me what was with all the looks from your mom?" I asked remembering when Bella mouthed 'I'll tell you later'.
Bella blushed. "My mom is one of those people that make it their business to know everything about who I'm dating or with." Bella rolled her eyes before coming over with a glass of water. I took the cup and pulled her down so she was beside me. She huffed. "Paul . . . I have to go talk to my mom and yell at Phil." She said trying to get up but I held her to my side tightly.
"I thought you said you had to take care of me because I'm hurt." I said mocking her with a smile on my face.
Bella rolled her eyes. "Paul sleep I'll be back in a few hours to come get you but I swear to you if you don't zip it and shut your eyes I'll send Maggie in here to lick your toes." She threatened and I immediately let her go.
"Fine." I said before yawning, Bella giggled and leaned down kissing me on the lips and then left closing the door behind her. I closed my eyes and let sleep take me.
