Hi guys.,
How's everybody doing today? I wanted to post an update since yesterday but my laptop was being a bitch and wouldn't turn on and when it did turn and the internet stopped working anyway here a new chapter; I hope everybody enjoys it.
Sam's POV.
Honestly, I was fucking exhausted I wanted nothing more to be home in bed cuddling with Leah. When I phased, I was hoping to catch some rest before someone else phased, but the spirits just weren't having that.
After Jared phased, I spent the weekend teaching him how to control his shift and also teaching him to patrol.
I had just finished doing some work on someone's house in Forks. My construction company was kicking off, which I was grateful for. Getting into my truck I took up my phone to see if I had any messages, I saw one miss call from Bella and one voicemail pressing the button I listened to the voicemail.
Sam, it's Bella can you please call me back when you get this it's very important.
Dialing Bella's number, the phone started ringing, and she picked up after the first ring.
Bella, I received your message, what's up?
Are you able to come over? I don't want to talk about it over the phone.
Yeah, I can be there in 10 minutes.
Okay, Angela is here, but she's leaving now.
Hanging up the phone, I started the truck and heading towards Bella's house.
When I got to Bella's and stepped out the truck, I wanted to gag. The smell of death and bleach hanging around the house, I could tell a cold one had been here.
Knocking at the door, Bella opened.
"Hey Sam, come in, you want anything to drink?"
"Some water would be fine," I told her as I sat down in the living room.
She brought back a glass of cold water and sat opposite me.
"Bella has any of the Cullen's been here?"
"No, why?"
"When I came out the truck around the house smelt as a cold one had been around."
"That's crazy because, at school, I seem to have a problem with them," she told me.
"What problems are you having with them?"
"The short pixie looking one invited me to their house, but I said no cause there's no way I would befriend them knowing what they are and could lose control in a second."
"That's a wise decision, Bella."
"Yeah, but when I turned down the pixie, she told her carrot top brother, and he corned me when I went to the bathroom and squeezed my wrist a little too hard, Charlie came and brought him to the station, but I don't know how long they'll hold him for since his dad seems to have a lot of money."
I was angry, but I couldn't lose my cool, I needed to stay levelheaded and figure this out.
"Is anything missing from your room because they seem obsessed with you and I would suggest avoid them at all costs."
"I don't know let go see since your sense of smell is better if they been in here you can pinpoint anywhere, they may have been."
We moved up the stairs and the closer we got to her room I could smell rotten flesh and bleach. One of those leeches had been here.
"One of them has been in here," I told her.
"Those sick motherfuckers," she said in disgust.
"Bella I need you to come down to La Push with me, I need to inform the council of what's happening, they'll get in contact with the leech father because the treaty states they shouldn't hurt humans."
"Let me write Charlie a note and let him know that I'm down at the reservation with you."
After Bella had written the note, she grabbed her purse, and we left, heading towards La Push.
Bella's POV.
Sam drove us to Billy's house, we sat in the living room.
"Sam, Bella what brings you here?"
"Billy the Cullen's seem obsessed with Bella, one snuck into her room and one grabbed her hands a little rough today."
"I need to call the rest of the council; we need to have a meeting right away."
I nodded.
Billy went rolling into the kitchen to go make a call.
"What do you think will happen?" I asked Sam.
"I honestly don't know Bella, there's only two of us that have phased and there's seven of them."
I was about to reply, but then Billy came back into the room.
"They'll be here in an hour Sam, you can take Bella home; she doesn't have to be here for this."
"Billy if you're trying to hide the fact that Sam's a shifter and the Cullen's are cold one, I already know, and Sam didn't tell me."
Billy looked shocked.
"I'm going for a walk along the beach I'll be back by the time everyone else gets here."
Not waiting for a reply, I left.
Walking down the path and to the beach. The beach seems empty because most people were still at school or work.
After walking for a little while I saw someone sitting on a log the closer, I walked I noticed it was Paul and he was drinking a bottle of what looks like whiskey. Debating if I should just turn around or if I should go talk to him before I could decide, he looked up and saw me.
"Swan, sit with me," he said, patting the side of the log.
I sat next to him; he tried to hand me some alcohol; I refused it.
"What's up Swan haven't seen you in a while."
"I've been busy with school," I told him.
"Little Swan I have been missing you," he said stroking my hair. "I've been hoping to get a repeat of that night."
My mind went back to that night. It had been a beautiful night, and it had led to the twins that are growing in my stomach. I turned to look him in the eyes.
"Paul-" my words were cut off when he slammed his lips against mine.
I couldn't think all I could feel and smell was Paul, I don't know how I ended up on his lap but here I was straddling him. His lips left mine and went to my neck kissing and sucking there will probably be a mark tomorrow, but I don't care it felt good.
His lips came back to mine, and I moaned into his mouth, I felt one hand creeping up my legs and went to grab the hem of my sweater. All my senses came back, I couldn't let him take my sweater off one look at my stomach and he would know.
"Wait, Paul stop for a second we need to talk."
"We can talk after I fuck you."
"Let's be serious I need to talk to you."
He let go of me, I quickly stood up.
"Paul, do you remember the night we had sex?"
"How could I forget, I can't stop thinking about you Bella I've tried everything to get you out my head," hearing those words come from Paul's mouth shocked me.
"I don't believe that you're probably just drunk."
"Trust me, Bella, I'm not drunk, feeling like this has had me confused because I don't do the feeling shit, I fuck and leave but your different Bella."
He got up from the log and stroked my cheek. I couldn't get distracted again, I needed to tell him even if he doesn't want to be a part of their lives he still deserves to know.
"I'm pregnant," I blurted out.
His hands fell from my face.
"What?"
"Paul I'm pregnant and the baby is yours," I took my purse from my sweater and took out the ultrasound picture I had in there. "If you want nothing to do with us, that's fine, but I thought you had a right to know that you're going to be a father."
I gave him the ultrasound picture, and he stood there staring but didn't say. Guess that answers my question he wants nothing to do with the babies.
"Okay, I guess I see you around then," still no answer I turned away so he couldn't see the tears roll down my cheek.
I walked back to Billy's house Sam was outside when I got there. He rushed over to meet me.
"Bella, what's wrong? Did something happen at the beach?"
"No."
"Then why are you crying?"
"I told Paul about me being pregnant and he just stood there."
"Maybe he was just a little shocked," Sam told me as he wiped my tears.
"I don't think so, I just think he doesn't want them and that's fine, I'll raise my babies alone."
"You've got me and Leah I'm sure Paul will come around, maybe after he passes, he'll begin to see reason."
Sam hugged me and wiped the tears from my eyes.
"Thanks, Sam."
"Come on, let's get you inside so we can figure out what to do with these leeches."
When we got inside Billy, Harry, Old Quil, Sue and Jared were sitting in the living room.
"What's the pale face doing here?" Asked Old Quil. I've never had much contact with Old Quil, but the few times I have he likes to remind me I'm an outsider to the tribe.
"Please be respectful," Billy told him.
"We are here because today one of the Cullen kids attacked Bella at school and when I went over to Bella's house, it seems they had come over and also entered her room without permission," Sam told everyone.
"Bella honey, are you okay?" Sue asked.
"Yes, I'm okay Charlie took Edward to the station, but I'm scared what the rest of the family will do, and they have money I'm scared he'll get out and try again."
"Nothing will happen to you, Bella, we'll make sure of it," Harry told me.
"Sam and I will protect you, Bella, don't worry," Jared told me.
"What does this pale face know about the Cullen's?" Old Quil questioned.
"I know they are cold ones just the same way I know Jared and Sam are shapeshifters and no they didn't tell me."
"An outsider shouldn't know these things," Old Quil.
I so badly wanted to shut him up and tell him I'm not an outsider, but I held my tongue.
"The Cullen's hurting Bella is bad, however, they didn't kill or bite her so technically the treaty hasn't been completely broken," Billy said. "Since they are obsessed and have entered your bedroom, I will have to call the doctor to ensure it punishes his son for his action and also Sam and Jared will watch your house to make sure they don't try anything."
"That's fucking stupid, so I'm supposed to just sit around waiting until they try to kill me or take a bite out of me before you guys give Sam and Jared the okay to rip them apart."
"You should be happy we care enough to ensure your safety," Old Quil said.
"You know what shut the fuck up you are such a bitter old man, keep being this bitter and no one will ever care about you or take care of you."
Everyone was shocked.
"You are vulgar pale face we are trying to help you and you're being disrespectful."
"I'm being disrespectful because you think it's okay to disrespect me, every time I have been around you always make it known how much you dislike me," I was angry.
I had been keeping everything in and now Old Quil had pissed me off and I just had to let it out. I was angry at the Cullen's I was angry at Paul for not saying anything about the twins and I was angry Billy was telling me to sit and wait until the Cullen's tried to take a bite out of me before doing anything.
"Bella honey, calm down," Sue said as she rubbed small circles on my back.
I nodded.
"I'm sorry for my outburst, however, I'm tired of your disrespect old Quil you are a grown man and the fact you feel it is okay to disrespect me who is still a child is Ludacris."
He said nothing.
"Sam, could you take me home please I'm feeling tired," I asked.
"Bella I'm sorry about today," Harry told truthfully.
"Bella let's get you home."
Sam and I started walking out when we got outside Sue came running out.
"Bella you still need to make an appointment," she reminded me.
"How about Wednesday, since I won't be at school," I told her.
"Wednesday afternoon is perfect."
"Thanks, Sue, I'll see you on Wednesday."
Getting in Sam's truck, we headed back to my house.
Paul's POV.
"Trust me, Bella, I'm not drunk, feeling like this has had me confused because I don't do the feeling shit, I fuck and leave but your different Bella."
I wasn't lying since the night I slept with Bella I haven't been able to get her out my head every night I've dreamt about her it wasn't always sexually. Some night I'd dream about what it would be like waking up next to Bella, some night I'd see us walking along the beach holding hands but my favorite was coming home and seeing her cooking in the kitchen round with our child.
The last one confused me the most because I've never thought about having kids until after I had slept with Bella. I always thought I was too angry and fucked up in the head to become a father. My father was in prison I didn't give a shit about that son of a bitch he was abusive and a murder.
Getting up from the log I was sitting I reached out and stroked Bella's cheek. She was perfect with her pale skin and big brown eyes. I don't do that relationship shit, but for Bella, I'd try it.
"I'm pregnant."
My hand left her cheek and fell to my side.
"What?"
"Paul I'm pregnant and the baby is yours," I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "If you want nothing to do with us, that's fine, but I thought you had a right to know that you're going to be a father."
She handed me a piece of paper I wanted to say something, but it was like the words were stuck in my throat.
"Okay, I guess I see you around then."
Bella walked away, leaving me, I still couldn't form words. I sat down on the log and saw that she had handed me a copy of the ultrasound I know I should go after her, but I just couldn't move or speak. I sat there staring at the ultrasound for an hour.
I know Bella probably thinks I wanted nothing to do with her pregnancies because of my reaction, but the truth is I'm fucking scared. Bella deserves better than me, these babies deserve better than me.
I needed somebody to talk to getting up I took my bottle of whiskey and I put the ultrasound picture in my pocket and walked to Jared house; I haven't seen him since the weekend and he wasn't answering my calls, but he's the only one I know will listen.
Getting to Jared's I knocked the door loudly.
"Jared, I know you're here, open the door, I need to talk to you."
I knocked for about 5 minutes until he finally opened the door.
"Paul what's up."
"Can I come in? I need somebody to talk to."
"Yeah sure whatever," he said, moving out my way and letting me in.
I sat in the living room opening the bottle of whiskey I took a swing and passed it to him.
"What's up, Paul?"
"Bella told me she's pregnant, and the baby is mine."
He passed the bottle back to me.
"What did you say?"
"She told me, and I just stood there like a fucking idiot not saying a word and she walked away."
"Why didn't you say, something, man? You're going to be a father."
"I said nothing cause I'm fucking scared. What if I'm a horrible father? What if I turn out just like my dad?"
"Come on, Paul your nothing like that son of a bitch you'd never raise your hands-on Bella or your child."
"She deserves someone so much better than me, she shouldn't end up tied down here, she should be able to travel the world and experience everything," I got up and drank more of the whiskey. "She's only 17 for god's sake, she should finish high school and go off to college instead I was careless and got her pregnant, her uncle is going to kill me."
"Paul calm down."
I sat back down on the couch but trying to calm down.
"The first question, do you want to be there for Bella during this pregnancy?"
"Yes, I do what kind of question is that?"
"So, what's stopping you?"
"I'm scared of being a bad father and I'm scared I won't be enough for them."
"The most important thing when raising a child is love. You need not have millions of dollars, you need not have a mansion. Once they have a roof over their heads, food in their stomach, clothes on their body and both parents who love and care about them, there's not much more needed."
"When did you get so smart?" I asked.
"I've always been smart."
"I want to be there for my babies, but what if Bella wants nothing to do with me?"
"Talk to her ask her on a date you guys have months before she gives birth, you guys need to learn about each other. You guys jumped a broom by getting pregnant before knowing each other, but I'm sure you can fix it."
I thought about it. Tomorrow I would see her, I would apologize and ensure she knew I wanted to be there, and I would be the best father I could be.
"I should go see her after tomorrow and apologize for the way I acted."
"I was at Billy's earlier and she said she wasn't going to school tomorrow, so you could go in the morning."
"I should get her flowers or something girls love that shit."
"You know Bella, she's not like most girls."
"Very true. So, how're things with you and Angela?"
"Things are good I think she the one I want to be with forever."
We sat and talked for another hour before I left. When I got home, I thought about everything that had happened today.
I hadn't planned on being a father at 19, but we all know life never goes according to plan. I made a promise to myself, I would be the best father ever, my children would never have to question if I love them.
So she finally told Paul. What do you think will happen in the next chapter?
Leave a review and I will see you guys in the next chapter
