PREVIOUSLY-

"Things are looking really good from this side as well. Do you want to know what it is? The baby seems to want you to know." Sue said as I could see clearly two legs wide open on the screen.

"Of course." I told her, Embry holding my hand as we watched.

"It's a…"

I held my breath, waiting for the result.

"Girl! You have a healthy little baby girl growing in there. She's the perfect size, and all of her organs seem to be in perfect working order." Sue told us and I felt tears running down my face.

"A daughter? Bella, we're going to have a daughter!" Embry said excitedly at my side, noticing my tears of happiness.

"I told you it was a girl." I said, wiping my tears away. "I guess Seth wins the bet."

"Seth has been telling me he knew it was a girl all along, though I have to say I'm quite surprised. I figured with the wolf gene, it would be a little boy." Sue told us.

"That's what the whole pack thought too." Embry told her.

She gave did a few more things and printed out some pictures for us to take, before sending us on our way.

We walked slowly towards our new house, which wasn't far from the clinic as we just enjoyed the new information we had.

Looking at the house, I noticed that it just felt right. It was perfect in every way. It was situated back in the woods, near the beach, just like Emily's. We had decided to go with a similar look, almost like a wood cabin made with a dark colored shiplap and it had a wrap-around porch.

I smiled as we walked toward our house. Our house. I still couldn't believe it. It was small, but we managed to get three bedrooms and two baths. The whole pack had worked on it, even our newest members, Brady and Collin.

After Embry unlocked the door with our key, we walked inside to a huge chorus of 'surprise's. I was genuinely shocked, the whole pack was there, including the imprints and my dad.

I looked over to Embry, who was just watching me, not surprised at all. He must have been in on it too. "You all did this for us?" I asked.

"The girls wanted to surprise you with a gender reveal party/ housewarming party at the same time. While you guys were at your appointment, we all moved in your furniture and boxes, too." Sam replied and I actually looked around, seeing that we did, indeed, have furniture and our few boxes were there, along with several presents stacked in a heaping pile.

"What are those for?" I asked, pointing at the presents.

"We couldn't have a housewarming party without bringing presents, Bella!" Emily said as she rushed over to give me a hug.

"You guys really shouldn't have—"

"Shut up, B, and just enjoy it. You do so much for the rest of the pack, let us do something for you too." Paul said from across the room where he stood, one arm wrapped around Rachel.

"Okay then, so I guess what's first?" I asked, looking at Emily.

"Come with me." She mentioned, pulling me along into the kitchen. "I made two cakes, this one has pink frosting inside, and this one has blue. You chose whichever one is right and bring it out to the table and you'll cut it, then we'll know if it's a boy or girl!"

"Thank you so much for this, Emily." I told her before she scampered out of the kitchen, leaving me alone with the two cakes. I grabbed the one with pink frosting inside and made my way to the table where everyone was standing around, waiting. There was already a knife and plates waiting.

"Just so you guys know, I figured out about the bets earlier… are you ready to find out who's right?" I asked and I heard a chorus of 'yes'.

I motioned for Embry to come over and hold the knife with me as we cut the first slice of the chocolate cake. I paused for dramatic effect before pulling the piece of cake out, letting everyone see the pink frosting.

"No way!"

"It's a girl?!"

"I was right!"

I heard everyone speak at once. "Yes, it's a girl. Which means that Seth and I win the bet. I can't believe none of you guys thought it was a girl!"

"Well Seth just won $100." Jared said grabbing a $10 bill from his wallet.

"Yo, you guys better give mama wolf half, she bet it was a girl before they found out." Seth told everyone.

"No, Seth, you get it all because I could say I cheated with mother's instinct." I told him, and he didn't fight me on it.

We all laughed and ate the cake, then proceeded to eat the boy cake too. I, of course, got the first piece of both.

After that we opened our presents and they were all things we needed for the house, which I was very grateful for. The last present to be opened was from Charlie.

"Now Bells, this one is already set up, so go on in that room right there and see it." Charlie said, pointing to the room that we had chosen to be the baby's room.

I walked in the room, wondering what it could have been. I turned the light on and immediately gasped. It was a beautiful white crib with a mobile full of wolves hanging above it. I felt tears rush to my eyes as I looked back over to my dad.

"How did you?"I pointed at the crib.

"It was yours, baby girl, even the mobile with the wolves. Pretty fitting, I have to say, now that I know the truth. I found it out in the shed and had Paul and Seth come bring it down and set it up last night." He told me, wrapping his arm around my shoulder. "I can't believe my baby girl is having a baby girl of her own."

I now officially had tears running down my cheeks. I turned to wrap my arms around Charlie. After a few minutes I pulled away to see Embry, standing there leaning against the doorway.

"So, wolves, huh?" He asked as we walked back out of the room.

"I even had a stuffed one I carried around with me everywhere until I was about 8." I told him, only just remembering.

"You mean this old guy?" I heard Charlie say from behind me, and I turned around to see him holding my old dark gray stuffed wolf, which happened to look almost identical to Embry's wolf form.

"You kept Ash this whole time?" I asked Charlie as he handed me the stuffed wolf.

"I have a box full of your things in the attic, and he was right on top. Had to wash him, but I think he turned out alright." Charlie said and I held onto the wolf tightly.

"Looks like you've got some competition, bro." Paul said to Embry from behind me. "It even looks just like you and the name, too. Ash and Embry, like embers and ashes…"

"I can't believe I forgot about him, after all this time." I said as I continued to hold it tightly.

"I don't want to rush you, Bella, but we've got our dress appointment at 1:30 and its 12:00 now." I heard Leah say and I looked over to Embry in panic.

"Don't worry babe, we'll get this stuff cleaned up. You need to get ready and go ahead. Don't forget, Paul is driving." Embry told me and I nodded, saying another quick thank you to everyone before going into our new bedroom and shutting the door.

There, sitting on our brand-new king-sized bed, was a small gift bag with my name written on it. I opened it and pulled out a beautiful dark gray and red maternity maxi dress. It was a soft cotton and had a string that tied above my belly, accentuating my bump. I looked at the card and smiled.

I heard that you were upset the other day about none of your pants fitting from a certain little birdie. I hope you like this until I can help you shop for maternity pants! -Rachel

I knew the little birdie who told her had been Paul, because while Embry had been patrolling, he'd burst into my room at Emily's when he heard me crying, and it had only been because I officially couldn't wear any of my jeans any longer.

I quickly put it on and slipped on my sandals before walking back out where everyone was waiting.

"Thank you, Rachel, it's perfect." I told her, walking up to her and Paul as I came out of my room.

"It fits you great! I'm so glad you like it. Maybe we can get you some maternity clothes while we are in Port A." Rachel said and I could hear Paul groan about shopping. She leaned over to him and whispered, "Just think Paul, one day it'll be me needing to go shopping for maternity clothes."

I saw his eyes widen before he turned to her and kissed her deeply. I just shook my head, laughing as I went to find Embry to say goodbye. I hugged my imprint tightly and he kissed me for a good long while before resting his forehead against mine with his hands on my bump. "I love you. Please be careful and come back soon."

"I love you, too. I promise I'll be careful, not to mention I'll have Paul, Seth, and Leah with me. We'll be home before you know it." I told him although I knew he'd be worried until I was back on the res.


A/N- So pretty much everyone who guessed was right! I love the idea of the wolf pack having a girl as their first pack pup. Can you just imagine how protective they'd all be? So how do you guys feel about it so far?
