A/n: to my wonderful readers. Just a small note. This story was not meant to confuse you. My intent is to keep you all guessing on who Bella's lover is. So please keep reading and enjoy the journey.
One week later
Emmett Cullen sat in the tree branches. It was eleven o clock at night and Bella still wasn't home. He had given her time just like Carlisle ordered. Besides it felt good getting away from everyone. With Edward, Alice and Esme depressed, and Rosalie angry, jasper had been feeling the brunt of it. It was why he brought him. not to speak to Bella but to at least get out of the house.
"doesn't she have a curfew?" jasper asked.
"Well, after what she did, I wouldn't be surprised. But then again, it has been a week." Emmett commented. The swans' driveway was completely Empty. Not a car or cruiser in sight.
Jasper went to say something but stopped when they heard the sound of a jeep pulled up.
It was silver and there was music playing. Romantic music.
The driver's side door opened and out came a man. From the stench he was obviously a wolf. While Jasper and Alice had yet to meet the shapeshifters, Emmettt was there when the first treaty was signed , so he at least knew the stench. It wasn't pleasant. The guy was tall, had short crop raven hair and grey eyes but they were somehow different. It was odd, he had never seen anyone with those particular eyes. It was almost like those eyes were glowing. It was strange.
A few seconds later, Bella emerged from the jeep. The grey eyed man guiding her to the hood.
The two simply stared at each other and Emmettt had to refrain a hiss when he saw where the mutt's hands were. Right on Bella's behind and it wasn't so much that the wolf was touching her, it was the fact that she was being touched. What older brother wanted to see his little sister get groped.
"…hey…um you think, you think you can meet my dad and I in port Angeles. Thiers a nice restaurant up there and…and I want to tell him...about...us?"
Emmett watched a display of complete awe and surprise crash over the man's face. Jasper gasped and put his hand over his chest.
"he's feeling pride, and an overwhelming amount of joy. Joy that she wants to show him off. He's happy that she wants to show him off. That she's not ashamed." Jasper whispered.
He was going to say something else but both vampires gasped when they saw what happen next.
Bella reached out, with both hands on the man's face and let her lips reach his. He of course deepened the kiss.
After a minute or two they took a breath and the man saidc
"why don't you bring the chief to our house. I can show him everything I built. Oh, and show him the place where I make my stained glass. I want to impress him first. No, I don't have money like Cullen but ...but I can provide us with a good home. Decent money."
Bella chuckled and said, "the money and the materials never mattered to me babe."
"yeah, I know and I'm glad...but…as a man, I have to show your father that I'm worth his daughters' heart…and her hand."
"we have to let him warm up to us before we tell him about the engagement."
Emmett and jaspers eyes went huge. Engagement! Bella was engaged!? And to a shapeshifter at that? what the heck was going on?
"That's fair…now, tell me what's bothering you?" he asked gently
"Huh? What do you mean?" she asked
The man smirked and said "I always know when something wrong with you bell. Especially when you bite your bottom lip, I know when you are biting out of anxiety and when your biting to keep from shouting my name. even though I love hearing you do it."
Bella blushed and looked up at the man.
"…I…I don't like it when you sit next to Emily. I mean…I mean you were all over her and I just don't understand it. I-I mean is it a wolf thing? I mean she had reached out to touch you, like...like it was normal or something and...and I guess I'm just jealous or something… I don't know...I'm sorry. Im just being childish."
Jasper gasp as he felt the emotions swarming over him.
"wow…this this such a drastic change from her and Edward."
"what do you mean?" Emmett asked
"…with Edward, there was always…this feeling of ...insecurity and unsureness. She never felt...worthy or like she could measure up to him or that she was good enough but right now, the way he's attentive to her concern and hasn't thrown it out like a petty worry. He loves her…adores her…they have a bond like something I have never seen or experienced before. It's...peaceful to be around for once."
The duo looked down to see the man answer Bella's question.
"…I'm not going to lie and say that Emily hasn't helped me. matter of fact I'm going be honest babe, other then Seth Emily has been my crutch. But…I never told her anything and the reason why you see me next to her all the time…it has to do with Leah joining the pack and Sam's fear that Leah might try to attack her. and honestly, I wouldn't put it past her. Leah feels like Emily stole Sam from her and in a way she did, but it was out of Emily's control at the time. I mean, if Emily had been told the whole truth and what her options were, things would not have gone down like they did. But in regard to any feelings I may have for her, they are purely sibling like. But it has caused tension between Sam and I. I don't agree with some of his decisions lately and it has really pissed me off I- "
The man was cut off when his phone rang. After a couple minutes, he turned back to Bella, an irritated sigh escaping his lips.
I'm sorry honey, one of my clients, their pipes broke, and I have to go fix it. Why don't you go inside, and I'll call you tomorrow morning? Get some rest and if you have a nightmare call me…ill be here in a jiff."
With that said, they shared another passionate, long kiss and Bella went inside.
As soon as she was gone, the guy turned around looked up and said "you blood suckers done spying?! And you better not mess with my girl! She's had enough of your guys sparkly bull crap!"
Emmett and jasper immediately hopped down from there hiding spots and approached the mutt.
"you got some nerve showing your faces around here." he growled
Emmett hissed and said "you forget that forks is our territory and technically your trespassing. You also got some nerve putting your filthy hands on my little sister."
"Why are you two lingering outside her house? She told your family no. leave it at that. I won't tell you not to ever visit her because she's free to choose who she hangs out with…but if I find out either of you hurt her…ill rip you to shreds and burn your body to ashes."
Emmett's face broke into a sly grin when he heard this.
"…were just here to talk to her that's it." Emmett admitted "I ..know she's been through a lot and I see Bella as a little sister and I truthfully just want her to be happy. I cant imagine the stress and pain she went through when we left and I guess what hurts the most and I know it hurts her, is that no one asked her if she was okay and to make it worse, none of us ever apologized. I guess that's what I'm here for. Just to apologize."
The wolf sighed and nodded.
"…i see. Well, just make sure you don't upset her…i.,.i have to go. Remember what i said…ill burn your body to ashes, if she gets upset."
Emmett and jasper watched the glowing eyed shapeshifter leave.
"oh man…what the heck are we going to tell Edward?" Emmett asked
"we don't tell him anything yet. For now, you better go talk to Bella before Charlie gets home.''
…
Bella pov:
Bella bit her lip in anxiety. She had read the paperwork a thousand times and still didn't understand.
It...it wasn't possible…was it? she had that surgery a year ago…and it just didn't make sense but then again, she hadn't asked the doctor for details either. She had been too confused and too afraid.
With a sigh she fell back unto her bed. Only three more months of school and then she would graduate. What the heck was she going to do? and something else that bothered her was Emily. The women was sweet and caring and Bella had only been to her house once. When she first found out about the wolves…so she didn't know much. But Bella knew a woman and she knew what longing stress looked like and Emily was definitely giving Bella's man longing stares. But why? Emily had Sam. She was the pack den mother? Why would she long for another guy? Sam seemed like good guy. The looks just unnerved Bella and made her think that something more was at play. Something more then just a sibling bond and maybe her wolf just wanted to ignore it.
A tap on her window brought her out of her current dilemma.
Who could be at her window this late? It couldn't be Jacob he was busy with the pack and Edward hadn't contacted her in a week so who?
With ease, she pushed her curtain away to see Emmett Cullen's smiling face.
"baby bell, you and I have much to discuss."
...
Bella was beyond surprised to see Emmett at her window.
"Emmett! What are you doing here! why are you here! Did Edward send you!?"
"Relax baby bell. Its just me. I just...well, uh, can I come in? I don't want to put a hole in the wall?"
Bella sighed and let him through.
"Thanks i-"Emmett suddenly stopped when he scented the air.
"What? Oh no do I stink?" Bella asked as she sniffed her armpits
Emmett let out a laugh and said, "actually you do bell, you smell like were wolf and se- oh my god you had sex!"
Bella stepped back, face red as a tomato.
"oh man! I can't believe this! I didn't think you had it in you bells. Are you using protection? Do I need to get you guys some condoms? I mean cause from the way you smell; I would guess you guys did a marathon… Expecting puppies anytime soon?" he joked.
However, Bella didn't find any of it funny.
"Emmett what do you want?" she said close to tears
"holy shit. Aww bells I didn't mean to make you cry. I'm sorry, I was just joking around. Man, your wolf is gonna kick my ass. I'm not gonna lie and say I'm not concerned. Well the whole family is, look little sis, I'm here for three reasons. One, to check on you. Two, to find out what why your leaving our family but after seeing you with that guy, it makes sense and three to apologize."
By now Emmett had reached a cold hand out to hold Bella hands.
"Bella…our whole family packed up and didn't say goodbye. I mean. no phone call, no email, and I don't know exactly how Edward told you we were leaving but I know it had to hurt I mean I cant be away from rose for long, so I cant imagine how you were feeling and what's really screwed up is that you were willing to vote and hear our opinions about a major decision for your life and yet when it was time for us to leave. We never even thought about it. we just followed Edwards demands and left…. So... I'm so sorry Bella. I really am. I'm sure Edward had told you before, but we are selfish creatures."
By now, Bella was crying.
"Emmett y-you have no idea…the pain I went through when you guys left. I mean you all just took off. No one said goodbye and no one even told me why! That's what really hurt! There wasn't even a reason! Edward took me to the woods and just said he didn't want me and that it had all been a game! And deep down…deep down I am still so angry and still so pissed at all of you! You all just left and didn't look back! And how stupid did I look going to save Edward, when all this time …he never called to check on me, never emailed…none of you did! I mean…I was depressed for months! I had nightmares! I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep! I mean I was having goddamn hallucinations Emmett! Hallucinations! don't you know how crazy I felt! Afraid I would forget! Afraid I would forget you guys! And then for you all to just return like nothing happen! Its hurts Emmett! Its hurts so much."
Emmett quickly scooped Bella up as she began to sob. His own eyes filled with tears that would never shed.
"I'm so sorry. so sorry. no amount of time and nothing we could ever do will take away the pain you have suffered. You deserve better. So much better."
Once Bella's sobs stopped, Emmett spoke again.
"…are you happy? …with the guy you're with now?" he asked
"yes. I have never felt anything like this …"
Emmett sighed. This would complicate things.
"As long as you are happy, then I will fight fo you Bella. Screw what anyone says. Just be happy."
Emmett and Bella were so focused on their conversation that they didn't here the heavy boots coming up the stairs until it was too late.
Bella's already cracked open door, was pushed open by Charlie swan.
"What the hell is going on in here?!"
Emmettt quickly put Bella down.
"chief swan, hi. I'm sorry, for being here so late. Bella and I needed to talk."
"Late? Its 12 am! Does your father know you here!? and why are you in Bella's bedroom.? You know what just leave. I will be calling your father about this."
Emmett quickly nodded and followed Charlie down the stairs but not before he sniffed Bella's room and with quick lips said something. She hadn't been able to catch it.
As soon as they were gone, jasper hale appeared.
"Bella?"
"jasper?" she called out in surprise.
"listen I need to ask you something…before Emmett left, he said he smelled something strange. Has anyone been in this room other than a wolf or Edward?"
"not that I know of? why what's going on?" she asked
"Bella tell me quickly; do you see anything missing or out of place?"
Bella looked around and was going to say no but then she saw it.
"my red blouse. Its been on the rocking chair for two weeks straight and now it's gone."
Jasper nodded.
"I understand. Listen Emmettt or I will be contacting you soon. Stay close to those wolves of yours."
And within the blink of an eye, He was gone.
…
Charlie swan was getting ready to chew his daughter out but stopped when he looked at her. Her eyes were red and puffy and under them were dark circles and right now, it looked like she was trying to hold herself togather.
"Dad, I'm sorry. I didn't realize how late it was or I would have sent him home. I promise nothing happened…Emmett was just here to…to apologize for how his family left and…I sort of went off on him. I promise it won't happen again."
"They sent the big one to apologize for what Edward did? That doesn't make any sense. I can see why you went off on him. I wish I had been here sooner; I would have shot him. I'm going to have a word with Dr. Cullen. I wish I would have listened to Billy sooner. I mean look at you baby girl. You look like death. Y-"
"I told Edward I wasn't going to take him back, last week."
Charlie was honestly surprised.
"So…you've been hanging out with Jacob recently? I mean you haven't been home, especially since we've been getting home around the same time recently and also where's your truck?"
"uh not jake and my truck is being fixed, it should be back in the morning. My friend is …dropping it off. And um speaking of friends…one of them is having a dinner at their house and I want you to come. Think we can do that instead of going to port angles?"
"what friend?' he asked
"you don't know them. But you'll meet them in the morning, if you haven't left for work yet."
"So, you and Edwin are really over? Because if I need to, I will ground you again."
Bella smiled.
"yeah dad."
Charlie sighed and pulled his only child into an awkward hug.
"I am still very upset at you and right now Bella I need you to just...be smart ok...there ..there have been some strange murders going on in Seattle and I need you to be careful .Do you hear me Bella Marie swan? I need you to be careful. No more running away and leaving me notes. Please because I…. I can't lose you too."
...
Bella sighed as her lover kissed her goodbye.
"alright, now your truck should be able to go faster then five miles an hour and with the new paint job, it should better about itself." He joked
"hey, don't hate on old Bessie."
"mmhmm, thanks for breakfast by the way and the early dessert." He smirked as he pulled down her collar to see the hickies and the bite mark that lingered right under her collar bone.
"oh hush. You know were gonna have to get more groceries. You ate all the French toast. So, I'm gonna have to get more flour, eggs and milk. Oh and-"Bella's rambling was cut off with another kiss.
"those vamps made you upset, didn't they? You look like you don't sleep." He told her as he put a hand on her forehead.
"hey, you're kind of warm? You ok baby?"
Bella instantly folded her arms around her middle.
"I-I'm fine. I'm fine ...hey I have to get to school. ill-"
"Dammit Bella stop. Stop this babe. Now you know I never push unless I absolutely have too. So, I'm asking you Now what's wrong? Normally you'll tell me but you...you've been sick...lately and your scent has changed and whatever medication you've been taking it…"
Suddenly he stopped and Bella felt herself being engulfed into hot arms.
"oh honey. Babe, I love you no matter what. I promise you; nothing will change that. now, go on and get to school. I'll meet you after my patrol and not me then definitely Seth. Just meet me at home ok. Oh yeah. Before I go."
He pulled something out of his pocket.
"Don't worry. I made them with my own two hands"
Bella took what he held out to her and gasp.
Two small moon stone earrings that match the ring her left hand.
"I just figured you needed something to match the ring. Alright babe. Ill see you
soon."
Bella swallowed and thanked him.
She had never received earrings from anyone before, nevertheless worn them. Not even on prom.
…..
Bella sighed as she look at her planner. She had two quizzes coming up, one paper due and a doctor's appointment on Friday. It was always better to schedule them on a weekday instead of weekend. less people.
The lunchroom was crowded and to her surprise, none of the Cullen's had shown up. it did relieve her though; she didn't want anyone hanging over her shoulders. Speaking of that she had to resist punching mike newton in the face. He was with Jessica, but he kept trying to make googley eyes at her. it was really annoying.
"Bella those Earrings are really pretty" Angela commented. "where in the world did you by them."
"huh? Oh well, actually they were hand crafted by a friend. He does glass work and blacksmithing. He just made these in his spare time."
"Really! You think he can make me some! With the senior dance coming up I would relay like to have a pair! Does he make sets?"
Bella hand instinctively fidgeted with the ring on her left hand.
"oh my gosh! Did he also make that?" Angela asked
By now all the girls at their table were fawning over Bella's ring
"yes. I- I can ask him. see if he's interested."
"Wait why is it in your left hand?" Jessica asked
"oh my gosh! Edward proposed!" Angela squeaked.
In this moment, the Bella could have done anything to divert the conversation from their current topic. But in a way she felt like she would be betraying her wolf. She needed to stop being afraid and stop caring what others would think or what they would say.
"um no. Edward and I are no longer togather."
Her table of Friends went quiet.
"Ar-are you serious?" Eric asked
"yes. He left me and he hurt me. I deserve better than him. I …met someone who fits me perfectly. Any way...I was actually wanted to know if you all wanted to go up to port Angeles or something. Kind of just hang out…look...I've been a shitty friend and you all tried to help me out in your own way, but I was too blind to see it and I'm sorry. I got so caught up with the Cullen's that I forgot about my real friends."
Once again, the table was quiet. What could they say? They hadn't expected her to break up with Edward none the less, apologize for how she had distanced herself from them.
Before she knew it, Bella had somehow gotten sucked into a group hug.
"come on Bella! cheer up! we've all had bad days! All's forgiven." Eric stated for the whole Group.
"hey instead of us going out to eat, it'd be great if you could cook for us Bella! it would be awesome to have some of your brownies!" Tyler suggested.
Bella looked at her circle of friends, still smushed between Angela and Eric. Growing up, she had always been a loner. A nerd. Nose stuck in a book…but, then she came to forks and she met…these guys. Angela, Eric, Jessica, Tyler and mike.
"I have a better idea. I cook dinner and give you guys the address. Make sure you bring a swimsuit."
…..
At the end of the school day Bella waved goodbye to her friends and headed to her truck. However, she stopped dead in her truck when she saw who was leaning against it.
Edward.
With a sigh, Bella headed towards him. However, Bella didn't get a chance to approach him because two thigs happened at once.
A motorcycle pulled up, obviously causing people to stare and at the same time, a jeep and a hummer pulled up as well.
Just what the heck was going on?
The helmet was pulled off the motorcycle rider to reveal Jacob but at the same time, the hummer door opened to reveal Emmett and the silver jeep opened to revel Seth clearwater.
"Baby bell!" Emmett cheered
"Bell!" Seth called
"Bells!" Jacob called
Bella groaned. She felt like she was going to puke. Lunch and breakfast had been thrown up and nothing settled her stomach.
Please don't barf. Please don't barf.
However, the smell of lavender chai tea, had Bella steady on her feet.
"Here ya go big sis." Seth said as he handed her the Starbucks cup
"Seth!? You brought me Starbucks?"
"uuh yeah. Last thing I want is you puking in the jeep, or the truck. I heard the engine on that baby. It sounds awesome and the paint job looks great. And did you see the new leather interior. They did a great job. Hey jake."
Seth said as he greeted the older guy.
"Seth what the heck are you doing here? your supposed to be on patrol?"
Seth demeanor immediately changed. He immediate went from happy to angry within seconds.
"Don't talk to me like I'm a little kid Jacob. because I'm not. My patrol is being covered." Seth growled
"are you ready to go bell?" he asked as he ignored Jacob.
Bella didn't respond because Edward and Emmett approached.
"What are you doing here mutt?" Edward hissed.
"I came here to warn you. "Jacob directed at Edward and Emmettt with serious eyes. "If your kind come on our land again…"
"wait? What? What happed?" Bella asked as she looked around at the supernatural men.
"Hey bell. We gotta go. We have that thing to do remember?" Seth quickly urged
"but-"
"Don't worry, ill explain everything. Now come on!" Seth said cheerfully.
Bella was still confused but managed to head to her truck. However, she didn't fail to hear Emmett's scolding.
"What the hell are you doing here Edward! You were told to give her some time! you inconsiderate jerk!"
"me! why are you here!? you saw her last night and had the nerve to bring jasper around her! you know how he is!"
"Carlisle told us to stay home! Especially with all the strange murders going on! We don't have time for fighting and look here do-uh Jacob, I didn't cross on your land on purpose. I swear it was an accident. I just wanted to catch that nomad. So, if you're going to be angry at someone be angry at me. not my family. Besides…that silver wolf and I were working togather pretty well."
Bella gasped. Emmett and her wolf had worked togather?
"yeah and he got in trouble for that! his job is guarding our land, not cozy up with leeches. Now I won't say it again. Stay off our land and if Carlisle has a problem, he can call Sam!"
Wait, her wolf got in trouble! With quick reflexes, Bella put her truck in reverse and sped off to la push. Of course, Seth somehow sped next to her and motioned her to take the shortcut.
Fifteen minutes later, Bella was home. The home she shared with him. As soon as she parked, she bum rushed Seth.
"What did Jacob mean by Paul being in trouble?! What happen in the past forty-eight hours! She had just saw him this morning!
"Seth! What happened! Why is he in trouble with Sam!?"
Seth sighed and pulled out his spare key to her and her wolfs home.
"I'm sorry Bella, it happened right after you left for school. some nomad was running through forks and then tried to come unto our land. That's when the big burly one crossed over and instead of snapping at him, well our guy decided to help him out. They were actually tag teaming but then the pack saw what was happening and Sam alpha ordered him back. By then the nomad got away. after that, Jacob and Leah had some very…uh ...mean words for him and this obviously riled him up and then they got into a fight but don't worry we heal fast. He'll be ok."
"So…what are going to do?" she asked
"well, Sam and Carlisle are going to meet and discuss things are there own terms. This is the same nomad we've been dealing with from when the Cullen's left."
"do…do we know who it is?" she asked as she turned the oven on. Hands shaking. Something deep down told Bella she already knew.
"I have no idea…someone with red hair."
That's when Bella saw black.
….
Emily young sighed as she put the meat loaf in the oven. Tonight, they were going to have a pack only bonfire. Sam needed to discuss a lot of things with the pack and everyone including the imprints and Elders needed to be there.
Her mind was running a mile a minute. So much was going on. Leah's resentment, Seth odd and very disrespectful attitude and the return of Rachel black. To everyone's surprise, Embry call had imprinted on her. They were such polar opposites. It was odd seeing them togather, but they worked out well. Emily couldn't say the same for herself. She and Sam had been…struggling recently. With Leah joining the pack, Sam had a front row seat to her pain over the years and with him having to meet the leader of the Cullen coven, she knew he was stressed. However instead of taking comfort in her, Sam had shut her out. If he wasn't with the pack, or working, he was sleeping, and she just didn't understand it.
Another person who was on her mind was… no, she couldn't think about him, that way. But she couldn't help it. when she was alone…and in the shower…she would…fantasize. His hands on her. holding her, touching her…his fingers trailing down her-
The smell of burning quickly brought Emily out of her fantasies.
"oh man!" she cried.
Emily threw her oven mitts down in frustration. Her heart hurt for him. The Fight, he, Jacob and Leah had gotten into was horrible. And while he won the fight, it didn't mean he hadn't been hurt. Matter of fact as soon as soon as Sam got down yelling at all three of them, he took off.
Maybe she could go see him. He would need some comforting and maybe he could help her with the dinner for the pack.
With her mind made up, Emily sought out to find his house.
…..
The walk was long, and she truly had no idea where she was going. He had never invited anyone to his house. The pack was not welcome, but one thing he did do was give Emily his address. Only for emergencies, he told her.
Emily Felt special. Ever since Sam assigned him guard duty, she had been head over heels. He helped her around the house, helped her with errands and in general he made her laugh. He could be a jerk sometimes, but he was sweet. He wasn't like Sam at all. He was…mysterious. There was something about him that not even the pack could see. You could see it in his eyes. The mysterious silver lighting that glowed through them.
Emily stopped when she found the address. It didn't make sense, though…this house…it was nice, and it was near the riverbank. In front of it was a blue colored boat. Around the house however was big brown fence. This couldn't be his address. He lived with his father and his uncle, didn't he? Emily moved closer and tried to see if she could look over the fence, but it was too tall. However, she did she a big enough hole to look through and what she saw before her…had her frozen to the spot.
There on all fours was Bella swan, head tilted back, eyes closed and mouth open, releasing words Emily would never think she would hear.
Lime Alert! Lime alert!
"Paul! Faster! Faster!"
Emily felt herself get angry Especially when he spoke.
"No. one. Will. Touch. You! I swear babe! Do you hear me! no leech is going to get you! Your mine. Say it! say it Bella!"
"I'm yours! I'm yours! I'm- Aah"
Emily watched in disgust and yet yearning as Paul bit down on Bella's shoulder, letting out his own growl of release.
Emily had seen enough. with a new chip on her shoulder she quickly ran back to her own home.
…..
Paul scooped up his fiancée and brought her into the house.
"Paul? How did we end up making love in our backyard?" she asked sleepily.
"you passed out when Seth told you about the crazy red head. I came home about five minutes after that and sent him out for a while. He's been staying in the boat house, but I didn't want to ruin his ears. My wolf was on high alert after dealing with those leeches and then dealing with the pack. All we could focus on is you, all I had to do was lick you in a few places to get you up."
"ohhh." She simply said as she wrapped herself up in their dark grey blankets.
"I met that big burly bloodsucker…he's not so bad. We actually make a great team, that was until Sam stopped us. But I meant what I said babe. You don't have to worry. We won't let that red head get to you. Sam is actually meeting up with the doctor leech as we speak. They think she might be responsible for some of the missing people in Seattle, but they don't know. We'll see. But like I said, don't worry. We have it all under control. So just don't stress."
Bella yawned, her yes half closed. He could tell she was halfway asleep from the slowing down of her heart.
"ok. Ill try not to stress out, it just so hard …but I don't have a choice any more Stress isn't good for the baby."
