Part 11 - Birth of Child
Months later, the Cullens had left reculanty Forks by force of the others in the two packs, and had no choice to leave and not come back ever again, if did so, they would taken care of the same way as every other vampires were to be. Not welcomed to stay either in Montana or South Dakota either.
Bella grew in size, as months went on without too much of hitches, although her parents still didnt believe Josh was right for her and still tried to get Jacob and herself to date, despite being told that she was very happily married and completely mated to Josh. In the end, she had to deliver the papers to both her parents and Jacob, which meant that neither of them are allowed within 10 feet when in same room nor places, and no contact with their grandchild (grandchildren in the future) either.
It made the three very angry and upset to know they would not be able to be close to them or the child they were about to have nor the future grandchildren either. But it was their own fault in this mess either way, as most didnt even speak more than few polite words with them.
Meanwhile, Bella and Josh were getting themselves ready for their baby to be born, as Bella went into nesting mode, and Josh was just more than happy to let her do so and help out when needed, as he went back to working as contractor trader, and was doing really well on his job there. His own sons aswell friends of said sons also went to work with him in this kind of job, Seth and Embry though went ahead to become a cop versus ambulance driver. And they all thrived in their work.
Their due-date came and went, then on April 4th, Bella's waters broke, 4 days overdue, and the two went ahead to get to the hospital in Forks to give birth there. And on early morning hours of April 5th, their child was born, at 5.12 am. It weighed 8 pounds and 3 ounces, and was 20.5 inches long. And it was a beautiful little girl, they had in their arms now.
Josh called to Sam and Emily's house, where most of the pack were at this time of morning, and Sam answered it, and said
"Uley's residence. Sam speaking."
"Hey Sam. I have some happy news to share with you."
"Hi dad, ok wait a sec, going to press so all of us in the room can hear the news you have for us to hear."
And he pressed on for speakers, and he said
"SO what is the news, dad?"
"At 5.12 AM this morning of April 5th, you and Embry got a little sibling to join the world."
Many cheers broke out, Jacob who was also there went into sulking mode, as Emily said
"What did you have, whats their weight and height, and how is Bella doing?"
"Bella is amazing, did not tear one bit either, as she did it all naturally. But we now have a beautiful little daugther, her weight and height is 8 pounds, 3 ounces. We have a little girl!"
Many went out to cheer again louder this time, as Emily sniffed happily at these news. Jacob harrumped and glared at the phone, while Sam smiled, and said
"Wow congratulations, dad, Bella. Do you have chosen a name too, for the little girl or it hasn't come yet?"
"Oh we have chosen a name." Bella's voice now came through the voice, sounding hoarse and full of emotions, as Josh told her to tell them the name they had chosen for their daugther, and Bella continued after clearing her throat, and said
"Her name as we chosen one, is Ayla Luna Uley. Or in Lakota aswell Quileute, her name will be Moon Child of Spring."
Many cheered now, as both Emily and Sam said how beautiful that name was for this little girl, Embry was happy to hear that they had their child, a daugther and her name was. He said
"Why Ayla Moon for, just wondering where it comes from."
Bella smiled as Josh chuckled abit, as Bella said
"Ayla has always been a favorite of mine, and Moon is for when she was born this early morning, the sun had not come out yet, as the full moon was still up on the sky, and there is where the full name came from. Her Lakota/Quileute name is after the season she was born in, and that she is our little moon child afterall."
"Wow, what a story and beautiful one too. Congratulations again, when are you going to be home again so we get to see this little one?"
"We will be back home this afternoon as the birth went really well to be Bella's first birth naturally and without complications with it."
"Wow ok, so tomorrow we maybe could come over to see your little Ayla then."
"That would be alright with us both. Sam, Embry, could you though go over and take our dog out for a walk?"
"Dog?"
"Yes, we got her few months ago, and she is not trained or well enough to be left alone far too long yet as she is just a puppy."
"What is her name?"
"Her name is Roxy. And she is a black labrador puppy."
Making most smile despite being shocked that the two had time to get a dog during these months before birth of their daugther and have time for it aswell of course. But they hung up, Embry went over to their house, to be happily greeted by a happy puppy, Roxy was like to see him, and he smiled and took her out for a walk, before getting her back inside.
When a car pulled and it was Bella and Josh being back home again from the hospital, so he got the chance to meet little sister of his, Ayla, first of everyone, and he was really exicted and happy to gotten to meet her first of everyone else in the pack. After alittle while, he left to go back home to his own home, as he lived on his own nearby Bella and Josh, as he felt the need to do so, and the two didnt mind it either.
Next day, the two showed up at a bon-fire with everyone there, and in their arms were a little white bundle, and Embry who had met their daugther the day before when he came back inside with Roxy, who also was there that night by Josh's side. He came over and pet Roxy first, who was all happy and go lucky dog around him, then he smiled as he touched the bundle, not that the others knew he had met Ayla before themselves.
Bella and Josh then went over to where he lead them to take their seats, and Joy, Quil's mother who was most friendly with the two afterall, said
"Hey you two, so I heard you had your little baby yesterday."
"Hi Joy, and yes we did." Old Quil said
"So what did you two have yesterday?" Bella smiled, as she said
"At 5.12 AM, all natural birth for me, we were joined by our 8 pounds, 3 ounces, 20.5 inches little baby-girl. Our Ayla Moon Spears or in Lakota/Quileute namesake, her name is Moon Child of Spring."
Many cheered or clapped their hands politely, as Old Quil smiled, as he said
"You chose her quileute and lakota name already?"
"Yes, for when she was born, the moon was up on the sky, and so her name was chosen as Moon Child of Spring, as she is born during Spring time, and her name Ayla means Moon aswell."
Many nodded and Old Quil was also pleased and happy with that, Jacob sat away from them and had a this huge frown and glare on his face towards the two for now. Bella and Josh didnt even notice or acknowlegde him being there.
After some tentative looks and smiles, they went ahead to celebrate the new life being brought into the tribe and membership of Ayla. Jacob, Billy, her own parents sat nearby and had all angry frowns and glares as their daugther were being introduced as a member of their pack and tribe. As she would be the same welcomed to Lakota tribe that they also were part of by her uncle and co-alpha of Josh back in South Dakota in few weeks time.
