Hey you guys I know it's been a while and don't worry this is an actual update. I'm home from the hospital and have been home about a week or so and I've just been so busy there's a lot going on in my life at the moment but I won't bore you with the details.
Thank you all so much for all of the love and well wishes that you guys have shown me it means so much to me and I really appreciate it. Your reviews and PM's put a huge smile on my face.
I don't know how often I will be able to update because of everything that's going on and on top of all of that I have surgery coming up June 18 and they will be taking my thyroid out and it will take 6 weeks to recover so I don't know if I will be able to update during my recovery but I think I should be able to.
So I know I said that I was going to pick up and do the dinner with Charlie and Meredith in this chapter but I've decided that since it's not really important that it won't be needed.
This chapter everything will take a completely different turn and dark times are in this chapter. Just whatever you do please don't hate me but it's just where I see this story going but don't worry they will still get their happily ever after. I promise this is going somewhere just go with it ok? Bella's graduated by now and Nik is pretty much living with her although he sometimes spends the day at his family home with his family. It's also beginning of October in this chapter so about 4-5 months have passed. I will also do flashback in this chapter and they will be in italics. The author's notes are in bold so you will be able to know when the chapter has ended.
Yesterday was my youngest baby Trinity birthday she turned 3!
Happy Mother's Day to all of you beautiful and wonderful mothers I hope you like this chapter I can say that you may enjoy the first half but not the second.
I do not own Twilight or Vampire Diaries.
Last Time…
I ran my hand along the mark on her neck, "you do realize that that's never going away right?" I asked her making sure she understood.
"I know and I don't mind but don't be surprised if my dad ask to meet you."
I nodded my head, "well I've never really met fathers before and hopefully your dad won't hate me too much for marking his only girl."
"Well hey look at it this way I don't think he knows how to kill a hybrid like he does with just vampires." She smiled at me.
"Yeah but if he stakes me it will still hurt." I said.
"Oh stop whining Nik it won't be the end of the world if my dad does try to kill you. Just please try not and kill him I would be really mad at you if you did." She said smiling at me knowing I would never hurt her or her father.
"Ok love I will think about it."
We got out the shower and got our clothes on. I followed Bella outside after making sure she locked up and was in her car safe, "see you later love."
I watched as she pulled off and since I rode with her to her house I blurred home.
I pulled up in front of my aunt's house trying to make sure my hair was covering the bite mark Nik placed on my shoulder. To most people it would look like I was just bit by a wild animal which Nik is pretty wild but I knew my dad would know what it is so I pulled my hair to the side covering the bite.
I used my key and walked into the house.
"Dad." I called out.
"In the kitchen Bella." He called back.
I walked the way towards the kitchen hearing a female's voice that didn't belong to my aunt or my cousin. I walked into the kitchen to see a very pretty woman around Damon's age maybe Elijah's but not much older and she had brown hair and brown eyes sitting on a stool beside my dad and they looked pretty cozy.
She stood up and walked over to me and held out her hand, "hi Bella, I'm Meredith Fell." I shook her hand and looked to my dad curious.
"It's nice to meet you Ms. Fell." I said giving her a friendly smile.
"Oh please just call me Meredith." She said. "I'm going to give you two a minute while I use the restroom." After my dad told her where it was located I sat down on the other stool on the other side of my dad.
"So what's up dad why did you want me to come over?"
"Well I wanted you to meet Meredith and I wanted the three of us to spend some time together. Meredith is a doctor at the hospital I met her the first day we came here she was helping with a case. We are also dating and things are going pretty well. I really like her and I would like it if you two could get to know each other because I can see something more developing between us." He said shyly.
"Well she seems nice so I don't see why I wouldn't get along with her unless she turned into the wicked witch of the west." I said with a smile trying to reassure my dad that I would do my best to get to know Meredith.
"Good, so how is the house coming along?"
"Things are coming along great and I even had the decorator update a few of the rooms where it would look modern but also still have a classic feel to it so that the furniture that is meant to stay in the family has it's on space. I've never been one for decorating but I must admit that it's kind of fun and Caroline helps when she isn't too busy."
"That sounds great Bells and I don't want to see anything until it's done. I will leave all of that to you and besides it's your house now so I won't come over unless I'm invited."
"Dad you are welcome anytime, just let me warn you that Damon is set on making himself right at home." I said laughing at the time he thought he was home alone and walked to the kitchen to get something to drink and he was in his boxers. I just think God he wasn't naked I don't think I would have been able to come back from that one.
"I can only imagine, so how is school coming along?" He asked taking a sip of his drink.
"Good, I have all A's and my finals are next week and I'm sure I will ace everything. Graduation is only two weeks away so I'm excited to be finished with school."
Meredith walked back into the kitchen smiling and I smiled back at her. She seemed friendly enough and I hope we can get along with each other for the sake of my dad.
"Charlie, Bella, I am so sorry but there is an emergency at the hospital but it shouldn't take long so I will see you guys for dinner right?"
My dad got up and said, "yeah, we will see you then sweetheart." I turned my head when he locked lips with her. I love my dad and I'm happy that he found someone but I don't want to think about him and Meredith doing the things Nik and I were doing just this morning.
I got up to get me something to drink while my dad said he would walk Meredith outside. I had forgot that I had my hair covering my bite mark and once I stood back up after leaning down in the fridge I turned around and saw my dad looking at me and his face turned red then blue then purple.
"Isabella Marie Swan what in the hell is that on your neck and before you lie to me let me just remind you that I have a pretty good idea of what that is and I just hope for your sake that isn't what I think it is. So what is it?"
I was too scared to answer how do I tell my dad that I'm mated to a 1000-year-old hybrid.
"Umm it's a hickey dad you know." I said trying to lighten the mood and it didn't work.
"Have you lost your mind do you not know how dangerous werewolves are? I thought you understood when dealing with Jake and seeing Emily with those scares on her face. Who is he I want a name and I want it now." My dad said and I was scared he was going to pass out or have a heart attack from the way his face was changing.
"Ok dad calm down and sit down please you scaring me and I don't want you to have a heart attack because of me." I waited until he sat down and decided to stand on the other side of the island away from him so that I wasn't in reaching distance. Don't get me wrong my dad has never laid a hand on me but this was one time where I thought he just might.
"Ok well dad you remember when I told you I had bumped into a guy in the airport?"
I asked him.
"Yeah what about him?"
"Well I ran into him again at the supermarket the day of the party. Anyways we exchanged numbers. However as you can remember that night Stefan attacked me what I didn't tell you all was how I really got away from Stefan that night.
You see what had happened am I kind of panicked and Stefan almost killed me before help came and the same guy I had bumped into in the airport and supermarket that is also my next-door neighbor saved my life. He is a vampire and werewolf and he was able to compel Stefan to stop attacking me." I said while I sat waiting for my dad to put it all together.
"Wait a minute the only vampires that can compel other vampires are originals and it's only one hybrid in the history of vampires and werewolves. His name is Klaus Mikaelson; you mean to tell me that you are mated to the original hybrid. Damn Bella I think I would have been able to deal with you dating Damon better then being a mate to the original hybrid. Now my only daughter is technically married to a hybrid."
My dad started pacing back and forth in the kitchen mumbling to him and on any other day it would have been hilarious but now I was just hoping he would calm down. I didn't say anything I just waited for him to ask me another question one that I knew was coming.
"Wait a minute you had sex!" He shouted.
Yep that's the question that I was waiting on.
"Dad can we please just not talk about that? How about we talk about the weather or sports anything but this?" I asked mortified.
"Goodness kid couldn't you have waited until I was dead to have sex I mean my God. I want to meet him now so get on your phone and call him tell him that we are on our way to your house and I want him to meet us there."
"Dad please don't embarrass me and promise me you won't try to kill him or I won't call him." I begged him.
"Bella just call him now no arguments. I promise I won't try to kill him as long as he respects me I don't give a damn how old he is."
I pulled out my phone and dialed Nik's number.
"Hello love, how are things going with your dad?"
"Well he wants to meet you and asked that you meet us at my house."
"Now?"
"Yes now we're on our way."
"Ok well I will be there waiting. See you soon love."
"Ok bye Nik." I hung up my phone and looked up to see my dad walking towards the front door. Uh-oh this can't be good. I followed him out the door and gave him the keys to my car.
What I didn't expect was for my dad to speed to get there. What normally takes fifteen to twenty minutes towards the outskirts of town took my dad five and I held on for dear life. When we pulled up in the driveway Nik was already there in his car waiting and I was grateful he decided to drive and not run.
My dad jumped out of the car before he could fully put the car in park completely and I quickly made sure it was in park before getting out of the car and damn near falling on my face to keep up with my dad.
Before I could blink my dad had Nik by the collar of his shirt lifting him up in the air.
"What are you intentions with my daughter?" He yelled in Nik's face.
I must admit I was proud of Nik because not once did he remove himself from my father's hold, which I knew he would have been able to do with no problem he didn't resist at all.
"Now dad you promised so just put him down and please just cool off for a minute." I said running up to my dad to try and get him to let Nik down.
"I will once he answers my question." My dad said.
"Sir I love your daughter and I would never do anything to hurt her you have my word. I will always make sure she's happy and protected." Just like that my dad let Nik down.
"You had better not hurt her or you will deal with me. Another guy said something similar to that and he broke my daughter's heart and I be damned if I let you come in and hurt her."
"I understand completely but Bella wasn't his soul mate like I am so I could never hurt her or leave her it's just not in my nature." Nik said to my dad.
"So she told you about him did she?"
"Yes sir she did and in my honest opinion he was a coward and a little boy that doesn't know the first thing about love."
My dad looked at Nik, "and you know about love?"
"Yes sir and trust me I used to think love was a weakness but now I know it's strengthens you. Since meeting Bella I have wanted to do nothing but become a better person for her. All I want is her happiness and for her to be safe. I love her with all of my heart and soul sir so trust me your daughter is in good hands." Nik said and my dad could see the truth on his face.
"Well son I guess it's time for me and you to get to know each other. I only know about you from the books that have been handed down in our family and I would like to know who Klaus Mikaelson really is. So how about you join us for dinner tonight." I was surprised in the change in my dad he went from zero to one hundred in seconds and he calmed down just as quickly.
"Dad you sure you want to get to know him over dinner. I mean do Meredith know about the supernatural and our family?" I asked my dad wanting to make sure.
"Yes she know remember her family is one of the founding families it's fine. I'm going home to get ready and I guess you guys can meet us at your aunt's house. I have plenty of more questions for you son. Plus no sex until I get to know him better or no sex like ever."
I looked at my dad super embarrassed I can't believe he actually said that.
"I'm taking your car kid so just ride with your wolf man."
"By dad see you later."
He got in the car and pulled off I was too embarrassed to look Nik in the face at the moment.
"Well I guess that went better then expect love. At least no fist was flying right? I guess we can call that success." Nik said while walking beside me into the house.
I can only imagine how dinner will go between my father and my mate.
Now that you're all caught up…
BPOV
I watched as Nik painted one of the rooms closer to the master bedroom and it never ceased to amaze me at how great of a painter he was. I guess after hundreds of years of practice you would be able to perfect anything. While I watched him he didn't notice me standing there because he was so focused on what he was painting and I thought about a day that caught me by surprise at the beginning of August.
I was sitting at one of my favorite tables in the grill having a girl's night with Angela, Rebekah, Caroline, and Bonnie. We made it a point to go out once a week to spend some time together.
"So what do you guys say we go and do some Karaoke?" Caroline asked everyone.
"We can go but I refuse to drink anything that has alcohol in it because it was so wrong what happened last time and I refuse to be caught like that again. I can only speak for myself I can't speak for Angela." I said thinking back to what I can remember the last time we went out for karaoke.
After we decided to go I called Nik letting him know that I would be home later then usual and he let me know that he was with his brothers, Jasper, and Emmett.
We had to drive about an hour outside of town to get to a decent looking karaoke bar that looked pretty crowded and after Rebekah compelled us through the door we found a great spot close to the stage.
Angela and I decided not to drink because we realized we would never be able to keep up with Caroline or Rebekah ever even if we became vampires. The first night I decided to drink with them and they had us drinking Sex on the Beach, which was very good at first with the mix of fruit and tang to it. Until it creeped up on us and we had been drinking them like there was no tomorrow.
I don't how many drinks we actually drank but Angela and I ended up on stage singing Umbrella by Rihanna and Caroline recorded us and let's just say that we have yet to live that moment down. I barely remember the car ride home but I can remember Caroline carrying me into the house and Nik asking her what was wrong with me.
Once they got me upstairs to my room I rushed off into the bathroom where I spent the better part of the night and wee morning hours losing the contents of my stomach. Nik was their the entire time to hold my hair back even if he was chuckling every once in a while when I was cursing the names of Caroline and Rebekah. Once I was done I took a quick shower and climbed into the bed where I slept to after 2 the next afternoon with a killer hangover.
Nik ordered in take-out that I couldn't even keep down and I went back to bed where I just laid on the bed and read a book for a while and I finally went to sleep after deciding my stomach wouldn't let me keep anything down. Nik had even given me some of his blood, which didn't stay down.
I finally emerged from what I thought was just a normal hangover the next day and I was so happy to finally eat something. Nik thought that I might have caught a stomach bug because Angela was fine the very next day around dinner time and I had to agree that I might have picked up a virus or something.
Nik made me spend the next few days just staying around the house and watch TV or read. Eventually he had to handle some business so him, Kol and Elijah drove to Richmond for the day to speak with a witch about something bad that was coming to Mystic Falls. The witch needed to see Nik in person and Kol and Elijah decided to go in case it was some type of setup to try and kill Nik.
Kol decided to bring Angela over to hang with me for a while since Bonnie, Caroline, and Rebekah were spending the day shopping and we sat around talking for a while. It wasn't until Angela asked if I had any pain medicine for cramps that I realized I hadn't had my menstrual cycle since April and I had some spotting in May but that was it.
Angela saw the startled expression on my face and tried to get my attention.
"Bella is everything ok?" Angela asked me looking at me concerned.
"Ang I haven't had my period since April but I had a little spotting in May. I think I may be, but how is that possible when I've only been with a vampire? It just doesn't make sense." I realized I was rambling and finally shut my mouth thinking everything over.
Angela looked thoughtful for a second and then her face just went blank and I realized that I had seen her like this one time before and realized that she was speaking to the spirits. While I waited I tried to calculate everything and knew for a fact that I have defiantly missed a few periods.
Ang finally snapped out of her trance and place her hands gently on my belly. She had a huge smile on her face and I knew in that moment that I was pregnant.
"Yay I'm going to be an auntie." Angela said so quietly that I could barely hear her. "So I talked to the spirits and the you were able to get pregnant because Klaus broke his curse and unlocked his werewolf side. As you know werewolves are able to have children that's the only way to keep their line going.
Before you ask no you will not turn into a werewolf just because you are pregnant by a werewolf and your child will not turn into a werewolf unless they kill someone when they get older so you have nothing to worry about. This pregnancy will also last just like any other pregnancy but I would advise you to tell Klaus as soon as he gets back because I'm surprised he hasn't heard the heartbeat yet but if you wait too much longer he will eventually find out on his own."
I looked at Ang trying to figure out how in the hell am I supposed to tell my mate that's more the a thousand years old that I'm pregnant. He's never been a dad except from when he raised Marcel but he doesn't talk about him much since he died so long ago.
"Ang I don't think I can do this alone, I mean don't get me wrong but what if he doesn't believe me I mean it's not like he knew this could happen?" I asked starting to feel sick with worry.
"Bella just calm down and take a few deep breaths, don't worry about the what if's Nik will believe you and he loves you so it's not going to matter." Angela said trying to give me a reassuring smile.
"Do you think you can stay here while I tell him, I just don't know if I will be able to get the words out." I asked her hoping she would say yes.
"Of course I can and just to make you feel better why don't we go and get some pregnancy test that way you can have the proof in case he can't hear the heartbeat yet. I am however letting you know in advance that since I will be there while you tell Nik, I will not be there while you tell Charlie." Ang said trying to lighten the mood but that just made me feel worse. I hurriedly rushed off and lost the contents of my breakfast. How in the world was I going to be able to break this to my dad?
I smiled while I continued to watch Nik paint thinking about how he reacted was nowhere near how I thought he would react. I placed my hands on my ever-growing tummy and looked around at the work that he was able to get done so far in the room. I was also amazed at how great the room was coming along. I told Nik that I didn't want the same thing that is done all the time but I wanted a little bit of everything but not cluttered and I would give him free reign.
He was able to bring Noah's Ark and a Safari together on one side of the room and where the Ark was on shore and the animals were making their way from the safari to the ark and I just loved it. He had a rainbow going over the animals and while he wasn't working on the other walls yet I could tell that the nursery would be absolutely perfect.
Nik eventually turned around and saw that I was standing there watching him.
"Hey love how was your nap?" Nik asked while making his way to me and giving me a quick peck on the lips.
"It was good, I got hungry and decided to go fix me a snack and saw you working and wanted to see how far you got, and it's looking really good Nik." I said while looking at all the different types of animals he had painted so far.
"Why don't I go and wash my hands and then I will fix us both something to eat." Nik said while going back and closing the paint and putting his paint tools away and everything.
"You do realize you don't have to eat every time I eat right?" I asked while smirking at him. I guess he didn't know that I noticed anytime I was hungry he would eat with me and I knew it was so that I wouldn't eat along.
"I like our little chats over our little snacks besides you can tell me what else you want me to add to the nursery."
I followed him down the stairs and went ahead to the kitchen while he washed his hands in one of the downstairs bathrooms. When Nik came into the kitchen I sat down knowing there was no need for me to even attempt to fix anything because I was starving and Nik moved a lot faster then me. Eventually he place a plate with a couple of sandwiches on it as well as some carrots and celery and a glass of milk. Soon Nik was joining me at the island and we sat and talked for a little while.
"So have you thought of any names yet love?" Nik asked me.
"I've thought of a few such as; Kendall, Kennedy, Brooke, Ivey, Morgan, Montana, Shannon, and Sidney. I tried to think of at least two names for the first letters in our first and last names but I could only think of one if I just went by the B and so I did one for I as well.
However I don't think we should name the baby until we see him or her and see what name we think will fit them better. We can still write down all the ones that we both thought of and can come up with two separate names one for a boy and one for a girl and that's why I tried to pick names that would fit either a boy or a girl." I told Nik while finishing my sandwich.
He nodded his head, "I think I can agree with you there so I will come up with some gender neutral names and then we can sit down and see what combinations we like and think would go well together."
After talking for a little while longer Nik told me that he would make dinner reservations for us later this evening and told me to be ready around five which was a couple of hours away since we would be driving to Petersburg which had an Italian restaurant that he found out about and thought that I would like to try it. I went upstairs and while I was trying to decide what to wear I thought back to the day when I found out I was pregnant and when I told Nik.
After Angela and I got back to my house with the many pregnancy tests I went to the downstairs bathroom since I had been guzzling water since before we left and while we were out. After using the many different pregnancy tests I sat them all out on the counter and quickly washed my hands and waited for the timer to go off. We made sure we got the test that takes the same amount of time so they would be ready at the same time.
Once the timer went off I checked all of them to see a positive, which I knew Angela was right I just wanted to make sure none of them were negative. I could hear the front door open and I heard Nik ask where was I. I could hear Ang tell him that I was in the bathroom and I would be out in a min.
The next thing I know is my nerves got the best of me and I started losing everything that I had for lunch and I knew all the guys could hear me. I wanted to do this after Kol and Elijah left so that I could break the news to Nik with Ang's help but now I knew that wasn't going to go as planned.
As soon as Nik heard me vomiting he vamped into the bathroom and before I could react he saw all the different pregnancy test on the counter. He picked them up looking them over one by one and looking at the different boxes.
"Bella, love what is going on?" I could hear the nerves in his voice and Elijah and Kol both heard it as well before they made their way into the bathroom as well. They looked the test over just like Nik did and looked at me shocked.
I was so thankful that Angela came into the bathroom and pulled Elijah and Kol out so that I could talk to Nik alone.
"Umm surprise?" I said it as a question.
"How is this even possible love?" He asked me just as confused as I was earlier.
"Ang said something about your werewolf half being able to conceive and have children because werewolves pass on the gene to their children." I said quietly feeling sick once again.
"So that's why you was so sick the day after you had been drinking with the girls the first time right?"
"Nik trust me if I had known I never would have drank." I said feeling guilty about drinking and not knowing I was pregnant.
He sat down on the floor beside me and pulled me into his arms, "I know you would never intentionally do something like that love and I'm sure everything will be fine and the baby will be perfectly normal and healthy."
"So you're not upset then?" I asked while pulling back to look into his eyes.
"Of course not love, I'm sure the timing isn't all that perfect for you but I never knew this was possible but I am so happy that you are carrying my child." He said with a genuine smile on his face.
We sat on the floor and Nik held me for a while before Kol rushed into the bathroom scooping me up and wrapping me into a tight hug. "I'm going to be an uncle he shouted so loud that it hurt my ears but I couldn't bear to tell him that he was hugging me to tight because he was just so happy. Eventually Elijah made his way into the bathroom hugging both Nik and I and congratulating us both. Angela was right telling Nik wasn't to hard I was just worried how Charlie would react.
I was finished getting dressed and making my way downstairs to where Nik was already at the bottom of the stairs waiting for me. I had a strange feeling in my stomach but I just started feeling little flutters in my belly and knew that it was the baby moving around although I have yet to feel an actual kick. I ignored to feeling because everything feels different to me while I'm pregnant and I'm slowly learning new things every day.
In the end Charlie surprised us all when he seemed so happy to become a grandpa and he wasn't upset at all. Aunt Liz was just as happy and made me promise that I would never move away and not visit I knew that her missing out on my life hurt her a lot just like missing out on Caroline's life hurt my dad just as much.
Nik held my hand while he drove like he normally do kissing it every once in a while and we talked about different things that we needed to do and buy before the baby gets here. We had plans to go shopping for the nursery this weekend because I wanted to actually talk to someone in the store and ask questions even though Nik was completely fine with ordering everything online but he decided it would be a good idea to come with me.
Every time Nik drives he always looks at me for long moments and its something that I've gotten used to because he is a vampire and had great reflexes but while he was looking at me this time that strange feeling came back to me but it felt a hundred times worse and when I glanced up I looked into the feral eyes of the one and only Alice Cullen and before I could tell Nik to look out Alice ran head first into the car causing it to flip a number of times and Nik reached out to pull me to him. Only even as a vampire he wasn't fast enough and my seatbelt gave way and I was ejected yards from the car. The last thought to cross my mind was my unborn baby before the world around me went black.
So guys be sure to tell me what you think of this chapter. I'm not going to tell you what will happen next I just hope you guys don't hate me for ending the chapter there and I know on Mother's Day I am a truly terrible person huh?
Be sure to tell me any gender neutral names that you can come up with or just any name in general I am always open. Be sure to tell me what you would like to see happen and I'm not going to say that it will necessarily happen but I still like to know what you guys think.
Before you try to get mad just to be fair I did give you guys fair warning at the beginning of the chapter that dark times was coming ahead.
So of course in the next chapter we find out if the baby survives and what will happen to Alice. I will say this much Nik is beyond pissed of course since his mate was intentionally hurt because even when Bella is hurt on accident he is still pissed.
I will do my best to update as soon as I can but please keep in mind that I have a lot going on in my life right now so I will only be able to update when I have free time but I promise to do my best and make the chapters worth the wait.
Be sure to let me know if there is someone or something you would like to see make an appearance or happen and I will do my best to try and make it happen.
Until next time…
