Paul was on the verge of lashing out. On his way to Sam's, he phased. What happened the previous night kept repeating itself in his mind over and over again.
Paul didn't think he would be a good father. He didn't know how. For god's sake, his father walked out on his and his mother when he was only ten! And after that, his mother was never around. By the time he was fourteen, he practically raised himself. The Elders helped him the best they could. Sue would make him dinner every day and check up on him. After he phased, Sam and Jared became the second closest thing to being a brother.
Comparing both his and Bella's life, they both had a mother and father who didn't really want them. Bella still had her dad in the picture, which was worse than having no dad.
Behind all those horrible thoughts, Paul saw Bella's face.
He didn't know what he did to get such a beautiful, thoughtful person, but he sure as hell was happy to have her. Bella was his everything and the fact that Bella was having twins was just a bonus.
Paul thought about the twins. He knew that he will try to be a good father for them. He will love them and make sure they felt loved for the rest of their lives.
After Paul was somewhat calm, he made it to Sam's house. He could hear everyone joking around. He could hear Emily murmuring out words from the book she was reading to her kids. As Paul made it through the woods, he growled and phased. Sam acknowledged his presence.
"Ben, ask Emily to bring out a pair of shorts." Sam ordered.
Jared walked up and stood next to Sam, taking in Paul's slightly calmed expression.
"Dude, what the hell happened?" Jared asked.
Emily came out, tossing a pair of shorts in the air. Paul caught them.
"Where's Bella?" Embry questioned, worriedly.
Paul put the shorts on.
"Home." He muttered.
Sam looked at Embry pleadingly and within a heartbeat, Embry was off to see if Bella was okay.
"What happened?" Jared asked again.
Paul explained everything. He didn't leave out a single detail.
"Are you a dumb ass?! You could have killed that man!" Jacob scolded him.
"I wish I did!" Paul hissed. "You didn't see the look in her eyes after he practically destroyed her self-esteem!"
"What if he calls the police?" Jared asked. "You can go to jail."
Sam stepped forward. "Jared's right. Your record won't make anything any better."
Paul sighed, irritably. "I'm not worried about that. Her dad's not the type to call the cops. He seems like he'd just try to get revenge."
"I'm kind of happy Paul knocked him out!" Ben exclaimed. They all looked at him like he was crazy. "What? We all love Bella. He shouldn't have said those things to her. We know Bella's the furthest thing away from being a slut. We all know that Bella's pregnant because Paul couldn't keep it in his pants.
The pack erupted with laughter.
"Man, does Ben have a point!" Jared laughed.
Paul looked away. "Do you guys think she'll ever love me?"
Sam put a hand on Paul's shoulder. "Paul, she already loves you. She just doesn't know that yet."
"How do you know? I told her I'll wait, but there's times where I think she'll never come around. You didn't see her face when I told her about the imprint." Paul looked away, his face tensing.
"You have to give her some time. She just dumped her asshole ex and then met you. Now she's living with you and carrying your children. Just show her you love her every day." Sam told him.
Soon after, Paul went back home to check on Bella. He needed to apologize for leaving her confused. But to his surprise, she was waiting for him; running into his arms and whispering, "I accept."
Paul had to think for a few moments, to absorb what she had just said.
"Do you really mean-"
Bella cut him off. "Paul, I love you. After what happened a few hours ago, it just proved that you're willing to do anything for me. I know you love me, too."
With the biggest smile on his face, he picked her up and took her inside. When they were inside the house, he ran up the stairs and laid Bella in bed, sitting next to her.
"Bella, in order to complete the imprint, I have to mark you," He said, tracing his fingers where her neck and shoulder met. "right here."
Bella smiled and sat upright, pulling his head down into a deep kiss. Paul lifted her up, cupping her ass and squeezing her before lifting her off the ground and up against the wall. Bella wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him impossibly closer. He held her up against the wall, dry humping through their clothes. Bella moaned loudly as he smothered her neck with open mouthed kisses, nipping and biting at the skin.
Together, they took her dress off, leaving Bella in her bra and underwear. Paul brought her back to the bed, placing her down gently against the pillows and blankets. He hovered over her, kissing her lips as if it would be the last time. He snuck his hand behind her back and unclasped her bra in one swift move. He threw her bra across the room and it landed next to the door. Smiling, he took one of her breasts into his mouth, sucking on her nipple. With his other hand, he was groping her other breast, in which Bella whimpered, fighting to moan loudly.
"Come on, Bella, let me hear you." Paul whispered.
"Unh, Paul!" Bella shrieked.
Smirking in response, he released her breast and let his mouth wander the rest of her body. Bella was about to combust - she never felt so lustful in her entire life!
Slowly and teasingly, he bit the top of her panties and dragged them off her body. The moment they were off, she felt his mouth travel up her thigh.
"I want you right now. Make me yours, Paul, please!" She gasped.
Paul smirked and their eyes met. "What's the word, sweetheart?"
"Please, I need you!" She begged.
He kissed her stomach gently and rested his forearms on either side of her head, staring into her brown eyes. Bella's heart fluttered.
He leaned in and kissed her lovingly. At the same time, he entered her. He picked up his pace quickly, not wanting to waste any more time with foreplay.
"Oh god, you feel so fucking good." He growled, picking her right leg up and hooking it around his waist. After a few minutes, Bella couldn't fight it anymore, she needed to climax. A few thrusts later, Paul nuzzled his face against the crook of her neck and as both of them came, he bit her skin.
He lifted his head from her neck and rested his forehead against Bella's, both happiness and uncertainty in his eyes. Bella could feel the love. She could feel the connection, the need to make him happy.
"Say it again, please." Paul whispered.
Bella smiled softly. "I love you." His entire face lit up.
"I love you, too."
For the few weeks, everything was swell. Bella was still kind of upset at her father, which she tried to hide. To be honest, she was more upset about the fact that he wasn't going to be a part of the twins' lives, never mind her own.
Paul had been very busy with work, so she had been hanging out with the girls most of the time. Today, they were all going to Emily's house to have lunch, that is, if Bella could find a shirt that would fit her. All of her pants are either too tight or too short, same goes for t-shirts. Bella managed to find a pair that would fit, and squeezed in. She looked down at her baby bump, resting her hands on it.
"Hey, you two in there, you guys are going to be big, aren't you?" All of a sudden, Bella felt the tiniest nudge in her abdomen, and it made her gasp. Excitedly, she grabbed her cell phone and called Paul.
After two rings, he picked up.
"Black and Lahote." He greeted.
"They kicked!" Bella shouted happily.
"Babe?" He asked, confused.
"Yes, it's me! Who else would call you to say that?"
"Well, you never know what Jared will call for."
Bella laughed. "They still kicked!"
He sighed in response. "That's great." He tried to sound ecstatic, but Bella could tell he was sad and annoyed that he missed it.
"Oh, don't worry," Bella tried to lighten the mood. "there will be plenty more kicks."
"I know, but I wanted to be their for the first."
"Maybe they'll kick later."
"It's fine." He dismissed. "Anyway, I thought you were having lunch with the girls?"
"Well, I have nothing to wear. Everything's either in the wash, or don't fit. Now my bras don't even fit!"
"I think I'm going to like that." He said. Bella rolled her eyes. "Well, I'll call Sam and see if Emily has anything that you could wear."
"Okay. How's work going?" She asked. He's been so busy with work and barely gets to see him. In fact, if it weren't for the imprint, Bella would have thought that he was seeing someone else.
"Right now, asking how my day at work is just like asking how a drive-by shooting went. I'll be thankful if I ever get out alive."
"Aren't there any more staff there?"
"Yeah, but some people only like either me or Jacob working on their car."
"Does you working so late have anything to do with the plans...?" Bella voice trailed off.
"I have no idea what you're talking about. Anyway, I have to go. I love you and the pups, take care." Then he hung up.
Bella thought for a while about these 'plans', but quickly gave up.
In the end, Bella took off the tight pants she was wearing and settled for Paul's basketball shorts and a shirt that was pretty loose fitted. She put on some shoes and walked to Sam and Emily's house. As she made her way to the front door, the door swung open.
"We have bee waiting for you!" Liz grinned.
"Hey, Bella! Paul called and said that you didn't have any clothes that fit you right." Emily said.
Bella shook her head. "I don't."
"Here," Emily said, holding up a dress. "this dress should fit. We don't want you looking like you're about to go to the gym."
Bella frowned in confusion. "I thought we were having lunch here."
"We're going shopping!" Liz squealed excitedly.
"Oh god, help me! I'm not a big shopper." Bella sighed.
"We're going." Kelly interjected.
"We haven't been shopping in a long time." Liz added.
"Come on, Bella." Kelly pleaded, joining them at the front door.
"Okay." Bella muttered.
Bella went into the bathroom and put the dress on. Borrowing some of Emily's make-up and hairbrush, she managed to make herself look decent. When she exited the bathroom, she saw Ben handing Emily what looked like a bank card. Immediately, she thought it was Paul's. She knew he had something to do with this!
When they finally got to the shopping center, they went into a baby shop. They had everything a baby could ever want or need. They had clothing, bottles, baby soothers, toys, bathing supplies, nursery furniture and some safety things.
Bella felt a little overwhelmed. And suddenly, it hit her; she had no idea what she was doing. She only had three months until they were due, which wasn't a lot of time, but damn, she still didn't know half the things a mother should. She really needed to start reading parenting books.
Emily walked up to her. "Are you okay?"
Bella nodded. "I'm a little overwhelmed. I really didn't know there was so many things a baby needed."
Emily chuckled. "Hun, you don't need all of this. Women had babies without this stuff in the past and they turned out just fine. Most of these things is for the parents' sake."
"Yeah, I guess you have a point there." Bella said.
"Now come on, let's go find Kelly and Liz before they buy the twins the entire store." She joked.
Bella and Emily walked through the aisles, trying to find Kelly and Liz. Finally, they spotted the two holding up a green outfit, making remarks about the size.
"I think that's a little small for you." Bella teased.
"Aww, and here I am thinking it would look good on me." Liz laughed. To Bella, these are some of the moments where she thought it made all of their friendships stronger. Thinking about this made Bella think about Angela and how fun they used to have when they went out.
"Do you know what you're having yet?" Liz asked.
"No. Hopefully I'll find out in about three weeks. I've been waiting until I couldn't handle not knowing anymore." Bella explained.
"I hope they're girls. They'd be so cute and all the boys would fall in love with them." Kelly said.
"Paul and I are hoping it will be one of each. A daddy's girl and a momma's boy." They all 'aw-ed' in unison.
Walking over to the Maternity section, Bella was happy to find some t-shirts that would fit her nicely. And walking out of the store with a bag in each hand, she was hoping Paul wouldn't ask her how much she spent.
After walking for a few minutes, they were in the food court. Taking a seat in the little coffee shop, they began to talk.
"How are the twins today?" Kelly queried.
Bella grinned. "Great! They kicked for their very first time today."
"Aw! I remember when Sammie first kicked. Sam was so happy that he called a pack meeting and got all the guys to touch my stomach and feel them. Same thing happened to Kim. I think first borns are very special to the guys."
Bella now knew why Paul was upset today. She felt bad for rubbing it in his face and acting like it wasn't a big deal that he missed their first kick.
"Hey, Emily?" Bella murmured. "Can I ask you something? It's quite personal."
Emily nodded. "Of course!" She answered reassuringly.
"Is it normal to want a lot of sex?" Bella whispered.
"Oh, yes!" Emily nearly yelled in response. "I felt the same way with all three of my children. I was lusting after Sam almost all the time. He absolutely loved it." She smirked.
They laughed and talked a lot more. Emily gave a ton of advice to Bella, which made Bella feel a little bit more prepared.
As Emily drove Bella back home, they noticed Paul's truck in the driveway. When Bella walked into the house, it was completely silent. Maybe he had gone to one of the guys' houses to work on the 'plans'. Bella put her bags in the hallway and went into the kitchen.
Bella took out ingredients and started cooking. When she was almost done with the chicken, she heard a noise in the house. She was alone, though, and all the doors and windows were locked. Except for the back door.
Then, she heard it again.
In a state of panic, Bella took the first object in sight - a broom.
She ran to the nearest window and unlocked it as quickly as she could. Opening it, she let out a loud whistle. Paul had told her that if anything happened, that she must whistle and someone would come running.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her arm. She screamed in response and whacked her captor. They captor fell to the ground, along with Bella and they crashed into the floor with a loud thump.
Scrambling to get up, Bella rolled over to see who her captor was, only to be alarmed and shocked instead.

Beta's Note: Hello, readers! I just wanted to tell you guys that it's my fault that these stories aren't being updated as often as they should, because the chapters go through me before being posted and it takes a while for me to Beta it (to the best that I can) and then send it back to be published.
I'd like to add that I am only 16, therefore I am still in high school, which means that I have homework and classes to concentrate on and I have a limited time to Beta. I'm doing the best I can, and I also want to add that the writer, Allie, is also very busy with her life, too. So, please respect how often these stories are updated and know that we are doing the best we could.
If you have problems with the way I beta, or have any suggestions, please PM me because I'm always open for suggestions and tips.
