Chapter 5 :
Bellas's POV:
When I woke up, I was surprisingly... warm. Not like hot when I was with Jacob, physically and mentally. But I got out of bed and walked to the window, and put my stomach on my hands on my stomach. I had never felt so sad, cold, or alone... yet, I had also never felt so happy, warm, and... not alone. Then I heard Charlie walking down the stairs to make breakfast, and turned around, terror replacing everything again. I had to tell Charlie right away. I quickly went over and started to get changed, and went to the bathroom to do my normal routine. Then, I headed downstairs to talk to Charlie. When he heard me, he turned around.
"Morning Bells, how'd ya sleep?" Charlie said.
"Morning dad, I slept good. Dad... can I um... talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure Bells, what's wrong?"
"Ummm... well, I'm... pregnant." I blurted out, rushed, out of breath.
"What!" He yelled, getting up so fast and hard, it made the chair fall down, causing me to step backwards, bumping into the table, and I grabbed it for balance, and I noticed that my hands started shaking. Charlie never acted like this... ever. I must have had a scared fame because he softened, and picked up the chair.
"I'm sorry..." He said. "But Bella, you're only 18 years old! What are you going to do? Are you going to keep it, or..."
"I'm keeping it, I don't believe in abortions. And I don't think I could live with myself if I killed it."
"Hmmm..." He said, running his hands through his hair.
"Well at least it's not Edward, it's Jacob, and you've known him since he was a baby, he's family to you." I said, quietly.
"Well, there is that." He muttered, to himself. "Does Jacob know?"
"No... I was planning on telling him today."
"Oh, okay." He said. "Well, you go ahead, I'll see you tonight at Billys."
"Kay, thanks dad, I love you." I said, turning around. It was around 3pm, I had to hurry up, so that I could meet him. I ran out the door. Yelling, "Bye dad, see you tonight."
"Ok, bye Bella, see you then." He yelled, back. It started raining hard, when I was almost at Jacob's place. When I got there, Jacob was just getting back from patrol. I got out, and started running to him. "Jake!" I yelled. And he turned around, and stood there, arms crossed, around his bare chest.
"What are you doing here, Bella?" He said. "I though you were with the bloodsuckers, again!"
"I came here, because I needed to tell you something... important." I said, daring to smile thinking about our miracle baby, tearing up.
"What?"
"I'm... I'm pregnant." I finally choked, looking down, waiting for him to start yelling.
"Why are you telling me this?" He demanded. I looked up at him, and felt the pain in his chest, it was like his our hearts were slowly being ripped apart.
"I thought you'd want to know."
"Why would you think that? First you run off on me, the minute he comes back, and now your pregnant with his baby, and I'm at the top of you're, to-be-notified list. What the hell Bella?" He said, his voice cracking. I winced, my eyes flooded with tears.
"I've never been with him, I've only ever been with you." His eyes went wide, and he picked me up, and started kissing me, very passionately. I was confused, and it took me a few seconds to return the kiss. Then he broke the kiss, and started pleading...
"Oh Bells, I'm so sorry. I just assumed... oh shit... I had no idea. Please forgive me, Bells."
"You not mad?" I said, looking at him confused.
"Oh jeez honey, why would I be mad at you, your pregnant with my... our baby."
"Oh Jake." I said, throwing my arms around his neck, while he kissed me again. And brought me inside.
"I'm sure Billy already knows, cause of my dad!"
"You told him?"
"Yes."
"Is he mad?"
"Pissed off, but he's less mad, and happy it's you, not Edward."
"Me too." When we walked in, Billy greeted us right away.
"Congrats, to both of you."
"Thanks Billy." I said.
"But, were going to have a talk tonight."
"Yes, please... we need to get organized. Would a bonfire work?" I asked.
"If it stops raining, why not?"
"Ok." Then me and Jacob heading to the beach. For the next few hours Jacob and I were on the beach, under a tree, talking about baby stuff. I was sitting on his lap, curled up in his arms, that were keeping me, and the baby warm from the cold. First we talked about baby names. "If it's a girl, why don't we name her... Mara..."
"Julie," he offered.
"Black!" I finished. "Mara Julie Black. Oh my god Jake I love it!" I whispered.
"And if it's a boy... Aidan..."
"Charlie Black," I finished, in a whisper.
"Aidan Charlie Black." He murmured. "I love it."
"Mara Julie Black, or, Aidan Charlie Black."I said, looking up at him. He smiled adoringly at me, and bent his face down to kiss me.
"Bella... I'm so sorry for getting mad. It was so horrible on my part. I feel disgusted with myself. I can't even begin to explain or tell you how incredibly sorry I am, it's unforgivable..." He said, his breath hitched, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw him tearing up. And I suddenly felt horrible too. And I began to fell the pain and sadness in my chest again. And he looked away, and I put my hand on his cheek, and brought his face back to mine, and kissed him with so much love, that I could barely stand it.
"It wasn't your fault, I was the one that wanted to go in the house with Alice and him... I would be mad too." I said, kissing his forehead. He took my face in between his hands.
"Bella, don't you dare blame your-" I silenced him, by kissing him. And for a second he almost tried to reject it, and then he kissed me back.
"I love you." I murmured, kissing his neck. He moaned,
"I love you too." He murmured back. And then we just cuddled, for a few minutes. And then we talked about the actually situation, we graduated a month ago. I started calculating the time and money, then wrote it on a paper to give it to our dads. We were ready to face Billy and Charlie. We sat there for while, and it stopped raining, we could have the bonfire. We got up, and went to the truck. When we got back, it was already dark, and Billy and Charlie, and had a bonfire going.
"Hey guys." I said, sitting down on the log, with Jacob.
"Hey you two," my dad said said. "You guys figure things out?"
"Yup." I said.
"Okay, for starters... houses. We have a surprise for you two, just until you guys can get set up, I'm going to move in with Billy, and you two can move into my house!" He said. My eyes filled with happy tears, and Jacob was gasping. I ran out to hug Charlie.
"Thanks dad!" I said, Jacob hugged and thanked Billy. Then I hugged and thanked Billy, as Jacob did with Charlie.
"Oh, and no need to worry about baby furniture, because I have Bella's baby stuff in storage." Charlie said.
"Oh my god you guys, I... we don't know how much to thank you enough!" I said, practically on the verge of tears.
"Ummm... I have you guys tho-thought of baby names?" Billy, asked nervously.
"Yes, Mara Julie Black, if it's a girl." I said.
"And, Aidan Charlie Black, if it's a boy." Jacob said.
"Ju-Julie... he trailed off, while Charlie was gasping. We were both grinning. Just at that moment, it started raining again. What was it with this rain? Charlie started wheeling Billy inside, while Jacob started putting the fire out. Then he came and said
"We really do have the best dads ever, don't we!" Jacob said, grinning, while he picked me up, kissing my neck.
"Yes, we do!" I said, giggling. After that Charlie, Jacob, and I went home. And Charlie packed what he needed for his time at Billy's.
"Night Bells, love you." He said, hugging me.
"Night Jacob, take care of my girl." He said.
"Yes Chief," he said. We were both tired, so Jacob just picked me up, and took us to bed. I threw on shorts and a tank top, while Jacob just put on some sweatpants, that he brought over. He came over, and picked me up, probably knowing how tired I was, and put me on our bed, climbing next to me, pulling the covers over us. But something was different, Jacob's warm hand was on my stomach, as if to protect the baby from something dangerous. In a weird way, it made me feel better... safe, and I put my hand over his.
"I hope you know that I love you and our baby so much, Bells. I'll always be here for you, and I'll always protect you no matter what." He whispered.
"I love you too." I whispered. "I've always known, and I always will know." I whispered, again. He kissed my neck, and nuzzled against my neck. As we both drifted to sleep.
