AN: now don't get used to the special treatment people! I won't be updating this often normally; I just had this chapter in my head and had to get it down! REVIEW! I don't own anything, sad but true.

Chapter 2:

Complications

Bella sighed as she looked up at the apartment her and Paul were supposed to live in together. They had already paid first and last rent, so she decided to move in while she looked for a less expensive place for her and the lil guy.

She walked around cutting the lights on and was thankful that she and Paul had moved some of their shit in during the beginning of the summer. At least now she wouldn't have to face him for a while. She lay down on the couch and began to cry as the day's events came rushing back to her.

How was she supposed to raise a baby on her own? Money wasn't a problem, when her mom passed Bella and her dad had sued the drunk driver of the 18 wheeler driver that hit her. She sniffled again thinking of what all this baby was losing.

Already it had no grandparents other than Charlie, and no father. Then a thought came to her. The reservation was fiercely loyal. If one of them knew she was pregnant, then all of them did. She cried even harder realizing that she couldn't even tell her father about his grandchild.

Bella, thinking she had wallowed in self pity long enough, drug herself into the kitchen to call her dad and tell him that she had moved a little sooner than originally planned; but that she would call him every time she got the chance.

She then walked into their- no her bedroom and stripped down to her PJ's to get ready for bed. Once comfortably situated she got the Quileute tribe legend book out of her nightstand and began to read it to her lil guy. She rubbed her tummy and told him,

"I don't ever want you doubt where you come from little man."

She smiled as she remembered a time when she was little, and she wanted nothing more than to be a 'protector of the tribe'. She laughed at herself and shook her head at her fanciful thoughts.

A few weeks later Bella was at the hospital for her 18 week appointment. She shuddered at the fact that they were going to have to draw blood. But she supposed that if it kept her lil guy healthy then she could live with a little pain. She smiled absently and rubbed her tummy.

She rose out of the uncomfortable chair as the doctor called her name and ushered her to a back room. She just looked at him as he prepped the needle and pulled out the vials he had to fill. Her eyes widened as he continued to pull out vials until there were at least nine on the stand beside him.

He just smiled at her and told her to relax and look the other way. She felt a prick but not much after that. She relaxed and let the doctor do his thing, but she couldn't help the relieved sigh when he said he was finished.

She waited for him to gauze her arm before she hopped of the table and said her thanks to him as he walked out of the room. She gathered her shit and went to the reception desk to make her next appointment two weeks from now, at which she would finally get to see her baby.

She walked out happy that she would finally get to see her little man.

Bella grumbled as she dug through her bag for her cell phone that was insistently ringing. Her heart jumped in her throat as she read the caller I.D.

She answered timidly, "Hello?"

"Bella Swan, yes this is Doctor Llamb's office calling. We were wondering if you could come in tomorrow for an Amniocentesis test."

Bella's heart was in her throat as she answered, "Yes … is there something wrong with my baby?" Her voice caught on a sob as she waited for the answer.

"We cannot say at this point ma'm which is why we would like you to come tomorrow"

Bella said that was fine and shut her phone without saying goodbye. She clutched her stomach as she rocked back and forth. There couldn't be anything wrong with her baby. There just couldn't be.

That night she didn't sleep.

Bella was sitting in her car outside the hospital long before she was due inside. She waited anxiously for the clock to hit nine, and when it did she ran inside to the front desk and managed to choke out that she was here for an appointment.

A half hour later she was jiggling her leg as she waited for the doctor to come back into the room and give her the results. She was paying some big bucks to get the testing done now, and prayed that Charlie wasn't keeping tabs on her bank account.

She jumped up as she heard the knob turn and just looked at him with impatience.

"We are having a specialist come in to look at your test Miss Swan," Dr. Llamb said with sympathy.

Bella was floored, "If there is something wrong with my baby I want to know right the hell now!"

She was shaking with the effort to stay calm and not punch the nice doctor in his know-it-all head.

He sighed and motioned for her to sit down before he said, "It's not like anything we have seen before Miss Swan. Your baby has two extra sets of chromosomes and that has never been recorded anywhere in medical history. We are having a specialist come on just to see if he has any light to shine on the matter. The fact that your baby has two extra pairs could be a very good thing or a very bad thing. We aren't sure as of right now."

Bella was shocked. All she could do was nod and follow the doctor to the reception desk to schedule her next appointment, this time with a specialist.

Bella made her way home on auto pilot and dint break down until she was safely in her room. She cried until the sun went down, then she just laid there thinking. She was going to love this baby fiercely. No matter what was wrong, or how long she had him; she was going to show him nothing but love. As she rolled over to make her way to the shower, she saw the legend book sitting on her nightstand.

She was filled with shock, and then stupidity. She couldn't believe that she thought, if only for a second, that the legends were true. But then she let her mind wander, what if this was the key to saving her child? Was she willing to risk letting the answers slipping from her grasp because she was to close minded to believe.

No. No she wasn't. With that she made her way into the kitchen and picked up the phone to dial the number she knew all too well.

She wasn't surprised to hear Uncle Billy's voice on the other end. "Hello?"

"Uncle Billy, let me talk to Jacob."

"I'm sorry Bella, he's out righ-"

"I don't give a flying fuck what he's doing right now, I need to speak with him Uncle. Right. The. Fuck. Now." Bella growled to the phone.

Billy was shocked silent as he wheeled his way to Jacob's room not really expecting to find him in there. He sighed as he responded to Bella, "He really isn't in Bella but I can give you the number where you can reach him.

Bella sighed knowing that it was better than nothing and asked for it. Hanging up the phone she immediately dialed the number her uncle had given her.

"Hello?" said a shy female voice.

"Yes, I don't give a fuck who you are but I was told that I could reach Jacob Black on this line. So he better fucking be there or I will raise hell," by the end of her rant Bella was out of breath and felt sorry that this innocent woman had to deal with her emotions right now.

"Uh, yes. Give me a moment to put him on please."

Bella huffed and said that was fine before she went back to jiggling her leg, waiting for her cousin to get on the line.

"Yeah, it's Jacob." He sounded slightly out of breath.

"Are the legends true Jakey?"

"B- Bella?" his voice quavered but at the moment she didn't care. All she cared about was protecting her baby.

"Yes, now answer the damn question."

"You haven't spoken to any of us in months and that's all you say to me? By what right should I tell you anything?" Jacob huffed as he waited for his cousin to answer. He was surprised when all he got in return was a sob.

"Can anyone hear us Jake?" Bella asked through her tears.

Hearing this Sam and Quil shuffled outside taking Emily with them so that they wouldn't be over heard.

"No Bells, you're in the clear. Now what the hell is this about?"

"I just really need to know Jakey. It's seriously important."

"Okay but why?" Jake was getting fed up with her not answering his questions.

"Jacob Black can you please just answer the fucking question and for once in your life not be so goddamn nosey?"

"No bells, I honestly don't think I can."

"You can't or won't?"

"Can't Bells, believe me, if I could I would have a long time ago."

"Well who can give me answers?" Bella was getting pissed at the fact that this conversation was running in circles.

"I'll get him."

Bella heard him cover the phone and yell for someone. Then there was a different male voice on the line.

"What do you want?"

"All I want to know is if the legends are true?"

"And why would a pale face such as yourself be needing with that information?" Sam asked smirking thinking that would end her questions. He had no idea the seriousness of what she was going to say.

"Because my unborn child depends on the fact that those legends are true. Because if they aren't; my little man is going to have some problems cooking. And because most of fucking all I am alone in this whole fucking thing and I would like a few goddamn reassurances that my baby is going to be okay," her voice broke on a sob as Sam sat there shocked.

"Yes Bella. The legends are true."

All Sam heard was her "Well fuck" before the line went dead.
