Jake's POV

Sam just called to let me and Leah know Lexi is in labor. Leah heads to the hospital and I take Mia to their house where he left Carter and Del with the neighbor. She wants Braden and Leah in the room with her.

Carter and Mia run up to his room and I think about what Bella said in her letter and I check on them constantly. They are really close but they are only 7 and 8, what could they possibly do?

Del is not my biggest fan so she spends most of her time crying or hiding from me. I have no idea what I did to her. Thank god for bedtime and cribs.

Soon after I put her down and put a movie on for the other two Leah calls and said she had the baby and they are both doing well. She's headed here so I can see them.

I get there and Lexi is passed out, Braden went home to get some stuff nobody thought to bring, and Sam is there holding little Izzy. She's beautiful.

"Hey Jake, how are the kids?" He asks quietly.

"Del is asleep and the other two were watching a movie. Leah will probably have them go to bed soon." I leave out the part about his youngest daughter hating me although he would probably enjoy it.

"Do you want to hold her?"

So I take her and it's all the sudden so real. Lexi has a daughter. Bella's daughter has a daughter. I miss her so much.

Sam must see the sad on my face because he tells me he misses her too.

"Jake, isn't she adorable?" Lexi wakes up and she looks exhausted but happy.

"She is Lexi; she's beautiful just like you. How do you feel?"

"So tired. Where's Braden?" Sam tells her he went to pick home for some stuff and I hand her Izzy.

I don't stay long, I leave when Braden gets back and so does Sam. Braden is a good guy. He'll take of them both. One day she won't need me or Sam at all. But she knows we'll always be there for her and Izzy.

We stay the night at Sam's so whoever's not at the hospital can watch the kids and I'm lying next to Leah and she goes on and on about how cute Izzy is how she wants another one. Hopefully it passes because we decided on one a long time ago.

Lexi's POV

My baby is the most adorable thing I have ever seen or held. I won't tell Del. Braden is holding her right now and it's so perfect. I so wish my mom could have been here but I had Leah and Braden and it wasn't nearly as bad as I had imagined. I had drugs, as many drugs as they would give me. I can't believe I am that beautiful little girl's mother. I can't believe I'm only 18 and I have a daughter. I wonder if my mom would have been disappointed and I start crying. Damn hormones.

"What's wrong baby?" Braden asks me and I tell him.

"She said make your with the right man right? I promise you Lexi I will always be the right man for you. Even if I am only 18 and I just started college and I know nothing about babies. I'll always be there for you and her. Promise."

I know my mom wouldn't want me to be a mom so young but I plan to do the best I can so I can say I have no regrets just like she did.

We take her home a couple of days later and Braden has to go back to school a few days after that. Dad took a week off to help but after that it's just me, Del and Izzy until Carter gets home in the afternoon. Dad offered to hire a nanny to help out since I have Del too but I refuse. This is my family and I can take care of them. Jake usually comes over with Mia and helps out until Dad gets home.

Braden comes home every weekend and stays with me here. Izzy grows so fast and everyday she looks more and more like my mom. Del adores her and I know they are going to grow up to be best friends.

After she is a few months old I finally agree to the nanny because I have to start working. I can't believe how hard it is to leave Izzy and Del. I feel better knowing they have each other though.
