Bella's POV

I woke in the middle of the night to the sound of crying. I glanced at the clock and saw that it was one in the morning. I sighed and got out of bed. I propped pillows around Marie so she wouldn't roll out of bed and went to the crib. I lifted Noah out and knew immediately he needed a diaper change. I changed him and then picked him back up and went downstairs to make a bottle for him. I turned the kitchen light on and started making the bottle. He started crying loudly and I rocked him.

"Shh, it's okay baby. I'm getting your bottle." I said quietly and started humming while rocking him. He quieted a little and I got the bottle. Once he had the bottle in his mouth he started sucking greedily. I yawned and sat on the couch. I leaned back and waited for him to finish the bottle. When he finally did I Burped him and laid him on my chest. I scooted until I was lying on the couch. I was trying to work up the will to get up and walk up the stairs but finally I succumbed to sleep.

I woke when I felt someone shaking my shoulder. It was now six o'clock in the morning and Charlie was smiling down at me. He took Noah off of my chest.

"Late night feeding?" He asked and I nodded. He laughed. "I remember those."

"I'm going to check on Marie." I said. I went upstairs. Marie was lying on the bed with her thumb in her mouth. She was so cute. I took my phone out and snapped a picture. I picked her up and started wrapping her in a blanket and she blink sleepy eyes at me.

"It's okay sweetie go back to sleep. We're just going down stairs." I said. She laid her head on my shoulder and I walked carefully down the stairs. I laid her on the couch and she went right back to sleep. Noah was in his carrier and I heard dad in the kitchen. I went in and laughed. He was standing there with a pan and a carton of eggs looking clueless. I took them from him.

"Sit down dad. I'll fix breakfast, can't have you burning the house down." I said. He rolled his eyes and sat at the counter.

"I got a call this morning from Mrs. Stanley." He said.

"What about?" I asked.

"She says she's concerned about you having to take care of two kids on your own at your age." He said and I rolled my eyes.

"I'm not on my own. You're here and I have Jake, Emily, and all the guys." I said.

"I know and I told her that. She also told me that the Cullen's are moving." He gave me a look.

"I know. They told me yesterday and Edward and I broke up." I said.

"You're not going to try the long distance thing?" He asked.

"No. You know those relationships never last." I said.

"Good never did like that guy." He said and I nodded.

"I'm aware." I said and sat his food in front of him. I sat down and started eating too.

"Are you still going over to Emily's today?" He asked.

"Yeah, why?" I asked.

"I just wanted to tell you that I already put Marie's safety seat in the car." He said.

"Thanks." I answered.

"Yep." He said and got up to put his dishes in the sink. "Well, I've got to go to work."

He left and I started cleaning up the house. I came to check on the kids every once in a while. I was putting laundry in the washer when I saw Marie toddle in to the room. I smiled down at her.

"Morning Sleepy Head. You hungry?" I asked. I picked her up and walked into the kitchen. I put some cheerios in a bowl but didn't put milk in them. I got her Sippy cup and gave her some juice. She munched on the cereal and I went to get Noah. I changed him again and then started to get him dressed. I put him in a long sleeved onesie that had a paw print on it. The guys would love that. I put some black pants on him and little socks. Then I put on a pair of soft baby shoes. I threw a blanket over him the covered the carrier with another blanket. It may have been July but it was still raining outside. I put Marie in a pair of pants with pink flowers on them then I put a pink long sleeved shirt on her and got her puffy jacket. I zipped up the jacket slipped on her tennis shoes and we were ready to go. I picked up Noah and went outside. I got them both in the car and then locked the front door and we were on our way.

I drove carefully and we got there at eight in the morning. Even though it was early they were all there. I didn't think any of them knew I was there until I saw Jake come out the front door. He smiled and got Noah out of the car. I got Marie and we went inside. Leah and Emily were suddenly beside us.

"Hey." I said and the smiled.

"Can we see him?" Emily asked. I smiled and Jake put his carrier on the table. I took the blanket off and took him out of the seat. I handed him to Emily. She smiled.

"He's so cute." Leah said.

"The paw print is cute." Emily said. I looked down to see Marie hiding behind my legs. I crouched down next to her and lifted her into my arms. She turned toward Jake and held her arms out. He took her.

"Hey cutie." Jake said. She giggled.

"You remember Jake?" I asked and she nodded. I looked at everyone and noticed the look Seth had on his face. He was looking at Marie. I nudged Jacob and nodded toward Seth. Everyone else saw the move to and turned as one to look at him. He barley even noticed having eyes only for Marie.

"Seriously?" Leah exclaimed and Seth snapped out of it.

"What?" He asked.

"You imprinted on her?" She asked him. He glanced back at Marie. The look said it all. Jake growled lightly and I put a hand on his arm. Everyone heard him and that made Jared get a huge grin on his face.

"So you two are engaged huh?" He asked.

"Shut up. We had to have an excuse for Jake being there. It's all we could think of." I said and they laughed.

We all started talking and I let Seth hold Marie for a little while knowing he couldn't help that he imprinted on her that's just the way that it worked. I knew from Quil and Claire that it wasn't like that. I was okay with it because Seth was a good kid. As we talked I looked around and thought this is a great life. This is a great place to raise the kids with laughter and fun with a pack full of boys who were like family. It would be good for them.
