Bound Ch. 7: Reason

The young native sat on a log just outside the beach of La Push, watching the tides make their way towards the beach then slip back into the ocean. He couldn't help but to think of how quickly life had changed for him. It had been five months since finding out he had imprinted on a vampire, his mortal enemy, and now he was carrying a child… his child, their child. The separation from his imprint hurt, but knowing that he had a part of his imprint inside of him helped eased the pain.

Jacob placed a hand on his stomach just as he felt his baby kick. He knew that being a werewolf meant that his life would never be normal, yet he was still shocked to find that he had someone growing inside of him. The waves played a soothing soundtrack as he remembered his life since finding out about his pregnancy.

The Cullens and the pack had grown closer in the short five months since finding everything out, both being very supportive and excited about the upcoming arrival of his baby. Well all expect Rosalie, who was a bit reluctant and begrudging of the new addition, but then became one of the ones that would relentlessly protect Jacob from any kind of harm.

He laughed lightly as he thought about how close he and Paul had grown in this short time. Paul always seemed to be there for him when he needed someone and went to every doctor appointments with Carlisle.

"Seeing as the baby is half vampire, the growth will not be like a human fetus'. Instead of the regular, nine month gestation, the baby might be born when you're in six months along," The head of the Cullen coven said as the teen looked on.

"So how about when the time comes for the baby to be born, how is he or she going to come out?"

"You remember when we first found out about your pregnancy," Carlisle said as he gave the young teen a meaningful look. "I said that I could only guess it'd be natural birth," the doctor watched as confusion bloomed across the shifter's features.

He gave a soft sigh before he gave Jacob a reassuring smile "Like I said it was only guess," Carlisle reminded him softly. "Obviously we can do a c-section if you so choose, but we would have to set a date for it to happen. Though, I believe it would be unnecessary."

Jacob's confusion grew as Carlisle continue." I believe, from the past checkups ,that you'll have a small opening much like female wolves that'll enable you to have a natural birth," he laid a hand on the teens shoulder when his eyes grew in panic. "I don't mean to scare you, I'm merely stating this in case you should go into labor before the date of you c-section."

The doctor paused for only a moment, chewing on his lower lip before continuing. "A c-section is a very complicated process…" Carlisle started out as he looked down at the shifter. "I'll need help and I'd like to bring in two other doctors if it's alright with you."

"Carlisle, I can't, what if…"

"I understand, Jacob, but you must understand I cannot do it on my own."

"Umm…can't one of the others help you?" Jacob asked. The idea of someone else finding out about him and his situation, scared him to the core.

"While the others have control, I don't feel they have enough to help me. "

"Can Emily help?" Jacob interrupted the older male.

"Jacob, I know you want to keep things low key, and believe me if I could do it on my own I would but it's a risky procedure. You know that my family and I will do anything to see this child and you get out of it safely."

"Carlisle, I do understand, but…can at least Emily help with the nurse or my sister?"

Carlisle looked into Jacob's eyes and saw the pleading look in them. The vampire couldn't help but to agree to the pregnant shifter's needs.

Hearing padded feet slowly make their way to him, Jacob look towards his right, and saw the silver and white fur of Paul's wolf form. "Wow, I'm gone for like an hour, and you're already panicking," Jacob chuckled as the wolf made his way to him and nudged his shoulder. "What do you want, Paul?" he asked as Paul continued to nudge his shoulder and then proceeded to paw at the ground before heading over towards a clearing, Jacob couldn't help but roll his eyes, at his pack mate's canine antics. The younger shifter sat and looked on as Paul went behind a bush, shifted back into his human form and put on his shorts on.

"Sheesh, Jacob, can't I just be happy to see you," he said replying to the question Jacob had asked earlier.

Jacob chuckled. "Oh, really that excited are we huh? Should I be worried?" he smirked.

"Shut up." Paul replied sitting next to Jacob. "Anyways, why'd I come looking for you? Oh yea, the small vamp wanted to take you baby shopping or something."

"And you volunteered?"

"Well, you see, she can be scary and intimidating when she wants something," Paul said looking somewhat scared.

Jacob couldn't help but laugh at the look on his face. Suddenly, he felt the baby kick him really hard causing him to jump.

"Hey, you okay?"

"Yea, the baby just kicked me," Jacob said rubbing his stomach to sooth the pain.

"Hey I want to feel!" Paul exclaimed, reaching for Jacob's stomach when said person smacked his hand way. "Ouch that hurt!"

"You're just trying to cop a feel," Jacob said teasingly.

"Ha as if. Come on lets go before the little pixie comes looking for us."

"Watch it mutt! I wouldn't recommend you trying to move on my brother's territory." Emmett's voice rang out from behind them, causing both shifters to jump in surprise..

"Well now leech, since…" Paul started as he put his arm around Jacob's shoulder. "Your brother decided to skip town, someone has to step up." He said smiling sheepishly as Jacob nudged him and the other vampire glared at him.

"Watch it." Emmett warned placing his hands on his hips.

"Or what?" Paul said moving to stand in front of the vampire.

Jacob stood as the pain in his stomach intensified. "Guys!" he said breathlessly, trying to get the others attention, but both males were into their argument. "Oh shit," he yelled as he felt a hard kick and doubled over in pain. "Guys!" Jacob yelled loudly in pain, finally grabbing the attention of the vampire and shifter.

Both turned and looked at the teen, who has holding his stomach in pain and breathing heavily.

"Shit, Jacob are you okay?" Paul said going over and helped Jacob stand upright.

"I don't know. I…,"Jacob winced in pain again. "I think the baby is coming."

Emmett and Paul looked at each other and tried not to panic.

"What Jacob are you sure? You're not due until next month" Emmett said as he stood was next to the pregnant shifter.

"No! You idiot I'm breathing heavily and in pain because I want..." Jacob was stopped short as he yelled again. "Guys are you going to stand there and look at each other or are you going to help me, because last time I checked neither of you know how to deliver a baby," the shifter gritted through his teeth as he tried to breathe.

Paul shifted and was off towards the Cullen household, letting everyone know Jacob's condition as Emmett picked up Jacob bridal style and carried him there.

Minutes later Jacob groaned in pain as he was laid down on a make shift hospital.

"Oh shit," he yelled in pain again. "Carlisle, I can't be having the baby right now, I can't." He said as he felt someone cut his jeans off.

"Jacob, I know you wanted a c-section but I don't think it'll be possible. The baby's ready to come out now!" Carlisle said as he checked Jacob and found the opening that he suspected he had.

Jacob eyes grew in panic. He couldn't do this. What if he lost the baby; he couldn't live with himself if he lost the only thing that had kept him alive since Edward left him.

"Jacob you'll do great." Carlisle tried to reassure the teen.

The young native wanted to protest but yelled once again in pain. "Where's Paul?" He yelled.

"He went to go get our father along with Seth and Sam," Rosalie said coming into the room.

"He better hurry his ass up, I am not going to have this baby without him."

"Jacob you're fully dilated. I don't think you can last that much longer."

"Carlisle, I'm not going to do whatever you tell me until Paul gets here," Jacob pleaded while breathing in and out. He groaned as he felt the immense pain continue.

"Jacob!" He heard the sound of his father's worried voice through the house.

"Good, you're here, get in there." Alice said as she pushed Paul into the room. "He didn't want to deliver until you got here." She added as Paul looked at her.

Without hesitation, Paul made his way over to Jacob as he groaned in pain. "Okay, Jay, I'm here." he said taking Jacob's hand.

Carlisle looked in between both natives before he looked at Jacob. "Are you ready?" he asked looking back under Jacob. "Okay on three I want to you to push. Ready, 1 …2…3.."

Jacob pushed as tears welled in his eyes at the pain. "I can't…I can't do this. It hurts." He whined.

"Come on Jacob, yes you can Jay. Do it for the baby." Paul said as he ran his free hand through the pregnant shifter's hair as he nodded.

"Okay, try it again, Jacob. 1…2…3"

Jacob pushed as he yelled in pain, squeezing Paul's hand really hard, causing him to wince at the pain. "Oh fuck! Leah, I will never again say that men rule the world." He yelled as he heard the others chuckle.

"You're doing great, Jacob. I can see the head. Just a few more pushes." Carlisle's voice rang over Jacob's screams.

"I can't…" Jacob wailed.

"Yes, you can. Do you want this baby, Jacob?" Paul asked as the male laying on the bed nodded. "Show this baby how much you love him or her."

The young native swallowed as he heard Carlisle count to three again and Jacob pushed with everything he had.

"Ow..ow..ow." Paul stammered as he was brought to his knees because of Jacob's death grip hold on his hand.

Soon the sound of crying filtered through the room as Jacob heaved a sigh of relief lying down completely.

"You did great, Jay." Paul said as he looked from Jacob to the crying baby.

"Congratulations, Jacob. You have a beautiful baby girl." Carlisle said as he walked over and handed Jacob his child.

Soon sounds of footsteps were heard and the room was filled with the coven of vampires and the pack.

"Wow." Came the response of everyone in the room.

"Not bad, Jacob, you and Cullen don't make such a bad looking baby." Paul said looking down at the newest addition to the pack as everyone laughed at his comment and Jacob glared at him. Paul held up his hands in an innocent gesture. "I'm just saying."

"So what are you going to name her?" Embry asked excitedly.

"Everyone meet Yoali Elizabeth." Jacob said as he looked down at his baby girl, his beautiful baby girl. He knew that life was going to be different now, but staring into the eyes of his daughter he knew that no matter what, he'd do anything for his baby girl; his reason to live.

A/N: First I want to say sorry for taking so long, school has been keeping me busy and all.

At last the baby is born. I know Yoali isn't that Native American but its Aztec for night wind, which is technically still a native name (lol) and I really like the name.

So Jacob only delivered until Paul got there, what could that mean? How close are Paul and Jacob, and how will they relationship effect Edward when he returns?
