A/N: This is only my second fanfic so I hope everyone likes it.
Ch. 12 Nervous
Jacob's POV
"Bella do we really have to do this?"
"Yes, you have to do this for our baby." And she put my hand on her big belly.
"But Bells this is lame."
"Are you saying our family and our life together is lame?"
"No I didn't say that."
"Yes you did just not in so many words."
"Fine, I love you and our new family." We walked into the birthing class with Seth since he was going to be there.
"Seth thank you for coming."
"No thank you for letting me be there when it happens. I get extra credit for seeing it really happen, in college."
"Well that is really cool, and it will be nice to have someone besides my husband there."
"Honey I said I was sorry."
"Whatever." We went in and the teacher started to talk.
"Ok this is a class to prepare you and your partner or partners for the birth of your baby or babies."
"Bells you sure you want to do this?" I whispered into her ear.
"Yes Jacob! If you don't want to do this I will just have Seth do it!"
"Calm down Bells."
"Do Not Tell Me What To Do!"
"Bells calm down."
"I'm not going to talk to you anymore."
"If you two are done with your little talking and not talking I would like to continue my class."
"Sorry."
"Sorry."
"Ok well I want everyone to grab a mat and the pillows they brought and sit on the floor. The head partner sit behind your mommy-to-be and put the pillow between you. Sit with your legs open and then the mommy-to-be needs to sit with their back onto the pillow and onto the partner's chest. Partner 2 sit on the right side on the mommy-to-be and hold her hand and support her."
We did this and Bella was leaning on me and Seth was sitting next to her.
"Ok now Partner 1 wrap your arms around our mommies and rub our babies to make them kick and wake up." I started to rub the baby and kissed her. "Don't suck up to me Jacob Black."
"Ok now mommies and Partners 1 and 2 start to breath together. He He Who He He Who He He Who."
We all did this and Seth and Bella were all into it and I just did it and rolled my eyes. We did this for 5 minutes and then the teacher talked a lot about the birth and how to do it right and if there was an emergency and everything. It was boring as hell but I listened because we would be using it pretty soon.
I was so nervous about the whole thing. I knew Seth would be there and his teacher told him he could call him and he would walk us threw it if something bad happened. That helped me feel a little better but not much. I mean Bella said that she would help me too but once those contractions started she would be in so much pain and would just want it over with.
All that guys wanted to be there but we said no. We didn't want this to be a big deal. Not even Billy and Charlie were going to be there until after the baby was here. I for sure couldn't do it if I had my dad breathing down my neck and Charlie reaching for his gun because I had done this to his little girl.
I just had to breathe. Everything was going to be fine and I could handle it, Seth, Bella and I could handle this.
Lately Seth had been around a lot. At first I thought it was weird but now it is just like he is our own son. He has moved in with us and is in the guest bedroom. He is just as excited about the baby as an older brother would be.
It was nice to have him at the house all the time too. If I was out on patrol Seth was there with Bella. If Seth was out on patrol I was there with Bella. It was good to have another pair of hands around the house. Seth was also a pretty good cook. Since Bella was on bed rest Seth was cooking almost all the meals and they were great.
Seth was a great student too. He was in med school and was to graduate next year. He was so excited about and loved doing it to.
1 month later
Bella was getting really uncomfortable now. Walking, sleeping, sitting, laying, nothing it was all uncomfortable for her. I felt so bad. I tried everything I could to help her but nothing helped.
"Bells why don't you go sit on the big ball?"
"Fine." She went over to the big rolling ball that the doctor said she could sit on because she would have to focus on balancing instead of the pain and discomfort.
"Honey when is this baby going to come out of me!?!"
"I don't know baby. I'm sorry."
"It's fine. It just hurts and my feet hurt and my back hurts and my head hurts."
"I'm sorry." I started to rub her back and she put her head forward and her hands on her knees and took a deep breath.
"Where's Seth?"
"I don't know. Why?"
"He was supposed to be home an hour ago. I told him not to be late."
"Honey you aren't his mother."
"He lives in my house, under my roof, he is my son."
"Ok but I don't know what time he will be home. He will be fine."
"Honey give me the phone I want to call him and make sure he is ok."
"Babe he's fine."
"Give me the phone!"
"Fine here." I handed her the phone and she called him. The phone was loud so when he answered I heard.
"Hey mom." –Seth
"Honey weren't you suppose to be home?" –Bells
"Yeah sorry, I'm at Sam's I will be home in 10 minutes." –Seth
"Ok be careful, love you." –Bells
"Love you too." –Seth
"He will be home in 10."
"Ok, when did he start calling you mom?"
"When he moved in. He is my baby."
"Ok honey just don't forget you have another baby on the way." I reached around her waist and started to rub her belly.
"Ow!"
"What?!"
"Contraction!" I just sat there supporting her. Then I was rubbing the baby again and I felt the contraction. It was like a wave over her belly.
"Just breathe baby! Just breathe!"
"I'm freaking breathing!"
"Ok I was just trying to help."
"I'm sorry." The contraction passed and she kissed me. She turned around to face me. She laid her head on my chest and I rubbed circles on her back.
"How are you feeling?"
"Ok I guess." She took a deep breath and then released it. She wrapped her arms around my neck and kept her head on my chest. "It's ok baby. Deep breath, deep breath."
"It passed"
"Okay. Do you want me to get you anything?"
"Ice"
"Ok I will go get it. Let's get you into the bed first."
"OK"
I helped her get into the bed and comfortable. She was lying on her side hugging the body pillow. She had her eyes closed but she was still in pain. I went and got her ice and came back up and she was still lying there.
"Honey, how are you?"
"Fine. It hurts though."
"I know I'm sorry. It will be over soon and we will be able to hole our baby."
"Yeah I can't wait"
"Me either baby, me either."
"Ow!! Ow! Ow!" she sat up breathing heavy and I held her hand and put a hand behind her back to help her stay up.
"Just breathe it will pass. Deep breath!"
"He He Who! He He Who! He He Who!"
"Ok baby almost over, it's ok almost over."
"Where is Seth!?"
"He should be here in a couple more minutes. It's ok."
"Jacob I need to push! I'm ready to push!"
"Baby it isn't time yet!"
"Jacob it hurts!"
"I know I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
She leaned up and kissed me.
"Baby its ok just get Seth here."
Just then we heard Seth come through the front door.
"SETH!" I was yelling.
He came running up the steps and saw what was going on. By now I was sitting behind Bella and was lying her head back on my chest breathing heavy with her eyes closed and I was holding both of her hands.
"How long has she been in labor?"
"I don't know"
"I started feeling contractions this morning."
"Baby why didn't you tell me" I was so hurt that she didn't tell me.
"I'm sorry I just thought it was false labor."
"Ok well you still should have told me."
"Sorry"
"It's ok baby."
"Ok let me see how dilated you are." Seth went in the bathroom and washed his hands and then put gloves on and came over with some towels. He put the towels under Bella and pulled off her panties.
"Has your water broken yet?"
"No"
"Ok" He checked her. "Ok you are about 7 centimeters dilated. If your water doesn't break soon we will have to break it."
"Ok" We sat there for another hour and Seth called the doctor and everybody and told them. The doctor said just to relax and stay calm and once her water broke to get her in the tub. A little after that Bella's water broke and I started the bath water. I got it nice and hot like she wanted and then helped her get in. I got in with her behind her to support her.
Seth checked her again. "Ok Bells it's time to push."
"Thank god!"
I laughed a little and so did Seth.
"Ok Bells Jake is going to count when you start to push. Don't stop until he gets to 10."
"Ok"
"Ok Bells push."
She started to push and I started to count.
"1….2….3….4….5……6…."
"Count faster!" She was yelling at me."
"7…8...9…10" She let out a huge breath and leaned back on me.
"That was great Bells. Again Push!"
