This is my life

chapter 22

-2 and a half weeks after chapter 21-

BPOV:

I sat at lunch next to Jared at our usual table off in the left corner of the lunch hall. I was thinking, leaning against Jared, remembering my first and most certainly not last sexual moment. The first time Jared and I had sex it was the start of a very long week and weekend after that.

"Bella...Bella! You in there?"

I blinked and looked at Jared.

"What you need?" I asked.

"Brady has a porch swing he can give us to replace the one that broke. Do you want it or no?" Jared asked. I thought for a moment and nodded yes.

"Yea sure. We could use it. I miss our porch swing" i said.

"Okay when do you want me to bring it over?" Brady asked.

"Just bring it this weekend" i said. He smiled and went back to his conversation with Seth and Quil. I leaned back into Jared again and went back into my thoughts. i thought about how the porch swing broke. It was during the weekend, after Jared and I turned into Emmett and Rosalie the sex addicts. We had sex on almost every piece of furniture; from the guest bedroom, to the coffee table in the living room, to the kitchen table, to the basement floor. Then we decided to have sex on the porch swing...it kind of broke after about the third time on the swing. So we moved to the game room pool table. I had to disinfect it because Seth came over to hang out and play in the game room with Jared.

The only thing was that I'm about a week late from my period. I should have had it a week ago. I decided I would wait a bit to see if something was wrong.

"Hey Bella, we have to go to class right now. Let's go. We have another test today" Seth said, leading me to our AP calculus class. I sat down next to Seth and did my test. I completed it in about forty minutes and just sat down thinking about asking Emily and Kim to help me.

I grabbed my phone from my jacket pocket and texted Emily 'I want to talk to you after school. Meet me at our house please'

She texted back: 'sure. Meet you there.'

I waited until class was over to go to my next class, which was science. Jared was in this class and sat next to me.

"Hey Bella, I missed you"

"We just saw each other about an hour ago you dork. But I missed you too" I said. He grinned and turned towards the front.

-After school-

I dropped Jared off at Jake's house and told him that I was going to Emily's house to hang out with her. I drove to her house and parked. She opened her door and met me at the car.

"Hey Bella, let's go inside into the living room. Sam is away on a run right now so we have to house to ourselves" Emily said. I smiled and walked inside.

"So Bella, tell me what's wrong? Is it Jared?" she asked. I shook my head no.

"It's not Jared...well it has to do with Jared but it's not really his fault...okay that's a lie. Let me just explain. So two weeks ago Jared and I had sex for the first time. We did it nonstop for the whole weekend. We even broke our porch swing and Brady's giving us his. But then I thought about it today and I remembered that I was supposed to start

My period a week ago. I don't know if I am pregnant or not. What do you think?" I asked.

"Well... I personally think that you might be pregnant, but I am not for sure sure. Maybe you should wait a week or a few more days and if you don't have your period yet then maybe we should go to the store and get a home test" Emily said, thinking a bit.

"Okay...I'm just nervous. But at least school is almost out for thanksgiving break soon. i need that" i said. She nodded and sighed.

"Well...are you getting sick?" Emily asked. i thought back...yea i was actually. a few times i threw up but after that I was nauseous.

"Yea actually. I threw up a few times then felt nauseous. I don't know if i really am or not...maybe we really should go get a take home test Emily" i said, slightly panicking.

"Okay sure. Let's go to the store and get one. Come on" Emily said, pulling me up. We drove to the nearby Vons and pulled into the parking lot and into the store. We wandered over to where the pregnancy tests were. We grabbed about seven tests and paid for them. I took up back to her house and we ran to the bathroom. I peed on all seven tests and sat on the toilet waiting for the results. Emily sat on the floor and Kim, who we called on the way home to meet us at Emily's house sat next to her.

"Okay Bella, they are ready...here we go" Kim said. I smiled a small smile and she took a look at all seven tests.

"Well...the first one says..."

(I was about to stop here but decided not to do that)

"Well…the first one says that you are pregnant. So does the second, third, fourth…all of them say you are pregnant…so you are pregnant I guess" Kim said. I felt my heart drop down to my stomach.

I. Was. Pregnant.

"Well, we can't be sure. We should go to the doctors and see if you truly are pregnant. Not all the tests are a hundred percent true" Emily reasoned. I nodded and went to call Carlisle.

"Carlisle…I need your help right now…I think I am pregnant"

"Oh meet me at Forks Hospital then. I'll check you out there" Carlisle said. I nodded and had Emily and Kim take me. We got to the Forks hospital and we headed to Carlisle's office. He led us into his office and sat me down.

"So you think you are pregnant?" he asked.

"Yea, I'm a week late for my period, I was getting sick and I am nauseous. I want to know if I am really pregnant or not" I said to him. He nodded and brought me to an examination room, where I peed in a cup and he went to check it.

I sat with Emily and Kim on both my sides holding my hands. I secretly wished that I was pregnant with his child, but I knew how much stress this would put on me getting through high school. I sat up when Carlisle came back in with the results.

"Well Bella, you are pregnant. Congratulations!" Carlisle said. I gasped and smiled. Emily and Kim hugged me. I thanked Carlisle, gave him a hug and headed out to my car. Kim drove us home. I dropped Kim and Emily off and went to get Jared from Jake's house. I couldn't wait to tell him. I just hope he didn't mind that I got pregnant this early.

"Hey Bells, I'll get Jared" Billy rolled off and called Jared's name and I heard running. I rolled my eyes and waited. He pounced on me when he rushed to the door. I laughed and lead him to the car. He drove and parked in the long driveway.

As he got out of the car he said "hey Bells, where did you and Emily go?"

"Well, that's what I was going to tell you…lets go inside" I replied, leading him inside to the living room. He followed me and sat down on the sofa and I sat next to him.

"What's wrong babe? You okay?" He asked. I nodded my head a bit and took his hand.

"Jared I went to Carlisle Cullen's office at the hospital…I was supposed to start my period last week…" I trailed off. Jared sat looking at me for a few seconds before realization dawned on him.

"Yo…you're pre…pregnant?" he stuttered. I nodded slowly. His face was one of shock then turned into a grin.

"YOU'RE PREGNANT!" He yelled, grabbing me and tackling me into a huge hug. I laughed and held onto him.

"You're not mad that I am pregnant?" I asked.

"No! Are you kidding me?! I love the fact that you are carrying my baby! I'm going to be a daddy! Yes!" He yelled. He grabbed me and pulled down onto of him on the sofa.

"I love you Bella. So much, you have no idea" he said "when do you want to tell everyone?"

"I think that we should invite them over and tell them at dinner or something. Emily and Kim can come over and help cook food and then we can tell them there. Emily and Kim already know so they don't mind coming over" I said. He nodded and called everyone and invited them over for dinner tonight.

I called Kim and Emily and invited them to help me cook for 10 to 12 hungry wolves.

-Later that night at Bella's house-

Kim and Emily had come over about an hour ago and we were making ribs with mashed potatoes. We had about 25 ribs on three plates already and Jared was still BBQ-ing more as we speak. We three girls had about 4 bowls full of mashed potatoes. Our arms were so sore after mashing all those potatoes that we didn't even want to lift the bowls to bring them to the table.

"Okay so everyone else will be over in about 10 minutes girls. I'm still grilling but they should be done by the time the others get here" Jared yelled from outside. I sighed and sat down. I was exhausted.

"Let's go set the table Kim. Bella needs to rest" I smiled apologetically at Kim and she just smiled at me and picked up the food to move them to the table.

"OH HONEY I'M HOME!"

I rolled my eyes. Of course it's Quil.

"We are in the kitchen Quil. Get your medium sized butt over here and help Jared with the steaks without eating them this time please" I shouted to Quil, standing up and setting the table with the food. Jared and Quil walked into the kitchen and set the slabs of steaks on the countertop.

"Everyone should be coming soon. Seth and his family should be coming here soon. Embry and Paul were on their way in when I got here. They must have got stopped by someone outside".

Just as he said that the door opened and Sam, Embry and Paul walked in. They waved and Sam walked over to Emily and kissed her. Paul did the same to Kim.

"Seth and his family just came up the driveway. Jacob and Billy were right behind them" Sam informed me. I nodded happily and ran to the door. Jacob was walked up the steps with Seth next to him chatting excitedly. I ran out the door and into Jacob's arms and he held me hugging me tightly. I knew he missed me because he held me to him and whispered "I missed you cousin".

"I missed you too cousin. I miss not see your whiny face everyday!" I exclaimed.

He scowled at me and I just laughed. I hugged Billy and he patted my back. Seth ran behind me and picked me up, cracking my back and hurting my ribs.

"Nice to see you too Seth. Now let me down so we can go eat steaks" I said to him, elbowing him into letting me go. He rushed into the house and yelled "FOOD!"

We sat down at the table, with Billy in the head of the table and began eating. Easy conversation began from there, talking about recent happenings in the tribe to just daily talk about school and work.

"Well, I think we need to thank the girls and Jared for making the delicious food. But I know that there is some important stuff we need to talk about from what Jared told me about. What is it that you two wanted to tell us?"

Jared stood up and looked at everyone "well…Bella and I have some news for you all…I hope I am actually alive at the end of this conversation but…Bella and I are going to have a baby…Bella's pregnant".

I saw all the male eyes grow wide with shock and surprise and then Seth shouted "YAY! I'M GOING TO BE AN UNCLE! OR A COUSIN! EITHER WAY I'M GOING TO HAVE SOMETHING!"

"Wow…that's a big step for you two. What are you going to do about school and money?" Billy asked "We will support you two financially as much as we can obviously but still…?"

"Well, I have money in my account from my mom and dad when they died. It is a decent amount of money that can be used to help pay for furniture or food and clothing," Jared said.

"I have money in my account as well that my mom secretly put in my bank account before I was born. And Charlie has to pay for child support for a couple of months as punishment from the court. I have the money; I just have to take it out of the bank account" I explained.

"Okay, well now we have another life to take care of. Hopefully the child will not have to transform but we don't know yet" Billy said.

"Yea, I know that the chance of the child transforming is high but still, I would not wish this on my little one" Jared said, taking my hand and kissing it. I smiled at him and just rested my head on his shoulder for comfort and support.

"Well, let us all celebrate the conception of this child and start eating" Sam said. We all began to chow down and eat our dinner that I had made. I looked around the table and saw a family that loved and accepted me for who I am. I felt loved her, appreciated by these people. And now I am going to have my love's child. Nothing could be better than this.

EPOV:

I sat down on my bed in my room, sulking. I was still crushed that Bella and I were no longer together. It hurt even more that she had found someone to love, the stupid mutt. She seemed happy…that's what got to me.

"Edward! Stop it okay! I'm so sick of your attitude! So she dumped you for a mutt! Who cares? Just lighten up because she is not the only girl in the entire universe. There are other people out there that might be better for you. You just never know!" Rose shouted at me from my door.

"She was the only girl for me Rose, I can never move on without her. I should just go to the Volturi and have them kill me…I have no reason to live" I mumbled.

"Don't you dare do that Edward! If Bella was the one for you I don't think that she would have gotten imprinted on by Jared. It doesn't work like that" Rosalie said. I nodded at her reasoning but that did not make the pain any less.

"Maybe you're right Rose" I said quietly, though I knew she could hear me.

"Hey Edward, we are going to play baseball in a little bit…are you game?" Emmett asked from the doorway. I smiled a small smile and got up to get my gear.

"Yea sure, I might as well" I said. He nodded and went to get changed. I put on my baseball shorts and shirt and got my cap from my dresser and joined my family downstairs. Jasper smiled at me and nodded at me.

Thanks Edward, Alice was starting to get depressed. It's nice that you've decided to hang out with us.

I nodded to Jasper and smiled slightly at my family. We ran to the field and got into positions. Alice was the pitcher, while Jasper was up to bat. She had the ball in her hand and suddenly it dropped from her hand. I looked at her and saw that she was in a vision. I looked into her mind and saw that she was having a vision. It was of a red headed vampire coming into the field and talking. I didn't know what was going to happen next because the vision cut out.

"There's a vampire coming…a red head. She should be here soon. She smells us and is on her way" Alice said. I backed up to stand next to Carlisle and Esme. Jasper went over to Alice and Rosalie stood next to Emmett.

"She's here" Alice stated, looking over to the trees where the vampire stalked out of the woods into the field. She headed straight for us and stopped about 3 feet in front of us. Carlisle walked about a few inches forward and stood in front of us.

"Greetings nomad, are you a human or animal drinker?"

The redhead turned to us "human drinker. I have no taste for animals".

"We ask that during your stay in the area that you refrain from taking human lives for food. We maintain a private residence and would like for you to respect our rules" Carlisle said.

I don't want her hurting Bella. What if Bella comes to Forks and gets attacked. I could never live with myself if that happened to her.

"I don't have to listen to you animal drinkers! I can do whatever the hell I want and get away with it! I could kill hundreds of people and the Volutri would be none the wiser! So don't tell me what I can and cannot do or I will do it!" She yelled to us.

She raced off into the woods and we stared at each other in fright.

"Carlisle, what do we do now! What do you think will happen now that we have an insane vampire on the loose!" Esme panicked.

"Don't worry Esme, we have the wolves and ourselves if things get to wild. Edward, I want you to call Bella and tell her that there is a vampire on the loose and that we need to set up a meeting with the wolves" Carlisle commanded. I nodded and reached for my cell phone and called Bella.

Phone call (B= Bella and E= Edward):

B: Hello?

E: Bella? It's Edward.

B: (pause) hey Edward…what's up?

E: Bella, you and your pack need to come over for a meeting…it's important.

B: um..sure…hold on a moment…alright we will be there. What time should we head over?"

E: anytime, as soon as possible.

B: Alright well Billy is calling the pack right now so we will be there tonight.

E: okay, we will be waiting.

B: okay…bye.

E: bye.

Phone call over

I turned towards my family "they will be there Carlisle. All we have to do is wait. They are coming later on tonight". They nodded and we went home. Esme went to the kitchen and began making food. The rest of us sat down in the living room and began waiting.

BPOV:

I sat with Jared after the phone call from Edward and the Cullens, telling us to meet them at their house about something important.

"Are you sure we have to go babe?" Jared asked, pouting.

"Yes Jared, we do. It might be something important and it might have to do with all of us. We have to be there" I said. In truth I didn't want to go. I wanted to stay right here with Jared and not have to worry about what the Cullens will say about me being pregnant.

"Fine, as long as the leech knows that you are mine then things will be okay. Does he know that we are expecting a child?" Jared asked. I shook my head.

"I won't tell him about the baby unless it comes up or is important to what I happening. I won't go there and tell him that we are having a baby. I don't want him to get mad them attack you and bring the house down" I said, smirking at him.

"I won't tempt him then. I'll just leave him alone. If the topic comes up then it comes up" he said. I chuckled. Jared is so overprotected…well…hardly compared to Edward.

"So how's your stomach? No morning sickness yet?" Jared asked. I shook my head.

"None so far. All I feel is nauseous. Nothing more nothing yes right now. It's not nauseous where I am close to barfing; it's more like I feel queasy" I said. He smiled and nodded. He turned my body towards his more. I leaned my head down onto his shoulder and relaxed for a few minutes.

"Okay guys, the pack is here. We can start heading on over" Billy said, wheeling himself into the room. Jared helped me up and took my hand. He brought me outside towards Jake's truck and helped me inside. Sam helped Billy up and got into the backseat with us. Jake drove us off the reservation and took us to the mansion. The others were right behind us in Quil's van.

Once we got out of the car, Jared's arm snaked its way around my waist and brought me close to his body. He was getting anxious I noticed.

"Don't worry Jared, Edward has nothing on you. Nothing but death could ever take me away from you" I whispered into his ear. He grinned at me and kissed my forehead.

"I love you so much Bella" he said against my forehead.

I giggled and faced the front. Alice was standing at the doorway and when she saw that I saw her she ran towards me and pounced into my arms….or attempted to since Jared stepped in front of her.

"Move mutt" she snapped at Jared. That only just made him tense up and position our bodies so that he was blocking me. Jake and Quil stepped to both sides of me. The rest of the pack besides Sam crouched down a bit.

"I said move! NOW!" Alice commanded. I moved away from them and stepped up towards her.

"Don't talk like that to them Alice. Back off now" I snapped back at her.

She looked at me like I had three heads and burst out laughing "oh you're so funny Bella! Good one! Now come here and give me a hug!"

I stood my ground "no Alice. I won't. You can't be rude to my boyfriend and expect me to be all happy and fall into your arms. I don't work like that" I retorted.

"He changed you Bella! You used to be so nice! Now you're so mean and angry!" Alice exclaimed angrily "You stupid mutt! Look at what you did to her! You took her away from us! She was supposed to be happy with Bella and now thanks to you and you're stupid imprinting shit she now left him for you!"

"I did nothing of the sort leech! I didn't ask to imprint on her but I'm glad I did. I would not trade it for anything in the world! Nothing!" Jared growled. I grinned at him which caused him to grin back at me.

"Alice…let it go. Now. Come on inside, please. We have food set up for you to eat if you wish" Carlisle said, leading us inside the house.

Sam set Billy next to the long couch, took his seat and we all followed. I sat next to him and Jared sat next to me, with Jake and Quil on his other side. Paul, Embry, Seth and Leah took seats on the floor. Leah sat in front of me and I took bits of her hair and started braiding it. Esme brought all of us food and we dug into the stuffed ravioli she gave us.

"So, what did you call us here for?" Sam said, getting right down to business.

"There's a new threat to Washington…there's a new vampire on the loose right now. Her name is Victoria" Jasper explained. It got deathly quiet. Jared suddenly leaned in close to me.

"How did this happen?" Billy asked.

"We were playing baseball in the fields when this vampire came up to us and we explained to her that she can't hunt in this area and she flipped out and ran off" Emmett said, smirking.

"Do you know where she is heading now?" Jake asked.

"No we don't. That's why we called this meeting. We wanted to work together so that we could catch her sooner. We don't want her attacking innocent people" Carlisle started "…will you help us with this? We will stay here and watch over the people of Forks and you can watch over the people of La Push".

Billy nodded "we will watch over there. Now that we have a pregnancy in the pack, we have to take extra care that nothing gets past us".

"Who is pregnant? Leah?" Alice asked.

"No it's not Leah" Embry said. Leah snorted.

"Well…who is it? It's obviously not Bella so…" Alice drifted off, expecting one of us to agree with her statement. No one said anything.

"Please tell me that it's not you Bella" Alice pleaded.

"I'm sorry Alice but it is me. Jared and I are going to be parents" I said.

She stared at me, then at Jared and shot towards Jared.

"YOU STUPID MUTT! YOU GOT HER PREGNANT! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO HER!" She yelled, trying to grab his throat.

"MARY ALICE BRANDON! ENOUGH OF THIS!" Esme yelled.

"You knew Carlisle! You knew and you didn't tell me!" Alice accused.

"Alice, I couldn't have told you because one: it's Bella's privacy and she has the choice of who gets to know what about her pregnancy. And two: I cannot tell you because of patient doctor confidentiality. That remains supreme over anything" Carlisle explained.

"Screw patient doctor confidentiality!! I should have known! You should have told me!" Alice yelled. That got me pissed off.

"SHUT UP ALICE! I didn't want you to know so I didn't tell Carlisle to tell anyone! It is none of your business what goes on in my life! I am not with Edward anymore! I don't have a responsibility to tell you shit anymore!" I yelled.

"Yea you do! We took you in! We gave you a place to stay!" Alice yelled.

"Yes I know you did! I am very thankful to you for doing that! But that doesn't give you supreme rule on how I live my life! So shut up!" I screamed to her. Jared stood up and wrapped me into a hug. I instantly calmed in his arms.

"I'm happy for you Bella"

I whirled to the voice. It was Rosalie.

"Thanks Rosalie. It means a lot to me for you to say that" I replied. She smiled and nodded her head. Emmett grinned at her and slid his arms around her waist.

"So what are we going to do?" asked Seth.

Billy sighed "we will have to take patrols to defend La Push. There will be two wolves per day on patrol. Two different shifts a day. Jared will take the weekend shifts with Jake because I want him with Bella during the week to help her. Emily, Leah and Kim and watch over her during the weekends".

"Lori can come too" Jake said "She doesn't mind helping out every once in a while. I told her about you getting pregnant and she's excited for you Bella".

I laughed and nodded. I loved Lori. She's cool and so nice to Jake.

"Alright so now that we have patrols we will leave and head back. Bella looks tired so she needs to rest. Let's get going everyone!" Billy shouted. We got up and headed to the car. Jared picked me up and put me in the car. I relaxed and leaned back. The rest of the guys stood outside for a while, talking to each other about the assigned patrols and about what days would be good for each person. Through all the discussions, I felt as if I was being watched by someone or something…I shrugged and thought oh well.

VPOV (Victoria):

I stood in the woods, the trees and flowers watching the mutts gathering around the human female in the car. Her blood smelled so good! I wanted to taste it so badly. What made me what her more was mainly that the men-the copper headed leech and the mutt- wanted to protect mainly her. I wanted them to suffer.

"Victoria, what do you want to do about the leeches?"

"I want them dead. In order for me to get the girl I need to have the wolves AND the leeches gone from the picture. The only way to do that is to get rid of them and take her. I can use her as bait for the Volturi…or I can eat her…I like the eating her idea" I snarled.

Riley licked his lips "I think we all like that idea Victoria. Shall I start acquiring the troops?"

"Yes, we must start the invasion soon. The wolf and his lover are going on a little trip. We can do most of the acquiring then. Less of a distraction" I planned.

"I live to serve Victoria. I will start acquiring. Where should I begin?"

"Start in Seattle. There are lots of people there. We can get most of the troops there. Get young people, teens and young adults if you can. They are better for transformation and tastier" I said to him, dismissing him. He ran off in search of fresh meat. I stayed where I was and continued watching the wolves. They will meet their match…all in good time.

I disappeared into the shadows.
