"Hey Bella," Leah said walking into my house.

"Hey," I smiled, looking up from my soup that I was making. Sam was out with the guys running patrols and fooling around for the day. Reading the directions on my family recipe, I suddenly got a little bit dizzy and held the counter to steady myself.

"You okay?" the female wolf asked, getting up from her stool to possibly assist me.

"Yea," I breathed putting a hand to my head. It was weird, almost as if it was a dizzy spell.

"What are you making?" Leah wondered leaning over.

"Soup. I figured it was a good day to cuddle up with a blanket and some warm food with the cold weather coming," I said. Since we had gotten back from our honeymoon and let the months past, it had become a cold January.

"Yea, well I'm sure our two new happy couples are doing some cuddling with themselves too," Leah grumbled.

I choked out a laugh, thinking of both Jared and Kim, and Jake and Sarah. The two couples had both gotten married just a month after we had come back. It was a pretty wedding for the middle of November. Unlike Sam and I, they had both done a small wedding with just the Pack and the adults, which was a lot easier for all of their rushed wedding plans. Sue enjoyed having more weddings to plan and us girls actually enjoyed helping.

Everything was put together much quick than when Sam and I had ours, and they both had ideas in mind of what they wanted. I was pretty sure, going through the process three times with Leah, that she had wanted to be the next girl in the Pack to get married, but she would be running some competition with Embry and Andrea, who were considering marriage very thoroughly.

"Have you talked to Cole anymore about the whole marriage thing?" I wondered to her.

"Ha, yea right," she said watching me.

"Oh come on," I said turning my back towards her as I went to get some celery from the fridge.

"He's the guy, he's supposed to make the move," she justified.

"Alright," I said putting my hands up.

"How are Seth and Lin?" I wondered.

"Love birds- inseparable love birds," she corrected. "Its disgusting."

I let out a wholehearted laugh and then stopped, as I was dizzy again.

"Whoa," I said as my knees buckled and Leah quickly caught me.

"Here, sit down," she said guiding me to the stool she was sitting on. "You okay?" she wondered again.

"Yea, I must of not eaten enough today," I said a bit disheveled.

"What did you have?" she wondered.

"A muffin, like usual," I said with furrowed eyebrows. As I wondered what was going on, a thought crossed my mind. Was I…? No…

"Leah, do you think I'm…" I asked looking up to her. She gave me a confused look and then her eyebrows raised.

"How long has it been since you guys started that whole baby making thing?" she asked.

"A few months," I said. "But I mean, I should be getting morning sickness or something, not fainting."

"Well, we can go buy a test real quick and see," she said looking at me.

Biting my lip, I nodded. Getting up slowly, I shut off the stove and picked up my keys. Leah came over to me with a bottle of water and told me to start drinking. Taking a deep breath, I unscrewed the cap and locked up the house to follow her to my car.

We stopped by a drug store in Forks, not wanting to go to La Push in case I wasn't really pregnant and we got unwanted attention. Taking the box off the shelf, I quickly paid and we sped home wondering if it was really time. Feeling nervous, Leah unlocked the front doors for me and I locked myself into the bathroom.

I peed on the stick, and then set it on top of the box on my counter. I came out and began fidgeting as we waited for the time to be up.

"Well maybe all of your and Sam's hard work is about to pay off," Leah feebly joked.

"My life is about to either change or stay the same in a matter of minutes," I said nervously. "No actually its about to change either way. I'm pretty sure if Sam sees I took a test he will be life altered too," I said pacing the floor. "Plus, that means I have to go check out why I'm feeling faint."

"Alright take a breath," Leah said watching me.

"I could be a parent," I said now freaked out. "I mean like…I could have a child."

"Yes," she said slowly, "you and Sam will be happy as clams."

The kitchen timer rang and I swear my heart stopped. "Well, go look at it," Leah said as she sat on Sam and my bed.

"I can't," I said fearfully.

"Oh don't be a chicken. Go on," she said getting up and taking me by the shoulders back to the bathroom. Feeling frightful, I stared at myself in the mirror and then looked down.

"Oh god," I breathed and then passed out.

When I woke up I was laying on the couch with a cold compress on my head.

"What the-…"

Pulling the cloth off my forehead, I swung my feet to the ground and sat up.

"Thank god," Sam's voice breathed. Looking up, I found myself in our living room with him coming into the room.

"Umm…hi?" I said quite bewildered to what was going on. Our little puppy Bentley, who we finally named, came running up to me, licking my face like crazy.

"Are you okay? I got here and you were already out," he said coming to sit by me. I rubbed Bentley's head and tried to remember what happened.

"I was out?" I asked confused.

"Well well look who's up," Leah said leaning against the doorway. She held a small glimmer in her eyes and I was curious to why.

"Bella, what happened?" Sam asked worried.

"Huh?" I asked still flustered. I didn't remember much. There was this morning when the weather was crappy out. Then Sam left for Patrol all day. I made soup…Leah came over and I…oh crap. Snapping my head up to Leah, she gave me a nod.

"Hey, Bella! Are you okay?" Kim asked coming into the house.

"We heard you passed out," Sarah said behind her.

"Had to stop and check on you," Andrea said.

"Yea, I'm good, thanks guys," I smiled, setting Bentley down from my lap and getting up from the sofa. Loosing my balance slightly, I felt Sam catch my arm and steady me.

"We should get you to a doctor," he said concerned.

"I'm okay, really," I said with an apprehensive smile on my face. Giving him a quick kiss, I passed him and went to walk off to the kitchen.

"Well, since the boys night was cut short we figured to bring it here," Jake said in my kitchen.

"Oh hey," I said surprised finding most of the Pack in my kitchen.

"Soup smells good Bells," Paul said.

"Thanks," I smiled ruffling his hair. Standing in the middle of my kitchen, I was unsure what to do. Reality was still hitting me and making me go slightly pale.

"Leah, can I talk to you for a minute?" I asked, grabbing her arm as she stood at the entryway of the kitchen. Trudging us both out the front door and to the outside, I moved far enough away so the guys wouldn't be able to hear us.

"I'm pregnant?" I whispered loudly.

"That's what the test said," she smirked.

"You can't be serious," I said biting my lip.

"I thought that's why you guys stopped protection Bella, you and Sam wanted this," she said confused.

"Yea, but its like…really happening," I said starting to fidget and pace.

"That's what happens when you…never mind," she said, not wanting to complete that sentence as she cringed.

"Well are you going to tell him?" she wondered watching me, "I mean your scent is bound to change soon."

"Has it?" I asked coming to a dead stop. "Smell me."

She rolled her eyes and took a lock of my hair to smell. "No not yet. There is a hint of something I can't place but unless someone was to really look for it then no, you can't tell."

Letting out a breath I nodded.

"Why are you so freaked?" she asked again, "this is great."

"This is…scary shit," I said pacing around. "I'm going to be a parent soon. Sam and I are going to be parents."

"Which is awesome. Seriously Bella, you need to tell the guy."

"Maybe later," I said trying to gather my thoughts.

"Well then in the mean time, try not to pass out again or anything."

"Yea," I breathed. "Hey, speaking of which," I said stopping her before we went to walk back to the house, "what happened when I did that. I don't remember…"

"Well, you saw the test and passed out. Luckily I was behind you and caught you. I took you downstairs, laid you on the couch and went to get you a cold compress. Before I even went back upstairs Sam was rushing through the doors. He thought he felt you were scared and needed to check on you. Obviously he had a freak attack when he saw you. I went back to your guys' room, hid the test and got you a cold compress."

"Thank you," I breathed, hearing her hide the test.

"Figured you should tell him instead of him finding out," she said.

"Where did you hide it?" I wondered.

"Wrapped the pee stick in a load of toilet paper, threw away the box- hiding that at the bottom of the trash can- and stuffing the test under your sink."

"I owe you one," I breathed, letting us walk back.

"Yup, no problem," she said.

"Everything okay?" Sarah asked coming out with the rest of the girls.

"Yea why?" Leah wondered.

"The boys here were just about to send us out to look for you guys," Sarah said.

"Well, we volunteered," Kim amended.

"And fought against our boys," Andrea said.

"Funny sight to see," Lin commented.

"We're all good," I said walking up the steps.

"What happened?" Charlie asked walking up to our house.

"Hey dad, Sue," I smiled stopping to hug them.

"Bella passed out," Kim said. Charlie looked alarmed and Sue raised an eyebrow. Pretty much everyone in La Push knew Sam and I were trying to have a baby- or at least, everyone was expecting it.

"I'm fine, honestly," I said walking in my house with everyone.

"I still think we should take you to the doctors," Sam said coming over to me.

"I'm okay, promise," I said with a small kiss to his lips.

"I think you should still go Bells," Charlie said.

"I'm fine," I pushed, moving to finish up dinner I had started to cook.

"You're probably over worked," Leah said for me. She went over and sat on Cole's lap. "You've been busy with the studio, the Pack, settling back in with Sam, and trying to get back into the music industry. I think it's expected," she shrugged.

"Thank you," I said moving around the kitchen.

"I'll help," Sam pitched.

"Stop worrying," I said looking in his eyes.

"What happened today Bella?" he asked me with a hand to my face. Glancing to him and then the rest of the guys, I bit my lip. I felt like Sam should be told in private that he was going to be a daddy, but until the guys left, I couldn't do that.

"Nothing, we can talk about it later if you want. But honestly, I'm fine."

His eyes narrowed and he nodded, "fine, but we're going over your day and making you cut back on music from now on," he said going to help me.

"We'll see about that," I murmured. Laughing as he said he heard that, I smiled back and took peeks at all of the guys talking.

"So," Sam said after everyone left and we were alone.

"Dishes?" I asked looking at our now dirty kitchen.

"If we go over what happened today," he bargained. Rolling my eyes, I shook my head and took his hand.

"Tomorrow then, lets go to bed," I huffed. It was late anyways and I was tired.

"I thought I felt you were scared," he said as we walked up the steps.

"Not exactly," I said as we made it into the room.

"Did Leah try to scare you or something? Is she okay?" he wondered.

"She's fine," I said having him sit on the bed.

"Bella," he said catching my hips as I went to go walk away.

"Just hold on," I said moving away from him, "and stay there."

Doing as I said, he stayed there but continued to ask questions. As he did that and I tried to calm his fears, I went looking for the pregnancy test Leah hid for me. The girl hid it well I must say. It took me a minute or two to find it.

"What are you doing?" Sam asked a few feet behind me. Startled, I hit my head on the pipes.

"Oww," I complained, backing away from underneath the sink.

"Sorry Baby," he said with a hand on the back of my head to make sure I didn't hit it again as I got up.

"I thought you were going to sit on the bed and wait for me?" I asked.

"You stopped answering my questions, I wanted to make sure you were okay," he shrugged, Rolling my eyes, I knew he was somewhat lying.

"Your questions were all the same and you're a horrible liar Mr. Uley."

"Then tell me what's really going on Mrs. Uley," he said bringing my waist to meet his.

"This," I breathed, holding the wad of toilet paper in my hands. Setting it on the sink, I unraveled it and showed him the test. 'Pregnant' the digital reader said. Waiting a few seconds, I waited for his eyes to meet mine again.

"Your…" he breathed while touching the words 'pregnant' from the stick.

"Yes," I said. "I was getting light headed all of this morning and when Leah came over, she made me wonder if I was. So she drove me down to Forks, we bought a test and I took it. All of the waiting was the freight you felt, and then well, I passed out and you know the rest," I said.

"We have a baby," he said pulling away to run his large hands over my stomach.

"It's more like a tad pole right now, but yea, something like that," I smiled nervously.

"Bella," he breathed looking at me with teary eyes.

"Yea?" I asked with my teeth holding my bottom lip. A warm hand came up to the side of my face and pulled my lip away. Leaning in, he gave me a long warm kiss. I moaned as he slipped his tongue in my mouth. I missed these kisses.

Siding my arms around to the back of his neck, I loved how he pulled me closer.

"You're pregnant," he said in a short pant when we pulled away.

"That I am," I confirmed. "You okay with this daddy?" I asked hesitantly. As the words clicked in his head, he looked up from my flat stomach and grinned.

"I'm going to be a dad!"

We told the boys a day later, Sam not able to keep it bottled inside of him. Everyone congratulated us and was happy. I couldn't believe all of the hype one baby could bring to everyone. Charlie and Sue were ecstatic to soon be grandparents, along with Sam's dad and Phil. The girls were all freaking out and Leah was proud to be the first one to know. Even Liam was happy for me and couldn't wait to meet the girl or boy growing in my tummy.

When I broke the news to the Cullen's, Alice started running around their house at vampire speed, Jasper graciously smiled at me while trying to hold his own composure with all of the happiness and excitement his family was feeling, Esme got teary eyed, Carlisle congratulated me, Edward grinned, Emmett boomed with happiness, and Rose vowed she would spoil the child.

My months of pregnancy went by quick and I was glad it was easy enough. I wasn't morning sick very often but had the most weirdest food cravings. Sam thought many of them were disgusting but I blamed it on his growing son or daughter in my stomach. That single phrase always got him to crack a smile. It didn't matter if he was worrying about me or the Pack going crazy over my pregnant belly, whenever I mentioned him being a daddy or the kid growing in me, he was happy as a clam.

My water broke the day Sam, Bentley, and I were still putting together the nursery. We were pretty slow on the whole process since Alice and Rose continuously sent numerous gifts that were piled up to our ears. So as the day finally arrived, Sam rushed me to the hospital and we checked ourselves in.

Having a baby was probably one of the most painful and crazy things I had ever done. I swore to Sam and myself that there would be no such thing as having three kids in our future. There was just no way I could do this again. I was in labor for 9 and a half hours, sweating like a pig and cursing to myself. Sam was there for every step yet sometimes pulled out of the room as I cried in pain, which he had a hard time seeing. Our baby girl was born at 2:59 in the morning, with a dark patch of hair and faint light eyebrows. We named her Nora Grace Uley. She was the most beautiful tiny thing I had ever seen. Sam stood next to me, staring at the two of us. The look on his face was indescribable and I immediately handed him his baby girl to hold. Our child in his large arms made me laugh a bit. She looked even smaller if that was possible as he held her. Kissing her warm forehead he leaned down and kissed mine too.

"Go show her off to the guys," I smiled faintly. Laying my head back against the bed, I began feeling tired.

"I'll be right back," he whispered softly, kissing my lips.

Our life with our little girl was so much different. I went home a week after being in the hospital. It was such a relief to be back and in my own bed. Bentley was jumping in happiness we walked in the door and had taken the new baby really well, being protective of it like both Sam and I already were. The Pack, along with our fathers' had finished the nursery for us and the Cullen's had already sent gifts to welcome here in the world. Nora Grace was right at home and already spoiled. She slept through most of the nights and was eating like a pro. Honestly, she was the easiest baby I had ever laid my hands on, and she was all Sam's and mine.

The Pack made frequent visits over our house to see her, and luckily, no one had imprinted on her. The thought had me feeling mixed things. I felt like maybe this meant she was destined to have a somewhat normal life, while the other part of me thought that maybe it just meant more trouble in the future. I debated myself about when the time would come and when she would go up, if she would know the legends. I mean, we did live in La push and it was her heritage, but what if the whole wolf thing didn't happen? Did I really want her to know this world? And did I really want her to think about imprinting all of the questions surrounding it? But as I held my little girl in my arms, rocking her to sleep, all of that stuff didn't matter anymore. I didn't care about what to do in the future because the future was still a ways a way.

Nora Grace was now 4 years old and talking like crazy. She walked all over our house, up and down, acting like her daddy, all jolly and cool. She had the mothering side to her too as Sam and I had our second kid, a boy we named Gavin Foster, only two years after Nora was born. And now, I was expecting our last and final kid (or so I hoped). We were expecting another boy, who we were going to name Owen Davis. I was only 5 months pregnant but couldn't wait to see what he looked like. Both Nora and Gavin had little patches of hair when they first came into the world, which were now grown into full heads. They were both tan skinned; Nora's having more of pale skin and being more of a brown haired girl like me. As for Gavin though, he had his father's skin and hair but carrying a mix between both of us. I was happy to see my facial features dominated my little boys face while Nora was like her daddy. It was not just his mannerisms that she had but also the way she expressed herself, cared about people, and had a certain look.

Sam was whipped from the beginning after Nora came. All of our Pack could see it. Even when our daughter was just a little over a year, she had the 'pretty' eyes down and he was a goner, giving her whatever she wanted. When Gavin arrived, he was whipped even more. He was so happy to have a boy in our family too, etching to show him the ropes of sports and how to be big and strong like his dad. I had to calm my husband down a few times, reminding him Gavin was only a few years old and that he couldn't always do everything Sam had pictured for him right away. It was funny to see a enthusiastic Sam, for the Pack and me. And now as Owen was coming, I was wondering how Sam would react to this child, along with our kids.

"Hello," A voice called.

"Hey Kim," I said walking into the kitchen. Both of our kids and the dog were watching TV with Sam on the couch. Right now, they were in a big phase of Dora the Explorer and Blue's Clues.

Kim and Jared quickly got pregnant and had a kid after us, their child being a boy, named Carson Gabriel. He was an adorable little kid, looking like Kim but acting almost a 100% like Jared.

"Where is Sarah?" I wondered. We were all going to have a Pack picnic today at the beach, full of food, fun and surprisingly sun.

"Having a hormonal meltdown on the driveway," the girl said with an understanding face. Sarah was pregnant too, running a week past her due date. It was kind of funny, after having Nora Grace that all the girls started getting married and pregnant. It was like a baby and wedding mania between all of us in the Pack. But anyways, poor Jake was getting a lashing from her with whatever he did. Even the littlest things set her off, being super sensitive and all. My poor best friend was walking on eggshells till their child decided to make an entrance in the world- and Jake was praying for it to be soon.

Being late sounded horrible, as she cried to us that all she wanted to do was have this kid. Her feet were swollen, it was a warm summer and to get from here to there, she waddled. She couldn't control her emotions, especially around the guys. A few times she had told Brady, Embry and Quil off. I think once she almost snapped at Sam who immediately had backed off. But not only this, the poor girl had the weirdest food cravings.

"Hey hey," Leah said coming in with her husband Cole. After a year of convincing to Billy from both the werewolf and vampire side that the secret should be shared with her mate, the elder caved, taking it up with the rest of the council and letting her share the secret. He was pretty freaked at first but when Leah saw how bad he was reacting and cried, he immediately pulling himself together and said it was okay, nothing could make a difference. It was sweet to see and he was a really great guy. They had been married for a year now, and still enjoying it.

Leah always teased us pregnant woman that she would not be joining our little club for the longest time, which I responded back to her with that I would be out of the 'clu'b after this little guy came out. Sam never really liked to hear that- wanting another kid or two, which made Leah and I say it even more. I didn't know if I could handle more kids than what I have now. Our family was getting big and even Sam and I were thinking of getting a different house. Speaking of which, Sam was going to be stepping down soon. We deliberated it for a while, but he wanted to start living the old normal life and not going out to do things like Patrols.

"Afternoon guys," Quil said with a hand on Claire's back. Claire Bear was getting old too. I felt like time passed too quickly. It was obvious as she was in her beginning teen years now that she was getting a crush on Quil. That boy was soaking it up for all it was worth. He loved knowing that she did but she never admitted it. Those two played each other like a game.

"Where's Sam?" Embry asked coming into the house with Andrea and an empty cooler for drinks.

"Couch with the kids and dog," I grinned as he rolled his eyes. Embry and Andrea were great, doing things a little backwards. She was now a few weeks pregnant, and not married. Sam had the man-to-man talk with him, but I told my husband he needed to take it easy- there wasn't much he could do about it now. Andrea was enjoying the life of a pregnant woman, but feeling the downside of morning sickness.

"Hi Mom," Liam said walking into the kitchen and giving me a hug. Paul and Kris came in too in tow, holding each other's hands. Kris Fuertes, a girl Paul met at Liam's school actually, wasn't his imprint but he still liked her. She was a first grade teacher, the room across from Liam's. They met randomly during some school function Will had and sparks flew I guess. She was a great person, funny and sweet, with tan skin and black hair. She came from a different Res and settled here, now joined in with us nicely. Liam and her had a special bond too and I think he was almost ready to start calling her mom. We were all a little worried at first though when he didn't like her in his dad's life. I remember how he spent the weekend at our house because he was so upset with Paul. It was heart breaking to see but eventually the two Lahote boys sat down and talked it over.

It was kind of funny that it didn't bother my kids that Will still called me mom. They never really questioned it or seemed puzzled by the word. I pondered over it for a while but then didn't even bother with it. I was glad that we could still have that relationship in a comfortable manner. Liam was always over too. With his dad and Kris thinking of starting to settle down and have a life together, Will always liked to hang around here with our kids. He took good care of them, being good company and was definitely a caring and nurturing guy. I saw a lot of Paul in him and some traits of Kris too.

Moving to go in the living room, I watched as he sat next to Nora.

"I swear they have a thing going on," I muttered more to myself than the people in the room.

"I wouldn't say that in front of Sam," Kris joked.

"He knows it, he just doesn't want to admit he see's it too," I said looking back to my daughter who had her head leaning near Will.

"Sorry we're late," Brady said coming in with Joey, Collin and Reese. Reese was Collin's plus one. Like Leah and Paul, Collin hadn't imprinted but found he liked the girl. Reese was his age, and they started going out after the whole photography hook up thing. They had actually met again when Reese was looking at my music studio. It was a total coincidence, but in a way, I think Collin took it as a sign as it was meant to be. Reese had straight sandy blondish hair and a smile that light up a room. She was jolly and lighthearted, always happy when she was near Collin. She had the prettiest hazel eyes too and was included in everything. The love between the two was really cute. Not only were they a cute couple, always having a hand on each other and beaming like the sun, but also they were very in tune with each other. I was glad Collin took the steps to ask her out. He said something along the lines of having 'charm' and 'swag' while Reese would always just say it was more like he was so embarrassed she found it cute and had to say yes.

"Ready to go?" I called to my kids.

"Yea lets go!" Sam said shutting off our TV.

"Leaving without us?" Seth asked in his beachwear with Lin behind him.

"Oh hey guys," I smiled. Both Seth and Lin had grown so much. They were a cute couple too, always holding hands and being with each other. Seth, being the great guy he was, always was swept away by Lin. Anything she wanted or needed, he made it his personal quest to give it to her. Both him and I liked to believe she saved him from himself. He was on a dark path till they met. Imprinting messed with his mind and she was like the light at the end of the tunnel.

As my kids and Bentley came into the room, I realized how much our Pack had really grown. There were now so many people with their own lives to worry about, I forgot how much we really haven't had time to see each other. It was harder when we all had our lives and weren't so intertwined with each other like we once were. As we stood around talking for a few seconds more, I smiled thoughtfully at our family. No matter how far away we were, we were all still family.

"Okay, my kitchen is crampt, lets go," I called, ushering everyone out. Sam kissed on the cheek as he passed, staying behind with Embry to fill up the cooler with juice boxes, beers, sodas and waters for everyone to have. As I took the kids and the dog down to the beach for another memorable day, I turned back to face my house and thought how everything changed. It was no longer all on me- the pressures and life's turning events. Sam had changed my life, being a full human or not.

A/N: The end? Review and let me know if I missed any loose ends!
