Bella's POV

Seth just texted me that Sue is in labor and I need to get up here as soon as possible and I'm instantly worried because the plan was for Leah to be there while she's in labor and then Seth and Sam and I to come after the baby is born. Something is wrong.

"We have to go to the hospital Sam." I tell him and we get ready to go. 45 minutes later I find Seth crying.

I hate this hospital so freaking much.

"Seth what happened?" I ask him, I've never seen him cry before.

"She's dead Bella, I don't know what happened. Complications, blood loss. I can't go in there; I can't see her like this. My mom is dead" He manages to tell me.

This is not happening.

"What about the baby Seth?" I ask him cautiously.

"She's fine, she's in the nursery. I can't see her either, I don't want to. Charlie won't see her, he won't leave my mom's side. I don't know where Leah went, she took off and Alex followed her. I called you as soon as I found out. It was so sudden. She's in labor and they say it might be difficult then she's dead. My mom is dead Bella." He looks so much like a little boy. I don't know what to say to him. I don't know what to do.

"My mom is dead too Seth." Is all I can think of.

I ask Sam to go check on Charlie and I call Alex to check on Leah. He says she just got in the car and took off driving, he thinks she's headed to his house in Houston but she won't talk to him. I ask him to keep me updated.

Sam comes out and tells Seth and I they are about to take Sue to the morgue so if we want to say goodbye we need to go now.

We walk back together. I love Sue like a second mother but she really is Seth's mom and she's been Charlie's wife longer than I've even known them so I stay strong for them.

We tell her good bye and then Seth and Charlie follow me numbly out to the waiting room.

"Let's go home." Charlie says to Seth and they start to leave.

"Charlie, what about the baby?" I ask him and he says he can't think about her right now. "Does she even have a name?" I ask him.

"You can name her, you're the only one that doesn't seem to care that she killed Sue." He snaps.

"Charlie this isn't her fault, you're going to come back for her aren't you?" I ask him panicked.

"No, Bella I am not going to come back for her." He tells me and at this Seth stops.

"Dad I get you're upset and need time, I'm not ready to see her either but you have to come back for her tomorrow. Isn't that how long babies are allowed to stay in the nursery?" Seth asks him.

"Bella, Seth, Sam before you start, I can't look at her and not think about how Sue is dead and how it's her fault. She deserves better than that. I can put her up for adoption I guess." He says unemotionally and I know he's gone nuts.

"Charlie you can't…" I start to tell him he can't just give her away but Sam interrupts me.

"We'll take her, I'll figure out what we need to do to make it legal and we'll take her." He tells Charlie and I'm like what the freak just happened?

"Bella?" Charlie says.

"Yes, we'll take her if that's OK with you." I tell him still freaking out inside.

"Fine with me. Since she's mine I will call a lawyer and have the papers drawn up. Since it's a family member to family member there shouldn't be a problem just a few home visits and court dates." He says everything so cold.

"Dad you're seriously just going to give her to Bella? Do you really think that's what mom would want? I mean yeah she would want Bella to be involved as her big sister, but she's not supposed to be her mother!" Seth is yelling at him but Charlie just walks away.

"Seth do you want to come home us tonight?" Sam offers and Seth says yes.

Alex texts me to say that yes they are on the way to his Houston house. I text him I'm probably going to adopt my new sister and then he calls me.

I explain everything to him and then he puts Leah on who tells me she's sorry for running but she's can't turn around quite yet and that she also wants nothing to do with the baby but she won't hold it against me if I adopt her. How nice of her I think.

We get home and Seth heads straight to our extra room and I collapse unto the couch and Sam sits next to me and holds me while I finally cry.

"I'm so sorry I offered to take her Bella, I wasn't thinking." Sam apologizes.

"It's OK, as long as you're really OK with it?" I question.

"Yes, she's your sister and Charlie has obviously gone out of his mind. Are you willing to raise her as our daughter, like for the rest of her life?" He asks and I tell him yes, I'm not sure if I'd ever be willing to let Charlie have her back though. "If he signs over his rights to her, he won't be able to take that back."

"Do you think that's the right thing to do? Maybe we should try to talk to him tomorrow, I don't want to wait too long but she just died." He tells me we will try but he doesn't think Charlie will change his mind and he knows him better than me. He's known him longer and he works with him.

About an hour after we get home I realize that the poor baby hasn't had anyone come to see her and I ask Sam to drive me back. I ask Seth if he wants to go but he doesn't.

Once we get there they tell us normally only the parents are allowed to take them out of the nursery but they know Sam and I and they know what happened with Sue and how Charlie walked out so they take us into an empty room and bring her in.

She's absolutely adorable and I can't see how anyone could hold her responsible for what happened.

"Hey little girl, you're my sister but if your daddy doesn't get his head out of his ass then you're probably going to be my daughter. You have a brother who is going to come around and another big sister that I'm not sure about. But I promise you no matter what you will be loved." I start crying because this whole thing is just so bad. "I think it's me Sam."

"You think what is you babe?" He asks confused.

"All the bad that happens to everyone around me. My mom, and Phil and you and Embry and now Sue. That's two deaths and three awful accidents in four years Sam. That's not normal. Maybe we shouldn't take her; I don't want anything bad to happen to her." I'm crying on her now so Sam takes her and lays her in the plastic bassinet thingy. He takes me into his arms and just holds me for a few minutes while I cry.

"Bella I don't know why bad things happen to people you love so often but it's not your fault in any way. That's crazy, they were all accidents except Sue and you had nothing to do that, you had nothing to do with any of it. I can't imagine how hard this must be for you." He holds me until I calm down and I pick the baby up again.

"She needs a name." I tell him.

He tells me we have time for all that, just love her for now.
