Bella's POV

I wake up in Josh's bed and try to remember what happened the night before. I have to stop crying myself to sleep, that was so not how I wanted to spend the evening with Josh.

It was because of the baby room. It's beautiful and I felt bad that he's done so much and I've done nothing. Honestly I'm not ever sure what I need to do. I know he needs a place to sleep and a car seat and some clothes. Is that it? I'm in way over my head. Oh and I accused Josh of not being involved with Sam even as a baby. He probably hates me now. That's why he didn't even sleep with in here with me last night. I screwed up everything in less than a day.

I get up to find my phone; it's on the night stand. He must have put it there; I look at the time and see it's only 4 in the morning. I don't have to be awake for another hour but if I go back to sleep now I'll wake up feeling like crap. I'm starving but I'm sure he doesn't have any food here. What kind of person doesn't keep any food in the house? I get up to take a shower, I'll have to stop and get breakfast on the way to work. I walk into the living room and Josh is sleeping on the couch. I try to open the door as quietly as possible but he wakes up.

"Hey sweetheart, did you sleep good?" He asks.

"Just fine thank you. I'm sorry about last night, I'm just going to take a shower and go if that's OK." I tell him.

"Bella it's 4 in the morning, you don't have to be to work for 3 hours, what's wrong?" He asks concerned.

"I went crazy last night and I was so mean to you." I tell him confused.

"Bella you were just emotional, it's OK and you weren't mean to me." He motions for me to come sit on the couch with him so I do.

"I'm scared; I've never been in a relationship where other people would get hurt if it didn't work out." I admit to him.

"It's OK to be scared but talk to me about it sweetheart, don't try to run."

"Why aren't you mad at me for what I said about you not being there for Sam even when he was a baby?" I ask him.

"Because it's true, I wasn't that involved, I did work all the time and it was a long time ago. We can figure out everything together."

"You'll be more involved with Jason right?" I ask him.

"Yes Bella, I will be involved as you will let me be. I don't work as much as I did when Sam was a baby and I know how important it is now."

"As I let you? You're his father; you can be as involved as you want." I tell him. "Do you want to come shopping with me today after I get off work or whenever you're done with classes? I really want to get some baby stuff."

"Of course I'll come with you but do you think there is any chance of you moving in here before he's born? Then you wouldn't have to buy all the stuff I have here. Only if you want to though, I'm not trying to pressure you into things. We can take things as slow as you want them." I laugh at that, I'm pregnant what's the point in taking things slow?

I tell him I will hold off buying the big stuff for a while and think about it, but I still want to go and at least get some clothes for him and some other basic stuff, like diapers and bottles.

Do I want to move in with Josh? It would make sense to; it would make things much easier.

"I really need to shower now; I have to stop on the way to work and get something for breakfast, and probably lunch too. I usually take a salad for lunch." I tell him as much as I don't want to get up.

"I got you breakfast and I can bring you lunch."

I ask him when he got me breakfast and he tells me while I was asleep and he tells me about his chat with my dad. Dinner on Saturday should be fun.

"Thank you, that was really nice but don't worry about lunch, I can get it." I tell him and he says OK, if I'm sure.

Just as I get up to get in the shower Sam calls me to check on me. I talk to him for a few minutes, get my clothes out of my car and then take a shower.

After I get out and dressed he sits with me while I eat then he kisses me goodbye and I leave. I could totally get used to this.

The day goes by quickly and I call him to see if he can meet me at the store now, the only option is a small little store that is way overpriced but the stuff is adorable.

He gets there soon after I do. He's looking at bottles and I'm looking at clothes when the sales girl comes over to help me. She keeps looking at Josh and it's pissing me off.

"Why do you keep looking at him?" I finally snap at her.

"Oh I'm sorry he's just really hot and he seems so into the whole shopping thing. It's sweet. You're lucky." She tells me and I tell her thank you and I'm sorry for snapping at her.

"It's OK; I'm used to it working here." She jokes. She's really pretty.

"He has a son, he's my best friend. He's hot too. You should meet him; I can totally set you up with him. What's your name?"

"Emily." She smiles and agrees to being set up with Sam. She helps me pick out tons of cute, overpriced outfits. I don't make a ton of money being a teacher but Sam refuses to let me pay rent so I can afford them.

She takes them to the counter until I'm ready to check out and I walk over to where Josh is still looking at the bottles.

"Do we even need bottles?" I ask him and he says he doesn't know. "I got clothes, lots of clothes. I just wanted to buy something for him. We can wait for the rest of this stuff; maybe go to a bigger, less expensive place too. Oh also, I'm going to set Sam up with the sales girl. Let's check out now." He laughs and follows me to the counter.

I start to pay but he ends up paying it all for me, I start to argue but then think it's not worth it. I'll save my arguing for something more important.

Emily gives me her # and tells us goodbye.

He walks with me to my car and put's Jason's clothes in the trunk.

"Do you want to get dinner before you go home?" He asks.

"I don't want to go home, I ruined last night and I've hardly spent any time with you." I whine.

"Then we can get dinner and go back to my house, you don't ever have to go home if you don't want to Bella." He tells me.

"Can I stay the night?" I ask him and he says of course.

"OK then just let me run home to get some stuff, and then I'll come back." I tell him but he says no why don't I follow him to his house, drop off my car and then he'll take me. I agree so we get his car and head off.

Josh's POV

I'm driving Bella home so she can pick up stuff to stay with me for the night or however long she wants, I'm hoping she just moves in with me soon.

We pull into her driveway and she sighs so I ask her what's wrong, she says Alison is here.

"How do you know?" I ask her because there isn't a car or anything in the driveway except Sam's.

"The little window over the kitchen sink, see? Only she opens the curtains over it and then when she leaves she closes it otherwise it stays open forever and she flips out saying people are going to watch us run around naked because Sam and I always run around naked in the kitchen." She says sarcastically. "She's kind of a freak; I guess I never noticed because I love her so much. She's practically my mom or she was until I disowned her and claimed Sue. So just go home Josh and Sam will bring me over later, after we get rid of her. He won't mind." She tells me and I tell her no.

"We're in this together sweetheart; she's going to find out sooner or later. I'm not leaving." She gives me evil eyes but says fine, it's not like she doesn't already hate her.

We get out of the car and she grabs my hand and walks through the door.

"Bella honey you are making a huge mistake, you have to realize that once he gets bored here he will leave. And you Josh, how dare you take advantage of her, she's so young and screwed up with abandonment issues." Alison starts as soon as we're through the door. I'm about to say something but Bella shakes her head no and glances at Sam. She has complete faith in Sam to protect her even from his mom.

"I told you they were together now mom and everyone except you just wants Bella to be happy. I get this sucks for you but it's not her fault. She didn't know and had she not gotten pregnant she would have never taken him back but she did and they love each other. So until you can be nice to both of them stay away from all of us." Sam tells her.

Good to know if she hadn't gotten pregnant I wouldn't have had a chance.

"Bella I do want you to be happy, I love you like a daughter but he's not the right man for you. And I can't be involved in your life if he is. So you'll have to pick, him or me?" Alison asks her.

"I pick Josh." Bella tells her quietly. "I love you Alison, I do. But he makes me happy and we're having a baby together. I didn't do any of this to hurt you and Sam is right if I hadn't got pregnant I would never have taken him back. But I deserve the chance to have a real family. I'm not going to judge him by the mistakes the two of you made. And if for some reason things don't work out then yeah that sucks but at least I tried." I pull her back into my chest and she lays her head back. Damn I love her so much, even if she is only with me because of the baby.

"Sam I was here first, make him leave." Alison demands.

"Sorry mom but this is Bella's home and you just told her you can't be a part of her life so you need to leave, and like I said before you can stay away." Sam tells her then holds his arms out to Bella, she runs to him and he holds her tight while Alison is looking between us probably deciding on whether or not it's worth it to keep arguing. Finally she starts to walk out and as she passes me she tells me Bella will never love me as much as she loves Sam. I tell her all I want is for Bella to be happy and I'm OK with that. If Sam and Bella had feelings for each other they would have been together a long time ago.

Once she leaves Bella tells me she's sorry for saying she only gave me a chance because she was pregnant but she's glad that it worked out like this.

"You OK Bella?" Sam asks her and she says yes she's fine.

"Are you OK?" She asks him and he sighs and says he will be. "I am so sorry I caused all of this."

"Bella stop apologizing, I get this is weird for her but she has no reason to be overreacting like she is. She'll get over it when she realizes she isn't going to win. Jake and Leah are coming over to watch some movie Jake picked out; I don't know what it is. I'm going to order pizza, are you staying?" He asks her.

"Um I actually came to get stuff for tomorrow; I was going to spend the night with him." She tells him all shy like, she's so cute.

"You can stay if you want Bella, you could come tomorrow after work." I don't want her to think she has to give up her friends.

"No you should go Bella, when are you coming back?" He asks her and she looks between torn on what to do.

"You're sure you're OK with me staying here tonight? I haven't seen Leah in a while and I want to tell Jake thank you for last night." She asks me and I tell her it's fine, she can do whatever she wants.

Sam tells me I can stay but that seems like it would be awkward.

"Oh but I left my car at your house." She remembers but Sam tells her he'll take her to work and I tell her I can pick her up.

She walks out to my car with me and kisses me and tells me Sam needs her.

"Bella I don't want you to think you have to spend all your time with me. I don't want to take you away from them." I tell her.

"I know but I've waited all this time, I'm so ready to be with you. Tomorrow. I love you Josh." She kisses me one more time.

"I love you too sweetheart, have fun tonight and I will see you tomorrow." She smiles and says goodbye then walks back into her house.

Tomorrow. I can wait until tomorrow.
