Sam's POV

Bella comes home one afternoon after work and tells me she's moving in with Josh and that I have a date at Claire's on Friday, the only decent restaurant with in a hour of here, with a girl named Emily that she met at the baby store.

It will be weird with her not living here because even when she was nannying she spent all most every weekend here but she already spends most of her time with him, on Sundays I usually go over there and we work on his cars while she ignores us and watches crap TV all day.

Even though she doesn't officially live there about half of her stuff is there, all of Jason's stuff is there and she's already redecorated most of the house. He lets her do whatever she wants. She's still a little bit insecure but I think he's just afraid of losing her as she is him.

Friday comes and she comes home and tells me what to wear and tells me to be nice to this girl no matter what because she likes her and she actually likes doing girl stuff like shopping and decorating unlike Leah. I laugh and tell her sure, no pressure there. Then she tells me good luck and she'll see me tonight, she expects a fully detailed report. She's moving tomorrow.

I'm picking the girl up since she seems to trust Bella's judgment, I get to her house and ring the doorbell and when she answers I think thank you Bella, she is hot.

"Hi, you must be Sam, at least I hope so. She's right you are hot, hotter than your dad." Then she laughs and says sorry that's probably weird.

"Don't worry about weird, I'm used to it. My best friend since we were kids is having a baby with my dad." I tell her and she laughs.

"Yeah Bella told me all about it, she's lucky you're so OK with it. So where are we going?" She asks and I told her Bella made us reservations at Claire's. She makes a face and says oh.

"Do you not like Claire's?" I ask her and she says no, the service is awful and people only go there because there aren't any better options besides the diner which she would rather go to if she had to choose.

I ask her what she wants to do and she suggests making sandwiches and going to the beach. Low maintenance and hot. I like her so far. So she lets me in and pulls out a bunch of stuff and we make sandwiches and she packs chips and iced tea and cookies into a bag. It's weird seeing so much food in the fridge.

"You cook?" I ask her and she looks at me funny and says of course what is she supposed to do? Eat pizza every night. "Or there's Chinese or food from the diner…"

"You're serious? You don't ever cook? Doesn't Bella?" She laughs.

"Not only does Bella not cook, she only eats like 5 different things which is why we get a lot of pizza and Chinese and food from the diner."

"I am so going to teach you how to cook. It's kind of fun and way more healthy and cheaper. Maybe I can teach Bella too." She finishes packing the bag and putting everything up and then we head to the beach. I keep a big blanket in my truck just for the beach so I lay it out and we sit there and eat and talk and I really like her. She's funny and confident we have a lot in common.

We talk about what we want out of life, she wants at least 4 kids and she really wants to stay home with all them. I can totally see her raising my kids. She asks about my relationship with Bella and I assure her while we are very close nothing has ever happened between us and it never would have, even if she hadn't ended up with Josh.

"You've never even kissed her?" She asks.

"No but she used to sleep in my bed, then she got pregnant and it got weird for both of us." I tell her honestly. I really like her and Bella and I spend a lot of time together, I don't want anything to come up later where it seems like I tried to hide it.

"That's kind of weird. Did you ever think that she's the reason neither of you stay with anyone for long?" She asks and I told her no, not really but then we were both happy with each other even not being together.

"Am I scaring you off yet?" I ask her joking but worried too.

"Not really, I think it's a tiny bit weird how close you two are but I really like you and you don't do it anymore plus she's moving out with the father of her baby. I like Bella so it's not like I have a problem with her being in your life but I am glad she's with someone. What happens if things don't work out with them? Does she move back in with you?" She asks and I'm thinking crap what do I tell her? I can't tell Bella no.

"I really don't know. I mean it would be hard to tell her no and if she had nowhere else to go there is no way I wouldn't let her. But she has her dad plus she could totally make it on her own. And I'm pretty sure Josh isn't ever going to let her go." I tell her hoping it's an acceptable answer.

"Thanks for that, most guys would have just said they would tell her no even if it was a lie. I like how honest you are and I like the fact that you're so loyal. And forgiving. I like you, really like you." She tells me and as lame as it sounds my heart skips a beat.

"I like you too Emily." She kisses me and it is like nothing I have ever felt before. Like she's what I've been waiting for without ever realizing it.

We spend hours on the beach talking and making out and then talking some more. It's one in the morning when we decide we should probably leave.

"When can I see you again?" I ask her.

"You're helping Bella move tomorrow, or later today actually, right?" She asks and I tell her yes. "Well when you're done why don't all of you come over and I'll make dinner." OK this girl is amazing. I tell her yes and then we talk about what Bella will actually eat. She decides on lasagna. I take her home and kiss her good night and think about her the whole way home. Bella is sleeping on the couch with the TV on which means she fell asleep waiting for me so I wake her up knowing if I don't she'll wake me up as soon as she does.

I shake her awake and as soon as she's awake she demands details. So I tell her everything from the beginning to the end and tell her we're having dinner with her tonight. She scrunches up her nose but agrees.

"She's amazing Bella." I tell her and she says yeah I know.

"You deserve amazing Sam." She tells me then says good night and falls right back to sleep.
