Sam's POV
I hate not being there for Bella right now. I know she's being taken care of between Josh and Jake but I still hate it. But I can't leave my shop and I agreed to run the studio plus Emily is pregnant so I didn't want to leave her.
We're driving up to see her this weekend, hopefully with Leah. Leah is being all weird and antisocial but she still loves Bella and Bella wants to see her I'm sure.
Emily is already sleeping and I'm lying next to her trying to sleep when my phone rings.
It's Leah and she's says she's so sorry to bother me but can I please come over. I tell her I'm on my way, wake Emily to tell her and go to her house.
Leah and I aren't really close, we're friends but it's more because we're both friends with Bella and Jake. She never comes to me for anything but then I guess all her other options are in another state at this moment.
I get to her house and walk in and she's sitting on the couch curled up crying.
"What is it Leah?"
"It hurts so bad Sam, something is wrong. I need to go to the hospital. I'm sorry to bother you but I didn't know who else to call. Can you take me?" She's crying so hard. Leah doesn't cry. The only other time I've seen her cry is when her dad died and then she had Jake and Bella and her mom.
I help her into the car and ask her if she wants me to call Jake or her mom. I know she broke up with Jake but they still love each other.
"Bella needs them." She whispers.
"No, Bella has Josh and Charlie. Who do you want me to call?" I ask her. She says to just wait and see what's wrong first.
We get to the ER and we have to wait for what seems like forever before a doctor comes in. I sit with her and hold her hand and think how strange it is to see her like this.
"I'm very sorry but you are having a miscarriage." The doctor tells her and she starts crying so hard. The doctor asks me if they can give her pain killers and I tell them sure, can't hurt right? I guess they assume we're together.
She finally calms down enough to talk.
"This is my fault Sam. I was so convinced I didn't want this baby, I caused this. Jake is never going to forgive me." She whispers.
"No Leah, Jake won't blame you for this. You did not cause this. It doesn't work like that." I try to convince her.
"I was starting to care." She whispers. "When he got back, I was going to tell him; maybe we could work things out. Maybe even try living together. I was starting to love this baby and I love Jake so much. I was just afraid to be Bella. The way Josh looks at her, it's so intense, like he wouldn't let her go even if she desperately wanted to get away. And I thought it was because of the baby but I think it's just them. She's happy. Isn't she?"
"Yeah it's just them. I think part of it is the age thing and part of it is the Bella is extremely insecure thing. He's so protective of her. She is happy but he would let her go if she wanted him too. But you and Jake are so different. You don't need to be protected, you're nothing like Bella and Jake is even more not like Josh. Jake will take you back and Leah you can still have a baby. I'm going to call Jake OK? You need him now and he would want to be with you." I tell her and she shakes her head yes.
I call Jake and tell him what happened and he tells me he will leave as soon as Charlie and Sue show up and does she want him and Sue or just him? I tell him I don't know, he knows Leah not me. He tells me he'll bring Sue back too. I ask him if Josh and Charlie will be OK without them and he says yeah everyone will be fine, plus Jillian's nanny is a huge help. He asks me not to leave her alone and I tell him I won't.
I go back to her and hold her hand while she cries until she finally drifts off to sleep. Jake calls me when Charlie and Sue get there to tell me that him and Sue are on the way back.
I sit with her until they show up. She wakes up and I tell her that they are on the way.
"Thank you Sam, for bringing me and staying with me. I know we aren't that close." She tells me quietly.
"I care about you Leah." I tell her and she says thanks again.
Sue comes rushing into the room and she holds Leah as Leah cries into her, I go out to see Jake.
"Thank you so much for taking care of her. Is she OK?" He asks.
"She's very upset and emotional and she feels guilty. She wanted the baby Jake. She needs you. How is Bella?"
"She's good, nervous about the surgery but Josh is there and he's so much better with her than he was when Jason was born. And Charlie is there for her and he can take Jason if Kylie, the nanny, needs him too. I had to tell her about Leah, I didn't want to stress her out but she knew something was up with both me and Sue coming back. I should go be with her now. Thanks again Sam." He walks into her room and I hear Leah tell him she's so sorry.
He tells her none of this is her fault and he loves her so much.
I go home to see Emily before I have to get ready for work.
A/N I suck at timelines so can someone who please tell me who old they think Jason would be now and also how far along Emily would be in her pregnancy assuming she got pregnant soon after their wedding? I will love you forever if you can do that for me!
