I don't own Twilight, as much as I wish I did, it all belongs to Stephanie Meyers
Bella's POV
Charlie seemed fairly angry.
"Dad, it's just words, from a very bitter, snarly teenage girl." I said driving towards Sue's.
"Bella, have you been sexually active without my knowledge?" He asked, straight forwards. I felt my face burn bright red.
"Only with Sam, and that was very, very recent!" I said scarlet. He looked at me sternly.
"Mike Newton?" He asked. I pushed on the brakes, pulling the car up.
"Dad, you have got to know me better than that! Mike hit on me the minute I started at school, but I can tell you now, I have never precipitated it!" I said looking at him slightly disgusted that he'd even need to ask me such a question.
"Bella, I do know you, but teenagers are sneaky!" He said looking at me. I slowly pulled back onto the road.
"Dad, I promise you now, no, I have never been with Mike, nor will I ever! I am in love with Sam, and before Sam, it was Edward, and he's old school!" I said to him. He looked at me strangely.
"Old school? Is that hip for something?" He asked. I blushed and shook my head.
"I was a virgin until Sam! Edward wants to be married and all that other stuff before marriage!" I answered, driving as quickly as I could to Sues.
"Hmmm… I think I like Edward a little more now." He said to me. My face was crimson red as I pulled up at Sues. She walked out smiling as Charlie got out of the car.
"Hi Bella." She said smiling at me. I waved, not trusting myself to speak.
"Are you okay?" She asked looking at me strangely then to Charlie.
"I have to go, plans to visit people." I said pulling out of the driveway as quickly as I could. I pulled up at Sam's. Paul, Jared and Sam walked out, followed by Leah. I groaned slightly, not in the mood for Leah. Hadn't I suffered enough?
"Hey babe." Sam said opening the door.
"Hi." I said kissing him softly. I noticed Leah look away. I quickly pushed Sam away, not wanting things worst between Leah and I.
"Is someone able to join me to the treaty line? I'm going to head over to the Cullen's." I said looking at the boys.
"I will. I have to head off anyway." Leah offered. I didn't want to say no, said I nodded awkwardly.
"I'll see you soon. Let me know when to meet you." Sam said to me as I got in the car.
"I'll text you." I promised.
I drove in silence.
"Your mums a lovely person." I said nervously. Leah looked at me.
"Yeah." She said simply. I bit my lip. I wanted to become friends with her somehow.
"Seth's awesome too. He seems a lot like your mum." I said again. She looked at me.
"What are you doing?" She asked. I looked at her a little surprised.
"I am trying to talk to you. Its not like you actually talk to me at home, so I thought, maybe without the boys around…" I suggested. She rolled her eyes.
"Bella, I have no issues with you. I don't want to be friends, and I am not going to want to have things like that until maybe I imprint." She said crossing her arms. I looked at the road. I didn't want to say another word.
"Let's make this simple. You have the only guy other than my father and Seth that I have ever loved. Things can not be fine between us. Yes, I am a wolf, and Sam is my alpha, but if I had my way, I wouldn't be a wolf, and he would no longer be in my life." She said crossing her arms.
"You're lying." I said softly. She shot me a stare.
"Even I know that you still want him in your life, whether he is your boyfriend or not. It's better to have him in your life than not at all." I said softly. She looked at me, fighting tears.
"How would you know?" She asked. I slowly pulled up, stopping at the sight of Edward and Emmett.
"Because, I'm there right now." I said looking at Edward. She looked up and then to me.
"Yeah, well you made your choice. I had none." She said getting out of the car.
"Leah!" I called. She turned and looked at me.
"I know its horrible to see us together, and I have tried really hard not to make it worst. The only person who can stop the pain is you, and I truly am sorry." I said to her, trying to establish some sort of relationship.
"Yeah, so am I." With saying that, she turned and walked away. I watched as Emmett and Edward walked to the car.
"Hey Bell's." Emmett said smiling.
"Hey." I greeted back smiling at him.
Emmett was a great guy. I could spend hours with him. He had a huge ego, but was one of the most caring and loyal guys I had ever met. He would fight for family, and I was lucky he seen me as part of his family.
I pulled into the Cullen's driveway. I followed Edward and Emmett inside. Esme was in the kitchen making food. I smiled at the smell of chicken.
"Hope you're hungry Bella." Esme said sweetly as I walked in.
"I am actually. I haven't eaten all day." I said sitting at the bench as the boys took off upstairs.
"Well I have made you a chicken garden salad." She said holding out my plate. I smiled at the meal. There was lettuce, baby spinach, tomatoes, capsicum and cucumber with a tangy salad dressing.
"Thankyou Esme, you really didn't have to go to any trouble." I said to her as she took out a fork for me. She smiled.
"Bella, I love being able to use the kitchen, you know this." She said to me as I sat down. She placed a fresh icy cold glass of orange juice in front of me.
"And if you are still hungry after, there is left-overs." She smiled. I shook my head with a smirk.
"Thankyou." I said taking my first bite. It was very re-freshing and light. I felt very satisfied.
"So how was your day?" She asked once I finished. She took my plate as I told her about Jessica, and Charlie's reaction. She seemed a little concerned.
"But, I am fine, I just wish I didn't have to have that crazy talk with Charlie." I said to her. She nodded.
"I cannot imagine it would have been pleasant." She said to me as we walked and sat in two very comfortable arm chairs. I noticed her eyes linger on my stomach. Once more I looked down, frowning. The moment she realised I caughter her, she looked away.
"Okay, I definitely wasn't imagining it! What's going on?" I asked accusingly. She looked at me a little startled.
"I don't know what you mean Bella…" She said nervously. I looked at her a little irritated.
"I'm not stupid Esme. Edward was staring at my stomach yesterday, and now you." I said crossing my arms over my stomach.
"Is it I have put on weight? Or have I something spilt on me?" I asked confused. I notced her shift a little uncomfortably.
"None of those things Bella." She reassured. I looked at her still frowning.
"Than what is it Esme, please you have to tell me." I begged. She looked a little strangely at me.
"Bella, I know something that you don't yet, and it's not exactly something you tell someone every day." She said softly. I nodded.
"And?" I asked, not sure what it possibly was.
"Bella, you're pregnant." She said to me. My jaw dropped as I stared at her. It was a few second later that I began to laugh at her. She seemed stunned to my sudden outburst of laughter.
"Pregnant? Yeah right. Nice one Esme. I can't be pregnant; I only had sex for the first time…"
"Two weeks ago." She cut me off before I could finish. My smile faded, as Sam's concerns flowed through me.
"Oh god." I said standing up.
"Oh god..." I repeated.
"Bella… It's okay…" She said softly. I shook my head.
"Charlie's going to kill me! And Sam… I need to warn the others!" My heart was racing insanely fast.
"Bella… calm down… it's not good for you or your baby!" She pleaded. I felt myself pale as she said 'your baby'. My hand touched my stomach.
"Pregnant…. Esme!" Tears whelmed in my eyes.
"It's okay." She said pulling me into her as I shook my head, suddenly realising the danger.
"Victoria… she'll kill my baby…" I suddenly sobbed. She held me tight.
"No she won't Bella; we'll protect you and your little one." She said in a soothing voice. Tears fell down my face as I placed my hand to my stomach. I was pregnant, and I was in shock.
"Bella, have a drink, it'll help calm you." Esme coached, holding the juice to my lips. I took a mouthful. She was right; having a drink calmed me down somewhat. I slowly sat myself back on the chair.
"I can't believe I'm pregnant." I said softly staring in amazement at my stomach. I looked at her.
"How did you know?" I asked, curious as to how she'd know such a thing. She smiled softly.
"Your scent changed. Carlisle knew when he was fixing you up, but he didn't want to tell you, especially since it usually takes 6 weeks for a person to know. Edward found out after Carlisle and I. He was very upset, but Carlisle calmed him. I believe that was why he was so angry that you'd been taken by Victoria. He may not be the father, but I guarantee he will care for that child." She said softly. I looked down, now aware as too how close Victoria had come to almost ending, not only my life, but also my child's.
Esme and I talked for hours. We discussed everything I needed to know about pregnancy and care for my body and health. She said things had changed a lot since her time, but she had kept fairly up to date, due to Carlisle's medical journals. It was almost eight o'clock, when I messaged Sam we were on our way to the treaty line. I hugged Esme tightly as Sam greeted me
"Did you have fun?" He asked. I nodded, not really sure how to break the news to him. We made it all the way home, and I knew he knew something was wrong, as he kept shooting me side looks.
"Bella, are you sure everything is okay?" He asked, as we sat in silence at dinner. I took a bite of Shepard's pie, taking as long as I could to chew it. He sat staring at me, waiting for me to swallow the bite. Once I swallowed it, he moved my plate away, so I couldn't take another bite.
"What is it Bella? Please, you have me worried." He pleaded, his concern was plastered all over his face. I took a deep breath.
"Sam, you were right…" I said nervously.
"Right about what?" He asked. I looked at the plate, wishing I could try and shove the whole pie into my mouth to stop the next words that I was about to say.
"I'm pregnant." I said slowly. Sam sat there looking at me, as though I had just grown four heads and turned into a guy.
"How… how do you know?" He asked, coming to the same conclusion I had earlier, about it being to early to tell. I took another breath.
"The Cullen's… they can smell the hormonal change… they knew yesterday." I said softly. He looked at me, his jaw hitting the table.
"But we…" He looked down.
"Kim was right, if I am in deed pregnant, because I never miss a pill." I said to him. He slowly took my hand.
"We're pregnant?" He asked slowly. I nodded.
"If the Cullen's are right, then yes, we are." I said softly.
"When are you due for your period?" He asked.
"The end of this week." I answered. He looked at me softly smiling.
"This is why you've been so quiet?" He asked. I nodded.
"I know you said the other day, you would be fine, but it is very overwhelming." I said softly. He pressed a kiss into my hand.
"The other thing I thought of Sam, was Victoria… there is a very big chance she knows I'm pregnant." I said biting my lip and looking worried. He touched my cheek affectionately.
"Don't dwell on her. You are safe, and so is our child!" He said softly kissing me. I nodded, hugging him.
"I can't believe I'm going to be a dad." He said proudly to me. I nodded.
"I can't believe the day I've had!" I said to him. He laughed at me.
"Tell me all about it." He smiled.
Sam's POV
The next few days flew by. Bella confirmed it on the weekend that she was indeed late. I smiled, knowing that it meant we were going to be parents. I could tell she was scared of telling people, as well as having Victoria finding out about it. I had watched how she was being careful to eat the right things, and not miss a meal. She would care for this baby perfectly once it arrived. It also reminded me that I would have to make sure, my pack knew exactly what was going on. They needed to know, that if Victoria slipped past us again, they wouldn't only be hurting the love of my life, but also my baby.
Jacob, Jared and Quil were waiting for me as I entered the kitchen Sunday morning. They were all smiling bright and in great moods. Embry, Paul and Collin showed up together, followed by a foul mood Leah, who had done the night shift. I had Brady collected her, telling her that I was calling a meeting. Seth turned up just before Brady and Leah had showed up. I waited for them all to eat their fill before standing.
"So, as you know Victoria is after Bella." I said looking at them all.
"Well guys, its not just Bella anymore." I said to them. They all frowned, not understanding. It was Jared who's jaw hit the floor first.
"Wow, Congrats Sam!" He said stunned, holding out a hand shaking it. I smiled softly. Jacob looked at me in utter amazement.
"Bella's Pregnant?!" He asked staring at me. I smiled as everyone looked at me.
"She is very early along, but yes, we are pregnant." I clarified. My eyes caught Leah's who's were now brimmed with tears. She stood up, leaving the house. I felt a bit of guilt, but she needed to know. I looked at Seth who seemed excited, but wanted to run after his sister. I nudged my head towards the door for him. He gave a smile and nod, before running after her.
The rest of the pack spoke happily, cheerful at the thought of two pups on the way.
"Kim will be happy to have someone to talk to!" Jared said to me. I smiled at the thought that Bella would have someone to ask questions to, now that Renee wouldn't be there.
"I think that's a great idea." I said to him. I looked at the pack.
"Now, as I was saying, I want this fight ended, and ended soon, so I don't have to worry about Bella and our baby being harmed." I said to them.
"Be extra vigilant. If she makes it back on our land, I want us to know instantly. I will not let Bella stress and fear over the safety of our child. Also, we don't want it spread around like common knowledge. As I said, she is still very early and I would prefer for her to at least get past the first trimester, before everyone knows. We are only telling the pack and family at his point, and we haven't told Charlie yet." I said to them. Jake suddenly looked smug.
"Can I be there when you tell him?" He asked sarcastically. I glared at him.
"Shut it." I ordered. The rest all laughed along with Jacob, asking if they could too. That was one person I was not looking forwards to telling.
Just after the boys left, I was surprised to see Charlie's patrol car pull up. I watched as a very annoyed looking Charlie walked towards the house.
"Charlie, how are you?" I asked looking at him. He glared at me.
"Where is Bella?" He asked. I looked a little shocked at the glare.
"I'll just get her." I walked up the stairs.
"Bella, your fathers here, and he doesn't look happy." I warned. She frowned, getting off our bed and walking down stairs with me.
"Dad?" She said a little uneasy.
"Is it true?" He asked bluntly. Bella looked at me questionly, but I shrugged.
"Is what true?" She asked.
"Are you pregnant?!" He almost shouted, causing her to startle. I walked forward, somewhat shielding her.
"Charlie, I understand you're mad, but I must ask you, not to take that tone with Bella." I said to him. I didn't need Bella upset nor did she deserve it.
"Do Not Tell Me How To Talk To Bella! She Is Still My Daughter!" He somewhat shouted.
"Dad, please, calm down! I don't know how you found out, but yes, I am pregnant." She said looking at him. He looked at her, as though stunned she had confirmed what I had just said.
"And you didn't tell me…" He looked really upset and hurt.
"Dad, I've only just found out!" She defended.
"Who told you anyway?!" She asked. He looked at her.
"Leah. She came storming into Sue's in tears. Sue asked her what was wrong, and she yelled, saying you were pregnant." He said looking at Bella. Bella sighed, giving me a small glare.
"I'm sorry Charlie, this is my fault… Leah over heard us talking." I lied. I couldn't tell him about the wolves, so the only way I would be able to explain this, was Leah eaves dropping.
Charlie looked me over.
"And what are your plans, concerning my daughter?" He asked, almost accusationally.
"I will stand by Bella and our child. I can't wait to be a father." I answered honestly. Bella smiled, taking my hand.
"Sorry dad. I would never have let you find out like this. As it is, I'm only a couple of weeks, and am yet to have my actual scan." She said looking at him. He sighed.
"I'm sorry for how I spoke Bell's… it's just not something a father likes finding out second hand. Not to mention, you are so young!" He said looking his daughter over in worry. She smiled.
"Yes, but I'm happy, and I'm in love, and I already love our child. I will be fine Dad, I promise." She said hugging him. He calmed down quickly, hugging her back.
"A grandfather… I'm a bit too young to be a grandfather." He reprimanded lightly. I watched Bella smile, thankful she was happy, and that Charlie hadn't lost his mind in anger, as I first thought he would.
