Bella's POV
I rested against the car seat, feeling very nauseous and dizzy. Sam drove to the Cullen's, pulling up. Esme walked out, slightly shocked to see us.
"Bella?" She said a little worried seeing me. I groaned as I walked to the shrubbery, throwing up again.
"Is Carlisle home?" Sam asked, rubbing my back. She nodded, walking inside. I flinched at my stomach hurting.
"Bella?" Sam asked worried. I shook my head, not wanting to talk. I felt miserable. Once I was ready, Sam carried me inside, placing me on a day seat. Carlisle walked out.
"Sam, Bella, how are you?" He said giving a small smile. I looked at him, suddenly wanting to yell, but feeling too weak.
"Carlisle, she's so sick! She has fainted twice in twenty-four hours, and she's been weak and sick and dizzy." Sam said looking at me with nothing but sympathy.
"Why don't you bring Bella to my office. I can check her over there." He offered. Sam did as he was instructed, carrying me to the office. I looked at Carlisle as he walked in. He probed and podded, taking my temperature, checking for any viral infections.
"Any infections?" He asked looking me over. I shook my head.
"Wait, show him Bella." Sam said to me. I looked at Sam, as he walked over, softly taking my wrist.
"I was told it was safe… If I am the cause for her being sick.." I looked at the worry on Sam's face, as Carlisle observed the scar.
"No Sam, that isn't why she is sick." He said softly.
"I see nothing to truly worry about. This is just one of those symptoms that some people suffer with. The fainting included." He said trying to ease Sam's worry.
"Bella, you need to take it easy. These symptoms usually only sprout when someone has been heavily stressed. I want you to take it easy, try not getting upset." He said to me.
"Sam, I suggest you take Bella home. She's in the early stages of her pregnancy, but rest should help her. I also advise not to allow to her get stressed. The less stress, the better she'll feel." He said softly. Sam helped me to my feet.
"Easier said than done Carlisle…" I groaned, knowing that everything with Victoria wasn't helping, nor was the worry with having to tell Charlie about my being married. Sam walked me out. Esme smiled softly as I gave a small wave goodbye.
Sam became a little difficult when I returned home. He set up the lounge, for me to lay down and relax. He tended to me, by making me some lunch and a nice icy cold drink of orange cordial. I stayed on the lounge, flicking through channels, bored out of my mind. I looked at Sam, who was sitting at the end of the lounge.
"Sam, can you get me my school work? I only have a few more bits, and I'll be graduated. I have the testing next week." I pleaded. He shot me a look, not sure if it was the best idea.
"Look, think of it this way, as soon as school's finished, that's less worry there." I said crossing my arms. He sighed, standing and walking upstairs.
I looked up at the window at the sound of a car. I stood up, looking out to see Charlie's cruiser.
"Oh great…" I groaned, not really wanting to talk with Charlie yet. I wasn't in the mood to give him this sort of news, or explain to him, how I was now suddenly a Quileute.
I walked to the front door.
"Bella!" Sam shouted, causing me to startle. I looked at him innocently.
"Charlie's here." I said to him. He glared at me lightly, placing my school work on the lounge, walking to me.
"Fine, but you are to rest!" He said looking at the lounge. I glared stubbornly at him as he pointed to my jail cell. I walked over, annoyed, throwing myself back on the lounge.
"I'm not going to stay here for the rest of this pregnancy!" I stated just loud enough for him to hear.
"Charlie, what a surprise, come in." Sam said to my father. I watched as Charlie walked in.
"Hi Bell's, are you okay?" He asked looking at me on the lounge, rugged up. I nodded.
"She's just not well at the moment." Sam covered. Charlie walked over, inspecting me.
"I thought you were too early along to be sick already?" He asked. I looked at my dad.
"It's stress. I'll be okay, according to Carlisle." I said softly.
"Well, you take it easy!" He said to me. I rolled my eyes, now having my dad ordering me.
"Don't worry too much Charlie, I took her to see Carlisle, and he just wants her resting." Sam said to him. Charlie looked at Sam for a moment, and then gave a nod.
"Well, I'm glad you made sure she seen someone." He said with an approval nod.
"So what brings you out here?" I asked curiously. He took a seat at my legs.
"Jake said you guys had something you wanted to talk to me about." He said to me. I gapped at him and shot Sam a look, who looked more than displeased.
"Jake huh?" Sam groaned. I looked at my dad, my heart now racing.
"Bella…" Sam whispered, walking over. I felt my head beginning to get light.
"Dad, if I faint, please don't panic…" I begged, holding my head.
"Bella… what is it? You are pale. This can't be good for you or the baby…" Dad said suddenly worried. I shook my head, trying really hard to stay conscious.
"Bella, have a sip!" Sam ordered, holding a cup to me. I took a mouthful of my drink. I felt instantly as things started to clear slightly.
"Bella, perhaps we should take you to the hospital?" Charlie said worried. I shook my head.
"No point dad… We all know what's wrong." I said resting my head against the lounge.
"Yeah… a certain friend is going to be killed." Sam growled under his voice. Charlie looked puzzled at Sam.
"What is going on? Bella, fainting isn't something normal in pregnancy… I can't remember your mother fainting." Dad said touching my face softly. I looked at Sam.
"Carlisle says she'll be fine. Yes fainting is rare, but apparently it's just a symptom." He said to Charlie.
"So what is it that you have to tell me?" He asked curiously.
"Sam, I can't…" I said softly, knowing he'd understand. He gave a nod.
"Charlie, would you come for a walk with me?" He asked. Charlie stared at him and then to me.
"We can't leave her alone!" Charlie protested. Sam stood.
"Trust me, as soon as we give her some space, she'll be fine. Besides, there are a few things I need to talk to you about." Sam said to him. Charlie looked at me worried, before slowly rising.
"We'll be back soon Bell's…" He whispered. I nodded, not sure if I really wanted Charlie to return. The idea of him knowing about my engagement scared me, let alone telling him about Sam and the pack or the marking. I felt terrible about passing it too Sam. Sam bent over, kissing me softly.
"It'll be okay Bell's." He whispered to me. I nodded, watching him straighten up.
"I love you." I called after him as he walked out.
Sam's POV
I was slightly anxious. I wasn't really sure how well this would go. I looked at Charlie as we walked up the driveway.
"What's all this about Sam?" He asked now seeming very annoyed. I looked at him.
"Charlie, I'm about to tell you something you are not going to like, but before I do this, I need your word, and that you will not do anything to Bella. She needs to be stress free, and all of this is definitely adding to her stress. As it is, I will be having a long and strong word to Jacob." I said sighing. I could feel Charlie's eyes on me intensely.
"I could never hurt Bella. Why would you need to have a word with Jake?" He asked confused.
"Jacob has cornered me and Bella, and I do not appreciate it." I answered. Charlie frowned in confusion.
"A corner? How?" He asked. I shook my head.
"It doesn't matter. Right now, I have other things to worry about." I said to him honestly.
"Like?" He asked crossing his arms irritated.
"Bella. I am very worried about her Charlie. She isn't sure how you will react too all this, and the sooner you know, the sooner we can deal with whatever it is we need to. I can't seeing you liking what I am about to tell you, but I think it is necessary to tell you." I answered. He shifted a little, seeming very annoyed.
"Than tell me what is going on with my daughter?" He said bluntly. I sighed, not really sure how the man in front of me would handle the news I was about to break to him. His gun was definitely playing on my mind, as I knew how protective he was of Bella, but shooting me wouldn't do her any good.
"Umm… Charlie, the reason Bella is sick, is because…" I took a deep breath. Sure I was a wolf, but right now, I felt like a worm about to be eaten by a bird.
"She's stressed about telling you, we're engaged." I said quickly, mustering every ounce of strength I had. He seemed to take the first bit fine.
"Engaged? She's nervous because, you want to marry her?" He asked, a little confused. I shook my head.
"No, it's more, yes technically we are engaged, but umm… Charlie things aren't what they seem." I said sliding off topic. Charlie scratched his head.
"Sam, just tell me whatever else have you confused. I already know she's pregnant, what else is there?" He asked. I bit my lip.
"We are, according to the Quileute, already married." I answered. I watched Charlie's face. I had never seen a man change colours so fast; from normal, to pale white, to pink, to red, dark red and finally purple.
"WHAT!" He shouted suddenly very angry. He shook his head in disbelief.
"Bella would not get married without me." He stated glaring and shaking his head. I bit my lip.
"You are correct to a point; we have not had a ceremony or anything like that." I shifted uncomfortably.
"Than how could you two possibly be married?!" He asked crossing his arms glaring at me.
"What do you know about the Quileute legends?" I asked. He shrugged.
"Bit's a pieces, thanks to Billy." He answered. I looked nervous at him.
"Please forgive me Charlie. This is the only way I know to get you believe me" I looked at him pleadingly as I slowly phased. Charlie screamed, stumbling backwards, falling over his feet. I stood looking at him as he was shaking. I dropped down low, showing I was not planning on attacking him.
"What…. What….. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!" He shouted in fear staring at me. As I took a step towards him, he shielded himself with his arms. I let out a small annoyance growl. I knew while I was this form, there was no chance of calming him. I slowly phased back, now standing naked in front of him. His arms were still shielding him.
"Charlie, I will explain, but I need you to listen. Should Bella hear, she will be worried further…" I said slowly seeing him shake. He looked bewildered, readying to start yelling at me. I eyed him as he thought against it.
"Does… Does my…. Does Bella…." He managed to get out, his voice shaking. He seemed speechless as I nodded.
"She knew from the moment we started dating. She knows a lot that you don't Charlie. She loves me, for what and who I am. She is the most amazing person, in this world. There is more things, that we cannot tell you, for your personal protection." I said softly.
"I would die for your daughter Charlie. She is my life, and there is nothing, absolutely nothing I wouldn't do to save her, or protect her. Even if that meant, I myself dying. She knows possibly more than me. Things are not what they seem, and understand that she may not be able to tell you a lot of details, but understand that it is for you. She is safe, as long as she is with me. No harm will befall her." I said to him. He stood gapping at me.
"Come inside, and we will explain more." I offered. He eyed my hand as I offered it. He ignored it, pushing himself up. I walked inside, with him following. Bella was looking pale as we entered. She looked at her father guilty.
"Dad…" She whispered, not really sure what to say.
"Bella…" He seemed lost for words.
"Dad, please don't hate Sam." She said in a mere whisper. I watched Charlie looking at his daughter. He walked to her, pulling her into a hug. He seemed lost, but I knew he loved his daughter. He was battling with himself, as he held her.
"I could never hate your… husband. I may not approve of what you are now living with… but I could never hate someone who loves you." He said kissing her head. I smiled softly.
"I think I should get some clothes on." I said to her. She nodded.
"Ah Bell's, I didn't tell him, that thing that I did. I thought it may come better from you." I said to her.
She looked at Charlie. She was nervous as she now attempted to hide her mark.
"Sam, give me some time with my daughter." Charlie ordered, eyeing me. I smiled softly with a nod, walking upstairs to change.
Bella's POV
I stared at Sam's naked body. I knew now, that it was time for my turn to talk to Charlie. Sam was right, telling him about the mark, with Sam around, was not a good idea.
"Bella…" Charlie started, looking worried about me. I shook my head at him.
"Dad, I'm okay." I reassured as soon as Sam was up stairs.
"Are… will…" Charlie seemed a little worried about what he was trying to ask me.
"Will the baby be a…." He seemed lost for what to call Sam.
"A shapeshifter?" I asked. Charlie looked at me a little list before slowly nodded.
"Yes, that." He said to me. I shrugged.
"Not till their older, and that's if…" I froze. I didn't need Charlie knowing about Vampires. It was bad enough I knew and I was still in danger. I looked at Charlie.
"Dad, if they are, I won't mind. Sam and the pack, they're amazing." I said softly.
"Pack? There are more?" He asked, suddenly paling. I nodded. I watched as he took in the words.
"Jacob…." He said suddenly. I bit my lip softly, nodding.
"Yes, Jake's one." I answered. Charlie looked at me.
"Bella, are you sure you want to stay here, in with all of this?" He asked. I nodded.
"Dad, I am in love with Sam. Though technically we are married by the tribe laws, I do plan on us getting married legally." I said softly rubbing my still flat stomach.
"Bell's… this is not the life I want for you…" He whispered, watching me rub my stomach. I nodded.
"I know, but dad, I was born for this. I feel like I fit in, for the first time. I have people that love me, and friends. This life, I was born for." I whispered. Charlie seemed very lost at my words. He seemed to struggle with the very concept of being able to live like this.
"Bell's…" He said again. I shook my head.
"Dad, this is my life, and I wouldn't trade it for no body. Sam is the best thing to ever happen to me. Even with his secret." I said softly. He eyed me like I was going crazy.
"Dad, I'm his imprint." I said softly, hoping that it would ease him into it, knowing that with everything we had chosen, it was made out of nothing but love. He eyed me.
"Imprint?" He asked. I bit my lip.
"It means soul mate. The wolves, they can't truly love the way they do, without their imprint. It's why Leah and Sam broke up. Leah wasn't Sam's. I am Sam's imprint. It was what drew me to him, and why I couldn't love Jake or…. Edward." I said softly. Charlie looked so lost.
"Dad, imprinting, Sam said, I centre him to this world. The moment our eyes connected, his world started and ended with me. When our hands would touch, before we kissed, I would feel tingles. Once we kissed, it was like our bodies realised we were connected, because it's now just warmth. His phase, doesn't scare me, nor does any of the others. I have become part of the pack, and all of them would fight to protect me." I said softly.
"I'm safe." I whispered. Charlie nodded lightly, dazed with all the information.
"And my grandkids… they'll be like their dad?" He asked. I nodded softly.
"Maybe… it goes on circumstances, but I can't tell you what the cause is." I said softly. He took a deep breath.
"This brings me to the next part." I said looking at him.
"Dad, what I'm about to show you, please, understand it had nothing to do with Sam, or anything. It was my choice, and if I didn't want it, it would ever have happened." I said nervous.
"Carlisle says I'll be fine. And it will not effect the baby." I I slowly raised my arm, flashing my mark. Charlies eyes went dark, as his skin paled. He changed several colours and I could tell he was pissed.
"HE ATTACKED YOU?!" He shouted, causing me to start. I shook my head.
"No, it was not an attack. It's called marking. It means, I am now alpha female, Sam's queen." I said standing and grabbing him as he glared up towards the stares.
"HOW COULD HE BITE YOU?!" He shouted.
"Dad, please…" I begged. He looked down into my eyes. His eyes were angry. I could see every emotional change, as he looked at me. I waited until they softened. Charlie pulled me into a hug.
"I love you Bell's… I just think, I need time to process it all." He said softly. I smiled softly.
"Take all the time you need." I whispered, as I felt his hand touch the mark.
"Dad, if you need to talk to someone about it all, talk to Sue. She knows about marking and imprinting." I said to him as he stood. He seemed a little surprised that Sue knew.
"And so does Billy." Came Sam's voice as he walked down stairs. I watched Charlie shoot him an uneasy glare.
"I'll… I'll talk to you all soon." He walked out at that. Sam walked over, placing an arm around me, as I sighed.
"He took it well." He said to me. I looked at him.
"Call Jacob, and tell him I'd like a little word with him." I said to Sam. He nodded.
"So would I…. so much for my gag order. I can't believe he still managed to get us to tell Charlie." He said to me.
"Yeah, well, he's a complete arse." I said crossing my arms annoyed. Sam smirked.
"Don't worry Bell's. He will regret it." He said with a smirk. I frowned a little confused.
"You'll see." He said not going to further details. I shook my head, feeling very tired all of a sudden. I snuggled into the blankets. I placed a hand on my stomach.
"Your godfather is a pain in the arse." I said to my baby.
"He really knows what buttons to push when it comes to mummy or daddy." I said softly.
"But don't worry, daddy will make sure he never does it again." I said smiling. The idea of being a mum wasn't overwhelming, like I first thought it would be. Yes it had been a shock, but I loved my baby, and I loved the father. All I needed now was to rid of Victoria's threat, and then I would be able to truly enjoy the pregnancy and marriage to Sam. With Charlie now told, half of the stress had already been eliminated. Victoria was all that stood in my way.
Again, I am so so sorry about all the confusion. I have changed it all, so it now circles about the mark. Again, thankyou to those that pointed out my mistake :)
Post those re-views, because without them, i would never have known I made a mistake :D
