So I owe you guys a big apology! Thankyou for being patient! I have been sick, doing uni finals for the term, and getting sick again with the flu! (Sadly I am still suffering!) I hope you have all been well, and here is the last chapter! I am going to be finishing this now as I have been extremely busy and I can't see that changing anytime soon. Thankyou to everyone who enjoyed this story. And yes, I am doing a epilogue.
Sam's POV
I smiled at the spare room, closest to our bedroom. Bella was with Charlie today, and wouldn't be back until later tonight. I smiled at the room. All the furniture had been removed, and I had Jared, Paul, Jacob, Seth and Embry with me, painting the room white. I would keep Bella out, until it was finished. We were finding out the sex of the baby in a few days. I couldn't believe Bella was already 19 weeks. We had started betting on what the baby would be. I was sure, that our Jellybean would be a girl, and just was beautiful as her mummy. Bella said Jellybean was a boy, and she wouldn't hear otherwise. Jacob was with me, saying he couldn't see her with a boy. Charlie said he didn't care, as long as the baby was born healthy. I had already ordered beautiful walnut cot, dresser, change table, shelves and a rocking chair. They matched perfectly, and I was sure Bella would love them. They would arrive on Thursday, two days after our appointment. I had Ange kidnapping Bella for a relaxing girl day. I wasn't really sure what that meant, but I hoped Ange meant relaxing. While they were out, I would set up all the baby things. I had Sue kidnapping Bella and Kim on the Wednesday, so I could go and buy the right colours, and not worry about Bella finding everything. I had asked Kim to join, so Bella wouldn't get suspicious. I had already built a build in cupboard, and had purchased little cane baskets from a few women in the tribe. They sized them perfectly to fit in the cupboard perfectly, so Bella could place little bits and pieces in them, so it was well organised. The boys had helped me remove the old carpet, and varnish the wooden floor boards. I didn't want the baby room to have carpet, so if anything got spilt, it would be easy to clean. I smiled at the boys.
"Bella is going to love it… I don't get why you don't just tell her." Embry said to me as we walked out.
"It's simple, he wants to surprise her. Can you imagine how much Bella will appreciate this? She will love the idea of Sam being excited and wanting his kid to have the perfect room." Jared said smiling.
"Besides, after we do Bella's, do you think we could do one for my son?" He asked. I smiled, Kim and Jared had found out last week that they were having a little boy. They had argued about finding out the sex, but Kim had won, saying she wanted to be able to buy the right things, and not neutral colours.
I looked at the room. It looked so strange, with a fresh colour of paint, and freshly varnished floors. I had ordered little decals to go around the border of the room, once we found out. It was blue abc letters if our baby was a boy, and pink cherry blossoms to go on the wall if Jellybean was a girl.
"Bella will love this." Jacob stated.
"She isn't real girly, but I know how much she is looking forward to that baby." He said to us as we cleaned up, clearing away any evidence that Bella would be able to find. It was hard to cover the smell of fresh paint, but I shut the door, in hopes that would stop her from smelling it.
The boys left, to clean up. I told them they weren't to pop back over, unless they smelt better, and there was no paint on them. The moment they left, I took a hot shower, scrubbing off all evidence of my hard days work. I smiled, hoping that Bella would love the choices.
I sat holding Bella's hand, as the woman ran the ultrasound wand over my fiancés now swollen belly. I loved that Bella now had a prominent belly.
"They baby is perfect size, great heart beat." She told us. I smiled at her as Bella squeezed my hand.
"Do you want to know what you are having?" She asked. Bella looked at me first, before we both nodded. I watched as she adjusted the wand.
"I know what you are having." She said to us. I looked at the woman and then to Bella.
"Would you like me to say it, or shall I print out a photo telling you what it is?" She asked.
"Tell us." Bella said nervous, never having looked so anxious. She smiled softly at us.
"Congratulations, you are having a girl." She said to us.
"I knew it!" I shouted excited. Bella looked at her tummy stunned.
"A baby girl…. Really?" She asked. The woman handed me paper towel to help clean off Bella's stomach.
"I can't believe it!" I said stunned.
"A baby girl." Bella said again. I cupped Bella's chin, kissing her.
"We are having a daughter." I said fondly touching her belly.
Bella couldn't stop staring at her small bump.
"I can't believe it… I little girl." She said to me as she sat on the lounge. I smiled, pulling her into my arms.
"She's going to be one beautiful baby." I remarked. She nodded in agreement.
We had organised for everyone to come over for dinner to share our news. Charlie and Sue were first to arrive, followed by Embry, Quil, Jacob, Leah and Seth. Kim walked in with Jared, and Paul arrived with Rachel. Collin and Brady turned up, but I knew they wouldn't stay long. Just long enough to fill their stomachs, than head off. Ange turned up last. Jacob was smiling brightly, as he greeted her. She blushed crimson but seemed okay with the idea of spending more time with him. I knew they hadn't spent a large amount of time together, and Jacob didn't want to push it. He was just happy to have a reason to be around her.
We all sat, filling our plates with chicken and salad, and some other bits and pieces Sue had brought with her.
"So, did bub cooperate?" Ange asked Bella excited. I smiled at Bella as she nodded.
"Yes, we know what we're having." Bella seemed very bouncy, and fidgety. I knew she wanted to tell them already.
"So? Come on, don't leave us in suspense!" Charlie ordered looking at the two of us. I smiled and Bella reached over, taking my hand.
"It's a girl!" I announced. Everyone seemed excited and started to congratulate us again.
"That's awesome you two!" Paul said happily.
"A granddaughter! I'm going to have a granddaughter!" Charlie beamed, as he hugged Bell's. I looked at Leah who was smiling, but she seemed sad. She caught my look and smiled.
"Congratulations Sam. You'll be a great dad too that little girl." She said softly. I pulled her into a hug. I hadn't done this since we broke up, but I knew how hard it was for her, and she was actually attempting to make sure we were happy.
"Thanks Leah." I said softly letting go.
"Well, we should go baby clothes shopping ladies!" Sue said to Kim and Bella. Kim hugged Bella.
"How awesome would it be if our babies were destined to be together!" She squealed. I shot her a look.
"No one is dating my daughter until she's thirty!" I announced. Everyone laughed at this.
"She's not even born yet, and he's already so protective." Jake said smirking. Everyone seemed to find this funny.
"Sam, may I remind you, you are currently engaged to my baby girl." Charlie said to me. I smirked at him.
"Yes, but haven't I proved my love for her?" I asked him. He nodded.
"I suppose, I cannot complain with her choice. A better man, I think I would struggle to find." He complimented. I gave him a thankful nod.
"Means a lot to me, that you feel that way Charlie." I said to him. He clapped me on the back.
I waited until Sue pulled out of the driveway with Bella and Kim.
"Shall we get to it?" Jared asked, walking to his ute, I smiled as he tore off a sheet that hid a can of nursery pink paint. I had decided to keep most of the room white, but would do a feature wall. I painted the one side pink.
"We've got to go get pink curtains, bedding... maybe a little pink lamp." I said to him. He smirked.
"You really do love this baby girl. I can see it now, she's going to have you wrapped around her little fingers, her very first breath." Jared teased. I smirked.
"Is there anything wrong with that?" I asked. He shook his head.
"You will be a great dad."
Bella's POV
I didn't understand it. Sam had me out of the house every chance he got. Yes, Ange had taken me for facials, pedi's and medi's, but I honestly wanted to just stay home, and plan some things for our baby. When I had told Sam that, he told me there was plenty of time, and to just enjoy my day. I wanted to talk baby names, and I wanted to find out which room we would transform into a nursery.
It was late afternoon, by the time I walked in the door. Though we hadn't walked around much, I was tired and wanted to curl up with Sam. He smiled at me as I walked in.
"How was your day beautiful?" He asked as I dropped onto the lounge.
"It was good, but honestly, I would have rather stayed home." I said to him. He smiled lightly and walked to me, holding out a hand. I took it as he pulled me to my feet.
"What are you doing?" I asked as he started walking me upstairs.
"I have a surprise." He said smiling. I frowned as walked me to the spare room door closest to our room.
"Open it." He urged me. I took the handle, turning it, and pushing open the door. My mouth fell to the floor, to see a beautiful pink themed nursery. It was well spaced, with a large white wool rug on the floor, a beautiful wooden cot with pink canopy over the cot. He'd painted a theme wall where he'd placed the cot, as well as placed little cheery blossoms on the white walls to add more colour. He'd hung up beautiful pink curtains with He'd brought a large dresser, and sat a big soft teddy on it. There was a rocking chair in the corner. There was a change table, that he'd filled with nappies, and wipes, and ointments.
"Open the cupboard." He said to me. I slid it open, to fine beautiful woven baskets, that had been lined with stripy pink material, that had little bits and pieces, like head bands and ribbons. There was one that had ear buds, and cottonwool balls. On one of the shelves were little baby shoes. I picked up the pair of pink sandals that had little pink hearts. I opened the other side of the cupboard to find all the clothes I had brought yesterday with Sue and Kim, were neatly hung on pink baby hangers. I shut both, taking in a small set of draws. He'd placed a soft pink lamp with a double photo frame. I walked over and picked it up. It was a photo of Rene, Charlie and I when I was a baby, with the other side empty for when our little girl was born. I turned to Sam, tears in my eyes.
"It's beautiful." I said hugging him. He smiled around at the room.
"The perfect room for our little angel." He said to me.
The amount of clothes being brought for our baby was endless. Charlie seemed determined to make us buy another large dresser. Then, when it wasn't clothes, it soon became toys. There were teethers, rattles, toys that she could chew on and many other little bits and pieces. On the dresser now sat six different bears. I had laughed when Jacob turned up with a large brown wolf that resembled his wolf form. The months were passing faster than I had anticipated. My stomach was swollen and I often felt the tiny movements of my baby. Sam was watching me constantly, afraid I would trip or fall and harm myself as well as our not so much Jellybean. We had decided on a name, but we were remaining silent about it. Charlie was constantly trying to bribe me into telling, but I was certain, I would wait until Charlie could hold her for the first time.
My due date came, and it went. I was extremely uncomfortable, and Sam told me, he expected our child to be stubborn, and that she would come to us when she chose to. I couldn't help but get annoyed. She had dropped rather low, and was constantly beating me up from the inside. She loved to kick me as night, and I was rather sure this was her way of preparing me for lack of sleep.
I was thankful when my waters finally broke five days after her due date. The contractions were uncomfortable, but I had experienced worst. Sam wanted to take me to the hospital immediately, but I held him off. Instead, I relaxed in our bath, trying to keep myself calm, as well as enjoy feeling a little more refreshed.
"Bella, what if you have her in the car!" Sam protested. I shook my head, concentrating on my breathing.
"SAM! BELLA!" I heard Charlie's panicked call. I watched as Sam shook his head and walked out.
"She's okay Charlie! She decided she wanted a bath…." I heard Sam groan. I smiled as Charlie popped his head in. I was well covered by bubbles.
"How you doing kiddo?" He asked, I could see the nervousness all over him. I smiled as him and shook my head.
"I'm fine. Just trying to relax a little." I said shooting Sam a glare.
"Well, don't you think we should get you to the hospital?" Charlie asked. I let out a groan.
"Fine! If it will shut both of you up." I grumbled. Charlie walked out, as Sam helped me stand and get dried off. I dressed into a shirt of Sam's, and a pair of pyjama shorts. Sam grabbed my hospital bag I had packed weeks ago. Charlie and Sam both grabbed an arm each as I walked down the stairs. The moment I reached the bottom. I was hit with another contraction. I breathed it out, as Sam rubbed my back.
"She'll be here before we know it… Now can I know the name?" He asked in the car. I shook my head, as I was hit contraction after contraction.
Sam's POV
I watched Bella as she groaned in pain. My hand was being squeezed at every contraction that was hitting one after the other. I felt bad, watching her get a minute or two break before she got another. The hospital had been surprised as they checked her, to find she was nine centimetres dilated. One nurse had given me an earful, about not getting her there sooner. Bella had tried to defend me, but I was thankful she let it go, as she was hit with another contraction. It took and hour for her to reach full dilation. Bella screamed as she began to push when instructed. Her head hit my shoulder for second breaks, before she began pushing again. I was stunned as I looked down to see a head of dark hair, as Bella gave her final push. I stared stunned, as a small cry erupted, as they placed my new born child on Bella's chest. I fought back tears, as I softly touched my daughters hand and looked at Bella.
"Thankyou." Is all I said. She smiled through her tears, as she looked at our Jellybean.
"Do you want to cut the umbilical cord?" She nurse asked holding out medical scissors. I smiled, taking the scissors and cutting where she was telling me too. I looked at Bella and our baby.
"Okay, we're going to take her for a minute, and take her measurements." They nurse said to us, as she scooped up our baby. I looked at Bella, dropping a kiss to her lips.
"You are amazing." I whispered. She rested her head against me.
I watched as Bella was taken to a room. I smiled as the nurse softly placed Jellybean into my arms.
"Do you think the name suits her?" I asked Bella. She smiled, nodding.
"Yeah, I do." She answered.
"I'll go get Charlie, and I have no doubt that there is a waiting room full of anxious wolves." I said grinning.
"Take her, introduce her to her family." Bella ordered. I nodded, shifting our baby girl carefully, before walking out. Charlie looked up the moment I walked out, and stared at the small bundle in my arms.
"Oh My God!" I heard Leah and Ange say together. Everyone, stood, rushing to me.
"Charlie, meet your granddaughter, Sahara Renee Uley." I said placing her into his arms. I watched as Charlie fought back tears.
"Is Bella okay?" He asked looking at my daughter. I smiled.
"She's doing great. Tired, but doing great." I answered. Charlie looked down at Sahara.
"Sahara?" He asked. I smiled.
"It means wild." I answered. He smiled at her.
"After all, she has Bella and I as parents, I can't see her being tame." I answered as Charlie gave her back. Jacob was next to hold her.
"Can I go see Bella?" Charlie asked. I nodded, giving him directions to Bella's room. The pack took turns, whispering to my baby girl. I smiled as Paul and Jared smacked me on the back.
"She looks like Bella." Jacob said smiling at me. I nodded. She had my skin colour, but her eyes were dark brown like her mothers, and her hair was wavy brown, not black like my own.
"She has qualities of both." Leah said excited.
"Well, I better go tell Mum. She didn't want to come up, as she knew how crowded it would already be." She said smiling. I nodded as she hugged me.
"Tell Bella congratulations. She is beautiful." She did something that stunned me. She softly pressed a kiss to my cheek, before walking away.
Well guys, that's done, and I am sorry how long it has taken for me to upload. There will be one final chapter after this, and that is the epilogue. I hope you enjoyed this story, as I have enjoyed writing it. It was just a lot harder finding the time to do it. Take care, and thankyou to everyone who reviewed, the good, and the not so good
