Everything belongs to their respective owners

Paul POV:

I grabbed a glass of water and gulped it down with a new thirst. I had been on patrol all night and was going as fast as I could. I was excited about seeing Bella today because we were going on a date this evening. I heard a knock at the door and looked at my watch. It was only noon, probably one of the guys but since when did they knock? I shrugged and went to answer the door. When I opened the door there stood my ex-girlfriend, Margret.

"Margret?" I asked scrunching my eyebrows up. I hadn't seen her in three years when I dumped her because of her, well, vanity.

Margret was tall with waist length black hair and blue eyes, odd combination but she was an odd girl so it worked. "Hey Paul can we talk?" She asked but then sat on the porch swing I had built with Sam a few weeks ago for Bella like I had no choice whether to talk or not.

"Uh sure." I said closing the door and sitting on the porch.

We sat in an awkward silence for ten minutes before she decided to finally start talking. "So you look good." She stated.

I looked down and saw I was in a black wife beater and shorts. "Um thanks, you too." I said not really thinking about it.

She smiled brightly and stuck her boobs out further. "So I heard you knocked up some girl so sorry to hear it." She smiled warmly like she was really forgiving me for something.

"Actually my fiancé, Bella, and I are pregnant with twins and we couldn't be happier, so I'm not sorry." I shrugged fighting back a growl for her calling Bella just some girl.

Her eyes widened. "You're getting married?" She shrieked.

I jumped at the sound hurting my sensitive ears "Yeah this spring."

"Wow thought I'd never see the day where Paul Meraz gets married let alone has a kid." She stared disbelievingly at me.

I chuckled and shrugged. "I guess I figured now was the right time to settle down besides I'm in love with her."

Her eyes widened even further. "Paul and love in the same sentence? Another first." She sighed. "I don't know I guess I was just hoping you'd want all that with me."

I sighed too but mine wasn't sad it was somewhat relieved not that she could hear it. "Well we weren't supposed to be together and I love Bella and my children so . . . . ."

Margret stared at me for a second before turning to face me. "Maybe we could try again Paul."

I stared at her like she was the dumbest person alive and at the moment I think she was. "NO." I practically yelled.

"Oh c'mon Paul I know you love me more than the girl you knocked up and I know you're only marrying her because her father told you to after he found out you got his daughter pregnant." She stated like it was the most obvious thing ever.

"Margret I think it would be best if you got off my land and stayed away from me and Bella and my children." I said firmly. I tried to get up to go back inside but Margret grabbed my arm and started kissing me.

I froze and heard the most heart breaking sob come from the driveway. I pushed Margret away from me just in time to see Bella's back as she ran into the forest. I ran after her completely forgetting Margret who was laughing her ass off on my porch. "BELLA!" I called and got no response.

I looked everywhere I could think of but I couldn't find her. I decided I would have better luck if I phased. I started running around howling and freaking out when I couldn't find her scent. After ten minutes of useless searching I found her scent. I started running as fast as my legs would allow and soon enough I was in a clearing with a Bella who was crying in a ball on the ground and a vampire who seemed to be frozen in place. I slowly stalked my way over to the leech and jumped back in surprise when I saw a leaf floating in mid air by his head. It was a red leaf that had a spider on top of it and both the spider and the leaf were stuck in the air. I whirled around saw Bella lying on the ground clutching her stomach and screaming in pain.

I whimpered and went to her side immediately; I could hear the babies' hearts making odd sounds and started panicking. Carlisle! I need to get her to him now before something happens to her or our children. I quickly maneuvered her so she was on my back clutching for dear life to my fur screaming and crying in agony and fear. I kept whimpering but ran to the Cullen's. I crossed the forgotten border and soon enough I was in the Cullen's backyard. I placed Bella on the ground and started whimpering and barking. Carlisle and Esme ran out and their eyes widened as they saw Bella.

"What happened Bella?" Carlisle asked frantically. He had picked her up after giving me a glace making sure I would allow it and started taking her inside.

Esme walked over to me. I didn't phase back because I had no clothes and Bella would be even more upset if she saw me like that after seeing me kissing Margret. I snarled at the air and started pacing glancing up at Carlisle's office window every now and then. "She'll be okay Paul." Esme tried to sooth me.

I huffed in disagreement. I fell to the ground too tired to fight it anymore and started letting the tears fall scared I had just killed my children and endangered my princess' life. If it wasn't for me Bella would have come home and we would be on our date by now. Esme sat down beside my head and started stroking my fur I leant into her touch putting my head on her lap and continued to cry. I would have laughed at the situation of Paul the big strong wolf crying if it wasn't for the three most important lives in my life were in danger all because of me and my stupidity. I could hear Alice and Rose coming out looking paler than usual and they walked over to me and started reassuring me that all three members of my family would be fine.

I could hear things clanging together and things crashing but couldn't bring myself to look as I lost my family just like I did all those years ago. I closed my eyes and pictured Bella's laughing and smiling. She was so beautiful and I couldn't lose her I wouldn't.
