The Life of Emery Paige

Zombie Bella and Birth of My Baby

October

Carlisle kept his promise, I see him every single weekend. Bella doesn't talk, barely eats, she is essentially lifeless, She goes to class but doesn't take notes, and doesn't do her homework. I can't tell you how she is still passing, at lunch she sits at Cullen's table by herself. I've been spending my time during the week with Billy, his late wife Sarah kept some of the kids' baby things and he is letting me go through them and pick anything I think is cute. On Thursday, I crashed at Billy's house because we had a bonfire and it was too late for me to drive home. I screamed and Billy and Jake rushed in, Billy said "What's wrong?" I said, "My stomach... it hurts." Billy said, "When are you due?" I took a deep breath before saying "November 31st." Billy said "Ok, breathe. Jake, call Sue and Charlie." Jake said, "And say what?" Billy said "That Emery is in labor." the contractions were killing me I don't know how people do this all the time. Sue and Charlie got here rather quickly and she put me in the tub with warm water which surprisingly helped the pain I was feeling. It took about 12 hours to deliver my baby, Sue laid the baby on my chest and said "It's a girl." I looked down at her little face, she had blue eyes and was just the cutest thing ever, and my heart melted. I couldn't keep my eyes off her, it was enchanting to look at her little face. For Halloween, I dressed her in this.

November

Much the same as October, Charlie, Hadyn, and I spent Thanksgiving with Billy, Jake, Harry, Sue, and their kids Leah and Seth and I dressed her in this.

December

We spent Christmas on the rez with Harry, Sue, Charlie, Billy, Jake, Seth, and Leah. I dressed the baby in this.

Hadyn is my smiley girl, she rarely cries and I was worried until Sue said she is completely fine. She doesn't sleep in her nursery, she sleeps in the bed with me, and yes I know it's not recommended but I breastfeed and it's just easier for me. Sue said "Leah, give Rainey to Emery. I want a picture of her with Rainey on her first Christmas." I took Hadyn from Leah. I smiled as Sue took the picture, we had a great Christmas. Carlisle came back for Christmas so when he texted me I excused myself and left.

January

Hadyn is almost three months old, I literally cannot believe it, she is just so stinking cute. I was at Billy's with the baby when I heard Bella's truck pull up, Billy and I shared a confused look while Jake ran out to greet her. He brought her inside and Jake said "Hey, Dad, Em. Look who stopped by." Billy and I were in the tiny square living room, he had a book in his hands. I was reclined on his couch feeding her. He set the book in his lap and wheeled himself forward when he saw her. "Well, what do you know! It's good to see you, Bella." They shook hands. "What brings you out here? Everything okay with Charlie?" Bella said "Yes, absolutely. I just wanted to see Jacob I haven't seen him in forever." Jacob's eyes brightened at her words. He was smiling so big it looked like it would hurt his cheeks. Billy said "Can you stay for dinner? Em is making tacos." Bella still hasn't looked at me yet as she said "No, I've got to feed Charlie, you know." Billy said "I'll call him now, He's always invited and he'd love to see his granddaughter." she laughed "It's not like you'll never see me again. I promise I'll be back again soon so much you'll get sick of me." Billy chuckled in response. "Okay, maybe next time." Jacob said, " So, Bella, what do you want to do?" Bella said, "Actually, Emery can we talk?"

I stood up with them fully fed and said "Actually I have to change and put my child down for a nap, how about next year?" Billy said, "I can do that." I said, "But..." Billy said "She will be fine, go talk to your sister. Hear her out." I glared at him as he took her into the spare room I sometimes sleep in. I rolled my eyes but followed her to the porch. She said "Look, I'm sorry for how I acted when he left me. I'm sorry, I wasn't there when she was born, I should have been there when you needed me. Can you ever forgive me?" I said "I don't know, I tried to be there for you but... there was only so much I could take. I never liked him to begin with and you just became nothing when he left so I don't know." I stormed back inside and Billy handed me the baby monitor to show me the sleeping baby in the bassinet. I said "Why?" he said, "Because you can't avoid your sister forever." I said, "I can try." Jacob went outside with Bella and Billy said "Can you forgive her?" I said, "Probably not." I began making dinner for us. He realized I didn't want to talk about it so he stopped pressing me and instead went to watch the baby sleep.

I think I failed to mention the reason I am at the Black's residence all the time is that I need help and Charlie is always working. Bella spent every day hanging out with Jake building motorcycles that they are hiding from Charlie, they think Billy doesn't know but I told him when Embry told me. She is 18 so there is no point in telling him. Harry and Billy went to Charlie's for the day, Billy said "Hey Em, can you drop this off at Sam Uley's house?" I said, "Uh, sure." I took the envelope and put the baby in the stroller covered her with blankets, and headed out. Once I got to the house I knocked on the door, and I heard Emily Young's voice call out "Come in!" I opened the door and said, "Emily what would you do if I was an axe murderer?" I crossed my arms to stare at her, and she froze "Emery Swan?" I smirked "In the flesh." she squealed and ran to me hugging me tightly. Sam busted in the back door due to her scream, everyone but me froze when Hadyn started to scream, all the noise scared her awake. Their eyes flitted to the stroller, I pulled away from Emily and picked her up rocking her, Emily said "Who's that?" 

I said "You missed a lot Emily, this is my daughter Hadyn. I removed the blanket to reveal her face, I had her in December." Sam said "Your Cheif Swan's other daughter?" I said, "Yeah, the one you didn't have to carry out of the woods like a dumbass over a stupid little bitch boy." Sam said, "I take it you don't like your sister's ex?" I said "Please if I had it my way he'd be 6 feet under. Uh, Sam Billy asked me to give this to you." I handed him the envelope. He opened it and read the contents while Emily said "Can you stay?" I said "Maybe some other time Emily, I just want a nap and she needs one." she said, "Well don't be a stranger." I smiled "I won't, I promise." I gave her one last hug before taking my baby home and laying down with her.
