FORTY

Four hours.

It had been four hours since Bentleigh had left the Cullen's place and had gotten to Billy's. Nova and Emily tried to keeping Bentkeigh from letting her mind wander to the open minds of the packs. Keeping her distracted.

She wanted so badly to know what was going on within the packs. But the girls said that it would only stress the baby out. Bentleigh didn't want any of that happening right now. Billy tried to help the two but Renesmee wanted him to tell her stories about Jake's mother, Sarah, and what she was like before she died.

Listening to Billy talk about Sarah, trlling stories abiut the kind woman, calmed Bentleigh more than the anything the girls did for her. As she sat there listening to the different stories Billy was telling, she could pinpoint things she could see in Jacob that he had gotten from the woman. He was sweet and caring and had always looked out for his own even if that meant he had to pay the consequences after. Sarah was like that but with Jake it was more intense and getting him in trouble often.

Bentleigh even laughed lightly at one story where Nova had been staying their house for some time and Sarah caught Nova with the wicker basket she kept her makeup in as she was giving Jake a "makeover". For proof, Billy showed them all a picture of the two. They were both looking up at whoever was behind the camera, Jake looked like he was going to cry while Nova smiled a wide toothy grin. This caused everyone to laugh as the front door was opened.

All of their heads turned toward the front door seeing Jacob. Bentleigh quickly hid the second heartbeat coming from her body, hiding it from whoever else could potentially hear it. The four girls stood to their feet, going over and hugging him tightly. As they did the taller girls could see everyone else over Jake's shoulders. The younger Call sibling let go of Jacob running over to Seth, throwing herself into his open arms. He spun them around before letting her feet touch the ground once more and kissing her. When he pulled away he had tears in his eyes as he kissed the top of her head.

"Come on, let's go home." He says wrapping an arm around her shoulders pulling her into his side, walking to Sam's truck with the rest of the pack.

"Good idea." Paul and Quil say in unison.

"That's a great idea," Bentleigh agreed with a nod hopping in the bed of the truck. "You guys going to go see the girls?"

"Yes." Jared and Paul say.

"I have to wait until tomorrow, but yes." Quil nods his head.

Bentleigh nodded her head at their comments. Everyone but Leah, Jake, and Renesmee had climbed into the back of Sam's truck, leaving the Billy's house. Bentleigh sat there curled into Seth's side with Sam driving, stopping at everyone's houses to drop them off.

Stopping at the Call/Clearwater household, last the four of them jumped out of the bed of Sam's truck. Bentleigh walked over to Emily's window making the woman roll it down looking at her as Nova walked over to Bentleigh's side. They both gave Bentleigh questioning expressions and she nods. They smiled at her, Nova walking off and into the house. Bentleigh turned her attention to Sam and gave him a smile.

"Thanks for the ride home, Sammy, see you later." She left the truck only to hear one of its doors open.

Turning, Bentleigh could see Emily hanging out of the door. Before the woman could say anything Bentleigh nodded. Emily's smile grew even wider as she squealed in excitement. "You can tell him. But only Sam."

Emily got out of the truck, running over to Bentleigh, giving her a tight hug and a small 'good luck' before hurrying back over to the truck. As Sam and Emily drove backed out of her driveway, Bentleigh finally walked into her house letting iut a sigh.
