Storming Sky

RACHEL

Edward and Bella were coming home today. Everyone was on edge, but they wouldn't tell me what was wrong. Dad had tried to get me out of the house for a little while, but Jake was at a Tribal Council meeting and no one else was around. Emmett and Rose were trying to keep me busy, but it didn't stop my mind from racing. At the moment, we were watching a movie that he had found on Netflix.

"Is Bella sick?" I asked, seeing Dad come back from his shift at the hospital with bags full of supplies.

"Not for long, munchkin," he nudged me. I sighed. It wasn't lie anyone was going to tell me anything anyways.

"They're here," I heard Rosalie say as she rushed to the door. Dad came down the stairs and took a quick look at me. He was distracted.

"Why don't you give Bella some space, love," Dad suggested, motioning to my room upstairs. I rolled my eyes. Everyone else can hover, but I have to give her space. I picked up my laptop and headed back upstairs. Dad squeezed my shoulder when I passed him.

I texted Jake when I got to my room. I miss you xoxo. He responded back with a kiss emoji. Miss u 2. Bored af. Wanna grab dinner 2night? I shrugged. If they didn't want me around then they wouldn't get me around. Sure. I'll sneak out ;). I knew I wouldn't be able to sneak out the front stairs so I snuck out of my room and into Edward's where the porch was. When Bella came around, he had Jasper and Emmett build stairs to the yard. It would have been a perfect getaway, except I heard shouting as soon as I opened the door.

"It is her choice Edward!" Rosalie yelled. I didn't dare move from where I was. Sooner or later they would know I was listening.

"Look at her! Do you really think something like this won't kill her?" Edward screamed back.

"Back off, Edward, it's not her fault!" Bella chimed in. I couldn't see her, but it was nice to hear her voice. She didn't sound as sick as everyone made her seem.

"All of you enough!" Dad finally called. "Danielle, go back to your room," he said. My eyes widened. I shook my head and came downstairs.

"Holy shit, you're pregnant," I said without thinking. Bella smiled. Edward growled. I grimaced. She was really pregnant and she had only been gone for a few weeks.

"Danielle, do not make me ask you again," Dad asserted.

"I'm going out," I decided. "When you all want to bring me in the loop and make me a part of this family again, let me know. Congratulations, Bella," I gave her a soft smile before walking right out the front door. I heard them protest behind me, but no one stopped me. They had bigger things to worry about.

I rode my bike to the line. It was a lot easier than waiting for a ride or hitchhiking. It helped me blow of some steam, too. I wasn't exactly pissed at my family for not telling me Bella was pregnant, but I wasn't thrilled either. I wasn't a child and I didn't need them to make these kinds of decisions for me. I knew I'd get hell for it later, but I couldn't just stay in my room all day while they pretended I didn't exist.

It was a little over an hour bike ride from my house to Jacob's. I knew their house would be empty since Billy was also on the Tribal Council. I knew a little bit of what responsibilities the pack, particularly Jake and Sam had, but other than that I didn't know. There was a lot about Quileute life that I didn't know. I knew that a lot of the time, they didn't marry outside of the Reservation. Until me, even all of the imprints were from the Reservation, or at least another tribe in the area. Jared and Kim went to school together, Emily was visiting her grandparents on the Reservation when she met Sam, and Claire was visiting Emily when she met Quill. I didn't think much about it, but it was a little strange.
