Wish for a Redo

Epilogue

3 Years Later…

Bella let out a breath as she got into the passenger seat of the car, staring ahead with a worried expression on her face. Her mind was racing and she was beginning to feel a bit flushed and lightheaded. Next to her in the driver's seat was Leah, the woman looking at her with a somewhat concerned expression on her face. In a soft voice she asked, "So?"

All Bella did in response was nod twice with a bite of her bottom lip. Leah lifted her eyebrows briefly before nodding herself. As she started the car, she gave the brunette a comforting pat on her leg before driving off headed towards La Push.

Jacob paced nervously on First Beach, Sam and Embry looking at him do so. After a few more paces Embry said, "Jake, just chill out for a bit. She's not late, you know."

"I know that," Jacob replied. "I'm just nervous, that's all. I've been waiting for this moment for years, and now that it's finally here I'm a nervous wreck."

Sam smirked in amusement before saying, "It's not like she's going to say 'no'."

Jacob gave Sam a deadpan look. "If I recall correctly, Leah said 'no'."

A flush went up Sam's neck to his face. "T-That's just because she wasn't ready after everything we went through and Emily going back to the Makah Res. She just wanted more time to think properly and establish our relationship. Besides, she eventually said 'yes'."

"Yeah, after making you wait four more months."

Embry rolled his eyes before saying, "Look Jake, Bella loves you and she is not only going to be surprised by your proposal but accept it; just watch."

Jacob took a deep breath and nodded before saying, "You're right, Em. I'm just getting myself worked up over nothing."

Sam rolled his eyes, knowing good and well it wasn't nothing. Proposing was a huge deal, and very nerve wrecking for the man. He himself had been completely nervous when he proposed to Leah and had been hurt when she shot his proposal down. But when she gave her reason as to why, he understood and waited a little longer before asking her again. And that time, Leah had accepted his proposal and they were due to marry in three months. They had both decided as well that once they were married, they would stop phasing, or at the very least Leah would if Sam was still needed in the Pack. But as of right now, they were both happy with their engagement. Jacob and Bella had been very supportive of their relationship and engagement and he was going to fully support Jacob in his possible engagement to Bella.

"Besides, Leah promised to make sure she wasn't late. She just said they had to run a few errands first," Embry added.

"That's right, so Leah will definitely make sure Bella is on time," Sam said.

Jacob smiled at the thought of Leah and Bella hanging out. In the beginning he never would have through the two girls would end up being friendly and then friends, even though he would tell his girl that Leah wasn't as bad as she came off to be. But seeing them together now, you never would have thought they hadn't liked one another at one point. They had really grown close over the past three years and now had girl time and girls nights out almost every week, Angela included who was currently dating Embry. He also knew Bella complained to Leah about him from time to time, though not very often. She didn't know it, but Bella was giving Leah a whole arsenal of stuff to use against him should she choose to.

Five minutes later they heard the sound of Leah's car approaching, alerting them to the young women's arrival. Jacob watched as the car came to a stop and the two girls got out of the car. He smiled at the sight of Bella, walking over to her to meet her halfway. Once he was in front of her he wrapped her up in a hug and greeted, "Hey honey, glad you could make it."

"Hi Jake," Bella replied quietly.

Jacob frowned slightly, hearing that Bella didn't particularly seem happy to see him. Looking down at her though, he could tell she was quite distracted with something. Wanting to pull her full attention to the moment, he gave her a sweet kiss before saying, "Come on, I have something for you."

Bella finally looked up at Jacob and said, "Jake, I have to tell you something."

"Okay, but I really want to give you this, so can it wait?"

"No, it can't," Leah cut in from next to Bella.

The seriousness in the female Shifter's voice caused alarm to rise a bit in Jacob. He looked between his girlfriend and Leah before settling his gaze on Bella. Looking into her eyes he asked, "What's the matter, Bella?"

Bella opened her mouth to answer, but quickly shut it. She bit her lip and seemed to be a bit jittery, almost as if she was trying to figure out what to say or do. Taking a quick breath she took hold of Jacob's hand and led him over to the old log that was their spot on First Beach. Sitting down, Bella looked in her lap and pushed her hair behind her ear before saying, "I have to tell you something very important. And…and I just want you to listen and don't speak until I'm finished."

"Okay…," Jacob said slowly, concern evident in his eyes.

"Well, I've noticed that…that my period hadn't come last month." She took notice of her boyfriend's rather uncomfortable face. "This is important to what I have to tell you, so just bear with me. Anyway, I figured I was just late, but then it didn't appear at all. I then figured I was probably stressed out a lot. As you know, my job has me dealing with a lot lately and can barely seem to function sometimes. But I was supposed to have had my period a few days ago, but I never bled. Not only that, but I found that I've been craving pickles, chocolate ice cream, and potatoes—mainly French fries. I've also been throwing up almost every morning and every time I smell meat cooking. I asked Leah to run an errand with me today because…because I wanted to take a pregnancy test. We stopped by the drug store and got one, and I tried it out in the bathroom. I took three more just to be sure."

Bella reached into her coat pocket and pulled out a plastic bag with four white sticks with pink caps. She handed the bag to Jacob for him to look at. On each stick's screen was showing two pink lines on it. As he stared at the tests Bella continued speaking.

"After taking those, I got Leah to take me to the hospital to confirm what the tests showed. They took a urine sample and did a blood test and the results came back positive. They even gave me an ultrasound to be completely sure." She pulled out a picture of an ultrasound from her coat pocket and handed it to Jacob. In the black and white picture, it showed what appeared to be at best a little head and body. Jacob's eyes widened in shock before they looked up into chocolate brown ones. Bella gave him a small, unsure smile with tears standing in her eyes. In a whisper she told him, "I'm pregnant, Jake. We're going to have a baby."

Silence flowed between them as Jacob stared at the brunette stunned, not knowing what to say. As far as feeling anything, he could definitely say he was feeling overwhelmed at the moment with the news given to him. Bella, taking Jacob's prolonged silence the wrong way, let her small smile slip from her face and tears fall down her cheeks. Swallowing the lump in her throat she pleaded softly, "Please don't be angry."

Snapping out of his stunned trance, Jacob wrapped his strong arms around Bella's petite body and hugged her, holding her close with her head buried in his shoulder. In a soft tone he replied, "I'm not angry, Bella. I could never be angry about this. Believe it or not, I'm actually really happy; my shock just hasn't completely worn off yet. We're going to have a baby, Bells. We're going to have a kid of our own."

"But don't you think we're too young? I mean, your only nineteen and I'm twenty-one. I still live with Charlie, for Pete's sake. And…and we'd be having this baby out of wedlock."

Jacob pulled away from Bella slightly with a smile on his face. "Well, I actually asked you out here at this time to ask you something just as important, especially concerning the whole wedlock thing."

Reaching into his pocket, Jacob pulled out a gold ring decorated with embroidered vines and little pink flower, a small diamond in the center of each flower. Gasping at the sight of it, Bella breathed out, "Jake."

"This ring is very special to me because it is my mother's ring. Dad said that she told him to give it to me, and only to do that when it was apparent, I was with the girl I was going to love forever and ever. I already knew it was you that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, and dad finally gave me this ring a few months following our Imprinting. And I've held onto it for the right time to propose to you with it." Jacob slid off the log and got down on one knee, continuing to hold Sarah's ring up in one hand. Taking Bella's hand in his other one, he looked into those chocolate brown eyes that he loved so much before speaking again. "Bella, I've known ever since I was three that you were the one I was meant to be with my whole life, and I've never loved anyone else but you. You are everything to me and you make my world brighter. You make me a better man than I think I could ever be on my own. I thought I had lost you once, but I'm so glad that you came back to me. I love you so much and I promise I won't ever let you go. And if you'll have me, I promise to always be true to you, see only you, and give you the best life possible within my power. You are my heart Bella, and I love you. Will you marry me, Bells?"

More tears had filled Bella's eyes at Jacob's honest proposal, her heart thumping loudly in her chest. He really truly wanted to marry her, to be with her forever. Yes, she already knew that but hearing it from the bottom of his heart was different. Of course, Jacob had done so a few years ago, but that had been due to his rivalry with Edward for her affections and her indecision about who she loved and what life she wanted to live. She had thought she had completely messed up any chance with Jacob before, but Maggie—who she missed everyday—gave her a chance to fix it all and it had been worth it in the end. Jacob was worth everything she went through in the past and she knew in her heart she wanted to marry and be with him forever. There was no one for her but Jacob, and she'd be stupid to refuse his proposal. Like Jacob had said about her, he was her heart—her entire heart. She wasn't complete without him and like he had always said, being with him was as easy as breathing. She loved him, she was in love with him, and she wanted to be with him forever. She wanted to marry Jacob.

Wiping her tears away, Bella nodded and answered with a happy laugh, "Yes, yes I'll marry you. I'll marry you, Jake."

Jacob grinned brightly and slipped the gold band on the brunette's finger before kissing her passionately, holding her close with his hand buried in her hair. Bella kissed him back just as passionately, her hands cradling his face. Clapping and cheering met their ears and they broke their kiss to see Embry, Leah, and Sam coming their way looking happy for them. Embry put his arms around them both and hugged them in congratulations.

"Congratulations, guys!" Embry said. "We told you she wouldn't say 'no', Jake."

"Yes, yes you did," Jacob replied, kissing Bella on her blushing pink cheek.

Sam smiled and them and said, "And I believe congratulations are in order for the other bit of news. Leah told us while Bella told you."

Bella smiled and thanked Sam before standing up from the log to hug him before hugging Leah. At the suggestion they celebrate the good news, Bella suggested they do so at hers and Charlie's house. She was sure Charlie wouldn't mind an impromptu get-together, especially for the news to her and Jacob being engaged and them having a baby. Leah and Sam left to go get some items and food for the celebration while Embry left to go spread the good news.

When they were gone and had left the newly engaged couple to themselves, Bella snuggled into Jacob's embrace, her head resting on his strong chest right over his heart. Sighing happily she whispered, "I'm so happy. The best thing I ever did was reevaluating myself and choosing you"

Jacob kissed the top of her head and smiled. "And I'll always be thankful to your Maggie friend that gave you a chance to give us a chance."

Bella had told Jacob about Maggie a year after dating, already prepared for him to think her crazy. Instead, Jacob had just smiled and told her he believed her that her conscience came to life and allowed her to start over, properly guiding her on the right path that Bella hadn't allowed the first time around. Also, he reasoned that only Bella or a part of her would be able to drop her mental shield to allow their intended Imprint to happen.

"Besides, if vampires and werewolves exist in our world, it wouldn't surprised me if our consciences could take on physical forms by this point," Jacob had told her, causing Bella to smile and feel relief from him believing her.

Smiling, Bella nodded in agreement. If it hadn't been for Maggie, they wouldn't be where they were right now. She wanted to honor her conscience and the sacrifice she made, but she wasn't sure how at the moment. She decided she'd worry about it later. For right now, she wanted to enjoy her new engagement and look forward to their future wedding.

Seven Months Later…

Leah and Bella were sitting in the Uley household, looking through Sam and Leah's wedding photos. Bella smiled as she looked at the photos, loving how happy both Sam and Leah looked in their photos. Their wedding had been simple, taking place on the cliff that the Pack went cliff-diving off of. Leah's dress had been a simple white dress that stopped just at her shins and had spaghetti straps, and in her hair she wore a white headband adorned with flower. Sam had worn a pair of champagne colored slacks and a white button up; neither of them wore shoes. When their wedding had been officiated, they had said their vows, exchanged rings, and had kissed to seal the deal, Sam and Leah had jumped off the cliff into the ocean water. It had been a great day and Bella had never seen the two so happy.

"Look, here's a picture of you and Sam coming out of the water," Bella said passing the picture to Leah.

Leah looked at the picture and laughed before saying, "Oh my God, I still can't believe we actually did that. Who jumps off a cliff at their wedding?"

"You two do, apparently."

Nudging Bella Leah smiled at a picture of her and Sam having their first dance on First Beach, chuckling even more at seeing Paul punch Quil in the background. A knock on the door drew their attention and Leah called out for the person to come in. The door opened and Angela stepped inside followed by Embry. Waving at them Angela said, "Hi."

Embry waved as well and said, "Hey guys. What are you doing?"

"Looking at wedding photos," Bella replied.

Angela sat down at the table to join them, smiling at the happy pictures. Embry asked Leah where Sam was, Leah telling him he was in the backyard with Jacob. Sam had needed help with trying to fix Leah's engine and had requested Jacob's assistance. Embry nodded and gave Angela a kiss before heading for the backyard, Angela blushing as he did with a loving smile. Bella winked at her friend and said, "It won't be long before you two are engaged."

Leah hummed and said, "Sure, if Embry can get his shy butt in gear and get a ring and propose."

"Leave my Embry alone. He'll propose to me when he's ready," Angela told Leah with a smile.

Bella giggled at Leah's fake affronted expression, Leah pretending to clutch pearls as she said, "Well!"

The three women talked and laughed together, all the while looking through Leah's wedding photos and figuring out which ones she wanted to frame and put in the photo album. Bella stood up to head to the rest room, her stomach having been cramping for the past hour and her baby tumbling around restlessly inside of her. She and Jacob had decided to wait and see what gender their baby was going to be, but Bella had a feeling their child was going to be a girl, though Jacob bet it was a boy. She had taken no more than three steps when she felt what felt like a pop between her legs and she gasped as warm liquid traveled down her pants and onto the hardwood floor of Sam and Leah's house.

Angela's eyes widened at what had happened and she quickly stood up, rushing over to Bella saying, "We have to get you to the hospital."

Leah stood up and ran to the backdoor, throwing it open and yelling at the men that Bella's water had broken and baby Black was coming. Abandoning his work on Leah's car, Jacob quickly ran around the house to the front of it, meeting Bella and Angela on the front porch. He quickly took his fiancé and placed her in his car, Leah and Angela hopped in the back of his car as he started it and quickly pulled away from the Uley house. Jacob sped through La Push towards Forks, Sam and Embry following in Embry's car.

Bella hissed in pain as a contraction ripped through her stomach, doing as Angela said to take deep breaths to somewhat ease through it. The moment Jacob crossed over into Forks, Bella began to feel the urge to push. Becoming scared at that moment, Bella said, "Jake, Jake I think I'm going to have to push."

"What? Now?" Jacob asked as he turned a corner rather sharply.

"Yeah, kind of." Bella let out a cry of pain as another contraction hit and the urge to push came stronger. "Yes, now!"

"Jacob, pull over," Leah instructed. She could tell Bella wasn't going to make it to the hospital; this baby was coming now.

Jacob looked over at his fiancé and could tell she was barely keeping it together and that at any moment, she was going to push their baby out of her body. Quickly pulling into the nearest parking lot—the Forks Police Station—he put the car in park and quickly got out of the car. As he moved over to Bella's side, he got her out of the front seat and into the back with Angela as Leah had gotten out of the car and had run into the police station. She returned quickly with three towels from the station's shower room, four bottles of water, a pair of scissors, and Charlie.

Charlie ran over to the car to see his daughter in the backseat, sweating profusely as her friend tried to make her comfortable. Looking in he asked, "Are you alright, kiddo?"

"No," Bella panted out.

Her father was about to say something else, but a hand on his shoulder pulled him back. Turning he saw that it was Sam, Sam saying, "I think it's best if we stay back here."

Embry nodded in agreement before saying, "Unless you want to see your daughter push your grandchild out of her narrow lady bits."

Charlie winced at the young man's words before deciding it was wise to stand back, hearing Sam tell Embry he was just as bad a Quil sometimes with what he said. However, he did take the time to call the hospital on his cell phone, alerting them to what was happening. Jacob took one of the towels Leah had brought and placed it underneath Bella, taking another one to place over Bella's lap before slipping off her jeans and underwear. He looked underneath the towel for a moment before asking, "What am I looking for?"

Leah grabbed some hand sanitizer that Bella had left in Jacob's car and used some on her hands before answering, "The baby crowning. If you can see the top of its head in her birth canal, that means it's time for Bella to begin pushing."

Jacob nodded and looked under the towel again. He heard Bella whimper and noticed something coming towards him from between her legs. Realizing it was the baby's head beginning to crown, Jacob looked at Leah and said, "It's crowning."

"Alright, it's time." Leah moved Jacob out of the way and told Angela to make sure Bella was comfortable. Angela positioned the brunette to lean against her and got her as comfortable as possible. Once she was, Leah told Bella, "Okay Bella, when I say so I want you to begin pushing. Hold it for ten seconds before letting up, alright?"

Bella panted and nodded to Leah's instructions. It didn't surprise her that Leah had taken over, seeing as her mother Sue was a nurse. Chocolate brown eyes searched around briefly for her fiancé, finding that Jacob had moved to the front seat since Leah had pushed him out of the way. Through her pants of pain she called out, "Jake."

Jacob took hold of the hand Bella was beginning to outstretch and kissed it before saying, "Don't worry, honey; I'm here."

"Are you ready, Bella?" Leah asked. At Bella's nod she said, "Okay, push."

Bella bore down, pushing her baby out of her as Leah counted to ten. Once ten seconds were over, she leant back against Angela and panted harshly. She had felt the baby move down, but it wasn't out of her yet. Leah nodded and said, "Alright, the head is almost out. A few more pushes and the baby will be completely out. Let's do it again."

Twice more Leah instructed Bella to push, Bella boring down to push hers and Jacob's baby out of her. Giving one final push, Bella let out a loud scream before leaning heavily against Angela panting heavily. Just as her scream ended, the sound of a baby taking its first breaths and crying was heard. Looking down towards Leah, Bella could see her holding a tiny, naked, bloody baby in her arms. She couldn't believe it; her baby was finally here!

Tears filled Bella's eyes and slid down her face and she cried happily. She looked over to Jacob to see he too had tears in his eyes. He grinned at her and kissed her hand again before saying, "We're parents."

"Hey Jake, do you want to cut the cord?" Leah asked.

Jacob nodded and got out of the car, making his way over to his friend and taking the scissors she had taken from the police station. He carefully cut the umbilical cord before allowing Leah to wrap his baby, a girl, in the last towel. She was so beautiful and small, her little head already having dark hairs on it. He could tell that she had his and his mother's nose, and already knew she would have his smile. Smiling at Bella he said, "We have a little girl, Bells."

A daughter. They had a daughter. Bella smiled and allowed Angela to help her sit up in the backseat of the car before holding her arms out, wanting to hold her daughter. Jacob carefully passed their baby to her awaiting arms and Bella couldn't help but coo over her, gently shushing her from crying. Once she had stopped crying and was just whimpering, Bella said in awe, "She's perfect."

"Yes, she is," Jacob said.

The sound of a siren met their ears and they knew the ambulance was soon to arrive. Everyone else went to greet the ambulance, leaving Bella and Jacob in the car with their new baby. As he gently stroked her soft hair, Jacob told his fiancé, "I bet she's going to have your eyes."

Bella laughed and replied, "You're probably right. But what are we going to name her?"

"Well, I was thinking maybe Sarah. You know, after mom."

"I think that's a great idea, and Billy will be touched. It will be a great way to honor your mother."

"Thanks Bells. But what of a middle name? Any ideas?"

The brunette hummed in thought as she looked down at her little bundle of joy. Sarah Something Black…what name would be perfect to replace 'Something' with? Just as that thought crossed her mind, their daughter's eyes opened to look up at her mother for the first time. Her eyes were chocolate brown just like her mother's, but the eyes suddenly shone bright blue, almost ethereal. Bella gasped as she recognized the blue color—that was Maggie's eye color. Sarah blinked a few times before her eyes returned to chocolate brown.

Maggie…she'd name Sarah after Maggie! She'd honor her conscience by naming her daughter after her. And she wasn't sure if that was a sign or something, but she had a feeling Maggie was either Sarah's new conscience or was going to be watching out for her. Smiling at Jacob Bella answered, "Maggie. Sarah Maggie Black is her name."

Jacob smiled in return. "That's perfect."

And it was. Their entire lives were now perfect. They had gone through trials and tribulation, pain and heartbreak, and it had all been worth it. And if Maggie hadn't intervened when she had, this perfect present wouldn't exist. Bella was grateful to Maggie for granting her wish for a redo and opening her eyes. Now she had a real, true love with Jacob, they were happy, and now they had a beautiful baby. She didn't think her life could get better but being with Jacob proved to her that it could. And so long as she had her fiancé and best friend with her, she knew she'd be alright no matter what. And that was the way it was meant to be and was always going to be. Just her and Jacob, Jake and Bells. And now, Jake and Bells and Sarah Maggie.
