A/N: Hi, everyone! So, I got a new iPod last week, and I'm so happy about it. I'm finally able to fit my entire iTunes library on it, which has about 2,000+ songs in it. I couldn't do that with my old iPods. LOL. Anyways, as I was playing around with my new iPod, I came across a song I hadn't listened to in a while and it gave me an idea for a story.

I don't plan for it to be very long. I was thinking maybe around five chapters, but I'm not certain yet. We'll just have to see how it goes. :)

Chapter 1

I stood outside of our bedroom door with my hand on the doorknob, willing myself to turn it and push it open.

I knew what I would find on the otherside. The room would be exactly the same as it was before he left us, minus my clothes and jewelry, and one of his best formal outfits. The bed would be unmade and the sheets would be wrinkled. A half empty water bottle would be sitting on his nightstand next to one of his watches on one side, and on the other, a picture of us on our wedding day. Tucked into the corner of the picture was a smaller one. My first ultrasound. He was so proud of that photo.

Thinking about those things made my eyes begin to water. I pulled my hand off of the doorknob as I blinked back the tears, and placed it on my swollen stomach. The knowledge that our daughter will never meet her father breaks my heart. With that last thought, my tears broke free and ran down my cheeks as I began to sob.

I'm not sure how long I was like that, but the next thing I knew, I was being swept up into a pair of very strong arms and being carried to the guest room. The room I have made my own since I lost my husband two months ago. In my moment of grief, I had forgotten that Sam Uley was here to help me clean up the house and sort through Jake's things to see what I'd like to keep or donate.

I met Sam through Jake after we first met when we were kids, and he quickly became a very close friend of mine as well. He's like the big brother I never had. I was very grateful for all of his support through these difficult times. I don't know what I would have done without him.

As Sam gently set me down on the bed, he sighed. "You still couldn't do it, huh?" he asked softly.

I shook my head. "No. I tried. I really did, but I just couldn't." I sniffled and wiped the tears from my face. "That room holds so many memories."

Sam let out a small snort and grinned at me. "I bet it does," he said teasingly.

I knew where his mind just went, and I cracked a smile. I elbowed him in the side as he chuckled, and replied, "Get your mind out of the gutter, Sam. Not all of the memories we made in there were about sex."

His smile slowly faded and he wrapped one of his big arms around me. "I know that. I was trying to lighten the mood a little. And by the looks of it, it worked."

I laughed softly. "Maybe a little bit."

"Good. Now that you're feeling better, let's get serious."

"Okay."

"Bella, your baby is going to be here in less than two months and you don't have anything set up for her yet, because you can't bring yourself to step into your old bedroom with the way it is right now. You're running out of time. That room has to be cleared out as soon as possible."

"I know that," I said with a sigh. "It's just so hard. Plus, I still have to clear out Jake's studio room. I have no idea what I'm going to do with all of his recording equipment and music."

"Do you have any trouble going into that room like you do with the bedroom?" Sam asked curiously.

I shook my head. "No. I never really spent much time in there," I explained. "Why?"

"I have an idea that can help you."

"I'm listening."

"Why don't I call up some of the guys to come in and pack up the stuff in the bedroom for you, so you can go through the boxes later, while you and I go see what we can do with the studio?" Sam asked hopefully.

I thought about his idea for a few minutes and decided it was better than nothing. "Okay. Let's do it."

A/N: So that's the first chapter. Let me know what you think of it so far. I'd love to hear your thoughts. :)
