Rainey's POV

It had been almost a year since I married Embry. Things were going great so far. I was going to school in Port Angeles for Culinary and Embry was working at the garage with Quil and Paul.

Claire was starting preschool in a few weeks, and we were all excited for her. But I think Quil was even more excited that Claire was. He had already picked out about three different back packs and I don't know how many lunch boxes that he said " Claire would just love". I swear he was having more fun than she was.

Rachel had come home shortly after the wedding to see Billy, Jacob and I. She and I went for a run on the beach and as usual, Embry joined us soon after, but for whatever reason, Paul decided to come along this time, and imprinted on Rachel. Needless to say Jake and Billy were not thrilled. Paul doesn't exactly have the most stable werewolf award on his mantle. But surprisingly, he has become a lot more controlled since Rachel came along. Ahh the wonders of imprinting.

Katie moved to La Push about three months ago, after realizing that she couldn't live without Seth. He had won the award for most eventful imprint. We heard the whole story when we got back from our honeymoon. Apparently Seth was out picking up the flowers for the wedding when they fell on the floor of the car, when he bent down top pick them up he ran right into Katie. He was already coming to a stop at a stop sign so he didn't hit her very hard, but enough to knock her off her feet.

So Seth goes running out around the front of the car to see what kind of animal he hit, and found Katie there, dazed and confused and wondering what the hell just happened. He saw her and that was all it took. They realized that they were both heading to the same place, and her car broke down about a mile down the road, so he gave her a ride to La Push. It was great having my best friend around, and she fit in really well with the rest of the wolf girls.

Things were going great with the pack. There hadn't been any vampires in the area since the whole Nessie blowout, and we were all getting pretty used to the peacefulness that surrounded us. Jacob was still staying at Billy's house, but he was at the Cullen's so often that he only came home to change clothes and see the pack. Things had gone back to normal between him and Sam too. Jake was still the alpha of his pack though. I guess that's not something you can reverse. Embry decided to join his pack shortly after the split. It was hard on everyone, but Sam understood that it was nothing against him and allowed Embry to go over with Jacob.

Sam and Emily just had their first baby, a little boy they named Samuel Jr., or Sammy as the pack called him. He was the spitting image of Sam, and we were already wrapped around his little finger. The girls were instantly drafted as babysitters and the guys all backed off, knowing that once one of us had a baby, it wouldn't be long for the rest of us to want one...well except for Claire.

Yep things at La Push had definitely been good. For the time being at least....

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The girls and I were all over at Emily's cooing over Sammy while the boys ran patrol. It was nice having just girl time with my friends. We were all in the kitchen, with about ten different plates of food spread out around us.

If culinary school was teaching me one thing it was that I had to practice. A lot. And the pack were always willing to help taste test.

"MMMMM! This one is my favorite." Kim moaned, gesturing to the plate with her fork while she wiped her mouth off with a napkin.

" I like the fish!" Emily added, while bouncing the baby on her knee.

"The chicken is my pick." Katie said, reaching for more.

"What are you going to make for Embry?" Kim asked as she dug into the pasta dish in front of her.

"He's eating the leftovers tonight." I said, stirring a pot full of rice on the stove.

"No, I meant for your anniversary. Did you get him anything special?" I froze. It was not our anniversary already. Was it?

"What day is today?" I asked, not turning around so they couldn't see my panicked face.

"The 13th" Emily said while grabbing a bottle for the baby out of the fridge.

"Shit Shit Shit!" I swore as I ran across the kitchen and darted to the calendar.

"Oh No." I moaned as I quickly did the math in my head.

"What's wrong?" Katie asked coming up along side of me and staring at the calendar like it was going to tell her what the problem was.

"I'm late!" I said blankly. It was probably just a fluke. I mean I was on the pill. I couldn't get pregnant on the pill. Right?

"No, you've still got ten days till your anniversary. It's cool babe. Don't worry." Katie said as she patten me on the head and went back to her food.

"No Katie. I. Am. Late." I said turning around and speaking slowly so she understood what I was saying.

"Huh? Oh. OH!" She said as she finally figured out what was wrong.

"Yeah. Oh." I glared at her. She really picked the wrong time to ditz out on me.

"Ok so don't freak. You look like an idiot when you freak." I rolled my eyes. I was really ready to strangle her.

"We'll just run to the drug store and get a test. You pee on the stick, we find out if you're freaking is in vain, and life goes on." She said nodding and grabbing her coat and keys before dragging Kim and Me out of the door.

"Hey my pasta!" Kim called as we dragged her out into the rain.

"It will be there when you get back." I told her as I hopped into the passenger side of Katie's white Pacifica and slammed the door. She peeled out of the driveway spraying gravel everywhere and headed down the road to the CVS.

"Oh God. Oh God. Oh God." I chanted as we sped down the road. I can't be pregnant. I just started school. Embry is doing so well at the garage. I finally got the house decorated how I wanted it.

I felt Kim reach up from her seat behind me and start to rub my temples on the side of my head.

"What the hell are you doing Kim?" I asked, swatting her hands away.

"Just trying to calm you down. All this stress isn't good for the baby." She said matter of factly. I was surrounded by idiots.

Before I could even form a response we pulled into the parking lot and got out of the car. We headed straight for the feminine product aisle and stopped dead in our tracks.

"There's so many." Kim whispered beside me like we were in a damn library or something.

"I can see that." I whispered right back. Why didn't we bring Emily along? She already went through all of this stuff.

Katie had remembered to grab a basket on our way in and was busy filling it with one of every kind of test there was.

"What?" She asked when she looked up at the two of us.

"Why do we need 15 different tests?" I asked.

"To make sure that we cover all of the bases."

I just shook my head and followed her to the registers. The cashier was thankfully a pimple faced kid who looked like he had never seen a pregnancy test in his life and was scared to even touch it. Needless to say we were out of there very quickly.

We were back in the car and on our way back to my house when Katie did a Super-imprint-Ninja move and cracked a U-ey right in the middle of oncoming traffic, almost causing a 12 car pileup right there in the middle of La Push. It would have made headlines.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" I screamed at her.

"I forgot a vital detail, we've gotta go back to the store." She said as she pulled into the CVS again and jumped out of the car before Kim or I could react.

"Are you ok?" I asked Kim. She was clutching her chest and gripping the "Oh-Shit-Bar" like her life depended on it.

"Yeah. Next time I drive." She panted.

Katie was back by then and opened the back of the truck and threw in a case of pop and 3 gallons of Sunny D.

"What is all of that for?" I asked her as she got back in the car.

"We bought 15 pregnancy tests Rainey. Where the hell do you think all that pee is gonna come from?" She said like it was the dumbest thing to ever come out of my mouth.

"OK." I said, facing the windshield again. It was gonna be a long day.
