THE CLEARWATER'S

CHAPTER 1

SAVANNAH P.O.V

After being married for a year, I realized that marriage was nothing like dating. When you're married, you expect the other person to just know that you want something done. That's not how it works. Being married is hard and you have to work at it everyday. I can't even go and hang out with friends without Seth questioning where I'm going.

But, I love being married! I get to wake up next to my best friend every single day. I get to roll over and feel heat radiating off his body and know that he's mine for the rest of my life. And my life is going to be a long one. Of course trying to be apart of a pack and working and trying to be a husband was hard for him but he did what he needed to do and he always made me happy.

"Hello, Love." He said to me when I came into the house.

"Hi." I said kissing him and he rested his hand on the small of my back. "We were invited to dinner at my parents tonight, if you would like to go."

"Oh, I already told Jacob yes." He said.

"Oh good." I said. "I got it." I said to him pulling the pregnancy test box out of the bag. We've been trying for a baby since we got married and sadly, we haven't gotten pregnant yet and we've tried everything.

"Please don't get your hopes up." He said holding my waist as we stood in the kitchen. We built a brand new house with the help of my Uncle's from the Cullen Family and also my Uncle's from the pack. I made sure we made the kitchen extra special. It had all granite counter tops and everything matched together.

"I'm not promising you anything." I said and he laughed a little.

"So I'll have to carrying you crying to your parents house and explain to them that I still haven't gotten you pregnant?" He asked and I nodded.

"That's the plan." I said before heading to the bathroom that was right off the kitchen. I sighed before I set the timer once I used the thing. I knew that there was a chance that it would come out negative and that I shouldn't get excited because I may not be pregnant. Once the timer went off I walked over to the sink and looked at the stick that only had one red line across it. Sadly, I needed two.

"I heard the timer go off, come out." He said. I slowly opened the door and handed him the negative pregnancy test. "Babe." He said sadly pulling me into a hug.

"I know that it wasn't going to be positive but it still kinda hurts, you know?" I asked and he nodded.

"If you were meant to be pregnant, you would be. We don't need kids right now, we just want them. Maybe we should travel or something before having kids. We've got like 18 years where we can have kids. There's no rush to have kids." He said. I nodded my head.

"I guess." I said. Even though I've taken so many tests that all came out saying the same thing, it still hurts not being able to carry my own child. I got to watch my mom carry four children as I grew up and I want to be able to do the same thing. I want to be able to give my parents their first grandchild. Ryder is right up our asses and already proposed to his girlfriend of only a year and they were planning to get married in a few months. Auntie Alice wasn't having that and she made them push the date back.

"What time would you like to head over to your parents?" He asked and I shrugged.

"What did they say?" I asked and he shook his head.

"They didn't."

"You know, they used to be better about these time things." I said laughing before picking up my phone and scrolling to my moms contact.

"Hi, Sweetheart." She said answering the phone and I automatically smiled.

"Hey, Mom. What time did you want us to come over for dinner?" I asked looking up at Seth who was still looking at the stick. He shook it a few times to see if anything would change and I rolled my eyes.

"Whenever. We didn't really have a set time. I made some dip and stuff, whenever you're ready just make you're way over here." She said. "By the way, Ryder and Lindsey will be there." I rolled my eyes again.

"Oh."

"And he said he has news for all of us."

"Oh okay, I'll leave here in a few minutes then." I said looking over at Seth who finally threw the stupid test out before going to get his shoes on.

"Okay, see you soon." She said.

"See you." I said before hanging up. "Ryder has news for us."

"What is he moving to New York or something?" He asked and I shrugged.

"Probably moved the date of the wedding again or something." I said. Ryder became a little devil a few years ago and he broke up with his girlfriend Caroline and he would go out all the time and he would sleep around with random people. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a kid out there somewhere.

"Or some kid showed up at his door claiming that Ryder was his father." Seth said and I laughed laughed louder than I should have.

"My dad will kill him." My parents kept telling him that there was no reason for him to be getting married at 19 but then he reminded them that I was 19 when I got married.

'But her and Seth are imprints.' My dad claimed every single time. I knew that if he got married, he wouldn't be married for long. I could see a few divorces in his lifetime.

"I'm sure they will be divorced in a few years." Seth answered as he locked the house.

"I mean, I agree." I laughed. I wondered what he was going to tell us but then I wondered, did I really want to know?

*FEW HOURS LATER*

Once we ate dinner, Finn found his way to my lap and he sat himself down as we ate some ice cream. He missed his mouth more than once and he hated being dirty so every time I had to wipe his face.

"Mumma make's good ice cream." He said and I looked confused.

"What? Mom didn't make this. She bought it at the store." I said and he shook his head. You could never disagree with him, he was always right.

"No! She made it herself!" He shouted and she scolded him for yelling.

"So, I have news." Oh jesus. Here it is. I wasn't even sure what to think. What was he going to say to us and why did he need to tell us at a family dinner? "Lindsey is pregnant." He said and my smile faded automatically before I dropped my spoon.

"What?" I asked and he nodded his head.

"She's 12 weeks." What?! Did he do this on purpose because I hadn't been able to get pregnant? Is he serious right now? I wanted to rip his throat out and shove it in his mouth. I got up and placed Finn in the seat that I was sitting in.

"Savannah..." My mom said following me to her bedroom.

"Seriously?! She's fucking pregnant! We've been trying for six months to have a baby! Six months! They haven't even been together for a year. I can't believe this. I have to leave." I said grabbing my coat and heading out the front door.

"Savannah!" Ryder yelled when I reached the car. "I'm sor-"

"No! Go fuck yourself!" I shouted. I shouldn't have been yelling that in front of Ash, Pey or Finn but I did anyway.

"What's going on?" Seth asked. He was sitting on the back deck with my dad when Ryder broke the news to us.

"She's pregnant! They're having a kid together." You should have seen the look on my father's face because I swear to god if he could, he would kill Ryder right now. "Get in the car." I said to Seth who obeyed and let me drive.

"Babe, you need to calm down." He said touching my hand and bringing his hand right back and rubbed it. When I got angry, my blood literally began to boil and no one could touch me. It was one of the perks of me being a weird ass half wolf thing.

"No! How could he do that to me! He knows that we've been trying!" I shouted. "I didn't mean to shout at you. You didn't do anything wrong." I said rubbing his arm. "God, they aren't even married which is worse. My dad is probably ripping him a new one." I laughed and he joined.

"We can call them later and find out what happened." He said. "We should have taken Ash, Pey and Finn with us." He said.

"I'm sure they're enjoying it." I laughed. I knew I would have enjoyed it because I'm so angry.

"Can you stop by my moms real quick?" He asked and I nodded pulling up to Grandpa Charlie's not long after.

"Hey, Kids. What's up?" He asked when we entered the same house he has lived in for almost forty years.

"Just came by to say hi." Seth answered. "We gotta tell you something. I wanna do it." Seth said turning to me and I motioned for him to continue. Charlie and Sue looked between us before looking at each other.

"So, Ryder dropped this bomb that his girlfriend and Jacob is over there ripping him a new one." Seth laughed and they both looked alarmed.

"She's pregnant?" Sue asked and I nodded. "I thought they were going to wait until you had a baby?" She asked and I shrugged.

"Ryder never does what he says he's gonna do." I answered. My parents raised us better than that so I wasn't sure what he was thinking. My parents raise us on being serious about everything but also letting us know that we could go to them for anything we needed. They gave us everything we ever wanted for one thing in return, to start our families after we were married. Clearly that only got through to my brain. "I always knew I was the better child."

"I always knew that too." Charlie said sipping on a beer and I laughed. "No I'm being serous. When you were a baby, you always went to bed when you were tired and you always listened. Then Ryder came along and you drove your mother up a wall. He never listened, he screamed through most of the night." He said and I laughed.

"I kinda remember that." I said. I remember having to take care of myself when I was around five because everyone else was sleeping because they didn't get much sleep. I didn't mind though, I got the T.V to myself. "At least the rest of us turned out good." I laughed.

"We just needed to watch him a little closer. We didn't do a good job." Seth said.

"We did perfectly fine. He just needs to be smacked. Dad took care of it." I answered shrugging. I wasn't going to let this bother me. I knew in the near future that I would be having a child of my own and if I didn't, we would try and try until we got pregnant. I wasn't going to let this ruin me. I had other things that I wanted to do before I became a mother, I should probably start up on those things.
