This is my first story so please tell me anything that can help me improve it. Plus any mistakes for me to correct.
Chapter one:
Leah POV
Positive. I stared down at the test. Positive the word repeating itself in my mind. The little pink plus sign glaring back at me. I stared in disbelief. It was not possible; I was not pregnant.
"Leah sweetie it's been five minutes you can look now." Doctor Cullen tells me through the door. I'm too shocked to answer. I can't be pregnant I thought I'd lost the ability when I shifted into a wolf. I stand there with the test in my hand staring at the plus sign for another five minutes before there is a knock on the door.
"Leah let me in" Esmee his wife tries. I finally open the door. They both look at me expectedly, but I was still in too much shock to answer so I held up the test for them to see instead.
"How?" I ask as they stare at me shocked; this was supposed to be to rule it out not find the cause of my sickness. I was not supposed to be pregnant. "I don't understand... I haven't been with anyone since Sam, but that was too long ago." The test has to be wrong.
"When you started phasing your age froze... perhaps the baby did as well. You only started getting sick now that you stopped." Dr. Cullen mused. "Why don't we do an ultrasound to make sure everything's okay. Why don't you go lie down on that table while I get everything set up.
Lying down I stared wondering how I was going to raise a baby and better yet how was I going to tell it's father who was now engaged to my cousin Emily. Cold goo on my stomach brought me back out of my thoughts. I watched as Carlisle moved a wand gently over my stomach in strokes. "Aww there's the little one." He said pointing to a screen I hadn't noticed was there. I only saw a small blimp, but it was my blimp, my baby. I stared entranced at the screen.
"I can print out a picture if you would like?" Carlisle said chuckling softly at my wonderstruck expression. Nodding once as he finished up. "Here you go, and feel free to come back with any questions or concerns." He states while handing me the picture.
"Thank you" I say smiling. I placed a hand on my stomach in happiness. I thought I couldn't have a baby so even if the situation with the father wasn't ideal this baby was my miracle.
When I pulled up in my driveway I once again contemplated how I was going to share the news. How would I tell Sam? I couldn't very well say oh yeah remember how before you dumped me for my cousin almost a year ago we slept together. Yeah so I'm pregnant. Ta da! Apparently when I started shifting I wasn't the only one that was frozen. Nope there just wasn't a good way to say it. As I walked inside I was thankful that my mom and Seth were both out; I didn't really think I could share the news yet.
I stood in front of my mirror with my shirt rolled up exposing my stomach. I didn't have a baby bump yet as I wasn't that far along. Two months I think. One before I phased and another after I stopped. Excitement coursed through me then. I was so broken and alone after Sam, but with this baby I would have a family. This baby was my hope in all the depression I'd had since.
"Lee..." Seth said as he burst into the room with Jacob. "Why are you staring at your stomach?" He asked staring at me funny. Shit he wasn't supposed to be home right now. "Did Carlisle find out what's wrong?" Crap. I was going to have to tell him. I wasn't ready.
"Yeah...I'm ...I'm um... I'm ...pregnant." I awkwardly answered. The boys stared at me in shock.
"What! Who the hell is the father I'm gonna kill him." Jacob growled.
"Funny story, you see since I haven't actually been with anyone since Sam, so that's a good question." Sitting down on my bed I continued "Carlisle thinks when I started phasing the baby froze in growth just like my age did. Now that I've stopped apparently we've both continued." I finished.
"So you're pregnant with Sam Uley's baby." Seth stated. Nodding once at him in answer.
"Shit Lee only your life could get this messed up." Jacob stated. "So uh, how are you planning on telling him and Emily?"
"I don't know." I mumbled.
After my talk with Jacob yesterday I texted Sam asking if we could meet up today to talk. I needed to tell him before my brother or Jacob's thoughts were shared and someone else told him. Right now I was waiting for him at our old meet up spot on the cliff. The one with our names carved into a tree nearby.
"Hey Leah, listen Em and I are going out to lunch today so I know you wanted to talk but could you make it quick." I jumped at the sound of his voice, without my wolf hearing to alert me of his presence.
"Sit down Sam it's really important." I said gesturing to the grass beside me. Taking a deep breath I looked at the water in front of me trying to figure out where to start. "Can you listen to the full story before you say anything?" I asked
"Yeah. Lee what's the matter you look nervous."He said watching me curiously.
"I'm two months pregnant..." I started
"What!" He said cutting me off.
"That's the thing Sam I haven't been with anyone but you. Carlisle thinks it's..."
"Obviously you've been with someone else Leah. We broke up a year ago" He said angrily cutting me off again.
"Would you just shut up, you agreed to not talk until I was finished. I'm trying to say that Carlisle thinks that when I started phasing and stopped aging with it, so did the baby. I stopped shifting a month ago and a month after we broke up was when I started. That's two months put together. That is exactly how far along I am too. He thinks that when I stopped shifting and started aging the baby did too. So the baby is in fact yours Sam" I said in a rush to not have him cut me off again. He stayed silent staring at me for a moment before his face grew angry.
"You expect me to believe this bullshit. God, Emily was right you're still pinning after me and now you're stooping low enough to try and pin this pregnancy on me so you can win me back. You disgust me Leah, I thought you were better than that, but I was wrong."He screamed out angrily at me as he got up and began to walk away.
"God Sam, get over yourself It's been a year do you honestly think I still care about you, that I'm still in love with you after what you did. Ugh, I'm telling you so you can be part of your son or daughters life." I screamed back after him. So the part about me being over him was slightly a lie but I didn't want him back. I just wanted him to man up for the baby's sake. To be in the baby's life.
"If it is really mine than spare us both the trouble and get an abortion." He called back over his shoulder then phased shredding his clothes and ran.
I sat down in shock over his words. Cradling my stomach , my little miracle. No I could never kill my baby. Tears began streaming down my eyes. I hadn't expected him to be overly happy about the fact that his ex-girlfriend is pregnant with his baby. But for him to want to kill it. I sank down and curled up in a ball and cried. I'd just have to raise the baby on my own.
