Chapter 1 - Over It

I found myself starring at the road with a sort of longing. I was warned about phasing while pregnant. Carlisle said it could harm Kera and I. I smiled at the thought of my little girl. My baby. My little wolf. The Elders said she'd be able to phase as soon as she could crawl and since she was growing so quickly, that would be very soon.

I remembered the day almost everyone in La Push gathered at my house. Jacob and I had to announce that I was pregnant. The Elders were not happy at first. I was not Jacob's imprint and he wasn't mine, but Kera would have the wolf gene and that was the only thing that made them allow this. I remembered Sam's face. Paul's, Jared's, Quil's, Embry's, everyone's face. They didn't know what to think of it.

"Leah, please tell me this is some sort of a joke." Sam said.

I shook my head at him. "I'm really pregnant."

Sam's eyes suddenly became dark and he didn't say anything the rest of the night. Emily was rubbing his arm and smiling at me.

Paul got this disgusted look on his face. His eyes were staring at my stomach. "So you're going to have a balloon sticking out of you soon? Something's growing inside you?" he asked.

"I just hope we don't see anything while we're phased. I might puke," Embry said.

Quil shook his head. "A kid? Man, Jacob. With Leah?"

Seth was smiling and talking to my mom about my baby. How she'd be so cute. He's getting soft. I'm worried.

"Leah, Jacob," Billy said.

We both turned. Billy had tears in his eyes. "Congratulations. I wish you would have waited, but I'm still glad to know I'll be a grandfather."

I half smiled. Jacob looked uncomfortable as we all sat around the fire.

I didn't blame them, but the only was that was supportive was my mom, Billy, and Seth. No one knew whether to be worried or excited. I was only 17. But I knew I could take care of my little wolf. I had to.

"Leah, are you okay?" my mom said, breaking my train of thought.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Where's Jacob? Wasn't he supposed to come over?"

"Was he?" I gritted my teeth.

She stood beside me and grabbed my hand. "Seth told me about what happened."

"What happened?"

"Bella."

I sighed. "Oh, that. That was really nothing."

"Nothing! Hah!" She yelled. "Seth said Bella was starring at you like she hated you and then everyone started yelling and it broke out into a huge argument!"

"I know. That was my fault. I started it."

"Leah," my mom said and raised her eyebrows. "What's this? I thought you didn't like Bella. Why are you standing up for her?"

"I'm not standing up for her, exactly. I kind of understand it. She loves Jacob. Jacob loves her. I know what it feels like to have someone taken away from you. I mean, I am having Jacob's baby."

"And she's having Edward's." She squeezed my hand. "She has Edward. It was her choice. She can't have both."

"She does. They both wait on her."

"Why are you giving up on it? You love Jacob, Leah. And I know he loves you, too. Fight for him."

"Why? Why fight? I don't want to fight. I just want him to be Kera's father. I just want him to be there for her."

"You're giving up to easy. You're just showing Bella that she can have both without the problem of you getting in the way."

"I don't think it's easy having both of them love her like that. I'm sure it hurts her because it hurts them. And I know I'm giving up easy, but that's because I don't want any problems." She sighed. "Thanks for being here for me mom. I love you."

"I love you, too." She smiled. "Call Jacob."

I shook my head. "I have nothing to say."

"Tell him you love him."

"Why? He knows I do. What's that going to change?

"Just remind him. He'll come around." She hands me the phone and gives me a hug before going inside.

I stare at the phone a while before dialing Jacob's number. I count the rings. I was about to hang up when someone said," Hello?" It wasn't Jacob. Bella's voice reminded me of that day. I tried to stop thinking about it, but I couldn't.

I walked up to the Cullen house with Jacob. He told me it was alright to go there for my check up. I didn't want to! I was so terrified of seeing the Cullen's faces as they starred at me. Ugh. And Edward could read minds! That would be worse.

"Leah, calm down. No one's going to kill you."

"You never know. They might. Especially Bella! You said she wasn't happy about this."

"She'll live."

"Not for long."

He winced and tightened his grip on my arm.

"Sorry, Jake, I didn't mean to-"

"It's fine. You're right, anyway."

I pulled away. "I think I'll come tomorrow."

"Leah, don't be such a baby. You're a mother."

"Oh, god."

"What? It's true."

"No one's said it out loud, yet. Oh, god."

"Come on, Leah, you are being a baby."

"Shut up, Jake. I just don't want to lose my head."

"No one's going to attack you. I promise."

"Okay, but if someone does hurt me, it's going to be on your conscious that you broke your promise. Just like all those other promises, Jake."

"You're mean today."

"I'm pregnant. I'm aloud to be."

"Oh, just stop and come inside." He opened the door and pulled me in after prying my arms off the door.

I starred at all the Cullens. They were on the couches. Bella's frowned as she starred at me. I gulped.

"Calm down, Leah," Jacob whispered.

"Leah, no one's going to hurt you," the blond male said. Jasper maybe?

"You don't know that."

"I do," Alice said and smiled. "You're fine."

I cringed when I finally got a whiff of the house. It burned my nose. God, they stink.

Edward looked up at me. "You stink, too, dog."

"Watch it, bloodsucker," Jacob said. He was standing up for me.

Edward ignored him and looked back to Bella, who was eyeing me. It was irritating.

"What?" I yelled at her. Oops. That wasn't suppose to come out.

She flinched, but yelled back at me, "Nothing."

"Thought so," I muttered.

"Now, now," Carlisle said. "Enough."

"Control your girlfriend, dog," The blond female hissed to Jacob.

"Mind your own business, blondie," Jacob snapped back.

"Shut up, mutt," Emmett said.

"Enough!" Carlisle said.

Jacob and the blond ignored Carlisle. They started getting into an argument. They were right in each others faced. Oh, no. This wasn't good. Edward was yelling at them, while Jasper and Alice stood in the corner and just watched, unsure what to do. Emmett got in between Jacob and the blond.

Please don't die, Jacob. Please don't die, I chanted to myself. I was defenseless as I watched them. I looked back to Bella. If looks could kill ran through my mind…

"Look what you started," Bella said.

"Be quiet. Don't talk to me."

"I'll talk to you if I want to."

"You just think you're so bad. What? Because you're with the leeches? You're weak, Bella. You're going to die giving birth to that demon."

She screamed and tried to get up. Edward held her back. "No, Bella. You'll get hurt." She sat back and just sent me daggers.

"Mutt, you're going to be sorry you said that," Edward said to me. "Get out."

"Make me."

"It's our house. Get out."

"Enough! Enough!" Carlisle yelled. This was surprising. "Everyone leave the room except Jacob and Leah." He looked at Edward and Bella. "And Edward and Bella."

Everyone stopped, turned and ran out. The blond had to be convinced by Emmett. Alice and Jasper were the first ones out. Esme stayed. She sighed.

"Hello?" Bella asked. "Hello!"

I broke out of my trance.

"Hi, Bella. It's Leah."

"Oh, hey." I wondered why she had his phone, but then I decided I didn't really care. "Jacob," she called. "Here." She didn't sound that annoyed.

"Hello?" Jacob's voice made my heart jump. I could hear Edward in the background. "She's just calling to tell him something, Bella," he said. That annoyed me, but I tried to forget it.

"Hey, Jake."

"Leah? What's up?"

"Well, I just wanted to tell you something. I feel like I should."

"What is it?"

"I love you, Jacob." He didn't say anything. I counted to fifty. Still nothing. Then, I heard a sigh.

"You don't have to say it back, Jake. I just wanted to tell you."

"Well... Why now?"

"Because I felt like it."

"Are you okay? Is Kera okay?"

"We're fine. I can't say that without something being wrong?"

"No.. It's just.."

"Yeah. I know. I gotta go. Bye Jake."

"Bye?"

I hung up and looked back at the road. What did that change? I Just embarrassed myself. He didn't say it back this time. It started to rain, so I turned to go inside.

"Leah," someone shouted. I turned to see Jacob. He walked up to me. The rain picked up, so I pulled him onto the porch.

He smiled. "I'm not going to get sick."

"Right. Force of habit. Sorry."I let go of his arm.

"How'd you get here so fast?"

"I ran."

"Why?"

"Because your call made me worried." He looked away as he said it. "What's really going on?"

"Nothing. I wouldn't lie to you. Ever."

"I know. I also came because.. I know you want me to be here for Kera, but I just want you to know that I'll be here for you, too."

"I don't think I want that."

"What are you talking about?"

"I don't need you to be here for me. I don't want you to. I just want you to be a father."

"I know you do. I'm sorry, Leah."

"Don't be. I wouldn't change anything."

"I might want to change one thing."

"Kera?"

He laughed. "Of course not. I would like to change hurting you."

"Like I said. I wouldn't change anything. It happened. So what. Time to move on."

"So you've moved on?"

"I didn't say that."

"I know." He shook his hair off.

No way Jacob's here for just for me. He wouldn't leave Bella's side at a time like this. He'd want to spend as much time with her as he could. He'll only have a couple more days. I guess my mom was right. I gave up on him. But only because I knew I'd just be pulling him between me and Bella. I didn't need the stress.

"Jacob? Why are you here? Really?"

He stopped and looked up at me. "I told you."

"You didn't tell me everything."

"I figured you wouldn't want to know everything."

"I want to."

He sighed. "Edward... can hear it."

"Hear what?"

"Bella's.. baby. He can hear it."

"Really?" I shivered. "So that's why you left?"

"They began talking all loving and saying that that demon loved Bella." He groaned. "If it loved her so much, it wouldn't be sucking the life out of her."

"Sorry."

"Guess I deserve it."

"No one deserves pain, Jake."

"Some people... Some people do." He looked at the forest and then at the road.

"You gotta go," I whispered.

"I need to get back to Seth." He backed up into the rain.

"Love you, Jake."

He smiled before turning and running down the road. I watched him turn from man to wolf. I tried to turn away, but I couldn't. He then disappeared from sight and I saw another figure.

Emily stepped out from the side of the road with her umbrella. All I could see were her legs approaching. She dropped it on the porch and waved at me.

"Hello, Leah."

"Hey."

"I wanted to come over and see how you're doing. How much longer?"

I had gotten over what happened with Sam, Emily and I. Emily was so good to me. She deserved to be treated better. I had no grudges. I wanted to have a happy life with Kera. I wanted to show her how to forgive.

"2 weeks, maybe a month."

"Already? Wow." She hugged me. "I'm so happy for you."

"Thank you. I can't wait to see her."

"She'll be beautiful." She pulled away and reached into her bag. "Oh, I got this for her." She pulled out a necklace and put it into my hand. I examined it. It was beautiful. A red wooden wolf hung from it along with other charms.

(See Picture on Profile)

"Emily," I whispered. "It's beautiful. Thank you so much!" I hugged her, but still kept my eyes on the wolf. "It's a nice red. I wonder what fur color she'll have."

"I'm glad you like it. I was wondering about her color, too. Maybe brown like Jacob. Or grey, like you. Do you think she'll like it, though?""

"She'll love it."

She smiled. "I saw Jacob. Did he come see you?"

"Yeah. Just for a minute."

"I'm glad he's coming around. She'll need him around."

"She will."

I didn't let go of her and she didn't say anything. We just stood there on the porch and held each other. Tears streamed down my face. I wouldn't admit it to anyone, but Jacob leaving down the road was probably the saddest thing I've ever faced. Yeah, even sadder than seeing Sam and Emily.

"Leah, Emily, come inside," my mom whispered from behind us.

My mom pulled us inside and she hugged me. "He'll be back," she whispered.

"I know."
