Chapter 2: Surprise, Surprise!
(Embry's p.o.v.)
I was asleep when I heard the knock on the door, the knock that would change my life forever…
I woke to the knock of the door padding down my hallway, rubbing sleep from my eyes and yawning, to my front door.
I knew before I answered it that it was my girlfriend, Leah, by the beautiful lilies and rain scent magnified by the actual rain.
"Come in Leah!" I said with a smile as I opened the door, worried that she was standing out in the rain getting more wet and cold by the second.
She had this scared worried but determined face, and honestly it scared the shit out of me. "Leas! What's wrong honey?" I asked as she trudged inside plopping down on my favorite leather chair.
I lifted her up sitting her on my lap, and holding her hand. "Baby what is it?" I asked getting more anxious as the seconds ticked by.
She took a deep shaky breath ,"Embry I don't exactly know how to say this, so I just will…"
I squeezed her hand tighter ,"Leah what is it? I can't help you if I don't know what the problem is."
Avoiding eye contact she took another deep breath, "I…" she sounded like she was choking on her words, "I'm… Embry I'm pregnant."
I sputtered, "Pregnant?!" She nodded and I beamed at her ,"Leah! That's great!" I'm gonna be a daddy! I am a daddy! Wow!
"Great Embry?" she asked pounding a fist against my shoulder in anger ",You think this is great? It's great you knocked me up? Oh, well la te fucking dah! Great for you! You do realize that when Seth finds out he will KILL you don't you?"
"Have you ever heard of gee, uh, maybe birth control?" I said back hotly. Two could play at the blame game.
"Yeah, Embry! Birth control!" yelled Leah sarcastically getting up, and crossing the room, "I'm still a wolf even if I don't phase! Taking birth control would be like taking orange freaking tic-tacks for a human!" Got me there!
"Embry!" whined Leah coming back over to me ",What is my family, the pack going to think about this? I'm already labeled a ho! What if I'm a terrible mother? I don't know how to be a mom!"
"Your worried about being a mom? What about me? I never even had a dad! I was raised by my mom! What if I'm a terrible dad!" I shouted.
"Exactly my point. Embry, neither of us are ready to be parents. We have our whole lives ahead of us," she whispered.
"So do you want to…" The words stuck in my throat. I hated to say it, hated to have to ask. I hated the thought, but I had to know, "get rid of it?"
"You mean an abortion? Hell no! I just…. I don't know what to do," said Leah, her voice which had started as a yell ended as a whisper.
"We could always give it up for adoption," I suggested sitting beside her on the couch where she had just taken a seat.
"Out of the question too," she replied shaking her head ",And besides it would phase. I mean he or she's gonna be full blooded wolf."
"Yeah," I said nodding in agreement. I didn't like the idea of adoption anymore than she did. Honestly, I don't know why I suggested it. No that's a lie, I suggested it because I would do anything to make Leah happy.
Leah opened her mouth, about to say something, but I stopped her ",Leah marry me!"
"What?" she asked, definitely not expecting that one.
"I said marry me!" I told her, my blood roaring in my ears, my heart pounding against my rib cage as if it would burst.
"Embry I can't!" she said the a tear solitary sliding slowly down her face, making a trail from her mascara ",I love you, I do but if you imprint I don't think my heart can take being broken again. I can't take it, and neither can this baby. I think it would be best… I think it would be best if I just left La Push like I said I would five years ago. This time, this time I'm gonna stay gone. You know four years ago you're the reason I came back."
"Leah! I love you! I would fight the imprint or die trying! I would do anything for you. You are my everything!" I insisted ",And I'm trying not to be selfish, but I would be broken if you left."
"Embry, don't take this the wrong way, but if you could fight an imprint then I would be married to Sam, and right now I would be having his kid," she whispered to me.
"Leah Clearwater! I'll admit that hurt, but if you won't do this for me or even four yourself do this for the baby," I begged ,"I don't want our child to be a bastard like me. Mother: Leah Clearwater. Father: Unknown. Please be my wife!"
"I already said I can't, but we could always move in together," she said breathed hopefully lying her head on my shoulder.
"Of course, Leah honey, anything for you," I uttered kissing her soft hair ",I would love for us to live together."
I picked her up, kissing her, and carrying her upstairs to my bedroom. And that night we slept together, in the literal sense. It was the best sleep of my life.
