Ch 6

The following morning Kerrie went to yoga and was surprised to see Kim at the class.

"Come on over here." Kim said waving Kerrie over, Kim introduced Kerrie to the instructor. "I'm usually here by myself, this is nice." Kerrie noticed that Kim was also pregnant, only noticeable because of the fitted clothes.

"Yes, we tend to have babies together. Us girls are all pretty close. Paul and Rachel have a little girl who is a year old, she wasn't at the house the other night since she was spending time with her grandpa." Kerrie nodded.

After class Kim and Kerrie went to get breakfast, Kerrie texted Katie letting her know she would be home soon. Kerrie picked up something for Katie when they parted ways but they agreed to go to another class together on Tuesday. When Kerrie arrived back Katie was drying her hair. Katie went to eat the breakfast Kerrie brought while Kerrie showered then the sisters got to work on the seating plan. Kerrie had a good idea of mixing everyone up, Kerrie put the couples names on a slip of paper and Katie picked them out of a bowl.

"This was so much easier then I thought." Katie said as the girls finished before lunch. Kerrie forced herself to smile and put a hand on her head.

"Your getting a migraine, aren't you?" Katie asked getting up and going to find Kerrie's medicine in her bag.

"Katie, I'm ok." Kerrie said getting up quick and almost falling since she was dizzy. Katie returned with the medicine and a large glass of water.

"You should lie down."

"But-"

"No buts, go lay down and rest." Katie walked with her sister down the hall and after she made sure Kerrie had drank another glass of water Katie returned to the living room. She sighed as her phone went off. "What is going on?" Katie saw Embry's text and decided to call Seth.

"Hello, are you ok?"

"Yes, I'm ok. We finished the seating plan. Kerrie has a migraine so she's laying down. Can you go pick up some pizza?"

"Yes, is she ok? Embry is having a panic attack." Seth said. Katie could hear some rusting and it sounded like Embry was trying to grab the phone. "He's coming with me."

"Ok, take your time." Katie flipped on the TV waiting for lunch to arrive. She nearly jumped when she heard the doorbell. Katie looked out the window and gasped.

"Oh shit." Katie mumbled texting Seth. "Get home quick."

"What are you doing here?" Katie asked opening the door.

"Oh Katie, wow! Your pregnant."

"Thanks for stating the obvious, asshole." Katie said crossing her arms over her chest glaring at the man.

"Is Kerrie here?"

"No." Katie spat.

"Katie, I spoke to your mother. She's the one that told me Kerrie was here."

"Well… she's not." Katie said going to close the door but a hand stopped her.

"Stop being a brat." The man said as Katie glared at him.

"You need to leave." Katie said stepping back as the man stood in the doorway.

"What the hell?" Katie turned to see Kerrie standing there, her hair was a mess and she looked very pale.

"Kerrie!"

"Rob, what are you doing here?" She said walking forward her hands clenched in fists. Katie smirked as Rob took a step back onto the porch as Seth pulled up and jumped out of the car with Embry right behind him.

"Kerrie, I-I made a mistake." Kerrie stood in the doorway and put a hand over her eyes since the light was hurting her eyes.

"Rob, leave. I can't deal with this right now." Kerrie said as Katie took her arm.

"Come on, you need to get back to bed." Katie said trying to usher Kerrie back inside but she didn't move.

"Who the heck are you?" Embry growled.

"I'm her boyfriend." Rob said as Kerrie shook her head.

"Very much ex-boyfriend. I haven't seen this asshole in 2 years. Fucking coward." Kerrie muttered the last part as Katie snickered. Embry was shaking as Seth stepped onto the porch.

"You should leave." Seth said calmly but Rob glared at him.

"Who are you?"

"My soon to be husband." Katie said quickly as Rob frowned.

"So it's true, I wondered if you just lived on the reservation. This guys must be well off compared to some of the other houses I saw, some of them are shacks." Seth and Embry both growled.

"Don't you dare look down your nose at anyone! You barely finished high school and your father never works." Kerrie said as Katie managed to get Kerrie to move a bit towards the couch.

"Kerrie, you shouldn't be here. We belong together. I was stupid, I do want to marry you."

"Katie-" Kerrie got out before she fell to her knees and Embry ran up the steps scooping her up and placing her on the couch. Katie went to get a cool facecloth and water.

"You did this." Embry growled as Rob put up his hands.

"This was all a mistake. She's still as bitchy as before." Rob said backing up as Seth stopped him.

"Don't you dare insult Kerrie." Embry was two feet from the man as Rob started to panic.

"Don't tell me your with her? She'd never-" Rob didn't finish the sentence as Embry punched Rob sending him flying off the porch. Rob was howling in pain as two more cars pulled up.

"What happened?" Kerrie said drowsily.

"Embry just punched the shit out of Rob." Katie said with a grin.

"Good." Kerrie said closing her eyes.

"You stay the hell away from her." Embry said looking down on the men who was bleeding all over the place.

"What is going on?" Jacob and Sam said at the same time.

"He started this, Kerrie's ex." Seth said as Embry stalked back into the house and knelt next to Kerrie.

"Thank you." Kerrie said not opening her eyes.

"Can I get you anything?"

"No, I just need to sleep." Kerrie muttered as Katie nodded.

"Can you bring her back to her room? I closed the shades, the dark helps." Embry picked up Kerrie and brought her back to the room as Jacob pulled Rob into a sitting position.

"Did the ladies ask you to leave?"

"Yes." Rob gritted.

"Then you should have left. Is this your car?" He asked motioning to the truck as Rob nodded.

"Good, we're going to drive you to the hospital and someone will wait till your cleared then your going to the airport and getting on the next flight home." Rob was muttering under his breath as Sam and Quil got him into a standing position.

"We'll take him." Jared said as Paul nodded.

"Your a lucky bastard, if that was me I'd rip your head off." Paul said as Rob flinched away from the two taller men.

"I can drive to the hospital." He muttered.

"We insist." Paul gritted as he snatched the car keys from him. Embry stood outside the bedroom room trying to calm himself. He knew Jake would give him a good talking to when they returned to the shop. Seth had left stating he needed to go pick up a pizza for Katie as Sam, Jake, and Quil returned to the shop.

"I'm glad you two got here when you did." Embry nodded as he sat at the kitchen table.

"I can't believe him, showing up here. That idiot broke up with her over the phone two years ago and now he thinks she'd marry him. He's out of his damn mind and our mother encouraging him." Katie said grabbing a beer and handing it to Embry.

"Kerrie would have never had said yes anyway, if she didn't have a migraine I bet she would have thrown a punch." Embry's eyes widened.

"I don't think-"

"Em, she's my sister and she had a temper. That's why that idiot broke up with her over the phone. He was afraid of her." Katie said snickering.

Katie left Embry alone with his thoughts as she went out to the porch and called their mother making sure she knew that sending Rob there was a bad idea. Ellen felt terrible and wanted to apologize to Kerrie but Katie didn't want to disturb her. Seth arrived with the pizzas and the three of them sat in silence, when Seth and Embry were done eating they had to return to the shop. Embry was hanging by the door.

"She's in good hands." Seth said as Katie nodded.

"She gets them occasionally, usually when she's stressed. I bet the long flight and time change caused it. She'll be ok later on tonight or tomorrow morning." Embry reluctantly left when Katie promised constant updates, a text an hour.
